ON PRECISION WRITING
from Burroughs
Live: The Collected Interviews of William S. Burroughs, 1960-1997:
“It’s a question of getting

If I really knew how to

someone would read and it
would kill them.”

12 FEB 02: WALTER BENJAMIN
ON HASHISH
from some Benjamin bio,
via Adam Mortimer:
There is an interesting gloss
on “politeness” in the essay “Hashish in
Marseilles”, which describes
how Benjamin, after smoking hashish, succumbed to
hunger, which required a
visit to Basso’s restaurant. Here he ordered oysters
from the menu, and a local
dish as a main course. The waiter returned to say
that his choice of main
course was unavailable, and offered him the menu a
second time. Benjamin’s
finger hovers over the previously chosen dish, then
settles on the dish directly
above it, which he orders. Then he orders the dish
above that one, and the
next dish, and the next, all the way to the top of the
menu. “This was not just
from greed, however,” Benjamin comments, “but from an
extreme politeness toward
the dishes, which I did not wish to offend by a
refusal.”
10 FEB 02: INTRIGUING
NEW RECORDS, RECORDS, RECORDS.
from recent editions of
the Forced Exposure ‘new releases’ bulletin:
SOUL JAZZ RECORDS (UK):
VA: In The Beginning, There
Was Rhythm CD (SJR 57 CD). “This record
features the groups that
grew out of Punk and embraced dance music.
These groups reflected the
changing face of a British multi-cultural
society in the aftermath
of Punk, taking on new musical influences
such as Black American dance
music, Reggae and Electronic music. A
Certain Ratio were one of
the first groups to be signed to Factory
Records in Manchester, the
first band to make the connection between
punk and US Black dance
music. It was A Certain Ratio who went to New
York to record their first
album that managed to mix a sparse
Manchester bleakness in
their sound along with US funk/dance
elements. A Certain Ratio’s
early cover of the US group Banbarra’s
‘Shack Up’ features the
amazing funk drumming of new recruit Donald
Johnson. ‘Knife Slits Water’
is a classic extended disco mix that
managed to bring the punk
7″ into the world of the dance 12″.
Sheffield became a focal
point for DIY-electronic groups at the end
of the 70s. The two most
successful were Cabaret Voltaire and The
Human League. Whilst Cabaret
Voltaire stuck to their roots, signing
to, and staying on, a fledgling
new label, Rough Trade Records, The
Human League would go on
to international stardom as their
experimental late-70s electronic
music turned into 80s synth-pop. At
the beginning, both these
groups were interested in electronic music
and how this music could
be created within a punk ethos.
Consequently, the all-electronic
‘Being Boiled’ was created on a
two-track tape recorder
in mono! The Pop Group were the forerunners
of what came to be known
as The Bristol Sound. Other groups that have
come out of this chain include
Rip, Rig and Panic, Maximum Joy,
Massive Attack and Portishead.
The Pop Group mixed Punk, Funk, Disco
and Reggae influences into
a sound that many future bands would
emulate. Out of Leeds came
The Gang of Four. Again mixing Punk with
dance and a large dose of
Marxist philosophy, The Gang of Four were
initially released on the
Edinburgh based independent label, Fast (as
were The Human League).
This Heat. An early inspiration to many of
the groups here, Camberwell’s
finest ’24 Track Loop’ is an incredible
precurser to electronic,
industrial music which sounds like an early
version of Jungle. The concept
of Industrial music would be taken a
stage further by Throbbing
Gristle who released music on their own
Industrial Music label with
the intent of pushing the boundary
between music and noise.
23 Skidoo’s interests stretched as far as
Kung Eu, Gamelan Music,
Language and Semiotics. Apart from this, they
also managed to combine
their musical influences like no-one else. On
their classic album, Seven
Songs, Dance music, Experimental noise and
Gamelan music combine in
equal measures. ‘Vegas El Bandito’ is taken
from this record. ‘Coup’
is one of the definitive dance records from
this period. Finally, The
Slits were possibly the closest of these
groups to The Sex Pistols.
