To free sound waves along the 89th Parallel. To further the cause of local art and music into the commercial zone and the underground of the Sangamon Valley. To expose the warriors to other paradigms and new knowledge. To boldly reveal the treasure that lies between the lines, between your ears, and in your own dimension.
THE MUSIC
The Black Ops Agency is currently conducting ops in a tactical and trance-inducing way, utilizing guitar soloing and sound exploration along a deeply manic rhythm to take wild turns, fake stops, and long detours into musical expression.
The Black Ops music Project began covert operations a little over seven years ago, operating behind the scenes to establish an open field for local operatives dedicated to enhancement of intelligence, creativity, exposure, and general freeing of that ass in the Springfield IL area.
To that end, Agents X and 9 took their alliance within the umbrella of the organization known as the Springfield Concert Web and made a call to similar agents, working either independently or within other local affiliations, who shared their dreams of coalition-building among the local music scene. Agent X received orders to complete a top secret mission with the Disaster Radio Network and the band recently finished with their new recording at True Tone Studios, Kyle Kerouac, engineer. The recording can be heard above, "Beautiful Helmet."
The mission continues, with gigs planned at Capitol City Bar & Grill as well as new all ages shows planned at places such as Breadstretchers, Chrome, and as always at Black Sheep Cafe. We commandeer the parallel to achieve transmission of the will of the Light, from influencing each other and fostering growth to the realization of the Great Dream of the Order: that all bands would play together on the same stage at the same time.

I have painted a portrait of Ron Paul and am donating 20% of the after-cost profit to the campaign. I have a giclee of the painting on eBay right now here:
Associates from IPPAC will be on hand to answer questions and outline action to get candidates that strive to preserve liberty, justice, and freedom and oppose legislation granting excessive power to government.
Since our first-ever campaign is in support of the only GOP Presidential Candidate worthy of an endorsement from the Illinois Patriots - Congressmen Ron Paul , January 10th can also be a time for you to meet Greg Bishop and Philip Christophanelli, both active candidates to be delegates for Ron Paul.
If you cannot attend the Illinois Patriots Pizza Party at the Pizza Machine in Springfield Illinois, you can always donate $1, $5, or even $10 dollars to the Illinois Patriots Political Action Committee.
Donations gathered druing the Illinois Patriots Pizza Party will be used directly in support of the Ron Paul Campaign. The goad is to raise money to place ads in the central Illinois media Market before the Illinois Primary.
