“Because Black December is not a staged repetition of previous insurrectional events, but rather a circle of struggle that connects the past with the present, in search of a future where our everyday life will be inundated with acts of attack and rebellion against Power.
Because, although our bodies are incarcerated between walls and bars, our souls are found in every part of the planet where flags of resistance are raised for a world of freedom.
Because our hearts stubbornly continue to beat to the rhythm of wild freedom…”
– Nikos Romanos
On New Year’s Eve in the evening, an incendiary device was set up against an expensive BMW in a terribly gentrified neighborhood by the Lachine Canal in Montreal, on Duvernay St between Charlevoix and Levis St. Let’s call it an attempt as, in a hurry, there wasn’t a way to be around to see whatever happened in the following minutes… yet if no stupid citizen took the personal risk to intervene to keep a fire from destroying a car, it should have worked.
Molotoving this repulsive machine would have been surely more certain. Though at this busy time of the evening, in one of the busiest evenings of the year, it was rather risky to be done ninja-style, so a more discreet approach involving chemicals was preferred. Hence, under one of the rear tires was slipped a cup of coffee half-filled with dry chlorine and added some brake fluid to it, which allowed to attack quickly and silently and leave without a fuss, hopefully unseen. It is a tested-and-true powerful firestarter for several kinds of dry applications, including car tires.
One could speculate that there are good reasons why this arson may have been silenced by the police and the mainstream media – or just the neighbors that wouldn’t bother calling the cops over a suspicious coffee cup – especially given how this neighborhood is filled with the “innocent” upper middle-class, including those fancy members of the Inner Party.
If you want to make sure of following up on this and past actions against gentrification, causing more discomfort among this upwardly-mobile caste, you may as well – though not limited to – drop syringes and dog poos on the sidewalks of trendy areas; pepper-spray more bougie bar & grills; punch some White male yuppie’s smug face and poke your fingers in their shallow eyes; dress and make up as a petty bourgeois hipster yourself to fuck everything up from the inside; or just do a really funny surprise attack out of nowhere to trash their places… with their own trash of course. It’s up to you. So many possiblities to grab for twisted minds.
This was done, of course, in the context of Black December in solidarity with Michael Kimble and all the other prisoners who’ve been taking part in the recent uprisings in Alabama, along with Emma Sheppard in Britain, the invincible Nikos Romanos, Sean Swain and Marius Mason.
But it was also an act of revenge for a female deer that, roughly a year ago somewhere in the countryside east of Montreal, was found dead in a ditch on the side of the road, while she was still pregnant.
Too many of these horrors keep happening, as so many cars aren’t yet burning. It will take hundreds of burned cars to sooth the anger felt about such poor defenseless creature being massacred on the roads by human drones driven by the machine.
Fire for hire!

P.S.: special praises to the people in Quebec who managed to make New Year’s Eve noise demos in front of prisons outside of Montreal. Let’s keep spreadin’ this shit! XOXOXO
