On Friday, October 31, 2008, the North American Earth Liberation Front Press Office (NAELFPO) re-opened...
Originally founded in the year 2000, the NAELFPO exists to report on the
covert actions taken by the Earth Liberation Front and other groups
and individuals in defense of the environment.
The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is an international, underground
movement consisting of autonomous groups of people who carry out
direct action in defense of the planet. From 1996 through the current
day, the ELF has committed dozens of actions throughout the United
States, Europe and Canada against developers, logging companies,
genetic engineering research and companies, ski resorts, SUV
dealerships and more. The damages inflicted to these companies and
government agencies have totaled well over $150 million. Since the
year 2000, the FBI has categorized the Animal Liberation Front (ALF)
and ELF as number one domestic terrorist threats in the United States.
In memory of Barry Horne…
Barry Horne was an animal
liberation activist who died in a
UK prison hospital on November
5 2001. He had been
sentenced to 18 years in prison
for various acts of sabotage
and arson attacks, mainly
against companies involved in
vivisection. In prison he went on
hunger strike several times in
protest against government
support for the vivisection
industry, and their broken pre-
election promises about animal
experiments. The third of these
hunger strikes lasted 68 days,
and Barry never fully
recovered.
His actions generated
worldwide publicity, and
initiated a huge upsurge in
animal liberation activity, the
effects of which are still being
felt even today.
BARCLAYS GLUED SHUT To increase the pressure against
Huntingdon Life Sciences and the
New York Stock Exchange, ALF
volunteers glued shut a Barclays
Bank in the west [UK]. Dump HLS
and the NYSE to stop the
sabotage.
For Barry Horne
BOAR LIBERATED
On Nov. 5, 2001 Barry Horne gave
his life for animal liberation. Seven
years later we, a group of
activists, continue his fight
through direct action. In the early
hours of November 5, 2008 with
bolt cutters we broke the padlock
of the estate of a society of
hunters in the village of Vizcaya.
They had a boar caged inside
waiting to be killed. We opened
the gate and released him.
Each year in Euskadi, [Spain]
hunters kill tens of thousands of
animals. We have saved one. It
may sound insignificant, but he
has found freedom.
Anyone can carry out sabotage
and liberations. Do not look for a
leader to propose it to you, just
do it! F.L.A.
8 HENS RESCUED
Prepared and determined
activists of the Frente de
Liberación Animal – Comando
Verde Negro (FLA-CVN) took to
the streets November 5 to
remember the struggle and fight
of our compañero Barry Horne.
We had been thinking about
visiting another target when
suddenly a truck that was
transporting chickens for
slaughter was ahead of us. Inside
a building the killers were
crowding animals into small boxes
to later bring them to a certain
death; in a spontaneous action,
in anger, not caring whether we
were discovered, we quickly
snatched from the truck 8 hens
and carried them to freedom.
With this liberation and other acts
of sabotage throughout this year
of direct action in Mexico, we
showed the exploiters that the
struggle of our fellow fighter Barry
has not ceased and that on the
contrary it is increasing.
Barry Horne, an inspiration for the
ALF and other groups in Mexico
and throughout the world.
FLA-CVN
POULTRY COMPANY…
On November 6 in one of the
many establishments of the
murderous company Bachoco,
we, activists from the Frente de
Liberación Animal, had thrown a
stink bomb, demonstrating that
the subjugation, the
enslavement, the torture and the
murder stinks of just one thing,
death.
Barry Horne continues on with us!

