Fluidity of Revolt

FRC | 28.05.2012 12:55

Swindon town centre was the focus of spontaneous rebellion in the early hours of Monday 28th of May. Vivid pink paint and lurid green spray paint were used to disrupt the grey banality of the high street. We expressed the joy and the fluidity of our revolt by throwing paint across the shops and pavements.

Our irrepressible desire meant that we aimed our energies at The Askin Clinic for Health and Wellbeing, Swindon Ariel & Satellite Services, Monahans Integrated Financial Support, the Co-operative supermarket, Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC) and the Bell Hotel and at the Harvest Energy Garage where cars were sprayed with green paint. This is a call to zones of indistinction which need no justification, not an insistence on totality. The pathetic humanism proposed to us is like a bad joke, and instead of laughter we respond with crisis. Our desires and actions are sharpened by hate but also love only to become poetry and motion.

Monahan's deserve to be sprinkled with paint - they sold me some holiday insurance cover once and when i tried to pretend my camera had been nicked it wouldnt pay out but now my soul soars free above the dead hand of provinical financial services brokers - scum

At least someone has finally dished out some justice to The Askin Clinic for Health and Wellbeing. These people try to fool us with the concept of 'Well being'.

We know so little of what it means to be liberated in heart, thought and action, so how can we be well of being. No, until the the streets are painted with pink and green and yellow and blue we will always be in horrible chains.

Paint the world with our purple rage!

Daily Telegraph is reporting these 'actions'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9293298/Anarchist-group-vows-to-wage-low-level-warfare-on-Olympics.html

and preparing the public for an anti-'anarchist crackdown

why are these posts still up?

Personally I think most of the recent reports are fake and using names of two actual anarchist prisoners for the piss take is wrong. Setting that aside though i would like to tell "anon" to stop screaming COPS everytime he/she reads about some sort of sabotage. Police doesn't need fucking excuses to repress anarchsit movement, there are more than enough examples of them doing it whenever they feel like it. It is pathetic really.
As for sabotage- it has been part of anarchist MO since the very beginning and it is unlikely to change, as much as people like you wish for it.

Perfect as it was always gonna be. People burn some train cables and now it's all connected to the shooting of the nuclear executive in Italy and, of course, threats to The Olympics. Prepare for the crackdown - the preventative arrests, the surveillance, raids on squats and social centres, the ASBO's and so on.

Pompous Poetry as Action

As someone has already speculated:

"I'm guessing, but I imagine Billy Augustan and Reyhard Rumbayan (Eat) who are in an Indonesian prison, are not reading Indymedia posts take the piss out of the pompous, irritatingly grand and self-important poetry and antics of of few spaced-out 'informals' in the UK."

Where are the real IAF/CCF when we need them?
