THE END OF AN ERA
Wooo. 3 frenetic months ago (oops!) at the close of issue #121,
I mentioned
the impending move from our windowless lab in the heart of
Silicon Valley
tech-industrial sprawl.  My tone was at once nervous and flip...
major
change loomed in a shape I could not imagine.
Well, it happened.  As the end of the lease drew nigh, our world
became a
bizarre bifurcated reality of fiberglassing and boxing -- Bob

     Avebury is a huge stone circle 20 miles north of stonehenge
     with a pub in the middle,

     there are lots of other stone circles in cornwall, scotland,
     etc

     (StoneForm)  In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be in UK for
     the
      first time and, while I'd like to see Stonehenge, I hear that
      there's a "second" Stonehenge somewhere.  Can you email me
     with
      the location and info?  Thanks for the info and the great web

     ...........................
     Could be referring to Callanish, Isle of Lewis, or to recent
     publicity
     on: -

     STANTON DREW:  English Heritage recently announced the
     discovery of evidence of what has been described as 'the largest
     prehistoric building ever found anywhere in the world.' A
     magnetic scan
     of the soil at the largest of the group of stone circles at
     Stanton
     Drew,
     seven miles south of Bristol, revealed a complex of more than
     400 buried
     pits inside the stones. This appears to consist of nine
     concentric
     rings,
     23 to 95 metres in diameter, of holes roughly 1m in size and
     spacing.
     These are assumed to have held posts for a huge open or roofed
     structure, about 5000 years ago.
       Thought to be 'of comparable significance to Stonehenge', the
     finding
     of yet another remarkable prehistoric site is making some
     archaeologists
     wonder if they should be looking for a lost civilisation in
     Britain.
       The site is aligned on the midsummer sunrise, and English
     Heritage
     officials  are reported to have said that 'it is likely the
     discovery
     will
     become a place of pilgrimage for those following alternative
     lifestyles
     and believers in earth powers.' Their chairman Jocelyn Stevens,
     had an
     explanation from the right wing of archaeology for the site;
     'They were
     expressing their power by building these great rings, just as we
     are
     celebrating the Millennium by building a huge dome.'

jamesmyt970805 struggle for peace, instead of dying for money 

From  Tue Aug  5 08:31:34 1997
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everybody. You're doing well, it's nice to find non-conservative people (no,
I'm not talking about politics) 
It's a great and useful job you're performing. May all the responsible people
follow your example, and struggle for peace, instead of dying for money.  They
stink and they are ruining OUR world, we need to join our efforts, all the free
people of this yet too small planet. All together, we can, little by little, do
something, we MUST do something. Because I don't want my children to wear a gas
mask to walk the city.
ecology is human, economy is alien.
Have you seen the EZLN site ? well you should, but right now, I can't remember
the address, you know, it's that thing I smoked, really weird....
Have all a nice and peaceful and ecological time, and thanks for reading my shit

leeblack9704 study on the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 

Thu Apr 17 01:17:48 1997
     Greetings, Dice George!
     My name is Lee Blackstone, and I am a graduate student at the University
of Massachusetts at Amherst.  I am working towards my Master's degree, and I 
am pursuing a study on the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act.  Jon
at the Legal Defense Monitoring Group (gilgongo@phreak.co.uk) suggested that
I get in touch with you for your insights regarding the CJA.
     I first became aware of the Act through music...I had been hosting a
roots radio program here at the University that concentrated on the various
folk, folk-rock, and folk-punk movements around the U.K. and Europe.  The
Cooking Vinyl compilation, "The Disagreement of the People," first brought the
CJA to my attention.
     Appalled by the nature of the act, I have mentioned the Act on air here
in Massachusetts to raise awareness of how political protest is endangered in
the U.K.
     Most Americans haven't a clue about the CJA, and there is terribly little
information available here on the subject.  I have been getting some information
off of the Internet, but many websites are simply outdated.
     
