We hung up banners over the Schuylkill Expressway condemning BlackRock for their investment in both the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline and Elbit Systems.
The United States is the single largest manufacturer and distributor of armaments in the world. This means weapons producing facilities are all around us, yet seldom do anti-war/anti-colonial movements identify and target the private companies that profit and enable these wars to be fought.
In this particular historical moment, with a years-long land war in Ukraine depleting the global stockpile of munitions and armaments, any disruption to the supply chain related to the production and distribution of armaments and ammunition in the United States has an immediate and real world impact on the ability of forces to drop bombs, fire rockets, deploy mines or bombard with artillery.
Movements attempting to disrupt the live-streamed genocide by Israeli forces in Gaza for over the last hundred days have periodically managed to identify and disrupt the flow of arms from the United States to Israel by targeting facilities or blockading infrastructure such as ports.
In the spirit of free people’s taking matters into their own hands, of autonomous direct action and a refusal to wait for permission, salvation or the intervention of a higher power, we offer the following list of local area arms manufacturers.
As with anything you come across on the internet, we urge groups and individuals to do their own research and reconnaissance prior to engaging in any action.
Headquartered at 1500 Spring Garden St, Philadelphia PA, 19130
Family owned company that operates several major US Army ammunition plants, producing 155mm artillery rounds, 120mm tank rounds, mines, hand grenades and more. Does private security for US Embassy in Jerusalem.
Parent company of American Ordinance LLC, Kansas LLC, SOC, Mason & Hanger
Makes ruggedized displays for military application
Elbit systems is an Israeli arms manufacturer with operations in the US and contracts with Homeland Security for US Border security. It is the target of an international campaign by Palestine Action
The last couple years’ Black-centric revolts have been organized mostly informally. Informality is often overlooked when it comes to discussing Black liberation organizing, yet today’s cutting edge rebels are almost exclusively organized along these lines. We’ll be discussing informality, and anarchists’ strategies surrounding it, to better understand Black revolt and the Black left and to strategize destroying the civil society that has made Black liberation movements so necessary.
Advance registration appreciated.
This event will be a presentation followed by open discussion.

Submission
Between February and March 2020, all over the world, heads of state made
solemn and grave announcements in order to prepare
their populations for what appeared to be a new era : one of war against
the virus. Within a couple months, the sabotage of telecommunication
infrastructures had almost become a daily event in France, as well as in
other European countries. Simultaneously, a debate sprang up within
anarchist and radical ecological publications, in particular about the
meaning and efficiency of these acts. How could we undermine
technological control ? Could we provoke a tipping point within this
situation? What scenarios did these sabotages open up ? How could we
consider efficiency, organization and ethics altogether?
Nowadays, the situation has evolved, but the problems brought up by the
following texts remain unresolved, maybe even more
so now, and without obvious answers : what are the links between direct
action and social or ecological movements? What strategies emerge when
we separate or combine anarchist, ecologist and techno-critical
perspectives? How do these strategies integrate a now-decisive element :
the war in Europe, which will guide and harden the grip of states on
their populations.
Antifascists have positively identified 54 year old Evan Wendell Plumlee of Feasterville-Trevose (Bucks County), PA as a neo-nazi, unidentified J6 rioter “insider #140”, and leader of White Lives Matter (WLM) PA.
Evan Wendell Plumlee
Plumlee is also a member of NJEHA and an associate of S14 and the Atlantic Nationalist Club, among other local nazi crews. Plumlee has long-standing connections both in-person and online to the far right scene in the tri-state (NY, NJ, PA) area. Over the past few years he has been occupying himself with joint actions between NJEHA, WLM PA, WLM NJ, Embrace Struggle AC, S14, and Atlantic Nationalist Club, while running the WLM PA Telegram channel with, the recently deceased, Jackson Bradley.
Plumlee’s Gab and Telegram account. They both have the same screen name and dog picture.
Plumlee first came to the attention of antifascists through a routine check of active fascist accounts in the tri-state area. A Telegram and Gab account by the handle AndailChanter was flagged due to its activity. After running some basic checks it was discovered that the account name, AndailChanter, was not unique to Telegram and Gab but existed across several other platforms, some of which were connected directly to Evan Plumlee.
One of Plumlee’s accounts, in this case bitbucket, was attached to his AndailChanter username.
Plumlee made an amateur mistake by linking his legal name to his online neo-nazi persona, which is reminiscent of other S14 member blunders such as Mark Kauffman, Sara Sheaffer, Jackson Bradley, Mathew Bair, Erin Gurel, Paul Minton, and Daisy McGowen. Additionally, Plumlee confirmed on his Telegram account that he lived in Bucks County, PA, further removing any plausible deniability over his identity.
With Plumlee positively identified, antifascists were able to trace his in-person and online activity and connect him to the earlier referenced local groups. Over the past few years Plumlee has forged a strong connection with NJEHA leader Dan D’ambly, S14 leadership, and has regularly attended actions in NJ, PA, and NY.

