“To Reeves Young:

You will have noticed by now that several of your machines have ceased to function, their arteries corroded from within. Last week, we sabotaged six Earth-raping machines——including two large excavators and a bulldozer——at a Reeves Young construction site in Flowery Branch, Georgia. So long as you continue to contract with the Atlanta Police Foundation for the destruction of the South Atlanta Forest, and the construction of a Cop City in its place, know that your equipment is not safe. Your offices are not safe. Your homes are not safe.

Unless your company chooses to pull out of the APF’s Cop City project of its own volition, we will undermine your profits so severely that you’ll have no choice but to drop the contract. A recent article in the AJC estimated that forest defenders already “have done hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to utility equipment.” Our conservative estimate places you now hundreds of thousands deeper in the red. Though we fight in defense of the forest, against Cop City, our struggle is not contained there. Wherever you are, we will find you. All fields are battlefields. All machines are targets.

To our friends:

Solidarity means attack. If you hate the cops and love the forest; if you feel as we do that they have already taken too much from us——venture into the night and fight back. Sabotage and vandalize. Don’t get caught. By bleach, sand or fire, you can destroy the Earth destroyers. (Read Chapter 5 of “Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching” for details——practice good security if searching online.) We will not sit idly by as they desolate one of our last wild spaces, all to sharpen their tools of mass domestication. The logic of death ends with us. We choose life.

We do not need more training centers for the police to practice killing us. We do not need more Amazon warehouses for two-hour delivery of fleshlights and Quest bars. What we need is what we already have, what Reeves Young aims to ruin: spaces free from Empire; soil, roots and water, mutually healing; trees bending in the wind; a friend’s eyes shining in the light of the fire.

We will not rest, so neither will our enemies. In solidarity with all those locked in cages; in solidarity with all those combating Russian and Amerikkkan imperialism——let us strike without fear at everything which confines and assails us. May the flame that burns inside us burn everything around us.

With burning heart,
Anonymous Drivers of the Nomadic War Machine”

“This is a delayed report. On the night of Saturday the 5th of March we snuck out and popped all the tyres on Pak’s butchers van…again. We also took a trip to the BS4 postcode and popped all the tyres and paint stripped a van belonging to a dairy company.

For the animals

“Having seen that people have kickstarted a campaign to shut down the vile fur farms owned by T&S we decided to pay a quick visit to a farm we had visited in the past, near Granby. We thought this would be a quick routine check because the actual farm had shut over a year ago due to them getting permission to build a huge house on the land, like they always do with their rabbit farms. Our mission was simple; gain information about the status of the house and learn about the contractors that are doing the work. What we found was far from what we expected.

Most of the farm was empty, but two runs were very loud and active! When we approached we saw eleven rabbits that had been left to starve. With obvious illnesses and incredibly skinny, those eleven rabbits weren’t destined to slaughter. They had been abandoned, probably picked up from other farms when displaying illness, and left to die at Granby Hill.

The disregard and abuse was such that it took us some time to react. You could see their bones through the skin, ears covered in wounds and mites, their fur stained yellow and covered in their own piss, no fresh hay, or any grass to eat, and their water containers had stopped working. We needed to do something.

We convinced them to come out by sprinkling some feed on the ground. Their fear towards humans was obvious, but their hunger was stronger and they devoured the food immediately. We sourced a couple of animal carriers and after catching the eleven rabbits, we took them to safety.

They have a lengthy road of recovery ahead of them. Some might not make it. What is clear is that they now have a chance to survive, and that they will be loved and cared for unconditionally without being destined for slaughter to sell their fur to some rich scumbag.

Phil Kerry needs to realise that it is time to change his ways. Our discovery in Granby has put us on high alert, and there is no compromise. He must give up his rabbit farming business once and for all.

We are watching. Choose wisely.

Rabbit Liberation Unit.

PS: We want to dedicate this liberation action to the memory of Anna Campbell, who was killed four years ago today fighting fascism in Rojava. We remember you. The fight goes on. Şehîd Namirin.”

“CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION OF LONG ENGINEERING VEHICLES, ATLANTA GEORGIA:

On Mar. 1st, 2022, FIVE large Long Engineering trucks used to do survey work to help delineate destruction in the South Atlanta Forest were destroyed in solidarity with eco defenders currently protecting the forest from being clear-cut to build cop city and more Hollywood infrastructure for Black Hall Studios.

