"The failure of the Lebanese government to protect against Israeli attacks is leading Lebanon down two roads: either Hezbollah will re-enter the war in defense of the Lebanese people, or the government will prevail and content itself to sit back"
"The ceasefire doesn’t exist for South Lebanon, and it doesn’t exist for the people of the suburb. Where any of our people exist, Israel sees a target.”

Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center in Georgia


907040

Anonymous Submission:

At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of ​​sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.

This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.

Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.

CULTURES OF RESISTANCE (excerpts from "Full Spectrum Resistance" by Aric McBay)

Successful movements use diverse strategies and means of organizing. But movements that fight to win have something crucial in common: they all emerge from cultures of resistance. If a culture of defeat is like a sinkhole which devours optimism and action, a culture of resistance is fertile soil for defiance and successful campaigns. A culture of resistance gives a movement deep roots to nourish and sustain it.

What is a culture of resistance? Cultures of resistance across history have common elements:

I've been reading "Full Spectrum Resistance", and it's extremely good. Lots of vital history of struggle that people should know. Very practical.

I'll post some snippets from the first few chapters below.

Agreed.

And, given that incumbent powers will literally kill anyone who looks like they might achieve those goals, do you have suggestions for strategies?

Text from article:
I want to end with two of the most beautiful insurrectionary sentences I know on this beautiful spring day, sentences drawn from nature. One goes "They tried to bury us, but they didn't know we were seeds." Seeds germinate underground, and they send up their shoots in the springtime. The other sentence goes, "They can cut down the flowers but they can't stop the spring." Be seeds, be the spring. Be the insurrection. Be civil society. Be what happens.
