Aug. 30th Release Date…..

fi5e — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 07:44:21 +0000

I received word from James via an email forwarded from the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. They visited him on Friday and report that he is in good health and eager to get back home. He was arrested 5 days ago in Beijing for “upsetting public order” and is now serving 10 days for suspicion of activities in regards to his affiliation with the organization Students for a Free Tibet. He has not been formally charged through the judicial system and should not be subject to further judicial proceedings. According to the authorities he will be released Aug. 30th and allowed to depart China. The Embassy stated that it continues to advocate on his behalf at the highest levels and monitors his case around the clock. Updates will continue here and at fffff.at

Official NSA/Verizon Grand Opening

fi5e — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:49:54 +0000

The Graffiti Research Lab has officially renamed The Verizon Communications Corporation in a ceremony supervised by the U.S. Department of Homeland Graffiti to celebrate the July 9th FISA Legislation granting telecommunication companies retroactive immunity from legal action in cases of warrantless and unconstitutional wiretapping. Under its new name, The National Security Administration, the behemoth telecom will enjoy a greater degree of freedom from assault by litigious U.S. citizens when breaking the law and capitulating to the Bush administration. Thank god for liberal senators like Barack Obama who are looking out for the little guys like AT&T, BellSouth and other major telecom companies. When asked about the FISA provision, NSA/Verizon chairman and CEO Ivan Seidenberg, said, “This is a big new step for our company and our investors.” He continued, “Now we ARE the government, so fuck you… try to stop us! Mwahaha!”

Stay tuned for more action from the GRL’s latest WMD, the L.A.S.E.R. Stencil, aka the Green Lantern, in its international debut.
