Uprise Tour: Counter-Recruitment

So, we just got done with 2 dates on the Uprise Tour to promote Counter-Recruitment in NYC and at Ramapo College in New Jeru... At both dates, there are these guys from the organization Iraq Veterans Against the War.

These guys have a message that needs to be heard. They are telling a story about the war that nobody else is telling- and these are guys who were on the front line, taking it on the chin for the arrogant and destructive policies of our government.

They watched while equipment got funnelled out of Afghanistan to Iraq, even while we were told that the hunt for Osama Bin Laden was in full swing. They served multiple tours because the government can't adequately recruit enough new soldiers to serve...

Of course they can't recruit new soldiers- who wants to serve in an unjust war that theoretically can go on forever...

Please check these guys out at http://www.ivaw.org/ and support our troops for real.

In their own words- if you want war, then you go fight.

Peace-

Othello

d_CYPHERNAUTS´ open mic makes a break with tradition

d_CYPHERNAUTS´ open mic makes a break with tradition; Rebecca and Ken specialize in it

by Dan Barry - February 23, 2006

Local Motion

The monthly hip-hop open mic, Enter the Cypher , put on by d_CYPHERNAUTS at Cousin Larry´s (1 Elm St.), is one of several signs that Danbury is building some musical steam, especially where rap is concerned.

Less ¨conscious¨ than they are flat-out progressive, the ´Nauts strike an excellent balance between the positive and political. New York-based rapper Jay Eff Kay made a guest appearance to drop some revolutionary fire. Holding a gigantic axe onstage, he rapped about bombing the Hamptons and destroying malls now that the American dream is dead. Think Fight Club without the club. But it was d_CYPHERNAUTS who owned the evening, with their subject material ranging from the winter Olympics to Cheney blasting that dude in the face, to just how far black America has come since Cinque in Amistad said ¨give us, us free.¨ Enter the Cypher is held the third Friday of every month and I can´t recommend it highly enough.