Plumlee is on the left, standing next to Paul Minton, during the ill fated Tom’s River Irish Festival rally. This is the same rally that Nicholas Mucci attended prior to his arrest.

Plumlee has also maintained WLM PA’s online presence, using in-person actions to bolster their content to try and recruit new membership.
These two pictures from the S14 chat are referencing a 2023 rally that Plumlee attended. He specifically grabbed footage from that day’s event for WLM PA’s 2023 Day of Action, which is a part of a larger nationwide push by WLM National where individual chapters are encouraged to do simultaneous racist actions.
Outside of his regular online and physical presence in the tri-state area neo-nazi scene, Plumlee is active in moderate right-wing politics on a national level, having connections to more palatable pro-Trump groups. Of note, his involvement in these circles and his connections to other neo-nazis enabled him to join a caravan to Washington D.C. in 2021 for the January 6 Trump rally that devolved into a violent convergence and occupation of the U.S. Capitol Building.

Plumlee and others are at one point confronted by a Capitol police officer while inside the building.
At the time of publishing, while over 1,000 people have been identified and faced criminal sentencing for their involvement in the January 6 riots, hundreds of people have not, including Plumlee. It is time to expose Plumlee for his actions on J6 and membership in neo-nazi organizations.
A note from NJ Hate Watch: this is not done in cooperation with the state, any of its agents, or those who cooperate with the state on any level. If Plumlee finds himself on the other end of a state investigation it is because of his own stupidity and arrogance. Any past, present, or future charges/state repression levied against those who participated in the J6 riots is a poor attempt by the state to show that it is against fascism. The U.S. state is by far the largest purveyor of fascism, and stands to benefit from sacrificial arrests and prison terms of J6 defendants.
On New Years Day 2024 Daryle Lamont Jenkins was admitted to a hospital in the New Jersey area, three days later and he is still there. Doctors have removed several blood clots and are now concerned with his kidneys. Daryle has been fighting for the cause of civil rights in the United States for well over a quarter of a century, traveling over the country at his own expense, giving help to all of us whenever we needed it- he now needs our help to heal.
I am writing this asking for your help. Daryle is going to need time to heal and get well, not get out of the hospital and get back to work- that may cause damage that there is no coming back from, so we are asking for funds that will help with rent and bills and food while he recuperates. Your generosity is appreciated it will allow him to continue this important work that too few people are willing to do on all of our behalf.
Update From Daryl on January 7, 2024
I figured I will be the one who updates this time. As you might know from some of the vids I have posted on social media, I’m home now. Next week, I will be talking with doctors to see what my next steps are because there needs to be alternatives to the treatment I have been getting and we need to pursue them. That’s not the only issue as before I had to deal with all the craziness of the past week, I had to make plans to get surgery on my hand because of some issues I have been having for a few months. So I am pretty much spending the next month or two doing doctor appointments and making sure things stay good. I should by the way note that due to the proximity of the two situations there might have been some confusion so let me note that me going to the hospital was unrelated to the accident with the train a few days prior. There were no injuries that day and only the car was hurt. Still, that is going to hurt me financially on a few levels which is why Luis suggested this GoFundMe in the first place. I’m glad he did because I was very down and stressed out these past few days and this effort took me out of that. I know I have said thank you before but frankly I can’t say it enough. So once again thank you and I will be out there with you all soon enough!
Join us at 3:30pm on Sunday, January 28th at Iffy Books for the premier release of freshly published, The Blue Agave Revolution: Poetry of the Blind Rebel. Collaboratively written by indigenous anarchist political prisoner Oso Blanco and Michael Novick, The Blue Agave Revolution is a joint work of speculative/magical realist fiction containing tales of the Mexican Revolution, analyses of contemporary Indigenous struggle, engagement with the work of other political prisoners including Leonard Peltier,Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Jessica Reznicek, art, poetry, and meditations about what struggles for freedom may look like in the future.
After introducing the book and hearing a piece from Oso Blanco himself, we’ll jump into a multimedia program on contemporary aspects of the Zapatista movement and other topics related to Oso Blanco’s wholehearted connections to indigenous autonomy in Turtle Island. We will be joined by author and journalist Scott Campbell to shed light on the role of Magonismo in the early Mexican revolution.
$20 suggested donation (includes a copy of the book). No one turned away for lack of funds.
Remote participation is welcome! If you can’t make it in person, we’ll ship it to you so you can follow along. We also encourage those who are joining in person, to purchase and familiarize yourself with the book ahead of time, but that is completely up to you. Cash donations at the event are welcome too!

