🔻Rail Bridge Set on Fire, Oregon, USA - 23 August, 2023 The target was a Portland and Western Railroad bridge/trestle over the Willamette River between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie, Oregon. We will respond to the civilization that destroys the earth and the possibility of free life with destruction in turn. PNWR has a diverse traffic base based on carload commodities. Woodchips, paper, agricultural goods, and aggregates are all major sources of traffic. Primary amongst the road’s over 135 customers are Stimson Lumber Company, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Georgia Pacific, and Hampton Lumber Sales. The rail also transports Oil from Exxon Mobile, Asphalt, and petroleum products. Rail is a primary method of transportation of materials for the industry that makes war possible. The industrial activity responsible for climate collapse has no real interest in stopping its devastation but instead insists on pretending to be environmentally friendly and using terms such as “green energy”, with new sources of extractive energy that are still harmful to ecosystems and our lives; And above all, with the clarity that each of us are the only ones who can combat the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth, adding our initiative and action to the internationalist campaign. Switch Off!” May this action be a warm greeting of solidarity to those who have stuck blows such as the attacks on Cement Plants in Germany, the Mapuche Warriors fighting in Chile, Saboteurs of the Mountain Valley Pipeline in West Vriginia, attackers of the techno-fascist progressive “green energy” project “Tesla”, efforts against the military production companies such as Elbit powering the genocide of Palestinians, those steady fustrating the efforts of Cop City in Atlanta, GA, and all those who take action recognizing that attack must be immediate and everywhere the facilities and means of those responsible for the devastation are located, contributing to dialogue through direct action and attack. For those who we walk with on the offensive we greet warmly. We take this action as a carrying of our dead. We have not forgotten and we carry on. Switch Off! The System Of Destruction – some anarchists

TONIGHT! Shut down the DNC! 📍7pm, Zionist Consulate, Chicago.

🔻BREAKING: Local news reports that the Cambridge, MA location of Elbit Systems (Israel's largest weapons company) is effectively shut down due to relentless community protest and militant direct actions! A small victory in the fight to #ShutElbitDown Cambridge Day just reported "The Cambridge office of KMC Systems, a subsidiary of Israeli defense contractor Elbit Systems, is virtually empty because “99.9 percent” of employees work from home, police say, and there are other signs that the company is leaving the city." The local movement against Elbit put the idea of "diversity of tactics" into action, deploying weekly pickets and canvasses, home demos, secondary/tertiary targeting, and militant autonomous direct action and property damage to build pressure on Elbit and its enablers. In response to arrests and state repression, the movement did not back down. Its militancy is what gave the movement teeth. We encourage other locales to learn from the successful tactics used in Cambridge to go on the offensive against their local police/military infrastructure. We salute our friends in BDS Boston, PYM Boston, Pal Action, and all autonomous formations who participated in the fight to #ShutElbitDown in Cambridge. Wherever Elbit moves, we will follow, until every war profiteer is vanquished, until Palestine is free! Report from BDS Boston: Reporters find that operations seem to have stopped at Elbit Systems' "Cambridge Innovation Center," following relentless community pressure. Elbit & its Cambridge landlord Intercontinental refuse to confirm this information, hiding behind local police. Upon its opening in 2021, Elbit claimed the Center would host up to 60 engineers, while benefiting from proximity to MIT, Harvard, and "the region’s vibrant Life Sciences Corridor." Three years later, the Center appears to be sitting virtually empty. Elbit's failure to realize its ambitions for the Cambridge Innovation Center is a testament to the power of community organizing. But now is not the time to rest. We must force Intercontinental to fully remove Elbit from 130 Bishop Allen Drive. Be there this Wednesday 12PM. Furthermore we must prevent Elbit from quietly moving its Cambridge Innovation Center to another location in the Boston area. Share this mailer widely to make sure other real estate owners & leasing agents know: wherever Elbit goes, disruptive community protests follow. We will keep fighting until Elbit Systems is gone: From Cambridge and everywhere. Keep fighting with us.

