Atlanta, USA: Forest defenders destroy police outpost

Posted on 2023/03/10 - 2023/03/10 by darknights

On March 5th hundreds of forest defenders in Atlanta succeeded in destroying a police surveillance outpost at the proposed site of “Cop City.”

Defenders marched down a powerline clearing towards police set up doing surveillance by the forested site of the proposed urban warfare campus. This marked the biggest march in the forest thus far.

The scene unfolded by Intrenchment Creek and the Old Prison Farm/proposed “Cop City” site in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta – thousands had flocked to the ongoing Week of Action after police shot and killed a forest defender here in January.

Forest defenders overran the police surveillance outpost. Police retreated after crowd arrived at barbed wire fence and shot fireworks into the area.

Defenders smashed and destroyed the outpost’s remains, despite helicopter presence and sirens ringing in the distance. A security light post, police vehicle, and construction infrastructure were set on fire.

The proposed development of “Cop City” is a massive urban warfare training site to hone police ability to target and violently suppress black and brown populations in the US.

Philadelphia, USA: Norfolk Southern Rail Sabotage

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

In solidarity with the struggle against the police, entertainment and real estate industry in the Welanuee forest, the mainline belonging to the Norfolk Southern company in Lenape territory north of so called Philadelphia was sabotaged. Copper wire was used to connect the tracks, tripping the signal and potentially stopping train traffic until the wire is located. This action is incredible easy and simple to repeat.
NS funds the Atlanta police foundation, and is also responsible for the large spill of toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio. The spill of vinyl chloride is toxic when it leaks into the ground and air, but don’t forget that this chemical is being used in large scale production of everyday industrial products. Large shipping companies like NS are the circulatory system of industrial colonialism. NS is responsible for massive ecological and social devastation through disasters like the recent derailment but they do even more damage when they function with out derailments. So many destructive companies can not function with out NS and other shipping and logistics companies. How would the massive mono cultures of industrial agriculture move their soy and corn to processing plants and slaughter houses? How would Loggers transport lumber to and from mills? How would oil and other chemicals move from extraction to the industry that so readily consume them? How would Amazon get shipping containers from cargo ships to distribution centers with out NS, and the other rail roads?
Perhaps NS funds cop city because they understand both how crucial they are in building a dead world and exactly how vulnerable they are.

With love for Tort, and infinite hostility for cops who killed them.

Minneapolis, USA: Public Works Truck Lit on Fire in Response to Evictions

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

On the early hours of the 24th, in response to the eviction of indigenous elders, land defenders and allies from the roof depot in East Phillips, a Minneapolis public works truck near the depot was lit on fire.

Why light a truck on fire?
The city of Minneapolis continues to ignore the most vulnerable people who live here. The roof depot is an abandoned building which the city wants to demolish and use to expand the public works facility. If the depot is demolished in its current condition, it will unearth plumes of arsenic into the air. East Phillips is one of the most diverse neighborhoods of Minneapolis and is already experiencing pollution and environmental racism.

The community of East Phillips has made their demands for environmental justice known for over a year. The community wants the property converted into an urban farm. Despite overwhelming public response, the city is pushing forward with their plan. A burnt-out truck is a small price to pay to protect the health and safety of our neighbors.

We acted autonomously and encourage others to take matters into their own hands.
We stand in solidarity with comrades in Atlanta who seeking to stop the construction a cop training ground in the Weelaunee forest.

Defend the depot
Vive tortugita
Fuck 12

Fridley, Minesotta, USA: Atlas Office Targeted

Posted on 2023/02/21 - 2023/02/21 by darknights

On Monday, January 30th, employees at the Fridley, MN, office of Atlas Technical Consultants experienced a chilling morning. Sometime in the night, in subzero temperatures, the office window had been smashed, and the messages “VIVE TORT” and “STOP COP CITY” had been spray-painted across the front.

The following statement was also found:

“We stand with land defenders, in Atlanta and everywhere.
We stand with Tortuguita, murdered by Georgia police.
Atlas must drop their contract with Cop City immediately.
Tortuguita’s blood is on Atlas’s hands, and on the hands of every individual, organization, and corporation involved in the construction of Cop City.

