A Home Associated With Dodd Drilling LLC vandalized

Posted on May 16, 2022 - May 16, 2022 by scenes

EARLY MONDAY MORNING A HOME ASSOCIATED WITH DODD DRILLING, LLC WAS PAINTED WITH SLOGANS INCLUDING “DODD DRILLING STAY OUT”, “STOP COP CITY”, AND “DROP APD” TO THE DODD DRILLING JERK: LAST MONDAY, A BULLDOZER WITH YOUR LOGO FORCED ITS WAY INTO WEELAUNEE FOREST AND LEFT A 100-FT TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION IN ITS WAKE. FOREST DEFENDERS RESPONDED QUICKLY WITH ROCKS AND RAGE, BUT SOME DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE. DESPITE HAVING NO PERMIT, YOU ALLOWED ATLANTA POLICE TO USE YOUR EQUIPMENT TO INTIMIDATE AND INJURE THE FOREST AND ITS RESIDENTS. TODAY, YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE YOUR SPACE INVADED. YOU CAME TO OUR HOME SO WE CAME TO YOURS. ALL FORESTS ARE CONNECTED–YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY IS NOT AS PRIVATE AS YOU MAY THINK. WE DEMAND YOU STAY OUT OF WEELAUNEE FOREST AND STOP WORKING WITH ATLANTA POLICE AND COP CITY CONTRACTORS. TO ALL OTHERS WHO WOULD SUPPORT COP CITY: IT MIGHT HAVE MORE COSTS THAN YOU ANTICIPATE, FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE. MANY CREATURES CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THIS FOREST AND ARE PREPARED TO DEFEND IT. ANY PARTNER OF THE APD OR CONTRACTOR FOR COP CITY IS OUR ENEMY AND POTENTIAL TARGET. TO OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES: THE PRINCIPAL ADDRESS OF DODD DRILLING, LLC IS A SUBURBAN HOME IN A CUL DE SAC LOCATED AT 64 TIMBER WALK DAWSONVILLE, GA 30534. THE BACKYARD INCLUDES A LOVELY FOREST WHICH IS EASY TO VISIT. THE WEELAUNEE FOREST IS NOT DYING; IT IS BEING KILLED AND THOSE WHO ARE KILLING IT HAVE NAMES AND ADDRESSES.

Atlanta Police Believe That An Organized Group Is Tracking and Targeting Officers

Posted on May 13, 2022 - May 13, 2022 by scenes

This is police scanner audio displaying Atlanta Police’s ignorance, cowardice, and paranoia related to what they believe is a group called “Black Flag Atlanta”.
The so-called “group” “Black Flag Atlanta” is likely referring to a hobbyist website here,(with a telegram here ) collects ground reports and police scanner intelligence.
The website is a resource for anyone and everyone.

They cops mention that they are afraid because of the actions of anonymous comrades who surrounded a Parks and Rec vehicle and attacked it while officers were inside and served the same to a juvenile detention facility vehicle: read about it here

The cops believe that “Black Flag Atlanta” is a group that tracks and monitors cops and their locations around the forest and works to attack them. This is laughably wrong. Rather than understanding that our power comes from open source intelligence, horizontal organizing, and transparency, they have conjured up a shadowy organization that organizes hits on police officers… and publishes their targets right beforehand.

ATLAS office windows smashed, vandalism in Albany NY

Posted on May 13, 2022 - May 13, 2022 by scenes

On the evening of may 10th I smashed 7 windows at the office building where the northeast offices of ATLAS are located in Albany, NY. I also tagged “ATLAS – STOP DESTROYING THE ATLANTA FOREST.” Destroying hundreds of acres of forest during the 6th greatest mass extinction of species to build a police training facility following one of the largest anti-police uprisings in decades is fucking disgusting. With this vandalism I urge ATLAS to do the right thing and drop any contracts with Brasfield and Gorrie and the Cop City project.

POLICE RETREAT FROM FOREST

Posted on May 7, 2022 - May 7, 2022 by scenes

On Wednesday May 4th police cut the a poop bucket contraption locked to the gate, by using a ladder to get it from over the fence, however they didn’t get much farther then that. According to scanners, they encountered a flaming barricade as soon as they opened the fence. They eventually cleared the barricade and drove into the forest a little ways. Then promptly backed off when met with a barrage of rocks and smoke bombs. It is not clear what the objective of the police was that day, but they definitely did not achieve it. It was also observed that barricades and the Atlanta steamer were restored by the next day. Nature is healing

Keep Up The Good Fight

With Love From Minneapolis

Posted on May 1, 2022 - May 1, 2022 by scenes

Employees arriving to work this morning at the Fridley office of Atlas Technical Consultants found a mess. Every window of the building had been smashed out, buckets of paint had been thrown inside the office, and the front was redecorated to read “FUCK COP CITY, DEFEND THE ATL FOREST.”

