HELP FOLKS PAY FOR AN EXORBITANT FINE AFTER A CRIMINAL DAMAGE SENTENCE

We’ve received a fundraiser for a 10,000 GBP fine split between three people after a criminal damage action in Scotland.

This is Rigged demands the Scottish government to vocally oppose any new fossil fuel projects in the country. In March 2023 two people visited the Wallace monument in Srtirling and smashed the glass containing William Wallace’s sword. They were inspired by a previous action by Suffragette Ethel Moorhead, who 111 years ago used a rock that read “YOUR LIBERTIES WERE WON BY THE SWORD, RELEASE THE WOMEN WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIBERTIES, STOP THE FORCIBLE FEEDING, A PROTEST FROM DUBLIN” to smash the glass around the sword.

This is Rigged also used a rock to smash the glass case, which read: “YOUR LIBERTIES WERE WON BY THE SWORD, YOUR RIGHTS WERE WON BY THE SUFFRAGETTES. NO NEW OIL AND GAS. FAIR TRANSITION NOW”

This month, the two activists and a third person who did nothing else but film the action were ordered to pay a combined fine of £10,000. They are trying to raise those funds so that the burden of facing the force of the government is not simply put on them.

If you are able to, please consider donating, even if it is just a few coins. The amount of money is huge, but the fundraiser is gaining momentum and it can be achieved! If you’re unable to support economically, please share this post, or their posts in social media, so more people are able to help! Fundraiser link:

UNKNOWN PEOPLE SET A HUNTING TOWER ALIGHT.

5th June, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

According to local media, during the morning of the 5th of July, a hunting tower was set on fire by unknown activists. Forest walkers raised the alarm, and the fire brigade ensured that the fire could not jump into any dry areas around it. They were completely unable to save the hunting tower.

As it has become a standard, local German police begs for any clues as to who could be involved in the arson.

FERAL GNOMES SABOTAGE THE CONSTRUCTION OF A VIVISECTION CAMPUS.

1st June, Philadelphia USA.

via: Philly Anti-Capitalist.

“On June 1, under the moonlight, some feral gnomes poured grit into the lubrication system of an earth destroying machine – paralyzing it before it kills more of the post-industrial wild habitat in Bartram’s. The goal of this earth destroyer, and the developers in power of it, is to raze the land, killing and displacing all of the wild and free life from the area in order to make way for a Biotec Campus who markets a sanitized version of life. That life includes the torture of nonhumans and displacement of humans and nonhumans alike for it’s concrete pathways and steel buildings.

We will oppose every destroyer, every tool of power and development that seeks to capture, kill, torture, and displace all our lives. The feral land, trees, nonhuman and human animals will not be bulldozed with ease.”

TOILET NIGHTMARES.

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. We would never dream of anyone using any of this tools as a form of dissent and we do not promote, partake in or condone any illegal activities that might derive from said tools.

Toilets are essential infrastructure that we don’t often think about. When they are busted it can be incredibly disruptive and costly.

Imagine you want to trash your own toilet, I imagine many of you have blocked your toilet before. Well what if you wanted to block your toilet again but in a way that was not fixable?

Hydraulic cement is a type of cement that sets quickly once in contact with water. People have permanently destroyed toilets with hydraulic cement using a simple method. They take nylon socks or tights and using a funnel fill them with about a fistful of hydraulic cement, something available at most hardware stores. They then tie a knot and store one or more in a plastic bag as the powder will leak through the nylon. They walk into their own toilet, not animal abusing giant McDonald’s or union busting Starbucks, their own toilet. Given CCTV is so prevalent in your own home and folks don’t want family to know they’ve ruined the loo people have been known to ditch their standard attire instead dressing in ‘normal’ looking clothes they got from the charity shop and will dispose of after. There’s a tendency to wear hats or a wig and covid mask to stay as unidentifiable as possible.

Once in the cubicle they get the makeshift cement powder ball wet and either push it into the pipe in the toilet bowl using the toilet brush or their hand wearing a washing up glove, or no glove if you are a particularly disturbed individual. Once they’ve ensured its properly wedged into the pipe they leave the stall without flushing.

You’re gonna end up with a huge bill now and might even need to move temporarily given the lack of usable toilets.

