Statement from Chris McIntosh

Some time ago, I asked the movement to remove my name from

prisoner lists and support efforts. Unfortunately, because

at the time my reasons for doing so were in conflict with

certain persons' ideologies, my prepared statement was not

posted on my website. So it seemed as though I took my

leave without explanation, which was not the case. Also,

it seemed like I was “quitting.” But that was not and

still is not the case.

I had become frustrated and disillusioned by the

resistance to evolution within the struggle. I see

evolution as one of the main principles to be harnessed in

order to escape the entropic fate that destroys all life

that doesn’t progress in being or survival tactics. Also,

I don’t understand why the foremost natural law – might

makes right – is not held paramount. The fact we have no

inherent rights other than what we conquer through our

manifest physical will.

Now I still don’t understand why those principles have not

become the North star of our resistance movement, but I

realize after much contemplation and reflection upon my

responsibility in the struggle for the preservation of all

life, bailing out was not the most responsible step and

not the healthiest choice.

So it is, I humbly request that those who still care for

my situation and would in some way help in the support of

my personal struggle during this incarceration by whatever

is in their means – be it a letter or much needed funds

(would be much appreciated) as my diet and maintenance of

such is still an issue, commissary funds are necessary.

The Administration is and has been very unsympathetic to

the veg diets of the prisoners here. It has even caused

me, at times, to eat meat – which is a strain on me.

Also I need mental and emotional support. This institution

being a U.S.P. (maximum security) sees a lot of violence –

stabbings, attempted murders… We are on lockdown for our

second murder in a little over a year as I write this. I

am also struggling with the race dynamics here. Ignorant

behavior finds some way to oppress you no matter where you

turn and creates high race tension. I have fought hard and

long to combat within myself the anger and hatred caused

by this tension. As I move through time further and

further from the streets and the good people I knew, this

situation seems more and more like reality and I need help

in grounding myself back on the other side of this wall.

I need your help to regain my sense of hope for the future

in a place where survival is not guaranteed. I need your

help to maintain my long held anarchist beliefs in this

environment of debased, sickening individuals.

I appreciate your help.

Your anarchist brother in continued resistance

PS. I don’t think any of the people that were doing my

support will be available to do it again, so I’m thinking

even low level support will be better than none.
