MACHINERY SET ALIGHT IN MEMORY OF TORTUGUITA.

via: Scenes From the Atlanta Forest.

16th January, Weelaunee USA.

To Shadowbox Studios,
You dumb motherfuckers left your feller buncher near the highway where everyone could see it lit the fuck up in the night sky. You’re all fucking losers and we hope the extra rain sank its lifeless corpse so deep in the mud that it takes weeks to get it out.

To everyone else,
There is still a forest to defend, and some of us intend to do so with or without a “movement” to back us up. There is more to the Weelaunee forest than the section that is fenced off and under 24/7 police occupation. We vowed to defend the forest from Blackhall too. No matter what the project is, anything destroying forests must be met with the same rage, hostility, and violence. Weelaunee is our home and we will not abandon it.

Fuck a feller buncher. Fuck Shadowbox Studios. Hollywood will burn wherever it decides to go, as will the pigs trying to protect it.

Pictured below is a visual representation of the region of woods under threat. There is still much to lose, but also many opportunities to strike. Take them.

For Tort, who brings rain to cover the tracks of saboteurs everywhere, who brings them quick wits, good luck, and eternal protection in the treeline of the ever-abundant and growing forest. We will never forget you, and nothing will ever extinguish the fire you set in our hearts. May it spread everywhere and always.”

THE ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT DESTROYS TWO HUNTING TRAPS AND LIBERATES THREE HENS AND A ROOSTER.

ENGLISH (translation):

“Tonight a rooster and three chickens locked up by a hunter were freed from an unjust imprisonment that did not allow them to live a life worthy respectful of their needs. Also found inside the shack were two trapping cages that were destroyed and a message was left for the hunter.

We believe that denying freedom to our animal brethren is always unjust; therefore, for us disobedience is a moral responsibility that we will never fail until every cage is empty. GO!

A.L.F ♥”

ITALIAN (original):

“Stanotte un gallo e tre galline detenute da un cacciatore sono stati liberati da un’ingiusta prigionia che non gli permetteva di vivere una vita degna e rispettosa della propria etologia. All’interno delle baracche abusive sono state trovate anche due gabbie trappola per la cattura di animali che sono state distrutte ed è stato lasciato un messaggio all’infame.

Crediamo che negare la libertà ai nostri fratelli animali sia sempre ingiusto; pertanto, per noi la disobbedienza è una responsabilità morale a cui non verremo mai meno until every cage is empty. GO!

A.L.F ♥”

TEN CHICKENS LIBERATED FROM AN EGG FARM. IN MEMORY OF TORTUGUITA.

19th January, North UK

Received anonymously via email: 



“Under the dark blanket of the night we broke into a caged chicken egg farm and took ten chickens away from the bars and into freedom. Thousands were left behind in a dystopian barn, imprisoned to produce profits for a farmer who sees them as nothing else but stock.

Those ten chickens will now discover grass, mud, sun rays and rain. They will get to experience the outside, they will be able to make friends or to take some time to themselves, they will no longer be valued based on their productivity, they will slowly regain their personhood.

When we walked out the barn, hearing the gentle chattering of the hens, we spared a thought for Tortuguita, murdered a year ago by the filth for protecting Weelaunee. We riot from afar, in raging memory.

We are tired of strategising action like liberation is a chess board. We don’t know what works, but we know that fighting is the only way of surviving an increasingly oppressive system that subjugates us all for profit. Be it arson against the machine or the liberation of crickets from a pet shop, don’t let your spirit dwindle and keep fighting.

Action is oxygen to the blessed flame.

WHAT HAPPENS TO NON-HUMAN COMRADES WHEN POLITICAL IMPRISONMENT HITS US?

translation by darknights

Note: After the raid carried out by the bastard PDI (investigative police) on November 4, 2022 at the home of comrade “Tortuga” for the Susaron Case, a cop beat his cat comrade who was paraplegic by birth, dying from internal injuries on November 12, 2022. We reproduce this reflection which was taken from a fanzine that was distributed in a solidarity activity with political prisoners held on November 20, 2022 in Villa Francia, Santiago de Chile.

To Tony, non-human comrade assassinated by the cops and the pain that prison produces.

Memory is not a single poetic act of narrative, it is the multiple and permanent vindictive actions that bring the living memory of what lies dead: those murdered by the state and capital. From the widest and existing revolutionary positions, we call from and to the anarcho-vegan positions in favor of total liberation, a slogan that is not synonymous with freak vegan fairs or getting happy for the vegan corner of the supermarket, or selling soy in the square, it seems necessary to problematize the situation of vulnerability that our non-human compañerxs live, who live together and share our daily lives; For us it is not a mere discourse to practice horizontality with the animals that live and suffer together with us the violence of capitalism and the patriarchal state.

