August 2, 2009: ELF Sabotages Telmex Cable Line in SW Mexico City

August 2, 2009: ELF Sab­o­tages Telmex Cable Line in SW Mex­i­co City

SABOTAGE OF EARTH-DESTROYING COMPANY, MEXICO

Once again, the earth-destroy­ing Telmex com­pa­ny was sab­o­taged in the south­west of Mex­i­co City around 2:30 in the morn­ing on Sun­day, August 2 by the Frente de Lib­eración de la Tier­ra. The idea was to cut the cables of the posts and then to cut the same post with a saw. It did not mat­ter that it was slow and ardu­ous work. The cable went through the branch­es of a tree obstruct­ing its free growth. We climbed the tree and with cut­ters cut the cable, then we took a saw and began to cut the pole halfway through and with a cord tied to the pole we pulled, but unfor­tu­nate­ly we could not move it since the move­ment of the cable that was con­nect­ed to the next post was very notice­able, which caused near­by neigh­bors to call the police. This pre­vent­ed us from con­tin­u­ing to pull the pole at the risk of run­ning into the police; final­ly we left a mark on the post with spray­paint: ELF and Earth First.

For every tree that is ripped from the earth to serve Telmex there will be thou­sands of sab­o­tages; we will not stop until we see dis­gust­ing civ­i­liza­tion, progress and all those who spread it destroyed!

The dark­ness did not allow us to record the action but there is no excuse for not shar­ing the plea­sure and the courage so we returned at dawn to take pic­tures of the action.

Earth Lib­er­a­tion Front and Eco-piró­manos por la Lib­eración de la Tier­ra [Eco-arson­ists for the Lib­er­a­tion of Earth] are fight­ing!
