Welcome to my salute to Jello Biafra, one of the most versatile, hardworking, and relentless people of all history. He's done nearly everything, and is one of the few people that influence me. He was the lead singer for the Dead Kennedys. He's toured as a spoken word artist. He ran for mayor of San Fransisco. He defended himself and fought for his constitutional rights. He is a real american role model, not some loser athlete or pop star, but a guy that does what he believes and shouts it to the world. |

General Questions about DK/Jello/AT? Go to my
DK page! Hi. My name is Otter, I'm an activist in Eugene, Oregon, and I'm writing to help get the word out about two Eugene anarchists/activists who are being set up for a major fall. They are being charged with ten counts of arson, nine of which are felonies, adding up to 86 years if convicted on everything. It might just be a shotgun attack by the DA hoping something will stick, but they are innocent and one of the incidents is suspicious enough to ring cointelpro bells... there was an incendiary device supposedly found by a gasoline truck in the Whiteaker neighborhood in Eugene, which if it had gone off would have done a huge amount of damage and possibly killed a bunch of people. This is obviously not something anybody in the movement would do, and may very well be a deliberate attempt to discredit anarchism and fuel the paranoia. We need people to know about this case. Please call Eugene Peaceworks for more info (541)343-8548 or write to eae@efn.org (Eugene Active Existence). We are Under Fire at this point and need all the support we can get. Thank you!! Otter Jello Biafra Ordered To Pay Ex-Dead Kennedys Bandmates $200,000. Jurors find that former Dead Kennedys singer failed to pay back royalties, adequately promote catalog.

Also...If were able to print it out successfully, please mail me. I need confirmed feedback. 
The time is now...I have made my first Jello/Mumia flyer. It is in the PDF format, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat to view it (get it at adobe.com). It should print fine no matter what. Click the pic. I recommend that you either print it on a laser printer, or on ink jet with semi-decent paper (don't make copies from a bad print if possible-- all text must be readable). Please, make lots of copies. Take them to punk shows, or to schools, or just plaster them all around your town (bonus points if you tape one to the front doors of a newspaper company or police station). Spread the word. I've heard others have taken them to shows with some success, and have gotten band members talking. The Collective has moved to www.greens.org/jellobiafra. Go.Jello has announced that he will indeed run! He has selected Mumia Abu-Jamal as his running mate (controversial "cop-killer" on death row). You MUST visit that link! e-mail begins here XXXXXXXXX(Name trimmed out) Subject: Jello Nominated 4 Prez Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 00:55:59 -0500 Yo, Saw your website http://www.oocities.org/CapitolHill/Congress/2503/main.html At the NY statewide assembly of the Green Party of the New York, which was held last weekend at SUNY New Paltz, someone nominated Jello Biafra for President of the United States. It was an unidentified bald punk rock kid with sunglasses who made the motion, claiming to be Jello's "representative," but after I spoke with him and his friends in person it turned out he was just fooling around. Nevertheless, the NYS Green Assembly put him on the primary ballot anyway, for general vote this Spring, along side Ralph Nader and some other old coots. Now Jello has called back and says he's actually interested, is already a registered Green (is Nader?...), and people are starting to take a serious look at all this. Wouldn't that be a blast, to have Jello running against Bush & Gore?! He could win!! Everyone in NY interested in seeing this happen should register to vote as Green and pull the lever for Jello at this coming spring presidential primary...

Intriguing, eh? Jello may have to take his ex-band members to court. See my DK page for details. |
