WAYNE HSIUNG IN JAIL AWAITING SENTENCING; WRITE A LETTER TODAY!

After an eight weeks court case for the open rescue of chickens and ducks, Wayne was found guilty of one count of felony conspiracy to commit trespass and two misdemeanour trespass charges, for entering the chicken supplier Sunrise Farms. On the charges related to the duck farm, the jury did not come to an unanimous decision.

The court case was a massive overreach by the justice system, banning Wayne and his two codefendants from talking to the press and even from mentioning why they had taken action to rescue animals in the farms. No mention of animal welfare was allowed.

It is also important to mention that, after multiple failed cases against him, prosecution decided to drop the burglary and theft charges in favour of conspiracy to trespass, as it was a more likely guilty outcome. This shows that their “crime” was a lot less important than their thirst for “punishment”.

Wayne is scheduled to receive his sentencing on the 30th of November, and will be spending the month in jail. You can write to him at:

Wayne Hsiung (Inmate #264701) 
Main Adult Detention Facility
2777 Ventura Avenue 
Santa Rosa, CA 95403
USA

Needless to say that you should not mention any illegal activities in your letters, for the good of Wayne but also for your own safety! Write on white paper only and use white envelopes too, colour paper is apparently VERY BAD for the prison system, imagine if someone had a little fun! 

The whole list of writing rules (and if needed, the updated address) can be found on

RECLAIMING BACK BUS STOP ADVERTISEMENT, THE EASY WAY.

Disclaimer for the feds: Incite, Conspire, Inspire is a solely-for-fun section never designed to give real advice. The tools, tactics, and ideas given in the series are only meant to entertain. We would never dream of anyone using any of these tools as a form of dissent, and we do not promote, partake in, or condone any illegal activities that might derive from said tools.

You don’t always have to carry a 6-sheet poster with you if you want to do some ad hacks. For a quick, opportunistic, and on-the-go kit that you can easily fit in your bag, you’ll need:

A marker: the bigger, the better
H60 security pin
Tx30
Four-way utility key

Once you’ve done a quick scan to make sure there’s no cops or security around, you can locate the lock. The placement depends on the model, but usually you’ll find it in the bottom corner or middle on the side of the ad. Once you’ve located the lock, take a look and see which of your tools you’ll need. Often, you’ll be able to just pop open the ad with one tool, but sometimes the first lock will just open a panel and you’ll have to locate the keyhole. Remember, some ads open incredibly easily while others are fiddly and mechanisms can be rusty and stiff. Just take a breath and keep trying.

Now that you’ve opened the ad, you can pull the perspex door back as far as it’ll go and start making changes to the existing ad, turn it around and use the other side, or get rid of it entirely.

Brandalism has this great PDF if you want to do some further reading:

The website ‘Public Access’ tells you the exact tool you need to open the advertisement screens in your city.

You should be able to find all the tools you’ll need at your local hardware store.
Good luck reclaiming public spaces from advertisers.

HAMBACHER FOREST ANNOUNCES A SKILLSHARE FESTIVAL IN NOVEMBER

Hambi folk have asked to extend an invitation to all to join the forest in a nine day long festival and skillshare even at the end of November. Read their words below:

“The festival season is over? Not for us! While RWE is getting closer to us and the local government is already dreaming of getting rid of us altogether, we are still here and making life difficult for the state and capital! The Hambi is acutely threatened again, but we have the will to keep up the resistance together and with fun.

Some of you have already heard and now it is official: there will be a Skillshare Festiwald in November! We invite you to skillshares, music acts, climbing, actions, forest life and much more! The whole thing is as self-organized as possible, which means there is a lot of room for your ideas, wishes and input. So you can also add things to the program when you arrive and there will be a lot of stuff coming up spontaneously which is not in the program yet.

Let’s enjoy together what we defend here, let’s show that we are still eager to resist and whoever falls in love with forest life, we invite them to just stay with us!

What? Skillshare Festiwald
When? 17 to 26 November
Where? Occupation in the Hambach Forest

You can find the program, a packlist and further information in this blog post: https://hambacherforst.org/blog/2023/10/09/forestival-program-outline/

We also need help with spreading the news! So feel free to print out these posters and hang them up where people might see them.”

A SERIES OF HUNTING TOWER ARSONS MAKES THE POLICE BEG FOR CLUES.

Summer/autumn, Kreis Alzey Germany.

According to local media, the district of Kreis Alzey in Germany has seen a series of arson attacks in hunting towers since mid July. Towers in Albig, Heimersheim, Flonheim, Siefersheim and Bornheim have been set alight, destroying them to ashes but causing no issues to the woods or scrub around the area. The police “heavily suspects arson” and asks for any clues that might help find the culprits. So far, they have nothing to even start the investigation.

PAL ACTION LAUNCHES UNDERGROUND CELLS AND A NEW TARGETS WEBSITE.

Do you live in the UK and hate that Great Britain is complicit in the murder of Palestinians? Have you been to demos, but they just did not cut it for you? Did you consider joining Pal Action at one of their blockades or sieges, but you did not fancy getting nicked? This might be just what you’re looking for!

Pal Action, the British action group campaigning against the weapons companies manufacturing the tools used by the Israeli government to murder in Palestine, has launched a new underground cells call to action.

Previously known for very devastating but arrestable actions, Pal Action has launched Palestine Action Underground, a call for anonymous and autonomous cells to take underground direct action against Elbit and all associates who aid them into the manufacturing of weapons.

They have put together an incredibly comprehensive manual which, even if you are not interested in taking action against Elbit, is an incredible blueprint on how to create an affinity group and take action whilst keeping safe. We would like to mention that some of the tech advice is questionable (we would never recommend anything less than throwaway emails, and drop box is not a safe media platform), but overall they have managed to create a very impressive guide to taking action whilst keeping yourself and your insurrectionary lovers safe.

Check their action guide here:

bit.ly/UndergroundManual

Alongside the manual, they also have published a ver nifty website with a map of the UK pointing out all the potential targets that someone fighting back against British complicity in the Palestinian genocide might want to have a look at.

Have a look at the resources and see how you can help fight back against the bloodshed that Britain is complicit of!

ZERO STATE SOLUTION! DESTROY THE INVADER!

SOME ANTI-ZIONIST JEWS SET A CAT BULLDOZER ON FIRE IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE.

26th October. North Carolina USA.

originally published on Scenes from the Atlanta forest:

“We set fire to a Cat/Caterpillar bulldozer in Western North Carolina recently; Caterpillar company is responsible for many decades of apartheid enforcing, home and olive grove demolishing, & extreme land destruction in Palestine, displacing many Palestinians & now aiding Israel’s terrible war & genocide. One act of solidarity with Palestine people can do is burn Caterpillar/Cat machines everywhere.

~Some anti-zionist Jews”
