Breaking! Autonomous activists have shut down the roads entering Webb Dock, stopping workers and trucks from entering the shipping terminals for Toll Group and Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT).
This action targets Toll Group, a logistics company actively facilitating the global transfer of arms, including for display at Disrupt Land Forces, and VICT, a terminal that contracts with "israeli" national shipping carrier ZIM and its partners.
This is a purposeful economic disruption to further anti-zionist and anti-imperialist causes. It aims to economically disrupt the flow of capital to the zionist economy and the global logistics of arms supply.
Activists reaffirm their commitment to material solidarity with all Indigenous peoples who face and resist the forces of imperialism, colonisation and capitalism, from the occupation on this continent to the occupation in Palestine.
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE

The @disruptlandforces picket in Naarm/Melbourne today was met with massive police repression.
Victoria Police used pepper spray, rubber bullets, flashbangs, tear spray and OC pellets against anti-war and pro-palestine protesters to push them away from the convention centre.

Back in July, an NYC group called the Transit Liberation Front smashed 10 subway fare machines, causing $40k damages to the police/surveillance state. Just a few days ago, NYPD committed a mass shooting on the MTA, provoking mass anger, fare resistance, and anti-police mobilizations in response. Look back at the Transit Liberation Front communiquΓ© here...
"We may not yet face the same violence in the metropole as we see at the margins, but, as the resistance grows and the intifada is globalized, they are certainly getting ready in case we get too rowdy, too ungovernable. We are the frogs in the slowly heating pot.
Disabling these machines is just one small act of resistance, one that requires no more than a good, heavy hammer (16 oz. or more, no wooden handles), some safety equipment (goggles and protective gloves), and a solid plan for concealing your identity.
Bring a friend to watch your back and go to town. Smash an OMNY, cover a camera, break one of their stupid video ads. Join the Transit Liberation Front today!"

Wow the wait for episode two of the national sprinters network docklands edition was really worth it. This one is more pathetic than the last. Literally can't imagine how embarrassing it must be to be these losers, would die of shame tbh.
Solidarity to all comrades who stood up against this fascist filth. No laws, no cops, no institutional power stops these flogs. A robust community network of anti racist legends keeps us safe.
Nazis die alone.

THIS COMES AS NO SHOCK TO THOSE WHO'VE BEEN TARGETED, HARASSED AND REPRESSED BY THE STATE.
While Arrest rates are the HIGHEST globally, environmental protestors have not disappeared or been murdered like is prevalent in Brazil, the Philippines, India and Peru.
The system here will do what it can get AWAY with; slowly dismantling any protection or freedom to protest arresting and repressing wherever possible.
VICTORIA PLANS TO BAN THE USE OF GLUE, ROPES, LOCKS, CHAINS AND FACE MASKS. THE STATE IS ALSO BANNING THE FLYING OF FLAGS FROM ORGANISATIONS THEY CONSIDER AS "TERRORISTS", WHICH WE KNOW CAN RANGE FROM DIRECT ACTION TO ACTS OF EXTREME VIOLENCE.
This follows a swathe of ANTI protest laws implemented in the last few years, particularly in SA. NSW and QLD. In the last two DECAEDS. 49 laws affecting protest have been introduced in Australia: as detailed in the 'Protest in Peril' report.
The STATE continues to show how FAR They're willing to go to LOCK Up and silence Activists taking ACTION against the System.
THE MORE POWER WE TAKE FROM THEM, THE MORE POWER THEY TRY TO TAKE FROM US.
It's Important WE take care of each other. the more we RESIST the more they will try isolate and Remove us from our communities.
Together we have Power in our Networks. we must never Conform to their System and need to Collectively take action Against the perpetrators of Ecocide and all States.