BURGER KING ARSON
NOVEMBER 6: INCENDIARY
ATTACK AGAINST A FAST FOOD
ESTABLISHMENT IN MEXICO CITY
(D.F.)
In the evening of Thursday,
November 6 we painted various
slogans referring to animal
liberation on the walls and
windows of a Burger King;
immediately after, a couple of
molotov cocktails were launched
at strategic points in this place of
capitalism and exploitation.
We claim this action as an act of
solidarity with the FRENTE DE
LIBERACION ANIMAL DE MEXICO
for its strong activity and
confrontation.
But it was also in memory of an
active warrior for freedom: BARRY
HORNE...
This week is already a week of
action in his memory.
Fighters like Barry are
remembered as they would like to
be remembered:
Bringing war without mercy to the
exploiters and capitalists.
Against the state and capital ....
social war!
For freedom ... Until they fall!

2008
FALSE BOMBS IN MEXICO
In a first joint action: an informal
coordination of groups and
individuals for action and for
animal and earth liberation,
between 4 and 5 in the morning
of Friday, November 7, 10
'Bonanno devices' (these are:
false bombs, molotov's,
incendiary devices... that in this
case were 10 false bombs) were
placed at the seats of capitalism
and exploitation.
Those that received this warning
were: Burger King's, McDonald's
and K.F.C..
In addition to being a sabotage
against the exploitation of flora
and fauna, the second purpose
of this action was to create
'nervousness and paranoia in the
institutions of the repressive state',
and to break the imposed social
order, since those who defend
capitalism also defend animal
exploitation.
In this decentralized action the
'Bonanno devices' were
distributed in different areas of
the State of Mexico and Mexico
City.
The informal coordination of
groups and individuals for action
and for animal and earth
liberation is an informal
organization of cells and
anonymous individuals that
actively struggle to abolish
exploitation and capitalism.
The Frente de Liberacion Animal,
part of this action, is already
being seen as a threat, because
in all the newspapers of Mexico
the news was about an 'animal
extremist group;' we know that
stronger battles will come and we
are ready to fight them.
Those of us who shape this
organization claim ourselves:
young autonomous, subversive
and rebellious, maintaining a
permanent conflict against
capitalism, exploitation and the
state. Not one step back ...
against exploitation ... direct
action and confrontation!
This action is claimed by:
The informal coordination of
groups and individuals for action
and for animal and earth
liberation:

10 TURKEYS LIBERATED
Netherlands: In the beginning of
november the Animal Liberation
Front rescued 10 turkeys from the
meat industry. These beautiful
animals were being bred to end
up as a christmas meal.
We saved 10 lives. These animals
will never be hurt. These animals
will get all the respect, love and
warmth they deserve.
We dedicate this action to Barry
Horne.
Untill the last cage is empty!
RABBIT FARM RAIDED
On the eve of Barry Horne's
death, a group of volunteers
accessed a rabbit 'meat' farm in
Berkshire, U.K. This farm used to
harbour hundreds of rabbits in the
back of converted box lorries, but
have recently upgraded their
bunny butchering enterprise to
four permanent and highly
intensive units. Semi-built and set
to be filled with hundreds of
rabbits, we entered the site and
bypassed top security measures..
the key was left in the door!
One unit was so full of rubble and
electricity cables we almost didn't
expect to find any animals in such
conditions. Further inspection
found rows of cages, many with
rabbits inside. All living on wire,
many rabbits were blind, had ears
missing and were rotting alive
inside this windowless hell.
Even within a legal system that
legitimises animal abuse, this sicko
has still managed to torture
animals beyond any legal
requirements. The unit was in total
disrepair, flooded with a mix of
water and excrement, with open
elecrticity wires and strewn with
litter. None of the units had
ventilation or air conditioning
systems, despite being newly built.
This farm was an excellent
example of what 'animal welfare'
means for animals: fuck all.
Needless to say we decided to
make some legal corrections.
After taking several rabbits to
safety, who are now recovering in
loving homes, we turned our
attention to stopping this 'man'
filling any more cages with
defenceless animals. We cut
every empty cage into pieces.
Fuse boxes and machinery were
glued and filled with expanding
foam. Messages were left on the
outer walls and doors before we
vanished back into the darkness
with our newly acquired friends.
This action was carried out in the
memory of Barry, who continues
to be an inspiration to us all
despite his death at the hands of
the british government.

