9/11 line will inform future art.

Thanks for explaining that 9/11 is bigger than I$rael, that is a clear line and should be put out to guide persyns forward.

Thanks for no wakeup off a sir friendly :)
Oops. Nice helicopter!

Bye the way, how long till it runs out of fuel? And what about your stupid Nef use offin Iraq? They get to come home in a box -- or worse. Might want to figure out why imperialism is a bad idea for everyone.

"The next generation: Will be hear me!" --Thanks Joe!

reply to: , R Florian (marxistule).

You are right to say Russia is still imperialist. Okay, fight Russian imperialism first. But MIM is right the global contradiction is U.S. imperialism versus the Third World. Russia is just a junior partner and no longer competing to be number one imperialist.

I'm not sure if you are trotskyite, i hope not coz trotsky was an idiot. Are you or aren't you?

MIM says: Concentrate on the Main enemy. It's like we are in World War II and you want to fight japan first when germany is stronger. It's better to concentrate our forces on the main enemy, not secondary enemies.

MIM is also willing to set imperialists against each other. So what you interpret as MIM suddenly supporting Russia may simply be MIM splitting the imperialists and trying to guide the imperialists out of imperialism.

Please post this reply on your website.

I will unblock you.

Socialist _Realism

"keeping it real" is something we hear from the lumpen proletariat and something our art should practice. While it's okay to exaggerate characters for effect, to make things obvious, or even to make a crypto struggle point -- it's not *generally okay. Mao was a bit wrong on that and I've got to call him out on it. It's called socialist *realism* you know.

People want things that they can relate to and that can inspire them. If you make the heros like: "Superman" able to leap a tall building etcetera they become unbelievable and unattainable. We are not trying to get people to jump over buildings or even off of them. We are trying to get people to perform athletics at the best human level possible.

This point of athleticism ties back the idea of the struggle being in your body. You don't need to get shot at to feel the proletarian struggle. Your body should boil when you see injustice and you should then go and do sport to get the endorphin rush and purge your poisons. The party calls it purge for a reason it is describing a biological physical process -- getting rid of poison.

It is called "socialist Realism". Things should be realistic. We don't want characters with laser beams unless we think we can inspire our scientists to make laser beams. We don't want our soldiers bullet proof unless we can deliver that. This is about making false hopes, about leaving people feeling ripped off and disappointed when they believe our inspirational art.

Basically if it feels hokey or tacky just ask why. Struggle with your own internal revulsion mechanisms. You should have an inner moral compass, something that makes you feel "No, Bukake is just plain wrong".

Tips on spotting CIA are appreciated. I've my own views on this but if the party can expose some of its that might help me resolve a doubt.

CULTURAL REVIEW: DONT TREAD ON ME: USS CONSTITUTION

The USS Constitution ("Old Iron$ide$") is the Flagship of the United States Navy.

The Constitution dates back to when AmeriCa was still a Republic and only really wet dreaming of Empire. "She" (for imperialist whores are all female don'tchano) was one of the world's best killing machines when she began her Karreer; Enterprise, Wasp and Hornet were sister ships. Though outnumbered by the British Overt Empire's Navy the Constitution class of ships were both technologically superior and better crewed. Funny that FREE MEN can outfight slaves and slavedrivers.

"A Republic: IF you can keep her"

You didn't:

To the republic! Death to Amerika! Viva las AmeriCas!

In Memory of those who fought and died for the AmeriCan Republic. MIM fights on to free the AmeriCas from AmeriKKKan imperiali$m.

Note: Does anyone else realize it's an inviting target for physical attacks? Just saying.

SECURITY NOTE:
If someone was flying a black flage for the gang of four and actually wants to talk to me you know where I am. Why do you want to talk to me? What do you want to talk about? Unless you're looking for love (HAH) you might just as well write to me.

Ditto DPRK. See we have our choice of errors!

NEW TERMS FOR MIM
Wargasm - The climax of the imperialist eroticization of power
Moregasm - The climax of the bourgeois eroticization of wealth/things (objectification)
Poorgasm - either the fetishization of the poor or when the poor get off; so this one's not authorized or approved.

Devolution

Rereading the Chair:

This Minister was declared Art Minister well prior to MIM's devolution.

The Art Ministry is, reading the Chair's wishes broadly: Any Maoist Cell that wishes to seek fraternal affiliation is welcome to contact the Art Ministry.

The Art Ministry is currently and for the next six months doing two things:
1. Text work
2. Off screen work
3. Training new artists.