There will be NO peace for any subcontractors involved with the planning or destruction of the south Atlanta Forest until ALL contracts with the Atlanta Police Foundation & Black Hall Studios have been withdrawn, & the Forest is safe from any and ALL destruction. We do NOT differentiate “pre-construction ” & “construction “…

It is EASY to approach vehicles and machinery sitting like ducks in subcontractor parking lots and simply pour gallons of bleach into their gas tanks and render any and all of their equipment used to subjugate the land completely dead and inoperable!

This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for more eco-warriors to replicate these actions in the name of Defending the Forest and ALL creatures wild and Free!

Save the South Atlanta Forest! Destroy all of the machines! Tear up all of the roads! There is no “perfect moment” to act on the horizon, the time is ripe!

Fuck your ego and use the cover of darkness to go out and get shit done, for we need more faceless saboteurs to help bankrupt all of these companies from being able to function.

It only costs $1.00 for a gallon of bleach and it costs them $50,000.00 (or more!) Per vehicle…

DEFEND THE FOREST! FIGHT THE COPS! OUR WOODS NOT HOLLYWOODS!

May there be peace in the forest for a while – more towers will fall!”

“In the Kieswasche Buir branch of the Rheinische Baustoffwerke, 6 or 7 construction machines (backhoe loaders and others) had their windows smashed, cables and pipes cut and some messages against concrete and its devastating role in the growth of civilisation and for anarchy were left.

Indeed, their gravel and sand is used to make concrete and other building materials, but the company also offers its services to others to get rid of their mineral waste. The link with the RWE coal mine next to the forest is more than likely. In addition, this site was built by destroying the habitats of many species.

So many reasons to attack!

Stop civilisation, for anarchy“

ENGLISH:

“A few nights before the last two hunts of the season on the Baville estate (in Essonne), a group of anarchist antispeciesists trespassed into the hunting grounds.

This domain privatizes the forest: a wall surounds 40 hectares, a castle and a hunting lodge, La Thébaïde. The owners charge 450 euros per day for the hunting trips they organize. Inside the park, wild boars and deer live waiting for death. They are fed and sometimes locked in pens.

After a night of intensive sabotage, 53 watchtowers were smashed, La Thébaïde was covered with tags, and the small wagons that transported the bourgeoisie through the estate were vandalized. If all goes well, the next two scheduled drives, which were the last of the season, will not take place, and the boars will live at least one more year.

We will come back and take the castle.
We are against speciesism and all forms of domination.
Down with speciesism, hunters and the bourgeoisie.
Long live the deer, the boar and the anarchy.

We are against all forms of hunting, whether they are bourgeois and private, or whether they are carried out in the name of the public interest and the “regulation” of populations. Watch out ONF.”

“Quelques nuits avant l’avant dernière battue de la saison de chasse du domaine de Baville (dans l’Essonne), un groupe d’antispécistes anarchistes s’est introduit dans ce domaine.

Ce domaine privatise la fôret : un mur encercle 40 hectares, un château et un pavillon de chasse, La Thébaïde. Les propriétaires font payer 450 euros à la journée les battues qu’iels organisent. À l’intérieur du parc, des sangliers et des cerfs vivent en attendant une mort prochaine. Iels sont nourri.es et parfois enfermé.es dans des enclos.

Après une nuit de sabotage intensif, 53 miradors ont étés défoncés, La Thébaïde a été recouverte de tags, et les petits wagons qui transportaient les bourgeois.es à travers le domaine ont étés saccagés. Si tout se passe bien, les deux prochaines battues prévues, qui étaient les dernières de la saison, n’auront pas lieu, et les sangliers vivront au moins un an de plus.

On reviendra et on prendra le château.
On est contre le spécisme et toutes les formes de domination.
À bas le spécisme, les chasseurs et la bourgeoisie.
Longue vie aux cerfs, aux sangliers et à l’anarchie.

On est contre toutes les formes de chasses, qu’elles soient bourgeoises et privées, ou qu’elles soient réalisées au nom de l’intérêt public et de la « régulation » des populations. Gare à toi l’ONF.”
