RWE Fuck Off & Die! [Lignite/Brown Coal Protest] (Germany)

Yes­ter­day (Wed, 09.Oct.2013) ener­gy giant RWE (Rheinisch-West­fälis­ches Elek­triz­itätswerk AG) used the bailiffs of the sys­tem to break down the pro­tec­tive appli­ances in the squat­ted HAMBACH FOREST — we sus­pect an evic­tion to be immi­nent!

Yes­ter­day (Wed, 09.Oct.2013) ener­gy giant RWE (Rheinisch-West­fälis­ches Elek­triz­itätswerk AG) used the bailiffs of the sys­tem to break down the pro­tec­tive appli­ances in the squat­ted HAMBACH FOREST — we sus­pect an evic­tion to be immi­nent!
This is a call out to every­one inter­est­ed: Join the resis­tance in the Rhineland — you anar­chists, eco-activists, wrong-doers, rev­o­lu­tion­ar­ies and every­one else, join the strug­gle — NOW!

This is the rough trans­la­tion of a text pub­lished yes­ter­day on www.linksunten.indymedia.org (Ger­many) by a group call­ing them­selves “Black Block For­est Defend­ers” whom we are sup­port­ing here­with…

“RWE Fuck off & Die!”

The Ham­bach For­est is bound to be clear-cut by RWE to fur­ther extend the biggest human-made hole in Europe (the Ham­bach open cast mine to exca­vate lignite/brown coal).
Since April 2012 there was a for­est occu­pa­tion (until Novem­ber 2012 and again in March 2012, adding there is an ongo­ing and vital protest camp locat­ed on a mead­ow direct­ly at the edge of the for­est since Novem­ber 2012.)
And recent­ly, dur­ing the Climate-/ReclaimTheFields!-Camps, a new for­est occu­pa­tion did arise and is held since one month now.

But this occu­pa­tion of the “doomed” for­est is of course threat­ened by the author­i­ties who already destroyed some plat­forms and also has­sle the mead­ow-protest-camp on a con­stant basis by ran­dom arrests (which always led nowhere) and destruc­tion of infra­struc­ture (show­ers, toi­lets, bar­ri­cades,…).

Yes­ter­day police and RWE-forestry-work­ers have been here again, destroy­ing bar­ri­cades, fill­ing trench­es, cut­ting lanes and rip­ping access roads in the for­est.

- we cer­tain­ly do not call those who want to sup­port the strug­gle but cannot/don’t want to come here to cre­ate their own ideas on how to attack state, cap­i­tal, ener­gy providers, police, repres­sive admin­is­tra­tions & Co. every­where… 😉

- and those who rather would like to squat hous­es instead of trees we do not tell that there are hun­dreds of emp­ty build­ings in the area. Because this might only be hearsay… 😉

Every­day now could be the time of evic­tion. In our view this day would be DAY X.

DAY X could be exact­ly the day to meet SOMEWHERE — here at the Ham­bach For­est or/and in your town and area to protest and do action, to be present against the sys­tem­at­ic crap which is hap­pen­ing here and every­where!
Cap­i­tal­ism, the log­ic of growth, the destruc­tion of our means of liv­ing, dis­place­ment, hunger and death are glob­al — and so are our anger, our hate and our actions of protest!

The ener­gy giant RWE is Europe’s most pro­lif­ic lover of lig­nite, is dig­ging the biggest hole in Europe in a relent­less manor (Tage­bau Ham­bach), is expro­pri­at­ing peo­ple on a law-base which was installed dur­ing the Third Reich (Bergrecht) and destroys whole areas (right now: Morschenich and Man­heim), is respon­si­ble for ten­t­hou­sands of mur­ders (cli­mate refugees, coal exca­va­tion in e.g. Colum­bia,…), the extinc­tion of species (Bech­stein-bat), is a vital part of the Ger­man pol­i­tics of aus­ter­i­ty (EIB-cred­its) and has its head­quar­ters in Essen (?!).

Ham­bach­er Forst stays!
Under­mine, occu­py, for­judge and dis­man­tle RWE — STOP THEM NOW!
