Visit: http://www.realgerovital.com AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADVERTISINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AN ANONYMOUS RAVER'S MANIFIESTA Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction of choice is Technology. Our religion of choice is Music. Our currency of choice is Knowledge. Our politics of choice is None. Our society of choice is Utopian - achievable or not. You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us, because we try not to judge you. We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive. We were first drawn by the sound. From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother's heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are all equal. And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of Goddess at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join hands and uplift them by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It's in that very instant, with these initial realisations, that each of us was truly re-born. We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you've abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it's purest, most intense, most hedonistic form. In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us. We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselves from the shackles and restraints you've put on us for your own peace of mind. We seek to RE-WRITE THE PROGRAMMING with which you have tried to indoctrinate us since the moment we were born. Programming that tells us to hate, to judge, to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole. Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our minds, instead of open them. Until the rising sun burns our eyes with the dustpan reality of your created world, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our life, our culture, and our values: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect. Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end. I am a raver, and this is my manifesto. ///////////////////////YOU 218 London SUN DEC 3 Old skool jungle classics and fresh drum&bass with residents BBP, VEGA and guests. @ Upstart, 243 Old Street, EC1 FREE/ 07956 127 006 urbanjungle@concretejungle.co.uk INFO: http://www.mi5.uk.com/venues/vuTSE530.html ///////////////////////YOU 219 THE FAIR WORLD PROJECT FOR A FAIR, SAFE, PEACEFUL WORLD We must transform the economic system in which we live, so that: * People, together in a healthy global community, are in full control of their lives. * People work for the benefit of all: caring for the long-lived well being of the whole global ecology and all its inhabitants. THE FAIR WORLD ACTION PLAN 1. Convert competitive, market-based businesses into workplace co-operative partnerships, and reorganise monopoly activities as stakeholder co-operatives, with all co-operatives demonstrably operating according to the Seven International Co-operative Principles (agreed by the International Co-operative Alliance and continuously evolving!). 2. Share out the created wealth through nationally collected taxation from the co-operatives, distributed into local, democratically-controlled Community Banks and, thus, make money and credit available for responsible wealth creation and community development. 3. Provide for human needs (health, life-long education, libraries, telecommunications, transport and so on) on a free-at-the-point-of-use basis, retaining money only as a means of buying wants (rather than for getting needs. 4. Introduce guaranteed fair income for all, within upper and lower brackets, thus doing away with personal taxation (income tax, sales taxes etc) and intra-national exploitation. 5. Abolish money lending and credit-creation for profit by operating banking as a community-controlled public service. 7. Reintroduce international exchange controls as necessary. 8. Make capital grants (not loans) to developing countries: an end to inter-national exploitation.
