ATI/PAP declares state of emergency.

  Activist Times, Incorporated urges all US citizens who consider themselves
dynamic to consider taking an extreme leftist stance to offset this recent
emergency.
  "This is a temprorary attack," says Prime Anarchist. "After this you can go
back to being middle of the road, or moderate right. But you have to see the
graveness of this CIA shit or youre a real dweeb."
  Anarchist says he's a registered republican but sees the need to put a
democrat in office for at least 4 years.
  "If nothing else," says anarchist, "vote on the judicial issue. I hate
Dukakis, but we need him next month!!!"

  Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling, a comedian and radio personality from East
Norwich, New York, has been a pro entertainer since age 14. He started playing
guitar in a rock and roll band before the coming of the Beatles, played all
thru his schooling at Michigan State University (mechanical engineer '71), and
continued in a Long Island-based comedy/original music trio the now infamous
Off Hour Rockers.
  Jackie made the switch to stand-up in '79 and started "Use Your Finger!!
922-WINE!!" the world's only x-rated joke line (516)922-9463, which is still in
operation and gets thousands of calls a day from all over the world.  With the
help of his laugh line, Jackie has been producing and promoting comedy shows
since the recent boom was in its infancy.
  Jackie became "The Joke Man" when his joke line was picked up by Rick Dees
from KIIS-FM in Los Angeles for his daily morning show. "Jackie The Joke Man"
is now a regular feature on Rick's nationally syndicated radio show.
  Jackie is best known in the NY Metro area as a member of FM radio's The
Howard Stern Show, heard daily from 6-10 AM on 92.3 K-Rock.
  He's playing at Governor's Comedy Shop in Long Island this week, and anyone
who might make it should call 516-731-3358 for more info.

In the 5/24/88 issue of USA Today, the editorial page was devoted to discussion
of the FBI's recent practice of demanding records from the Public Library so as
to determine who is borrowing what books.

They are doing this under the guise of detecting and discovering Russian spy's
in the United States.  I guess we all expect the FBI to do something this dumb
and to infringe on our freedoms to this degree.  The really surprising part of
all this is that USA Today surveyed seven (7) people and of those seven, 4 said
they didn't care if the FBI inquired about what books they checked out from the
Library and only 3 said they objected to the practice.  The standard reason for
approval revolved around the premise that you shouldn't have to worry if you
weren't doing anything wrong or subversive; and only people with a guilty
conscience would object.  Can you believe that?  The FBI is going beyond their
authority.  Our freedom is again dimished.

A NAZI AMERICA???
  The old lady across the street from me said she thinks America is looking
more and more like nazi Germany every day.
  The lady lived and worked in nazi Germany as a born citizen, just like you
and I would work here in New York or New Jersey.
  She says she watched the whole nazi experience grow right from its early
inception on up thru the actual killing of humans.
  What things can she see as early signs?
1) extreme nationalism
2) symbol worship (flag)
3) overt racism.
4) covert leaders (bush/cia?)
5) material fear (aids?)
6) witch-hunting hysteria (drugs?)

  The condom in this issue has been
electronically stored on page 3. You'll
find the rim a little thin. That was
Carter-Trojan's idea to make it easier
to
pack. Fear not. It's just as safe.
  Even if you didn't plan on having
sex, go out there and make use of this
rubber.
  Don't let a good thing go to waste.
  The instructions, on how to use one
(as well as how to have sex in general)
are in plain black bold block letter,
so even your 7 year old sister can read
the words "erect penis" and "coming",
as well as "penetration" and "semen".
  If she asks questions or takes an
interest, why not show her how it's
used.
"The top of the condom (RIM) should be
held firmly when withdrawing to avoid
spilling the semen".
  We sent these condoms out so you'd
all perform safe sex; but mostly so
you'd
perform sex.
  How else would my dad sell HIS
magazines. We didnt write the book of
Love;
but here's to say "we want you to play
by the rules".

       IS THE POPE CATHOLIC!?!

     A Board-Game Review

  Not just an oft-heard rhetorical
question but the name of a historical
and
hilarious new board game. Full of fun
and humor. Rich with nostalgia. A great
way to resurrect fond memories. 
Players journey around the rosary bead
board
and climb the rungs of the Church
heirarchical ladder... all in a quest
to
become Pope and winner. A delightful
gift for friends who share a Catholic
heritage or who adore trivia or both.
Easy to learn, two to six can play.
  I havent played it yet, it looks
boring.

(PHUD)A GTE card is not the same as
FON by US Sprint, although you are
dealing
with the same company.
  It's 14 digits but it's an actual
billng # as opposed to a calling card.
Much like a 10 digit marine band
billing #.
  I called my valid FON card a GTE and
read it off to the Sprint operator, and
flip out!!! She told me it wasnt a
valid GTE #. Then I told her it was
FON and
she said "now you tell me". Plugged it
in, and voila, connected call.

  Pepper and Ragtag met on Compuserve
November 1987. 3 months later, after
many
calls back and forth between New
Jersey and Connecticut, they decided
to meet
in person.
  They dated on weekends and holidays
and once in a while. September 2, 1988
they announced their engagement.
  They're getting married this winter.
  How precious.

(PHUD)-I almost got the backdoor # to
the 1800 chat system!!!
  Almost.
  "Hello?" I asked.
  "I must have the wrong #".
  "What # did you dial," I asked. He
probably hit a 7digit local or an
extention, I thought,the rest would be
easy. 'what city is that?' what
building
are you in?' etc. etc.
  "No, I got the wrong #" he said and
hung up, as I was asking a second time.
Bummer. Oh well.