📣 FREE THE PRISONERS FREE THEM ALL! BREAK THE CHAINS, LET THEM FALL! 📣 This upcoming Saturday August 17th the NYC Revolutionary Youth alongside organizations like For Our Liberation, Samidoun, and Saor Eire Anois, will be hosting a community gathering and fundraising event for political prisoners. Join us for good food, to strategize amongst comrades, to learn more about poltical prisoners, and to build a real presence of revolutionary forces amongst the community of West Harlem. 🗓️ Saturday August 17th ⏱️ 4pm 📍St Nicolas Park (130th St and St Nicolas Terrace)

🔻Stop Cop City, Stop Cop Nation, Stop Cop World! Early this morning, construction machinery belonging to Cop City contractor Brent Scarborough was found burning. Defend the Atlanta Forest reported: "Machinery belonging to Brent Scarborough Co., a subcontractor of Brasfield&Gorrie who are building Cop City, was burned with "improvised incendiary devices." Cops told the media that saboteurs endangered the public. At the scene, they told neighbors there was no danger." Militant direct actions like these, targeting police infrastructure and construction contractors, have caused huge delays in the construction of Atlanta's Cop City. You can read more reports from actions and find useful resources here: scenes.noblogs.org The movement for Palestine is a movement against the police. From Palestine to Weelaunee... VICTORY OVER EMPIRE!

Anonymous submission: August 7 - We busted up the windows of a Ralph Lauren on Madison Ave for supporting Israel's genocide. Ralph Lauren operates stores in lsrael and has faced calls to boycott over its partnership with L'Oreal, a "warm friend of Israel". We targeted the heart of Upper East Side because the filthy rich who live there feel immune to the death and violence that supports their lifesteyle like a trust fund. These American capitalist elites sleep feeling safe and sound in their beds as the US war machine rains bombs and facilitates genocide and suffering around the world to line their pockets. Electoral politics and organizations only refine and perfect this system, so grow up and smash some shit. Break their blood-thirsty silence and terrorize the rich. EAT THEM. Ralph Lauren is also a "proud supporter of Team USA" and the official designer of their Olympic uniforms. Team USA wears their clothes to represent US imperialism and capitalist greed to the world. The Olympics are allowing Israel and its sponsor the USA to compete as if the last 10 months of genocide never happened. Fuck the Olympics, fuck Zionism, and fuck all nations. Well we smashed Ralph Lauren's shamelessly proud display of US nationalist propaganda, and will continue to smash symbols of US empire everywhere.

Anonymous submission: 🔻Autonomous Individuals paid a visit to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) or the Zionist Lobby as a call to mass escalation across the DMV and the United States for Palestine. 10 Months into this continued Genocide has yielded movement yet there has been little systematic change. Escalation needs to increase 10 fold. The Zionist Entity needs to feel the heat from all sides. This is the most brutal, violent, and accessible via cell phone genocide in our collective human history. We need to take un-precedent action to make it known that this funding using US payer tax dollars needs to end. Reparations and Land Back immediately for all Palestinians from the West Bank to Gaza and other parts of Occupied Palestine. AIPAC is a corrupt foreign organization that plugs and play the morally bankrupt American politician like a game of monopoly while American taxpayers pay for the weapons that are being dropped in Gaza. This message is once again targeted towards those in Washington DC to move past liberal zionist organizations, Peace Police, and fear mongers that have stunted political growth and development. The Al - Thawabet set forth by Palestinians in Occupied Palestine for their liberation should be the first thing you know and understand. Honor all the Martyrs and Glory to the Resistance from Hämãs, Jenin’s Brigade, the Lions Den, HezBol, Yemen, and more. 🔻

At least two hundred of our comrades in Bangladesh have been martyred by the Awami League in the past two weeks. At this very moment, the government is in the process of targeting, jailing, torturing, and enforcing the “disappearance” of all Bangladeshis who continue to resist. These martyrs are paying an unfathomable price for the Global Intifada. To escalate at that level, to genuinely threaten the state, cannot be achieved without inviting tremendous tragedy and loss to one’s own community. If we want to achieve liberation in America, we must be prepared to make these same sacrifices. This moment should be galvanizing. It should move us not to mere sympathy or self-abnegation, but to purposeful, principled action. It should remind us that we are part of something that is bigger than ourselves, and that we cannot lose in the end. That while we may be lonely in the imperial core, we have the entire world behind our struggle. When students fight, they always win. The Bangladeshi students’ triumph last Sunday, as well as their continued battle against the oppressive state, are universal experiences in the fight for global liberation. We recognize the success of the Biplob so far—as well as the necessity for continued struggle until the Awami League and fascism itself are destroyed. It is a struggle that we must join in. We demand that the autocratic government of Bangladesh resign and give the people of Bangladesh the freedom they fought for in 1971. We demand that the American people confront their government’s participation in the 1971 genocide of Bangladeshis; we demand that they stop arming and training military agitators across the Global South. We send love and wait to learn more from our comrades. Long live the People’s Biplob. Long live the Global Intifada. (2/2)