The toilet might be the pressure point you never thought of. We strongly advise that you only mess with your toilet and never anyone else’s.

CASO SUSARON PRISONERS RELEASE A COMMUNIQUE AFTER SEVEN MONTHS IN JAIL

Below is the collective communique published by the folks jailed after the arson at a meat packaging plant in Chile. Remember that you can support them by sending letters to: [email protected] and that you can donate to their fund on paypal.me/solidaridad4

More info here:

Prisoner Support

“On November 3, 2022, we are detained by the BIPE in different territories, our houses are raided, accusing us of arson in an inhabited place, with danger to people. Due to the fire that affected the Susaron branch on September 19, 2022, resulting in the burning of its sales room, refrigerators and trucks, causing millions of dollars in damages.

On November 4, we went to detention control, where we were charged with the crime of arson and possession of ammunition, the butcher shop and the Public Prosecutor’s Office filed a complaint.

We were remanded in custody for 70 days while the investigation lasted.

Time that has been extended by the prosecutor until today, almost 7 months, due to the seriousness of the crime and the penalty that this deserves according to the penal code, which is around 15 to 20 years.

In these long months, we have gone through various emotions and feelings. Confronting the reality of every prisoner, facing the blow that prison generates in your habits and close circle. Keeping indeclinably the conviction and courage that led us to these cages. Living in our own flesh what millions of animals around the world live. A forced and arbitrary captivity. Violence and aggression. Based on the decision of a judge. In their case; the judge is the accepted human logic that sees them as things or inferior.

We do not regret our ideas and the steps that lead us to our becoming.
There is no wall, gendarme or bar, that makes us stop sustaining that animal liberation is a fundamental pillar of any anarchic or libertarian conception. And that in that glow, the active hands of those who embrace the idea against authority are primordial.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. We are still at war!
For the fall of this and any society! Social-anti-social war!
Animal liberation! Total liberation! Under any consequence and affected.

ANONYMOUS ACTIVISTS SET SAGA FURS ON FIRE.

1st June, Vantaa Finland.

received anonymously via email:

“Our lives and environments are under a constant attack, because of this we have no other way than to defend ourselves by attacking against the forces that destroy us.

On Thursday 1.6. before dawn we cut a hole in the fence of Saga Furs in Vantaa, Finland and made an incendiary attack against their premises.

Saga Furs has no justification for existing. As a company they make profits for their rich owners and cause monstrous suffering to animals produced for the fur industry. This will not end by asking or hoping.

Until Saga Furs is fertilizer for our gardens.”

editor’s note: Saga Furs is a huge fur auction company. Image unrelated to the action.

SABOTAGING HUNTS: MAY ROUND UP

Mink and Otter hunting season has begun so hunt saboteurs across the country are keeping an eye on the activity at kennels. Only 26 registered packs exist in the UK and Ireland, making them vulnerable to the multiple sabotage groups that operate. These packs operate using a small number of hounds and are usually transported in commercial and domestic vehicles, thus making them more difficult to locate oppose to a mounted hunt who are more obvious in appearance and use larger vehicles such as horse boxes and trailers. Efforts to continue hunting under the radar however inevitably get ruined upon the arrival of multiple sabotage groups forcing them to pack up. This was seen recently when Three Counties Hunt Sabs, Severn Vale Hunt Sabs, Cirencester Illegal Hunt Watch and Herefordshire Hunt Sabs who recently stopped Three Counties Minkhounds from hunting. Members of the public can play an important role in sabotaging a hunt by notifying suspicious behaviour. This can be done by contacting the Hunt Saboteurs Association tip-off line at 07443148426. Making a call or sending a message can be enough to stop wildlife from being killed.

Whilst on the lookout for ‘any wildlife murders’, Jorvik and West Yorkshire hunt sabotage groups came across a lone shooter setting up a shooting hide and forced them to pack up and leave. Multiple sabotage groups elsewhere, including West Yorkshire, Hertfordshire and Staffordshire, were also successful throughout the month after finding and ‘decommissioning’ various spring traps and larsens. Underground Badger Syndicate, who also discovered an array of ‘animal persecuting contraptions’, concluded that there is more to be done; ‘It’s not the end though…[we] will be back’. The more you look, the more you find.