This attack was carried out in response to a call for a May 1st day of action, put out by our friends in Atlanta. Atlas Technical Consultants is the owner of Long Engineering, who are active participants in the ill-fated attempt at the destruction of the Atlanta forest.

Brasfield & Gorrie, as well as their subcontractors, should take note that there will be consequences for encroachment on the forest in the service of cop city and Hollywood dystopia. Atlas should realize that this endeavor *will not* be worth the trouble.

To our friends in Atlanta, we’re inspired by your bravery and resourcefulness. We want you to know whatever you’re with, Minneapolis is with it. You’re showing the world what a decentralized composition of struggle can accomplish, and developing the force required to confront cop city and whatever is next. Atlanta will remain a forest.

With love,
Murderapolis

A Fearful Conversation over dinner

Posted on April 26, 2022 - April 26, 2022 by scenes

The first of hopefully many fictional accounts of the Defend The Atlanta Forest Movement. This is a one scene play. Please perform this in any of the following locations: the forest, the front lawn of the High Museum, or in front of the Atlanta Police Foundation office.

Characters: Dean Reeves. Patty Reeves

Scene

Patty is standing by the table with two plates full of meat. Dean enters from stage right.

Dean: I just got off the phone Heinrich and MuchoMachoMan will start being given round the clock secuirty starting next week.

The two sit down at the table.

Patty: Oh Dean I haven’t been able to eat in days and I don’t think today will be any different.

Dean: Didn’t you hear what I just said? MuchoMachoMan is safe now.

Patty: How can you think secuirty makes him safer? Was there security when Forest Defenders went to your office? Was there security when Forest Defenders sabatoged those machines at your work site?

Dean stands up from the table fists clinched.

Dean: Now you listen to me Patty. In May Reeves Young is supposed to start chopping those trees down; this is going to get worse before it gets better. Who knows what Forest Defenders will do when we try to cut the trees down.

Patty stands up, tears in her eyes.

Patty: Do you hear yourself Dean? How could it get worse? Forest Defenders already have beencto our house and put that banner up. I can’t live in fear anymore Dean. The Forest Defenders they know our names. They know our addresses. We don’t even need the money; we’re millionaires and your business has plenty of other contracts.

Dean falls to his knees.

Dean: Fine Patty you win, the Forest Defenders win. The Forest Defenders will just have to stop another company like they did us.

Patty and Dean both sit down at the table.

Patty: Oh Dean thank you so much. Now I can eat this horse meat for dinner

Dean: It’s delicious honey. MuchoMachoMan’s children are the tastiest horses imaginable.

End scene.

Posted on April 23, 2022 - April 23, 2022 by scenes

ON APRIL 21st, FOREST DEFENDERS OVERHEARD WORKERS STATE THAT FOREST DESTRUCTION AND EVICTION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN MAY 3

This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for eco-warriors worldwide to come help defend the forest from any further police intrusion and destruction! The kkkops would train here to militarize against those resisting all systems of oppression; in the name of abolition we must take action!

We have over 500 acres to defend between fighting off the police and staving off Hollywood from clear-cutting the forest for their bullshit movies.

Go feral! Build pirate ships! Dance with us! Don’t bring your hierarchical shit here. Leave your clocks.
Bring your art and your fury! Let’s supplant the slimy fingers of the police and oppressive systems they make possible.

If you are interested in throwing down and joining our funky feral brigade, hit us up on the riseup at:

Our enemies will not rest

Posted on March 19, 2022 - March 19, 2022 by scenes

To Reeves Young:

You will have noticed by now that several of your machines have ceased to function, their arteries corroded from within. Last week, we sabotaged six Earth-raping machines——including two large excavators and a bulldozer——at a Reeves Young construction site in Flowery Branch, Georgia. So long as you continue to contract with the Atlanta Police Foundation for the destruction of the South Atlanta Forest, and the construction of a Cop City in its place, know that your equipment is not safe. Your offices are not safe. Your homes are not safe.