‘In The Beginning, There Was Rhythm’
(produced by Dennis Bovell)
was indeed a prophesy of the music to
follow Punk, where Punk
would meet Funk, Reggae and Disco.”

IS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SIMPLY THE RELIGIOUS WING OF NAMBLA?
From the LATimes:
Reports of Priests’ Abuse
Enrage Boston Catholics
By ELIZABETH MEHREN, TIMES
STAFF WRITER
BOSTON — Among Catholics
here, the floodgates of rage and disappointment poured open this week.
On radio
talk shows, in chatter at convenience stores and in emergency “listening
sessions” convened hastily by the Archdiocese of Boston, the faithful vented
anger and frustration over daily disclosures that scores of pedophile priests
worked in the region with the full knowledge of church officials.
As the
number of implicated clergy members soared to 80, the crisis grew so deep
that nearly half the Roman Catholics polled said Cardinal Bernard Law should
resign. The turmoil over what church officials knew, when they knew it
and what they did or did not do to protect themselves and their parishioners
has rocked a region that is more than 50% Catholic.
“This
is our Sept. 11,” Boston College professor Thomas H. Groome said Friday.
By week’s end, the archdiocese had given law enforcement authorities the
names of at least 80 priests accused of sexual misconduct with minors over
the last 20 or more years.
The archdiocese
also announced Thursday that six more priests had been suspended. Earlier
in the week, the archdiocese relieved two other priests of duties, also
following accusations that they had sexual relations with children.
Both
actions came days after Law publicly insisted that all priests in his jurisdiction
who were suspected of sexually abusing children had been removed from their
duties…
The survey
found that 64% said church leaders care more about protecting the accused
priests than helping the victims.
“I think
for a long time people have known that the church has been aware of these
problems and has not acted expeditiously,” said Lisa Cahill, a professor
of moral theology at Boston College, a Jesuit institution.
“Part
of what’s appalling,” she continued, “is the extensiveness of the problem,
based just on the number of these priests that keep surfacing in New England.
Every day, you hear about six more cases.”
Recently, the archdiocese said it had settled so many child sexual abuse
claims against it that a multimillion-dollar insurance fund was running
dry.
Scandals
involving pedophile priests have hit parishes across America–and indeed,
around the world–in recent decades. Thousands of adults have come forward
to say they were abused as children and many priests have been sent to
jail.
At first,
accusations against Father James Geoghan seemed no different. The 66-year-old
defrocked priest was charged in three separate criminal sexual abuse cases
dating from the 1980s and 1990s. More than 130 people have claimed they
were fondled or molested by Geoghan, who also is a defendant in 84 civil
lawsuits.
But in
the course of the Geoghan investigation, Law was forced to tell prosecutors
that the priest’s pattern of pedophilia was no secret in the local Catholic
hierarchy.
Law abruptly
promised to supply law enforcement agencies with names of priests suspected
of such behavior. He organized a panel including medical experts to look
into sexual abuse within the church. The cardinal also appealed for public
understanding, urging Catholics to pray for him as he faced this difficult
situation.
On Jan.
25, he vowed, “There is no priest, or former priest, working in this archdiocese
in any assignment whom we know to have been responsible for sexual abuse.”
Days
later, he removed two more priests for alleged child molestation.
The archdiocese
did not respond to requests Friday for an interview with the cardinal.
However, after returning from the Vatican, Law told local reporters at
Logan International Airport: “Our intent is to do everything we possibly
can to ensure the protection of children.”
Around
the archdiocese, the scope of the scandal–and its growing momentum–continued
to shock Catholics, who expressed grief, outrage and, most of all, a sense
of betrayal.
“You
have an organization that is based on faith, and part of that faith derives
from your confidence in the institution that houses that faith,” said Paul
Nace, a real estate developer in Newton who was raised Catholic.
