AFTER 21 YEARS, DANIEL SAN DIEGO IS KIDNAPPED BY THE POLICE.

As has been widely reported, Daniel San Diego was arrested this week in Wales, 21 years after he was named as a person of interest in two bombings at companies connected to the notorious animal research laboratory Huntingdon Life Sciences.

At this moment, we would like to be clear that Daniel has not been charged with, nor convicted for these actions and is therefore, as far as society is concerned, innocent until proven guilty.

While he has been wanted by the FBI for two decades, he has never escaped custody and has not been ‘on the run’. He has seemingly chosen not to talk to an organisation that labelled him as significant a threat as Bin Laden (who they famously assassinated in his own home).

We would encourage everyone to respect Daniel’s position at this time, and to avoid speculation, or praising/critiquing him for actions he may have played no part in.

We will of course keep you updated, and offer whatever support we can as we learn more.

TWO HUNTING TOWERS DESTROYED.

19th November, Dorset UK.

Received anonymously via email:

“Two shooting towers have been toppled by concerned citizens in Dorset. These structures were being used to kill our wildlife, and so the supports were damaged, and the towers knocked down. We hope we have brought our fellow animals at least a few nights of safety.”

HOWLING WOLF COMMANDO SET TWO MEAT TRUCKS ON FIRE IN MEMORY OF LOBO.

25th November, Lincolnshire UK

Received anonymously via email:

[editor’s note: Image unrelated, arson at Harlan trucks in Canada, 2015]

“On the night of the anniversary of the death of Lobo, Elefteria Hambi, we set alight two meat trucks parked on the road next to a slaughterhouse in Lincolnshire. We placed a small bottle of gasoline next to the front tyre and used fire starter paste to create a quick fuse that would allow us to monitor the safety of the operation. With no buildings or people around, the operation was successful and nobody risked being hurt.

We remember through fire, with the hope that from the ashes we can build a world all our martyrs would be proud of.

Lobo never forgotten.
Kyriakos Ximitris always present.

Howling wolf commando.”

SCENES FROM THE ATLANTA FOREST CLOSES DOWN.

We have received a canary from Scenes for public release. They have been closed down after their hosts became under pressure. Read their words below:

“This is our last canary, you can find our pgp key on our canary page at https://web.archive.org/web/https://scenes.noblogs.org/submissions/promise/

As of 11/22/2024(MM/DD/YYYY), no-one working on this project, nor the project itself has ever received a National Security Letter, an order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, has been contacted by law enforcement, contacted by any government entity, has been served a subpoena for a Grand Jury related to this project, or any other classified request for user information. If we ever receive such a request, we would seek to let the public know.

This project has come to a close.
The noblogs team Autistici/Inventati decided to shut down this blog shortly following the republication of the Heritage Foundation dox from againstbeltwayfascism.noblogs.org and after the dox of the Elbit Systems of America. This blog hosted a great deal of antagonistic content over the years, and we are thankful to the Autistici/Inventati team for allowing a majority of the content to remain up for so long. They undoubtedly tolerated a great deal of resistance – we trust that their decision to shut down the blog did not come lightly.

the addresses published in the aforementioned two doxxes are still easily available on https://web.archive.org/web/sceneshosting.blackblogs.org and https://web.archive.org/web/20240815105347/https://againstbeltwayfascism.noblogs.org/the-fascists-of-the-heritage-foundation/, https://web.archive.org/web/20240815105347/https://againstbeltwayfascism.noblogs.org/heritage-staff-listed-as-contributors/, and a significant archive of the rest of the blog is hosted at https://web.archive.org/web/https://scenes.noblogs.org/

This site served as a nexus for anonymous publication, a space for engaging in dialogue with other rebels, and a place to spread complicity and proliferate autonomous activitiy.

Please keep those who are languishing in jails for accusations related to this movement in your hearts- better yet, send them letters.
Continue fighting for the end of RICO charges.
Never forget Tortuguita, a hero whose bravery cannot be understated.
Continue fighting for a world without markets, hierarchy, and fascism.

For a time, the struggle in the atlanta forest was one of the powerful torches that carried the flames of antagonstic anarchist destruction. We hold our actions in this struggle proudly, and hope you do as well.
We will never forget the weelaunee forest, we will never forgive those that perpetrated its destruction.

!Viva Tortuguita!

Nothing is Finished
Everything Continues

THE MINK TRIAL FUNDRAISER IS STILL UP, GRAB SOME LIMITED EDITION MERCH NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! 



As many of you know, we are organising a fundraiser to support the legal costs that Cara and Celeste might face due to their arrest following the release of 600 mink from a fur farm.

They spent a few weeks in jail and after bail modifications they were able to come out awaiting trial. They are facing multiple charges, including felony eco-terrorism, and have a long road ahead in court. For that reason, we are selling limited edition t-shirts and prints, which all profits going directly to their fundraising link.

