welcome to the unparalleled, the unexpected, the perfectly paradoxical,
the grotesquely beautiful, the new-fangled world of the Clandestine
Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA).

The Society of the Spectacle @ Bureau of Public Secrets
Translator's Note to the 2002 translation
There have been several previous English translations of The Society of
the Spectacle. I have gone through them all and have retained whatever
seemed already to be adequate. In particular, I have adopted quite a
few of Donald Nicholson-Smith's renderings, though I have diverged from
him in many other cases. His translation (Zone Books, 1994) and the
earlier one by Fredy Perlman and John Supak (Black and Red, 1977) are
both in print, and both can also be found at the Situationist
International Online website.

ReadTo Shoot an Elephant
Synopsis
"...afterwards, of course, there were endless discussions about the
shooting of the elephant. The owner was furious, but he was only an
Indian and could do nothing. Besides, legally I had done the right
thing, for a mad elephant has to be killed, like a mad dog, if it's
owner fails to control it".

Solidarity With All Hacktivists
A demonstration in solidarity with Anonymous Hacker Jeremy Hammond occurred last night (December 3, 2013) at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn where he is temporarily being held. Just two weeks ago, the 28 year old was sentenced to 10 years in federal detention for cyber crimes. Amongst other high-profile breaches, he leaked confidential intelligence data to Wikileaks from a private intelligence firm known as Stratfor. Many consider Stratfor to be a "shadow CIA" operating under even less regulation and oversight than a government entity.

Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination
This guide is not a road map or instruction manual. It's a match struck
in the dark, a homemade multi-tool to help you carve out your own path
through the ruins of the present, warmed by the stories and strategies
of those who took Bertolt Brecht's words to heart: "Art is not a mirror
held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."
Electronic Civil Disobedience, Simulation, and the Public Sphere
What counts in the long run is the "use" one makes of a theory....We
must start from existing practices in order to retrace the fundamental
flaws.
--Felix Guattari, "Why Marx and Freud No Longer Disturb Anyone"
In 1994, when Critical Art Ensemble first introduced the idea and a
possible model of electronic civil disobedience (ECD) as another option
for digital resistance, the collective had no way of knowing what
elements would be the most practical, nor did it know what elements
would require additional explanation. After nearly five years of field
testing of ECD by various groups and individuals, its information gaps
have become a little more obvious and can finally be addressed.
