August 2, 2009: ELF Sabotages Telmex Cable Line in SW Mexico City

Communique:









SABOTAGE OF EARTH-DESTROYING COMPANY, MEXICO

Once again, the earth-destroying Telmex company was sabotaged in the southwest of Mexico City around 2:30 in the morning on Sunday, August 2 by the Frente de Liberación de la Tierra. The idea was to cut the cables of the posts and then to cut the same post with a saw. It did not matter that it was slow and arduous work. The cable went through the branches of a tree obstructing its free growth. We climbed the tree and with cutters cut the cable, then we took a saw and began to cut the pole halfway through and with a cord tied to the pole we pulled, but unfortunately we could not move it since the movement of the cable that was connected to the next post was very noticeable, which caused nearby neighbors to call the police. This prevented us from continuing to pull the pole at the risk of running into the police; finally we left a mark on the post with spraypaint: ELF and Earth First.

For every tree that is ripped from the earth to serve Telmex there will be thousands of sabotages; we will not stop until we see disgusting civilization, progress and all those who spread it destroyed!

The darkness did not allow us to record the action but there is no excuse for not sharing the pleasure and the courage so we returned at dawn to take pictures of the action.

Earth Liberation Front and Eco-pirómanos por la Liberación de la Tierra [Eco-arsonists for the Liberation of Earth] are fighting!

So let me get this right, you have cut down a timber telephone pole to save a tree, a pole that will no doubt be replaced by another wooden pole.....

and what was the point of that ?

One


Waste of time

What a complete waste of time. If you are so worried about the trees just insist that Telmex plants two for every one it potentially damages. You sound more like a sad desperate individual in search of a cause rather than someone who has actually thought about your actions.
