2nd July, Atlanta USA.

“On a recent night, 2 groups of friends were feeling a little bored and decided to go on a fun little excursion. One group visited to home of LS3P senior architect Anthony Kenny at 235 Lake Drive in Norcross GA. Another group visited the home of Ambrish Baisiwala, who is on the APF board of trustees and works for Portman Holdings, at 683 Cumberland road NE in Atlanta. Messages were left in paint, tires were slashed. It was a joyful occassion all around. Thank you to the kind people who provided the names and addresses that facilitated this night of fun, particularly the free & rowdy Party. There are many more names and addresses of people making cop city happen that could be the locations of future fun nights for you and your friends if your looking for something to do!

ENGLISH (translation)

“As individuals and as an affinity group we decided to destroy and permanently lock padlocks and other keyholes guarding establishments that sell animal products, an industry that profits with the death and exploitation of non human animals. We also decided to glue locks in churches.

The sabotage occurred around central Santiago.

Because we are against all authority.
Let’s keep showing antispeciesist solidarity until all cages are broken!”

SPANISH:

“Individualidades afines decidimos inutilizar y sellar cerraduras y candados en centros de comercialización de productos de origen animal, industria que lucra con la muerte y explotación animal de animales no humanos.
Además, decidimos sellar y molestar a las iglesias.
Los lugares saboteados fueron por zona poniente, centro norte y centro sur de santiago centro.
Porque estamos en contra de toda autoridadA seguir con la solidaridad antiespecista, hasta la destrucción de todas las jaulas!”

“We are at a juncture where, in the space of just a few months, we have counted two mass state capitalist murders, in Tempe and Pylos, which demonstrate in the most deafening way the very essence of capitalism. We are under no illusions and we know very well that in the face of the deadlock and bankruptcy of the state-capitalist system, the only answer that the state and capital have to propose is, on the one hand, to create new hotbeds of imperialist conflict and intervention in the capitalist regions, thus creating new hundreds of dead, both on the battlefields and in the debris left behind by war and the overexploitation of resources, and on the heavily guarded border lines, which have resulted in the Mediterranean becoming a vast graveyard of refugees.

On the other hand, in the capitalist centres of the West, capital and the state are looking for new areas of profitability through further class devaluation, impoverishment and death politics, which in turn create modern metropolitan guarded sweatshops in which we are forced to survive in conditions of misery with meagre wages as a result of the overvaluation of our labour power, with one worker murder after another, with the coverage of our basic material needs becoming more and more difficult, and the deterioration of the structures that cover basic social needs of transportation, health, education, etc. and with a state that is further entrenching itself by militarising its metropolises and increasing military budgets.

So at the same time as the state is generously spreading death, oppression, exploitation and destruction, it is inviting us to participate in the carnival of elections to choose which party will “save” us and which party will provide the best opposition. It invites us to entrust the management of our lives to saviours great and small, and once we have chosen we can proudly return to normality, where people are murdered at the borders, in police stations, on the streets, in the workers’ sweatshops. We can return to the normalcy of “passports” and starvation wages, of snitch journalists and exhausted and unpaid overtime, of evictions and home foreclosures. The normalcy we legitimize by voting consent and submission. In the face of their normalcy there is disobedience, resistance and rebellion. Against the vote of delegation there is collectivity, self-organization, faith in our strengths and in the potential of all the oppressed and exploited. The belief that this world will be changed by us, through collective struggles we will stand on our feet and attack the state, capital and their praetorian guard.

And it is precisely all the above ideals that we believe find fertile ground and are grounded in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, which has historically been the bastion and the cutting edge of class and social resistances and movements. And it is precisely for this reason that the state and capital, at a time when they are trying to impose a doctrine of zero tolerance and bend the whole of the resistances and struggles, have launched an all-out attack on the neighbourhood of Exarcheia.

More specifically, the state has turned the neighbourhood into a war zone, with an all-armed occupying army swooping in in an attempt to show force, intimidation and repression. At the same time, capital sees in Exarcheia an investment opportunity that will open up new fields of profitability. Therefore, a swarm of real estate, construction, tourism companies of all kinds, bosses of alternative entertainment outlets, up to minefields under the pretext of gentrification, redevelopment and all kinds of alternative consumerism have invaded the area.

All of the above processes are aimed at political sterilization, class restructuring and the uprooting of the neighborhood’s militancy and its very history, turning it into an entrenched, depoliticized island of alternative tourism and entertainment.

