Anarchists Attack Surveillence Industry

May 27, 2011
Last night Inside Out Secu­ri­ty in New Bas­ford had it’s win­dows smashed.

We did this because they are respon­si­ble for mak­ing sur­veil­lance equip­ment that watch­es us every­where we go. They are specif­i­cal­ly respon­si­ble for a large num­ber of CCTV cam­eras in schools around Not­ting­ham. These cam­eras in schools fur­ther stig­ma­tise and ter­rorise the young, posi­tion­ing them as the dan­gers to each oth­er, train­ing them to become used to being watched, con­trol­ling their behav­iours and tak­ing away their free­dom. Instead of encour­ag­ing the young to love and live with wild pas­sion this soci­ety is caging them- forc­ing them into a lives not of their choos­ing.

We want to destroy these com­pa­nies that prof­it from the sick­ness of social sur­veil­lance on behalf of cap­i­tal­ism and the state.

We also did this in sol­i­dar­i­ty with those who resist the G8 and G20 con­fer­ences occur­ring in France this week. While the gov­ern­ment lead­ers from around the world dis­cuss ways to keep their pow­er, we will fight their sys­tems of oppres­sion that are all around us.

So their sur­veil­lance is there to pro­tect us? Fuck that. Their cam­eras exist to make us live in fear, to do as we are told, to make us feel alien­at­ed and scared of one anoth­er. The sur­veil­lance sys­tem is there to serve the inter­ests of the rich and pro­tect their prop­er­ty, pow­er and cap­i­tal.

We see some­thing that destroys our free­dom, our rela­tion­ships with each oth­er and we wish to get attack it with the means we have avail­able. So whilst this was a small act of defi­ance, quick­ly reme­died in part by their insur­ance, we car­ry out this act because of the very fact that we search for free­dom from all forms of social con­trol. Every time we see sim­i­lar acts of rebel­lion, from throw­ing rocks at cops to the burn­ing of a prison, a smile spreads across our face and recog­ni­tion that the attack against this soci­ety of dom­i­na­tion con­tin­ues. We will con­tin­ue our par­tic­i­pa­tion in this attack, because it is our pas­sion- set­tling for a life of mean­ing­less sub­or­di­na­tion is not an option for us, not when all around us are exam­ples of our friends, fam­i­lies and our­selves being con­tin­u­al­ly fucked over by ram­pant cap­i­tal­ism, and the col­lud­ing state.

We must look to each oth­er with love and sol­i­dar­i­ty.

We must destroy what keeps us apart with rage.

Against the prison soci­ety.

For total free­dom.
