Zapata Stencil Graffiti by Nico / Industrias Ilegales. "...Nico of Industrias Ilegales, a Chicano street artist from East Los, Aztlan has been decorating the walls that surround his Boyle Heights neighborhood with the mystical power of stencil graffiti. In the tradition of The Basques and the Mexicans who used the same techniques in protests propaganda during the 1970s. Nico has been stenciling the portraiture of Mexican Revolutionary General Emilio Zapata on back alleyways." From Murals at BrownPride.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
