'Histories that tell another story are written to teach, and what they teach is to live that history'
- Joseph Kossuth as quoted in Kwstis: 2003

Radical Acts

While the Cypriot F.M. states, on BBC Radio 4, that he had other 'important engagements' during the last referendum campaign, that in effect he was 'too busy' 'for the sake of the Cypriot people', and that is why he did not campaign for the endorsement of a 'yes' vote, in a last attempt not to proclaim his political incapacity, his diplomatic stupidity and his lack of any rigid argument in why he followed his president Ta(t)SSos 'poulos and his phobic master James (call me Thomas the Non-Believer) Christ-I-made-it-to-the-chair; I AM NOT LEAVING NOW, and with 'poulos, according to AP and as reported on www.bbc.co.uk/news, threatening a 'veto' even before he enters the EU (!!!!) to any measure that directly or indirectly recognises a Turkish/Cypriot 'state' [something not even the T/C do not want - although they are not less opportunistic than the tourist-based Paphos 85%+ of 'No' voters], evident of his 'ego papas ego tatas' style of nationalism (I refuse to credit him with political insight to ideological frameworks - the above quote speaks beyond the lines of itself) the lonely yet noisy expedition in live-lo-graphemes has always, already been enunciated.
Until the whole political spectrum of Cyprus gets a nervous breakdown, or decide to sue me (the legal secretaries of the state or of private firms can contact me via demetris_taliotis@yahoo.com), or simply gets bombarded with eggs and food waste on every public appearance untill they realise that they are stinking rotten [you read it here first - I give you 6 months before the first mass eggs&cream-cake attck takes place, and I am a pessimist by nature!] I will exercise my right in cultural terrorism. Dialogue at the moment is nothing but a moronic concession to FASCISM and its Modus Operandi (aka Media, Legalistic and Technocratic a prioris and pure and simple inarticulation - imagine a dialogue with Giorgos Iakovou and 'Poulos as the representatives of the Cypriot goverment. No wonder the Swiss Dialogues of April 2004 failed!)

That passengers would find it much
To lose their lives, as well as spoil their diet;
That even the able seaman, deeming his
Days nearly o'er, might be dispos'd to riot,
As upon such occasions tars will ask
For grog, and sometimes drink rum from the cask.

There's nought, no doubt, so much the spirit calms
As rum and true religion: thus it was,
Some plunder'd, some drank spirits, some sung psalms,
The high wind made the treble, and as bass
The hoarse harsh waves kept time; fright cur'd the qualms
Of all the luckless landsmen's sea-sick maws:
Strange sounds of wailing, blasphemy, devotion,
Clamour'd in chorus to the roaring ocean.

"Now convalescence is like a return towards childhood. The convalescent, like the child, is possessed in the highest degree of the faculty of keenly interesting himself in things, br they apparently of the most trivial. Let us go back, if we can, by a retrospective effort of the immagination, towards our most youthful, our earliest, impressions, and we will recognize that they had astrange kinship with those brightly coloured impressions which we werelater to receive in theaftermath of a physical illness, always provided that that illness had left our spiritual capacities pure and unharmed. The child sees everything in a stateof newness; he is always drunk."

"Whether these men [and women] are nicknamed exquisites, incoroyables, beaux, lions or dandies, they all spring from the same womb; they all partake of the same characteristic quality of opposition and revolt; they are all representative of what is finest in human pride, of that compelling need, alas only too rare today, of combating and destroying triviality. It is from this that the dandies obtain that haughty exclussiveness, provocative i its very coldness. Dandyism appears above all in periods of transition, when democracy is not yet all-powerful, and aristocracy is only just beggining to totter and fall. In the disorder of these times, certain men who are socially, politically and financially ill at ease, but are rich in native energy, may conceive the idea of establishing a new kind of aristocracy, all the more difficult to shatter as it will based on the most precious, the most enduring facilities, and on the divine gifts which work and money are unable to bestow. Dandyism is the last spark of heroism amid decadence.(...) Dandyism is a sunset; like the declining daystar, it is glorious, without heat and full of melancholy..."

