Indigenous Resistance
"To extend the music out from the indigenous ghettos, IR has created a new model ofpartnership between indigenous people and western artists. This runs counter to the
"ROCK STAR MODE" (i.e., Sting, Paul Simon) of portraying exotic indigenous people
who are in need of rock stars to accomplish anything of importance and are
incapable of independent self-directed actions but excellent for photo ops standing
besides the liberal-leaning pop idols.
IR runs counter to trend of trying to this exotification of the indigenous in our
collaborations. IR works with indigenous people who live and fight in the jungles for their freedom, we also acknowledge and work with the thousands of indigenous
people who live in the favelas (poor areas) of Brazil's major cities like Sao
Paulo. These include indigenous computer wizards...Hackers. The image of
indigenous people being proficient with computer programming is counter to the
current exotic image of indigenous people."
IR also stands for indigenous reality, creating works that show the world of the
indigenous as they really are, not the manufactured photo ops published in the
mainstream press."

The smoking gun?
California attorney Orly Taitz, who has filed a number of lawsuits demanding proof of Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president, has released a copy of what purports to be a Kenyan certification of birth and has filed a new motion in U.S. District Court for its authentication.@ 'World News Daily'
So issued on the 17th February 1964 in The Republic of Kenya.Just one problem. Kenya was not made a Republic until December 12th 1964!
O well, back to the drawing board!

WTF?
Yesterday, the newly formed Western Caucus convened for a bicameral hearing on proposed cap-and-trade climate legislation.
The witnesses attending included representatives of a variety of polluters, right wing think tanks, and former House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX).
DICK ARMEY: What I’m suggesting is we have a sort of an eco-evangelical hysteria going on and it leads me to almost wonder if we are becoming a nation of environmental hypochondriacs that are willing to use the power of the state to impose enormous restrictions on the rights and the comforts of, and incomes of individuals who serve essentially a paranoia, a phobia, that has very little fact evidence in fact. Now these are observations that are popular to make because right now its almost taken as an article of faith that this crisis is real. Let me say I take it as an article of faith if the lord God almighty made the heavens and the Earth, and he made them to his satisfaction and it is quite pretentious of we little weaklings here on earth to think that, that we are going to destroy God’s creation. [...]
SEN. ORRIN HATCH: Mr. Armey it’s great to have you here. Great to see you again and we appreciate all you’ve done throughout the years and your work on Capitol Hill. Great job.

Russian fishermen catch squeaking alien and eat it
Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov. The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds. The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures’ head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch was weighing almost 100 kilograms, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.Enigma of the 23-year-old baby
The "cabinets of curiosity" of the 16th and 17th centuries housed the extraordinary souvenirs that European missionaries and other travellers brought back from the New World and the East. Stuffed birds with brilliantly coloured plumage sat alongside seashells larger than the human body and mummies plucked from Africa's desert sands. But, as French surgeon Pierre Dionis discovered, sometimes the marvels in your own backyard are the strangest of all. When Dionis stumbled across a leathery fetus-like object in a priest's collection, he resolved to learn the truth about it. Could it really be that this misshapen object was the product of a 23-year-long pregnancy?Full story @ 'New Scientist'
"Bring Me The Head of Ubu Roi" with Pere Ubu
Bring Me The Head Of Ubu Roi is Pere Ubu's adaptation of the proto-Absurdist stage play that gave the band its name, Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi (King Ubu). Its premiere in Paris in 1896 provoked riots in the theatre and a national scandal. A vicious and satiric re-telling of Shakespeare's Macbeth, Jarry's work lambastes do-gooder monsters and the Survival of the Unfit.Jarry's play, infamously, opened with the exclamation Merdre! - a euphemism for the French word for excrement. The closest English translation is shtrrrr. It became known as The Word.
Members of the band Pere Ubu perform all cast roles. Sarah Jane Morris is Mère Ubu. This series is a podcast of the first half of Bring Me The Head Of Ubu Roi. An album of songs called Long Live Père Ubu! will be released on September 14.
Podcasts available here.
The concert tour begins Friday, September 25, at the ICA in London.
