      Click on the actual link you get the article up front. Click on this and have to jump through capture hell then the site hardly loads.

    "Dress up. Leave a false name. Be legendary. The best Poetic Terrorism is against the law, but don’t get caught. Art as crime; crime as art." -- T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism, 1985

    The whole piece is great - https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/hakim-bey-t-a-z-the-...

    Or if you have 5 mins to spare, the album version with Bill Laswell is even better - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt9vMF01Pd8
