ACCOMPLICES, NOT ALLIES – UNOFFENSIVE ANIMAL.

https://youtu.be/U3PIWnz_xkw

 

We are approaching the time of no return. In a world that fuels itself on exploitation, you have a choice to make.

Are you an ally, or are you an accomplice?

 

PS: This project was a collective work by some anarchists who would like to bring to you more video propaganda. Is that something you would like to see Unoffensive putting some effort into?

ACCESSIBILITY: We’ve pasted the whole speech underneath for easier translation.

“With climate crisis approaching the point of no return, with political sphere showing day by day the true fascist system in place and with more animals bred and killed for consumption than ever before, it is time to take action.

We have signed your petitions and joined the marches. We have shouted loud, filled forms and held banners. We have shown solidarity for the oppressed and felt outraged by a system based on greed. We don’t feel we’ve done enough.

Our banners have served as a photo opportunity to then be forgotten. Our screams were heard and put aside. Our forms and petitions were ignored. It is time to take action.

This is not just a letter of intent, but an urgent call to step forward. In front of racism, sexism and transphobia we don’t need allies. In front of the destruction of the planet and the mass murder of animals, we don’t need allies. We don’t need people who understand and feel for the victims. We need accomplices. We need folks who are willing to step up to the front line and fight alongside the oppressed. We need people willing to sacrifice their voice in order to bring the oppressed forward. We need folks willing to start a war, however, that might be. It is time to take action.

In a world fuelled by capitalism, the rise of plant based products might make us think we are winning. Green capitalism is thought that way in an attempt to wash out the destruction that greed carries upon animals, upon the planet, upon the workers that uphold it.

Let’s remember that handcuffs are built in the factories and that we, the people, can stop the production. Let’s remember that for an inclusive world where we are closer to end exploitation that we need to get rid of the capitalist system that fuels the oppression. It is no longer enough to make a consumers choice of avoiding meat or boycotting Israeli products. We need to to take action.

So let this be the day you stand up and become the accomplice the world needs. Let this be the day you start plotting the revolution. Let this be the day you stop sitting idle, thinking of ways to change the world and start taking steps towards that actual change.

Let this be the day you take action.

The time of waving placards is over.”

DIRECT ACTION GETS THE GOODS – CEO OF SVENSK MINK QUITS JOB AFTER BEING TARGETED BY THE ALF.

Johan Dalén, CEO of fur propaganda company ‘Svensk Mink’ has stepped down from his position after being targeted with sabotage and threats by the ALF.

As well as a stream of colourfully worded letters and phone calls made to Johan, his home and card have also been repeatedly targeted. He has now decided to resign from his post after 7 years.

Johan has played a huge role in portraying activists in Sweden as terrorists, as well as spreading effective propaganda promoting fur farming as an environmentally friendly and ethical practice.

In an anonymous statement published by the ALF they have said:

“Johan Dalén has managed to hold the crumbling fur industry together. Now that he is gone and out of the way the fur industry in Sweden is vulnerable. The ALF are ready to strike.

Bye bye, Johan Dalén! You will not be missed”

In other news, on the 11th of December 4 activists from the group Djurfront faced charges in court. They have been accused of trespassing and disturbing the peace during a protest at the mink farm in Falkenberg, which has seen an increased amount of resistance from activists over the past year. The verdict will be reached on the 27th of December and if found guilty, those accused will receive a fine. We will of course post updates when more information is available, but for now we send solidarity to those facing charges within the group.

HAMBACHER FOREST UPDATE – 4000 COPS, 12000 YEARS.

With the eviction well underway in the 12,000 year old forest of Hambach, the actions of those protecting capitalism increase in violence whilst the action of those protecting the earth increase in numbers.

Oaktown has been for the last three days the main focus of the eviction. After cutting many people out of their lock ons, they attacked Simona (pictured below). Simona is a ground structure that kept a little secret inside, a reinforced tunnel that kept the cops occupied for quite a long time. Police had no problem driving over the tunnel, endangering the multiple activists locked underground, and resulted to lift the whole house out of the way to access the entrance of the tunnel. Right now, Oaktown still resists, with one activist comfortably sleeping in a hammock in the highest point of a tree.

Yesterday the forest walk brought thousands of people to the small town of Buir. Packing train after train with angry people from many different cities, the police tried to control them on the line of the forest and announced that the forest walk was cancelled for the day. As if the police was able to cancel the walk! With great rage and spirits, hundreds of people broke the police line chanting “We want a forest walk!” and accessed the woods of Hambach. Once in the forest, the police was visibly outnumbered, having to face hundreds of people that made machines get out of the woods and even surrounded one of the police tanks, that had to hastily run out whilst police forces used violence against crowds chanting “We are peaceful, what are you?”. Today, the police has focused on Gallien and on the Westside Warriors (Beechtown and Cozytown). Latest news from Gallien report screams of pain coming out of Bolo.

Meanwhile, around Germany but also in many other countries, support actions have been sending solidarity to all the seedlings in the forest. From banner drops to planting trees inside of embassies and RWE offices, people have been getting creative. The latest report from the legal team shows 100+ arrests during the evictions, with 18 people still in custody.

HAMBACHER FORST – THE EVICTION HAS STARTED. 

Yesterday it was announced that the eviction in Hambacher Forst had to start today for the safety of the activists as the occupation is a fire hazard. It is of no surprise that RWE workers took all fire extinguishers they could find last week.

This morning, police is everywhere. Gallien is surrounded by cops, Oaktown doesn’t seem to have any police presence and monopods and tripods are starting to be vacated.

Heavy machinery on the other hand is stuck at the entrance of the forest. It is raining, and thanks to the past attacks by the police there is more mud than green on the ground.

The spirits are high and the people are willing to put up a fight. Over 100 people have appeared to the first line of the forest as a spontaneous solidarity demo. There are demos and actions popping up all over Germany.

We are aware that most of our readers are U.K. based. Also, many of you only know about Hambacher Forst because of us. We are not going to write a massive dissertation about the animals and plants an a different social system between the forest. You can do the learning yourself. But we are going to ask for something. We are asking you to take action. We are asking you to not simply “share and be sad” about this story. We want you to do something against it.

Here is a list of all of the buildings RWE has in the U.K. From energy rations to offices, there are many different levels of action that can be taken to fight back. It is your time to take action.

FOR THE FUCKING WILD.

FIVE DUCKS LIBERATED.

1st September, UK

anonymous report:

“Five water-deprived ducks liberated from their prison by members of the ALF cell FAM964. Now free in their forever home, these birds narrowly missed their slaughter date. Our thoughts go to all those left behind and all other animals oppressed by the human species. The fight continues, and will never stop, until total animal liberation.”
