(from the Open Newswire): On Tuesday I came across an anti-war activist standing on traffic signal pole in Astor Place. A sign attached to the pole read, "WAR?" and on his chest was written "All American." The "ONE WAY" signs were changed to read, "NO WAR."

Apparently he stayed up there for almost two hours before the NYPD took him down.

Eric, I hope you're reading this. I just wanted to add my support and let you know that I think you are FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!!

It's not going to be easy for you; I have seen you discredited as "emotionally disturbed" by this emotionally disturbed country.

As long as someone in this madhouse retains enough sanity to do what you did, I think I can take one more breath, look myself in the eye while I brush my teeth this morning, and make breakfast for my little boy.

Thank you, Eric.

"Real" - you're an idiot. He's not INSULTING christianity, he is merely using a powerful "symbol" in which to say something meaninful about the war in iraq, not the war in christianity. If anyone would sympathize with what this man has done (ie, preach peace in a world of violence and idolitry), it would be Jesus himself. Way to go!!!!

Eric Wallach's actions symbolize what makes America the land of the free. While some may disagree with his actions, we cannot ever dispute nor deny his RIGHT to protest. Take that away and we might as well fly the hammer and sicle.

Mr.Wallach is a patriot in the true and correct sense of the word. Lest we forget, this country was founded on the principles of the right to express one's opinion freely.

Sarcasim Alert! I'm soooooooo glad the authorities have declared this man with his totally inappropriate unAmerican protest against a fair and just war to be emotionally disturbed. Of course, emotionally disturbed is one of those coded terms that allows the inhabitants of the manicured and weedless lawns of suburbia to comfortably disregard the entire affair. There is nothing to see here. Move along. We'll take care of this dangerous man. He won't hurt you. Trust us. We have this protest thing under control. America, go back to your TV and gourmet coffee. There's nothing to see here.

Naturally, the police will issue a statement to the press that the man, Eric Wallach, was "emotionally disturbed" and the press will run with it gleefully. That is standard police procedure along with slapping him with the resisting arrest and disorderly person beefs. It is also standard procedure for the MSM press to portray any protester as a kook.

Wallach's ingenious street theatre war protest was emotionally disturbing, but that was the point, wasn't it ? Wallach juxtaposed powerful symbols to make his statement and the resultant image was provacative. But that is what art is supposed to do: move the emotions of the viewer.

Wallach is an artist and I applaud him.

Not me! I'm 100% normal, an extremely well-adjusted American consumer. I drive an SUV and drink Starbucks coffee. I listen to Britney Spears and watch American Idol, and never think about unpleasant thoughts like war, torture, poverty, corruption, or anything like that.

No sirree, I'm not emotionally disturbed one bit. I can recommend some good anti-depressants if you would like.

He's not two years late! The war still rages on. When my 16 year old daughter saw the photos, she was afraid they would be gross, but I saw her face light up when she saw the ordinary downtown scene with a Jesus figure on the traffic light. It's inspiring to the young, who thought protest had gone out of style. Gives you hope!

Welcome to the USSR. Clearly, anybody who disagrees with the government and has the guts to say it is "emotionally disturbed". I think what he did was a poignant work of art, but what do I know; I'm emotionally disturbed myself. If you're not emotionally disturbed in Bush's America, you're catatonic.

Emotionally disturbed. Well, I've been emotionally disturbed since December of 2000.

It's funny that someone who points out the truth is "emotionally disturbed," while policemen who rape prisoners with broomsticks or beat them senseless are just "misunderstood" guys doing their job.

Nicho, as usual, nails it. I think Mr. Wallach is eminently sane, and probably needs a legal fund. Ah, payday's just around the corner for me.

If courage = emotional disturbance, then I could certainly use more of it.

I second that confession. And raise you a couple more years. Bunnypants was the Governor of my state and instituted a policy that nearly destroyed my wife.

Eric is a brave, genius, artistic patriot whose emotional disturbance should be contagious.

Anybody got a way we can keep track of this? I really want to make sure that this guy doesn't get lost in the back eddies of this adminstration. We can't let him get locked up in Bellevue without anyone going to bat for him. Where can we contribute to his defense or at the very least send him best wishes and thanks for a job well done.

I wasn't getting any info about Mr. Wallach through the usual suspects, so I e-mailed [email protected] to see if they had any way of knowing how we could help him.

Emotionally disturbed? Keenly aware, perhaps. He may be a playwright and theatre director. (Certainly not the lawyer I googled.)

On edit. My link didn't work. Google his name and look for The Brooklyn Rail.

I got the Brooklyn Rail, jackalope, and it sounds as if it could be the Eric Wallach cited. My e-mail to indymed.org had a fatal bounce, so no joy there.

Search on eric+wallach+albee and read the whole interview with Albee. Pay attention to what the interviewer says about war.

