"The name which can be named is not the true name." -道德经
I don’t recall when I first encountered the dream of a pilgrimage, connecting the birthplace of the Messiah and founder of Letterism, Isidore Isou, and the deathplace of the Messiah and founder of Letterism, Fazlallah Astarabadi. I had harboured ideas to visit Botoșani, Isou’s birthplace, in the northern, “Moldavian” part of Romania, for some years, but had thus far been knocked back by certain of my fellow psychic workers, on account of the significant traversals of space, time and class that would be required. Against such investment in signification, actions were indefinitely postponed. However, in the aftermath of an affiliation with the union of Data Miners and Psychic Workers, various suggestions began once more to circulate, or at least to diffuse through the filaments of whatever media mycelia held us connected at that time.
Things are resolved, plans are made, a pilgrimage takes place, and time, and class, to mark the dawning of the 12th year since Isou’s passing, and so to finally turn the page, or so it is hoped, on those bitter, blood-inked chapters we call - after Fazlallah himself - the Age of Divinity.

As have been recorded there was a match of 3SF to happen in Glasgow on 5th November 1994 on the roof of the 99 Gallery on 5th Nov 1994 at the end of the opening of the Complicity’s group show. 25 years have passed and on the same 5th November a bunch of psychic workers decided to round up the time loop so finding the building which has a pub on a ground zero space which formerly hosted the above mentioned gallery. After the hopeless discussion to incorporate some eastern European pub staff workers to find an excuse to climb up on the roof and to play 3SF psychic workers left nothing else to do then to follow the Psychogeographical Contour Map of Glasgow occasionally got as an option to find their way around.

In teasing out from the imaginary ether what it means to play three sided football, a recurrent theme has been the gradual emergence of what I want to call replays - transmutations of past and future Games, whether played or unplayed, that are repeated in order to become triolectically enhanced.

BUCHAREST BLACK MOON 3SF WORLD CUP: AUGUST 30TH, 12PC

- Written by Alytus Biennial Reversion into Abolition of Culture And Distribution of its Aberrant Bacillus Right Abroad - Committee (ABRACADABRA-C)
Black Moon for Bucharest came-up at 1:37PM on August 30th, 12PC. SOF, DAI (Double Agents International) and ABRACADABRA-C went to a carwash few hours before this time. First here DAMTPs got a vacuum cleaner from the cleaning workers and almost finished the cleaning of van interior, when workers took back the vacuum cleaner back and told to wait in a queue. It took 2 or 3 hours. Black Moon or Supermoon came in the moment the van started to be washed. In full proletarian solidarity 3 teams of peregrines played a routine 3SF World Cup (WC). This was the last WC in a row of 18. It ended with SOF automatic dissolving. After playing DAMTPs came back to the cleaning worker and paid him for the job done including the labour done by themselves.
Thus on 31st July 12PC [2019 vulg.] the destined day of SOF’s self-abolition arrived - the culmination of UfSO, the amplic and the chiselling phases, overseen by the 33-month return of the Black Moon. In the annual rotunda - the threesided game of earth, moon and sun - each of the four elemental seasons gives birth to three new moons. Every 33 months or so, they sire a Black Moon, a seer who walks in the shadows between them, itself a ghostly image of the great 33 year solar-lunar marriage dance. With the dawning of the Black Moon, in the 12th year of the Age of the Proletariat, Strategic Optimism’s Nine Year Plan reaches the end of its 3rd and final phase. The unending cycle of the Three Rotations is complete; the cosmic great game begins again!
Later this day peregrines cached with Romanian National Football Team bus, stuck in the traffic jam, and DAI tried to offer them a proletarian football of lowest quality as letter of proletarian solidarity. Their driver showed a body letter of [capitalist] detachment but some traces of solidarity were apparent.
BLACK SEA 3SF WORLD CUP: AUGUST 28TH, 12PC

