Memo: Reminder of Party in Power
To: Medea Benjamin and the Green Party

Please be advised that the party in power is the Republican party. We anarchists are a bit bemused by the Green party cloaking themselves as "Energy Activists". Thank you.

Office of Tom Foolery

At least these activists got out and did something - we know that while the so called Republicans are in power, it is a facade to think that they are not controlled by the same power structure that controls the Democrats also - so anyone who wants to protest any of these puppets - I say, more power to 'em.

I also give thanks for the hardcores like Tom Foolery,

Namaste :)

Memo: The New Age is Over
To: David "aka Namaster"

David, please note the New Age fad and fetish with eastern "pacifist" traditions is now over. Please consult some new guru to find a more up-to-date path or even check out the militant Catholic Worker for some guidance. Let's honor the Zapatistas, the Provos and numerous other counter-insurgencies which do more then run around with their silly signs and reved up megaphones.

Office of Tom Foolery

you can talk shit all you want about how people sign their greetings, and argue all day about who does more and how and better and why but the facts are that consciousness needs to be raised on a global level through 'any means necessary' whether it be your aunt sally green with a sign at the board meeting or the zapatistas marching or the imc techies who maintain this site. solidarity? what happened to that?

Memo: Solidarity With What
To: Jenny Z

Dear Ms. Z,
On the question of "Solidarity" we remind you that solidarity is exactly the point here. It is the Greens that are harassing other dilitantes in the struggle for people power. A little light hearted criticism helps the soul. Critically speaking it is the California Green Party that drives many away from the movement. Luckily, the Anarchists are there to pick up the pieces time after time.

Solidarity,

Office of Tom Foolery

Tom Foolery doesn't represent anarchists, except maybe one small faction extreme in its self-righteousness, assuming he's not some anonymous FBI agent spreading dissension (though I think we do a good enough job of that ourselves-- with or without their help).

As a militant anarchist, I think that what the public power advocates are doing is good, even if it is only "reformist." It takes all kinds to build a movement. Some of what the Green Party has done is lame, particularly around the Nader campaign, but it also does some positive outreach to more mainstream people-- like the great work being done by Medea and others around public power.

Rock on!

MEMO: Tom Foolery is not an person it is an office
TO: "Ya Basta!"

Dear Mr./Mrs. Basta,
For one that claims either enough is enough or to be a member of "Ya Basta!" you certainly have a dim mind. Please note the Office of Tom Foolery is an office not a person. Actually, Tom Foolery, if you didn't realize, refers to joking around. We find dim witted self-proclaimed anarchists to be as every bit as dull as the Green Party as a matter of fact please redress yourself and recuse yourself from the anarchist anti-authoritarian movement do to such literalism. In terms of Medea and the rest of the Vanguard gang I find your respect a bit questionable. Do you often go around endorsing those you have a love-hate relationship with. Perhaps you like disfunctional relationships? We in the office will enjoy such other defenses of the Greens and their latest gimick to gain public access. To help in the cause we suggest you maybe give them a lesson in property destruction, since you are a militant anarchist aren't you?

Jovialy,

Office of Tom Foolery

All resistance is good. Keep up the good work. As for the Office of Dumb Loonacy.....*yawn*

The movement of people is here. We are here and ready to stand up for what we believe in and we want to take the power to the masses, the only problem is we cannot agree on certain issues and this is fine but we must come together because if we don't they will divide and conquer us all. Instead of just showing up at conferences and protesting we should have our own conference where we can outline our ideas on what should be done. By doing this we can better organize the power of the people and go up against the corporate monkeys that run our government, and it is all our government, we must rememeber that.