I think this is the same guy.

RIDING UNTIL WE GET THERE by Eric Wallach NYC/IMC

-waging peace in Manhattan -

For eight days I rode my bike with a big PEACE sign on the back wearing an upside-down American flag as a cape. I must have clocked over a hundred miles during the convention randomly riding in circles around midtown confronting people, fellow protestors and the Republicans.

Most of the time when I made eye contact I held up my two-fingered peace sign and quietly waited for a response. When I got a positive sign back it felt as if we had made an agreement that we will both act to restore peace and will live peacefully now in order to see peace in the future.

The majority of the people did not respond or would cursed at me. My only wish is that they had to think about their negative response as they saw the word PEACE on the back of my bike. What do they want? War? Hopefully a seed of doubt was planted.

From time to time I sang my own Passover song, “Get Out of Egypt”. The lyrics include: “Bush lied, we cried. The news said he was right. The Constitution has died. So get out and shout tonight.” Sometimes I sang “Here Comes the Sun” with one word changed in the opening lyrics: “Little darling, it seems like years since PEACE has been here.”

Most of the younger cops nodded their support or raised their hands with a thumbs up or a peace sign themselves. Fortunately, no officers actually forced me to stop as long as I kept the flow and didn’t get in the way. My heart goes out to all those patriots who were arrested and their bikes confiscated.

The fluidity and freedom of my bike enabled me to be anywhere and everywhere during the demonstrations. I was able to join the Green Dragon’s Paul Revere ride announcing “The Republicans are coming!” and I was one of the 5,000 bikes in the Critical Mass ride. I walked my bike in the United for Peace and Justice march and rode all over the city during the August 31st day of direct actions.

I saw a live board game of American Oligopoly that had our present Big Business political landscape represented and the Bush crew playing the Kerry party. I also caught the Eyes Wide Open installation in Central Park with boots and shoes representing the troops and civilians killed in Iraq.

On the last night of the convention my bike ride rant boiled down to, “Hey delegates, news flash: Bush is lying to you!” One Republican man mouthed quietly to me that he knew Bush was lying, to which I said, “When you go in your voting booth you don’t have to vote for him.” Before popping into a cab he whispered, “I’m not.”

I’m writing this all down not for self-congratulation but in the hopes that this may inspire other bikers to devise their own signs and songs. Even though the convention is over, it is imperative that we continue our direct confrontation as often as possible. Let’s go to the tourist traps in the City and engage those Americans that need to reconsider their vote.

The work isn’t over when we have so far to go. Let’s divide and conquer.

Power to the peaceful.

Eric Wallach September 5, 2004

It's alright. Don't make fun of me, but I actually do drive an SUV. A relative recently went abroad and gave it to me in her absence, so now I actually do drive an SUV, to my great shame. But I only drive it sparingly, and still ride my bike and use the metro as my primary forms of transportation.

I also drink Starbucks coffee. My aunt likes to give out Starbucks gift cards for Christmas, so I end up drinking about 20 bucks worth of Starbucks coffee a year. I remember when I got arrested at the RNC, when my arresting officer emptied my wallet and came across my Starbucks card, he said, "Hey, I thought you guys hated Starbucks." I said, "Well, I do, but it's a gift card. Of course I'll drink free coffee." I wish I said something like, "Yeah well I thought you guys like donuts."

I think there is a pretty good chance Bush will launch a war against Iran. It is completely insane, but so was invading Iraq. Everything these guys do is insane. The reason I think they will go after Iran is because Iran has switched to the euro for its oil transactions with the EU, and is moving to set up a new oil exchange market called the Bourse. Iran has very strong political and economic ties with Europe, and setting up this Bourse might lead to the euro supplanting the dollar as the world's oil currency. This cannot happen.

The Bushies also have a very keen interest in making sure that the EU's diplomatic efforts do not succeed. If multilateralism proves successful, it will discredit Bush's doctrine of pre-emptive war. This also cannot happen. I think we're going to war.

And by the way, the Eric Wallach, Director and Playwright of "Interview with Edward Albee," from the Brooklyn Rail has the same email as the Eric Wallach from "Riding until we get there."

"Emotionally disturbed"

Anyone who isn't emotionally disturbed by an unnecessary war is pathologically disturbed.

Yeah, good question. They found a weakness in Indymedia's server, got in, and made themselves admins. That gave them privileges to deface the site.

I went to their "site." All locked down tight. Probably tracked that I came from here, which means they may come here to try to hack this site. Hope Smirky's got some hard-ass protection on his servers.

Their "site" seems to be a combo of animé and ratwing extremism. Skins on their forums are all black--interesting choice. They sure got real bent over Eric. Also seem to be "bent" on defending reepers vs. god-boy. Why, I wonder. Is this a new reep front to "attack and defend" the internets from libruls?

