NewNation Celebration Against RNC

New York City, July 24, 2004

Twelve hours of celebration and sedition,
libation and liberation, in the midst of
bliss and blasphemy we declare our
independence and build our newnation.

From 6pm to 6am, July 24th we will reclaim
the broken banks of Brooklyn. Hosted at
10 Jay St. in Dumbo, we have 60,000sqft of
outdoor space nestled against the East River
and 13,000sqft of brick caverns split into
several rooms of sound, performance and
spontaneous acts.

Anarsistanbul Calls Your Imagination To Aaction
Have you ever thought bombs dropping on your head while you are sitting at home peacefully? Or the soldiers experimenting the latest military technology on you while you are walking in the street?

Massacres like these happen every day, every moment, every where in the world. And the main actors of these massacres are meeting in Istanbul. The army of capitalism’s global dominance projects, NATO, global torturers and murderers will be in Istanbul on the 28-29th of June. They will gather to prepare a scenario of exploitation, massacre, humiliation, migration and ecological destruction. In the name of “war against terrorism”, they will try to spread their bloody plans all around our region and seize our lives.

We shall not let the torturer murderers' usurpation scenarios towards our region which they are planning to declare in Istanbul. They weren’t welcomed in Iraq, let’s show them they will not be welcomed in Istanbul too. Let’s show them that our region will be not the home of military bases of NATO but the home of the struggle of bread, justice and freedom!