Artists @daisy.lotta, @zerofoursixeight and @steveortiz_art designed artwork which we are printing on A4 size, matt finished recycled paper (they look amazing!!) and @praxis_vgz designed a t-shirt, which we are screen printing on NoSweat garments (cooperative made, organic, eco friendly threads!)

You can grab one or more items, we sell the prints individually or as a collection and we are still running the pre-order for t-shirts too. If you grab a print collection AND a t-shirt, we will also send a bunch of stickers that Praxis designed for us totally free of charge just as a thank you <3

As always, Unoffensive Animal is not a shop. You choose your price on the item’s page, so donate however much you can afford. All the fundraising items are pre-orders and the run will close on the 12th of December, so go order one before it is too late! Remember that if you order any other items alongside the pre-order items, they will be sent together once the tees are printed.

You can find the prints and t-shirts here:

https://unoffensiveanimal.is/product-category/mink-trial-solidarity

If you can’t afford grabbing a tee or a print, please share this fundraiser far and wide! Also, if you do not want to grab any items but would still like to donate, this is the fundraising link:

www.unoffensiveanimal.is/nu2

Remember that Cara and Celeste have NOT been found guilty of any charges, so do not treat them like such. Instead, treat them like any other human who needs support when the state tries to bite back.

Solidarity is our biggest weapon!

HOW TO REPORT DIRECT ACTION TO UNOFFENSIVE ANIMAL

Hey friends! Every now and then we like to make a post like this, where we outline what we do (and don’t do) and how anonymous activists can report their direct actions safely. Read below, and please understand that it is on you to work out what your threat model is, and how many security steps you need!

To start with, let us be very clear: Unoffensive Animal DOES NOT take illegal action, we do not know who does and we cannot get you in touch with the ALF. We are an anonymous reporting platform, we receive anonymous reports and share them publicly, we have done so for almost a decade and all we try to do is keeping you safe reporting your actions anonymously.

So, now that that’s clear, why should people report actions? One can simply do stuff and they do not need to share about it online, even if anonymously! Whilst we believe this to be completely fair, we understand anonymous reporting as a way to talk to other anonymous comrades who also take action themselves, as a way to inspire others who might decide they can too take action and as a form of self expression. It also helps support prisoners by enlarging the platform and showing folks why prionser support is necessary (so that people take action knowing they’ll be supported by the community if they get into trouble!)

This is how you report anonymously to us:

1- Use the TOR browser. This browser has many characteristics that make you a little more anonymous. If you don’t have the TOR Browser, you can download it here: https://www.torproject.org/

2- Head to our website (www.unoffensiveanimal.is/contact-us) You will find a contact form where you can write whatever you want on it. Tell us your story, but do not tell us your name or other personal identifiers. Do mention when this happened, where it happened (even the name of the farm would be useful), tell us why it happened, dedicate it to a prisoner if you fancy…. We DO NOT want to know about your personal details. We also DO NOT want to know about your future plans. Please do not make us complicit. Not knowing is the best way for us to keep safe.

3- Do you have photos or video? Delete the metadata (send them on signal, then download them from signal if you want the very easiest way, but if not, just download EXIFEraser and use the software to clean the media). Then upload it to ufile.io or to wetransfer.com or whatever other service (as long as you do not give personal details). Make sure that the service keeps your media for a minimum of 7 days. We do not check emails every day. SEVEN DAYS MINIMUM! Paste the download link to the contact us box alongside the anonymous report.

4- Tap on Encrypt and send. The message will encrypt and be sent to us. You can now shut down TOR Browser. If report is not online within 2 weeks, you can re-send it. Maybe it’s gone missing. Before resending, please check the content and ensure you haven’t sent personal details, (we don’t share open rescues), also make sure the content wasn’t fucking racist, or sexist, or otherwise bigoted or insensitive to other oppressed peoples.

And that’s about it.

Get out there, mask up, cause trouble.

Solidarity always.

TO THE INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST MOVEMENT: THREE SECURITY PROPOSALS

via: NoTrace

This text is addressed to the international anarchist movement, which we’ll define as the sum of individuals fighting for anarchist ideas around the world. This movement is in conflict with its natural enemies — the State, fascist groups, and so on — and must protect itself if it is to survive in this conflict. In this text, we make three proposals for the international anarchist movement to consider in the coming years in order to allow anarchists to continue attacking while limiting their chances of getting caught.

1. Share knowledge internationally

Our enemies organize internationally through cooperation between police and intelligence agencies and new developments in science and technology — the increasing precision of DNA forensics and the proliferation of drones being just two examples. This means that a repressive technique used in one country may soon appear in another where it is not yet being used. It also means that an effective countermeasure used by anarchists in one country may be effective in another. We should therefore share knowledge of repressive techniques and countermeasures on an international level.