Charles Baudelaire, The painter of Modern Life

'To all tomorrow's parties

[...] And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door' - Lou Reed

ectoplasmic eczema mass mezes draws into
and marks as cancerous and who the fuck is
that eurinates into box that ding boom round
and round and round everywhere decides to
form and oil draw line between
to mark as supplementary, scar(r)ed οστεοφυλάκιον
(no parking dead belt), to translate an identity great
grandfather looks severely strict lunches stripped
bare in an infinite regress plate (room spring echo
hall) narcissus condemned to speak quoting/unable
to see other than self, as that other grand father
fairies follow trails; fairy trace
never say no to cry baby cry and then
merge into the ectoplasma 'βάλε jάλλο
μεν αντρέπεσε' (the room, you're part
of the room, topos tropos trofos tokos
tik tik tik tok)
and tomorrow know for today maybe
the good lord will take the wrong step
and fall flat in the face of beloved
and will cry cry cry
shame on
to follow the ghost, (Hamlet was
surely Shakespeare's), to remember, to fall for
you who (ectoplasma)
plate is full and never
(we are entering the fields of saturn)
empties already below δυσπεψία but also δυσκοιλιώτης,
hemaetic, desire towards or
the abjection of earth
to cut off the cancer to all tomorrows masses
of a spring that is more of a revelation than a ressurection
['Και ειδον, και ηκουσα ενος αετου πετομενου εν
μεσουρανηματι λεγοντος φωνη μεγαλη, Ουαι ουαι

φωνων της σαλπιγγος των τριων αγγελων των μελλοντων
σαλπιζειν.' Αποκάλυψις Ιωάννου 8:13]
of an essence that is more an ever rediscovered curse than blessing
of a crowd that speaks of answers to something that
is not really a question
of homes that taste more sweet

"The whole chaotic constellation of the social revovlves around the spongy referent, that opague but equally translucent reality, that nothingness: the masses. A statistical crystal ball, the masses are 'swirling with curent flows', in the image of matter and the natural elements. So at least they are represented to us. THey can be "mesmerized", the social envelops them, like static electricity; but most of the time, precisely, the form an earth, that is they absorb all they electricity of the social and political and neutralise it forever. ... (T)he masses have no history to write, neither past nor future, thay have no virtual energies to release, nor any desire to fullfill: their strenght is actual, in the present, and sufficient unto itself. It consists in their silence...a silence which refuses to be spoken for in its name... They don't express themselves, they are tested. The referendum (and the media are a constant referendum of directed questions and answers) has been substituted for the political referent...Everywhere the masses are encouraged to speak, they ate urged to live socially, electronically, organisationally, sexually, in participation, in festival, in free speech, etc. The spectre must be exorcised, it must pronounce its name.... Out of this private and asocial universe, which does not enter into a dialectic of representation and of transcendence towards the universal, out of this involutive sphere wich is opposed to all revolution from the top and refuses to play the game, some would like to make a new source of revolutionary energy...Banality, inertia, apoliticism ised to be fascist; they are in the process of becoming revolutionary...Micro-revolution of banality, transpolitics of desire - one more trick of the "liberationists". The denial of meaning has no meaning... For us an utenable hypothesis: that it may be possible to communicate outside the medium of meaning...by an allergy to reference, to the message, to the code and to every category of the linguistic enterprise, by a repudation of all this in favour of imploding the sign in fascination (no longer any signified:absorption of the poles of signification). None of the guardians of meaning can understand this: the whole morality of meaning rises uop against fascination...."

"And so, not knowing how to believe in God and unable to beleive in an aggregate of animals, I, along with other people on the fringe, kept a distance from things, a distance commonly called Decadene. Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of a life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating."
Fernando Pessoa The Book Of Disquiet