In this case we want to encourage criticism and consideration of the situations presented by not few animals forcibly separated from their human compas, in raids, arbitrary detentions and political kidnappings, presenting various symptoms associated with loneliness, grief, stress and general health. We consider them as sentient beings, we witness and share their pain, many times they are left without the care, affection and containment that their human compañerxs used to give them, it is here where we must also be critical, support and show solidarity with the non-human compas, our attention and energy must consider them, never obviate or make them invisible, it is part of being consistent and conscious of our political stance.

We do not forget our non-human compañerxs, we will not abandon them, that solidarity transcends species, for a human, animal and earth liberation. We call to multiply the gestures of support and vindicate the memory of all non-human comrades fallen in this struggle, that our speech does not die in our mouths.

For all our compañerxs fallen at the hands of the cops, the dogs, and their harmful consequences.

Compañero Tony, your pain and blows that provided your permanent absence remain in our hearts and memory.

May the earth be kind to you.

Nota: Tras el allanamiento efectuado por la bastarda PDI (policía de investigaciones) el 4 de noviembre de 2022 en el domicilio del compañero “Tortuga” por el Caso Susaron, un rati golpeó a su compañero gatuno quien era de nacimiento parapléjico, muriendo a causa de las heridas internas el 12 de noviembre de 2022. Reproducimos esta reflexión la cual fue sacada de un fanzine que fue repartido en una actividad solidaria con lxs presxs políticxs realizada el día 20 de noviembre de 2022 en Villa Francia, Santiago de Chile.

A Tony, compañerx no humanx asesinado por la yuta y la pena que produce la prisión.

La memoria no es un acto poético único de la narrativa, son las múltiples y permanentes acciones reivindicativas que traen el recuerdo vivo de lo que yace muerto: lxs asesinadxs por el estado y el capital. Desde los más amplios y existentes posicionamientos revolucionarios, convocamos desde y a las posturas anarcovegan a favor de la liberación total, consigna que no es sinónimo de ferias veganas frikis o ponerse feliz por el rincón vegano del super, ni vender soja en la plaza, es que nos parece necesario problematizar la situación de vulnerabilidad que viven nuestrxs compañerxs no humanxs, quienes conviven y comparten nuestro cotidiano; y es que para nosotrxs no es mero discurso practicar la horizontalidad con lxs animalxs que conviven y sufren junto a nosotrxs las violencias del capitalismo y el estado patriarcal.

En este caso queremos incentivar la crítica y consideración de las situaciones que presentan no pocxs animales separadxs forzosamente de sus compas humanxs, en allanamientos, detenciones arbitrarias y secuestros políticos, presentando diversos síntomas asociados a la soledad, la pena el estrés y de salud en general. Les consideramos seres sintientes, evidenciamos y compartimos su dolor, muchas veces quedan sin los cuidados, sin el cariño y la contención que le brindaban sus compañerxs humanxs, es aquí donde también debemos ser críticxs, apoyar y solidarizar con lxs compas no humanxs, nuestra atención y energía debe considerarles, nunca obviarlo ni invisibilizarlo, es parte de ser consecuentes y conscientes de nuestra postura política.

No olvidamos a nuestrxs compañerxs no humanxs, no los vamos a abandonar, que la solidaridad trascienda las especies, por una liberación humana, animal y de la tierra. Llamamos a multiplicar los gestos de apoyo y reivindicar la memoria de todxs lxs compañerxs no humanxs caídxs en esta lucha, que nuestro discurso no muera en la boca.

Por todxs nuestrxs compas caídxs a manos de la yuta, la cana y sus nefastas consecuencias.

Compañero Tony, tu pena y golpes que proporcionaron tu ausencia permanente queda en nuestros corazones y memoria.

Que la tierra te sea leve.

ANARCHISTS GLUE BUTCHER SHOPS AND CHURCH LOCKS IN MEMORY OF ANGRY.

26th December Santiago Chie.

ENGLISH (translation, via darknights):

“The last days of December in the midst of the consumerist frenzy for the end of the year celebrations, we, some anarchic individualities, decided to act in memory of our comrade Sebastian Oversluij, 10 years after his death, who was killed by the guard of a bank branch in Pudahuel, when he tried to expropriate it on December 11, 2013.

We grieve for your death Angry… we grieve for your last moments… but we are proud of the life you chose to live. We embrace your anarchic conviction, we embrace your kaos.

In your memory we seal padlocks of a center of profit and animal exploitation, as well as three butcher shops and two places of religious and authoritarian indoctrination, all this in Santiago, Chile.

Sebastián Oversluij presente!
Solidarity with the anti-speciesist and anarkist prisoners.
Nothing is settled.

