Earth Liberation Front Torches Development Water Truck in Mexico

Communique:




In the clandestine darkness, on a tranquil and hot night, we assembled our dream with gasoline that would soon be fire.

We walk under the ghosts of the trees already destroyed, only our breathing and steps we could hear. During this night, everything went well.

We arrived at our objective, a truck full of water, utilized to squander hundreds of liters of water for the earth that civilization would later lick, urbanizing it and leaving it completely infertile, all for the construction of streets where zombies wander.

We placed our device in the front rim of the truck and we hid behind urban flora. A small spark of happiness suffices to illuminate a sad night of agony.

Our dark clothes camouflage with the shadows, and the luminous and round moon lit the truck that in some minutes would begin to burn. The incendiary was lit and began to burn the the rim, the chest, and later, slowly, the cabin of the truck would be eaten. A great cloud rose to the skies, as we felt a great emotion in our bodies. The flames were large, as large as our desire to see the dying civilization burn.

In the company of the stars, we admired our completed action, behind the trees, just as the panther visualizes its prey.

Suddenly, the deafening noise of chaos, of neighbors, and of sirens were heard. An ambulance arrived, firemen arrived and the cars that were near the smoke began to flee. The deafening sound was the sound of the motor of the truck exploding.

The social peace had been destroyed. Exploiters of the earth received their punishment, the truck was rendered useless and we once again struck without leaving any trail.

Revenge for the land, the trees, the mountains, the water and everything that signifies wild nature turned into merchandise for the anthropocentric human!

We will continue in the fight.

torching water development projects!

I'm sure the people who will now go thirsty are impressed with what you did. Animal rights and environmental politics which dont value human life, which see it as a a form of Zombie living as is quoted, are scarily out of touch with our human reality.

Action for actions sake is not helpfull. there are lots of targets that are better than this.

slightly sensible

There is nothing in the original post that says that the water development project is for humans and thus people will go thirsty, that's just your own presumptions or prejudices coming through. At no point do they say they don't value life, or that they are doing it for actions sake, or that they've not thought it through, and that there (which you and I probably know very little about) this is actually the most appropriate target.

Water is used for modern agriculture (mostly not ecological or even feeding most people) in huge quantities, for growing textiles, for biofuels, and in huge quantities for industry and power generation (for industry).

slighty sensibler?

I've always been a huge fan of ELF/ALF Mexico's visionary satire of deep ecology and and associated culture, this one is a real coup! The 'spark of happiness in a night of agony' line was a bit too much tho, you've got to make it slightly believable!

bravo!

ELF mexico must be the Spinal Tap of deep ecology


Why does this...

I assume that this is water for some building development project - to mix the cement etc. If this was to concrete over some open land then this action totally fits the rationale of the ELF.

It isn't water going to stop thirsty and starving children from dying as some reactionary morons here have implied.

Remember english isn't the first language of the authors, so something will always be lost in translation. And as for the poetic and flowery language, well, that's the latin way! I quite like it compared to some of the other dry and dusty reports, but each to their own.

humans are zombies ...

... why is this posted in UK newswire??? apart from it appearing to be the total rubbish .. IF people have a problem with development ( and they can be right to do so) these actions are almost always useless and irrelevent.

(Spiking old growth trees is one of the very few DAs that i can remember being practical though it equally caused a deep outrage in forest communities as forestry workers with few choices in life ended up getting badly hurt)
