Kansas City Atlas Construction Office Attacked

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

On 6/12 we smashed every window and door of the Atlas construction office in Kansas City area in solidarity with the Atlanta forest defense. We will continue this path of destruction until cop city is stopped and the forest can exist in peace. Atlas be warned, much more is coming.

Sending love to the forest,

Atlas Technical Branch in Tallahassee Attacked

Posted on June 11, 2022 by scenes
On 6/10, windows were smashed in and graffiti was scrawled all over the entrance of Atlas Technical in Tallahassee at 2528 Barrington Circle under the cover of darkness. We spray painted ‘Stop Cop City, Drop the Contract’ and ‘Fuck 12!’ before breaking the front windows across the building.
We cannot stand idly by while our friends in Atlanta do whatever they can to save the forest. In the face of extinction resistance is everything against the state and their perpetual war  towards our spontaneity and community. Solidarity means attack! The worse has yet to come for these pigs and their construction enablers. Nothing can contain us.
Solidarity to those defending the forest. Peace and love from Tallanasty <3

ATLAS office in Columbus, OH smashed up

Posted on June 4, 2022 - June 5, 2022 by scenes

On 6/2/22, we smashed up an ATLAS office in Columbus, OH on 685 grandview ave. Long engineering, a subsidiary of ATLAS, continues to be involved in the Cop City project in Atlanta, recently attempting to show up and destroy the forest. ATLAS/Long Engineering, break all ties with Brasfield and Gorrie and the cop city project or you will face more vandalism and work disruptions.

Attack on Bank of America in Minneapolis In Solidarity With Arrested Forest Defenders

Posted on May 20, 2022 - May 25, 2022 by scenes

We smashed up the windows of the Bank of America on Hennepin Ave in MPLS, and painted the front to read “DEFUND COP CITY.”

Our attack was in solidarity with those arrested in the recent raid on the forest, and we pray for the safe return of our comrades and a continuation of the fight for life against cop city and hollywood dystopia. Bank of America will need to end their sponsorship of the Atlanta Police Foundation or they will continue to be under threat from our friends across the so-called united states.

a toast to the nights we gave ’em hell.

FUCK COP CITY
FUCK HOLLYWOOD DYSTOPIA
FREE THE FOREST DEFENDERS
TRUST GOD, FUCK 12

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.

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

Banks Attacked in Solidarity with Atlanta Forest Defenders

Posted on March 26, 2022 by scenes

This month we sabotaged card slots of Wells Fargo and Bank Of America in Center City, Philadelphia. This attack was done in solidarity and complicity with those disrupting the construction of a police training grounds in Atlanta. Cops in Atlanta want to cut down a forest to build a mock city to practice squashing uprisings. In response, individuals are occupying, protesting, and sabotaging. People have started staying in the forest and fucking with the construction. The Atlanta Police Foundation is being funded by Wells Fargo and Bank Of America. We are excited to hear about construction workers being chased out and construction vehicles being messed up.

As proponents of self-directed revolt we decided to target the banks contributing to building the cop city. We hope that by communicating our action others feel encouraged or inspired to attack and disrupt the social order in their own context. While it would be preferable if the police project in Atlanta collapsed, for us destruction is an end in itself. We take pleasure in disrupting capital.

Our sabotage involved collecting plastic cards, which we cut into thirds. The purpose of this was to prevent the cards from easily being removed. Before going out we wiped down the pieces with gloves on and dressed anonymously. We inserted the pieces into atm and door card readers after putting a strip of super glue onto them. One benefit of this action is that it fucks up the machine without making a lot of noise or seeming out of place. We feel this is relevant to point out because the cop city is an example of the police preparing for mass unrest and we feel it is strategic to be able to act discreetly in light of increasing policing and surveillance.

Fuck cops
Fuck banks and money
Solidarity and complicity with the feral anarchists in Atlanta
Death to civilization
Long live anarchy
Chaos forever
