US Army Recruiters Hit in Downtown Brooklyn!

Posted on 2024/05/29 by neversleep

On this so-called “Memorial Day,” a U.S. Army and Navy Recruiting & Career Center was targeted in Downtown Brooklyn in memory of all martyrs of Gaza and all the courageous people of the world who sacrificed their lives resisting U.S. imperialism. Doors were locked shut, blood red paint was sprayed across the front facade of the building, and “RAFAH” and “GAZA” were written on the windows, along with red triangles.

The genocide in Gaza is a joint US-Israeli project, and the US military must be held accountable for it. Yesterday, the IOF accelerated their bombardment of Rafah by decapitating children and burning dozens of people alive with American-made bombs and jets. As the Israeli Occupation’s military dominance continues, the U.S. will only expand and explore its military role in Palestine. The horrors we are witnessing today are a rehearsal for the future that the U.S. military and its partners envision for people of the world.

The U.S. military has done far more than kill people; it also destroyed the land, torching precious jungles and wildlife, ravaging farms with chemical weapons, and contaminating rivers and coastlines.

THERE IS NO FUTURE WITH THE US MILITARY!
THERE IS NO FUTURE WITHOUT GAZA!

Recruitment centers play a vital role in maintaining the genocide economy by targeting the working class and transforming them into killers. But much like the pigs in New York, the military is struggling with recruitment because the people are waking up to the true nature of these institutions. This is a crisis we must work to exacerbate.

From recruitment centers to weapons contractors, it is our collective responsibility to strike at American Military infrastructure in order to disrupt the conditions that lead to genocide.

“The myth that the imperialists should not be confronted and cannot be beaten is eroding fast and we stand here ready to do whatever to make the myth erode even faster, and to say for the record that not only will the imperialist U.S. lose, but that it should lose.”- Kuwasi Balagoon- Black Liberation Soldier, U.S Army Traitor

NYC Anarchists Attack Caterpillar Equipment in Solidarity with Palestine

Posted on 2024/05/092024/06/12 by neversleep

(May 2, 2024)

To the Palestinian Resistance,
To the student uprisings,
To all those who struggle for liberation,

We took a strike against Caterpillar for their complicity in the settler colonial state, the Zionist regime, that has wreaked havoc on the lives of Palestinians for decades.

Today we struck several Caterpillar heavy machines as they lay dormant overnight, preventing them from working the next day.

Caterpillar decidedly chose a side by supplying the IOF with bulldozers as early as 1956 for use in the Sinai War and to this day they have not wavered from this position. During the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle the armored D9 bulldozer, which is a Caterpillar product, has been used in countless attacks against the Palestinian Resistance and people. In the early 2000’s during the Second Intifada, the Zionist regime demolished over 3,000 Palestinian homes, and murdered US activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah. The D9’s were used in the Battle of Jenin to destroy houses with fighters inside and raze the center of the Jenin refugee camp. During the Gaza War in 2008, 100 bulldozers were used to destroy Palestinian homes. In 2022, the D9’s demolished eight Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in yet another example of the long running Zionist genocidal project.

The Palestinian Resistance has renewed its struggle at the end of last year, fighting successfully to push the occupation out of Gaza and deploying clever tactics against a highly militarized enemy. The D9’s were brought out by the IDF once again to destroy farmland, desecrate a burial ground, to attack the Kamal Adwan Hospital, crushing the people who had been sheltering inside.

Caterpillar is clearly an agent and symbol of terror. We strike against it today to show our solidarity with those whose lives have been taken by the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer. Since Caterpillar has joined the war, it can face attacks on any terrain. We strike at Caterpillar today to show our solidarity with and appreciation for the Palestinian fighters who have provided an inspiration for freedom fighters around the world.

Finally, living in the United States, the main supporter and funder of Zionist settler colonialism, it is our duty to become a thorn in its side. It cannot dispense terror half way around the globe and expect to continue without repercussions.