“When
events happen that call into question that institution, at a very basic
and moral level it also calls into question your faith,” Nace said.
As horrific
as the spiraling number of clergy sexual abuse cases might be, “the most
disturbing part is that it appears that decisions were made to protect
the institution at the expense of the victims,” Nace said. “You’ve got
a head-on, loggerhead collision with everything that institution is supposed
to stand for.”
Groome,
a former priest and author of a new book called “What Makes Us Catholic,”
said that to Catholics, the church represents a vastly more important institution
than in some other denominations.
“We have
obviously exaggerated the importance of the institution,” he said. “Everybody
has a priesthood, and everybody invests in their priesthood, but nobody
in the Western world has invested in their priesthood the way Catholics
have. This is why all of this is so desperately shattering.”
Mitchell
Garabedian, an attorney representing 84 plaintiffs in civil suits against
Geoghan, said his clients have had their faith ravaged by their experiences.
“They
cannot seek spiritual relief anywhere because of what has happened to them,”
Garabedian said. “The very entity they want to
turn to has in a sense helped them to be molested. It is mind-boggling.”
Some
of the claims he has looked into involving the Boston archdiocese date
back more than 40 years, Garabedian said. Far from surprised that so many
names of alleged predator priests have been put forward by the church,
“I’d be surprised if more names were not revealed,” he said.
“There
is a serious problem within the Archdiocese of Boston,” Garabedian went
on. “For decades they have been imprisoned by pedophiles and shackled by
their own denial.”
The troubles
at the archdiocese took a new turn late in the week when a family in which
both a father and son were abused by priests filed a suit against Cardinal
Law. The latest legal action–the first directed at the cardinal himself–claims
Law “intentionally” and “recklessly” inflicted emotional damage on Thomas
and Christopher Fulchino by knowingly assigning a pedophile priest to their
parish.

OF MCDONALD’S
ABOVE: French farmer
Jose Bove has some French bread, cheese and wine after he was freed from
the Villeneuve les Maguelonne jail in the south of France, Tuesday, September
7, 1999. Bove, leader of a radical farmers’ union, was jailed for nearly
three weeks for vandalizing McDonald’s restaurant property. The small Farmers’
Confederation has made McDonald’s the main target in a wave of sometimes
violent protests, decrying the fast-food chain as a symbol of American
trade “hegemony” and economic globalization.(AP Photo/Christophe Ena).
from New
Left Review 12, November-December 2001
JOSÉ BOVÉ
The demolisher of McDonalds
explains his personal background, the history of
the Peasants Confederation
in France, and the international objectives of Via
Campesina. Struggles in
the countryside of the Massif Central or Karnataka as
spear-points in the anti-globalization
movement.
You founded the Confédération
Paysanne in 1987. What is its project?
JOSE BOVE: Firstly, its
a defence of the interests of peasants as workers. Were
exploited, tooby the banks,
by the companies who buy our produce, by the firms
who sell us equipment, fertilizers,
seeds and animal feed. Secondly, its a
struggle against the whole
intensive-farming system. The goals of the
multinationals who run it
are minimum employment and maximum, export-oriented
productionwith no regard
for the environment or food quality. Take the
calf-rearing system. First
the young calf is separated from its mother. Then
its fed on milk thats
been machine-extracted, transported to a factory,
pasteurized, de-creamed,
dried, reconstituted, packaged and then, finally,
re-transported to the farmswith
huge subsidies from the EU to ensure that the
processed milk actually
works out cheaper than the stuff the calves could have
suckled for themselves.
Its this sort of economic and ecological madness,
together with the health
risks that intensive farming involves, that have given
the impetus to an alternative
approach.
…Were
committed
to developing forms of sustainable
agriculture, which respect the need for
environmental protection,
for healthy food, for labour rights. Any farmer can
join the Confédération
Paysanne. Its not limited to those using organic methods
or working a certain acreage.
You just have to adhere to the basic project.