Biplob Cholbe (Revolution Must Continue): a statement from the militants of Hind's Hall in solidarity with the student movement in Bangladesh We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization. We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the Global South. Our Intifada is an internationalist one—we are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. We reject every genocidal, eugenicist regime that seeks to undermine the personhood of the colonized. As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South, who have been on the frontlines in the fight against tyranny and domination which undergird the imperialist world order. “Biplob Cholbe” (Revolution must continue) As we, the militants of Hind’s Hall, continue our fight for Palestine from within the belly of the beast, we draw inspiration not only from the Palestinian resistance but from every struggle for liberation across the globe. This week, we are inspired by the student protesters of Bangladesh as they wage a People’s Biplob (Revolution) against the autocratic Awami League—a party that has retained absolute power under prime minister Sheikh Hesina since 2009. While the Awami League employs counter-revolutionary violence to suppress dissent, working class students have led a seismic Biplob in the Global South. In the week since the protests began, the fascist Awami League has deployed nine thousand members of the Border Guard Bangladesh, a paramilitary force responsible for the nation’s border security, into streets across the country. The BGB—with the aid of police goons, armed forces trained by the US and the EU, and the ruling party’s student wing the Chhatra League—have murdered hundreds of protesters across the country. Nonetheless, the student movement has resisted and prevailed. Through direct action, they have set fire to the nation’s central propaganda network, the national broadcaster BTV. They achieved a major victory last Sunday, when the government rolled back the job quotas that were designed to keep Hasina in power. The unwavering determination of Bangladeshi students and working class people sets a global precedent that we must incorporate into our actions for Palestine and against state repression. After Hasina broadcasted messages denouncing the Biplob, insulting protesters and calling them “traitors,” actionists set fire to the state broadcasting network’s headquarters. When the Awami League responded with further repression, cutting off internet access for five days and imposing a curfew with “shoot-on-sight” orders for anyone in noncompliance, the protesters refused to relent or negotiate. Instead, they directly resisted by breaking curfew, storming a jail and releasing over 800 inmates, and setting fire to the prison, government offices, and state vehicles. This is the only way to respond to state repression. As the movement for Palestine faces draconian censorship and counter-insurgency in the States, we must learn from our comrades in Bangladesh and continue to escalate until the empire crumbles. The People’s Biplob in Bangladesh is a crucial piece of the universal struggle against American imperialism. It is the Intifada. And just as the Palestinian resistance escalated the Intifada on October 7th, it is now the people of Bangladesh who are escalating the global battle for liberation. By directly confronting military and police en masse, by not merely “engaging” but battling fascist agitators, by dismantling state infrastructure, they are moving the global resistance into a new phase of struggle. Those of us in the Western world have the obligation to meet them there. (1/2)

More footage from the autonomous action in NYC, striking 15 Citibankkk locations across the city. "We jammed the locks and card access readers, sprayed the windows and buildings, and issued warnings in red paint underscoring the company's investments in genocide." You don't need fancy supplies to inconvenience genocide profiteers' lives. All you need are simple, inexpensive tools, good operational security practices, and a crew of trusted people to begin developing the skills to take clandestine action.

🔻NYC anonymous submission: More than 15 CitiBankkk locations were sabotaged Monday morning across so-called New York City. We jammed the locks and card access readers, sprayed the windows and buildings, and issued warnings in red paint underscoring the company's investments in genocide: "ABOLISH ISRAEL, FREE PALESTINE" and "THIS IS A WARNING: DEFUND NOW." CitiBank facilitates billions in bonds sales for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, which manufacture missiles and fighter jets used by the IOF to kill hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. CitiBank is also the largest U.S. bank operating in the zionist entity and heavily invests in the technology sector there, contributing to the “tech-washing” of apartheid, occupation, and ongoing genocide. From its shameful history in Haiti and apartheid South Africa to financing IOF arms and settlements, CitiBank has long profited from settler colonialism. We call on all people to strike imperialism wherever and however you can. Close your accounts with complicit institutions and move your money to a local credit union. We must continue to escalate until there is full Palestinian liberation and return. Other tags included: 🔻DEATH TO KKKORPS 🔻CITIBANK FUNDS GENOCIDE 🔻DIVEST FROM GENOCIDE

