Mastered at NSC (National Sound Corporation), Detroit.

Combining a grubby, four-track aesthetic, an almost strictly DIY business philosophy, and an oppositional, militaristic ethos similar to Public Enemy without the drama (or the familiarity; the members refuse to be photographed without bandanas obscuring their identities), UR have redirected their portion of the Detroit techno legacy to social activist ends, trading mainstream popularity and financial success for independence and self-determination. Begun in the early '90s by second-wave trinity Jeff Mills, "Mad" Mike Banks, and Robert "Noise" Hood, UR adapted the flavor and kick of early Detroit techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances in the wake of Reagan-era accelerated inner-city decline, and was formed as an outlet for uncompromising music geared toward awareness and change. The early UR catalog is defined by a typically Detroit combination of Motown and Chicago soul, and ruthless, at times caustic lo-fi techno, acid, and electro (Mills' background is in, among other things, Chicago industrial and EBM-style electro-techno, with Banks and Hood both coming from a solid house and techno base). Much of the label's early output was the product of various permutations of Banks, Mills, and Hood, both solo and in combination, before Mills and Hood left UR in 1992 to pursue (and achieve) international success. Banks continued to operate UR in the wake of the split, releasing EPs such as "Return of Acid Rain," "Message to the Majors," and "Galaxy to Galaxy" under the UR banner, as well as 12-inches by increasingly renowned artists such as Drexciya, Suburban Knight and Scan 7. The first actual full-length credited to Underground Resistance was 1998's Interstellar Fugitives. When the UR and Submerge Headquarters moved from 2030 Grand River to 3000 E Grand Blvd., the UR 'family' transformed again by assigning new members such as DJ 3000, S², The Aquanauts, Buzz Goree and most notably the live band Los Hermanos.

 | WAR SONG. DEDICATED TO WARRIOR CRAZY HORSE.. First image is the picture of Crazy Horse..becouse he dont liked to be photographed-no proved photograph of him exist..only this picture....than the photograph of his friend- chef He Dog appear...Shaman and Warior Sitting Bull and other chefs... General Croog... war...masacre at Wouden Knee..but at the end Sitting Bull appear as a spirit...yes he said "I know that Great Spirit established Me as a chef of this country!" and that is The true Mr... U.S.A! Michal Ičo. . . Interview with He Dog, Oglala, S.D. July 7, 1930 Thomas White Cow Killer, Interpreter . . I will be glad to tell you about Crazy Horse or any others of our old time chiefs about whom you may wish to know because I am an old man now and shall not live many years longer and it is time for me to tell these things. Whatever I tell you will be the exact truth, because I was in a position to know what I talk about. There are a lot of old Indians hanging about the reservation who like to talk to the white people and would just as soon tell you anything, whether it is true or not. They are men whom we would not have had as servants, those of us who were Chiefs in the old days. I and Crazy Horse were both born in the same year and at the same season of the year. We grew up together in the same band, played together, courted the girls together and fought together. I am now ninety-two years old, so you can figure out in what year he was born by your calendar. When we were 17 or 18 years old we separated. Crazy Horse went to the Rosebud Band (that is to the Brules, of whom Spotted Tail was Chief a little later) of Indians and stayed with them for about a year. Then he came home. After he had been back for a while, I made inquiries about why he had left the Rosebud band. I was told he had to come back because he had killed a Winnebago woman. (According to ancient Lakota custom, coup could be counted on an enemy woman if she was killed in the sight of the fighting men of her tribe. The theory was that the enemy would fight even harder to protect or avenge one of their women than one of their men. But the Brules were already agency Indians and the authorities took a different attitude about it. Apparently Crazy Horse himself changed his mind about the ethics of this custom if the speech of his reported by Captain Hans in "The Great Sioux Nation" is correct). Less than a year after Crazy Horse left camp, I joined in a trip against the Crow Indians. WHen I got home, the crier was announcing that Crazy Horse was back in camp. Only his name was not Crazy Horse at that time. He has three names at different times of his life. His name until he was about ten years old was Curly Hair. Later, from the time he was ten until the time he was about eighteen years of age, he was called His-Horse-On-Sight, but this name did not stick to him. When he was about eighteen years old there was a fight with the Arapahos who were up on a high hill covered with big rocks and near a river. Although he was just a boy, he charged them several