Weelaunee Forest/Atlanta Forest, U$A: 3 machines burned in honor of Tortuguita to defend Weelaunee

Posted on 2023/02/21 by darknights

Yesterday, it came to Our attention that an area of Weelaunee Forest next to the river, near BlackHall Studios had been clear-cut. The machines they used were left on-site, so in the early morning we came and torched an excavator, bulldozer, and a front-end-loader.

Fuck a machine. Fuck the cops. Fuck liberals who don’t get their hands dirty and try to potray our fallen comrade like some white-washed version of something It (Tortuguita preferred “It” pronouns) was NOT. We believe & hope that Tort did shoot that cop, plain & simple…

At dawn this morning a sacred fire burned in their honor – We just wish more Georgia State Patrol vehicles could have joined the inferno.

New York, U$A: Attack on Amazon Delivery Vehicles in Brooklyn in Solidarity with ATL Forest

Posted on 2023/02/14 - 2023/02/14 by darknights

Attack Amazon! Attack the Police! Defend Nature! Solidarity with ATL Forest!

On Thursday, Febuary 2nd, we attacked a Rivian charging station in Brooklyn, New York. We hit four Amazon delivery vehicles, and one Rivian vehicle as part of the cost of doing business with Amazon.

We put up a message in memory of Tortuguita, our comrade who was murdered by Atlanta pigs for fighting against “Cop City,” the latest expansion of counter insurgent state violence.

The pigs intend to increase their ability to murder us and uphold the despotic state of capitalist barbarism.

We also want to highlight the significance of the environmental struggle today. The world is sprinting to unmitigated devastation, and the impending climate catastrophe will soon make human existence unbearable.

Capitalism is now killing off all life on the planet and this sick society heralds monsters like Elon Musk as our saviors.

We unabashedly reject this deplorable vision for the future, and don’t care what the personal repercussions are.

Just like Tortuguita, we will put our lives on the line and give them up if necessary to ensure life continues.

But not life for life’s sake. We recognize that only through revolution can we succeed in destroying capitalism, and without the total annihilation of capitalism, climate catastrophe is practically inevitable.

We will never give up our attacks on the system. Our only regret is that we only got one picture and couldn’t attack more. Next time will be even better!

Solidarity with ATL Forest Defenders. Solidarity with the struggles in Latin America, the Palestinian struggle and the struggles against the exploitation the world over.

Remember the martyrs. And riot and fight like hell for the living!

Death to America!

Berlin, Germany: Fire in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito – Strabag excavator set on fire!

Posted on 2023/02/14 by darknights

As a sign of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and his hunger strike against the 41bis regime, we set fire to a Strabag excavator Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in the night between 9.2 and 10.2.

Against the society that needs prisons, from whose construction Strabag profits. Against the society which believes in a green capitalism, for which Strabag builds power plants worldwide!

It is to be welcomed that there is an international resonance, which was initiated by the mobilization of the innumerable comrades in Italy. It warms our hearts to see how the solidarity with the anarchist prisoners becomes a weapon that seeks and finds its targets worldwide. Our analyses of this society inevitably lead us to attack and overthrow it. But it is not only dry analyses that move us, we feel a deep disgust for this world with all its constraints. We share the proposals and debates aimed at an international discourse. It takes an informal gathering of enemies of the state to get and stay in motion. Internationalism can thus enable the exchange of experiences, critiques, and perspectives, and promote aggressiveness. We can literally smell the smoke that the wind from the south brings and hear the echo of the comrades shouting: “Alfredo out of the 41bis!

However, it is questionable whether Alfredo will get out of the 41bis regime in the foreseeable future and whether he will be aware of all that is happening “outside”. It is also questionable whether he will survive this showdown with authority. It seems that the die is already cast. The Italian government has said several times that it will not back down. Surely there is much more at stake for them than “just” having a dead anarchist on their conscience.

However, fighting from an anarchist perspective means much more to us than saving a single life in this acute situation. Probably Alfredo has already made his decision long ago, as it is put up for debate in the text “Anytime – Some reflections on the last months of mobilization in Italy”. However, we can take the uncompromising nature of his actions as inspiration to intensify the subversion and ensure that the echo of his struggle, now clearly heard beyond Italy’s borders, will not be silenced anytime soon. With passion and joy, and armed with our dreams, against all that prevents us from realizing them; state, government, authority, justice, capitalism and the power structure that sustains it all.