Know that I went out fighting and wish we all
Could just have peace and be free
…
We cannot have peace until this empire falls. Even then, peace takes work and freedom is a constant struggle. If the cops kill me I want you to riot, to kill as many of them as you can.” – Tort’s diary p. 121
Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police. It was a true warrior who made the forest its home, devoted their life to the struggle, and was willing to die a revolutionary death rather than be captured. We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality.
Rather than retreat into the bounds of comfort and safety, let us allow our memory of Tort to remind us of what it means to truly act in accordance with our values, and to challenge ourselves to follow through. We are rendered harmless only when we allow our fear of the enemy to eclipse our desires to defend the land and reduce this capitalist hellworld to ashes. Remember that the mechanisms of subjugation and control encroach all around us. Wherever you are, you need not venture far to find the veins of industry; go out and sever them.
We need not be concerned with optics and media portrayals. We have no interest in seeking validation, recognition, or understanding from the same media outlets — agents of the society we wish to destroy — that deadname and misgender Tortuguita and relentlessly whitewash its life as one of nonviolence and passivity. Additionally, to contort our actions to render them acceptable to the general public is to inevitably dull them to the point of irrelevance. To work only within the confines of the existent is to disarm ourselves completely. As anarchists, we are able to speak to each other in a language all our own. When we redecorate walls, shatter windows, and set fires, we speak to each other in ways that the media and the general public need not understand; we become beautiful. When we refuse legibility, when we refuse sympathy and demands, we refuse cooptation, we refuse recuperation, and we seek out life.
It has been confirmed that Jackson Bradley, who was exposed as a S14 member in October 2023, has died at the age of 25 of septic shock. Bradley had been prolific in his online career as a neo nazi, and was revealed to have an extensive network to local neo nazi crews around the United States, like NSC 131, and was behind the White Lives Matter PA Telegram channel, the White Pill Cafe 2.0 Telegram channel, and a number of other national socialist Telegram content. Among his in-person neo nazi activities, Bradley was a member of NJEHA and S14, in addition to other crews like Embrace Struggle Active Club.
A recent photo of Bradley.
One of Bradley’s friends, a fellow (unidentified) S14 member who goes by the handle booboo kittyfck, reported the news of his death to S14 this week. Booboo kittyfck appeared destroyed, as she had worked closely with him for years, helping run the White Pill Cafe 2.0 Telegram channel and other virtual projects.
Reportedly, booboo kittyfck was in touch with Bradley’s family and received confirmation from them that Bradley had died. She also confirmed that she talked to Bradley on the phone on Christmas day.
A few different neo nazi organizations put out memorial statements for Bradley and not only verified that he went by the Telegram handle Robert Mathews, something that antifascists exposed in October 2023, but that he worked on other projects such as the New Dawn of White Action. Looking at the reactions that booboo kittyfck and others had over his passing, one would think Bradley was the epitome of national socialist ideals, intelligence, and masculinity.
The hilarious truth here is that couldn’t be further from the truth. Bradley’s death was his own doing and completely avoidable.
Mark Kauffman also confirms that Bradley was on the ground for the December 16 Jackson, NJ action that NJEHA and S14 held.
Bradley was reportedly not feeling well for over a week prior and talked to booboo kittyfck about it when they spoke on Christmas day. She tried to get him to go to the emergency room that day, but Bradley did not listen.
Bradley’s stubbornness was so bad that he needlessly suffered for days on end as his infection got worse. At this time its not clear what kind of original infection Bradley had, but given how sepsis commonly forms he likely had an easy to treat lung or urinary tract infection that evolved over time, going into his bloodstream. This means that Bradley actively ignored his primary infection and did not receive initial treatment.
Additionally, if an infection progresses into sepsis and is caught early, the survival rate is around 80%. If the infection is allowed to get worse and develops into septic shock, the survival rate is only 20%. In plain terms, if Bradley had listened to his fellow S14 members and went to the hospital, he likely would still be alive.
Bradley was also upper middle class and his mom helped support him financially, so it’s not like he couldn’t have afforded medical care either. Bradley had every option possible to him to receive treatment, but refused, due to his own arrogance. In the end Bradley killed himself with his own poor decision making, and likely endured a very painful death, when he succumbed to septic shock.
Bradley’s death is both ridiculous and from his own hand. Rest in Piss.
