DIRECT ACTION AGAINST DIRTY WARMONGERS

dirty protest against dirty warmongers - Friday 21st November

Went to Trafalgar Square on Thursday. Got bored of the media spectacle. Didn't fancy them watching us, watching ourselves on the big TV screen. Didn't need to listen to celebrity speakers, the "experts", telling us what we already know. Wondered why the stewards looked so much like the police. Hated the feeling of lethargic impotence and soon felt tired of it all. Text Bush your message? Fuck that! Our anger can't be contained in a text, and we refuse to be de-mobilised by "mobile protests". We prefer to stay mobile and make trouble for the warmongers everywhere. So, we took our resistance outside the city limits. As an action against terrorist dirty oil wars and the scum who make them, we spilt a load of dirty oil at the entrance to the Territorial Army centre on Priory Road, Hornsey, home of the weekend soldier. Next our anger spilled out, black and crude, on the forecourt of the Texaco garage, Finchley Road, near the North Circular. 5 gallons of dirty oil, and a further spill at the front doors must have made it hard for them to continue business as usual.
We don't have to be spectators. Polite protests pose no threat to the genocidal terrorists who call the shots. Passively marching from A to B drains our energy. The city is a big place and they can't watch or control everywhere. Let's break the routine of "protest as usual". The above actions were simple to plan, and were carried out by a small group of friends. Over to you...

fine but don't be oh so critical. many people wanted to hear some speeches, there were a lot of new demonstrators there, and there was a really gool social party at the end in the square. your kind of action can be done anytime, it's that simple - getting hundreds of thousands of people out onto the street is a rare occurance, so don't dis it. peace.

Do what you can.

Do what you can to oppose the real Axis of Evil: Bush-Blair.

If your values and circumstances allow you to take direct action, more power to you.

There is a place for all of us. I personally favor clandestine direct action that will cause the governments the most trouble. Unlike the Bush-Blair Axis of Evil, I do not condone collateral damage.

But I would love to do any amount of damage to the Axis by direct action.

Getting large numbers on the streets is key, too.

As an American, I cannot support the Iraqi resistance; but I can certainly understand the rage of people living under a foreign occupation. I would love to see the axis powers driven out of Iraq. I just wish our innocent guys didn't have to die over there.

Here's how to support the troops: Get them home now.

Our forces there have been there almost a year. They have had enough. Now we are rotating them out and calling 30-55-year-old clerks, bankers, factory workers, etc. away from their jobs and families-- calling them away to be sitting ducks as we wait to see who is the next casualty.

... Now imagine a few thousand being involved with the same level of action at the same time !!! Give those filthy murdering bast*rds a taste of what it's like to slip in their own sh*t.

To 'hell or wherever' with the S.ocialist T.ossers W.orking (with) C.hristians, leave them to freeze frame their videos looking for themselves after the throng of 'the BIG party' ..

Action / Now! Now! Now! Now! Now! Not f*cking later!! Don't make excuses!


Just bloody do it!

AAAaaaghh!

The REAL way to stop war is to post macho little rants about how hard you are and 'fucking stuff up' on IndyMedia. Not like the Stop the War Coalition who waste their time mobilising hundreds of thousands, many of whom haven't even HEARD of Kronstadt.

More attention for me! NOW! NOW! NOW!