PHUN IN RICH RURAL TOWNS (Con't)
(APWN)FLORIDA--Bark at the neighbor's
dog in
the middle of the night. Get him all
riled up. Maybe other dogs'll get
involved.
  Do it a couple nights and you're
sure to piss someone off.
  Tie high pound fishing line across a
street at grill level to harass
automobiles.
  The line usually breaks and
scratches the paint. Sometimes goes
unnoticed.
Variation: secure it extremely well on
one side. Fence, door handle, etc.
  Use a jug filled with sand, or a
glass jar, or something around 5-6 lbs
on
the other. Stretch it across and next
car'll get it dragged across the side
of
his car. Experiment on height at
attached end. You might be able to get
the
windshield.  Halloween special:
replace a neighbor's pumpkin for the
glass jug.
Bag of dog manure?  PRANKING
EFFECTIVELY-If you think someone has
called the
police or fone co, and put a trap on
their line, you can use a divertor to
get
around having your # show up on their
tape.  Here's a few other tricks.
  Call someone at random pretending
you're a local radio DJ and they'll win
some prize if they call you back at
tra-pnum.
  Some hotels will give a wakeup call
to people who work for a friendly
business. Good ideas are defense
contractors, restaurants, carpenters. 
You're
so-and-so of whatchamacallit co.  and
you'd like a wakeup call at tra- pnum.
  Boy Scouts like to gather newspapers
and recycle them for the community.
You're so and so and you'd like Joe
Eaglehopful to come pickup 30 years
worth
of newsprint. She'll flip when a step
van shows up. Maybe an 18-wheel rig.
  Put an ad in the newspaper for
"rent- a-teen". Costs about $8 here.
(less if
you word it right).
  tra-pnum will get scores of calls
for Betsy to come rake leaves, or
shovel
snow.
  Order pizza, giving tra-pnum as the
home fone, using an address that CANT
be
found.
  "Dominoes. Where do you live, sir?

foiled attempts so far by columbian
drug dealers, but Ed Koch simply
refuses to
keep a low profile despite the close
calls.

kisser", said Shirley Temple, Teenage
lover in one of Reagan's B-movies.
  Now if we can ONLY get the real name
of the teenager in George Bush's real
life!!!
  Well, that's about as much as we can
pack into one little issue of ATI.
ATI22 should be out really soon. We
promise.

     CLASS CALLING: A GOOD FEATURE OR
NOT. Getting Around Fascist Checksums
     by Happy Hacker (412)


     New Jersey Bell has announced that
they will make their Class Calling 
Services available in selected areas of
New Jersey on November 1st, and expect
to offer it statewide by late next
year.  State regulators in New Jersey
approved this group of services on 
October 12, 1988 in a 2-to-1 vote.
     Class Calling services include the
following: Call Block, in which 
customers can block out calls from 
certain numbers they do not wish to 
receive calls from, Priority Call, in 
which customers can have calls coming
from certain numbers they specify be 
announced by a special ring, Repeat 
Call, which allows continuous redialing
of the last number dialed, Select 
Forward, which transfers calls from up
to 6 specified numbers to another 
telephone number, Return Call, which 
allows a person to automatically call
back the last telephone number that 
called it, Call Trace, where customers
can automatically trace the last call
completed to their telephones by 
dialing a three-digit code, and 
Caller ID, where the originating number
of all incoming calls is displayed on
an LED device attached to the tele-
phone (The LED device must be purchased
separately for $70-80).
     Class Calling features are affect-
ed by intralata calls only.  Calls
originating from outside NJ or calls
crossing the 201/609 area will not
be affected by Class Calling features.
Also, Class Calling is currently
only available in Hudson County and 
Atlantic City.  Currently, only calls
originatiing and terminating in these 
areas are able to utilize Class Calling
features.  Once the service is avail-
able statewide, however, all intralata
calls will be subject to Class.  And
although it's obvious that Crossbar
and Step-by-step switched areas cannot
utilize Class Calling, the number
of areas served by these switches in
New Jersey is extremely small.
     Sounds great, doesn't it? Marvell-
ing at these wonders of technology?
Don't applaud it too quickly.  All
telephone users should become 
concerned with these services, as they
are an invasion of caller's privacy.
     Also, the Call Trace feature
arises another concern mentioned by 
many telecom enthusiasts, including
2600 Magazine: It seems that many 
services that were done free of charge
by telephone companies are developing
charges.  The Call Trace feature is
perhaps a herald of days to come where
people harrassed by annoyance calls
must PAY to have their harrassers
caught.  The Call Trace feature permits
persons to trace calls, but at the cost
of $1 per each traceable call (The call
must be an intralata (non-long dis-
tance) call).  The results of each
traceable call are released to the 
autorities at a customer's request.
However, even when a call is deemed
"traceable" by NJ Bell and the customer
is billed $1 for the trace, the call
may not be indeed traceable, as was in
the case of a New Jersey man who paid   the sum of $42 for call traces, only
to find out by the police department
that only approximately 5 of them
were "traceable".  
     However, worse yet are the impli-
cations of the Caller ID service, which
is what bulk of this article will
discuss.  New Jersy Board of Public 
Utilities president Christine Todd 
Whitman voted against approving the 
Class Calling services, pointing outut  several problems she had with the 
Caller ID service, in an article in
The Star Ledger, a NJ-based newspaper.
     Since the Caller ID service causes
telephone users to unknowingly transmit
their telephone numbers by simply 
placing a call, this can cause serious
problems for may people.  Whitman 
pointed out that many people make 
job/work-related calls from home and
would not like their home numbers 
disclosed to parties they call. 
Doctors, social workers and other 
professionals often make these types of
calls.  Whitman also pointed out that   people who need help may be discouraged
from calling anonymous helplines out
of fear of their telephone numbers
being identified.  And let's take that
thought a step further: Persons who 
might wish to anonymously give infor-
mation to local authorities might
be discouraged to do so, fearing they
might be indentified through disclosal
of their telephone numbers.
     NJ Bell points out that one of 
the benefits of Caller ID is that it
will discourage telephone "abusers", 
i.e., people who place prank calls.
However, they fail to realize that it
will create a sort of anarchy, in which
people will confront callers who they
feel are "pranking" them by calling 
them back.  This can cause a simple
hangup call to escalate into a far 
worse situation. 
     One example of such an escalation
can be seen in a real-life occurrence
described to this author.  A girl
placing a local call dialed an 
incorrect number. Realizing she had 
dialed a wrong number, she hung up the
phone shortly after the called party
had picked up the phone.  After hanging
up the phone, she looked for the 
correct number to call.  Suddenly, her
phone rang. 

  "Hello?", answered the girl.
   "Don't EVER do that again", spoke
 a threatening voice into the phone.