The 3SF World Cup was hold on the ferry-boat deck in a time between Workers’ Negotiated Overtaking of VIPs’ Sunset and before Workers’ Self-organized Proletarian Sunrise. Participants: Truck Drivers’ Academia (TDA), dolphins, kids, travellers, bikers, None-Males Association (NoMA), Double Agents International (DAI), SOF and ABRACADABRA-C.
Two players – one from TDA, another from NoMA - got serious foot injuries. The same TDA player few hours before got his heart broken because of NoMA’s refusal to accept his love. The World Cup eventually ended on the unexpected victory by dolphins – the clandestine negotiation to give ball to them ended up with disability to kick-off it “accidentally” out of the ferry to the open sea. It was probably because the heavy hand-made serpentine ball was used.

The Alphabetic Tower is a 130-meter-high structure in Batumi, Georgia: two helix bands rise up the tower holding 33 letters of the Georgian alphabet. Construction date – 4PC (vulg. 2011). Peregrine data miners found out it to be a tower of dead letters and dead birds.
The 3SF game was played with the lightweight ball (the one in a water melon design) in a strong wind. The game [of flying] was played between three teams [forces] accordingly: the kicker, wind and gravity.
There were some time loops of the game sequence discovered after the game in Batumi was played (or rather initiated, because 3SF games never quit) – that connects the attempts by humans "to fly as a bird" and the earthquakes in Constantinople/Istanbul:
KARS HUMANITARIAN 3SF WORLD CUP: AUGUST 25TH, 12PC

The construction of monument to Humanity as a monument to peace between Turkey and Armenia, long divided by a dispute over genocide, was approved on 23 December 2006. The construction of the monument took 3 years and took a shape of monument to bipolarity in 2PC (vulg. 2009). In the early 4PC (vulg. 2011) Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan described the monument as a "monstrosity”. On 26 April 4PC monument’s demolition started by beheading the statues. Then the statue was dismembered into 20 pieces.
This World Cup started even earlier in Erzurum on August 21st, 12PC when after exchanging in a friendly chat at the dinner table in local restaurant Turkish guy frankly asked: “do peregrines like Turkish president?”. Their answer was: “if you like him we like him too”. The guy was very satisfied with the answer and with himself too.
On the other hand, the beheading (and dismembering) of the monuments has a long line through the Age of Divinity and merges Protestantism, French Revolution, Paris Commune, Bolsheviks, Situationists, nationalists in Eastern Europe after 90’ies, Taliban, ISIS, Rhode Must Fall Movement and many others. But Kars case is different – there destruction happen in a biennial after the monument was build.
Peregrines climbed the mountain, found a place with remaining of the monument’s concrete basement, clambered it and played Humanitarian 3SF Haiku World Cup – the shortest ever played.
PLAY IN ANI AND DIE 3SF WORLD CUP: August 24th, 12PC

Peregrine DAMTPs came to Ani just before sunset, but because of the approaching storm it was almost dark already. Through the Lion Gate peregrines got into a triangular location of the city which some ages ago used to be the largest in the world. Now – fully devastated but with still tangible mighty of the past – well suited to serve to Armenian nationalists and now already starting to move towards consumerist charm of the tourist object, but the restoration of the medieval city walls rather resemble soviet submarines fuel containers. The Lion Gate and a large section of the adjoining towers and walls were badly damaged in an appalling and amateurish reconstruction organised by the Turkish Ministry of Culture during 1996/1997
SOLSTICE MUMMERS SMASH TRINITY ROYAL ARCH FACE

