UK: In the Belly of the Beast – New counter-information project

. | 10.03.2014 07:54 | Repression | Social Struggles | Technology


“…in the belly of the beast
this is where i lie
if we can strike here
we can strike everywhere…”


In the belly of the beast, a line synonymous with this region of the world, to denote the impossibility of attacking what oppresses us. How can we when our every motion is watched by artificial eyes from above? Our communications across the web intercepted? Undercovers everywhere we come together? The private militarisation of an occupying force on the streets? The forgotten ghettos of desperation multiplying? The incarceration complex ready to bursting? Drugged to the eyeballs by psychotic drugs? The palace of consumerism reflecting back at us through every window we stare through? Pointless ineffective A to B kettled protests? The date with cops that are summit mobilisations? Tired old grey haired theories boring us with irrelevance? Right, centre or left, who cares? The pious society bathing in self inflicted apathy? Educated from birth to submit to voluntary servitude? The prison society closing in around us? A repression that is more psychological than physical?

NO! If the insurrection that occurred in August 2011 shows anything, it is that there is no joy in this prison, only in the refusal to accept it, to refuse control over our lives, to be the wild beings of our own making, untamed & uncontrollable.

The enacting of violence upon everyday repetition cannot happen without the shattering of the spectacle that has a hold upon us, what you see here is a part of the sabotage of the flow, a counter to the normality, a dissemination of the actions that strike against the apparatus that slowly murders us. With this contribution it will lay waste to the illusion that all is not as it seems on this island we have imprisoned ourselves upon.

So we arm desire for a different existence from this nightmare attempted to be enforced on us. Τhe attack upon authority starts here in all its forms and not just the authority we see with our eyes, but also that which lies within us. Τhen finally the beast will be set fire to at its heart, an insurrection from within and outside ourselves, from here and beyond. For the counter-informational conflict with the existent, for those who dare to enact another possibility, from some individualities

PS. In dedication to Darko Mathers one of the brightest minds of his generation, nihilist-anarchist and comrade of Dark Matter Publications and the website prisonislanduk.noblogs.org. Everything continues.
“I will wander the world alone carrying my hatred and scorn everywhere.
Alone in struggle.
Alone in victory and in defeat.”

Bruno Filippi