Ideally, any experience of repression or experimentation with countermeasures that might be of interest to other anarchists should be written up, translated into several languages, and made public. When anarchists are arrested and brought to trial, we can often obtain court documents that reveal how they were caught: we should exploit this and publish analyses of such documents, bearing in mind that information obtained in this way may be partial or distorted. We should experiment with new countermeasures and write and publish reports on these experiments (except in cases where the State might adapt and weaken the countermeasure by reading the report). We should try to collect information at the source: read police training manuals, steal police files, analyze data leaks from police servers.

A specific feature of the international anarchist movement is its decentralization. We see this not as a weakness but as a strength: in addition to preventing the hierarchies inherent in centralized organizations, it makes it harder for our enemies to target us because they cannot topple the whole movement by disrupting one part of it. However, this decentralization also makes it harder for us to share knowledge across borders. To overcome this, we see two options: developing informal bonds with other anarchists by meeting at international book fairs and other events, and using the Internet. We propose using the No Trace Project as an international platform to share the knowledge that is suited for sharing on the Internet, not as a replacement for informal bonds but as a useful supplement to spread information beyond existing informal networks.

2. Establish a security baseline

Anarchists who carry out direct actions should analyze the risks associated with their actions and take appropriate precautions: dress anonymously, be mindful of video surveillance and DNA traces, and so on. However, this is not enough. If only those who carry out actions take precautions, it is easier for our enemies to target these individuals. This is, firstly, because they stand out: if only a handful of comrades always leave their phones at home, for example, this could be an obvious starting point for an investigation with no other specific leads. And secondly, because our enemies can get information about them through their friends who do not carry out actions: if someone doesn’t use social media but is mentioned on their friends’ social media, for example, an investigation could query their friends’ social media to get information about them. We should therefore establish a security baseline that everyone in anarchist networks agrees to follow, including those who have never carried out direct actions and have no intention of doing so.

We can’t say what this baseline should be, as it will depend on each local context, but we can give some ideas. As a bare minimum, everyone should help hide information from our enemies by not speculating about who is involved in an action, not bragging about one’s own participation in an action, not talking to the police, and encrypting any computer or phone used for conversations with other anarchists using a strong password. Discuss sensitive matters exclusively outdoors and without electronic devices, and don’t make it obvious to your social environment who you are having sensitive conversations with (e.g. don’t ask someone to “go for a walk” in front of people who aren’t involved in the project being discussed). In addition, we think everyone should stop using social media (and definitely stop posting photos of other anarchists, even with their consent, because this helps the State map anarchist networks) and leave their phones at home at all times (not just during actions). Carrying your phone with you has security implications for everyone you interact with.

It can be difficult to convince people to follow such a security baseline, especially if they think they have no personal interest in following it. If someone is reluctant, we should remind them that it’s not just their security that’s at stake, but also the security of other anarchists around them who may be carrying out or planning to carry out direct actions. Everyone who wants actions to happen has an interest in making anarchist networks as difficult as possible for the authorities to repress.

3. Explore new horizons

Our enemies evolve over time as they refine their strategies and techniques. We should prepare not for the battles that already took place, but for those yet to come. We should therefore go beyond our current security practices, anticipate the evolution of our enemies, and develop new countermeasures.

Here are three issues we think the international anarchist movement should explore in the coming years.

Drones

Aerial surveillance is rapidly becoming cheaper and more efficient. How should we react to the presence of police drones at riots, anarchist events, and so on? How can we detect or take down drones? Should we prepare for the risk of drones being used for routine aerial patrols, and if so, how?

Facial recognition technologies

In 2023, a journalist tracked down German left-wing militant Daniela Klette, who had been in clandestinity for decades, by using facial recognition technology to match a decades-old photo of her with a recent photo from Facebook taken during a dance class. What can we do against this threat? How can we prepare for the increasing integration of facial recognition technology into public video surveillance systems?

Lack of insight into police activity

Until a few years ago, radio scanners were used by anarchists to monitor police frequencies, for example to learn about nearby police activity while carrying out a direct action. In most contexts, this is now impossible because police communications are encrypted. Can we develop new techniques to functionally replace radio scanners or, more generally, to gain insight into police activity in a given area?

About the authors

We’re the No Trace Project. For the past three years, we’ve been building tools to help anarchists understand the capabilities of their enemies, undermine surveillance efforts, and ultimately act without getting caught. We plan to continue in the years to come. We welcome feedback. You can visit our website at notrace.how, and contact us at [email protected].

Let’s prepare ourselves, and may luck be on our side.

EX-PRISONER TOBY SHONE IS FINALLY FREE IN THE FOREST!

Toby Shone walked free from HMP Garth on Monday 11th November after serving his entire sentence. He was released at 830am and picked up by friends and comrades. He has no licence conditions or restrictions.

The State made a few last desperate attempts to exercise their spite and misery at losing Toby, including removing another close comrade from his phone list four days before his release, but it was to no avail.

Nothing is over, everything continues.

WELCOME BACK TOBY <3
