Most expect to be captured on video when walking through downtown streets, which are often littered with traditional types of security cameras, such as the dome cameras, bullet cameras, or the newer remote controlled PTZ (Point, Tilt, Zoom) cameras. Previously, this was less expected in residential neighborhoods, which now have an increasing amount of home surveillance systems like Amazon’s Ring or Google Nest cameras. Police departments have seized on the increasing popularity of these devices and struck deals with their parent companies to directly incorporate them into existing surveillance networks and access data without the knowledge or permission of the camera owner. Some doorbell style cameras offer forms of audio surveillance as well: Amazon’s Ring cameras, easily spotted by their ominous glowing circle, can reportedly capture conversation-level audio from up to 25 feet away . Ring has partnered with more than a thousand police departments across the United States . Some police departments even ran pilot programs that enabled them to constantly live-stream from residents’ doorbell cameras.
No one owns the forest!
Overnight, a group of anarchists attacked the World Forestry Center museum and its conference building next door, destroying doors, windows, and the museum’s glass facade before dissapearing into the darkness. The Center is set to host the “Who Will Own the Forest?” conference September 26th-28th. The conference brings together “landowners, asset managers, investors, forest industry executives” and other vampires to plan and adapt their plundering of the forests for capitalist growth.
To truly defend the forests requires the destruction of capitalism altogether. Knowing there can be no dialogue with what must be destroyed, we turn to the attack. Continue reading “No one owns the forest!”
World Forestry Center Attacked Ahead Of Conference
In the early hours of Monday morning, anarchists attacked two buildings at the World Forestry Center in Portland OR, breaking dozens of windows and several doors before escaping into the night. This attack was carried out just before the World Forestry Center’s annual conference was due to begin. Starting on Tuesday evening, timber CEOs, green capitalists, major investors, landowners, and other forest killers will kick off a three day conference called “who will own the forest.”
We hope this action reminds anarchists that we can attack without a call to action, we are not limited to symbolic forms of attack, and it is easy and fun to strike.
Get together and destroy.

Incendiary device placed in Milwaukee for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners
Last week, to commemorate the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under the cover of darkness a small incendiary device was placed on the wheel arc of a Vertiv truck located on the edge of a sleepy office park in Milwaukie OR. The delay was lit before we disappeared back into the forest Continue reading “Incendiary device placed in Milwaukee for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners”

Reportback from “Rad Pride”
submitted anonymously
Rad Pride was a boring rainbow-market of capitalist small businesses and makers/sellers, where people walked/sat around in a park to the droning sound of “Pride is not about rainbow capitalism! Can the vendors in the back hear me?!” “Organizing! Building power! Building Momentum! X Politician is bad!” I spent most of the time eating food and laying around, and when I was bored with that, I decided to take flyers from the communists and throw them into their own burning grill. They were so very sad ;( and angry and unable to do anything, because there’s not very many of them and they’re cowards. I only stopped because they ran out of flyers and after they moved locations they didn’t seem to have food left or be watching their table anyway. I will continue to be hostile to communists, leftists, centrists, and honestly, whoever I please! I need more than three arrows!

Malik Muhammad: “I DO NOT want peace”
Malik recently shared some thoughts he had about the murder of Tyre Nichols and the public response.
I feel the response has been lackluster, like the response when the Kentucky pigs got off and Louisville didn’t do anything. It’s really saddening to me. I’ve been enraged being in here unable to do anything. I feel more helpless than ever. I don’t think the family calling for peace helped any. Know this: if anything like that happens to my family or myself, I DO NOT want peace. And if it was you or yours, I’m going to war for you as well. Nobody should need the videos to get active, that’s a shame, but I’m for whatever gets peoples fires alight.

Beginners Guide to Spray Paint Vandalism
tl;dr Rustoleum 2x is the best widely available spray paint. Wear nitrile gloves. Don’t get paint the day you paint, leave your phone at home, and be careful not to run out of room and make typos. You don’t need to rush.
When I first got into using spray paint, I was frustrated at how little information there was online about what paint is good, what isn’t, how spray paint tips work, what is the hardest to buff, and stuff like that. I did a bunch of digging on graffiti message boards and IRL experiments since I didn’t have an graffiti friends to ask. The purpose of this guide is to help other radicals not waste time with bad paint and give some tips to maximize their output with minimum time and money. I have no experience with graffiti or street art, just scrawling my messages on walls. Continue reading “ Beginners Guide to Spray Paint Vandalism”