How to fight back? Out these little fuckers? I have no server/web/hacker kung-fu at all.

I don't know if "r00ted" vs "routed" means anything. Is it a "piracy" thing like "warez"? I see they can't spell "over sees." What's the Fifth Hope? What wicked ideology? Disagreement with the reep party line?

Curious curious curious. A DeLay mystery--who's the vermin?

Hm. Seems to be a hacker conference. My guess is that the g00ns don't like this group, 'cause it looks like the attendees may be of "The Left." Apparently hacker know-how should only be a privilege of fascists.

Hi glaucon,

Hm. Link from my corn-puter works; no double http, either. Must be something I did in the link.

Try to copy/paste this link: http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/hoop/

Having the hoop in the URL works for me, but maybe that won't work for you, so try without if necessary.

Otherwise google "Fifth Hope" in quotes for lots of links!

I've received a coupla e-mail responses from [email protected], and he mentioned he's getting plenty of legal help. He rather skirted the issue of whether he was going to get hammered on the fees, but did give me sound advice on those beastly "patriotic" magnetic ribbons. Just move 'em to cover the fuel door.

Wallach's ingenious street theatre war protest was emotionally disturbing, but that was the point, wasn't it ? Wallach juxtaposed powerful symbols to make his statement and the resultant image was provacative. But that is what art is supposed to do: move the emotions of the viewer.

Wallach is an artist and I applaud him.

I applaud this talented artist with a big BUMP. I wish the sleeping Americans do rise and see this man's art and condemn what the power hungry white house officials have done to this country.

Shame on the coward police officials for being unkind to the real person and using their unfair authorities in an unlawful manner.

I want a free press we use to have instead of the shameful press we now have.

I wish I can get back my pre 2000 America back.

To those who have read this article,

Thank you for your kind words and wishes

I'm sure I'll be able to deal with my legal issues. I've been charged with Disorderly conduct (a violation) and Obstruction of Governmental Administration in the second degree (a misdemeanor, piunishable up to a year in jail) - that's because I was standing in front of the street signs. All my lawyer friends say I have a good case.

The event went off very well. The image was clear and the message got out.

The cops and the "criminals" I met in The System were respectful and supportive.

The story got on a couple of news channels and published in a couple of newspapers. (FYI: The Associated Press and New York Times were notified but would not come downtown for just one person's protest ...)

See my neighborhood paper's account: http://www.thevillager.com/villager_104/thepassionofastor.html

I hope as you do that those who want a future free of war will create their own actions. If one person takes a stab at the war racketeers everyday, we'll certainly slow them down, til one day, the machine will stop.

I believe as you do. We'll get there one day.

Til peace shines on I'll remain ripe for the fight

Sincerely,

Eric

Forward please.

Eric, thank you so much for your brave act of defiance. It was truly inspirational, something that I will remember and keep in mind for quite some time.

Every time I have second thoughts about committing some act of protest that puts my soul on the line and opens me up to ridicule, I will think of your crucifixion protest in New York City, and remember your bravery. I hope everyone else does too.

Thanks again, and the best of luck with your case. For what it's worth, I'm currently suing New York for my unlawful arrest during the RNC. Hopefully our lawsuit affects your case in some way. Hopefully they decide to dismiss your charges.

Solidarity forever,

Dag

Eric,

Could you speak to the issue of how you view the relationship between theater and protest? Has your interest in the theater affected how you plan and execute your public works of "art?"

Or am I being too frigging cerebral?

on edit: I place art in quotation marks, not in order to belittle it, but to acknowledge that many people do not view public protest as a form of theater.

Disorderly conduct I can understand, I would still fight it though because it is a crap charge that doesn’t over write the first amendment. The second one made me sit up though, what sort of… Obstruction of Governmental Administration? What the hell, that just makes all protests illegal in that one move. Besides how did you obstruct any administration at all? You weren’t hanged up inside city hall, blocking the doorway to a court room or something of the likes…

Crap charges, fight them my friend and you should easily win. You have my best wishes for it. Some people think protesting is the whole fight, but it is only one of the many fights to come. If they get away with locking up protestors, then we won’t have a voice either. Fight all the charges and win, then bring around charges of your own. Hurt them financially and it will become better for the city to ignore non-violent protestors then arrest them en-masses for no charges or stupid ones like these.

You have our support, and the support of nearly everyone who saw the protest.



Posted: 2005-04-30 21:40

Ebwally, many thanks for expressing yourself. We lose our rights if we do not practice them.

I applaud the concept, execution (oops), and the entire theatrical insight that the police were invited to participate in, in front of the world, as they ended your protest art (which was the beginning of it for us...).

May the stone roll away from the charges made against you, and may we all have the courage to tell the world what we think.