On the Winter Solstice 2019 AD (12PC) a small group of Mummers visited Trinity College in Cambridge England and beheaded the statue of Henry VIIIth that sits in judgement over their gates. we have done this in an act of Class War. The college has refused to open its gates to the Proletariat, the colonised, the Workers and so as Mummers we are forced to strike its gates with Proletarian Class War Majik in order to precede an out right assault and bring this institution of power under the dictatorship of the Proletariat and the Reproductive Workers Councils of the World. We suspect that Trinity have already replaced the head with a paper-mache hollow head but this fools no one.
The fact that the British establishment routinely destroys and defaces the planet and all who live here on a daily basis, they are very vociferous in their defence of their stone carvings of bourgeois patriarchs such as Rhodes. Their defence consists also of a defence of history and truth. Lol. It is long clear to everyone how distorted, in their own image, this version of truth and history really is. In 2020 the British colonial government in Australia is celebrating the invasion of Australia by lieutenant Cooke and the Endeavour by reconstructing it and sailing it around Australia even though Cockface himself never circumnavigated the continent. thus the colonial capitalist powers are re-staging history in order to glorify their barbaric invasion and subsequent genocidal culture which continues today. So those who defend the statues of murderers rapists such as Henry Tudor or James Cooke or indeed Rhodes himself as he has at Oxfords oriel college argue that they defend history this is a wholly undialectical and monolithic view of history. because within history is always in fact the history of history. and there is no history of history of history of history of history as they would argue 0 since dialectically these are already present also as the history of (history of history) or (history of history ) of history. colonialism and decolonialism as dialectical moments are as yet unresolved,. in this arc also is the Shoah which continues with the creation of South Germany in 1948, the moment of this foul synthesis!
HURUFFIYYAH 3SF WORLD CUP IN ALINJA: AUGUST 23, 12PC

The burial of Fazlallah’s body in Alinja was the beginning of the whole process of “return” to origins at the end of time. The shrine was a metonymic marker for the impending apocalypse. That’s why peregrine DAMTPT’s took the route from the birth place of Isou (who spoiled letterism by turning it to art) towards the death place of the inventor of unspoiled yet lettrism (hurufiyyah). DAMTPs call this period between 2 points in time The Age of Divinity. And believe the peregrination to be its unwinding.
Travel to it is an equivalent of return to one’s origin. While God’s creation Adam had begun the connection between humanity and divinity, Fazlallah’s body interred into shrine at Alinja most fully realized the potential divinity within the humans.

One of the peregrines, who acknowledged being a double agent of DAMTP and bourgeois art system, had a dream just before making a last decision to join DAMTP’s peregrination. She dreamed the Ararat (Agri Dagi) mountain and there was a letter to appear on a top of it. Like this
That was an excuse to do a stop by the mountain. Though the psychic worker who was driving a car missed the best view of the mountain and did a stop in a place which was at a bigger distance from mountain itself and spoiled with some traces of human, non-human and more-then-human activities (there were some houses, heap of hay, or straw, or dung under the bright blue cover, few mountains obstructed the lower part of Ararat… and also a donkey in a front. It took some time for already angry and desperate worker to get back to concentration, and she saw exactly the same letter from her dream on the mountain’s top again.
ABRACADABRA-C recognized situation from Alytus Art Strike Biennial issue of 2009, when instead of providing donkey to the artists as he had a request for, artist himself was brought to a donkey some 100 kilometres away.
SWIMMING IN EUPHRATES: AUGUST 21ST

After seemed already lost from the sight the beginnings of the Euphrates river, ABRACADABRA-C decided to stop by the first water basin appeared in a walking distance from the road to Erzurum. It was Tercan Dam on the Tuzla River, which is one of the two sources for Euphrates. Peregrines went to swim into the silent waters, which according to the different confessions either come from Paradise or stream to it.
As everybody got to know that Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial started from a moment when Stewart Home jumped into a pond during Art Strike Biennial in Alytus in 2PC and since then swimming is essential to any psychic striking praxis. Following that great tradition peregrines did a multitude of swimming events on their peregrination around Black Sea.

