Caltrops Deployed, Windows Etched, and Messaging Left at Rolls Royce Site

a generic caltrop

Canton, MI
the early hours of January 19 2024

have you heard of MTU? it’s a subsidiary of Rolls Royce, based in Germany (but also operate in turtle island). a quick review of the MTU Solutions website will reveal they manufacture diesel engines for many unfavorable purposes: oil/gas extraction, mining vehicles, yachts, and perhaps most notably– military use.

MTU engines power 80% of the Israeli naval boats, as well as their Merkava tanks and armored personnel carriers. additionally, Rolls Royce components make possible the F-35 warplanes that carry out the genocidal airstrikes on Gaza.

“what better way to remember Tort than to leave caltrops and wall/window messages for a MTU engine technician training center?”, we thought.

and did.

free Palestine
revenge for Tortuguita
make every war profiteer afraid

ps-
there is so much more to do.
some of the aforementioned engines are made in so-called Michigan.

Banner Drops in Ypsilanti & Ann Arbor in Solidarity with Stop Cop City

Posted on 2023/11/13 - 2023/11/16 by unsalted
A banner hanging from a roof in downtown Ann Arbor which reads "Free Palestine, Stop Cop City"

Last night we dropped a banner in downtown Ann Arbor reading “Free Palestine, Stop Cop City” in solidarity with the Block Cop City Week of Action and with Palestinians everywhere.

The genocide of Palestinians is directly supported by the Atlanta Police Foundation and all cops defending it. These two struggles are connected. The unmitigated violence of Cop City as well as the IDF will be brought “home” to be used against us if the need arises. No to settler colonialism, no to cop city!
A black flag on a police monument flagpole which reads "ACAB"
We also improved a local police monument by hoisting a black flag reading “ACAB” in place of some thin blue line trash, to make them mad and make us laugh.

Love and rage to everyone throwing down to stop cop city, and to everyone fighting for life against domination.

Anarchism Must Not Be Criminalized – Statement from 12 of the 61 People Indicted on RICO Charges in Atlanta

Posted on 2023/11/09 - 2024/06/05 by unsalted

This RICO indictment is an attempt by the state to not only criminalize dissent, but a specific set of ideas which leads to dissent and offers an alternative framework to the state and capitalism. Anarchism, solidarity, mutual aid, and collectivism are specifically named in the indictment to make people afraid of these ideas, when the only people who are actually afraid of these collective ways of organizing are the politicians, cops, and corporations who seek to preserve their absolute power over humanity. If we had ways of living more collectively, satisfied our needs through mutual aid, and had solidarity with each other, people may realize they don’t need the state or capitalism, and they may realize that the greatest causes of human suffering and barriers to freedom and security are the state and capitalism. The state wants us to be atomized consumers who cannot survive without selling ourselves to someone wealthier than us, who rely on alienating, impersonal judicial systems and violence from a gang of armed outsiders to resolve our conflicts, who outsource the production of our food to invisibIlized, mostly non-white, non-citizen laborers, and who outsource our decisions to a corrupt, unaccountable politician class. The state wants us to be terrified and paralyzed into allowing the continuation of its sordid legacy through the land grab, the plantation, and the prison farm which haunts the Weelaunee forest and all the state’s territories to this day. This critical analysis of the state is an important part of anarchism, and it is what the state and corporate media want to scare us away from and criminalize.

Acting autonomously and directly to shape our world is a good thing. Solidarity means seeing our siblings in the human species as people with the same intrinsic value as ourselves. A society which depends on endlessly competing, undercutting, exploiting, dominating, and selling each other out is going to be scrutinized and resisted by anyone who believes in solidarity. Mutual aid means providing for each other and collectively gaining from the construction of mutually beneficial interpersonal/inter-community relationships. A society which depends on depriving us of the ability to meet our needs for food, water, shelter, and healthcare and then selling them back to us is going to be seen as unjust and worth changing/rejecting by anyone who believes in mutual aid. Fowler’s description of collectivism is a bogeyman meant to imply that anarchists intend to force everyone to give up their personal autonomy and sacrifice their needs for the collective, but in fact a core goal of anarchism is to empower people to have more autonomy, and a core goal of the state to force everyone to sacrifice some or all of their autonomy for the continuation of systems which enrich a shocking few and are making the Earth uninhabitable. Do you feel free when you go to work? When you pay taxes? When you pay rent? When you pay for health insurance? When you pay for groceries? If people had more solidarity maybe they wouldn’t allow the US to invade and exploit other countries with impunity. Maybe they wouldn’t allow the US to imprison millions of people, tear apart families at the border, or let people starve to death while throwing away half of all the food. If people learned about mutual aid maybe they would start to solve these problems themselves, start to mitigate the damage done by the state, and demonstrate that none of it is necessary.

