BOMB THREAT AT WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY (Netherlands)
BOMB THREAT AT WAGENINGEN UNIVERSITY (Netherlands)


received anonymously (photos: gelderlander.nl, omroepgelderland.nl):

"In the morning of June the 15th the ALF went back to the
Wageningen university. For more than a year this university
has been warned about their meaningless experiments on
various animals and especially pigs (obesity research).

But the Wageningen university decided to do NOTHING
and even sent the police after us! We are trying to help you!

So we painted the messages:
Danger Bomb, Warning Bomb and Stay Away.
We also busted a window through which we supposedly gained
entrance to plant a bomb. But we didn't and took off.

At 7.00 am this message was discovered and the police was called.
They also called the Royal Army bomb squad.
The building was evacuated and sealed up.

Media first reported that a strange package was
found but later said nothing was found at all.
But before they noticed it was just a hoax it was around three
in the afternoon. This was very unfortunate because
the university has an international congress on Food
coming up tomorrow.

See how Annoying a bomb threat is? Now we ask of you:
Make some REAL changes for the animals before the end
of the month. Real changes not meaningless debates or commissions.
Not because we scared you into it, But because it's
THE RIGHT THING!.

We have better things to do than running around at night.

ELF SABOTAGE DIGGER (Italy)

anonymous report:

"ROME ITALY We cut wires and the oil tube of a digger used to deforest. unfortunately there were men at work so we could not destroy the cab Earth liberation front"

ARSON ATTACK AGAINST POLICE VEHICLE IN SOLIDARITY WITH INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE IN PERU (Mexico)

anonymous communique (translation):

"On the night of June 8, we, the Frente de Liberación de la Tierra, along with some anarcho-Insurrectional individuals who are committed to constant conflict with the state and its institutions, decided to carry out an action together in the city of Ecatepec in Mexico State. This time our main objective was the machines that belong to authorities in that city that are used to rip up trees from their roots and to cover the earth with concrete; the machines were hidden under the bridge over Avenida Morelos and López Portillo.

When we arrived there we realized that the earth-destroying owners' slaves were inside the machines, and that they surely wouldn't be leaving until the following day, to work and to be exploited to earn a few coins for their subsistence. Why is it that people are watching the machines? Is it that the owners fear leaving them alone and the next morning finding them unusable, that their urbanist project be delayed and thousands of pesos lost in damages, like they have seen happen in other municipalities in Mexico State?

This objective was abandoned and we decided to carry out another; in front of the excavators, bulldozers and other machines was a large command headquarters of state police torturers, the ASE (Agency of State Security), violators of the prisoners in Atenco, accomplices in the killing of animals in Jaltenco, protectors of the interests of the multinationals, killers of the earth, living with the impunity that Mexican justice gives them, laughing with their machine guns on their backs and confidant that they can destroy any protest with their repression. They were there; maybe they didn't know that all violence creates counter violence and for all who are struck down, sooner or later there will be a response.

Dedicated like wild wolves who have left their dens under the full moon, we placed an incendiary device in one of the trucks, a small flame ignited the engine and burnt the truck.

Our sabotage was fast and effective, the destruction of social peace was imminent. What police would be expecting an arson attack in front of their very noses? How do those commanders feel who boast of the fast effectiveness of their subordinates now that a group of eco-anarchists have attacked their facilities? Do they feel horrible because the raid they carried out after the fire was useless; they could not catch those responsible who now write these lines of revenge against the anthropocentric state and its institutions?

The war against this system is deadly serious, if they order their police to suppress, incendiary self-defense will rise up.

We dedicate this action to the fierce defense that is carried out in the Amazon in Peru; the peasants killed by the anthropocentrist state have been avenged by their natural instinct to defend the wilderness, killing, kidnapping and also injuring the police.

Let's defend the planet where we live!

Show your teeth!

Now no more passivity!

how does this strategy of tensio help?except make you look like alarmist idiots?

18.06.2009 15:05

Some revolutionary groups have cells, but they are meant to be connected?. If anyone breaks consensus or delegation etc& does anything really dodgy then their out etc & there are codes to prove that threat etc was from official group,
""ELF, ALF?"" are starting to make themselves look like a joke.Real terrorism is not a joke & not good, wether done by the state or by a cell.
There are plenty of peaceful ways of stopping things if you really have to, work with other workers respectfully, a whole site can be stopped easily& unofficially or officially.

If your really that bored join the space hijackers, its alot more fun & productive+ gets results more effectivelly.
Yep things are bad, but how are they worse they have ever been??, no, just as bad shit happened to most neanderthals& some animals especialy cats can sometimes be vvv cruel.

If the BNP Stalin or other repressive dictators takeover things would get much,much worse& then fine there would be mass support for any real freedom fighting. This kind of seriously half baked provacatuer SNAFU only helps repression, just like the casebook strategy of tension in Italy by fascist cells who manipulated the NATO gladio network with the help of the P2 lodge

When people see other groups being as effective as ALF with the small numbers they work with, then may be we can argue if they are right or wrong. So many socialist and anarchists groups seem to be talking shops, the ALF get things done, simple as. Maybe you don't like the cause, but the strategy works. Having said that, of course, I don't agree with everything done in the name of ALF – but it's really irrelevant ALF act for the animals not you or me.

Me, you or anyone


Shorterm Effects v.occasionally good,longterm their bad when actions endanger

people or do stunts like this.Largely all it does it lead to a strategy of tension that helps the negative powers of big brother.
How was this effective, well coordinated international actions like that against GM have been effective in some areas of the world, but this kind of action switches people off.
Before media focus on ALF actions that were negative the public support for animal rights vocally was massive, its still there, but has been muted& stunted by actions like these.

What democracy we have & Safety & Respect are important to people, workers & animals in general& have been hard fought for since World War 2 & before.The peaceful Luddites in Bullwell& Basford Nottinghamshire had to deal with a army larger than that used at Culloden.
Still every loom or factory belonging to a oppressive boss in the region was dismantled generally without endangering people using tools, the good ones were left to flourish, the crowds were led by men dressed as women etc.

Thats entertainment,rock & bloody roll

Revolutionary effective actions by small groups like Hijackers or GM activists , or pie brigade etc are more effective & ground breaking than actions like this.
If you were trying to assinate Hitler without civilian casualties fine, but this is just annoying

I think you mis-understand. These are not stunts. These are actions in a campaign of economic warfare, just one of the campaigns that make up the Animal and Earth Liberation battles. Others include direct liberation of suffering animals.

Not Stunt

As 'Not Stunt' says this is direct action not protest actions, protest actions aim to change the minds of others to made them do something to stop a problem, direct action stops the problem directly. A lawful example would be giving food to the homeless rather than asking politicians to fund food for the homeless.

Both protest and direct action have there place.

Democracy doesn't help animals, as it's people that vote. If animals could speak they would probably see humans as Nazis. AR activists are the proxy agents of the animals.

You, me or anyone
