Olympia, WA: Train Tracks Sabotaged To Stop Fracking Equipment [April 21st, 2017]
Earth First Journal (Left Wing Rag Bragging About Pouring Concrete On Train Tracks ^ | April 21st, 2017 | Puget Sound Anarchists

Posted on 12/18/2017 11:34:05 AM PST by Enlightened1

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

I heard there were big whigs on this trip because it was the first trip for this line. They were making a big deal out of this run.

Yep that’s what I said in post #1.

So we know they were doing it as recent as April in Olympia, WA.

That’s suspect #1.

Good idea - there are some YouTube videos that should be preserved - like the one on the Obama/Rezko house deal in Chicago. ONE thing and apparently only ONE that Brian Ross got correct.

They want to force everyone to shiver in mud huts, sipping cold brewed chai tea, recharging their $1000 hipster iPhones with windmills.

You are mistaken. Those are the conditions they see themselves living in. You, me, on the other hand, will be crawling into their rubbish middens looking for something edible, should they get their way.

What makes a train fascist?

Was it hauling human cargo or war supplies?

Scum sucking Communist despots don’t get to hide behind the ‘anti-nazi’ banner.

They are militant communists and domestic terrorists. Nothing more.

I love the scene from “October Sky” when they pry up rails from an abandoned spur (they thought) to sell for scrap, and a train comes down the track...they go mental trying to put the rail track, only to see the train go by on a parallel track!

Excellent! They aren’t going to scrub Free Republic. They’ve tried, but Mr. Robinson has been successfully fighting that for years.

PS When (admittedly annoying) Freepathons come around, remember this day and how we could come here to get and preserve the truth. And then DONATE if you can!

Unfortunately, I suspect you’re right.

Note: The PS was not directed specifically toward you, but rather a general comment. The “Excellent” was directed specifically toward you for what you captured, posting it here, and your advice.