times alone and came back wounded but with two Arapaho scalps. His father, whose name was Crazy Horse, made a feast and gave his son his own name. After that, the father was no longer called by the name he had given away, but was called by a nickname, Worm. Crazy Horse, the son, was one of three children. The oldest was a Sister, the next was Crazy Horse, and the third was a Brother. All are dead now. When we were young men, the Oglala band divided into two parts, one led by Red Cloud and one by Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse, the elder. I and Crazy Horse stayed with the part led by Man-Afraid-Of-His-Horse. Later this half subdivided again into two parts. I stayed with the more Northern half of which I and Big Road, and later Holy Bald Eagle and Red Cloud, were appointed joint Chiefs ("shirt wearers", so called from a particular kind of ceremonial shirt worn by this class of chieftain as insignia of office). Crazy Horse remained with the Southern quarter of the tribe. The council of this division awarded the chieftainship to Crazy Horse, American Horse, Young-Man-Afraid-Of-His-Horse, and Sword. It was many years after our first battles before we were made Chiefs. A man had to distinguish himself in many fights and in peace as well before he could be chosen as a Chief. (After consultation together, He Dog and the interpreter dated these appointments as having been made about 1865 by the white man's calendar) The name of Crazy Horse's band was the Hunkpatila (End of Circle) band because when the tribe was encamped together it occupied one end of the tribal crescent. At about the time these appointments were made Crazy Horse moved towards the White Mountains (Indian name of the Big Horn Mountains). Crazy Horse and I went together on a war trip to the other side of the mountains. When we came back, the people came out of the camp to meet us and escorted us back and at a big ceremony presented us with two spears, the gift of the whole tribe, which was met together. These spears were each three or four hundreds years old and were given by the older generation to those in the younger generation who had best lived the life of a warrior. Crazy Horse was still single when he was made a "shirt wearer". A few years after this he began to pay attention to the wife of a man named No Water. No Water did not want to let the woman go. In the Battle "When They Chased The Crows Back To Camp", (1870) He Dog and Crazy Horse were the lance bearers of the Kangi Yuhn (Crow Owner's Society). About ten days after that battle Crazy Horse started off on a smaller war expedition and No Water's wife went along with him. No Water followed them and came to the tipi of Bad Heart Bull and asked to borrow a certain good revolver (Bad Heart Bull was a brother of He Dog and is now dead) which Bad Heart Bull owned. He said he wanted to go hunting. Crazy Horse and the woman were sitting by the fire in a tipi belonging to some of their friends. No Water entered the tipi, walked up to Crazy Horse as near as I am to that stove (about four feet) and shot him through the face. The bullet entered just below the left nostril. That is how Crazy Horse got his scar. No Water took his wife back. Because of all this, Crazy Horse could not be a "shirt wearer" any longer. When we were made Chiefs, we were bound by very strict rules as to what we should do and what not do, which were very hard for us to follow. I have never spoken to nay but a very few persons of what they made us promise them. I have always kept the oaths I made then, but Crazy Horse did not. Later on the older, more responsible men of the tribe conferred another kind of Chieftainship on Crazy Horse. He was made War Chief of the whole Oglala tribe. A similar office was conferred on Sitting Bull by the Hunkpapa tribe. This was still early, a long, long time before the Custer fight. At this time the government did not know who we were. Crazy Horse always led his men himself, when they went into battle, and he kept well in front of them. He headed many charges and was many times wounded in battle, but never seriously. He never wore a war bonnet. A medicine man named Chips had given him power if he would wear in battle an eagle bone whistle and one feather and a certain round stone with a hole in it. He wore the stone under his left arm, suspended by a leather thong that went over his shoulder. The one central feather that is in the middle of the war eagle's tail, that was the feather he wore in his hair. (He Dog denied with a chuckle, various stories told about how Crazy Horse on certain occasions threw away his rifle and charged in with a war club or a riding quirt, a characteristic Indian mode of seeking death in battle) Crazy Horse always stuck close to his rifle. He always tried to kill as many as possible of the enemy without losing his own men. He never spoke in council and attended very few. There was no special reason for this, it was just his nature. He was a very quiet man except when there was fighting. Crazy Horse was married three times. The first time was to No Water's wife, but she only stayed with him a few days. Shortly after that he married Red Feather's sister. By her he had one child, a little girl who died when about two years old. A long while after, when he had surrendered at Ft. Robinson, he married a young half-breed girl. He did not have any children by her. |

