We Shall Never Forget

[from @news:  http://anarchistnews.org/content/we-shall-never-forget#comment-217028]

Friends.

We attacked two ATMs early this morning in the Fox Valley of Wisconsin, in addition to dropping two banners in two different cities. Our reason for choosing ATMs is because we don’t like them.

The banners read,

“We Will Not Forget Derek Williams. /A.C.A.B.”

and

“Release the PNW Grand Jury Resistors. Stay Strong Comrades.”

The reason for this action could be one of a thousand. But, we did this specifically to express our rage against the Milwaukee PD murdering Derek Williams and the kidnapping of our PNW comrades. Certain things in our minds cannot be forgiven and lines must be drawn.

Lets keep it coming.

Keep your hoods up.

Variety Show in Madison to Benefit Christopher French

NATO held their summit in Chicago in late May, 2012. Activists from all over the country converged in Chicago to protest the war makers, and we experienced police brutality.

Christopher French was among those arrested during the police riot, and has been framed on charges of “aggravated battery on a police officer.” Many of us here in Madison know Chris because of his presence in this town.

AT WAR WITH RACIST MILWAUKEE

Appearing around Milwaukee.

Critical Fragments Concerning the Palermo’s Strike

1. The ability of the Palermo’s workers to act for the immediate improvement of their working and living conditions is severely limited by the threat of deportation and other serious forms of repression. If decisive action is to be taken, it must come from an organized force other than the workers themselves. Unfortunately, it is not immediately obvious that intervention into the strike would be particularly beneficial to any outside party.

 

2. Until the above limitation is overcome either by decisive outside intervention, exceptional action on the part of the workers, or some combination of the two, the Palermo’s strike will remain firmly situated within a statist political paradigm. This paradigm is defined by the placement of the state in the position of mediator of all conflict between social antagonisms. The appeal to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to force the Palermo’s management to accept at least some of the workers’ demands is a prime example of this paradigm.

 

3. But management has a point. After the NLRB hands down its decision, undocumented workers will still be undocumented workers. Thus, there is space for a continuing antagonism which can stretch far beyond the walls of the Palermo’s factory.

 

4. In order to articulate that antagonism, the valorization of citizenship must be overcome among both the workers themselves and the leftists who have come out in support of them. It must be immediately made clear that integration into White America, if that is even possible for Latinos on a large scale in a time of crisis, is a betrayal to all oppressed people.

 

5. A through critique of the Left must also be put into action. The irrelevance of demands-based struggle must be demonstrated. Direct action must actually get the goods. The manipulations of leftist organizations must be exposed, especially those organizations which appear to be most closely aligned with those seeking the generalization of social antagonisms.

Palermos Management Emphasizing Immigration Status of Strikers

From Freedom’s Progress

 

I just got back from the Palermo’s plant, where workers have been on strike for better working conditions since June 1st. The picket is still as lively as it was when I was able to make it over there last weekend. Other unions at the picket line in support were the Industrial Workers of the World and United Steelworkers.


This has been a new addition to the Palermo’s plant. Management seems to now be stating that the strike is only in regards to immigration. At about 4:30, while myself and a fellow worker were standing in the median showing signs to traffic saying “no justice, no pizza” and “boycott Palermo’s”, a dude in a shiny new-looking Lincoln Navigator showed up asking if we knew what they were striking over. Upon my stating that it’s over poor working conditions and a lack of sick days, he started informing me that every one of the strikers was undocumented and it was purely a matter of immigration status, something we all knew to be false. He didn’t seem to pleased when I said I didn’t give a flying fuck about their immigration status and I stand with any worker in the fight for better working conditions, sarcastically adding that it was nice hearing managements opinion. He did admit that he was a manager, something that was clearly given away by the fanciness of his vehicle.

Anarchists vandalize DNR & Chase bank in solidarity attack — Milwaukee, WI

From Social Rupture:

Communique:

“Wisconsin is open for business, but Milwaukee refuses. On the night of June 11 we took extinguisher paint to the Department of Natural Resources(DNR) and Chase bank, damaging the buildings, windows, and security cameras. The DNR has been an enemy of environmentalists and anarchists since its inception. Their deregulations, hiring contractors, and destroying the wild infuriate us to no end. We hope our actions help Marie Mason and Eric McDavid get a restful nights sleep in prison. We demand that Marie writes at least one children’s book every year, and that Eric coaches a children’s football league upon his release. Chase bank was attacked in solidarity with friends in St. Louis. Fuck a cop! This Begins War. A war on the DNR, The State, and Capital. A war on misery. Shout outs to our friends in prison, friends in St. Louis, and friends in Ohio. Don’t regret your desire for freedom, or the way you are enlivened by rage and despair. Love, Some Animals in Human Attire.”
