Thanks to OlyBlogger DC for sending me the link to this incredible example of an artist's ingenuity. There are a number of other issues this video brings up as well for me, but I'll just let it speak for itself:

IAC , 30.09.2007 03:26Communique International Anarchist Conspiracy Communiqu # 6 (Regarding The Manifold Ways In Which ICE Can Be Fought) Countless nights have been spent gazing into the Seeing Stones. Many things have been seen inside those murky depths. Everything in there is Black. The future holds much darkness for everyone. We see it spreading already, outside our very doors; the barbed wire fences stretching for miles, the animals in the desert prowling at night for someone to kill, the camps nestled in our backyards, the camps where people hold tightly onto their friends as they slowly die, the camps holding mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers away from each other. The largest branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE agents have walked through malls, guns in their hands, and searched for people who looked "illegal". ICE agents have pulled mothers away from their crying children. ICE agents truly believe that the people they detain have no human rights. Because of this someone just died in a detention facility. They died because they did not get their medication. They died in a cage, surrounded by a powerful apparatus that did not view them as human. Many people simply do not know of ICE's existence. The raids and the terror do not directly affect them. Some people ignore what ICE is doing. Some people are forced into ignorance by the system's control of information. Regardless of all that, the raids continue with ICE growing all the more brazen in its efforts. The question is: How do we wake people up? How do we spread knowledge of what is transpiring all around us? The first problem is that no one is hearing about ICE's activities. The second problem is that when people finally do hear about a raid it is from the government's media and paints ICE as an entity that still has a few kinks to work out. The third problem is that when people hear about a raid from someone they are close with they usually have no idea what they could actually do about it.

As expected, The Manhattan Transfer was tremendous. I couldn't use a flash and my shutter speed was too slow, so pictures are blurred. A picture wouldn't have justified that fine, fine sound, anyway. It's not a long trip to Lucky Dog Casino and, all in all, we had a great time. The room echoes a bit, but filling it with bodies will help that situation. The locals welcomed us warmly with lots of nice compliments. Management has said we'll be returning.