Freedom comes through fighting movement – For more state decomposition!
Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Ivan, Dayid, Tonio and all other rebels in the jails.
Greetings to the anarchist from the Parkbank trial, who is imprisoned again in Hamburg
In memory of Tortuguita, who was shot by cops on January 18 during a raid on the StopCopCity occupation (Atlanta, USA). Rest in Power!

Long live anarchy!

Portland, Oregon, U$A: Solidarity Action With Atlanta and the Atlanta Forest Defenders

Posted on 2023/02/03 by darknights

“On 1/20/23 anarchists in Portland, Oregon went after the UPS shipping center in Portland in retaliation after a comrade was recently murdered by the Atlanta Police.

Anarchists broke somewhere between 10-15 large windows and started multiple small fires within the building. UPS is one of the biggest companies currently donating to the Cop City Project in Atlanta.

On 1/18/23 Atlanta police attempted a raid in the forest that was being protected by forest defenders and once they showed up they opened fire and killed a forest defender.

We want to express our love toward Tortuguita who was also known as Cami, as well as to all their comrades and loved ones.

Atlanta police stole a comrade and friend to many people from us on 1/18/23. few broken windows will never undo what the Atlanta police did but hopefully continued actions can bring the change that Cami wished for and hoped to see one day.

We call for more actions directly toward the companies that are donating to and funding the Cop City project in Atlanta. Forest defenders have a right to stay in the forest, and groups will continue to retaliate until the Cop City Project is cancelled.

Love from PDX to ATL”

U$A: Vengeance from Oakland – ¡Viva Tortuguita!

Posted on 2023/02/03 by darknights

Onto a concrete wall, "FTP" is tagged in red spray paint. "no war but class WAR," "KKKOPS KILL," and "KILL COP CITY" is  tagged in black spray paint.

On the night of January 20th 2023, 30 mournful anarchists took vengeful action against our enemies for the murder of Cami/Tortuguita in the Atlanta Forest two days prior. We shattered dozens of windows along the glass facade of a Bank of America building in downtown Oakland, destroyed the ATM’s, and repainted the walls with people’s messages of love, memory, solidarity, and rage at the assassination of our comrade before lighting the place up with molotov cocktails.

Bank of America is an enemy of the people and life itself. They currently fund the construction of cop city in Atlanta, the same project that threatens the forest that Tortuguita died defending. They deserve no place in our landscape. We destroyed quickly but tirelessly. Like the peasants in the Jacquerie, the Luddite wreckers, or the Haitian revolutionaries, we seek liberation in the most obvious way: the destruction of what we know is the cause of our suffering. And if we destroy much, it is because we have suffered much. “Vengeance! Vengeance!” is our war-cry.

To our enemies who seek to liquidate our lives and the earth: you will not murder us with impunity! We will strike back, each time more fiercely than before. The more you take from us, the more we have to fight for—the less we have to lose.

To our fallen comrades: your deaths will never be in vain! We will avenge you one thousand times over! Your blood is our blood. Your lives light the path of our struggle, and this is only the beginning.

We support Tortuguita whether they shot at the pigs or not. A shot fired at police is an act of liberation.

TORTUGUITA VIVE, LA LUCHA SIGUE

MARTYRS NEVER DIE

THE FLAME OF ANARCHY BURNS BRIGHT

COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT

FOR A WORLD FREE OF MONEY, COPS, AND PRISONS

FOR A WORLD FILLED WITH TREES, ANIMALS, AND LIFE

Portland, U$A: Fire to the Earth Destroyers

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

Answering a call for retaliation against the murder of Tortuguita, we burned a large excavator in Portland yesterday night.
Tortuguita died trying to kill a cop in defense of the Weelaunee forest. Never let this be forgotten.
With these flames we honor their bravery. With smoke we send a prayer into the night that the next cop won’t be so lucky.
We attack the same machines that threaten the forest in Atlanta and everything wild.
FIRE TO THE EARTH DESTROYERS
Until every cop is dead and all they defend burnt to ashes.
