We are Glenn Beck’s Nightmare
We all agree it’s about to explode. Not so long ago in France the Invisible Committee released a pamphlet called “The Coming Insurrection”. It became the primary piece of evidence in the prosecution of the “Tarnac 9”. Subsequently “The Coming Insurrection” spread over the world like wild fire. In its wake, radical communities and outlaw culture rise organically under the banner “All Power to the Communes”.
Anarchist groups in Eugene, including the Black Tea Society and the Student Insurgent have come together to reprint 1500 copies of this pamphlet for local distribution. We are holding a release party on Saturday the 14th of November at the Campbell Club Co-operative, 1670 Alder St., Eugene Oregon, Anarchist capital of the United States. There will be a potluck and a live jug band performance by the “Dirty Commies”. As part of building a precedent in the Anarchist community, known snitches, perpetrators, and snitch sympathizers are not welcome.
Please come, bring your friends and food to share. Fuck the 90s fight now!

I have no idea who Glenn Beck is and I am too lazy to google. You may interested in this the coming insurrection is a hoax but then I would be truly worried for you.

An arbitrator has rejected controversial talk show host Glenn Beck's contention that the domain name glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com infringes his trademark. World Intellectual Property Organization arbitration panelist Frederick Abbott ruled Friday that the less-than-flattering domain name was protected by fair use principles because the URL, when combined with the site's content, constitutes protected speech....
Eiland-Hall had argued that the site parodied Beck by using the same rhetorical techniques that Beck uses on the air. In legal papers filed on his behalf by First Amendment lawyer Marc Randazza, he referenced a YouTube clip of Beck interviewing Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), a Muslim, during which Beck asked Ellison to prove that he was "not working with our enemies."
Eiland-Hall also argued that the site doesn't infringe on Beck's trademark because there's no likelihood that Web users wrongly think he's affiliated with it. "Only an abject imbecile could believe that the domain name would have any connection to the complainant," Randazza wrote.
The domain name itself stems from a Web meme originating on Aug. 31, when a commenter on Fark.com posed the question: "Why haven't we had an official response to the rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990?" The following day, Eiland-Hall set up the site.

Well, I sure can see why Glenn Beck takes you seriously now.

The spectre of idealist substitutionism has been haunting anarchism for some time now...
That this was brought to the attention of Glenn Beck does not mean we are accomplishing anything.
Just becuase the invisible committees has succeed in dressing up our idealist substitutionism in language that is more theoretically dense than Crimethinc doesn't mean we are magically "winning" no matter what the idiot Glenn Beck might think.
Anyhow FWIW sounds like a it could be fun party in Eugene, bike home safely.

The Glen Beck thing was just a joke, lighten up... But if you really are bored and have nothing productive to do I guess you could argue that Glenn Beck covering the coming insurrection had similar causes and effects as the arrest of its authors: fascist got scared of a book and it came back to bite them in the ass. In France (and the rest of Europe), the arrests made the book a popular radical manifesto, here Glen Beck's rant legitimized the book in the eyes of all the people who think he is a nut job. Personally, I had never heard of Glenn Beck until my friend told me he bashed the Coming Insurrection and so I looked it up on youtube. Really Jabberman, I suggest you come to our party or organize/disorganize something you care about.
Prec@rait, I like your precaution but nobody suggested we are winning. Also at this juncture our little societal evolution it might be worth building a culture of radicalism before you go to the front.

Alot of people read it and the call, but I still don't get this idea that this text is popular within Europe, it's not. Most European insurrectionary anarchists are quite dismissive of it, if not outright critical.
Any evidence for this? Being taken seriously by Glenn Beck isn't a real point in its favor.
