Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army #1
Unofficial Communiqué #1 - 5th November 2003.


To her majesty the queen, ladies and gentlemen of the press, neighbours, fellow
motley rebels and comrade clowns of the world,

We the men and women of the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) are
celebrating the auspicious news that for the first time in over 500 years, a
fool is being allowed back into the Palace on official business .


From the 19th- - 21st of November 2003, royalty will once again be
honored with
the companionship of a clown, who in time honored tradition will be free to
laugh in the face of majesty and given leave to speak truth to power.

However it has been brought to the notice of the CIRCA that this new jester
will be none other than the president of the United States, George W Bush (AKA
Dubya). Despite his aptitude for grotesque grimaces, his slapstick routines
with pretzels and his enviable promotion of the absurd, the CIRCA believes that
Dubya will not honor the dignified role of palace fool. His pathetic lies
(Iraq's WDM's), his blatant stealing (presidential election) and his desire to
spread global misery (promoting neo-conservative capitalism) disqualify him for
the job of court jester. His jokes will not be peppered with wisdom and his
mocking words will be filled with deception, rather than insight.

We must not allow this false fool to make fun of our noble queen and escape
with impunity; it is an insult to all citizens and clowns of the world. At an
emergency meeting of the CIRCA decentralised committee, the following demand
was made: That the Royal Household rescind Dubya's invitation and in his place
employ a court jester worthy of the title.

If these demands are not met by midnight on the 16th of November
2003, the CIRCA
will muster its forces and prepare for an assault on the palace, using any
(ridiculous) means possible.

In the name of the glorious, ongoing, insurrectionary festival of red-nosed
resistance, we call on all stripes of silly, ludicrous, anti-authoritarian
clowns to be on a state of alert and arm themselves with oversized pretzels,
custard pies, stepladders and bad jokes. New recruits are welcome to contact
us for details of trainings to take place on Monday 17th November in London.


These are the best and worse times. These are rare moments in history where we
wobble between hope and despair. But remember that all empires fall (often by
flat on their face) Ha ha ha!

Yours with rebellious giggles, chortles, chuckles, hoots, cackles, sniggers and
guffaws....we are everywhere