     My interest in pursuing the CJA runs thusly:
     From what information I have been able to piece together, it would appear
that one of the unintended consequences of the Act has been to unite various
alternative and political groups in opposition to the Act.  
     I wish to pursue this possibility further.  In participating in political 
protests in the U.K., what sorts of alliances have you found among protest
groups?  How have such alliances been established?  Have certain alliances been
broken, and if so, why?
     I am aware that certain groups are specifically targeted by the Act, such
as hunt sabs, roads protesters, squatters, ravers, travellers, and 
gypsies.  Do you know of any individuals that I might be able to interview,
or who would be willing to respond to some e-mailed questions?  Any help in
this area would be most welcome.
     I am also interested in knowing about the reaction of police at protests
where the provisions of the CJA could be invoked.  How have the police felt
about enforcing the CJA?  What sorts of repercussions for civil liberties 
has the act had?  And: WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT SO INTERESTED IN INCREASING
POLICE POWERS SO THAT MANY ASPECTS OF BRITISH CULTURE ARE BEING CRIMINALIZED?
     Another question that I have as I have begun to conduct my research 
concerns Travellers.  There's not much written here about Traveller
culture at all, and I am having a hard time figuring out
     a.) how this movement got started, and
     b.) what the demographics of this group are --
         who comprises the travellers? where do they come from? 
     c.) how do Travellers feel they have been depicted by the media?
         what differences/similarities do Travellers have with gypsies?
     d.) what have been the most beneficial alliances for Travellers in 
         the fight against the CJA?  Why?
Again, any aid along these lines would be most helpful.
     Please, feel free to e-mail me with any information or contacts.  If you
have any relevent printed information that you would be willing to send, my
address is:
     Lee Blackstone
     97 State Street
     Northampton, MA 01060
     USA
     Thank you for your kind attention, and I shall look forward to hearing 
from you soon.  You are welcome to pass on this e-mail to any other interested
parties that can help me with this research.  Hopefully, I can aid in raising
awareness here in the States regarding these issues!
     All the best,
     Lee Blackstone

====================================
As you know, the Rainbow Info Coordination in Switzerland (Christoforus)
doesn't exist anymore -- 
in Portugal we met and found a different way of
spreading the news. Instead of the central address
 for the whole of Europe,
now there are five of us sharing the task.
We are going to gather and exchange the information 
each of us gets, write
the newsletter, and then send it out to the different focalizers (mainly)
in Europe. We try to send it as quickly as possible to main focalizers in
every country who themselves are distributing it as well to the other
focalizers and so to the whole family!

The "Dance till dawn' paper is a series of guidelines and recommendations for local authorities to consider when granting public entertainment licences. Organisations like Release, Lifeline, Festival Welfare Services, The Scottish Drugs Forum and Megadog, had some input into the guidelines which have many positive elements.