Statement from a Palestine Actionist read aloud at a Pittsfield, Massachusetts protest against Kopmala Harris's fundraiser: "When this phase of the genocide in Gaza began, we were moved to direct action against weapons companies because we knew that no "democratically-elected" official would listen to those of us crying out to stop the slaughter in Palestine - that to do so would mean interrupting endless streams of profit and sacrificing hold over the entire globe from the proxy state and military outpost named "Israel." The only way to put a stop to the most horrific thing we'd ever witnessed was to make business as usual impossible, to lie our bodies on the cogs of the machine that manufactures not only genocide around the globe, but mass consent for it among our own people. And that is exactly why we championed the fight against Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer. The extreme repression we faced from the state afterwards forced us into silence, but now, as Kamala Harris makes one of her first public appearances since securing the Democratic nomination here in my hometown of Pittsfield, my continued silence feels only like complicity in the suffering of humankind everywhere. There is no one in this world I hate more than Kamala Harris and all that she represents, and here she is in this auspicious moment in our tiny city... ...I have never done anything more beautiful than put myself and my freedom on the line to try and bring about a better world. It's been a long and difficult process personally, but it would be more difficult to look at myself and know I'd stood by idly watching, deluding myself that the finale of US imperialism would come from anything other than rising up to fight it. There is no personal sacrifice worth shying away from when it's made for the evolution of humanity past this system that keeps us all enslaved. Breaking the bounds of our own psyches, rediscovering all that is possible, looking past the lens we've inherited from living in this system our entire lives-- all this is painful, and turning back to simple answers, like voting, like identity politics, this is all very easy. But there is no change worth making that doesn't involve the growing pains of overcoming our own limits, or making sacrifices in our own lives. We must escalate this struggle. We must stop our rallying outside the empty halls of power and appealing to the non-existent morality of our oppressors. Look around you and find your people, intensify your practice, strike at the heart of the war machine. It only takes a few willing to act to bring about profound change. We know that power only moves when we give it no other choice. Our historic task is to bring about the death of the world as we know it, and the rot of this system will be the fertilizer in which the new world will grow."

Our historic task is to bring about the death of the world as we know it, and the rot of this system will be the fertilizer in which the new world will grow. 

No matter who the democratic nominee is, we have to realize that these two corrupt parties will not and cannot save us, and that we need to build mass power and resistance in our own communities to create the world we want to live in. We owe this to ourselves, to Palestine, to all of humanity. Since October 7, we have seen the growth of a mass movement of people standing up to protest the genocide in Palestine. The messaging of those rallies has pinned the blame on Biden and Netanyahu, not American imperialism. The speeches and chants put forth at the parades championed by the so-called left-wing Orgs have emphasized the victimhood and suffering of the Palestinian people, and have skirted the responsibility to unequivocally support their resistance. It is not these rallies that have forced the Democrats to shun Biden and exalt Harris, but the victories of the Axis of Resistance and the efforts of those who have escalated the conflict with imperialism here in the belly of the beast. Zionist morale is crumbling as its power is dismantled piecemeal by those in Palestine, in Yemen, in the US, everywhere and anywhere, who are ready to confront the war machine head on. The failures and shortcomings of empty political sloganeering have become evident in this moment. It has allowed Kamala to position herself as somehow separate from Joe Biden, claiming the supposed successes of his administration while separating herself from what has been falsely deemed Biden's personal failures in Gaza, quite literally fabricating the narrative of "what can be, unburdened by what has been." It has allowed a psy-op campaign of coconut tree memes to grab our consciousness and make us see a genocidaire as more relatable, or at least silly enough to entice our sick and twisted post-ironic attention. The humor of her drug-addled stupor, her weird, quirky anecdotes, her intersectional identities -- we cannot allow this to be enough to manufacture our consent. The world as we know it is ending, and we have a duty to bring the new one to fruition. It cannot end like this. None of this political theater can be legitimized. We must be staunchly anti-imperialist, and every single US politician, Democrat or Republican, is an imperialist. And if we diminish our political duties to just voting for one fascist candidate or the other, we have forsaken our own humanity and failed the entire world.  For Palestine, for Congo, for Sudan,for Haiti, for Cuba, for Kanaky, for Puerto Rico, for us, we must elevate the struggle and not settle for the profound mediocrity presented to us. We must keep disrupting imperialism. I have never done anything more beautiful than put myself and my freedom on the line to try and bring about a better world. It's been a long and difficult process personally, but it would be more difficult to look at myself and know I'd stood by idly watching, deluding myself that the finale of US imperialism would come from anything other than rising up to fight it.