Yes, that DID happen.  And, the girl
realized, after being frightened by the
phone call, that she had indeed mis-
takenly dialed the number of an
acquaintence who susbscribed to Caller
ID.  
     Caller ID will undoubtedly create
many more uncomfortable situations
like the one described above.  And,
a strange sort of telephone "anarchy"
will result, as NJ Bell refuses to
step into any sort of phone harrassment
situation once the Caller ID subsciber
has confronted a person he feels is
placing harassing calls to him.
     Besides the obvious gross 
violations of privacy to all citizens,
BBS callers are especially adversely
affected by Caller ID.  Think of the
result if BBS sysops begin to subscribe
to Caller ID to identify incoming
calls to their BBSs.  Many BBS callers
enjoy bulletin boards due to the 
anonymity associated with calling them.
They expect privacy.  Many BBS callers,
for one reason or another do not wish
to disclose their identity of phone
number to other BBS users, even sysops.
Caller ID can be used against these 
people to identify them against their
wishes.  Also, BBS sysops subscribing
to Caller ID can instantly check the
validity of personal information left
by a new user on his system.  If a BBS
sysop catches a user leaving false
personal information, he can relay
this information to other area sysops.
The result is that the BBS user who
just wishes for a little privacy can
find himself blacklisted from many
bulletin boards.                             Caller ID will can also seriously
affect the activites of telecom 
enthusiasts and casual hackers as well.
Small, local computer systems with 
little security may subscribe to Caller
ID to combat hackers from entering
their systems.   Long distance services
such as MCI, and packet switched 
networks such as Telenet and Tymnet
may subscribe to Caller ID to identify
all incoming calls to their systems.
Consider the implications!
     So, sounds pretty bad, eh?  So,
you don't want your calls selectively
forwarded, announced by special rings,
blocked out, returned, or otherwise
traced?  There are ways around Class
features!  One way is to use an 
alternate carrier while placing a call.
Alternate carriers are often used
to place intralata toll calls for 
economical reasons.  But, the easiest
way to combat Class features is to 
simply add a "1" plus the area code 
you are calling while placing intralata
calls.  For example, if you are in
the 201 NPA, and you are calling the 
number 656-9999, simply dial 
1-201-656-9999.  By dialing your call
in this fashion, it will override all
Class Calling features, including
Caller ID and Call Trace.  Or, simply
plug into your neighbor's line with
some alligator clips while placing
calls that you do not wish to be traced
to you.  The more people that are 
aware of these methods, the more
privacy the public will remain to have.
Go to it, friends...

A new class of person has been found
lurking the streets of New York.
  The NOPIE. NOPIES are people that
have vowed a personal NO to drug use
but
firmly believe that no one has the
right to tell others whether they
should do
something to their bodies or not.
  NOPIES replace the yuppie for the
following reasons.  1) yuppie was the
me
generation.
   NOPIE represents the nobody
generation. In fact, they are even
appointing
Nobody as an alternative candidate to
the ones currently runnin.  2) yuppies
are extremely wealthy and seldom give
to causes.
   NOPIES are sometimes seen being
busted for picking up stoned hitch-
hikers
and consequently thrown in jail
overnight as an accomplis. When given
the
chance between jail/fines/donations
NOPIES oftentimes give money to NORML.
 3)
yuppies usually have high tech jobs
like pissmonitor, or pissinspector.
   NOPIES are usually cited with
putting battery acid in the samples, or
selling their clean specimens to
friends.
   All in all the NOPIE will be seen
as a prominent force in the future of
Amerikan activism. While status quo
people and Party Liners "just say no",
you'll hear an occasional "nope", come
out of a smirky looking face. That's a
NOPIE

NOTES FROM THE TOAD. A New Haven
Yippie Convention.
  ATI recently attended a Vicious
Hippies/Wavy Gravy concert.
  It was phenomenal.
  Wavy Gravy started us off with his
"Gong Bong". It involved sitting indian
style in a circle holding hands.  We
were to breath in slowly and deeply
thru
our noses til we couldnt take any more
in, then you let it out hissing thru
your teeth. 14 times is an official
GongBong, according to Hugh Romney, aka
Wavy Gravy. He suggested we start out
with just 7 since we're east coast, and
cant relate to peace and harmony quite
yet.
  The Yale dweebs got offended and
demanded a chance at 14, so we did
fourteen.
Success. On the 14th "hit" you scream
out whatever comes out your lungs, and
the band (Vicious Hippies) takes the
noise in and resubmits it as raucous
rock-n-roll.
  And rock, they did.
  There was a pinjuggler off in the
corner, and an old guy up front doing
the
swim to an Elvis tune. He did assorted
other archaic dances to amuse the young
crowd. Wavy Gravy was out on the dance
floor waving a wammo bubble blower full
of soap bubbles having a grand old
time.
  I'd say the most unique part of
their sound would be from the
percussionist
with his exotic instruments, and the
keyboardist with his unmistakable
Hammond
organ mixed in with assorted synths.
  After about six songs of grateful
dead type all out uninhibited dancing,
we
took a quick break for drinks or
whatever, and out came Wavy Gravy. He
brought
out two chairs. One to sit in, and the
other to hold his makeup kit.  More
than
a musician, more than an activist,
more than a standup comedian, wavy
gravy is
a clown.
  "Clowns are safe," says Gravy. "Can
you say that?" he asks the audience.
"Clowns are safe". He began putting on
his makeup while telling us about times
he took advantage of the fact that
cops WILL NOT HARM A CLOWN ON NATIONAL
TV.
  A peace activist in the 60's, 70's,
80's and 90's, gravy is these days
trying
to stop a logging company in Norton,
VT from doing their dirty work.  They
apparently got permission to do
logging on thousands of acres that
Gravy and
"the people" legally purchased back in
the 60's. The head logger is John
Belued, and for more information on
how YOU CAN HELP STOP THIS LOGGING
SHIT,
call Laura at 802-754-6695.
  He helped us dance to the Vicious
Hippies, and he helped sing to some of
their (his as well) songs. The least
we can do is get him the people's land
back, eh?
  He ended the show singing a few
songs from his album with the help of
the
Hippies, and his helpers sold Tshirts,
albums, and bumperstickers off in the
hall. All in all, it was a good show.
  "Hey, how's this for the tourist
problem?" said Radio Bob Fass. "Wavy
Gravy
gets dressed up real straight and buys
a ticket to go on one of the tours We
all get dressed up as cowboys and hold
up the bus when it turns the corner
into
Second Avenue. We board it, pull Wavy
off and hang him from the lamp post.
Well, not really. We rig up one of
those harnesses under his jacket just
like
they do in the movies."

