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

[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

This is the article from George Soros funded ANTIFA bragging about pouring concrete on the train tracks from last April.

Now we all know who did it.

[Enlightened1]

ANTIFA is pulling down the Article now.

It’s trying to spread on Twitter.

Noticed it happened in a populated area where ANTIFA exists and not in the middle of no where.

[Red Badger]

Why can’t the FBI/BATF, CIA, NSA an dthe Secret Service find these dumb-ass terrorists?

Because they don’t want to...............

[Olog-hai]

Time for these creeps to see the inside of GTMO.

[Rurudyne]

Treat them as the criminalsthey are.

“Noticed it happened in a populated area where ANTIFA exists and not in the middle of no where.”

My first thought as well.

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

EVERYONE PLEASE COPY AND SAVE! They’ll try to pull this!

[RoadieFan]

no......the business end of our AR’s.....

[Red Badger]

GONE!..............................

[Enlightened1]

Post 7 is the Article I captured before ANTIFA pulled it.

[Red Badger]

Too late, it’s GONE........................

[TomServo]

Reminds me of a humorous story of my Uncle flipping a train track switch when he was a small boy - during WWII.

My grandparents were not too happy when the FBI showed up on their front doorstep.

[marktwain]

The left has been telling us that domestic terrorists are the real threat...

Maybe they are correct. They just don’t lable leftist domestic terrorists as terrorists...

[Enlightened1]

Check out the 7th post. I captured the full article before they removed it.

[piytar]

It’s been taken down. Hope someone snagged a copy.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Why isn't the FBI and Homeland Security all over this like flies on sh**? Terrorism, plain and simple.

As a side note, these commies are against coal, OK. How 'bout clean burning emissions free natural gas? Can't have that either. They want to force everyone to shiver in mud huts, sipping cold brewed chai tea, recharging their $1000 hipster iPhones with windmills.
 

[Red Badger]

Excellent!.................

[oldenuff35]

Find them and chain them to the tracks. End of problem.

[piytar]

Find those responsible and try them for premeditated murder. Then execute them.
