[CIMC-work] FW: Hello from the Prince Myshkins

Tue Apr 6 11:43:42 PDT 2004

Hi, Andy, thanks for being in touch. I'm forwarding this to the CIMC working
group list, for everyone's review and consideration for action.

Jim Hoffman has discovered a document which I believe may be very important
to the 911 skeptic movement. This document superseded earlier DOD procedures
for dealing with hijacked aircraft, and it requires that Secretary of
Defense Rumsfeld is personally responsible for issuing intercept orders.

>> target date for
>> this is September the 19th.

>> Charlie King (who Pete Seeger calls "one of the greatest singers and
>> songwriters
>> of our time") has been at it since the very early '70's, singing for

>> with good humor during intense involvement with the anti-nuclear

>> Penalty
>> (and the Journey of Hope from Violence to Healing), and countless other

>> extensive knowledge
>> of the Latin American "Nueva Cancion" movement of songwriters. For more

>> them,
>> see http://www.charlieking.org.
>> 
>> The Prince Myshkins have been at it since 1997, after our move to
> California
>> from Urbana,
>> Illinois. We've been deeply involved with San Diego activist
> organizations,
>> and have toured the
>> country performing for queer anarchists, Catholic nuns,

>> suburbanites,
>> psychologists, kids, and anyone else who's wanted to listen. Recent songs

>> Without an End," which casts George Bush as an annoying telephone

>> "Hollywood,"
>> inspired by the Administration's post-9/11 proposals to movie producers
> for
>> terrorist-themed
>> film plots, "Banana Cream Pie," about the actual pie-in-the-face given to
>> the president of the
>> World Bank, and many more. Our website is

>> Town School),
>> at the Autonomous Zone, at the Green Mill, and in theaters and apartments
>> around the city.
>> We have two short appearances scheduled in Chicago during the week

>> up to the 19th,

>> able to put together.
>>

>> we'd be delighted.
>> Let us know what you think of all this!