"Quayle isn't qualified to lead the
nation. How hard Mr. Bush must swallow
when
he talks about the senator's
abilities!" --New London Day newspaper

Comes the time Prime Anarchist must
endorse the Duke. Michael Dukakis is
the
better of the two.
  Heck, he's not even the lesser of
two evils. Some of the democrat
platforms I
dont agree with, but a little
lobbying, and assorted other activism
can help
offset any of his ideas. Plus, he's
gonna have some damned good advisors up
there.
  Frankly, Bush scares me. There's
nothing worse than having a KGB member
leading the nation. Except the KGB's
former leader!!!
  There's simply no excuse for secret
leadership of the Central Intelegence
(I
refuse to spell this word correctly in
that context) Agency. We have a
definite
conspiracy here. I heard Raygun the
other morning saying he truly wants to
repeal the 22nd Ammendment. "Not for
myself anymore, but for George. I think
when you're on a roll, you should have
a chance to rule 3 or more terms. Not
just two".
  I have a feeling the incredibly rich
executive leader is gonna do some
serious lobbying in his spare time
next January. Scared? You betcha.
  Read Dukakis' platform entirely. If
there's more than 3 things you dont go
for, then by all means, vote Bush. Or
go Libertarian. But please, if at all
possible, let's have a democrat the
next 4 years to offset these TERRIBLE
injustices we've suffered, the last 7.
  I say, Dukakis is our only path this
January.

Wail, that's it for 22!!! Can you
believe it? It was a short one, but
chock
full of great energy. Remember, you
can get back issues real chepe to
spread
out at Grateful Dead shows, Moodie
Blues concerts, etc. Heck, why not
stand out
in front of the post office alongside
your WRL friends and pass em out.

  They'll feel supported. hehehehe.

  ATI Gets         .reprinted from
 Sentimental        ATi issue one.

MEGALOMODEMANIA   by Prime Anarchist

This is ATI's first hardcopy issue.
  ATI was born on an Atari personal
computer February 9th when I returned
from
a New Jersey-Albany-NYC- Providence
stint which was a direct result of the
Rutgers Convention.
  Other issues will come out as
needed. (you'll probably see us at a
few Dead
shows, Terence D'Arby concerts, and
maybe a Celtics game here and there)
  But for the most part, you can only
get ATI online, using your modem at
Infomaniack BBS. (401)596-8338
  If you feel you MUST DEMAND a
printout of the latest activity
online, send a
SASE (a couple extra stamps inside
might be nice too) to:  ATI C/O Kelley
BRO
Box 94 Groton, Ct 06340 USA
  After interacting with so many
hundreds of freethinking fellow
humanoids I
decided it's my obligation to use
everything I do in life to positive
ends.
  Which means my guitar, my personal
computer, and my journalism skills had
to
be sold back to Free America. No more
National Party Line letters to the
editors, groovy love songs, or
compuserve sex chats. It's time to
live an
active life. With trouble brewing in
every single speck of our Earth, these
are
the times for activism.
  It is time for ATI.

TO THE EDITORS:
  Why is Manuel Noriega trading drugs
to Bush for guns?
  JS (512)

(APWN) New Haven, CT--COVERUP, the
movie was spotted for a week at a New
Haven
movie theater, so it's apparent that
the writers were successful in getting
it
to show B-4 the elections. (a
necessary event)
  But don't plan on seeing it at EVERY
theater. They're gonna smite it as much
as they can.
  Send all reports of where it's
playing (a review if you want too,
maybe even
viewer response if you've got a good
eye) to the BRO box.

    Not much has been written about
watchdogs. I've seen a lot about house
pets, but not about guardian friends
...well here is some information I
believe
no one should do without...
  Just getting a pitbull or a doberman
is not enough. Believe me, I know. You
dont want a dog that's gonna run away
when a robber calls, or bark needlessly
waking the neighbors and getting
himself shot.
  The perfect dog is quiet, loyal, and
strong. I've scared the hell out of
many
a pitbull, and an aweful lot of
dobermans, and on the otherhand, there
are some
neighborhood miniature Schnausers I
would NEVER mess with.
  The most important things you want
your dog to be capable of are,
catching,
and alerting, and waiting. S/he should
have that feline characteristic of
stalking. Nice and quiet, she snoops
up, and catches the threat to your
privacy.
  S/he should have a nice vicious bark
that's reserved for emergency. You
should know by your dog's tone that
something's up so you can come right
over.
  Your dog should then have the
patience of a student activist.
  He or she should be able to wait at
the enemy's feet, gnawing on his
anklebone, taking lots of abuse til
you get there armed with a
gun/fone/plastique (whichever the
situation necessitates).
  Two ways to check your potential dog
follow: Run straight after him. Many a
doberman will run away if he feels
threatened. While a smart move on the
street; this is not wise when
defending land. If s/he takes 2 or 3
steps back,
and digs in, that's your animal.
  Bark. If the dog starts going nuts,
barking, and shouting, and wailing,
s/he's not your pet. You want a quiet
dog. His/her first reaction should be
stepping up alertness. The ears perk
up, the eyes start focusing, the back
hunches up. The best dog will be
sizing up the situation like a Navy
Seal.
  If the dog reacts right to these two
tests, go for it. You'll find your
abode
in good hands.
  Bye, for now. Catch you on the flip
side.  :by the 8th defendant:

