Onus is On Us


The duty we have taken up is to continue writing the stories others won't.

While out with my not-so-famous Artist friends, the subject came up that the news agencies of our day do not report in on the ground. Yes you, Media 24, eTV, SABC, Multichoice and you others. They say what profits them and their interests (which are usually profit-oriented) With so many news and multimedia companies in this South Africa of ours, We find it quite surprising (and in some ways inspiring) to know that there are still stories to write.
It frightens us, sometimes, this onus upon us.

It sometimes daunts us.  Then we think to our self "If not us, who else? Who can do it?"
Any way, someone else is not us.They do not have our eyes, our vision, voice and perspective. The gift of being our self has been given to us and these cells are no one else's. This is on us, no matter the trials and stresses that come with it. If we waited 10 years or 100, no one would have designed the Extreme Reform Engine. No one else designed the Chaotic Front. Therefore, they cannot do this. This is ours. It is something between an oversized bastard sword and a cross. We either wield or I bear it as a burden. The choice rests here.

So while other news agencies are concerned with homicidal double-amputees and the size of pop stars' asses, we here at the Front will continue to bring you politics from the ground and magick from the cosmos.

We will continue to sabotage, overthrow, disobey and demolish bad policy wherever and whenever we find it.  We have had this lifetime to begin this work. Anarchists Earth-wide have been on this for generations upon generations. If we all choose complacency, we are all but dead. The freedom of governing the self and choosing one's own fate are consistently, constantly and belligerently under threat.

We really didn't want to be a soldier in any form. This is necessity. When Mphutlane  Wa Bofelo asked us a few weeks ago for a list of Anarchists in South Africa, we couldn't give him one. Not even one more name. Sometimes we feel quite alone. But Mphutlane, if you are reading this, please steer your eye to Bolo'Bolo. They are a small community of Anarchists in Cape Town we met too briefly. It is within our plans to return there and join them in their work to proliferate information, freedom of choice and awareness.

The Bureau of Sabotage began in the future envisioned in the 1970s. Here, we choose to begin the best methods we can to form foundations for what is an engine of sabotage and creation. An engine of chaotic energy, something the establishments cannot swallow, contain or control. There are others out there, but for now, these are our feet walking these mean streets, loaded with retarded policies and even more retarded police, aiming to retard and perturb or wills.
This cannot stand. Therefore, this most Chaotic of Fronts is formed as a weapon against them.


We'll quit when we're dead.
