Vote Swain for Revolution in 2016

Swain for president 2016I’m Anarchist Prisoner Sean Swain, and I’m running for president. As far as I know, I’m the only presidential candidate who has been completely silenced by the FBI, forced to smuggle communications out of prison. And for good reason. My only campaign promise is to remain in office only for ninety days, with the expressed aim to abolish the United States, once and for all. Yep. I promise to take this motherfucker down.

The idea is, we can all conspire to highjack one election and toss swivelization on the trash-heap of history where it belongs.

Fuck hierarchy. We deserve better.

My stylish campaign t-shirts are currently on sale at the PDX ABC website. Just in case I lose the election to one of the corporate-party fascist fuckweasels, which is very likely if I don’t get your support, you can then use the t-shirt to make a homemade balaclava and get business done.

Batman Must Die

Bane_breaks_BatmanUp until now, I’ve taken on a lot of controversial topics from a radical perspective, and I have often taken the most militant, anti-authoritarian position in many current  debates, but there has been one very serious topic that I have avoided. It’s kind of a “third rail” of broadcasting, something you just don’t talk about, a position you just never articulate if you want to keep your job.

Now, I know – there are haters out there who can’t wait to send the hatemail. They say I’m full of overblown rhetoric … and they say I don’t really know what I’m talking about … and they say “what kind of anarchist watches ‘Dancing with the Stars’?” and all  of them may be celebrating the end of my radio career – if that’s what this is. Here goes:

BATMAN MUST DIE. Continue reading

To Rebels, Insurrectionists, and Hacktivists Everywhere

lets goI’m ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, but I’m still swinging with all that I’ve got. I gave the state an ultimatum: reinstate my communications or I’ll refuse blood pressure meds – which will lead to heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm. The state hasn’t budged and neither have I. I’m now out of meds and facing a spike in blood pressure. If I die I hope everyone reading this holds the same people responsible for my death as I do.

Odds aren’t so good that I’m going to live through this no matter how it stacks up. My website is in a state of transition, my access to the radio show is essentially cut off, and it feels like I’ve been obliterated beyond prison fences.

Black December

Black December2Black December is coming, and none too soon. We’ve hashed out our theories and we’ve analyzed our reality, we know what kind of future we want and what we are going to have to tear apart in order to get it. The time for philosophizing and talking it out has ended and we face the inevitable moment of conflict with the forces of control and conformity and subjugation.

December really is the perfect starting point, here in the U.S. anyway. It’s the darkest month of the year, the most non-daylight hours to carry our acts of resistance and rebellion. Also, in the cold, everyone wears ski masks. So, a rebel about to strike a Walmart or a police car or some fascist administrator’s house doesn’t look quite as conspicuous as he or she might look in, say, July or August in the same gear.

Still Running

Swain still runningThe Federal Bureau of Investigation is clearly using the Ohio prison system to rig the 2016 presidential election. The FBI is so completely and absolutely terrified of the possibility of a Sean Swain presidency, they have directed prison officials to suspend all of my communications permanently. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. It’s all about 2016 and preventing me from becoming president.

You can’t really blame them, I guess. A federal court has declared me a “unique security threat,” so it’s pretty easy for the FBI to reasonably conclude that I’m the single greatest danger they’ve ever faced, and if somehow I got elected president, well, that would be the immediate death of swivelization.

They can’t let THAT happen. Continue reading

Send Sean Some Love!

Sean Swainbroad city2 is having a very hard time right now and could really use to be reminded that he is not alone. If you haven’t written to Sean in a while or haven’t heard back from him due to the ODRC messing with his mail or cutting off his other methods of communication, now would be a great time to flood him with letters, cards, photos, drawings, books, zines, anything.

In particular, now would be a good moment to remind Sean that he matters to you, that you are glad he is alive, and that you see him as contributing to the world in a way that matters to you. Every once in a while we all need a loving kick to the head to get us back on track and feeling ready to continue fighting. Now is that moment for Sean. So send him a kick; he deserves it.
