the book blurb says:

"[...]In addition to these materials, the book includes a subject index and an essay that interprets the novel in Nietzschean terms thereby unifying many of the related but disparate elements that dominate the text."

i'm terrified and intrigued all at once. the book seems hardly nietzschean in sentiment, yet the pervasive unrepenting violence could be read well if someone knew their nietzsche. i don't know. i kind of want to check it out, even if it ends only in lol-tears.

Quoted: Washington announces $1bn (£564m) to help Georgia's reconstruction after the conflict with Russia.

quoted:
"South America
Ten years ago on a S11, Claudia López an anarchist woman, student and dancer was assassinated by police while she was on a barricade protesting in a conmemoration of the coup d’etat of 1973. Under the slogan of black september, the combatant youth fight, in her name and all the assassinated in democracy, the bastards that killed her, making the world remember that we are living at war.
On S1 the combatant and subversive youth seted up barricades outside the Universidad de Chile college and fought riot police with molotov cocktails and stones, confronting police that used guns and tear gas"

anyone know anything more about this?

Quoted:"The civics lesson for hundreds of Chicago Public Schools students who skipped the first day of classes to protest Illinois education funding shifted Wednesday from the North Shore to corporate America in downtown Chicago. Rev. James Meeks, a state senator organizing the boycott, is sending buses of students to the lobbies of more than a dozen downtown Chicago businesses as part of a teach-in.[...]"

fucking insane.

Quoted:
"In what appears to be the first use of criminal charges under the 2002 Minnesota version of the Federal Patriot Act, Ramsey County Prosecutors have formally charged 8 alleged leaders of the RNC Welcoming Committee with Conspiracy to Riot in Furtherance of Terrorism. Monica Bicking, Eryn
Trimmer, Luce Guillen Givins, Erik Oseland, Nathanael Secor, Robert Czernik, Garrett Fitzgerald, and Max Spector, face up to 7 1/2 years in prison under the terrorism enhancement charge which allows for a 50% increase in the maximum penalty. [...] The criminal complaints filed by the Ramsey County Attorney do not allege that any of the defendants personally have engaged in any act of violence or damage to property."

Quoted: The rumors of a secret Rage Against the Machine concert turned out to be halfway true late Tuesday afternoon, when local blogs confirmed the free show on the lawn of the Minnesota State Capitol at 6:30 p.m. But, reportedly, as Anti-Flag — one of the scheduled performers for the Ripple Effect music festival — introduced RATM, police suddenly shut the concert down, despite the fact that the festival had a legal permit until 7 p.m. When the angry crowd’s chants of “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” failed to start the show, frontman Zack de la Rocha and guitarist Tom Morello performed an a cappella version of “Bulls on Parade,” handing a megaphone back and forth between them for the lyrics and music — Morello making the “bow-wow-wow-wakka-chikkas” with his mouth.