For all these reasons, we believe that the struggle against the attack of the state and capitalists on the Exarcheia neighborhood is a struggle that concerns us all. Exarcheia is a neighbourhood with a rich history of struggles, which we must defend and continue.

So on Thursday 15/6, we carried out a Molotov cocktail attack, ambushing a change of guard at Strefi. This particular procession consisted of a van accompanied by a Delta unit, which not only did not perform its role, but in our view had no problem leaving its colleagues to fend for themselves in their lamp-lit vehicle, firing flash-bang grenades from a really long distance. It is important to mention the warm support we received from the people who happened to be in the tarmac during the attack.

The event was completely “buried” by both the police and their loyal allies, journalists. Obviously this silencing is not surprising, as the propaganda mechanisms of the state and the repression could never publicly admit such a deafening defeat in the most militarized neighborhood of Athens, in the heart of their operational center, which is now the hill of Strefi. What they don’t understand is that our stratagem is not negotiable, nor does it take a holiday. We meet, we cooperate, we organize and we spread, with camaraderie, consistency and sincerity in mind and with the aim of a revolutionary perspective, the abolition of the exploitation of man by man and the plundering of nature.

We believe that when the level of violence and impoverishment is constantly being raised by our enemies, we in turn must organise our own targeted responses to violence in a coherent, persistent and committed manner. Which, in the first instance, put up a barrier to the attack of the state and capital, putting in practical question the monopoly of violence they want to impose. While they are also an organic and integral part of the broader diverse mosaic of our own unconstrained social and class struggles, which can ultimately be the only response to the capitalist storm.

Freedom to all political prisoners of the social and class war!

“Silence only benefits the oppressor!!

Since Maxmara continues to ignore activists demanding a fur-free policy, I sent them a message that’s impossible to miss. A little bit of wheat paste (flour+water) and fake blood (sirap+food coloring) goes a long way. Dried wheat paste is literally impossible to remove and anyone can make it.

Max Mara and LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy) are the last few corporations that continues to sell fur. Join the fight and let’s abolish the furtrade once and for all!!!

“Dear Brent Scarborough,

I Bet You Thought You Were Safe With All The New Security Measures You Put In At Your Headquarters Site! We Saw The Empty Lot Where You Used To Store Machines… And The Big One Right Next Door.

We Saw The Bright Lights, Tall Fence, And Trees Clear Cut Twenty Feet From Every Edge Of The Lot. It Was A Quick Walk From The On Ramp Of Exit 41. A Row Of Trucks Obscured Our Car So We Only Had To Carry Our Supplies About Half A Mile.

You Ought To Pay Your Security Guard More… He Was Asleep On The Job! We Climbed Over The Barbed Wire Fence With A Ladder And A Carpet Square & Taking Note Of The Machines Fifty Feet From The Fence And Cameras On Every Pole. Sneaking Between Equipment And Around The Useless Security Truck, We Finally Reached A Row Of Many Large Machines. Each Of Us Carried A Gallon Of Muriatic Acid, A Substance You Should Know About If You Don’t Already. We Poured The Corrosive Acid Into The Oil Tanks Of Three Machines. Have You Found Which Ones Yet? If Not, You Will Soon.

Dear Reader,

Are You Interested In Similar Activities? We Made A Handy Little Graphic To Help.

Muriatic Acid (aka Hydrochloric Acid, HCl)Highly corrosive, eats away metal. Also used for home cleaning and pool maintenance (significantly diluted). Obtain from pool supply stores, ~$10/gallon.
Pour onto cars, equipment, machines, etc. to cause permanent damage. Add to oil or gas tank, or pour over engine block.

“Since the new far-right government of finland believes hunting to be ”a valuable part of finnish life” and plans to strengthen and expand hunting rights, we decided to take direct action. We used the bright night of Summer Solstice to destroy several hunting towers and other equipment in southern finland.

There is nothing valuable about a hobby of murdering animals. We wish all hunters plenty of accidents.

Solidarity to all political prisoners!”

“Koska suomen uusi äärioikeistohallitus uskoo metsästyksen olevan ”arvokas osa suomalaista elämänmuotoa” ja suunnittelee metsästysoikeuksien vahvistamista sekä laajentamista, päätimme käyttää suoraa toimintaa. Juhannuksen kirkkaana yönä tuhosimme useita metsästystorneja ja muuta metsästysvälineistöä etelä-suomessa.

Eläinten murhaamisessa typerän harrastuksen nimissä ei ole mitään arvokasta. Toivotamme kaikille metsästäjille paljon onnettomuuksia.

Solidaarisuutta kaikille poliittisille vangeille!”