(April 2024)

we celebrated tort’s birthday by smashing all the omny readers and metrocard machines at a subway station in brooklyn. it was a fun and simple way to make this city pay for upping its efforts to police homeless people, black people and palestine solidarity protestors. in addition to gathering data on subway riders, omny’s parent company cubic sells hundreds of millions of dollars in surveillance tech to the “us” military and other militaries around the world. from nyc to gaza our enemies are the same. we know tort would agree.

Chase banks vandalized with paint and locked with chains and foam

WALL ST FUNDS GENOCIDE!

CHASE BANK HAS BLOOD ON ITS HANDS!

FUCK WALL ST!

FUCK CHASE!

Initiating the global call for an economic blockade on April 15, early in the morning of Sunday, April 14, an autonomous group of anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist anarchists targeted multiple Chase Bank locations for its investments in Elbit Systems and the zionist entity in large — Chase Bank is the 6th largest stockholder in the weapons manufacturer creating the tools of mass destruction for the genocide in Gaza. Through concentrating efforts around Wall St., which WOL is marching on this Monday, we target those with the most blood money invested in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Actionists sprayed red blood paint on the front facade of the bank, spray-painted messages reading “FUNDS GENOCIDE”, “DROP ELBIT” and “FREE GAZA,” chained up the front doors to the bank and sealed them shut with spray foam. Heeding the call for an economic blockade, actionists locked up the bank to block the money invested in death. Chase Bank is closed on Sundays, and by locking up the doors, actionists were able to close down the sole entrance to the bank. NYPD scrambled to take down the chains and foam to make the storefront palatable to its money hungry Wall Street patrons, but Chase Bank is still stained blood red.

NO TO BANKS! Chase accumulates wealth from stealing from the oppressed, and uses that money to fund the killing of the colonized. NO TO WALL ST! and We say NO to the stock exchaange market, where people invest in genocide of Palestinians by investing their money in weapon manufacturers. FUCK BANKS! FUCK CHASE! FUCK MONEY!

FREE PALESTINE!

LONG LIVE PALESTINE!

OMNY machines smashed, cameras and card readers disabled at midtown Manhattan station

OMNY MACHINES SMASHED, CAMERAS AND CARD READERS DISABLED AT MIDTOWN MANHATTAN STATION

We struck at the heart of midtown Manhattan where the State tries so hard to maintain their illusion of fascist control. We broke your pitiful OMNY machines, disabled your cameras, and glued your card readers right under Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul’s noses. We did our own subway maintenance with hammers, a little spray paint, and some super glue. Evade! Beat the fare! Fuck your $2.90! We reject the National Guard deployed in our city and subways. We reject the surge of NYPD in our subways and anywhere. We reject the State’s tax on free movement and fare enforcement that disproportionately targets Black and Brown communities. We reject the State’s fascist surveillance through OMNY and any new technology used to control the People.Fuck the Empire, Free Palestine! The same military, police, and surveillance tech they test out through genocide in Palestine they will also bring here to track, oppress, and lock us up. Borders are fake, and so are turnstiles. Join us in striking them down!

NYPD Vehicles and Buses Vandalized at Brooklyn Precinct

Posted on 2024/05/092024/12/08 by neversleep

(February 2024)

TIRES PUNCTURED ON 10 NYPD VEHICLES AND 2 NYPD BUSES VANDALIZED AT BROOKLYN PRECINCT IN TORTUGUITA’S HONOR

In the wee hours of the night during the week of 2/18, some feral flying forest squirrels descended upon a precinct in the heart of Brooklyn. With caution and courage, they left the scene quickly, leaving behind the sound of escaping air and blood red lettering on the side of two NYPD buses reading;

“For Tort”

10 NYPD vehicles were left with punctured tires.

As these vessels are primarily used to cage and transport prisoners, protestors, and those who live in friction with genocide and empire, it is clear that these vehicles needed to be taken out. But there are many more… Stay sharp, fellow beings of the forest! Our grief and rage are hard and heavy, but there are openings where we can hold it as a stone to sharpen the claws we have.

Viva viva Tortuguita!