Demonstrations and outreach continued throughout the month, including against the West Norfolk Foxhounds and the North Cotswold Hunt. These are important as hunting relies heavily on securing revenue through fundraising events, which double up as recruiting drives for mounted riders and other followers who pay to spectate. Eliminate these lines of support and a hunt soon starts to crumble.

One protest that had a large presence of saboteurs in attendance was outside Dorchester Police station, following increasing violence and illegal hunting from hunts in Dorset. This reaffirms that even though legislation against hunting (with packs of hounds) exists, the police and crime prosecution service do not care about wildlife. As a matter of fact, the UK government took a last-minute U-turn on the Animal Welfare (Kept Animals) Bill, which would have added extra complications for hunting and detrimental to other animal industries. True wildlife defence has, and always will, come from action on the ground, implemented through a range of tactics from a myriad of people from different communities. Not the state.

FOUR INSECT GLUE TRAPS DESTROYED.

4th June, unknown location

received anonymously via email:

“The Sunshine hellhole

Every year on National Animal Rights Day, many great people go out to march and advocate for animals; an important part of our cause for animal liberation. However, once the banners are put up and the sun sets away, the cruelty continues.

Next time you are out at your local park or just cruising basically anywhere, gaze up at the trees. For a start, you can admire their gracious heights and the beautiful creatures that live amongst them. However, certain trees will have an insect trap imposed upon its branches. These glue traps kill any creature who is unfortunately baited onto its unforgiving mat. The fortunate part is that they are pretty easy to find; they are basic-looking triangular prisms that are tan and stand out against green foliage. An easy target that anyone can do. Even if it is just one, its life-saving.

So far four traps are down and more shall follow their same fate. Fuck the government and its cruelty to the most vulnerable. This act is dedicated to anyone who has helped animal abusers and earth rapists suffer consequences from their actions. “

SO YOU’RE TAKING A PHONE TO A PROTEST: PART 1

When going to a protest or an aboveground action there are risk factors to analyse before taking a phone. Sure, someone is doing social media and needs to take some photos and sometimes we might feel vulnerable without a pocket device that can call friends if something happens and you are left stranded in the middle of a field. The issue is, telephones are little spying devices, they are able to spy on you live if they have been previously infected, and even if they haven’t, they hold so much information about you and your activity and behaviour that if they are to be arrested, they can really unearth extreme amounts of information about you and your friends.

Over the next few episodes, we will discuss different ways we can protect ourselves from harming our safety or our comrades’ safety when handling technology at demos and protests, but remember that threat modelling is crucial and you should be able to analyse what your current threat model is, and what the threat model of the action is, making decisions about your best course of action relating to your phone!

To start with, even tho we have talked about this multiple times in the past, we will give two pieces of advice that apply not only to when you are going to a demo, but at all times:

1- NEVER USE BIOMETRICS.

FaceID and FingerprintID are incredibly convenient. You don’t need to introduce a very long password to access your phone, and on a day-to-day basis, it is difficult for other people to try and replicate your face or your finger! The issue is there are huge vulnerabilities with using biometrics. In case studies, folks have managed to 3d print fingerprints out of data or replicate a FaceID verification with a flat photo. But do you know who has your fingerprint data as soon as you are arrested? The police.

This is not just about some sophisticated method to print and implement your fingerprints either. Whilst passwords are memorable things and you could potentially forget your decryption password if you were to be forced by the police to decrypt your device, you are simply not able to forget your fingerprints or face. The police have been seen forcing people’s fingers into screens to unlock devices or holding the head of activists in front of the smartphone’s camera to trigger the faceID. YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER, USE BIOMETRICS!

2- STRONG PASSWORDS ARE A MUST.

We have talked about this in the past, but your smartphone’s lock screen password is most likely your smartphone’s decryption key. You should have a long, alphanumeric password that you are able to remember but that would be very hard to guess. You can read more about how to create a smartphone password by reading “CREATING A SAFE PASSPHRASE FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE” on our website.

CREATING A SAFE PASSPHRASE FOR YOUR SMARTPHONE

In future issues of “So you’re taking a phone to a protest” we will talk about burner phones, IMEI numbers, messaging and managing social media from a protest, not taking phones to a protest and more. Tune in for the next one and please drop a comment if you have any questions!