***MAN EATEN BY LARGE CANOE*** (Con't)
(APWN)Quinektekut--This is a
continuation from ATI 15, and 16.
  That black and the Tan One and the
one who is light from the far east will
teach you to let go of your hatred.
  I cannot teach that. I cannot even
learn it. All I can do is hold hatred
deep
inside my hollow.
  Inside-- where my stomach pits and
aches. I hold it in and near my scalp
there is an emotional brim where I can
release it-- drop by insignificant
drop.
  Her Lady pretended to be the one who
will learn me to let go of my hate.
  "Don't touch," she said. "Not the
time; soon."
  I wait for forever to finally come.
  Forever.
  We bid our dark friends "til next we
gather".
  The witches in the sound by the race
navigate us from the south; our left
side. The westerly gods of wind push
us back to the moutn of the thames.
  You tell me: I had my laugh; it's my
turn to paddle. I smile, as I walk
lowly
to the back of our aguatree.
  I kneel and slice the wet ground
with your dad's sanded and whittled
two-
by-four. You Swedish carpenters are
all so pretty and finished. But the
form
overrides the function and I slow to
start us up the bleeding Thames-- put
my
biceps and forearms and lower back
into the act getting us almost to the
plank
that crosses over to the New
Settlement. You lift the plank 3
inches, we float
under. This is the Thames, remember.
  This is my vessel. I built her out
of a sap. Carved her out myself,
torched
her up and waited for the Arsongods to
finish.
  From the front you see, I have
shaped her like My Lady... Tracy in
all her
frontal glory.
  From the back you will see the horse
you rode in on. Little or no
resistance,
a tail to slice and keep us forward.
  She's our '87 beast. And she gets us
from A point to B point. I turn her
over
and cover her with the quinektekut
tobacco leaves. They are my padlock.
  I am a Pequot. I have hatred, but no
mistrust. Night falls, "later", you
tell
me.
  You return.

music  /  Salt 'N Pepa Live on Club MTV

  Not bad. These two girls are hot. 
They bring their dj along too. I
forgot to
jot down her name. They dance really
good, but the strong thing about them
is
their lyrics.  Totally new and fresh.
Nice to see musicians being original.
I'm
sick of seeing blatant copies of
Beatles, Zeppelin, Jackson 5, etc.
  Salt 'N Pepa is a breath of fresh air

...J K Galbraith ON VOTING...
  "It is still extremely important
that we have the democratic commitment
that
causes people to say: 'While I'm not
important, I share an obligation with
all
other people to be collectively
important'. This is part of the social
obligation of the citizen."

  Although ATI is endorsing Michael
Dukakis, that doesnt mean we are
pushing
him down your throat. Go for a local
libertarian here or there if you have
any
running for senate, or house, grab a
conservative here and there where your
community needs it most. Say yes to
some new liberals, or say no to some
issues
around town. Basically what we're
saying, is:
  Please vote.

Dukakis stands with workers. Secure
Jobs, Fair trade and plant closing
nitification, continued health
coverage greater investment, renewed
commitment,
worker protections, stronger job
safety, low cost housing, family needs
package.
  Plus he picked a much better VP than
Bush by far.

YOUNG DETAINEES IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A First-Hand Account.
       by Solomzi Davashe

(APWN)--There is an incident that
occured on my way to the Northern
Transvaal,
prior to the funeral of our leader,
Peter Nchabaleng. I was arrested at a
road
block, dragged out roughly by a
contingent of the Lebowa police with
their SADF
masters. They saw my UDF t-shirt. I
was trampled down for a long time, my
spectacles got broken, my wrist watch
as well. I was later taken to the tent
where you find the SADF. From the road
block I was driven over bumps in a
remote place, while in the back of the
van. It was nice for the servants of
terror, as they were laughing at me as
I was going up and down and from side
to
side, there in the back...
  This is my experience at the age of
20. It is also the experience of my
generation-- a generation that has
known nothing but torture and
suffering.

(APWN)GROTON, Ct--Cygnus, that weirness character from the comicstrip, Life,
has declared himself the Son of Man,and started his own religion. "Praise
Cyg," they say. "From whom all fluids flow" "Praise him all weirdness cheese
from toes, "Praise Cyg above his mischievous throne,"Praise Cyg when he tries
to play trombone." He has claimed it is not funny. He says he is totally
serious. He promises not to make us drink grape coolaid. When asked for
assurance that the grape coolade trick would not be played, he was heard
saying, "I much prefer cherry."

SOVIET HAPPENINGS (APWN)Moscow/Georgia-
-Although the official religion of Soviet Union is atheism, there are a
couple religions flourishing. Orthodox Christianity, and Judaism are quite
strong in Russia and Georgia.
  Most Jews in the Soviet Union have asked for permission to leave. Only a
handful are granted that each year. Upon confession of Christian faith,
a Soviet citizen is required to sign a paper saying, 1) I am Christian 2) I
vow poverty 3) I kick myself out of the party. He will then never get a
promotion at work, the state treats him like garbage, and his peers for the
most part ignore him.
  Despite this, organized religion is quite strong in the soviet union. They
arent making strong statements about abortion, and things like that, but
their main issue in the 1980's has been world peace. They constantly nag at the
Soviet government to go further on human rights. It will be interesting to
see what becomes of the Church when Gorbachev is ousted. Will the church-
bashing be as violent and hatefilled as during Kruschev?  Time will only tell.
1988 was the thousand year anniversity of the Church in Russia, and Gorbachev
had no choice but to allow them to dance in the streets.
   Things are really brewing there. We'll see.

(APWN)LONG ISLAND--Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling, a comedian and radio
personality from East Norwich, New York, has been a professional entertainer
since the age of fourteen. He started playing guitar in a rock and roll band
before the coming of the Beatles, played all thru his schooling at
Michigan State University (Mech. Engineer '71) and continued in a Long
Island-based comedy/original music trio, the now-infamous OffHour Rockers.
  Jackie made the switch to standup in 1979, and started "Use your Finger!! 516
922-wine!!" the worlds only x-rated joke line (516-922-9463), which is
still in operation and gets thousands of calls a day from all over the world.
with the help of his laughline, Jackie has been producing and promoting comedy
shows since the recent boom was in its infancy. Jackie became "The Joke Man"
when his jokeline was picked up by Rick Dees from KIIS-FM in LA for his daily
morning show. "Jackie the Joke Man" is now a regular feature on "Weekly Top 40
Countdown", heard coast to coast in all major markets. Jackie and his
production partner Nancy Sirianni are at work around the clock expanding
their catalogue of videos, albums, cassettes, books, joke cards, t-shirts,
sweatshirts, mugs, and many more hilarious products. Jackie insists that his
family is middle class on a good day, lives on the beautiful North Shore
of Long Island, is incredibly intimidated by just about everything, and sees
more biographies in his future.

