Devil’s Night Peasants Visit Slumlord Stewart Beal

Posted on 2024/11/02 by unsalted

A crowd in various peasant attire stand in front of a large house in the dark. A prop gravestone is in the yard, next to a large banner reading "fucketh you" in a medieval font.

Hark! Let it be known that on this 30th of October – Devil’s Night – we, the peasants of so-called Ypsilanti, have declared that we have HAD ENOUGH of landlords! The peasants have united to declare to Stewart Beal, Ypsi’s own Scrooge McSlumlord, that he is not welcome in our town.

To Stewart Beal, we say: FUCKETH YOU. No amount of wealth can protect you from our wrath.

You have left us serfs with garbage, so we left you with our garbage. Eggs on your stupid giant windows, rotten tomatoes all over your door and porch, and remnants of our chamber pots in the form of toilet paper all over your trees.

(We hear you are particularly terrified of Mountain Dew, so we hope you enjoyed the bottles we left.)

We were supported by the souls of those you have cheated, robbed, and killed. As we worked, gravestones sprang up across your lawn in memory not only of our collective security deposits and the rats that died in our walls, but also of those like Jeremy “Jake” Burd, the construction worker whose death you caused on May 11, 2015 through your cruel and callous disregard for the safety of not only your tenants but your employees.

The Ghosts of Christmas Past gave Scrooge a second chance, but the Ghosts of Devil’s Night and Halloween do not. Beal will know no comfort until he abandons his properties and makes reparations for his crimes. The peasants, renters, rough sleepers, toilers, and caretakers all live DESPITE what the city, police, and lords do to us– not BECAUSE of what they do for us. We do not need them. Until they are thrown off and everything they have stolen has been reclaimed… Every night can be Devil’s Night.

University of Michigan Regents Terrified of Students, Home Demos

Posted on 2024/05/17 by unsalted

The front porch at a University of Michigan Regent's house has a printed message taped to the front door and props for the home demo. A broken crib, stuffed animals with fake blood, and a fake body in a burial cloth represent Palestinians killed by the Israeli military.

NOISE DEMO AT HOME OF STACIE KUHLMAN, REGIONAL MANAGER FOR BNY MELLON BANK, PRIMARY FUNDER OF ELBIT, PRIMARY SUPPLIER OF ARMS ISRAEL IS USING TO COMMIT GENOCIDE

Posted on 2023/12/14 - 2024/06/05 by unsalted

Protestors hold a banner reading "Stacie Kuhlman Invests in Palestinian Death"

This reportback consists of three elements. First, a description of the action, and the reasons it was taken. Second, a description of how this action was made to happen, to inspire comrades across the country to act. Third, lessons learned from the action for comrades.

I.

From Jinx Press:

In Chicagoland last night, an autonomous group gathered outside the home of Stacie Kuhlman, Midwest Regional President of Wealth Management for BNY Mellon bank.

Activists disrupted dinnertime in Kuhlman’s otherwise quiet, wealthy neighborhood. Under the frosty glow of Christmas lights, they banged on pots and pans, sang, and chanted, ‘Stacie K, you can’t hide! You are funding genocide!’

Body bags representing the 15,000+ dead were tossed on Stacie Kuhlman’s lawn. Activists also distributed flyers to her neighbors. Some emerged from their homes to chat with LaGrange police officers.

One neighbor remarked to protesters, “She’s just doing what she’s told!”

“So were the Nazis!” they fired back.

BNY Mellon’s investment portfolios have directly funded Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons supplier.

The arms manufacturer’s stock prices have surged since October 7. As noted by activists, BNY Mellon increased their shares in Elbit by 22% less than three weeks after the Israeli invasion of Gaza—increasing the wealth of Kuhlman’s managed investments in parallel with the senseless slaughter of Palestinians.

Activists around the globe continue to pressure Elbit and its subsidiaries with direct actions and blockades in an effort to halt ongoing bombing and encourage disinvestment.

To add to this: Stacie seemed pretty disrupted. She seemed to call the police, but the small-town police didn’t arrive until about 10-15 minutes after the group of comrades arrived, and once the police got there, they didn’t seem to know what to do. At peak, there were 6 squad cars. After about half an hour, Stacie seemed to have left the house via the back driveway, and people continued making noise and chanting for another half hour, then chanted marching up and down the street for a little while to alert the neighbors of Stacie’s crimes.
