HOW TO ACCESS BUS STOP ADVERTISEMENT SPACES.

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 on the series are only thought to entertain.

ADVERTISEMENT ON THE STREETS; A FUCKING BRAIN LIQUIDISER.

Advertisement shits in your head. It is fucking everywhere, in every corner, in every bus stop, in billboards, in newspapers, in TV, Youtube and the cinema… if they could, they would even print it in toilet paper! “Why does it shit in my head?”, you might ask, and the answer is clear. In this capitalist society, everything is designed to make you consume, to bend your perception towards specific “needs” you should purchase and “dreams” you should chase. Advertisement shits in your head.

Yet here we are, ready to fill your brain bucket with tools to unshit someone else’s brain. This bit of information allows you to do many things. It allows for the marriage of art and subversion, it reclaims spaces that never got consent from society to serve a different purpose, it gives you a chance to say what you want to say instead of having to listen to yet another fucking mind bending advertisement company.

So let’s get to it. What do we need to fuck with advertisements in the city? In many cases a paint bucket, a roller and a very long stick. Billboards tend to be accessible, and big. In other cases, you just need a printer and maybe a template, spending some hours designing new and informative things and printing them to then visit the underground and changing all the adds in the tube. In other cases, like bus stops and city lollipops, you might need a few keys to open those mindless pieces of metal and redesign them into pieces of art. And that is specially the type of brandalism we want to give you tools for.

There is a wonderful website called “Public Access” that tells you the exact tool you need to open the advertisement screens in your city. For the most part, that website is correct, but in some places you might need to do some extra investigation. If you discover mistakes in the website, do email them and let them know! You can get the name off the keys from the website and go steal them from the hardware store, eBay that shit and then complain it never arrived or simply email Public Access to order a set. It is up to you to decide how to acquire them.

Once you have those keys you need to try them out. Sometimes you might need a utility key (easy to find in most hardware stores) to access the side of the screen and be able to open the add glass. We also recommend wearing a HiViz and pretending you are actually a worker for the advert company. Whatever, that should empower you to not fear doing this in daylight.

You can find more info about how to exactly open the screens in the PDF below:

To sum it up, this is your shoplifting list:
– HiViz
– Key for the advertisement in your city
– Utility Key
– New artwork printed to size, or a big marker to tag stuff in the back
– Snaks.

There is also a nice read on how to switch off from the addiction to advertisement that we would recommend:

If you live in London and don’t like the adverts in the tube, there is also a nice little template to size so you can change those adverts as many times as you want:

MORE HUNTING TOWERS DESTROYED.


August, France.

reported anonymously via BiteBack Magazine:

“At the beginning of August, we, antispeciesist activists, destroyed several hunting towers at night.
When we arrived on the location, we were observing the environment around us when we saw a few meters from us a wild boar with her babies. While this encounter was somewhat scary in the middle of the night, it also gave us even more courage and anger. We had just met the people for whom we had come out of our comfort zone that evening.
We decided to go around them by a good hundred meters so we wouldn’t scare them but also (and above all) because we were afraid, not necessarily knowing how this mother could react when seeing humans coming so close and in the middle of the night, to her little ones.
On the edge of the forest, we saw the two fairly solid wooden hunting towers that we spotted before.
We unbolted some metal pieces that reinforced the structures and then we played with our strength to break as many planks / logs as possible.
We decided to film our action so that it could make others want to do the same!
Because special skills or specific material are not required for such actions, and breaking down the material that helps them kill is strategically relevant, it is important that everyone get started!
Locate the hunting towers around your home, on the edge of the woods overlooking the fields or in the middle of the forest, then go to the location at night for more discretion. Bring down and break down these structures allowing the massacre of families like the one we met that night.
We can’t just feel satisfyed with being against what this system is doing to the other animals. To achieve any change, we must and will act now! And each and every one of us has a role to play even if it is not always pleasant nor comfortable… For them, let’s get out of our comfort zone and use our human privileges for their liberation!”

French:
“Début aout, nous, activistes antispécistes, avons détruit deux tours de chasse de nuit.
Lorsque nous sommes arrivé.e.s sur les lieux, nous commencions à observer l’environnement qui se trouvait autour de nous quand nous avons vu à quelques mètres de nous une laie avec ses petit.e.s. Bien que cette rencontre fut quelque peu effrayante au beau milieu de la nuit, elle nous a également donné encore plus de courage et de rage. Nous venions de rencontrer les personnes pour lesquelles nous étions sorti.e.s de notre zone de confort ce soir là.
Nous avons décidé de les contourner d’une bonne centaine de mètres afin de ne pas les effrayer mais aussi (et surtout) parce que l’on avait peur, ne sachant pas forcément comment cette maman pourrait réagir en voyant des humain.e.s s’approcher si près et en pleine nuit, de ses petit.e.s.
En lisière de forêt, nous vu les deux tours de chasse en bois assez solides que nous avions repérées auparavant.
Nous avons déboulonné quelques pièces en métal qui renforçaient les structures puis nous avons joué de notre force pour casser le maximum de planches / rondins.
Nous avons décidé de filmer notre action afin qu’elle puisse donner envie à d’autres de faire de même !
Parce qu’il ne faut pas de compétences particulères ou de matériel spécifique pour de telles actions, et que casser le matériel qui les aide à tuer est stratégiquement pertinent, il est important que chacun.e s’y mette !
Repérer les tours autour de chez vous, en lisière de bois donnant sur les champs ou en pleine foret, puis rendez-vous sur les lieux de nuit pour plus de discrétion. Faites tomber et cassez ces structures permettant massacre de familles telles que celle que nous avons rencontré cette nuit.
Nous ne pouvons pas juste nous contenter d’être contre ce que ce système inflige aux autres animaux. Pour obtenir un quelconque changement, nous devrons et devons dès maintenant agir concrêtement ! Et chacun et chacune de nous à un rôle à jouer même si celui-ci n’est pas toujours agréable ni confortable… Pour elles et eux, sortons de notre zone de confort et utilisons nos privilèges humains pour leur libération !”

