Minneapolis-Saint Paul, USA: Bank of America Attacked to Stop Cop City

Posted on 2022/03/31 - 2022/03/31 by darknights

January 31st, 2022

In solidarity with the 4 forest defenders arrested this week in the fight to #stopcopcity, autonomous vandals smashed the windows of Bank of America, one of the largest sponsors of the Atlanta Police Foundation. The building was also redecorated to read “STOP COP CITY”

Philadelphia, USA: Banks Attacked in Solidarity with Atlanta Forest Defenders

Posted on 2022/03/29 by darknights

This month we sabotaged card slots of Wells Fargo and Bank Of America in Center City, Philadelphia. This attack was done in solidarity and complicity with those disrupting the construction of a police training grounds in Atlanta. Cops in Atlanta want to cut down a forest to build a mock city to practice squashing uprisings. In response, individuals are occupying, protesting, and sabotaging. People have started staying in the forest and fucking with the construction. The Atlanta Police Foundation is being funded by Wells Fargo and Bank Of America. We are excited to hear about construction workers being chased out and construction vehicles being messed up.

As proponents of self-directed revolt we decided to target the banks contributing to building the cop city. We hope that by communicating our action others feel encouraged or inspired to attack and disrupt the social order in their own context. While it would be preferable if the police project in Atlanta collapsed, for us destruction is an end in itself. We take pleasure in disrupting capital.

Our sabotage involved collecting plastic cards, which we cut into thirds. The purpose of this was to prevent the cards from easily being removed. Before going out we wiped down the pieces with gloves on and dressed anonymously. We inserted the pieces into atm and door card readers after putting a strip of super glue onto them. One benefit of this action is that it fucks up the machine without making a lot of noise or seeming out of place. We feel this is relevant to point out because the cop city is an example of the police preparing for mass unrest and we feel it is strategic to be able to act discreetly in light of increasing policing and surveillance.

Florence Prison, USA: Ted Kaczynski has terminal cancer

Posted on 2022/02/20 by darknights

Between the late 1970s and mid-1990s, a series of package bombs were sent by the Freedom Club to individuals and targets related to technological development.

It was during its last attack that the group published a manifesto entitled “Industrial Society and its Future“, which was circulated in the press at the time, allowing David Kaczynski to collaborate with the police, recognizing in the style of this writing that of his brother Ted Kaczynski, the only member of the Freedom Club.

Since then, Ted has been sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences, without any possibility of parole. After being in various prisons, he finally arrived at the Maximum Security Administrative and Penitentiary Center (ADMAX), also known as “Supermax,” in Colorado, essentially a concrete tomb.

The warden himself, Robert Hood [Wikipedia, citing newspapers, says that R. Hood was just a guard – never mind; NdAtt.], said, “The maximum security prison is life after death… in the long run it is, in my opinion, much worse than death.” For this reason, many people refer to it as the “Alcatraz or Guantanamo of the Rockies”.

On December 14, 2021, Ted was temporarily transferred to a federal medical facility for testing, which triggered a major police operation in the United States. Some time later, in a letter, Ted himself explained the reasons for the hospital transfer.

“Thank you for your loving letter, with a postmark of December 23, 2021, which I received on January 27, 2022. You conclude your letter with: “Get well soon. There is still work to be done.” You are correct. There is work to do. A lot of work to do. In fact, the work is just beginning. But there’s only so much I can do. I’m not going to “get better soon” – or ever – because I have terminal cancer. I can’t expect to live more than two years, outside, and it’s very possible I’ll die in less than a year, so the work will have to be done by younger people.”

Atlanta Forest: Fuck cops, Join us in the forest!

Posted on 2022/02/06 by darknights

The time is now! This is a call from some of us living in the Atlanta Forest; We invite you to join us in its defense.

The forest, which is stolen Muscogee land, is slated to become a mock-city for police training. We have no intention of allowing this, nor of limiting our efforts to tree sits and lockdowns (already there have been 3 arson attacks, damaged machinery, home and office visits, barricades, etc.). The more people there are staying in the forest, the more options are open to us. Living in the forest gives us ability to immediately respond to any threat the forest faces. We must not allow them an inch without meeting opposition. Not one blade of grass. As it stands, the forest feels autonomous and the police are reluctant to go deep within it. Help us keep it that way. Come now to defend the forest, in struggle against the police and the civilization that needs them.

Philadelphia, U$A: Burning Ashli Babbitt Banner

Posted on 2021/10/13 - 2021/10/13 by darknights

A few anarchists residing on stolen Lenape land in so called Amerikka were alerted to the presence of a banner drop hanging from an electric tower along route 76 just outside the city celebrating the late far-right extremist, Ashli Babbitt, may she rest in piss.