There are around 40,000
members now. In the Chambres dAgriculture elections
this year we won 28 per
cent of the vote overalland much more in some
départements. It
was 44 per cent in Aveyron, and 46 per cent in La Manche.
How did this come to pit
you against the junk-food industrymost famously,
dismantling the McDonalds
in Millau?
During the eighties we built
up a big campaign in France against the pressures
on veal farmers to feed
growth hormones to their calves. There was a strong
boycott movement, and a
lot of publicity about the health risks. Successive
Ministers of Agriculture
were forced to impose restrictions, despite heavy
lobbying from the pharmaceutical
industry. At the end of the eighties the EU
banned their use in livestock-rearing,
but it has been wriggling about on the
question ever since. In
1996, the US submitted a complaint to the WTO about
Europes refusal to import
American hormone-treated beefexploiting the results
of a scientific conference,
organized by EU Commissioner Franz Fischler, that
had concluded, scandalously,
that five of the hormones were perfectly safe. But
there was so much popular
opposition, linked to peoples growing anxieties about
what was happening in the
food chainmad cow disease, Belgian chickens poisoned
with benzodioxin, salmonella
scares, GMOsthat the European Parliament actually
held firm. When the WTO
deadline expired in the summer of 1999, the US slapped a
retaliatory 100 per cent
surcharge on a long list of European productsRoquefort
cheese among them. This
was a huge question locallynot just for the sheeps
milk producers, but for
the whole Larzac region.
When
we said we would protest by dismantling the half-built McDonalds in our
town, everyone understood
whythe symbolism was so strong. It was for proper
food against malbouffe,
agricultural workers against multinationals. The actual
structure was incredibly
flimsy. We piled the door-frames and partitions on to
our tractor trailers and
drove them through the town. The extreme Right and
other nationalists tried
to make out it was anti-Americanism, but the vast
majority understood it was
no such thing. It was a protest against a form of
food production that wants
to dominate the world. I saw the international
support for us building
up, after my arrest, watching TV in prison. Lots of
American farmers and environmentalists
sent in cheques.
…What were your demands
at Seattle?
Firstly, all countries should
have the right to impose their own tariffs, to
protect their own farming
and food resources and maintain a balance between town
and countryside. People
have a fundamental right to produce the food they need
in the area where they
live. That means opposing the current relocation of
American and European agribusinesschicken
and pig farms, and greenhouse
vegetablesto countries
with cheap labour and no environmental regulation. These
firms dont feed the local
people: on the contrary, they destroy the local
agriculture, forcing small
peasant-farming families off the land, as in Brazil.
Secondly, we have to take
measures to end the multinationals dumping practice.
Its a well-established
tactic used to sweep a local agriculture out of the way.
They flood a country with
very cheap, poor-quality produce, subsidized by
massive handouts in export
aid and other help from big financial interests. Then
they raise prices again,
once the small farmers have been destroyed. In
sub-Saharan Africa, livestock
herds have been halved as a result of the big
European meat companies
flooding in heavily subsidized frozen carcasses. The
abolition of all export
aid would be a first step towards fair trading. The
world market would then
reflect the real cost of production for the exporting
countries.
Thirdly,
we absolutely refuse the right of the multinationals to impose patents
on living things. Its bio-piracy,
the grossest form of expropriation on the
planet. Patents are supposed
to protect a new invention or a new technique, not
a natural resource. Here,
its not even the technique but the products, the
genetically modified seeds
themselves, that are patented by half-a-dozen
chemical companies, violating
farmers universally recognized right to gather
seed for the next years
harvest. The multinationals GM programme has also been
a ferocious attack on biodiversity.
For instance, something like 140,000 types
of rice have been cultivated
in Asia, over the centuries. Theyve been adapted
to particular local tastes
and growing conditionslong-grain, short-grain,
variations in height, taste,
texture, tolerance of humidity and temperatures,
and so on. The food companies
are working on five or six strains, genetically
modified for intensive,
low-labour cultivation, and imposing them in areas of
traditional subsistence
farming. In some Asian countriesthe Philippines and
China are the worst casesthese
half-dozen varieties now cover two-thirds of
rice-growing land.
