After the uprising in August 2025, the Indonesian state is weakened and looks for scapegoats. On the 23rd of September, the bastards claimed another one and kidnapped comrade Eat. Eat is a wellknown anarchist who had spent time in prison on several occasions, such as for armed robbery and an incendiary attacks against a bank. His ex-girlfriend, Anzi Matta, snitched on him and that’s why he got caught, according to police. The cops seized his laptop and phone, so that will be part of his case buildup. The police bastards are holding him incommunicado, like the rest of the anarchists. Right now he’s being held at the West Java Regional Police Station in Bandung. That’s where many comrades are held. We don’t know what official charges and accusations they will hit him with. We do know that he was being publicly accused of being the leader of the anarchist “Star of Chaos” variant in Indonesia, in connection with the riots last August. We have not heard about such a leader of anarchists, let alone nihilists, before. Nor have we heard of any such formal network of chaotics yet. Evidence of cops is simply, possession of flag or items, zines, musics, social media profile, participation or not in the riots, in many cases it appears, to try to legitimate the use of the anti-terrorist laws. At first sight seems like another absurd and fantastical concoction of the anti-terrorist unit, such as the lie that international funding of $500,000 created the revolt. This is part of the Indonesian state trying to change the narrative. Across the region our currents and tendencies grow. Their future is finished, anarchism is the narrative.
We know that according to the news circulating in Indonesia, after arresting 42 people accused of being part of egoist/insurrectionist cells, the police were pursuing Eat because he was also suspected of being a fundraiser, working on prisoner solidarity and connected to international anarchists, that is, he maintained friendships across borders. The police try to weaken the anarchist resolve by blaming snitches and creating anarcho-phantasms, but we know they lie and use torture. What we know is that the police are spreading that the former partner of Eat, Anzi Matta, helped them with information that lead to the arrest of Eat in Makassar, and he was brought to the West Java Regional Police in Bandung on 23rd September, where he remains.