THINGS ARE BAD ALL OVER

(APWN)Warwick,RI--"Leon was here," says a piece of graffiti on the stall
door of the bathroom of the local IHOP.  IHOP is the only place within 30
feet that's open 24 hours, and the pricesure reflects it. It gets a fierce bar
rush. There's more vomit and assorted other cookie chunks out and around the
toilet than all the queasybags in a 737 on a tuesday afternoon.
  The sink is overflowing, and the mirror is in about 4 different sections from
a 2am fight pitting a teenage crack dealer against a very pissed off vialbuyer
who didnt like the amount of sugar and flour cut into his cocaine. The floor
is filling-in tonite as assistant garbagebucket for the receptical that took
a walk out to visit the shortorder cook.  The large IHOP throwrug is a soggy mess as it sloshes under foot, and
almost slips over to the doorway as you regain your footing. It doesnt say
"Leon was here", anymore. Someone stole the bathroom door.

LOVELOST (APWN)Guyanna--I loved her. I gave her all I had in existance. She was
young.  I was too; but not quite weird enough for her. She needed more. She
needed excitement, I guess.
  Sure, I was exciting but not weird enough for her. I drove an old beat up
Datsun for mileage, and a Chevy pickup for the haul. I guess I just wasnt
sporty enough. She left me for a guy with a bitchin camaro.

   ...........
  /  from   /
 /   the   /   March, 1988.
/publisher/    That's when it ended for
........./   me.

              My truck totalled, my insurance $2800 a year, my manager
stealing computer sales from me, no girlfriend for a whole month, Citibank
screaming judges, lawyers, and court, the local cable company, and national
telephone company wanting to "talk to me", half a college degree, 21 pounds
of excess fat I cant get rid of, a psychotherapist that doesnt want my body--
she wants my penis. and 80 dollars, and a partridge shitting on me from a
peartree overhead.
  By 1990, I will be installing step-by-step switching systems in the third
world with the US Army. I signed up in July, and will ship by the time you
get this letter. I dont feel good about joining RayGun's Raiders, or Bush's
Broncos for that matter. Or even Duke's Dingalings. But I'm going after
communicatons skills I simply cannot get in college, and surely aren't getting
making sandwiches at 6.50 per hour. I leave ATI in good hands. Your new
publisher will be Fah-Q, and contributing editors are Ground Zero, the 8th
Defendant, ee the Minuteman, Rick Stoddar, Cygnus, Yipster, and Chip, and the
usual bunch of hacks.
  Fah-Q comes to us from Indiana, and says he plans on headquartering in
Providence, Groton, Philly, AND Denver by the year 1991. He's basically taking
us into 1989 with strong footing. That's a lot considering we live in a nation
that hasnt been able to claim strong footing since custer's last stand.
  I'll be fully removed from ATI for 8 weeks while I undergo namecalling,
daily floggings, and practice using various weapons like m-16's and 9mm's.  Not
much different from my usual daytoday
lifestyle. After that I'll try to get mycomputer out to me, so I can come back
on as a strong force within Activist Times Incorporated.
  Good luck Fah-Q, and look out world.  You thought I play rough.

SAVE THAT CARD by INSANE ANGELO WARLORD
                                - -  -

  You dial your 800xxx-xxxx to use your card, and get a bad code siren again.
You call it back and sit there for a minute waiting for the operator and let
her put you thru to CS. 3 times it worked. "I payed $60 2 weeks ago, you didnt
journalize it yet?"
  They gave you the benefit of the doubt and reactivated your card,anticipating
their rubberalloy payment.
  No go.
  You gotta fork over at least 100 bills this time or you'll NEVER SEE YOUR
CARD AGAIN.  "Screw that," you tell her, "eat cockatoo ka-ka"
  You'll leave it bad and pay them 5 a month til it's paid off or you die--
whichever comes first.
  If youre thinking of cuttin up that card, and tossing it, dont. That magneeto
strip on the back is a blank key.
  Can you say ATM?
  I knew you could.
  Next time u need to visit your friend or hack a few 4digit pins or
whatever, dont let him leave a key under the doormat: too risky, you dont
know WHAT kind of people would try gaining access to such a room. Insert your
own personal magneeto card. It's not active anymore, but it's still a zipstrip.
That's all they are looking for at the scanner!!! You knew those silly looking
14 digit things were good for something.  Besides, it's good reference in case you forgot your home fone #.

  That's it for ATI25!!!