…The
Marrakesh accords were supposed to be subject to a balance sheet at
Seattleof course, this
never came. Not that we need an official report to know
that the countries of the
South have been the biggest losers: opening their
borders has invited a direct
attack on the subsistence agriculture there. For
example, South Korea and
the Philippines used to be self-sufficient in rice
production. Now theyre
compelled to import lower-grade rice at a cheaper price
than the local crops, decimating
their own paddy production. India and Pakistan
are being forced to import
textile fibres, which is having a devastating effect
on small cotton farmers.
In Brazila major agricultural exportera growing
percentage of the population
is suffering from actual malnutrition. The
multinationals are taking
over, denying large numbers of farming families access
to the land and the possibility
of feeding themselves.
06 FEB 02:
from Der
Spiegel, by way of the always-interesting Babelfish Translator Device:
Daniel and Manuela Ruda: Kiss after
the judgement
JUDGEMENT DURING THE SATANISTEN
PROCESS
Grinsen in the face
Grinsend and smirking received
the two Satanisten Manuela and Daniel Ruda the judgement, which will bring
them for long time into a closed psychiatric hospital. Before the Bochumer
regional court they were condemned for the murder at a 33-jaehrigen acquaintance
to detentions by 13 or 15 years.
Bochum – after the message
of the judges the Rudas must spend indefinite time in a closed psychiatric
institute. A chance, from the measure execution in such a way specified
dismisses to become, exists only, if consultants classified the patients
as harmless. The defender said after in relation to the judgement the ARD:
” the two are bekloppt, if you permit me the printout. ” Also Manuela and
Daniel Ruda are still felsenfest convinced a half year after the murder
at the 33-Jaehrigen of the fact that the devil would have given them personally
the job to the blood act.
During
the process several consultants had come to the judgement that the married
couple could due to their personality disturbances and the act insight
lacking at any time again murders. Experts had explained that a handling
could take clearly more than ten years up. It is not to be excluded however
that a therapy fails completely. The married people are momentary not even
able to develop debt feelings.
The pair
had brutally murdered the acquaintance with 66 meter passes and hammer
blows after own confession in July 2001. However had the accused abgestritten
that it concerned murder – finally they would have received the job from
Satan. A voice from the underworld instructed it: ” kill! Bring victims!
Bring souls! ” Also Daniel Ruda, which had wanted original to state during
the process, explained: ” if one someone with the auto over-driven, is
accused also not the auto. “
” it
did not concern Satanismus, but around a crime of two disturbed humans
“, the chairman Richter of the court of assizes chamber, explained Arnjo
Kerstingtombroke in his in-hour grounds. ” the Satanismus was a Popanz,
it before itself moved over. ” The criminally liableness was so substantially
reduced that a lifelong detention was out of the question. To the accused
he said. ” with the production is now conclusion. Now the grey Einerlei
of the psychiatry comes for long time. “
For Daniel
Ruda did not detect the judges milderungsgruende on. Because of murder
in the status of reduced criminally liableness he got the maximum penalty
of 15 years. Since its wife did not take the original initiative to the
act, so the grounds, were reduced their imprisonment by two years. The
pair killed, continued to tighten the completely badless victim insidiously
and from low motives the court.
With
the message the judges still go beyond the demands of the public prosecutor’s
office, which had required 14 years for the accused and for its wife detention
of twelve years. Both public prosecutor’s office and the defenders had
expressed themselves in their final speech on Monday to accommodate the
married people in a closed psychiatric institute. Both pages had pleaded
for reduced criminally liableness.
The lawyers
still announced in the court room revision against the judgement. ” the
judgement is too hard, and the Satanismus played very probably a role “,
said attorney Reinhard Benneken.