Top priority goes in fact to #3. #1 is the most visible. Don't expect more videos from the Art Minister. Do expect training from the Art Minister.

Newly trained artists will be free to form their own Maoist Cells, with or without fraternal ties to the Art Ministry. They will also be welcome to join the Art Ministry.

The Art Ministry is still subject to centralism, still expendable and will continue independant operations until ordered to take on any other form the Chair orders.

\M/

Met a Force

A metaphor for the curious: In the Tarot the major arcana The Fool features a person of undetermined gender walking in the sunlight, carefree, and followed by a dog.

Security: Yeah, well, being chased by helicopters is not such a big deal. Thanks for another wake up call pederales!

Happily, Your Minister has no secrets or names or pig type information to betray.

This year witnessed a major off-screen victory which explains why this Ministry is re sting on it's laurels. It's not resting.

Props to the Mossad for arming the footsoldier. Likewise, canon bleu.
Hope you're good on color perception on that Last one. It's a case for selective ignorance.

OPEN QUESTIONS OF STRATEGY

OPEN QUESTIONS

The enemy is strategically blind. Is the best strategy given this blindness to lure the enemy into self destruction? To encourage them in their error?

War consists of preservation of one's own forces, and capture or destruction of enemy resources & forces. The MIM has definitively survived a series of hard strikes and learned tough lessons. Should our objective be to lure the U.S. imperialists into further misadventures and defeats? It's a target rich environment with mistakes to be made in Iran, Korea, China and Russa, also Venezuela and Argentina.

When in doubt we must preserve our own forces, first. When we know our own forces are safe then we should attack strategically by encouraging the enemy's confusion. This is what the Art Ministry means by "disinformation". Hey imperialists, go wage an oil war!

Tactically, we know that a series of low risk attacks over a long time will eventually lead to victory, thus Maoism is a protracted struggle. Strategically, the quantum catalyst is to lure the enemy into mistakes. The tactical approach alone will work, but combined with the strategic approch it will work quicker.

The enemy is strategically blind. This is one of the reasons MIM has strategic confidence in the proletariat. The enemy is at any one point tactically superior but globally outnumbered. The enemy's strategy consists in concentrating force at one decisive point, currently in Iraq. Should our strategy be to open as many new fronts for them as possible? The enemy forces are stretched to the max. Each new front they walk into would weaken them quicker.

Remember: The enemy is tactically superior due to superior technology, yet strategically weaker due to being outnumbered and stupid.

TEXT TO SPEECH ENGINES, camstudio, moviemaker, imovie

Microsoft makes various text to speech engines. They definitely have one for Spanish and Russian. They may (or may not) have one for tagalog.

NEVER USE YOUR OWN VOICE
Do you know what Mousnonya looks or sounds like? No. Be that way. Never let anyone know who you are what you look like how your voice sounds.

--madamAU

madamAU has it! The yanqui imperialists are so blood soaked they cant think -- they're too busy wargasming.


CAMSTUDIO -- A good free product, good choice, there are others.

"I just want to tell you that I just actually downloaded a screen recorder.. its called *camstudio*..

MOVIEMAKER

Yes, I mostly used moviemaker. iMovie works well too.


>LANGUAGE

I try to use an oppressed language whenever possible, like english speech with spanish subtitles.


"I think mere *text-on-vids* is not that agitating, it isnt that cathcy. :)"

Yes, you want to overload your viewers visual and auditory channels with the same message. Text alone is better than nothing, text with music even better text with music with words best of all.


"SECURITY is a top priority.. :D"

YES.


"I dont even know what music ill use? madonna's vogue or something!?"

Haha that's what makes it Fun! :D

"i still dont have any idea on video editing/making.."

How to make movies: The way to learn is by doing.

"your best bet: download the song, and then split the mp3 from the video. i would like you to learn how to do that so you can learn how to make your own art! :D erightsoft has a great free video editor, so is vlc. get those downloaded. get a plugin for firefox to download the video. conver the .flv you download to avi. splitting the mp3 off the video *is* possible." -moussy


> now its time for making Maoist agitation, how?
like what do all of you use to make the vids?
powerpoint..? hoho.. i have no idea! please tell me how!


SCREEN RECORDERS

Screen recorders record *whatever is displayed on the screeen*. They are one of my ". "dirty secrets" You don't want to find a recorder that just takes a still snapshot. You want one that records whatever happens on screen as an avi. SnapzPro is good but has a timeout after like a week or so. You can find freeware screen recorders on google.