BOĞAZKALE///HATTUSA 3SF - Kicking a Ball into a Royal Lions Line Collider: AUGUST 20TH, 12PC

It was predicted to have an autoritaticidal or un-winning or unwinding 3SF World Cup in Hattusa. That was initiated by DAMTP’s wish to supersede Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial organization by empowering more of self-organization instead. Hattusa seemed to be perfect because of involvement into the oldest recorded facts of regicide (Mursili I was executed by his own soldiers in 1526 BC) and peace making (Hatushili III signed a Peace Treaty with Ramses II in 1269 BC).
Peregrine DAMTPs entered Boğazkale (Turkish name for Hattusa) and were stopped by a man who later appeared to be a mayor of the town. He asked to enter the house he was standing by. There was a place for community meetings and improvised shop selling handcrafted souvenirs made by local Kurdish women co-operative. After getting drained of some Turkish liras and showing solidarity to women co-operation psychic workers got escorted by the mayor himself to Yazilikaya Temple were they got some dinner as well. While waiting for the food workers got tempted by the sellers of the handcrafted replicas of Hittites sculptural figures carved in the stone, which in original view possible to see just few meters away from selling table. There on the wall just opposite to the main façade is depicted the King Tudhaliya IV holding a rod in a way 3SF players did in Kaliakra transmitters’ place. The temple is a place to see Hittite practise of assimilating other cultures' gods into their own pantheon – at the same ease as the Kurdish guy was handcrafting its replicas to be sold as souvenirs. After coming back from the Temple he met DAMTP’s again and offered the same items for a half price.
The next stop for peregrines was to go back to Hattusa – the remnants of capital of the Hittite Empire in the late Bronze Age. It was an hour remaining until it gets dark and a half an hour remaining until this open-air museum closes. Originally at least six gates let people enter the interior of the city, but now just 3 of them are remaining: The Lion gate, The Sphinx Gate and The King’s Gate. 3SF version with 6 goalposts yet to be reinvented.
KAYMAKLI 3SF [UNDER]WORLD CUP: AUGUST 19-20TH, 12PC

It was hard to find space, time and class to do a world cup in Cappadocia. Two-dimensionality of the screen-like surrounding corrupted the minds of peregrines. Carrying a ball through all those tourist places gave a single remind that there is something to be done besides making countless photos and having very rough contact with the workers around: exchange of swear words with a guy used to cash-in from everybody proceeding to upper part of Göreme Sunset Point, or being upset by the offer to get out of the family photo still of somebodies. The contact to psychic workers happens with some footballers, who were very pleasant to swap few ball kicks, and then both sides rushed to join their run-away groups in making hundreds of snapshots, which are done every day in thousands. Therefore, it was the place where Cappadocian Fathers were used to play 3 sided football as combination of Action, rhetoric and thinking in circa 340AD through 380AD. Besides and during the playing they developed the doctrine of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit, which had reached substantially its current form, and also they did much in applying it to the human being.
Eventually DAMTP’s got to Kaymakli Underground City, which is turned into a kind of attraction park with guided tours. But the structure of this arrangement is confusing enough. It takes some time to find a ball if one kicks it into some hole, because any linear logic here doesn’t work. The structure of the 3SF was based on unpredictability of the ball trajectory and/or the location of any of players. Ball as well as players appears unpredictably in some upper or lower locations and then disappears again. In the beginning psychic workers tried to define the goalposts, but later-on any hole in a wall, ground or ceiling became the beginning of the endless syzygy of the goalposts in a row or quantum tunnelling as dreamed by FIASCO.
TUZ GÖLÜ 3SF WORLD SALT CUP: AUGUST 19TH, 12PC

Tuz Gölü Salt Lake was discovered accidentally on the way to Cappadokia – fellow peregrines wanted to swim in a lake. When seeing a lake, the driver (being himself a psychic worker and “double agent”) immediately turned out of the road and stopped by. There was no water in this lake – just salt as far one can see. The psychic workers linked it to a salty mountain in Lopătari.
DAMTP’s did a set-up of the hexagonal pitch and were ready to do routine 3SF World Cup. Bigger part of the game was proceeding beyond the pitch in the endless latitudes of unspoiled space – the gusts wind rolled a ball in a speed equal psychic worker’s average running speed. Player, tired from gaining the ball outside the pitch, takes a rest while playing inside the pitch. Then next run beyond the spot and so again and again…
One camera while recording the game fall down and got unrepairable damaged. The camera was owned by the worker who noticed the lake first.
