Counter Insurgent Recuperative Clown Activists official denouncement

Counter Insurgent Recuperative Clown Activists | 05.07.2005 02:25

Class peace not class war!
Placate the G8!
Oppose anti-capitalist resistance and direct action at all costs!

The Counter Insurgent Recuperative Clown Activists (CIRCA) hearby denounce any Edinburgh residents who choose to resist the riot police occupation of their city.

Class peace not class war!
Placate the G8!
Oppose anti-capitalist resistance and direct action at all costs!

Only activists can manage-down revolt. We must prevent working class people from liberating themselves, because then we would have no role to play.

In the absence of solidarity,

Surely i have no riot 2 outline strategys for individual clowns.

Denouncing stuf is all good and well, really haha.

Who is behind these serious nightly statements....
I taste a proffesional development worker leering for a salary here..
(we would have no role to play is suuuuuuch a lousy argument.)

Class peace not class war..what if some1 dies of hunger?
I say direct action! plunder.
What if they capter a foreigner wanting to deport?
You have to brake the lines.
(or do nothing, bcus its safer, but theoretically you have to break a line at that point)

Managing revolt can be revulting, arrogance is the weapon of the power, not of the clown.

There is a good thing about satire, but there is no solidarity in distantiating.

Absence of solidarity is a good thing..
but it should always be paired with a negative direct action...

announce workshops for the local youth eg.. teach them the inefficiency of attacking a riot police.
But swell that you have seen the glasgow people and their traditional weapon (the bagpipe) in action.
don't denounce people but denounce classes.

Im sorry its mere suggestions, and i have so little time,
But i really think this is the worst ever statement in the history of clowning against racism sekularism, base emancipation, and poverty. (beside mine perhaps, wich would be good.)

CIRCA statement number 2

The CIRCA great thinking comitee

STATES:

We are the only ones who know how to manage street conflict situations.

We have studied, we believe in the word of Gary Breckett and in the Bible of Living Theatre

We condemn every old-fashioned riot and rebellion

We refuse in advance the obvious solidarity of the Metropolitan Police with our statements

We thank the G8 if they will start laughing at the end of these protests

That's all for the moment.

Be quiet.