You *could* make a video out of a powerpoint presentation: Make your powerpoint. Start the screen recorder. Run the power point. Turn off the power point. Turn off the screen recorder. Add sound using quicktime pro or import the movie into moviemaker, add sound track and export.

Yes, you are right to start simply and work up. I started out with animating gifs. Microsoft gif animator is a good free tool for animating gifs. Try that! Seriously. It's a good start. The powerpoint idea is also good!


I used microsoft moviemaker -- it's simple and version 2 was free -- it requires xp

Or you can use iMovie on mac -- also simple and comes with the system

i dont know a linux solution

i get footage from the internet. i search google video, altavista video search (very good!) and youtube for footage sources. Also animated gifs are easy to find -- look for live journal animated gif feed

i get mp3s from altavista's mp3 search

you have to convert the videos to a form your software can use
avi works best for cross platform. youtube will compress it for you so don't worry about the size of your file. i never do its never a problem.

what is important: convert videos to avi using VLC or erightsoft's conversion program

i splice things either using moviemaker or quicktime pro.

does this make sense? ask specific questions.

The way to learn is by doing it!

Good Morning

Good morning officer! Well, why you are wondering if I have a gun? That's capitalism. You officer can blame capitalism on all those handguns you face every day. Why am I terrified of you? Why you want that -- don't you? Even if you don't I am fully aware you can shoot me dead and no one will do anything about that if it was because I'm black and poor? More capitalism. See, unlike some I knew, I am *very* good at *not* getting shot. So please, the next time the neighbor complains, just pretend to say hi and we'll both pretend not to be terrified. And now you know why I'm so much different in person than on the little screen. Guess what, I'm not acting. I'm that afraid of you fuckers. But I also haven't anything left to lose. Suicide by cop? Lucky for you I'm not suicidal.

< those expecting cultural reviews, sorry there is no culture to review. culture implies cultivation, conscious effort to develop something better than what is or was. and that's just not happening in amerika, and amerika dominates global kkkultur

Notes on MacKinnon:
1) Yes, the 3d World is pornifying at breakneck pace.
2) Opposes use of term "sex worker" as normalizing sex relations.
3) Definitely argues against eroticization of power.
4) Is wary of scientificity :(
5) Is non essentialist: Just because men dominate(d) discourse doesn't mean men have no right to speak. Depends on what the man says.
6) Doesn't disagree about global principal contradiction being 1st world 3d world.
7) Doesn't disagree that Third World is gendered female.

MOVIE REVIEW: V FOR VENDETTA

A while back, ur minister said the art ministry could and would do disinformation and anonymous work. MIM can always issue direct orders to the art ministry.

Who else noticed the WARHO art? Art Ministry doesn't take credit for that bit of brilliance because well I didn't do it.

I do think it vindicates my defence of Warhol and especially his prodigy/progeny.

MOVIE REVIEW: V FOR VENDETTA

This movie will not be banned under the JDP. Spoilers follow.

The lead character "V" got that name by being in Cell block 5 of a genetic warfare research department. Just to be clear, Nazis DID do experimentation on live human test subjects killing lots of innocent people. This even has a name, "destructive testing" "on human test subjects" (google that).

The prison hospital V and the other prisoners are in has a huge fire. This fire scars V all over hir body. In the V comic book we know that the genetic warfare tests make V a transsexual. The movie doesn't say that outright but somewhat implies it. This introduces the them of ANONYMITY a key feature of that film, maybe even it's main point, the idea of ANONYMOUS struggle.

The movie has a standard romance plot that's sort of obvious: Evey is rescued by V from fascist pigs who wanted to rape her but then Evey becomes V's prisoner -- she cannot go back to fascist britain (ruled by the fascist group Norsefire). Points to the creators, they use a cross of lorraine, a two barred cross. This was the crypto-fascist Charles DeGaulle's symbol. DeGaulle proposed the Third Way between capitalism and communism -- in other words, fascism.

Anyway, Evey hate's being V's prisoner but V is sort of hot for her and She is sort of hot for V and they do that dance, does it really matter in what order? I think not.

The important part that emerges is that V has a vendetta to kill the conspirators who ran the biowarfare hospital s/he was in. Those biowarfare conspirators conspiracy has lasted long enough and has resulted in them seizing state power at the head of a vanguard party. THIS IS THE OTHER (V)iTAL MESSAGE OF THE FILM A DISCIPLINED MINORITY CAN SEIZE STATE POWER VIA ANONYMOUS STRUGGLE The fascist british masses do not know that there is a conspiracy which is part of why it is effective. The conspiracy features an important propaganda demagogue who reminds one of Rush Limbaugh. It's really obvious that V is talking about todays neo-con run world.