 Dear All at Torriano Ave,
 well its monday morning and i'm at work again.
 I went down to the Henge on saturday for the solstice.
 In order to get there for dawn i had to leave at
 2.30 am in order that i had a margin to allow for dodging
 the roadblocks.
 Hammered down the M3 after picking up a
 friend (a first timer) who was pretty nervous about going
 at all !
 After getting close enough, and after going around
 three roadblocks i turned off
 towards the Larkhill MOD site
 (they cant block it off so its a good back door !) and
 parked in the married quarters.
 Theres a track there which leads up to
 the back of the Heritage Carpark, which also has
 tree cover for the first part.
 The helicopters were out so
 i lead the way - sticking to the treeline, with my
 by now very nervous friend in tow.
 Once out of the cover of the trees we had no
 cover to speak of, so we went for the
 direct approach.
 We both were wearing
 dark clothing
 so we went over the stile towards the ceremony field
 without
 being spotted.
 Keeping quiet, but again with
 no attempt at concealment (although
 it was quite light)
 we walked up to the fenceline and hopped over onto the
 access road by the helestone.
 As soon as our boots touched
 tarmac there was a
 shout from a startled copper ("look out-
 get 'em!) and before i went three more
 steps i was collared.
 "morning chaps" i grinned at them.
 "you all look cold and
 bored,
 why not stay in your nice warm van".
 They didnt appear to
 appreciate the
 humour.
 They kept a firm grip on me while they
 read me the relevant section of
 the CJA (section 14).
 I say
 relevant but it appears that the Ms Neville has
 complete
 license to interpret the act as she sees fit.
 The "tresspassory
 assembly" bit applies to persons numbering 20 or more.
 No one else
 was there
 apart from me and my friend (who kept giving me
 worried glances) so i didnt see
 how the act applied, and told
 the coppers so.
 It seemed to take them aback a
 bit but they told
 that the act gave them "discretionary powers".
 Bollocks - they
 were making it up on the spot.
 They gave me a copy of the
 notice and told me i'd
 been served.
 Time to choose - under
 the terms of the Act, once you've been told
 to leave you must,
 or face arrest.
 I toyed with the idea for a few seconds
 but
 decided discretion was probably better since we had no support.
 We wished the
 coppers a good day and set off back the way we came,
 but only after a parting
 shot "i hope you realise that what
 you are doing is wrong.
 It infringes my civil
 liberty personally
 and interferes with my right to freedom of worship in
 whatever
 form i choose.
 Servants of the law neednt be slaves to it."
 They looked
 at each other for a second or two, one of them shrugged,
 one of them looked glum
 and nodded, but they didnt reply.
 We made our way back along the path back
 towards Larkhill,
 but stopped for a smoke to admire the henge in the dawn
 light.
 Beautiful and ancient it stood serene, wrapped in
 the golden morning light.
 Helicopters buzzed around her like
 angry wasps, and the policemen milling about
 her looked like
 ants whose nest has been poked with a sharp stick. Like the
 grand old lady that she is, the Henge ignored it all, standing
 silent and
 glorious as she always has done, i knew that she
 was waiting.
 Waiting for me and
 others like me to take care
 of her as she needs to be taken care of - with a
 spiritual
 love and deep respect rooted in the bone.
 Its what she understands
 and
 expects from people.
 I got the feeling that she knew the
 police couldnt stay
 forever, but she could.
 We headed back to
 the car and left feeling that at least
 we had made the effort.
 Waved to some guys getting hassled at the junction and
 laughed
 at the amount of police they needed to "protect" the area.
 We headed
 home.
 But will we go back again next time ? Of course.
 The more difficult the
 police make it for us, the closer we
 come to having the CJA repealed.
 The
 European Convention on
 human rights is surely being infringed.
 The more
 outrageous
 the police become, the closer a test case in Europe comes.
 Keep
 fighting everyone,
 never give up the quest. Peace Profound.

BE HAPPY AS CAN BE!!!!!


SUMMER'S HERE AND THE TIME IS RIGHT,


FOR DANCIN' IN THE STREET,


AND ON A FEW LEY LINES AS WELL!!


ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY???


GOOD, THEN I'LL BEGIN.


SOLSTICE STEEPLECHASE by MMatt


SUNDAY MORNING INSOMIA:


Half past f'ing four i woke up today, aghast with the 12 hours I had been
comatosed after my summer solstice celebration.


It  all  started  at the cafe last night before last when we were  gigging
in  a birthday  way  for Dom's 26th. Ramblin' man tells me that he's  got
a lift to the stones at 3am, and there may be a place.


We  were going to finnish at 1am anyway but we still needed
to  pack  up the  kit  and  get back to Kings X. I got back to
my place  at  a  bit before 2, a phonecall later I running
down the road to the rendezvous, as  our driver still hadn't
unloaded the van, or picked up two of  the passengers. Sunrise
is a little after five.


Nature's  abounding with ways of helping us to get where
we wanted  to go. Our carriage was good, well maintained,
and knew the best roads to take,  we were sliding to our
destination on a wind of wild rain.  The clouds in fact
delayed the first peep on sunshine until we had entered
the zone of the stones.


