Direct action against climate criminals

direct action against climate criminals

Last night between midnight and 2am a group of autonomous anarchists targetted 4 buildings across central london for their continued involvement with crimes against a planet ment to be shared by all of us, not auctioned off for profit.

The world coal institute had its door handles chained together and expanding foam piped into its locks, the activists then went on to target E.ON (the company behind climate camp target Kingsnorth power station) with more expanding foam and graffitti reading "stop climate change now A", an indenticle attack was then aimed at D1 Oils PLC and one ore at a starbucks coffee outlet (recently slated in the media for keeping their taps running 24 hours a day)

Whilst their has been speculation about this being misinformation i assure you these attacks DID happen, whilst the graffitti may well have been scrubbed off this morning the activits did their best to make sure that no one would be able to enter the buildings and cause even more attrocities today.

This was covered by post  http://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/09/437139.html

I think it's pretty unlikely that the companies would have had time to do all you say in the three hours since you claimed this action took place including changing all the locks at 5am and cleaning off gallons of paint.

Please stop spamming Indy with this crap.

Cheers

Not true

Somebody wrote something very much the same as this earlier today but I went to Charterhouse Square where the HQ of D1 Oil is located and it's obvious that no attack on either the locks, the doors or the windows took place. The locks are old and well used if they had been changed it would have been seen.

I can't comment on the other buildings but I'm very sceptical that they took place either.

Speculation?

There wouldn't have been any of that if you'd taken some pictures. You did take pictures, right?

A lesson to Climate Camp

02.09.2009 18:21

A couple of thousand liberals on Blackheath= a few photos in the guardian dressed as pillocks infront of the Carbon Exchange.

a few anarchists with an agenda= multiple hits in a single night.


Sorry guys, it's a No Contest. All glory goes to those who shoulder the burden of risky actions (albeit stunts) vs those who prance around trying to persuade the police to be a bit nicer and the government to not be such meanie polluters. Climate Camp needs to agitate, not engage in 'liberal drift'.

A new Nuremburg

03.09.2009 01:43

the corporate and governmental criminal who are inflicting massive suffering and destruction on the earth and its creatures will be brought before the new Nuremburg trials. Subtract the holocaust from the nazi war and power machine and you have nothing else except today's corporate and government gangs. there are other insignificant terms in the equation (the nazis were better dressed for example) but there is no need to bother about them. The aforementioned criminal cronies of death should also receive the same punishment as those at the Nuremburg trials. In fact I am making sure that I am on the short list for executioner.

Climate camp did have actions:

On Tuesday people locked on to the front door of RBS' headquarters. Later about 50 people turned up and blocked the back entrance, so nobody could get in or out.
At Edelmans (Eon's PR company), people climbed on a ledge and hung a banner, nude protestors invaded the building and more activists blocked the exit.
DEC was invaded by activists with canoes, and Shell HQ got banner-dropped and had it's 'S' nicked.

Yes that's the point 'Baba' was trying to make. What you think are 'actions' some think were weak posturing.
I think this is at the heart of divide between elements of the camp this year, the younger, middle class (sorry!) media aware groupings think that actions like this are important and work, the little older (me!) more militant side think they achieve little and play into the hands of the cops / media / industry etc. I'm not claiming to know the right approach but Camp was a lot more fluffy this year and certainly less of a challenge to the staus quo.

Just got home this morning