Downside of the movie though is individualism. V thinks it is all about hir individual shit story and never seems to understand that the whole thing is about how a group of conspirators succesfully dominated a fascist society manipulating it by fear of terror and war into doing whatever it is told. V at least has the right weapon anonymity, but so do the conspirators.

Another downside is that the movie is in many ways unrealistic. The action scenese include swordfights that would never happen in reality. Though, the scene where V is all strapped up for a suicide bombing is realistic, enough. Ooops, typo? Anyways, the movie has the lone INDIVIDUAL able to outfight an entire government, singlehandedly. So there is some unrealistic focoism that would have to be edited under the JDPON. Though unrealistic the opening V solliloquy with V words (Verily, I vouch I volunteer to veraciously vex the vaunted vultures of oppression) was good.

Individualism mars the movie. We are told that V is about a persynal vendetta. V hirself at one point gives Evey, hir love interest, the choice whether to blow up the system of oppression. Ok, V is tired. But that's just weak. Either the oppressors deserve the death V inflicts on them or they don't and they obviously do. Likewise the film doesn't recognize the labor aristocracy base of fascism. The clueless yobs and chavs in the film ARE britain. Either the people are oppressed -- and Britons aren't -- or they are. This may explain why V was ambivalent about launching his train-bomb. There aren't any britons to liberate, just willing accomplices in fascism to off.

For all its gay and transsexual themes there is suprisingly little overt sex in the movie. No hot kissing or fucking scenese. Visually the colors are good and transitions too are smooth with the contemporary trend toward rapid sequences which don't have time to register consciously. Why people accept such obvious hypnotic effects is beyond me, who knows what they are jamming into 30 different frames a second. Anyway that can all be analyzed with the right software.

All in all despite individualism, focoism, failrue to recognize the labor aristocracy base of british fascism and unrealistic elements the film gets a pass. It describes anonymous struggle. It points out the reality of conspiracy and government manipulation of masses by false flags operations. It pushes gay and transsexual rights. And it shows that revolutionaries can and should overthrow oppressors.

CULTURAL REVIEW: TACO BELL

Food of the oppressed for the oppressors, sold cheap, not terribly unhealthy no tipping. One critique: They have neither fruit juice nor water. So the drink section pushes diabetes. The hot sauce is good to reduce cancer risk among smokers, seriously. All in all: I'm all for Taco Bell -- anything to make the imperialists get used to like being around brown skinned people! ...they sort of have no choice those brown skinned persyns will be funding their retirement. Gracias, la comida estaba muy bien!

I'm in ur base, killing ur d00dz. [CULTURAL REVIEW: WALMART vs. KKKMART]

Hey Ph3Ds!

I'm in ur base, killing ur d00dz.
And when I say killing I mean keeping you from killing them. I'm just that twisted.


CULTURAL REVIEW: WALMART vs. KKKMART

This is the flipside of StabBucks. These are the people that tr0tskyite lusers think are somehow "oppressed". Okay, here goes.

1) We walk in the store. Some old dude/dudette greets us. Of course, he's really there to watch out for boosters. But wait a minute. That dude/tte is OLD. That dude/tte is living on social security. Does the WalMart greeter job look like a form of corporate welfare for poor white trash loyal to the imperialist system to you? To me it does. Anyway, greets d00d, scusa i gotta check out ur base!

2) The second main site: 40 inch LCD display blasting WalMart propaganda. Always God and Country. Always! The walmart propaganda machine gets credit good visuals, stayed on message, the walton family is an interesting little mafia. Of course we know they don't really believe this god and country bullshit, they are international capitalists. But since when does truth have anything to do with an effective propaganda machine? When it's MIM that's when.

3) Okay let's check out the goods. Seriously, we've escaped the two hypnotic effects.

Holy fucking shit this is pig paradise! 3 notebooks for a dollar?!? Ditto the cheap chocolate! Shoes for like 15 bucks? WTF! Anything and everything you could want and really really fucking cheap! Why bother stealing it!?!?

But I specially want to direct your attention to the toy section. You can get lots of nazi toys. I'm not joking. Seems our god and country volk know their own.

A brief comparison to KKKMart: KKKmart has it's own cheap restaurant (seriously cheap!) You could get away with not tipping there and the food is cheap. WallyHell doesn't have that they outsource the restaurant. However KKKmart doesn't have the 40 inch lcd televisions. Their are a couple electronic goods each does not have. WallyHell has more phones and electronics, generally, but KKKmart had a couple of specialty items. UR minister got a nice shadow treatment in KKKMart looking for boosters unlike in WallyHell -- boosters, it's ALWAYS low prices! Since I don't boost it was just hilarious listening to the frantic calls for "JIM" to do a code (who cares it aint the NSA).

