Artistic elite is a misnomer. We claim unity with the American
Midwest where we were born and raised. We support the secession of the
Midwest from the faltering carcass of the American way. We feel that the
Midwest should sign its own treaties and create its own alliances. We
support liberation for Quebec! We don't believe in the balance of terror
hypothesis and wish to be counted out of all future nuclear war. We
believe in the sanity and stability of the Midwest and refute those of
either coast who see the heartland as oppressive, backward, uncultured (we
are redneck, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥), etc. This is propaganda created by the
intellectual power elite of the East in their cynical and ruthless attempt
to keep the chains on middle america. We reject their oppressive theses,
hypotheses and hypertheses. We claim solidarity with the so-called "Third"
World as an exploited people! The Third World itself, also a misnomer. The
Third World was such a nomer (spanish: 'Nombre') invented by scammers to
try to sell more worlds, we recognize there is but one world. "The Third World" in
this document here on shall refer to those developed or underdeveloped nations
which may or may not have experienced more or less oppression presently, or
historically. As one of the richest Third-World nations we vow to beat our Winnebago
in plowshares in order to do our part in the growing "Third" World alliance.
We call for the cessation of the telecommunications monopoly and destruction
of all over the air methods of propagandizing. No more Lucy. No more Beaver.
No more corporate propagandizing for the consumerist ethic. Free TV! A new
localized media system will be created. No more sensationalist news coverage.
Constant and open exchange of ideas and a refutation of present mass-subscribed
theories of the free exchange ideas. No more enslavement to the Marlboro cowboy!
No more enslavement to the false illusion of American individuality. Real Social
individuality, not hype! No more Charlie's Angels! No more Jersey Shore, or Steve
Wilkos! No More aliens, Netflix, Hulu, Disney, HBO+ or any of that stuff! No more
escapism that isn't a real escape! This is a call for the Midwest peoples to
be concerned with their own lives, not the lives the West thinks we have and
the East demands we have. This is a call for solidarity of all Midwestern peoples
so that we can refute the ideas of the East, to call a halt to the convenient
image of the Midwest as a passive land filled with bumpkins and hayseeds.
Of easily led puppets, of a land easily dominated by the ideas and wills of our
English speaking cousins. We're not your puppets anymore! We need to restructure
our Eastern dominated universities, community college, and YMCA centers!
Solidarity with the Canadian Midlands!
Solidarity with the Kosovo! An end to the industrial monopoly of the
world's resources. An end to the blight of consumerism. An end to the
present sectioning of the world and unity with all oppressed peoples!
