You speak the TRUTH durrutti…i read the whole post and didnt find one thing i didn’t agree with as far as the order of events are concerned. He is exactly what you pegged him as, a con-artist. He definately left a mess in houston according to what his Brother told me. I was in the house when the Fed’s came for him and hope im never in that position again. Trouble lurks around Plummer so if i was you i would stay far away from him. Plummer is a nice guy and is actually pretty fun to hang out with but you always have that feeling he’s being that way to get something over on you or prosper somehow. I have read all kinds of articles on plummer on the internet and this is the first one that has it correct. Or should i say Scott Crow/Durrutti has it correct. I’ll be watching this thread to see ahet else comes up.
]]>It’s funny but one of the sources of information was his own mom, whom I spoke to on the phone about him. She confirmed that he had a drug problem and brok into her friends house to steal things. This is from his own mom. When he had moved back to Houston she had no idea about this ‘political prisoner’ stuff, she happened past his computer one day and saw all these google searches he had done about himself. Did I mention he was also extremely narsiccistic? She couldn’t beleive what she read
and least of she said it was untrue.
I am sorry to post some really perosnal stuff, but much of the public data
has been posted.
When he was picked up by the Feds inHouston for parole violation he admitted later in a letter to a supporter that he ‘was interviewed for hours’
about stuff he didn’t know about. In my circles if you are picked up by the Feds , either you have a lawyer or you walk. you don’t answer anything.
So why did he speak to them for hours? later in the same letter he mentions ‘asking them questions about other people’ which he goes on to name including me, to me that sounds like giving information to the state.
None of the above information came to light until after he was gone and the letter was revealed.
Chris often engaged in snitch-jacketing, where he would claim someone was an informer or snitch etc, and tell people not to work with or trust them. It was very divisive to a few communities. When all the evidence came out and then the letter many had to ask. Was he an informer? Had he made a deal? He never went back to prison for two parole violations. We have nothing but speculationon that aspect of it years later, but I know I was vistied by the Feds more often than before.
Lastly, if you read his ‘BIO’ you see all of these verifications, but if you talk to people in those movemements NO ONE remembers him or had heard of him. And much later prison letters circulated that actually suggested he
was infact in some relation to the AB while in prison. Again I cannot confirm it myself.
I do know he raised thousands of dollars on the backs of innocent and unsuspecting people who wanted to support political prisoners.
He sullied many people on good, legitimate work from coast to coast.
He has been discredited in Anarhcist prisoner support networks and many
organizing networks.

reagans death, 93 years too late
93 years too late,
Ronald Reagan dies at age 93
06-05-04
For the past 24 years I have waited for Reagan to die, albeit I would have rather seen his death come at the hands of an assassin, fact is it’s poetic that he couldn’t remember his own name at the time of his demise given all of the blood and names on his hands.
While watching the reports on cnn regarding the great communicators death I am left wondering what president they are speaking of, the one that financed the death squads of Latin America. Or the president that openly lied to the American public and the world regarding those same financial meanderings? the same president that insisted on the all out support for what would soon become al Qaeda, despite the knowledge of their dangers, just because they held an ‘anti-communist stance’…. Reagan for all of his rhetoric was perhaps one of the world’s greatest murders, he got away with it.
telling fact is this, the only real effort to take him out of office and out of this world was john Hinckley jr’s valiant but misguided bullets… in the 80’s there were thousands in the streets protesting him and his public policy…
now that his body has been placed in a casket and a bloodstained flag draped over it, and all of the miserable excuses are made, Latin America and others can breathe a heavy sigh of relief… the great communicator can finally rot in the earth, getting his rightful place in this world.
Rest in peace Ronnie, we all need it!
CHRIS PLUMMER BIO Chris Plummer is an anti-racist anarchist activist and former political prisoner.
In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Chris was involved in the squatting movement of New York’s Lower East Side. It was during this time that Chris and others founded the United Anarchist Front (UAF), a very close knit group. It was formed in Boston by Chris and a few others. The ideology of the group was influenced, and paralleled with the ideas of Action Directe (of France), and ALF, Animal Liberation Front. The group used direct action to resist oppression from the ruling class.
