#DonaldTrump Manufactured the Crisis in #LosAngeles

The #Trumpadministration claims to be fighting an existential battle against #insurrectionary forces in Los Angeles. In truth, it created this cynical spectacle itself, #deployingtroops and #inflamingtensions to distract from its #policyfailures.

Issue 3 of “Blessed Is The Flame” Has Been Released

PDF download link: [ENG] Blessed Is The Flame – Issue #3

(For those who wish to print the newspaper, see the instructions below.)

The 3rd issue of the anarcho-nihilist/insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been published. Its pages contain reports of direct actions, claims of responsibility, texts, poems, and news from anarchist prisoners and trials that were published in November and December 2024 in ten different languages across various parts of the world, or were sent to us via email and are being published for the first time. (Some of the texts published for the first time will also be uploaded as standalone posts on our blog, blessed-is-the-flame.espivblogs.net.)

Our goal is not only to break down the linguistic barriers that hinder information, solidarity, and the dissemination of propaganda by the deed on an international level but also to give counter-information a printed form. We believe it is crucial for counter-information to transcend the limits of the digital realm.

In an era of rapid developments, we unfortunately published the 3rd issue a bit later than we had planned, as this is the first time the newspaper is officially published in seven different languages: Greek, English, Spanish, Indonesian, French, Italian, and German. A new post will include links to all these translations, once they are published on the respective counter-information platforms.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all comrades—both within Greece and abroad—who contribute by translating, offering financial support, and enabling the circulation of this newspaper in different parts of the world. Anyone interested in helping translate “Blessed Is The Flame” into even more languages can contact us at: [email protected].

Printing Instructions:

For those interested in printing the newspaper, ask a trusted print shop to print it in A5 format as a colored booklet. In a few weeks from now, the English and the Spanish editions of the newspaper will also be available in an alternative format appropriate for the US paper sizing system.

For printing, please download the PDF directly from our website, as the download link may be updated in case we detect minor formatting errors in the file that we may have overlooked.

EDITORIAL

When we conceived the idea for this newspaper a year ago, we could not have imagined that it would eventually take on such international dimensions so that, with the help of comrades from different parts of the earth, it would cross continents. The first issue was published only in Greek, but the second was also published in English and Spanish, and an effort is now being made to translate it into French as well. This issue is being published in even more languages and we hope that the translation efforts will multiply in future issues.

Anarchy of action has always been a small but lively flame burning contemptuously in the vast gloom of apathy and compromise; let us make its blessed light reach the ends of the earth and kindle it with our destructive passion for freedom. Every attack born of this passion is a reminder that the resistance to the world of power is not alive only in certain historical moments with the approval of the masses, but is an everyday affair; that there will always be those who struggle to get out of the mire of oppression; every attack is a statement that there are black sheep who refuse the mutilated life offered to them by this rotten society.

Every unrepentant word that comes out of the mouths of imprisoned comrades is proof that repression does not break the rebellious spirits.

And finally, every death in action is an eternal call for struggle.

Regardless of whether nowadays the intensity of the anarchist offensive has dropped considerably, the above messages remain unchanged throughout the centuries, because this very intensity has always made circles, and it is in our hands to turn the wheel.

For the Black International

The anti-authoritarian comrade Kevin Garrido was captured by the Chilean dirty police on November 19, 2015, after placing and detonating an artisanal explosive device at one of the entrances to the San Bernardo gendarmerie school. After his capture, he was also accused of carrying out an explosive attack outside the 12th police station of San Miguel on October 29 of that same year, which was attributed to the International Conspiracy for Revenge – Gerásimos Tsakalos Explosion Cell. During the early hours of November 19, the police also captured comrade Joaquín García Chancks, accusing him of belonging, along with Kevin, to this cell responsible for the attack against the 12th police station.

After a long trial, Kevin was sentenced to 17 years in prison for attacking both police institutions with explosives, and Joaquín García was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the explosive attack and carrying a firearm that he had at the time he was recaptured after escaping from house arrest in 2016.

On November 2, 2018, after having lived 3 years of imprisonment as a space of conflict against all types of authority, the comrade Kevin Garrido had a fight with an unworthy and cowardly prisoner who attacked him from behind. Although his injuries were very serious, Kevin did not receive the medical assistance he needed inside the Santiago 1 prison/company and the ambulance took 1 hour and 15 minutes to transfer him to the Barros Luco hospital, where he died after a high-risk intervention.

Comrade Kevin Garrido Present in the anti-authoritarian and insurrectionary memory!

6 years after his cowardly murder, we do not forget the irreducible path that he followed from an early age, until the end of his days.

“On the street – and wherever I find myself – I am a mutinous complicit in everything criminal and in prison I do not cower nor do I have a submissive attitude towards the jailers and any authoritarian bastard who passes through here. I don’t choke on nice speeches or phrases like: “death to all authority”and after a while I became victimized by a few coming blows from the Authority, an authority that I intend to assassinate with my hands. I assume the “consequences” of my actions that never go hand in hand with passivity. Because this is my War, HERE AND NOW.” (Kevin Garrido, February 2016)

正在观看美国大选吗？
希望能在民主政治相关的话题讨论中脱颖而出？
热心于进步事业吗？追求自由解放？……
如果是，本项目希望您知道，不必与无知者生闷气，不必失望懊恼，事实上您可以且值得去做的事情比看起来的多得多。

在《天安门起义35周年》的开篇我们提到：“百年不遇的机会…就快来了”。这不是某种修辞，它就是字面意思。重大且难得的机会窗口正在临近，但是，要想让它有利于自由解放的革命前景（而不至于导致跌入更恶劣的深渊），就需要进步派革命者具有超凡的智慧和创造力、敏锐的感知意识和能动性、踏实审慎的行为风格和基层实力，换句话说，需要政治专业性水平。

……

面对当前的局势，我们需要的是一种全新的激进主义，这种激进主义既能为那些今天只完成了一半革命的人提供彻底革命的机会，也能为他们提供抓住机会的勇气。所有那些被压迫、被剥削、被摧残、被竞争绑上永无休止的跑步机的奴隶们、怒火中烧却束手无策的囚徒们，我们需要一起探索一条通往新世界的路径，这种全新的激进主义就是我们的代步工具。

您绝不是唯一一个在寻找出路的人。您从不孤单。我们很多人都在这条路上...... 一直都在。甚至其中一些人已经遥遥领先地接近了那个新世界，他们会在那里等我们，庆祝我们的到来。我想让你知道，你我曾经的每一分抗争 —— 不论它们以什么形式出现 —— 都不是白费的，相反它们美丽、高贵、绝对的必要，是我们走向自由解放的跬步。

……

2024年的这个10月是IYP的10岁生日，本项目将以转型作品作为生日蛋糕，与所有热心于进步事业的华语朋友分享！🎂🎉🎁

THE CHILD AND ITS ENEMIES is back after a weeklong hiatus with an interview with one of the media makers behind #insurrectionary #anarchist news site @itsgoingdown.org ! Listen to us discuss #Queers Bash Back, how being a #trans kid is weirdly similar to being a counter-info organizer (really), and what it means to organize in a society facing rising #fascism: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5m8kJEPeuN3x4saSffRADh?si=98c1e6bbe2a74458

甚至直到如今，很多中国异议人士仍然只是在说或“做”他们认为的 “当局有可能不喜欢的事”，却几乎完全不会考虑那些“事”对我自己的利益福祉和整体战略而言有多大价值。事实上几乎从未有过价值。于是他们只是一直在被当局的愚蠢所拖累和消耗。是时候结束这种被动虚弱的状况了 ……
