The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

Scuttlebutt P.S.

June 29 2007

Apologies for P.S. Sometimes there is not enough time to handle all the news in one post.

About the most recent inquiries-- it's been pointed out a few times that MIM does not use definite articles correctly. Damn, how MIM messes with grammar, but we always advise our readers to go for content. Hence, if the FBI is so intimately involved in your life that you even miss various spies who used to tail you all the time, you don't say "the cupcakes," "the sweetypies," "the Susan" or "the George," because you just say "FBI."

Why do they call it "greenback"? There's nothing naive or environmental about money. Just listening to the word, who would want a "greenback"? Shouldn't it be another color?

Honestly, MIM knows Ward Churchill's work, but in reply to the questions, we don't know anything about Colorado. As usual, the unbelievable elements of the story seem to get bigger. Best not to ask us about Colorado. People trying to tell us about Colorado, it would be tough for us to figure out. We're hoping to shut up now and have things work out. True story: Michael Moore owes us $75.

About sources--MIM usually sees several sources before saying something. So people should not fear being MIM sources in general. If there is something that has to go through one hand, there is one hand that is very difficult to take out of action. It could be done, but it would be extremely costly.

Easy answer--if I were trying to buy out Ward Churchill and alumni were going to cough up more money for Colorado without him there, I would have the legislature offer Ward Churchill $100 million for a non-profit foundation for prisoner education and First Amendment rights, see if he bites. MIM has no idea though.