WOLF MURDERERS GO INTO HIDING AFTER BEING TARGETED WITH CALTROPS.

13th January, Norway.

According to pro hunting reports, several wolf hunters in Norway have been targeted over night, with activists placing caltrops around their personal homes.

The wolf cull in Norway seeks to murder 18 wolves throughout the country in 2024. The latest wolf census for the country showed a total of 89 wolves living in Norway.

Environmental minster and known wet wipe Andreas Bjelland Eriksen has publicly condemned the actions, saying “I have full respect for the fact that many people want to challenge predator management, but this is done through democratic processes such as campaigning in front of Parliament and being clear in the media, not through illegal actions that can be directly dangerous for those doing a job for the community,”

The “vandalism” and “illegal actions” referred to by Andreas is the direct attack to several hunters who are actively attempting to kill wolves in Kongsvinger area.

Since the news of the caltrops, the wolf cull in the area has been halted. Whilst the hunting team says it is due to the weather and difficult tracking conditions, the police says it is difficult to know when they’ll be ready to go back out hunting.

LOCKS GLUED AT SEVERAL CAFES.

12th January, Copenhagen Denmark.

received anonymously via email:

“Activists had been in contact with the largest coffee chain in Denmark last year about switching to plant based milk as default, and after applying pressure to the company, they agreed they’d try out plant based by default in Copenhagen from January 2024. They lied.

Because of this, activists put super glue in the locks of many of their cafes in Copenhagen and left a clear message on their doors: “ditch dairy”. Activists also left the same message on several other of their cafes, as well as the entrance to their main office in Denmark.

It’s of course not only dairy that we’re against, but all abuse, exploitation and killing, but dairy seems to be the easiest place to start with cafes.”

“IF THE COPS KILL ME I WANT YOU TO RIOT” AVENGE TORTUGUITA.

anonymous submission:

“If the cops kill me I want you to riot
Burn down their stations and set their cars alight
Know that I went out fighting and wish we all
Could just have peace and be free

We cannot have peace until this empire falls. Even then, peace takes work and freedom is a constant struggle. If the cops kill me I want you to riot, to kill as many of them as you can.” – Tort’s diary p. 121

Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police. It was a true warrior who made the forest its home, devoted their life to the struggle, and was willing to die a revolutionary death rather than be captured. We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality.

Rather than retreat into the bounds of comfort and safety, let us allow our memory of Tort to remind us of what it means to truly act in accordance with our values, and to challenge ourselves to follow through. We are rendered harmless only when we allow our fear of the enemy to eclipse our desires to defend the land and reduce this capitalist hellworld to ashes. Remember that the mechanisms of subjugation and control encroach all around us. Wherever you are, you need not venture far to find the veins of industry; go out and sever them.

We need not be concerned with optics and media portrayals. We have no interest in seeking validation, recognition, or understanding from the same media outlets — agents of the society we wish to destroy — that deadname and misgender Tortuguita and relentlessly whitewash its life as one of nonviolence and passivity. Additionally, to contort our actions to render them acceptable to the general public is to inevitably dull them to the point of irrelevance. To work only within the confines of the existent is to disarm ourselves completely. As anarchists, we are able to speak to each other in a language all our own. When we redecorate walls, shatter windows, and set fires, we speak to each other in ways that the media and the general public need not understand; we become beautiful. When we refuse legibility, when we refuse sympathy and demands, we refuse cooptation, we refuse recuperation, and we seek out life.

BANHADO RESISTE, A FAVELA STRIVING FOR AN ANARCHIST FUTURE.

submission via email:

Dear friends and comrades from the whole world: we’re addressing you this email to show what we are suffering and to show you our struggle.

Down here, in the third world, Latin America, Brasil, things are getting tougher everyday. To live here is to live exploited by the rest of your life receiving a minimum wage, and this talking about those who are privileged enough to receive a minimum wage – but there are those who don’t have nothing.

In the favelas for example, very common in Brazil, we fight everyday for the past 100 years against the State, the Police and the Capital.

In this context, the Favela do Banhado, located in the city of São José dos Campos, Brazil, is leading a “green revolution” against the gentrification and the speculators, against the Prefecture and the Judiciary, and against the Police and the Media.

Through a hard, class counsciousness, grassroots envoronmentalist struggle, Banhado is showing to the world it’s beauty and it’s fight. And this fight, is just like David against Goliath.

We are waging a campaign at FireFund.net to raise 15.000 euros to completely transform our community. It’s sad but it’s true: if the State don’t stand for the people, we can only do things with money.

With your support and the help of other “privileged” countries, we can make huge and even miracle things happen down here, at the third world.

Help us transform the Favela do Banhado into a turistic, left-wing, ecological, spot in São José dos Campos.