 | LTTE -"Voice of the Nation" Bala ANNA - TAMIL EELAM LOST HIM Tamil Eelam's voice aka "Voice of the Nation" has gone to long sleep now. Dr. Anton Balasingam. What is Tamil Eelam? Tamil Eelam is a de facto state in Indian Ocean. It is located below the Tamil Nadu state of India and in the North East of Sri Lanka. The state of Tamil Eelam has been established by the people living there under the right of self determination given by International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights , Article 1, to which Sri Lanka is a signatory. The proposed size of the independent nation of Tamil Eelam is 19,509 km². This makes Tamil Eelam the 153 largest country/independent territory in the world. There are a total of 232 country/independent territories in the world. Tamil Eelam would be larger than East Timor at 14,874 km², which is the newest formed country in the world. East Timor gained independence after 24 years of Indonesia occupation on May 20, 2002. Why did Tamils in Sri Lanka want Tamil Eelam? Sri Lanka, which was renamed in Sinhala in 1972, had been called as Ceylon by British during colonial times. Before 1833, the Tamil people were under different administration. They had their own kingdoms, culture and language which are very different from those of Sinhalese until 1505. The first colonial invasion took place in 1505. British brought Tamils and Sinhalese under one administration in 1833 and called this new colony as Ceylon. When the British left in 1948, the 20% Tamils were left with 80% Sinhalese within a unitary country where the decisions were taken by democratic parliament system. Under this system, racially polarised Sinhalese and Tamils were ruled by the constant majority of Sinhalese against the democratic wishes of Tamils as Tamils were the constant minority. Who is the leader of Tamil Eelam? Vellupillai Pirabakaran, the leader of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is the present National Leader of Tamil Eelam. His supported by a council of commanders who establish policy on everything from law and order to economic. The policy of the LTTE is that this is an interim solution until democratic elections can be held. Is Tamil Eelam a communist idea? No. Tamil Eelam is the home land of highly religious Hindu, Christian and Islamic Tamil speaking people. Tamils of Tamil Eelam are from the ancient times, known for their trade and commerce. Tamil Eelam will be a democratic country once it become independent. Tamil Eelam is expected to be a socialist state. Just like the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka. What is the present state of Tamil Eelam? Presently, some Northern and Eastern parts of Tamil Eelam are under the Tamil Eelam administration. Although a war is going on, Tamil Eelam administration functions very effectively to achieve self reliance and self sufficiency. There are forty eight essential items were banned by Sri Lankan authorities to the de facto state of Tamil Eelam. Some of them are now allowed by the new government with the expectation that the people of Tamil Eelam would give up their right to chose their political status freely. Is there religious freedom in Tamil Eelam? Not only religious freedom, but the people are encouraged to follow their own religion by Tamil Eelam administration even under the severe war conditions and economic ban. The Christian, mainly Catholic and Hindu religious leaders are always provided all the support needed for their religious freedom. Islam, however, is not being practiced presently, as the Muslims have been asked to leave the Tamil Eelam territory until the independence of Tamil Eelam. The Muslims supported the aggressive Sri Lankan Sinhala and Muslim Military against the freedom of Tamil Eelam. Can any one travel to Tamil Eelam? Yes. Like in any other countries, for Tamil Eelam also the immigration and emigration laws are applicable at the borders. Since a war is going on for the independence, several additional restrictions are imposed on travellers for national security reasons and for the security of the life of travellers. What are the Islands of Sri Lanka? Included in the traditional homeland of the Tamil in Sri Lanka are a series of seven islands off the northern coast. These islands are: • Kayts • Mandaitivu • Eluvaitivu • Paraittivu • Analaitivu • Nainativu • Punkudutivu • Delft • Mannar What are some of the natural resources in Tamil Eelam? Ilmenite, Rutile, and Zircon Sri Lanka's north-east Pulmoddai coastline consists of mineral-rich sand. The 60 to 70 percent heavy minerals concentration of ilmenite, rutile and zircon are considered on of the best in the world. The main deposit consists of around 60 percent ilmenite, eight