Immediately upon getting notice of this we went to investigate and lo and behold there it was, hanging up defiantly exposing all the passing traffic to it’s utter filth. We just couldn’t allow that shit to fester in our town and following the proud anti-fascist tradition decided to take matters into our own hands. We got down to the tracks and to the electric tower and cut that shit down on sight!

We then took some arguably incriminating celebratory photos and decided to burn that shit in an old rusty barrel giving it the closure it deserved.

U$A: US Bank Attacked in Los Angeles, California

Posted on 2021/09/01 - 2021/09/01 by darknights

The U.S. Bank building in downtown Los Angeles was subject to an anti-capitalist attack on August 27.

A group of about 20 people descended upon the building’s main foyer at 5th Street and Grand Avenue, hammered the plate-glass windows and spray painted messages.

Others used paint to scrawl messages such as “Burn All Banks” and “ACAB,” and “Land Back,” a reference to the Land Back initiative, an effort to re-establish indigenous people’s political control over land that has historically belonged to them prior to colonization.

The group succeeded in shattering the front door and destroyed most of the huge plate-glass windows lining the lobby.

The group left the area expediently, and were able to avoid the pigs.

Minneapolis, USA: Roseville Office Attacked In Solidarity With Atlanta Forest

Posted on 2021/08/25 by darknights

Responding to the call from comrades in Atlanta for an 8/18 day of action in solidarity with the struggle to defend the Atlanta forest; vandals broke into the office complex housing Corporation Service Company’s (CSC) regional office in Roseville, a suburb of Minneapolis. After smashing the office door and throwing cans of paint inside, a message was left sprayed across the front: HANDS OFF THE ATLANTA FOREST.

Demands are being made for CSC to drop their client, Blackhall Studios. Blackhall Studios would like to level the South Atlanta Forest to build the country’s largest soundstage and an airport, creating unprecedented levels of gentrification in the city.

Atlanta police plan to level 300 acres and create a sprawling tactical training compound featuring a mock city, with which they’ll develop the ability of police departments around the country to brutalize those practicing resistance.

Rebels in Minneapolis know what it means to inhabit a rapidly gentrifying city, and know what it means to have cutting edge police repression deployed against us. We also know what it means to fight back. Atlanta, we love you.

In solidarity,

Minneapolis

USA: Looking Critically at the Brooklyn Center Riot – An Interview from Anathema

Posted on 2021/08/24 - 2021/08/24 by darknights

Originally published in Anathema, an anarchist publication from Philadelphia, the following interview talks about the realities of the Brooklyn Center riot that kicked off in the wake of the police murder of Daunte Wright in the spring of 2021. 

This interview was conducted two months ago, which was already two months after the events this spring in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. The riot in Brooklyn Center took place in the context of the Derek Chauvin trial, almost a year after he murdered George Floyd. This interview was an attempt to reflect on one participant’s experience of the events in Brooklyn Center and consider what they tell us about how things might unfold in the future. For many of us, the George Floyd uprising has weighed heavily on our minds as we try to imagine next steps to take. What became clear to me in this interview was that between the George Floyd uprising and the Brooklyn Center riot — despite the direct influence and geographic proximity — was an expanse.

Although the Brooklyn Center riot was an outgrowth of the George Floyd uprising, it was also a reminder that the previous summer’s events would not be repeated. Now, after a relatively quiet summer, it seems all the more important to be looking toward the future rather than fixating our gaze on last summer’s uprising. In this interview, we explore some of the developments and unique characteristics of uprisings in the aftermath of the George Floyd uprising.

You were in Brooklyn Center in April. Can you describe what happened?

Yes, there was a police murder: Daunte Wright, 20 years old. He was basically trying to flee the scene where he got stopped. There was two nights of rioting — I am going to say rioting. Some people want to say “it’s not a riot, it’s a rebellion.” I am just going to say it was a riot.

People were throwing stuff at the cops. There was looting by car in the Brooklyn Center area, also in Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs. The first night the neighboring police station got shot up; someone shot the front doors of it. Someone else shot at a cop — maybe 3 days after it started.

All throughout people were calling for the burning down of the police precinct (that was the focal point of the riot). They never succeeded. People tried. The police set up a gate. It was similar to what happened in Portland at the courthouse. But they didn’t actually breach the gate.

After the first two days of looting, arson, street fighting, and property destruction, there was basically a week of confrontational protests in front of the police precinct. Continue reading “USA: Looking Critically at the Brooklyn Center Riot – An Interview from Anathema” →