SCARED, REAL SCARED   by The Happy
Hacker.
Have you ever had your call traced?
Can you recognize that it is being
done?
I've had it described to me many a
time before; but I had no idea the
energy that comes out of a line trace 
right out at you. Until:
I dialed my local MCI switching
number. (xxx)xxx-xxxx. I then waited
for
the low mechanical sounding tone that
tells us phreakers it is ok to dial
our
liberated access code. xxxxx, I
autodialed. I touched /a/ /1/ which
autodialed
3055844400. ***Editor's note: I've
just returned from packing all my hack
and
phreak information bringing it all (a
Samsonite attache-ful ) out into the
car
I am borrowing from my car dealer
while they repair my pickup truck on a
recall)
(I tell you this to capture the
atmosphere here. It all goes into the
setting.)
(The need of repair comes in good
timing as I can always say the
incriminating information was in there
when I picked up the car)
Anyways I am out of breath from a
combination of 1) my adrenal glands
flowing like a dripping wet pussy in
heat; and 2) running around the house
looking to get EVERYTHING then bolting
out the door to finally get it all
into
the safety of my loaner car.
Now, I have every intention of using
the "Gomer Pyle" stupidity routine,
saying that a telemarketer told me if
I send $30 cash to him each month: 
he'd
give me a WATS line to use for my
telecommunicating pleasure.
I'll say that he called me every
couple of weeks to tell me that my
access code to the wats line had been
changed for my safety.
I believed him. I've been had!!
Anyways, more on that later. Back to
what happened a thousand seconds
ago (1:03 a.m. this Tuesday morning,
January 13, 1987)
So, I dialed the number using my
Radio Shack autodialing tone-dialer.
After what I thought was a successful
connection to the multi-user
mainframe in Orlando, Florida--- the
phone went dead.
Can you recognize the sound of
numbers dialing at about 19200 bps? I
heard it! I knew what it was. Oh, it
had to be at least 28 tones dialed
before
I hung up the phone in pure panic. Up
and down, high and low pitch. I did NOT
wait to hear them verify my phone
number. ( I'm shivering right now, but
I'm
more excited than scared. Oh I'm
scared. Believe me you. But I'm more
excited
than scared. I wanted to learn all the
ins and out of hack-phreak. Well, here
I
am.)
After hanging up the phone I dialed
every local modem number I could
possibly connect to. All busy. I then
got right onto Tymnet and logged onto
Delphi (my own legally owned account).
 It's after hanging up from them that
I
began gathering all my nuts into the
brief-case to stow it away, and that
brings us right up to this very moment.
I'm nervous, really nervous. They
haven't called, and I've left the
phone untied for 7 minutes now. I
think a few things here: 1) They
didn't get a
trace.  2) They got one, but can't do
a damned thing about it.  3) They got a
trace, but are legally bound to
calling me only between the hours 8:30
a.m. and
8:30 p.m.
You think I'll sleep one second
tonight? And I've pulled two
all-nighters in a row already.
Vivarin's makers are going to love me.
And to
think, I wanted excitement. An
adventure through the trunk-lines of
society. A
free phone call anywhere in the
continental U.S. at 2400 baud.
Oh well. Now, I just sit and wait.
More on this later...

PASS THE ROACH by Yipster

I saw a roach at the Radisson today. 
No lie.  Right under the carport out
front. He was shiny and gold; walking
across the sidewalk like a trooper. He
must've been lost.  "The restaurant is
that-away." Hmmmm. After all that
class,
all that style, all that work, they
still have roaches. What a concept.
Roaches, I can't believe it.  At the
Radisson?  Nahhhhh.  Wow.

IRAN: A Fictionfact. By Prime Anarchist

     "Mr. Premier. You've just been
implicated in the sales of thirty-eight
mig's and twenty-five million dollars
worth of missiles to mexico . What do
you
have to say for that," asked a TASS
reporter?
     "No comment," said the premier,
Raygun Roychiev.
     "Aw c'mon. Mr Prem. Say
something."
     "He has yet to be briefed by his
advisers," said speaker Lario
speakoffsky. "He will address you all
at an open conference within 36 hours."
     The premier rushed off to his
helocopter where he would bolted  to
headquarters to be told what to say
the next night in front of both
television
audiences: his, and those capitalist
pigs.
     See, it's 1995, and the Soviet
Union had been taken over by
anarchists.
This meant that freedom was prevalant.
This was suddenly a more liberal
country
than Amerika. It WAS inevitable: a
Rehnquist/Reagan royal wedding made
merica
more of a police state; so the Union
had to balance things off with a freer
society.  Gorbachv made things very
much freer than Russians had seen in
the
80's but his death marked the birth of
anarchy in the ussr. Hence, much more
liberalism. Jeans, t-shirts, rock
concerts, marijuana; everything was
available
out in the open here in the USSR.
     Suddenly the new premier gets
accused of shipping arms to an enemy. A
country who'd been siding with
amerika.  a country who'd gotten in
the way of
Union's interests in afganistan back
in the 80's. Now, the press-- TASS,
pravda, ussr today, The Evening, the
Hartforsk Courante, and the New
Yourfsko
Minute all could never forgive a
leader for supplying the enemy.
     Fred P. Hack, a journalist for
the Postov, called the Kremlin Press
Office
at 18004249090 to hear and record the
premier's latest speach.
     "Whehlll----" said the premier,
who'd once been an adequate actor on
the
big screen and the prime-time
announcer at a local radio station in
des moinex
iowovs.  "I'd like to talk to you all
today about the recent accusations
regarding te shipping of arms to
mexico.
   I had nothing to do with it. My
advisors tell me to say that we are
doing
all we can to find out just WHO is
shipping arms to this evil empire.  An
independent agency working for the KGB
has been working diligently to get> to
the bottom of this all, and they have
found an interesting glitch in all
this:
all the invoices seem to have
signature.
   Whehllll. I'll tell you now, and
I'll make myself very clear: I did
not; I
repeat 'did not' sign those shipping
orders. I've hired my own investigators
now, to look into this. And if we find
out that some persons have been using
my
signature to play meteor mercenary to
these mexicans muckmouths, there will
be
TROUBLE.
    I remember one day when mother and
me were driving up our west coast, the
big blue ocean to our left, and giant
redwoods to our right. And I
thought..."
    "We're sorry mr. Premier," said
the journalist in the back, "but we've
all
got to go to press. It was really nice
chatting with you, and we hope to catch
you at some more teleprompting
screwups."
      Just then all the journalists
filed out the room, leaving Raygun
Roychievski all to himself.
      "I think we pulled it off," said
te premier, to himself.
      "Whehlllll--you're right, I
think we did."
      Tune in next time, when...
      "We have just outlawed Amerika. 
The bombing begins in thirty
seconds..."

THE WESLEYAN EXPERIENCE Prime Anarchist

  It's weeks later, and the Wesleyan
thing just ended. Can you believe it?
  Basically, admin did a "divide and
conquer" type thing. They agreed to
most
of the demands but the one they
partially agreed to caused an "acting
up" kind
of thing.
  They agreed to have regular meetings
discussing divestment allowing students
to the beginning of each meeting.
  But an hour into each seeion they're
gonna announce "closed session" and
none
of the students are gonna be allowed
to be there discussing what THEIR
tuition
money'll be doing across the seas.
  It's kinda like taxes. Whether you
like it or not, some of your money's
down
there killing Guatemalans and over
there torturing Palestinians.

