Pipeline Solidarity: Informal Anarchist Front Attacks Bank of Canada, Chevron

11th Novem­ber

Ear­ly morn­ing, on Wednes­day Novem­ber 6th a Roy­al Bank Of Cana­da had all 2 of their ATMs smashed and 4 of their win­dows. This was an easy tar­get as it was far on East Hast­ings in Burn­a­by. The RBC was attacked because they help fund the most destruc­tive project on earth, the Alber­ta Tar Sands.

The next ear­ly morn­ing, a Chevron on 1st and Nanaimo had 9 of its 12 pumps smashed, effec­tive­ly shut­ting it the fuck down. This has no doubt cost Chevron tens of thou­sands of dol­lars due to dam­ages and lost rev­enue. It was eas­i­ly done with a ham­mer and took about 1–3 swings each pump. Chevron was attacked because it is a major­i­ty share­hold­er of the Pacif­ic Trail Pipeline. The Pacif­ic Trail Pipeline (PTP) is an already approved Nat­ur­al Gas pipeline but the Unist’ot’en have built a block­ade right on the path of this pipeline. As anar­chists we have noth­ing but sol­i­dar­i­ty for the Unist‘oten and will do every­thing we can to assist them in their strug­gle against all cor­po­ra­tions who wish to destroy their land and the colo­nial gov­ern­ments who wish to assist the cor­po­ra­tions as it runs par­al­lel with the anar­chist strug­gle.

To oth­er activists and envi­ron­men­tal groups[:] this anti-pipelines move­ment will either be anti-cap­i­tal­ist or noth­ing. It will either be a mix of vio­lent tac­tics and peace­ful ones or it will be inef­fec­tive. It will either be against this colo­nial gov­ern­ment or unsuc­cess­ful. We under­stand the mis­ery and despair of this soci­ety and cap­i­tal­ism can be very unin­spir­ing and depress­ing but there is noth­ing more lib­er­at­ing, while this soci­ety exists, than to smash, burn, loot and bomb some­thing that is smash­ing your life everyday.We hope these actions inspires you to take some risks. Find your com­fort zone and then chal­lenge it.

We under­stand that it can be scary to com­mit ille­gal acts so its best to start small and gain your con­fi­dence and skills. Try pos­tur­ing around your city and move on to paint bomb­ing to tar­get­ed graf­fi­ti. So on and so forth. The best way to break a win­dow is on the cor­ner where there is less flex. An ATM takes one or two strikes with an hard object. Be care­ful with ATMs through they usu­al have high def­i­n­i­tion cam­eras so cov­er your whole face. Glass­es or snow gog­gles would work great. Dress is loose black cloth­ing bear­ing no log[o]s. If you use oth­er cloth­ing ditch it right after. Black shoes work great. You can also wear dif­fer­ent colour shoes and wear socks over them and ditch the socks after you caused some hav­oc.