percent rutile and 8-10 percent zircon. Ilmenite, a black, heavy, metallic oxide mineral, is the major source of titanium, a metal valued for its high strength and light weight. Titanium's strength is such that it can withstand very high temperatures and is non-corrosive. Titanium is used in the construction high-performance military aircraft and rockets, space capsule skins, armour plate, aircraft firewalls, jet engine components, landing gears, submarines, and engine parts (as an alloy). Rutile, on the other hand, is mainly used in the titanium metal industry and in welding rods. Zircon is in demand in the ceramic industry for high quality glazing, foundries, and electrical items. Since September 1997, there has been little attempt to mine this mineral wealth. Production stopped after the Tiger attack sank a Lanka Mineral Sands cargo ship loaded with ilmenite anchored one kilometre off the beach. Pulmoddai is considered one of the best mineral sites in the world, with a heavy mineral content of 60 to 70 percent compared to beach deposits in Australia, a big producer, where the concentration is only five percent. Surveys commissioned by Lanka Mineral Sands indicate that the heavy minerals actually come from the island's interior, after being washed down by rivers such as the Mahaweli, Sri Lanka's longest river. New surveys, both onshore and offshore, estimate there are more than 12 million tonnes of heavy minerals in Pulmoddai and other nearby untapped areas, all on the east coast. They estimate that the reserves could last 25 to 30 years at the rate it was mined in the past. The state-run company's earning capacity reflects the wealth of this area: it was earning around 300 million rupees (about 3.3 million U.S. dollars) annually during its peak. So much so that until the Tigers struck in 1997, Lanka Mineral Sands, which pays royalty to the government for the mining rights, was the most profitable venture among state companies. Salt Prior to 1990 Elephant Pass and Kurunchativu located 10km apart had the largest salterns in the northeast with a combined area of 100 acres, and produced more than 85,000 metric tons of salt a year. The salt production in this area was sufficient in 1990 to meet all of Sri Lanka's needs and for export to other countries such as Singapore from Kurikattuvan harbor. The British monopolized all salt production in Sri Lanka under their control in 1938 with the establishment of the Salt Department in the wake of the 'Salt Satyagraha' by Mahatma Gandhi in India. The Salt Department was made the National Salt Corporation in 1966. All salterns in Sri Lanka were under the corporation before 1990. The salt production stopped in 1990 to 2000 when the Sri Lankan Army Elephant Pass garrison removed timber lining the edges of salt pans were removed by the SLA for military purposes. What are some Quotes on Eelam? 'I was once asked by an Englishman connected with the British Refugee Council: 'You say Tamil Eelam, but where are the boundaries of this Tamil Eelam that you talk about? Show me.' I was taken aback by the directness of the question. I thought for a while, searching for an appropriate response. Then I replied: 'Take a map of the island. Take a paint brush and paint all the areas where Sri Lanka has bombed and launched artillery attacks during these past several years. When you have finished, the painted area that you see - that is Tamil Eelam.''' - Sathasivam Krishnakumar (Col Kittu) Zurich, on Maha Veerar Naal, in November 1990 |
 | Come Back, Little Sheba (1977 TV) Joanne Woodward, part 8/9 play by William Inge Inge grew up in Independece, Kansas. He wrote "Come Back, Little Sheba" while a teacher at Washington University in St. Louis. He quit this position after the play was picked up for Broadway, and moved to the big city. "I've always been glad that I grew up in Independence, because I feel it gave me a knowledge of people and a love of people. I've often wondered how people raised in our great cities ever develop any knowledge of humankind. People who grow up in small towns get to know each other so much more closely than they do in cities. Independence I'll always remember as a beautiful little town with enormous shady trees and lots of fine spacious homes. I'll always remember the celebrations of Halloween and the city park there with its winding drive around the sad old Verdigris River. And the old wives' tale that the Indians had left a curse on the river, that it would take one life a year in vengeance on the white man for having usurped the land. I always remember the fine tennis courts and the swimming pool and the ball park where night games first were played anywhere in the nation. Independence lies in the very heart of our country, and so maybe its people have more heart in human affairs. Big people come out of small towns." -- William Inge, for the 1970 Independence Centennial Laurence Olivier ... Doc Delaney Joanne Woodward ... Lola Delaney Patience Collier ... Mrs. Coffman Bruce Boa ... Ed Ed Devereaux ... Elmo Directed by Silvio Narizzano |
