“On the early morning of March 14th, we torched eight pieces of heavy construction machinery belonging to the Brent Scarbrough company (the contractor that is presently clearcutting the Weelaunee forest) at a site on Jonesboro Road in Henry County, Georgia. We hope everyone on their morning commute enjoyed the show. Despite the blaze being visible from a major road, what appears to be one of the most quantitatively effective attacks on the company’s equipment so far remains unreported in the media at the time of submission. This follows a previously observed pattern in which the news focuses only on reporting attacks that occur inside the perimeter. However, it appears that some of Brent Scarbrough’s largest sites, with the greatest amount of equipment, can be found by venturing further outside the city. It’s easy to find clues that construction sites are nearby, like Flock cameras, orange cones, and “road work” signs. When passing by a site, look for the arms of excavators bearing large and recognizable “Brent.us” logos. We’re getting closer every day. Let’s bankrupt them!”

“Here we are again, another so-called free range egg farm entered by the A.L.F, taking with us 73 pullets. These little babies will no longer serve humans for profit. Instead, they will find the gentle side to human hands, surrounded by compassion and love.

Until every cage is empty, keep liberating.

The A.L.F acknowledges the First Nations people of the land this action took place, the damage colonisation does to the land, and the continued fight for liberation of First Nations people. We stand with Palestine in their fight against the Zionist state of Israel. From the river to the sea.

None are free until all are free.”

According to local media, unknown people cut a hole in the fence holding deer in a game farm. Twenty deer broke free, most of them fallow deer but also some roe deer. The farmer, who raises the deer to shoot them, says that the damages amounted to 400 EUR. The police confirmed they had no suspects.

“Last month, a small team temporarily released a mounted patrol horse from the Atlanta Police Foundation/Atlanta Police Department stable. It was quick and easy to complete using simple ingredients: carrots, apples, food, and wire fence cutters. During this action and subsequent coverage, we learned that APD falsely claimed 24-hour surveillance and patrols around its facilities. Furthermore, APD insists on linking every anti-police action to their ill-conceived cop city project, instead of recognizing that some of us just want to see them shamed because they are an army of occupying clowns. We encourage readers in Atlanta and elsewhere to identify where police resources are concentrated in their own communities and to combat them in similar experimental ways after observation of surveillance flaws. Also, we recommend that you look into the history of Atlanta Mounted Patrol and other animals used as police weapons.”

[On the night of 25-26 March, a building went up in flames in the east of Halle-sur-Saale, a town about twenty kilometres from Leipzig in the region of Saxony-Anhalt. Only this grey suburban building was no ordinary building: it housed a martial arts gym called “Gladiator Fight Academy”, which the local neo-Nazis were about to open next April. All the equipment in the hall went up in flames, with damage estimated by the police at 250,000 euros. Below is the translation from the Indymedia report].

“In Halle, attempts are repeatedly being made to establish or strengthen a right-wing extremist scene. This is also the case with the planned opening of the “Gladiator Fight Academy” martial arts centre.

But Halle is once again showing its best side and leaving no room for the structural training of militant fascists.

On Tuesday morning (26.03.24), the warehouse where the fascists wanted to make themselves comfortable went up in flames. Initial estimates put the damage at a quarter of a million euros.

Thank you Halle.”

“In the dead of the night, the A.L.F entered a so-called free range egg farm and liberated 28 lives. These beautiful girls will now spend the rest of their lives in loving homes, no longer commodified to feed the machine.

Until every cage, big and small is empty.

We would like to acknowledge that these hens were liberated from a business operating on stolen land. We acknowledge the First Nations people of so-called Australia and acknowledge the impact colonisation has had and continues to have on land and water. We stand and take action in solidarity with First Nations people in their fight for liberation. We stand and take action in solidarity with Palestine, Sudan, the Congo and all other places facing oppression and genocide. Solidarity always.”

“With the moon as our accomplice and determined to take part in a prison break we approached a barn and pulled our tools out. After cutting through the mesh, forcing a window open and climbing through a hole in the wall, tens of thousands of ducklings greeted us with high pitched sounds.

They must’ve been three, maybe four days old. Many, perhaps the lucky ones, were already dead on the floor. 

We gently caught forty birds and put them in carriers, ready for a better life, destined to breaking free. We wrote a message on the wall so that the scum that profits from the torture and murder of ducks is aware that some people are willing to fight back. “One more”, someone said, so forty-one came with us and we walked away having made dozens of new friends. 



As we came out, we thought of Jack and Ita, both having been released from prison not so long ago, and we thought of Ru, Tortu and Panda, who are still locked up in a hellhole in Chile. 



Until we see each other again, we will keep fighting in your name.

Become an accomplice to their prison breaks, become an accessory to the destruction of their oppressors, become a tool for their revenge.

Fight back against the machine that devours us all with the greed of capitalism.

For a future of freedom and solidarity, a present of fire.

Some anarchists.