HUNT SABBING NEWS MOOR SABOTAGE AGAIN
A recent visit to the White Crag
Plantation, found just next to Ilkley
Moor, led to fencing of a
pheasant pen being cut and
brought down. This fencing has
been recycled following a similar
incident, we guess that if you
have several pieces of fencing all
with large holes, and you use
them to cover each other, it
makes one solid piece of fence.
However, after our last visit this is
no more. Two water butts were
smashed up and pheasant
feeders tipped over and their
springs removed. Two bags of
pheasant feed were also
emptied. After this some nearby
grouse butts were toppled.
It is clear that the concern of
Councillor Anne Hawksworth over
grouse population stretches only
so far as to her position in the
shooting fraternity. She supports
the small bunch of shooting
extremists led by Edward Bromet
to pleasure themselves over the
killing of the artificially managed
grouse, while persecuting other
animals that rightfully belong to
the moor; and we declare this
attitude as disgraceful.
We call for Ilkley Moor to be a
haven for wildlife and not a killing
zone, demarcated by a few
fanatics who wish to boast about
their 'pursuits'
The population of grouse across
Rombalds moor have been
decimated, and any serious
walker would testify to that fact,
Stop the Ilkley Shoot.

“STOP THE SHOOT”
Up on the Keighley road, running
up near to Ilkley moor, a can of
spray paint was emptied onto the
road.
The slogan read:

NEW GROUP ACTIVE
8th November 2008
Sabs from Gloucestershire were
out on Saturday to attempt to
stop a shoot at Brimpsfield Park in
the beautiful Cotswold
countryside. The first shoot of the
day saw four sabs stop 5 of
around 15 of the shooters who
then broke guns and counted
their losses. This meant that any
birds flying to the left in the valley
were able to get away this time.
Unfortunately the police were
called just as the second shoot
started and an Inspector and
Sergeant of Gloucestershires cops
made threats of arrest using the
aggravated trespass card and
sections of the Criminal Justice
Act to ban us from the area. They
didn’t take any details from us
which so we have decided we
will be back very soon.
15th Novemeber 2008
The Cotswold countryside is a hive
of shooting activity with
sometimes dozens of shoots
taking place in a radius of a
couple of miles. We headed to
Syde park this weekend to check
an area of woodland that had
been pegged out for shooters.
Sure enough we heard gunshots
although not in the area we
expected. We spotted a beater
five fields across using our
binoculars and ran down into the
valley ahead of the driven area.
Sure enough a line of shooters
stood in a small managed
clearing at the bottom of the
valley. We shouted break guns
and most of them did bar two
shooters who almost shot a flag
that one of us was using to make
ourselves visible. As no private
property signs were displayed
and no red “danger” flag was
visible we assumed it was safe to
merrily walk in front of these
guys... apparently not… When we
were reluctant to leave what we
thought was a public area Terry
became quite angry and shouted
and swore at us telling us to “GET
OFF MY LAND”… With this the
shoot called lunch early and the
morning shoot was called off!