DOG RELEASED FROM HIS CHAIN.

July, Italy.

Via: frentedeliberacionanimal.net

“His neck had scars due to the chain. His mind was scared by loneliness. He will take a long time to trust humans again.

Now he has a chance to live somewhere where he will have love, an unknown emotion for him, hundreds of kilometres away from the cruelly he experienced.”

HUNTING TOWERS DESTROYED.

28th July, France.

received anonymously, via: Bite Back Magazine

“In France, around July 28, we, antispeciesist activists, destroyed two hunting towers.

We believe in the power of propaganda of the deed, and we believe that right now, there is nothing better than videos to motivate people who haven’t yet taken action to go for it.

When we see it, it motivates us, and we are surely not the only ones in this case!

Do something, film yourself, and share your actions anonymously.

Just remember to have large and anonymizing clothes.

We’re no different from you or the rest of the antispeciesists. We do not have incredible talents, nor extraordinary courage, but we train ourselves and we act to put an end to human supremacism over the rest of the animal species.

We’re no better than you, so don’t think you don’t have what it takes to act, really!

When the majority of antispeciesists will take action on common targets, we will very likely and finally be able to see changes for the victims of Speciesism, so let’s act! Now!”

French:
“En France, vers le 28 aout, nous, activistes antispécistes, avons détruit deux tours de chasse.

Nous croyons au pouvoir de la propagande par le fait, et nous pensons qu’actuellement, il n’y a rien de mieux que les vidéos pour donner envie de bouger à des gens qui n’ont pas encore franchi le pas.

Quand on en voit, ça nous motive, et on est sûrement pas les seul-es dans ce cas !

Agissez, filmez-vous, et partagez de façon anonyme vos actions.

Pensez juste à avoir des vêtements larges et anonymisants.

Nous ne sommes pas bien différent-es de vous ou du reste des antispécistes. Nous n’avons pas de talents incroyables, ni un courage extraordinaire, mais on se forme et on agit pour mettre fin au suprématisme humain sur le reste des espèces animales.

On n’est pas mieux que toi, alors ne penses pas que tu n’as pas ce qu’il faut pour agir, vraiment !

Quand la majorité des antispécistes passeront à l’action sur des cibles communes, on pourra très probablement enfin voir des changements advenir pour les victimes du Spécisme, alors agissons ! Maintenant !”

MORE FARMS SPRAYPAINTED IN FRANCE

3rd August, France

received anonymously:

“Several fattening camps in France, here a chicken farm in Marne, were painted with messages* making the connection between animal slavery and epidemics of zoonotic viruses, past, present & future.

While number of clusters increases in France, many of them in slaughterhouses, the media continue to obscure the link between flesh consumption and pandemics, governments are NOT taking the necessary actions to protect the population, but are releasing billions from public funds to save the economy.

We have the duty to force them to make that connection and act accordingly. Because beyond the human victims of Covid19, there are trillions victims of speciesism every single year.
This thirst for blood is a total nonsense.

Several other farms will be targeted in the following days.
We urge animal rights activists all around the world to do the same.
We do NOT win a war with flowers as weapon.

*Translation:
– ANIMAL AG = BIRTHPLACE OF PANDEMICS
– SPECIESISM: DEADLY VIRUS
– FOR A NEW WORLD, ABOLITION NOW
– LIBERATE THE CONFINED ONES
– ANIMAL AG FUNDS PANDEMICS
– ANIMAL AG DOESN’T FEED, IT KILLS”

French:
“Plusieurs camps d’engraissement, ici de poulets dans la Marne, ont été tagués avec des messages faisant le lien entre l’esclavage animal et les épidémies de virus d’origine zoonotique, passées, présentes ou futures.

Alors que les clusters se multiplient en France, principalement dans des abattoirs, que les médias continuent à occulter le lien entre zoophagie et pandémie, les États ne prennent PAS les mesures nécessaires pour protéger la population, mais débloquent des milliards d’euros d’argent public pour sauver leur économie.
Nous avons le devoir de les forcer à faire ce lien et à agir en conséquence. Parce qu’au-delà des victimes humaines du Covid19, les victimes du spécisme se comptent par milliers de milliards chaque année.
Cette soif de sang est un non-sens total.

Plusieurs autres fermes seront nos cibles dans les jours qui suivent.
Nous exhortons les animalistes du monde entier à faire de même.
On ne remporte pas une guerre avec des fleurs comme seules armes.”