Unless your company chooses to pull out of the APF’s Cop City project of its own volition, we will undermine your profits so severely that you’ll have no choice but to drop the contract. A recent article in the AJC estimated that forest defenders already “have done hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to utility equipment.” Our conservative estimate places you now hundreds of thousands deeper in the red. Though we fight in defense of the forest, against Cop City, our struggle is not contained there. Wherever you are, we will find you. All fields are battlefields. All machines are targets.

To our friends:

Solidarity means attack. If you hate the cops and love the forest; if you feel as we do that they have already taken too much from us——venture into the night and fight back. Sabotage and vandalize. Don’t get caught. By bleach, sand or fire, you can destroy the Earth destroyers. (Read Chapter 5 of “Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching” for details——practice good security if searching online.) We will not sit idly by as they desolate one of our last wild spaces, all to sharpen their tools of mass domestication. The logic of death ends with us. We choose life.

We do not need more training centers for the police to practice killing us. We do not need more Amazon warehouses for two-hour delivery of fleshlights and Quest bars. What we need is what we already have, what Reeves Young aims to ruin: spaces free from Empire; soil, roots and water, mutually healing; trees bending in the wind; a friend’s eyes shining in the light of the fire.

We will not rest, so neither will our enemies. In solidarity with all those locked in cages; in solidarity with all those combating Russian and Amerikkkan imperialism——let us strike without fear at everything which confines and assails us. May the flame that burns inside us burn everything around us.

With burning heart,

Defend the Barricades; Calling Feral Anarchists to Atlanta Forest!

Posted on March 9, 2022 - March 19, 2022 by scenes

“No Forest? No Peace! Truck the Police!”, reads a banner hanging from a skypod attached to an overturned truck blocking the ONLY Bridge crossing the little creek between the police construction staging ground and the main part of the forest which they intend to destroy.

This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for eco-warriors worldwide to come help defend the forest from any further police intrusion and destruction! The kkkops would train here to militarize against those resisting all systems of oppression; in the name of abolition we must take action!

We need ingenious comrades to help person and support the skypod (the “Truck Stop”), as well as help maintain the TEN existing barricades around the Camp Deadnettle areas (& forge new ones!)

Deadnettle is a virulent plant that grows in disturbed soil, in this it is akin to our rag-tag crew of rowdy comrades who gather in places of disruption to stand against the machines.

This is OUR forest and will NEVER become the mock kkkop training city they intend it to be!

We have over 500 acres to defend between fighting off the police and staving off Hollywood from clear-cutting the forest for their bullshit movies.

If you come to make a stand against the long arm of the law, know that autonomous action is encouraged!

Go feral! Build pirate ships! Dance with us! Don’t bring your hierarchical shit here. Leave your clocks.

Bring your art and your fury! Let’s supplant the slimy fingers of the police and oppressive systems they make possible.

The main gate police and earth destroying machinery use to enter the forest has been barricaded shut– help us keep it that way!

CONCERNING THE DESTRUCTION OF LONG ENGINEERING VEHICLES, ATLANTA GEORGIA:

Posted on March 1, 2022 - March 8, 2022 by scenes

On Mar. 1st, 2022, FIVE large Long Engineering trucks used to do
survey work to help delineate destruction in the South Atlanta Forest
were destroyed in solidarity with eco-defenders currently protecting the
forest from being clear-cut to build cop city and more Hollywood
infrastructure for Black Hall Studios.
There will be NO peace for any subcontractors involved with the
planning or destruction of the south Atlanta Forest until ALL contracts
with the Atlanta Police Foundation & Black Hall Studios have been
withdrawn, & the Forest is safe from any and ALL destruction. We do NOT
differentiate “pre-construction ” & “construction “…
It is EASY to approach vehicles and machinery sitting like ducks in
subcontractor parking lots and simply pour gallons of bleach into their
gas tanks and render any and all of their equipment used to subjugate
the land completely dead and inoperable!
This is a CALL-TO-ACTION for more eco-warriors to replicate these
actions in the name of Defending the Forest and ALL creatures wild and
Free!
Save the South Atlanta Forest! Destroy all of the machines! Tear up
all of the roads! There is no “perfect moment” to act on the horizon,
the time is ripe!
Fuck your ego and use the cover of darkness to go out and get shit
done, for we need more faceless saboteurs to help bankrupt all of these
companies from being able to function.
It only costs $1.00 for a gallon of bleach and it costs them
$50,000.00 (or more!) Per vehicle…
DEFEND THE FOREST! FIGHT THE COPS! OUR WOODS NOT HOLLYWOODS!
