As part of our upcoming awesome Latin American Project, we came across this short tidbit.
“In 1976, in response to censorship imposed by the military dictatorship in Argentina, Rodolfo Walsh created ANCLA, (Clandestine News Agency), and the “Information Chain”, a system of hand-to-hand information distribution whose leaflets stated in the heading:
‘Reproduce this information, circulate it by any means at your disposal: by hand, by machine, my mimeograph, orally. Send copies to your friends: nine out of ten are waiting for them. Millions want to be informed. Terror is based on lack of communication. Break the isolation. Feel again the moral satisfaction of an act of freedom. Defeat the terror. Circulate this information.’”
um, that’s like what History Is A Weapon is.
