Claim of Responsibility for Asheville Arson

Posted on by ellipsism

there were a lot of so-called anarchists at the acab bookfair but we’re not sure what you nerds do besides read books. we dont know how to read so instead we burned those cop cars. even though they were parked right behind the police/fire station nobody noticed until it was too late and the cars were “completely destroyed.” we were just gonna leave it unclaimed because it seemed funnier that way, but we were just thinking about how cool march 5th was and we remembered theres a whole movement about it! there were 200 of us there that day, what are the rest of you up to? theres freakin pigs everywhere and their cars are extremely flammable. burning a cop car might be the easiest thing you’ve done in your life, it was for us. -march 5th movement

Rail Sabotage at July 2023 WOA

Posted on by ellipsism

During the last week of action in Atlanta, some of us sabotaged various parts of Norfolk Southern’s rail infrastructure on the outskirts of the city. Norfolk Southern is one of Cop City’s funders.

 

1. We set fire to a signal box by cutting the lock with bolt cutters, stuffing the box with dried pine needles and trash, and lighting a road flare.

2. We disabled another signal box by cutting the lock with bolt cutters, lighting two fireworks held together with tape, and shutting the door of the box with fireworks inside.

3. We connected the rails with a set of jumper cables to signal a blockage on the track to be cleared. The actions were simple and unsurveilled.

 

More experimentation is needed to see if this actually stops or delays trains. That is the main reason we have waited until now to claim this action. But it certainly cost Norfolk Southern money, and that’s better than nothing. Our original intent was not propaganda of the deed, but to cause economic harm. However, in light of the recent RICO charges, we realized that people might need a little encouragement on how to respond. Norfolk Southern owns and operates many railroads across the country east of the Mississippi.

 

The best defense is a strong offense!

Understanding the RICO Charges in Atlanta: A Sweeping Indictment Seeks to Criminalize Protest Itself

Posted on by ellipsism

Since the beginning of 2023, prosecutors in Georgia have threatened to charge activists protesting against a planned police militarization facility known as “Cop City” with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Last week, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr indicted 61 people on RICO charges in Fulton County.

In indiscriminately lumping together scores of arrestees, many of whom have ostensibly never met, into a fabricated conspiracy case, the prosecution is attempting to criminalize protest itself. This case represents politically driven repression aimed at suppressing all forms of activism and dissent, in the style of Vladimir Putin. It should be of interest to anyone who is concerned about civil liberties such as the freedom to protest or the freedom to advocate against police brutality and authoritarianism or in favor of preserving the environment.

The indictment does not seem to indicate that prosecutors have any previously unreleased information at their disposal indicating the existence of a conspiracy, in the sense that the word is ordinarily employed. Rather, they have brought new charges against those whose names they already had as the result of previous arrests, and are now clumsily endeavoring to frame them as participants in a cohesive criminal enterprise.

The defendants include 42 people already charged with “terrorism” for allegedly participating in the movement to #StopCopCity, many of them on the basis of actions as simple as entering a forest or posting to social media; three more people already charged with felonies for allegedly distributing handbills; and another three people charged last May with “money laundering” and other crimes for organizing legal support for activists.

The only thing that connects all of these indictees is that they all appear to have been arrested or detained at some point, however randomly, on suspicion of protesting against the government’s plan to destroy the Weelaunee Forest.

Prime Minister’s House Burned in Uprising Against Negotiations with Israel in Libya

Posted on by ellipsism

Protesters set fire to the house of Libyan unity prime minister Abdul Hamid Dbeidé overnight from Sunday to Monday and stormed the headquarters of the foreign ministry. Protesters wrote “Down with the government of traitors” on the walls of the ministry’s headquarters, while gunshots were heard inside the building. Demonstrations were also reported in other cities outside of Tripoli and roads were blocked.

These protests and others erupted in the country, after the foreign minister met in Italy with his Israeli counterpart, when relations between the two countries are non-existent. Libya does not recognize the State of Israel and is a historical ally of the Palestinian cause. The Libyan Prime Minister announced the suspension of the functions of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Montreuil: La Baudrière under eviction threat from august 21st

Posted on by ellipsism

Why defend La Baudrière

La Baudrière is an anarcha-feminist queer* squat that opened in November 2021 in Montreuil (a city located in Paris’ suburbs). A lot of people meet here, they come for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks. They came there to live, to learn, to party, to organize. La Baudrière is full of their memories.

Now, eviction is looming, and for us, who use this place in so many different ways, it is time for us to defend this space.

We are calling any non-cis het men to colelctively defend La Baudrière, from the 21st of August onwards.

Here are some of the reasons why we want to resist. Down with the landlords and the evictors, down with the gentrifiers !
