Smash ITT. The middle bit (in pictures).

Guido | 18.10.2008 15:30 | Smash EDO | Repression | Terror War | South Coast

With many of the demonstrators detained at the entrance to Home Farm road, others decided to take the cross country route with a mobile sound system. It has to be said that the Smash EDO Kids have impeccable taste in music. CONFILCT, OI POLLOI, CRASS, INNER TERESTRIALS, all the old favourites provided an appropriate soundtrack to what was happening in the field. Cops leaving the scene were spotted humming the tune to 'Do they owe us a living'. Probably...

While some stay to pay homage to guarians of Home Farm road.

From SCHNEWS:

Half the crowd stood their ground, eyeballing the cops, whilst others in small groups gradually headed off-piste, up the slope and into the woods towards the back of the factory.

Marauding bands of masked militants swarmed through the forest, whilst clueless coppers couldn’t see the hoods for the trees. In a hail of irony, laser-guided paint-missiles bombarded the factory’s roof - staining the factory walls blood-red in a spot of unrequested decoration. After scuffles in the woods and open fields where someone narrowly avoided castration via a police dog bollock-biting attack, a group of about 50 managed to reclaim Lewes Road nearer town before being joined soon after by other cross-country cells and marched towards town.

jeez, police do actually read books these days thank fuck. Be good when they start disobeying dumb,illegal & immoral orders.
ITT breaks international law, its weird but it seems most of the people standing up for real law & order really are anarchists against illegal governments & fascists.
Heres to a great universal federation as Bakunin would say, now if only if we make more truce with workers in police & army we will get change.

Universalist


Vcool demo!, oops on headline typo above, I'd rather be doing more lathe work

Ive worked in manufacturing & been a protester for over the last decade, its really crazy to see so much money wasted on the arms industry, trillions on nukes which no goverment really wants to use.
As protesters & people please lets differentiate more in propaganda between arms dealers who try to only deal to nations that truelly believe& act on the universal declaration of human rights & those that deal to genocide like H&K & ITT EDO. They will be haunted until they stop, by protesters like us & the families of those theyve helped murder
Many Governments & organisations who should be enforcing universal law but arent, activists like us can help. There are good people & unionists in manufacturing& admin who would support us alot more if we had more discretion& were alot clearer. Until fascism &extremism finally dies out people need some weapons for self defence& our tactics refined to help change that faster. Otherwise people will just think we are naive & bad arms dealers+ fascists will find it easy to destroy our message.
I say this as someone who when a much younger activist did not understand, but Iam also someone whoes worked in manufacturing& understand it alot better now.

There are also weapons that definetely should be focusing more on like armed Killbots"9 people died in S.Africa recently&3000 or so had to be withdrawn in Iraq after repeatedly turning weapons at their controllers,nuclear especially nuclear cobalt .At moment I feel I dont want to go on any CAAT demos until tactics improve, if you want to discuss this email, I'd be happy to take time to elaborate, I will email your gen enquires

I am sure fellow workers & protesters can understand that Ive thought alot about this on courses at university,& in 15 years of activism & manufacturing.

It may seem crazy that most people at the moment really standing up,organistin & taking action for international & universal laws are anarchists, its not crazy its universalism!;)
respect for the universal declaration of human rights& heres to a true universal federation& more truces with police& armies to get it done peacefully, down with oppresion& government.


PSIf universal federations & coops were in power all effort would go into the war against climate change, in fact we wouldnt be in this pickle. Henry ford model T ford & Rockefellers policies made sure any alternatives to combustion engines were crushed. Henry Ford was a crazy fascist, his hemp car was just an exception he allowed his workers to make on a whim.