Chase Bank and ATMs Vandalized in Southeast Michigan

Posted on 2023/07/12 - 2023/07/22 by unsalted

Anonymous submission to Unsalted Counter Info.

here in so-called southeast Michigan, it was too freakin hot on the night of the 4th so we decided to take to the streets for mischief, and what did we find but a Chase Bank with plenty of good-sized windows and atms!
we decided to redecorate. we glued the ATMs shut and spray-painted the windows, and used acid-etch paint to write messages of resistance like DROP COP CITY and VIVA TORTUGUITA!
we think that your stupid bank looks MUCH better now. down with beige minimalism! up with the spirit of resistance!
it was the best fourth of july we’ve ever spent.

chase, if you don’t drop the Cop City project, we will rain down more destruction upon you and your buildings.

death to america!
death to banks everywhere!
STOP COP CITY!

tortuguita mourned in ann arbor- cars painted and tires slashed

Masked demonstrators on a snowy sidewalk hold a hand-painted banner reading "Rest In Power Tortugita, Forest Defender, Murdered By Police, #stopcopcity #justicefortort"

Anonymous submission to Unsalted Counter Info.

 

last saturday, a crowd of 100 people gathered in front of the merrill lynch office building to share memories, tears, and vengence for tortuguita. the crowd was a militant throng, mostly in black from head to toe. the march took state street and then paraded behind a porsche dealership, which funds the atlanta police foundation. the crowd riotously engaged in expressions of grief, including spray painting fancy cars and slashing the tires of 40+ cars waiting to be sold. signs were left behind at porsche and merrill lynch stating “cop city will never be built” and “you fund police murder”. no arrests were made.

people discussed the cop city project, and how direct action can locally be taken to stop it. stopreevesyoung.com was discussed as a resource listing the companies (and the people who run them) who profit off of the murder of tortuguita. stopapf.noblogs.org lists the companies who fund this murder and desire to fund more police killings of us and our loved ones.

we love you tort, and we will never stop fighting for the world you believe in.

From so-called Novi, MI:

On the Night of Rage (January 20) the Detroit MI Atlas offices were artfully decorated with acid-etching paint. Hope you had fun discovering that your windows are totally fucked, you shitheads. Atlas, until you stop supporting Cop City, there will be no safe corner for you on Turtle Island.

We did this in Tortuguita’s name. We love you, friend, and will never stop fighting. Love and rage to all those fighting in Atlanta.

Solidarity With Struggle In Atlanta And Comrades Denied Bail For Their Nonviolent Direct Action Of Tree Sitting

If The State Responds To Nonviolent Protest With Violence, What Motivation Do We Have To Remain Peaceful? Over The Past Ten Years And Especially Since The Uprising In Summer ‘20 Protestors Have Been Met With Increasingly Militarized Police Repression. The Explicit Purpose Of Cop City Includes Training For Suppression Of Mass Protests By Physical Violence And Chemical Warfare. Instead Of Funding A Live-Able Social Safety Net, Atlanta Politicians Voted Against Public Interest To Create A Cop Playground. Atlas Technical Consultants Is One Of The Private Companies Propped Up By This Corrupt Scheme.

Last Night We Visited An Atlas Office In Novi Michigan. We Smashed Their Front Windows And Poured Paint At Their Doorstep. Unfortunately The Double Reinforced Panes Were Chalenging To Get Through—We Heard Someone Else Successfully Shattered Them Some Months Ago—But Damage Was Done Despite This.

No Cop City In Atlanta, No Cop Cities Anywhere! Violent Dranged Bastards From All Over The Country Would Travel To Atlanta For Training So We Must Travel To Defend Against Their Active Threats. This Fight Affects All Of Us, Coast To Coast And Around The World. From Grayling To Atlanta, Love And Rage.

Flock Camera Destroyed in Welaunee in Solidarity With Camp Greyling Resistance

Posted on 2022/12/17 by unsalted

Posted on Scenes.noblogs.org on November 30, 2022 – Link

A few nights back, the last remaining Flock camera near south Atlanta welaunee forest perimeter was destroyed in solidarity with Camp Greyling! While we fight the proposed construction of cop city, they fight the proposed expansion of a military training facility, & one of our common enemies, who are either investors, supporters, or both if cop city & camp greyling is Flock Security cameras. We oppose surveillance as a form of violence upon us, & though we have destroyed many, this is one of first written accounts; Flock has also helped incarcerate many of our dear movement friends & otherwise, so they must be stopped!
Do not concern yourself with merely painting these dam things, destroy them completely!
Death to all Flock Security Cameras, & death to the proposed Cop City & proposed Camp Greyling Expansion!