CITICORPSE: Up To Their Old HiJinks by
The 8th Defendant
  Ramon Milian-Rodriguez, chief money
launderer for the Medellin cocaine
cartel, now serving a 30-year prison
term, testified that he personally
laundered $2.4 billion a year in drug
profits through Panama branches of
Citicorp, and Chase Manhattan.
  The Citicorpse/Nazi Party relation
goes deeper for sure, but that's as
deep
as I can dig it up.
  If anyone has any way of getting
ahold of Rodriguez or any of his frendz
please drop off a line to the BRO Box.

NOTES FROM GROUND LEVEL by dust-f-ski
5 of 4 am. el restaurante. 4 guys
trippin
their brains out.  One's got a creamer
in his mouth squeezin it with his
teeth.Anothers sayin "listn, keep it
in your pans, man. Keep it in your
mouth,"
tryin to sound like Humphrey Bogart,
even though the word content is way
off.
  Another is smokin a "cig" starin at
the ashtray but focusing on something
far
beyond the tray way way out at least 3
miles from here. His eyes are buggin
way
out of his head. The last one isnt
moving, at all. He's lettin his coffee
sit
there and stagnate, since he's facin
away from me, it's hard to tell what
his
eyes are doing.
  The first one says, "I want
scrambled eggs and dead bacon."
  The last one still aint movin, but I
heard this come out of his head:
"scrambled. Dead". His lips moved just
a bit.  I've got finger dislexia. I
always reverse the 'u' and the 's' in
jsut=just. I don't know why, they're
not
even near each other. We're talking
l-3- h vs r-1-u <left-ring-home versus
right- pointer-up> hehe

Well that's it for ati27.

HACKERS: One Man's Definition.
by The Demon

Hacking in itself is seldom defined
correctly; the definition I use is a
person who is very knowledgeable about
computers and is rather expert at
using them. In short, a really good
programmer/modifyer.  A hacker will
spend hours revising or editing a
program or application to make it more
efficient; his true love is learning
and he will spend most of his time
pursuing new things about computers. 
Indeed, he may often work ridiculously
(seemingly) simply to discover how to
"build a better mouse trap".  These
people are not interested, usually in
getting into other people's software
and systems.  They are more interested
in figuring out how things work and
often improving or modifying them for
their own use.
  True hackers believe that
information and the use of computer
time should not be wasted; indeed,
they are hateful of passwords and file

MARIHUANA: HOW TO GROW IT, REAP IT, AND COOK IT.  a prime anarchist production.
typed in from anarchist cookbook.  Marihuana is available anywhere in the
country, as the black market is widespread and thriving very well.
   There are many different methods of growing marihuana, and it seems everyone
has just discovered the best fertilizer.  I could not relay all the methods in
five books, so have settled for the technique that has been proven most
successful.
  Most seeds are fertile, but the best are from Mexico. Never under any
circumstances throw seeds away, since marihuana is a weed and will grow almost
anywhere. The first step is to soak your seeds overnight in clean, lukewarm
water. YOur container should be a standard planter box. If this is not
available, a plastic dish tray about two inches deep will serve uset as well.
Fill the container with washed fine sand and shredded sphagnum moss. If this is
not readily available, you can use regular soil. The soil should be packed
firmly, and watered well so that the excess water is allowed to run off. Dig
furrows the full length of the container about one-half-inch deep. Now you are
ready to sow your seeds. Do so every inch. Fill in each furrow with soil, sand,
moss, and water. Cover the container with a clear plastic sheet, and place it
in a warm location where there are at least six hours of sunlight a day. The
plants now remain on their own until they develop their first true leaves.
  Even it the material above is not available, almost the same degree of
success can be accomplished by placing the seeds on several layers of water
soaked paper towels. Now cover the seeds with a plastic sheet jsut as above,
and expose to sunlight.
   In about one week, signs of life should start to appear. Within two weeks,
definite little leaves should be present. This is the time to transplant.  The
plot you intend to use for your transplant should be carefully prepared.
Manure should be used for at least one week in advance of the actual
transplant. The soil should be similar to the original soil used in the
germinating box. All other weeds, in the general area of your plot, should be
pulled to allow your plant as much freedom as possible.
   The original germinating box should be watered the day before you are going
to transplant, so as to make the move easier and less traumatic on the
plants.The plants should be placed in holes two to three inches deep, depending
on the size of the plant. The earth around the plant should be loose, and if
possible, some earthworms should be added. If there is a lack of sunlight, a
simple ring of tinfoil around the plant can be very helpful. The first few days
are the msot critical after the actual transplant. If the plants survive the
shock, there should be no reason why they shouldn't grow into healthy, fully
grown plants (which means, in certain climates, fifteen to twenty feet high).
   Very little care is needed after this stage, with the exception of
fertilization. For fertilizers, one can use manure, soluble nitrogen, nitrate
of soda, sulfate of ammonia, or rotting garbage (which has always been
popular).  To produce a stronger plant, on can clip off the lower leaves; do
this only when the plant reaches a height of at least three feet. The ground
surrounding your plant should be kept clear of other weeds, but strangely
enough, insects ignore marihuana and do virtually no harm.
   As a rule, it is better to wait until the plants have gone to seed before
they are cut, but if you're greedy, you  can kill the goose that laid the
golden egg.  The best agent for drying is the sun, but if you live in the city
it could prove embarrassing and dangerous to have five- or ten-foot pot trees
on your fire escape- in this case a sun lamp can be used. When using the sun,
drying usually takes about two weeks. With a sun lamp, the pot is smokable
after only three or four days. When drying is done, seperate the leaves and
crush them. This will be the finest smoke, unless you have a female plant. If
so, save the blossoms for the most potent smoke there is. The stems and twigs
can be chopped up and smoked in a pipe, or sold to a friend.
   Grass is basically a weed and can be grown anywhere, including indoors with
artificial light. A sun lamp works well from a distance of two to three feet.
For an interesting experiment, use infra -red light on part of your crop and a
sun lamp on the other part, then compare. A bathtub or cement mixer is an ideal
planter for the city dweller.

THE MASOCHISM TANGO by Tom Lehrer
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear
But much more for the touch of your
  whips, dear.
You can raise welts like nobody else,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

Let your love be a flame not an ember,
Say it's me that you wanna dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie.
As we dance to the masochism tango.