MINK RELEASED ACROSS THE GLOBE
3000 FREED IN CANADA
According to media reports, early
on October 16 approximately
3000 mink were released from La
Visonnière Labonté de Thetford
Mines, the largest fur farm in
Quebec.
Farm director Pierre Labonté told
a local newspaper, "Not only did
they open the cages and release
mink, but they also destroyed
their pedigree cards, which is the
trademark of anti-fur militants."
(The cards contain irreplacable
information about an individual
animal's life history.) With the loss
of genetic information, Mr.
Labonté said the escaped mink
are no longer useful for breeding.
"We have insurance that protects
us against theft, but not against
this type of crime," he addded
and estimated losses at $200,000.
THOUSANDS FREED - ITALY
November 2, 2008 – Rome: Tonino
Sbardella has been ruining the
lives of thousands of mink for
years inside the 15 sheds of his
concentration camp on Mink
Road in San Cesareo (Roma).
Inside the farm there were a lot of
old cages that have been
replaced by new cages, a few
centimetres bigger... centimetres
we do not care about... We do
not want to see any living being
inside bigger cages.
Tonight thousands of mink had
the opportunity to feel real
freedom, made of soft ground
and running water to dive in.
Someone will say that many of
the mink will end up under the
tyres of cars, but we ask you: is
there so much difference from a
life in a cage waiting for a death
sentence that has already been
decided? We know the answer
and tonight we acted, tearing
down fences and opening all the
cages. This action, for those
sharing our ideas, is an invitation
to take part in the struggle, acting
in this direction and going
beyond your fears.
As it has been written on the walls
of the farm:
'Freedom cannot be asked for, it
can only be taken!'
This farm has been raided at least
three times before, in 07, 05 & 98.
2000 FREED IN ITALY
According to a newspaper in
northern Italy, someone entered a
fur farm in Via Mazzarana
(Mercadello di Novi, Modena)
early in the morning of November
5 and opened the cages of
around 2,000 mink. Some of the
mink were recaptured but many
are still free in the fields
surrounding the farm. The farm
was subject to a similar raid seven
years ago.
6000 FREED IN FINLAND
We went to a fur farm in
Lappajärvi in the night between
17-18.11. We dyed all the 600
foxes of the farm with non-toxic
henna, took all the breeding
cards and opened all the cages.
We liberated the foxes to mess
the breeding records, so the
farmer won't know which animal
was in which cage. This together
with removing the breeding cards
guarantees the fact that years of
breeding work and information
has gone to waste.
We also sabotaged some farm
machinery, for example the
device that was used to
electrocute foxes to death. We
also left a message to the farmer
on a building: Welcome to work!
EVR
Animals in the farm were in really
bad shape. Many of them had
bad eye-infections and disformed
legs. We also saw a fox in a cage
that had been dead for long
time. Some of them had gingivitis.
Some of the cages were torn and
broken so that animals could hurt
themselves. Some of the foxes
were really fat.
Our message to the fur farmers is
this: We will never leave you
alone. EVR
1000 FREED IN GREECE
The ALF has claimed responsibility
for the liberation of 1000 mink at a
fur farm in the town of Siatista.
(The area of northern Greece,
including the town of Siatista, is a
major manufacturing center for
the fur industry in Europe.)
INSURRECTION IN MEXICO ECO-ANARCHIST ACTION
During the week of Tuesday the
25th to Friday the 28th of
November, in solidarity with
anarchist prisoners in France
accused of sabotaging high-
speed train lines:
“Half a dozen Molotov cocktails
were thrown at installations of the
tren férreo (metro rail) in Mexico
City, causing damage to roads,
electricity poles and walls of
facilities. No to metro line 12!
Incendiary sabotage against a
'control box of telephone lines,'
property of Telmex; the box
exploded and hundreds of lines
were left unusable, 7 public
telephones also owned by Telmex
were sabotaged leaving them
unusable, 1 public phone burned.
In the early hours of the last day,
a 'Banamex' bank was
sabotaged, leaving the ATM
unusable, thanks to the
abolitionist fire of a Molotov.”
Actions were claimed as: Eco-
anarchist cell for direct attack.
LEATHER FAIR DESTROYED
Excerpts from the Militias for the
Rights of Animals communiqué:
“…We placed an incendiary
device in one of the tents; after
20 minutes the fire burned most of
this deviant trade. Shops lined
with the skin of horses, cows,
snakes. etc., clothes of wool
snatched from lambs, jackets
made of the skin of murdered
pigs and other products were
consumed by our anti-speciesist
hate… We are not going to
respect any authority dressed in
blue (PAN), tricolor (PRI), yellow
(PRD), red (communist parties),
much less black (traditional
anarchist authorities), nor any
'revolutionary' leader… For
Animal, Human and Earth
liberation, radical insurrection!…”
FIRE AT RODEO
Excerpts from the Frente de
Liberación Animal - Passion and
Rage communiqué:
“…With anger in the gut and
molotovs in their hands, activists
from the Frente de Liberación
Animal-Passion and Rage, took to
the streets of Mexico City to
demonstrate their rejection of this
speciesist society… That's why we
set a target: a rodeo, where
people have fun at the expense
of the suffering of an animal
forced to do things that break
their natural and wild cycle. But
before we arrived at our target,
along the way we passed various
speciesist businesses; of course
we could not hold ourselves back
and we had to leave a message
of hatred for them… Our main
objective, the rodeo where liters
of gasoline were poured and lit
with the rage of some molotovs;
while the fire was burning, our
desires to see an end to animal
exploitation were burning, but
that will not just happen… We will
continue helping businesses that
profit at the expense of animal
suffering close...”
POUND VAN TORCHED
“A municipal dog pound in
Mexico State received a visit from
the Frente de Liberación Animal –
Comando Verde Negro (FLA-
CVN) at night when we cut a
hole in one of the gates that
surround this center of torture and
endless murder of hundreds of
dogs each year… To end the
'night of dogs' we put an
incendiary device in one of the
vans in the dog pound, so that it is
now unusable…”
BULLRING DAMAGED
“On December 16 we climbed
the walls of a bullring that is under
reconstruction, in Mexico State,
and we found ourselves inside, in
that place where dozens of
defenseless bulls are murdered
and where they had been
planning to go back to torturing…
Incendiary devices were placed
at strategic points in the bullring…
We will not tolerate the torture of
any animal and we will stop it with
sabotage and animal liberation…

