The Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army call for for an action to get the fool Bush out of the palace, and get some real jesters in.

Unofficial Communiqu #1.5 11/11/03
Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army

To her majesty the queen, ladies and gentlemen of the press, neighbours, fellow motley rebels and comrade clowns of the world,

We the men and women of the Clandestine insurgent Rebel Clown Army(CIRCA) are celebrating the auspicious news that for the first time in over 500 years, a fool is being allowed back into the Palace on official business.

From the 19th -- 21st of November 2003, royalty will once again be honored with the companionship of a clown, who in time honored tradition will be free to laugh in the face of majesty and given leave to speak truth to power.

However it has been brought to the notice of the CIRCA that this new jester will be none other than the president of the United States, George W Bush (AKA Dubya). Despite his aptitude for grotesque grimaces, his slapstick routines with pretzels and his enviable promotion of the absurd, the CIRCA believes that Dubya will not honor the dignified role of palace fool. His pathetic lies (Iraq's WDM's), his blatant stealing (presidential election) and his desire to spread global misery (promoting neo-conservative capitalism) disqualify him for the job of court jester. His jokes will not be peppered with wisdom and his mocking words will be filled with deception, rather than insight.

We must not allow this false fool to make fun of our noble queen and escape with impunity; it is an insult to all citizens and clowns of the world. At an emergency meeting of the CIRCA decentralised committee, the following demand was made: That the Royal Household rescind Dubya's invitation and in his place employ a court jeste rworthy of the title.

If these demands are not met by midnight on the 16th of November 2003, the CIRCA will muster its forces and prepare for an assault on the palace, using any (absurd) means possible.

In the name of the glorious, ongoing, insurrectionary festival of red-nosed resistance, we call on all stripes of silly, ludicrous, anti-authoritarian clowns to be on a state of alert and arm themselves with oversized pretzels, custard pies, stepladders and badjokes. New recruits are welcome to come to a "big-shoe Camp" (for training) at London Action Resource Centre, 60 Fieldgate street,London E11ES (Whitechapel tube) 17th and 18th November ring 07815757225 for details or email  circa@clownz.com. Bring military combat gear and gsh.

These are the best and worse times. These are rare moments in history where we wobble between hope and despair. But remember that all empires fall (often flat on their face) Ha ha ha!

Yours with rebellious giggles, chortles, chuckles, hoots, cackles ,sniggers and guffaws
