Easy Way To Attack The Corporations

C. Aotic | 02.08.2011 22:00 | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | Policing

Thanks to Hakim Bey, an Eastern-travelling probably Buddhist inspired 'chaos magician', we have been left with a very good method to attack corporate power. It is simple, free, very difficult to prosecute, and in the hands of one with a good sense for words, extremely dangerous to them...

I got the idea from Le Gavroche. Have read Hakim Bey but it was Gavroche who put me onto it as a genuine method to fight the corporate oppression. If you find one of his books check it out, very interesting things he has to say about the system.

Anyhow, the idea is as follows;

Send curses to the corporations. A bottle of poison, snake venom, a dead shrivelled up scorpion and drawings of cursed figures on parchment.

Really this kind of communication could be anything. Suggest to whoever recieves the fax just to do something, to fight against their bosses. Oh, did I say fax? Yes right. See, sending letters is very expensive. If you want to make a parcel, be my guest. More hard work makes things more effective, I take God's word for it.

Anyhow, faxes are pretty easy to send - you can send them free online. Any kind of curse you want to put, just put it in a fax. There's nothing prosecutable about cursing people, and it's completely just so long as you aim it at the institution not at the individuals. These corporations are raping the planet after all, and if I saw my Mother being raped then I'd kill the guy! Ahem. I mean I'd, stand in the street with a placard having arranged it with the metropolitan police beforehand.

Right so, for example you could start with BAE systems. Their fax numbers can be found here;

And here;

Then move onto Shell, Nike, Monsanto, basically whoever you feel like striking fear into the heart of. Say whatever you want. Use an IP hider and they'll never catch you. Tor. Tor is the best of these I think, though the organisation 'Anonymous' are saying that certain countries can circumvent it. However I would say if you aren't sending anything which is like literally death threats, forget it, they probably won't catch you anyway and if they do - well, be a funny newspaper story won't it?

But of course, you don't want to pay to fax do you?

You can send them for free from -

About 10 a day. You need to give an email address, but I wouldn't freak out.

So what are waiting for? Fight the revolution, maybe wake some people up and get them moving, all from the comfort of your own computer.

Good idea but I don't know how many corporate types believe in curses and suchlike!

Skepticism Cause of Schism?

Doesn't mean they don't work does it...

Anyhow, you don't have to send a curse, you could send something to the employee who is recieving the fax encouraging them to take, well, any kind of action you think is neccessary...

C. Aotic


it will never work

03.08.2011 01:21

the idea that some faxes will bring down a major corporation is foolish


a joke


so....

03.08.2011 15:21

you seem to be implying that if somebody attacked your mother you would send them a fax? or send a fax to their employees? i bet your mother's very relived to know how passionately you would defend her.

curses only work if you believe in them

Things like curses work on a psychological level - so if the recipient doesn't believe in them, they won't work.

Sending poisons might work as they are real rather than hippie make-believe, but make sure you don't leave any DNA evidence as I'm sure the police will take a major interest in such things being sent through the post.

I think you missed the point

There are a variety of things you can send, it is not necessary to send a curse. For example, you could send something indicating and encouraging the employee to take action. You might not 'bring down the corporation' in one easy shot, because nothing is easy, everything takes work. But you might have some effect, illuminate something to the person who receives the fax, even if at first this only functions on a subconscious level - if you send a just and reasoned argument, for example, rather than a curse (though this is a form of curse) - it will affect the person on some level, we cannot flee from the truth of facts, they are undeniable.

Anyway, as for the effect or non-effect of curses, this is a matter of opinion. They will certainly put fear into people's hearts, and this does have an effect. Personally I am of the opinion, based on reasoned study, that they are effective, nonetheless, if you differ from this opinion - why not send something else meaningful?

because it is a waste of time

05.08.2011 20:52

because none of it will work

who ever is going to read it is not going to think "Hey, yeah..... i'll quit my job and do fuck all whilst running up loads of bills and not having anywhere to live"

It just aint going to happen.

In terms of effectiveness, the 20 minutes to write and send the fax will cause 0.001 second of though in someones head and thats it.

Also, it is a fucking waste of trees and therefore not environmentally friendly
This kind of action should be stopped due to its environmental impact alone

Because corporate workers aren't human beings!?

25.08.2011 19:59

Call yourself a humanist, democrat, anarchist? Then surely you recognise that corporations are made up of workers and workers are human beings. Why not find some better way to get people to start sabotaging the corporations from inside and actually DO IT rather than just sitting around shooting down other people's points and ideas. Complaining, moaning, fruitless complaints. Take positive action, go on, do it, do it, do it! I might be misguided, but maybe you can find cracks in their ideas that keep them strong which are better to knock at.

Look, as if we don't all have an hour or two with nothing to do sometimes. That's just life isn't it. Why not devote these hours, in which otherwise 'the devil would make work for your idle hands' to doing something, anything useful, even vaguely?