LETTER FROM SEAN KIRTLEY
At 7:00am on May 9th 2006 police
raided nine homes across the
Midlands and subsequently
arrested twelve activists over a 48
hour period. The door on my
house had been so violently
battered that there was only two
shards of wood hanging of the
remaining hinges. Police arrested
me and spent nine hours
searching the premises while my
partner remained in the house,
not pleasant at all. A
megaphone, banners, thousands
of leaflets, mobile phones,
computer, digital camera,
clothes, letters, discs were all
seized as evidence of my
involvement in the campaign
against Sequani animal testing
lab in Herefordshire. The others
that were raided all had similar
property seized.
After being charged and bailed
for almost two years the case
went to court in January 08 at
Birmingham crown court. Seven
of us were charged with
'conspiracy to interfere with an
animal research organisation' and
put on trail.
The bulk of the evidence against
me related to the stop Sequani
animal testing website, which I
ran and my use of PGP email
encryption and other privacy
tools that were on my PC. It was
suggested that I organised demos
outside Sequani and companies
that did business with Sequani
although the SSAT website had a
policy of not advertising demos! It
was then suggested because of
the amount of phone calls
between myself and other
defendants (phone logs
submitted by the relevant
telephone providers) that I must
TIME TO SHOW THE ANIMAL ABUSING MONEYMEN THAT TRADING IN BLOOD MONEY IS BAD BUSINESS....
This is a call for action in the heart of London and at the heart of
animal abuse. Without the trading of HLS' stocks and shares, and
without shareholders, HLS would cease to exist.
HLS' share price has dropped by over 75% in the past month (see
graph below), and now is the time to react. Apart from shocking
animal cruelty, scientific falsification and employed sex offenders, the
New York Stock Exchange now have an extra reason to kick HLS off
the stock exchange. HLS are still seriously in debt - having only paid off
a fraction of their debt interest and not the debt itself - and are
financially unstable. We can reveal this is partly due to having recently
lost two major customers.
Militant antispeciesists will be meeting at the Bank of England, 12noon.
As we pass several important financial corporations that are directly
responsible for keeping HLS open, the march will stop for 5 – 10 minutes
per target - so don’t forget to mask up for direct action!

