We were honored to take part in the People’s Climate March yesterday in Seattle. It’s powerful to see many people speaking out about global warming, when a few short years ago this issue was not on many people’s radar. Here is a photo - our sign is dead center, and reads “Sabotage the Machine”. Our #1 problem with the climate movement is the focus on green technology. Nearly every single speaker went on and on about the promise of new technology and “green energy”. ...

Seattle has a long history of social struggle and revolutionary politics that spans many decades. The indigenous people resisted European colonization in several wars in the 1800’s, including the Puget Sound War. Labor struggles have been a huge part of the history of this city, as have been immigration issues, especially in Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian communities. In the 1960’s and 70’s, the second strongest chapter of the Black Panther Party – after Oakland – was built here. ...

Tuira Kayapo is an indigenous Elder Mama Warrior who showed the world what happens when Women take charge of their Power. She walked into the 1989 Altamira Gathering in Brasil against the construction of Dams in the Xingu, in her war paint, naked and carrying a large machete.

We need our jungles for hunting and gathering. We do not need your dam.” Everyone stood in absolute awe at her audacity, especially the President of Petrobras who looked quite afraid…

Not only are Puget Sound’s resident killer whales continuing to decline in numbers, but their behavior is changing, too, according to scientists. The orcas seem to be splintering from their basic social groups and spending less time together. FRIDAY HARBOR — With two new deaths this year and no new calves since 2012, the population of endangered killer whales in the Puget Sound continues to decline. The number of whales in the J, K and L pods has dropped to 78, a level not seen since 1985, according to a census by the Center for Whale Research. Adding to the concerns, the whales appear to be “splintering” from their pods, which are their basic social groups. ...

The song “200 Species Every Day” by the filthy politicians is a fictional scene straight out of the Decisive Ecological Warfare strategy advocated by Deep Green Resistance: a pair of activists carrying out well-planned and strategic attacks on infrastructure, in this case combining arson of a power station with raids on corporate offices to trash their crucial data. As the filthy politicians ask in the preamble, “Why the fuck hasn’t this happened yet?” ...
