Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA) - Perfectly paradoxical; grotesquely beautiful

Clownbatants Engage Royal Marines With ‘Divide And Fool’ Tactics

Evil Clowns Mock Armed Forces Recruiting


Clumsily cribbed and butchered from:
Sorry. The army isn't recruiting today. Its closed.

A very large and extremely un-amused commando from the Royal Marines tried to throw us out of the [recruiting] centre with the help of a growing number of police officers. But it's hard to move a rebel clown, they don't resist in a conventional sense, but tend to slip out of the clutches of authority like wobbly jelly and distract them from their duties with loud gaffaws and stinging mockery.

The more our pleas to join the army fell on deaf ears:
"Please teach us how to liberate people!"
"Where are the application forms? "
"Why can't we have really really big guns like yours?"

The more chaotic the scene in the recruitment office became. Very long sausage ballons started screaming across the space sounding like ammunition about to explode, sherbert filled toy aeroplanes did manic loop the loops over the RAF desks, one clown crawled around the floor polishing soldiers boots with his feather duster while another read out loud the latest communique from CIRCA … which detailed the absurdity of the so called "hand-over" of power in Iraq and announced the occupation of Leeds by CIRCA and the establishment of the Clown Provisional Authority.

Spot the clown

At one point a very long tape measure appeared and the clowns set up a competition to find the tallest policeman and the smallest protester, an exercise that ended with the clowns getting completely tangled in the tape and falling over.

Whenever the very slick mountain bike cops passed by, clowns would idolize their "cool" lycra shorts, sunglasses and shiny new bikes, causing the police on foot to smile and thus teasing out some of the internal tensions of the force - "divide and fool" being one of CIRCA's key strategies to rebel against the forces of coercive power!

CIRCA's combatants don't pretend to be clowns, they are clowns, real clowns.

Clowns navigate the trackless ether like void engineers under the scrutiny of the unblinking eye:

The first lie of insurgency is that it is everywhere and nowhere
They give resistance a funny face
Improvisation is insurgency
They do not want to change 'the' world, but 'their' world
Evil Clowns will always desert and disobey those who abuse and accumulate power
Because nothing undermines authority like holding it up to ridicule
Because fools are both fearsome and innocent
Because a clown can survive everything and get away with anything.

Run away from the circus: Join the forces of the clandestine insurgent rebel clown army!
