Introduction to some ideas regarding the movement. If you're new to anti-corporate ideas welcome! Read this first! (I've heard back from people saying that some links there don't work.. its not our website. We can't do anything about it. Check out the links below for more info)
We can be reached most easily at acinewsletter @ gmail.com

If you are new to the anti-corporate movement or if you're just checking it out please look at the suggested reading section to the left under "General Interests". There is a link to a short overview of the movement there. Soon we will have an overview of our own written here.
We will be updating this quite frequently so stop in every couple days to see what's new. We hope this becomes a place where people can come for resources, information, and new ideas about the anti-corporate movement. Any ideas to help this cause are welcome.
We are unhappy with the feeling many of us have just under the surface as we go through our daily lives. Working 40+ hours a week to buy a house, car, TV and other plastic crap while our world is falling apart ecologically, mentally, and politically is something that many of us cannot and will not be pushed into. We are the machine that fights the machine. Adbusters magazine (Adbusters.org) has the right idea but goes about it wrong. Glossy $8 magazines only preach to the choir. They are a great resource and by far the leading organizer for the movement but we need a new approach. This can be the suppliment to adbusters, the new front of the anti-corporate fight.
This is the start of the one that will make a difference.

Minor Notes (stuff not important enough to clog your blog announcements)
11/20
- We now have a new e-mail address (listed up above in the info on submissions box). This will be in effect until the major reorg when we move to the new website. 10/14 - Zeo's comics are now listed in the bar on the left. 10/11 - Look for the print friendly PDF version of next week's newsletter (it will still be here in html too) And at some point today we passed the 100 people subscribed to the newsletter mark. Thanks all. 9/28 - Put in submission instructions on the profile. Also Deleted several "Thanks for the add" posts and one very long poem. We love your interest, but if you have material to send us do it by e-mail, it'll then be put on the next newsletter. Thanks again for all the great submissions! 9/15 - Quick note on comments: We do delete comments that are overly distracting, musicians posting large pictures that link to their own websites (one would be fine, but when it clogs up the profile its too annoying, just send us a link and we might do a review for you!), and stuff that is wildly off topic. If its vaguely on topic we'll keep it, we don't censor based on any beliefs, we just try to make the site as readable as possible. If it isn't at all on topic don't bother, it'll just be deleted very shortly. Thanks.

As if the you tube video isnt explanation enough , let me go into detail as to why Vic the SNake is a complete tool.
Vic, admittedly a former crack addict,alchoholic, and convicted felon . Wants to run for president. Thankfully there is no danger of such an atrocity every taking place . Vic needs to understand there is more to being a patriotic American than standing in front of a huge American flag screaming support the troops. Vic you do not support the troops ! in fact you are part of the problem, just another drooling ,brainless mindless American that can't think for himself. That crack smoke has permanantly clouded your perception. I have repeatedly tried to explain the constitution to Vic. Ive explained to him that the war in Iraq was not declared and therefore illegal, Vic responds by following the example of the main stream media . He deletes comments on his myspace and you tube that dont follow his agenda. Vic the Snake had declared himself myspaces #1 E celebrity , it is my intention to give Vic The kind of attention he needs . Ive told Vic to fix the economy we need to do away with the un constitutional Federal Reserve and the IRS , but he cant hear me over the sounds of his lighter flicking furriously , as he is forever lost to his drug induced stupor!!

This reading of The Jesters (Don Marquis, Poems and Portraits, 1922) is dedicated to every man and woman who supports Dr Ron Paul, especially those who don the mask of Guy Fawkes after Alan Moore's and David Lloyd's graphic novel, V for Vendetta. I prefer Senator Mike Gravel, but Dr. Paul is a very close second (as Doodles Weaver would say, it'll either be a photo finish or an oil painting) and there is no doubt that Congressman Paul's supporters are at least as clever, and by far more numerous than Senator Mike's.
they stand in the front lines of the front lines baton against head body against lead spirit against death
some in the name of the movement some in the name of a white god and others in defense of their own names of their own languages of their own traditions of their own way
souls on fire wage war revolting against the doctrine of broken minds bodies and broken spirits legislated and enacted upon by the death eaters that live in the house of white porcelain that is fragile like paper in a child's hands
they are in fact spoiled children who cannot control their temper who cannot control their desires and perceived needs who cannot control each other so they turn to us to control us to oppress us to enslave us in their spider web of death and chaos
we had been in the garden when swords and bullets fell from the sky
our innocence stolen some of us coiled on the ground waiting an inevitable death while the rest of us hid underground thats why my people are the color of the earth because we hid and hide underground in the dirt in our mothers womb where its dark
and in moments when the skies were not falling some of us went outside again and faced pain and death to see the daylight
to see the earth or sacred mother being raped at panama being poisoned for the gold & silver that has also been raped from her womb she bears these scars just like we bear scars in battles to defend her to defend our water to defend our air to defend our earth but to defend all this and to defend ourselves comes at a price we lose our freedom our right to free speech and are subjected to body searches background checks supervision spying harassment and detention if not death http://www. myspace. com/poetasinsurgentes

In the past couple of weeks, hundreds of internet communities, and hundreds of thousands of upset people have declared war on them. If you don’t know much about Scientology, watch this video documentary about their “church”. BBC documentary (about 25 minutes all together): Part One Part Two Part Three
There is a massive worldwide protest on February 10th, and we could use your help. The one in my area is located at the Farmington Hills “Church” of Scientology. If you are from a different area (or just want to join in the discussion), please check out this webforum: Enturbulation.org
