That isn't a communique. It's a slideshow, probably made in windows media player, that says nothing about what was happening or why. All you've done was taken the meaning out of real actions such as the Port of Olympia and Tacoma footage. That wasn't people breaking windows or throwing tear gas because some mosh pit mentality overcame us, that was a real and attainable action in which a specific goal and means were established. Those actions were not governed by anarchists either. To claim those actions as "anarchist actions" is to discredit and undermine the folks who weren't wearing the anarchist attire (which are usually a majority).

Hey IAC take some advice and get yourselves a new minister of propaganda. A montage of riot porn set to punk rock music is not movement building. This is exactly the representation of Anarchism that the government and the corporate media promote.

This kind of adolescent fixation with street clashes and confrontations with the police is not activism. It only undermines the "propaganda by the deed" ethos of the Black Block tactic.

Please describe this ethos.

I believe the IAC despises the spectacle.

Perhaps this has something to do with the video:

well done. I find it interesting that so many people immediately cling like leaches onto the work of others...and because they are useless cowards who make nothing new they can only attack what they were too afraid to be a part of.

i... i... i... i understand...

interesting use of john zorn.

The pentagram thing that flashes in this movie is the seal of the demon Astaroth.

Astaroth had 4 primary assistants, one of who was Aamon, a demon with the ability to see the future.