As  we approached, we were braced for the other rays  of
blareyness, that  were  present.  The  bright yellow and
orange  stripes  of  the authorities  gleamed  through  us
with the  intensity  of  a  nuclear incident  as if to
imply that in some way we were to be very  wary  of each
next step that we were about to take.


From the Amesbury roundabout, I noticed about 20
patrol vehicles  and at  least  100-150  troops,
ready and primed  for  attack.  They  were
dressed in either, fierce flouro or combat-jet
black. All of them were giving  an  air  of
intolerance to their own  job  discription.
Hippy bashing was a lot more fashionable 10 years
ago.


The  lads  want some real action now, the
solstice  stones  vigil  is probably  just a
training exercise for the troops. Soon they  will
be needed elsewhere. We were allowed to pass
along the road,  accompanied by  a  landrover,
until a junction allowed us to take a  right,
where upon we found a verge and parked.


In  the next field was an ancient site,
a barrow or two and a  public footpath
that would lead us to the other road,
it was now that the sun rose  above the
clouds. We had got to  within  site  of
stonehenge, surrounded  by fields of
oats and wheat. A picture postcard view
of  a quintessential  landscape.  A
psychedelically  induced  dreamy  breeze
waved  the  heads of grain,
reminding me that i didn't need to
be  on anything else than this humble
and w'holy land. Only a few yards  away
a  young deer scampered through the
field, "bambi" I called,  in smug irony.


I  had  forgotten, just how beautiful
these trips  really  are.  You
needed binoculars to identify the
black and fluorescent dots. We used  ours
to  spot any sign of presence at the Hele stone,
I couldn't  make  out anyone else but troops.


 The  path led straight to the road
 Where as we got closer the  flouro got
brighter,  my own directive was to exercise
my right to  walk  in open country
side on this special day.


As I interpreted the law, up  to 19 of us were
allowed to walk unchallenged.
However when we  got  to within  earshot  of the
constabulary, close enough to offer  a  polite
"good morning" we were marshalled into
walking away from the stones.
The youngest of the squad was
quick to
quote 14c
of Cja
and that
they had
already
had 28
persons
attempting to
congregate at the
stones.


How hundreds of coppers are not able to
effectively police such an event is beyond me.
After all  you get as many coppers at a normal festival,
crime per head of capita
is lower than in society generally.
Because it is considered leisurely,
the authority is  not prepared to tolerate anything
that is not motivated towards making a profit for them.
 If thirty or so people cannot be allowed
freedom of movement, albeit monitored,
then the exercise has been a waste.


At school I was told by the visiting police liaison officer,
that the police's role in society is
"to prevent people from HURTING themselves or
others around them."


Most  serious crime including theft, comes into this catagory,
yet when we are doing something conscious like this,
to improve our state well being, WHY do they have a veto over us?


We  walked along the road then spotted who we thought were our  mates
on the path that we had just walked. We hopped over the fence and raced
across the field, back to the path to join them, defying our  previous
orders. This spot gave the best legal view of the stones.


There  we  joined  up with some other  solstice  wanderers,  not  the
undesirable types that the media chooses to describe,
but students and wanderers alike.
Who am I to judge who has the right to be  here,
or anyone on us for that matter.


So we headed for Avebury 25 miles  away.


There  were  a couple of hundred people camped up and  unhassled,
the local  villagers  have  in  fact seised the  opportunity  to  offer
a solstice  breakfast  cafe in the local hall.
£2 for a  vegan  brekkie, £2.50 for veggie,
muesli and yogurt, coffee, the works, and a queue  to suit,
bleary eyed backpackers rubbing backy with the pagan pixies  and fulltime
fezziegoers,  too  much  for our  tired  consensus  of  city dwellers,
they went on to have breakfast inn Malborough town
centre as I caught 28 winks in the van.


 Returning  that lunchtime, knowing that I should be carrying on  with
important tasks, all  of  which  could  wait,
I  made  the   relevant phonecalls and flaked
out to sleep 12 wasted hourlong winks more.
Woke and  wrote.


