Olympia, WA: Train Tracks Sabotage To Stop Fracking Equipment [ANTIFA = Domestic Terrorists]

It's Going Down ^ | 4/20/17 | Puget Sound Anarchists

[markomalley]

Early in the morning of April 20th we poured concrete on the train tracks that lead out of the Port of Olympia to block any trains from using the tracks. We took precautions to notify BNSF (the train company) – we called them and we used wires to send a signal that the tracks were blocked. We did this not to avoid damaging a train, nothing would bring bigger grins to our faces, but to avoid the risk of injuring railway workers.

This action was done to disrupt the movement of trains carrying proppants used in natural gas fracturing. These train tracks are part of a system of pipelines, fracking wells, mines, clearcuts, control centers, fiberoptics, dams, highways and factories that cover the planet and are physical manifestations of a process that is destroying the ecosystems, cultures, and inhabitants everywhere. Behind this network of infrastructure there are politicians, CEOs and bureaucrats who have private security, cops, prison guards, non-profit directors, PR consultants and the legacy of 500 years of colonization to back them up. We oppose all of these manifestations, infrastructural, personal and ideological. We blocked the train tracks because we want to blockade the entire web of domination that is slowly killing us.

We were inspired to take this action by acts of resistance taking place across turtle island and the world, particularly the fierce indigenous resistance of water protectors against the Dakota Access Pipe Line, the encampment blocking a train full of fracking material on these same tracks in Olympia this past November, and the clandestine attacks against pipelines in Florida, South Dakota and Iowa.

We also were emboldened by the spirit of all those who have risen against the white supremacist police in Furguson, Baltimore, Oakland and elsewhere, as well as by the riotous opposition that has characterized the first few months of Donald Trump’s reign.

Resistance to this many-tendriled death machine has and must take many forms. Some have set their goals narrow and try just to stop the port from shipping proppants. We are aiming beyond, for a liberation that destroys all vestiges of oppression and colonization leaving us free to experiment with ways of living in cooperation on our own terms. We want to unlearn the legacies of domination that we have inherited. We need a diverse and vibrant resistance composed of more forms of destruction, mutual aid and solidarity than we can yet imagine.

This action and actions like it are quite easy to do yourself. This only took a few hours and a little bit of planning. The hardest part was calming our nerves. Particularly easy was placing wire on the tracks to send a signal to the train company that the tracks were blocked. This action can and has been easily repeated wherever train tracks are. For more info on how to do this check out this explanatory video.

Concrete on the tracks is just a start

“First-hand confession of responsibility for domestic terrorism. This group needs to be declared a terrorist organization and taken down.”

I agree.

[castlebrew]

These a$$wagons wouldn’t last three days without the “maninfestations” of a process that brings all their crap to them and allows the amount of free time to pull this kind of stunt in lieu of foraging for their next meal.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

The same mentality as those who drove spikes into trees to prevent them being logged. One tree in the sawmill had a spike in it and hit the sawblade shattering it and injuring several workers.
Now trees are checked with metal detectors, and those still standing MUST be cut down to prevent injury to persons in the future.
Spiking did not save a tree.

These scumbags have to be taken down hard. They have waaaay beyond lawful protest in so many parts of the country.

[blueplum]

concreting train tracks, eh? sounds like antifa just became ISIS.

[sport]

I agree that they should be, but instead, the Government protects them. The question that needs answering is why.

[EliRoom8]

Who are their leaders? Where do they meet? Intelligence needed. Vigilante waterboarding to get names might be an idea.

[Jhadur]

Send your best security to patrol the tracks & tell them, “I don’t expect you to find anything. I don’t want to know what you find...and I sure as hell don’t want to read about it in the papers.”

” Who ARE these sociopaths?”

I was going to celebrate “Earth Day” by turning on all my lights. I think after reading this I’ll include some more time at the gun range.

I went to the link about some guy shot by police while trying to sabotage some tracks. It had some goofy names that sounded English, but then said “Citrus County” - so maybe Florida? The crap they spew is probably similar to what the muslims and the KKK and the black lives matter folks spew to try to get losers to join their cause and gives them the opportunity to feel important.

[Pelham]

Sabotaging train tracks used to be treated as very serious crime. Could be that it still is.

[Mr. Blond]

Fed up. We’re trying to have a civilization here. These Allendes need to get Pinochet’d.

[RedWulf]

Sounds like some communists need a helicopter ride over the Pacific.

[Joe Bfstplk]

Shoot on sight.

[Steve Van Doorn]

terrorism requires terror. They're disruptive not terrorist.

Both a crime. But shouldn't be an equal crime.

[markomalley]

terrorism requires terror. They're disruptive not terrorist.

According to 6 U.S. Code § 101

(16) The term “terrorism” means any activity that—

(A) involves an act that—

(i) is dangerous to human life or potentially destructive of critical infrastructure or key resources; and
(ii) is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State or other subdivision of the United States; and

(B) appears to be intended—

(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping.

Sounds like this act pretty much fits the definition precisely...

Thanks to TADSLOS and Duncan for the heads up.

In going from violent street protests to sabotage the Left are traveling the well trod road to open Civil War that is the object of our attention on this ping list.

CWII PING!

FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.
The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII".
Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

They’re known by the rusty green Subaru wagons sporting Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers.

[mad_as_he$$]

We play a on the road game here. Spot the Subaru on the road without a bumper sticker. I have two in five years, both were new.