also have been 'organising' over
the telephone. Even though the
defendants were friends and
friends call each other to chat
and socialise. Even if I had been
organising demos all were
peaceful affairs anyway usually
involving a mega phone or two
and plenty of placards.
After an 18 week trial where the
jury were bussed in from a secret
location, the press and other
reporters were banned from
covering the case, police were
'on guard' outside the courtroom,
where supporters were banned
from wearing any animal welfare
logos on clothing, the merest
mention of experiments on
animals at Sequani was
outlawed. I was the only one to
be found guilty of conspiracy
after the jury had been out for
many days deliberating. My
appeal against sentence and
conviction was launched on June
20th this year and has yet to be
heard.
I was remanded to Winson Green
prison in Birmingham on May 14th
and sentenced at Coventry
crown court on May 30th 08.
The judge called me 'a sinister
criminal' who ' has done nothing
for my cause' sentenced me to
four and a half years in prison and
imposed a five year supper ASBO
on my release in August 2010
banning me from Herefordshire
and from contacting Sequani for
the duration. The unlawful action
that contravened section 145
SOCPA mentioned during the trial
were:
· Lengthy and informative faxes
had been sent to suppliers of
Sequani during demos, there was
no evidence to suggest that I or
any other defendants had sent
these faxes.
· Aggravated trespass had taken
place at demos by defendants
(including myself) standing in the
car parks of suppliers even
though there were police present,
also entering buildings but leaving
when asked to.
· Sequani workers, and workers of
companies that supply Sequani
had been 'upset' by the demos
also a few neighbours in the
vicinity of the lab had been
'upset' by the demos.
During prosecution evidence
being given there was no
suggestion that any 'home
demos' or direct action' had
been at Sequani or its workers.
This was a campaign that had
'upset' those that are licensed by
the home office to experiment on
innocent, defenceless animals
and because of that 'upset' I sit
here in my cell writing this short
recall of how I ended up here.
I've always fought for the
oppressed whether human or non
human, either by encouraging
mutual aid or exposing the truth
regarding the way we treat other
sentient beings for our own selfish
ends.
The support and outrage, inside
and outside, continues to be
brilliant, from supporters, family
and friends and continues to get
me through this time of repression.
'If you aren't being effective at
changing the world for the better,
they aren't interested, if you are,
be careful. The Future of the
world is in your hands.'

WHALERS ON THE RUN
Anti-whaling activists on

Conservation Society ship
Steve Irwin have intercepted
the Japanese whaling fleet
on Friday 19 December. The
encounter took place in
dense fog, ice conditions and
winds picking up to 50 knots
approaching blizzard
conditions.
Sea Shepherd launched an
inflatable boat to launch a
rotten butter bomb attack on
the Yushin Maru No 2, but the
inflatable was recalled due to
weather conditions. The
Yushin Maru No 2 then
headed north with the Steve
Irwin staying in pursuit of the
rest of the Japanese whaling
fleet. The whaling fleet has for
the moment stopped whaling
activities and is running with
Sea Shepherd in pursuit.