A glimpse at how our culture has evolved,
able  to  enjoy solstice in a multitude of locations
whatever the conditions


 mm.


I used my old lap top to write the text, saved in asc.
and when I loaded up to em@il
it went a bit collumy!!!!
I've edited it a bit, but some of it worked in
bitesize lines...
re edit if you care it is a solstice prezzie to you ,
see you on the walk

Dear DiceGeorge,        
Hi,
my name is Meredith McNulty and I'm in grade seven enrichment.
For english we have to do a three minute talk on a real mystery.
On her list of suggestions,my teacher put stonehenge.
Stonehenge has always attracted my curiousity.
The idea of the druids and their rituals or ceremonies,
their mysterious lifestyle,their relations to stonehenge,
the earth forces,electrical currents,
tracking the sun and the moon's path.
They're so separated, so different from the rest of our history, 
yet so similar.
I was given a book last year by a friend that was called 
Sun God, Moon Witch by Welwyn Winton Katz.
It dealt with the idea of earth forces 
and underground electrical currents.
It is a very captivating read.
Anyway back to the point.
I need information.
Not college stuff,
but some basic background information about stonehenge and the druids.
If you could send me something it would be greatly appreciated.     
                                   Thanks a lot,           
                                     Meredith McNulty

Reddog 1977 visit to Stonehenge

MessageFrom:   Initials BB,reddog@mail.wantree.com.au,Internet
Subject:        Visiting rights to the stones
To:     DiceGeorge,pHreak
Dear Sir


In the winter of 1977 my wife and I visited Stonehenge, as I recollect
there was no kiosk, no ropes, and no ladies with middle class English
accents telling people where they could and could not go. In those days
we could walk amongst the stones, touch them, a tenuous link across
thousands of years, I am an engineer, I don't marvel at what these guys
did, I know what they did, what it cost and what sort of society had to
exist to bear that cost.

 The stones were not put there to be fenced off
or protected, they were part of a vibrant developing infrastructure, the
nearest anolagy I can draw today would be our shopping malls. The point
I'm trying to make is that we need to be able to go among the stones,
touch them, absorb the ambience of the slowly passing centuries. 


The structure was built to be used, not preserved, the whole community must
have supported the development otherwise it could not have been done.
You did not build Stonehenge, you have no right to deny people access,
even if it means the eventual destruction of the sight, that is not important, 
to be of any value, to respect the memory of the people who
built it we must use it. Cut the ropes, set the stones free. 


They do notbelong to the Government,
 tourists, or even to the local people, they
should be free to follow their own destiny, 
accessible to all even if it leads to the 
destruction of the monument as we know it. 


I cannot believe the presumption of the people 
who in 1993 denied us contact with the stones.

Regards, Reddog

Hello george.


Last saw you at Wandsworth I think.


Have been away for a few days.  Just got your message.  
Of course I will add a link to the Beanfield vid.
You have found me through my pages and with thus see that 
 I have already linked Stonehenge site already.

Don't know how much you know about all this web stuff. 
 
But the pages you've seen are my second attempt in the last two months. 
 Would be really grateful for any critisism you feel like making.. 
I would like to do better.
Some have said a complete mine of information and no problems.
  A coupleof others have reported that it was all too enormous, 
their machine crashed and they gave up!I do want to include a fair wedge of pictures, 
since I'm supposed to bea photographer.Can you suggest some reading 
to find out more for the arguments betweenGIF Vs JPG image files?
All of mine are GIF's at the moment.  

I knew JPG's were supposed to be smaller, but on conversion, 
many of the files became bigger! 
 The conversions required an increase in the saved number of colours.
Well there you go..... got a lot to learn.

I do need to save space since Compuserve allow me 1MB within my subscription.
 I am already, at a second attempt, occupying 958K of it.
I do want it all to be as accessable as possible. 
Gallery page will of course be heaviest.  

All collected togetherI realise I've prattled on, enough for one go!
I know about the yellow, but I like it!