At first their actions were fairly scattered, but in a short period they realized they could be highly effective against the nazi/racist scene. What led directly to Chris’ arrest happened in 1993. Chris took part in the raid on a house in Houston used by the American Front and the Confederate Hammerskins, fascist groups with a history of extreme violence. Chris broke into the house and destroyed nazi propaganda. The police found fingerprints that linked the action to Chris, and he was arrested later that year.
Chris was convicted of “breaking and entering with an intent to burglarize” and sentenced to 15 years, and a charge of attempted murder was also raised as a means to pressure Chris to implicate comrades. The bogus charge was dropped, however, when Chris couldn’t be terrorized into turning in his friends.
Chris did not stop his organizing efforts after being imprisoned. The Texas system has a well-justified reputation for being a maelstrom of hate, terror and exploitation. One of the ways that control is maintained by the prison administration is by encouraging conflict between the different prisoners’ nationalities/castes, or races. In spite of this environment, Chris was able to set up a prisoner organization called Cell One in Huntsville, former home of Texas’ notorious Death Row.
One of Cell One’s main projects was the Texas Prisoners Anarchist Lending Library (TPALL). With materials made available from outside supporters such as “Books-Through-Bars\” in Philadelphia and “Break The Chains” (a defunct group in California), the Library made available books, pamphlets and magazines relevant to the struggles of the oppressed for liberation: Black/New Afrikan, Chicano, Native and class struggle histories, anarchist and other revolutionary theory, anti-sexist, anti-racist critiques, etc. In March of 1997, prison guards raided Chris under the pretense of investigating “gang activity.” The guards disposed of the entire library as well as many of Chris’ personal possessions.
In May 1997, Chris was transferred to the Hughes Unit in Gatesville, Texas. Soon after being transferred, Chris found himself in “lock down” (Administrative Segregation) for reasons unknown. On August 26, 1997, Chris was again under attack from the prison staff — this time in retaliation for Chris speaking out in support of another prisoner, Tony Collins, who had just been convicted of possessing a gun. The prison guards had been threatening Mr. Collins’ life, not an idle threat in the Texas prisons. After reaching outside support groups and threatened legal action to expose this, the guards seized and destroyed all of his property including important legal material.
Chris had to undergo repeated strip searches and cell searches which meant he was pulled out of his cell 13 times per eight-hour shift, and in Oct. 1997 he was paid a visit by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and was told they would be pressing charges for gun-smuggling. A conviction on these charges would result in 30 to 40 more years of prison.
Chris also has a paid hit on his life by the Aryan Brotherhood, the strongest and most organized racist group in prison. Although Chris is in Administrative Segregation, if he were let out into the general population of the prison, he would be killed within a week. Because of pressure from the outside support groups the bogus charges from the ATF have been dropped. Even though the daily harassment still continues, Chris continued to do the work necessary to fight fascism, racism, and the imperialist U.S. government that spawn hatred.
Documenters of Chris’ case wrote: “We have, through records of his internal charges since imprisonment, inmate grievances, and testimonies of other inmates, a fairly solid picture of his life since imprisonment as an anti-racist anarchist prison organizer. We have testimonies of an inmate who overheard various Aryan Brotherhood members speaking about a ‘hit’ on Chris life. Other testimonies describe certain guards trying to provoke him, attacking him among other provocations as a ‘nigger-lover.’ This entire story is backed up by both records of his own grievances filed and affidavits attached by several other inmates. The Compa Magon distro has received several requests for literature from people who have been turned on to anarchism through him, which shows his activity as an organizer. Another experience we have had of organizing with him was a hunger strike that inmates at Gatesville undertook last November to be granted the right to a vegetarian diet, which he hooked us up with and we were able to put out a call for letters and faxes in support of.”
In January 2002, Chris walked out of prison after serving nearly a decade behind bars. He came out organizing, getting active with the Austin Anarchist Black Cross and became one of the main organizers of the Anarchist Black Cross Network 2002 conference. Today, he continues to speak out against racism, prisons and oppression.
Since this was written Chris has been placed under a federal investigation for conspiracy to commit murder against law enforcement agents, the investigations stem from a talk he gave in Portland Oregon and a video interview in Eugene, he has been sent back to prison on parole violations twice.
Despite the continued harassment by feds and the specter of prison he continues working on projects, namely the formation of the ‘UNITED FRONT’ you can contact Chris at [I HAVE REDACTED THIS EMAIL ADDRESS, JKP]