All in all the experiences were good. KKKmart has a much nicer lunch counter. Wally hell has more and cheaper goods. KKKmart has GUNS, Wally hell doesn't. Wally has nazi toys KKKMart doesn't. So there is some difference but not too much.

Both are paradise for amerikans. God and KKKountry are pitched constantly. The goods are so cheap because they are made by sweatshop labor in the Third World. These cheap goods are all funnelled straight to the american "lower" class. These places aren't too lumpen so there is one level lower. But even among the lumpen "God" is a big idea since the lumpen are totally fucked and need some hope for a better future. That's why religion is fake it tells us things will get better after we die - but they won't.

END CULTURAL REVIEW

Yeah, the democrats are the republican's bitch. What a surprise. But the greens as an alternative? Please, the german greens supported the iraq war.

Unless MIMers are in jail or dead the PhEDs strikes were not too hard. P.S. feds, who is it that let's you get backchannel information? Oh yeah. Good point. When imperialists walk out on a limb like iraq and come back home limbless is that MIM's fault for pointing it out? They should be grateful we're not trying to saw the limb off.

The Art Ministry is currently doing covert work. If MIM wants vids MIM is gonna have to say that.

Cultural Review: Starbucks

In this CULtural review it's useful to remember that Cul is french for arse. And that about describes what MIM thinks of Starbuck's CULinARy(e) experience.


Where to begin? We walk into starbucks and are greeted by a welcome chill of cold air - at least till we remember that nicely chilled air came from oil stolen from the middle east that powers the air-Con. What happens next? Advertising. Okay so far no good, just standard capitalism. But wait. Soon we realize we are in someplace very ... special. It takes not too long to realize we are in ... a temple! A temple of consumption!

From the finely appointed ceiling lights to the extra comfy chairs en passant par the outlets for laptops -- this place is luxury heaven!

So we walk up to the bar to get a cup of coffee. Fair trade coffee either does not exist or is not being pushed by starbucks. If StabBucks were to push the fair trade coffee maybe it would get a better review. Nope. So we try to get a coffee, just a fucking cup of exploitation of Third World plantation slave labor -- but no. There are far far too many choices. And each and every one of them more pretentious than the last.

What about the so called workers at StabBucks? After all this is where the tr0ts claim to see revolutionary potential. Please. Spare us. First, have you ever seen those yellow smiley buttons that mutated into pacman back in the 70s? That about sums up the usual StabBucks so-called worker. A happy little cog in corporate profit. I have never seen more flippant, glib and sacharine sweet cheery people in my entire fucking life. WTF. Do those corporate yobs realize they are nothing but cheap labor? Apparently they think they are junior partners in capitalism, just like MIM says they are, and judging by their stock options and plans for expansion they -- and MIM -- are right. Tr0tskyite lusers those fuckers at stabbucks are NOT workers. They are junior partners in capitalist exploitation of the Third World.

And did I not mention StabBucks is a temple to consumption? Indeed. What kind of consumption, i mean is it people at least consuming necessaries? No. It's a fucking coffee shop. It's all luxury consumption, not one bit of it necessary to survival. In fact it's about a drug addiction, caffeine. Hm. What do we say about a place Dedicated to conspicuous consumption with no useful purpose where one can lounge back in a super comfy chair enjoying their cup of superprofit exploitation?

Yep. It's a ORGANIZED PARASATISM.

Still having trouble believing me? What about that stupid fucking tipjar then? It's counter service. Yet they want tips? Explanation please, what are they doing that is oh-so-extra special as to deserve a monetary thank-you? Nothing. And that is what Stabbucks is all about -- doing nothing, really, while feeling self important and acting pretentious.

In case you tr0tskyite lusers are still having trouble buying MIM's analysis of these so-called workers let's just listen in on the witty panache of those so called workers. Typical comments included "Go big or Go Home" those fuckers are obviously planning their next move up the corporate latte.r. Likewise "It's like christmas in a cup". Yeah, rot your teeth out, thanks greed.

Is there ANYTHING good to be said about Stabbucks? Yes. The toilets. You can actually lock the door and bathe and shave. Homeless people should all go to Stabbucks to do their washing up. No one will notice. In fact they will feel guilty -- and they damned well should. Fucking parasites.
