----------------------

Dear comrades,
Please spread this call for swedidish ELF/anarchist prisoner Jonatan and publish it on lists, blogs and websites. Jonatan is in a closed prison far away from his comrades, friends and supporters now. He really needs support. His mood is changing a lot and he feels kind of depressed. We also would like you all to maybe think of sending him something theese days. He won't get a lot visitations tin this time. Jonatan will propably join the collective hungerstrike of prisoners in struggle starting the 20th december.
If you send him books, make shure that there is nothing written by hand in it. Also if you send him CDs they have to be original otherwise he won't get them.
Jonatan is interested in (green)anarchism, anti-civ theory,indigenous struggles...the wild. He like music of all kind (from HC to HipHop, Drum and Bass,Folk...). He'll be also really happy about posters and flyer from the resistance on the outside...
Nothing forgiven-noone forgotten!
For anarchy,social war and total liberation!
with love and rage

Under nighttime?s lovely coat-
Solidarity with Swedish
anarchist Jonatan.

On the 14th of
October 2008 the Swedish secret police
SAPO raided 3 houses in different places
in Sweden. They arrested the
anarchist Jonatan and took different tools,
political pamphlets, his computer and
other personal stuff with them. After two
months in custody he had his trial and was
sentenced to about 15 Months in Prison,
which he began in October ?09. He is
accused of three ELF-Actions.

?Urban Sprawl is the destruction of the
natural world in order to expand the cities
according to the ever-increasing mode of
development and progress. Middle class
villas, luxury mansions and industry are
threatening wildlife and endangered
species, as this is present on a global
scale, in every major or minor city, it is a
threat to the continuation of life in this
planet. It must be therefore be met with
no-compromising resistance! It must be
destroyed!? Jonatan.

On the night between the 20th and the
21st if April 2008 ELF claimed
responsibility for three actions in Almhult/
Sweden. A communication tower
connected to the Department of Defence
infrastructure was sabotaged with a firebomb,
a building crane in a urban-sprawlproject
was sabotaged and a logging
truck got its security ropes and hydraulic
cables disabled. Nearly at the same time
another ELF-cell has claimed responsibility
for destroying a new luxury villa under
construction in the forest by arson. This
action Jonatan was accused of, too. But
the case was dropped.

Especially when
comrades take action on their own,
without a group or community around
them and are faced with repression its
more important then ever to show them
that they are not alone! In this and other
cases, for example in the case of Michel
Sykes, a 17 year old North American
anarchist comrade sentenced for different
ELF actions against urban sprawl to up to
10 years in prison, we have to be there,
not just waiting on the outside. We have to
show that attacks by the state wont crush
our ideas and break us. It just gives us
more rage and strength! But solidarity is
not just mutual aid! Solidarity is a way to
be a partner in struggle and crime, a way
of showing your happiness about an
action and deep affinity with a hostage of
the state. Its not just about giving a
comrade infrastructural help. Its about
showing the incarcerated that she/he is
not alone and that her/his struggle was
just the beginning and will be continued
on the outside. Build up Revolutionary
Solidarity!

Let us make the time in prison
for Jonatan and all the others as short as
possible and fight for the freedom of all
and against every kind of oppression! For
social war, anarchy and total freedom!

write letters of support and attack!

Setting fires is dumb

Fires hurt and kill people and animals. Don't support people who do it or be stupid enough to do it yourself.

... wait, I changed my mind.

It is okay as long as you take extensive caution in selecting your targets and only attack property, such as telecommunications infrastructure, military and police facilities, banks, the houses of the rich, etc. Make sure no animals or people can be hurt.

I just discovered that there have been hundreds, if not thousands of attacks by the Earth Liberation Front since it began in Brighton in the early 1990's, and not one person has been injured, whilst the cops continue to kill people everyday and get away with it, and the Earth is being destroyed at an even greater extent than the last ten years.

There have been decades of 'environmental activism'. It has all failed.

Now it is time to up the stakes - we need revolutionary struggle against capitalism.