SALMON FREED IN SWEDEN
Excerpts from the Swedish Animal
Liberation Front communiqué:
“On the night of 21 November
more than 100,000 salmon were
liberated from two fish farms in
northen Sweden. These two fish
farms are a part of the huge
Swedish fish farming industry that
kills over 5 billion fish every year. In
a fish farm, tens of thousands of
fish live cramped in net-cages
without any chance to engage in
their natural behaviors, like
traveling long distances… At
Näske Lax AB more than 100,000
salmon were liberated by cutting
all the net-cages that were
holding the fish. A boat motor
was also destroyed and some
tires slashed. A spray can was
emptied painting messages from
the DBF.
The farm is not insured and after
economic losses of millions of
Swedish Kroner, the farmer
doesn't think he will be able to
open up the business again.
The second farm visited the same
night was Ålands fiskförädlings, a
big floating facility hundreds of
meters out in the sea. After rowing
out to the facility we cut as many
net-cages as possible before
dawn, releasing lots of fish.
Direct action saves lives!
Both by saving individual animals
and also by economic sabotage
we make it harder and less
profitable to continue to torture
and kill animals...”
ANIMALS FREED IN PERU
Excerpts from the Individuals for
Animal Liberation on the rescue
of birds and jungle cats:
“On Friday, November 21 of this
year, in the early morning hours,
we carried out a direct action
and rescue for Animal Liberation
in the Parque Zoológico… We
want to emphasize as well that
liberation through direct action is
something we can all be a part
of, we do not need special
training nor to be part of any
organization, just to act with a
couple of tools and an attitude
open to taking risks in pursuit of
the elimination of speciesism and
Animal, Human and Earth
exploitation, being always clear
that race, sex, color, level of
intelligence, language, sexual
orientation, or in this case species,
are not indicators of superiority or
inferiority, but individual
characteristics. Individuals are
deserving of respect on the basis
of their own desires and interests,
advancing our ethics to a true
unfolding of solidarity and
egalitarianism… Until all are
free…”
BULLRING ARSON IN SPAIN
On the night between
Wednesday and Thursday we put
incendiary devices in the
Cascante (Navarra) bullring. They
worked and they were effective.
Bullfighting is a symbol of animal
exploitation in which bulls are
tortured and killed because there
are people who find it fun. But we
are against all forms of animal
exploitation, and we believe in
veganism as a response to such
exploitation and as a way of life.
We want to dedicate the action
to the bulls and horses who have
been tortured, humiliated and
murdered in this arena that we
have burned.

HENS LIBERATED IN CZECH
Five young hens were liberated
from battery cages on the 6th of
November and given a new
home full of sun and fresh air.
They can spend the rest of their
lives in this better, beautiful home
and be free. This action is
dedicated to czech activist and
open rescuer Michal Kolesar.

FIRE FOR CHICKENS - ITALY
Excerpts: “Incendiary devices
have been left near cars (one of
them a Porsche) owned by
'Japan Chick Sexing', a company
specialized in sexing chicks. This is
the first ring of a chain of
exploitation linking cages,
imprisonment, intensive farms,
slaughterhouses… This was a night
for the chicks…

PAYBACK IN GERMANY
Excerpts from the ARM [Animal
Rights Militia] communiqué:
“On a night in December 7
Novartis executives and lab
workers got a visit at home. The
head office of Novartis is located
in Basel, Switzerland and that's
where these cowards work. These
scumbags have been trying to
hide by living just across the
border of Switzerland in Germany.
We will track down every single of
one of you and make sure you will
all get the treatment you
deserve…We started our
payback time at the house of
Martin Morawietz, an executive at
Novartis… Next was Matthias
Staufenbiel… Juergen Brokatzky-
Geiger, executive at Novartis…
Barbara Lücker was next… The
next house of Volker Brinkmann
was quite funny… These 2
murderers of Novartis, Beate
Sachers and George Martiny-
Baron are neighbors… To finish
the night we placed petrol
bombs under two cars belonging
to Sofia Baron, the wife of George
Martiny-Baron who works at
Novartis…”

UPRISING IN GREECE
From December 6, when police
murdered 15-year-old Alexandros
Grigoropoulos in downtown
Athens, to the time of this writing,
Greece has seen unprecedented
rioting. Anarchists and students,
supported and often joined by
significant swaths of the
population, have clashed with
police, destroyed corporate and
government property, and
occupied government buildings,
trade union offices, and media
outlets, not to mention the usual
universities. By December 12,
police had used over 4600
capsules of tear gas, and were
seeking more from Israel and
Germany—an ominous pair of
nations, when it comes to
repression.
