The perennial struggle against development in Haddington and throughout Philadelphia continues. Weeks ago we sabotaged heavy machinery used for construction at the Haddington golf course construction site by introducing bleach into the filtration and fuel systems. We send solidarity to the saboteurs carrying out attacks at Kingsessing, Bartrams, FDR, and other sites of development and gentrification.
Free the land!
Free the city!

In the unholy hours of early July we placed caltrops on the driveway of Lockheed Martin in Archbald, Pennsylvania. Hope they fucked up your genocidal vehicles. Quit your jobs. Until you do none of you fools deserve to feel safe. Free Palestine!

In the early morning hours of July 9th, while Ghost Robotics CEO Gavin Kenneally was out of town at the Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems USA conference, several of his neighbors paid his Fairmount townhome a visit.
We threw paint and tagged the messages Ghost Robotics Kills and Murderer on the garage door and front entrance. We refuse to live in a world where Palestinians and migrants crossing the border must fear for their lives at the hands of killer robots, while the makers and war profiteers sleep peacefully in our city. We know where they live.

In the early hours of July 9th we smashed every window of the entrance to the Pennovation center, a ritzy research compound in Philadelphia. The lone security guard must have been so surprised when we appeared out of nowhere and started smashing, because he didn’t even try to stop us! And we couldn’t believe how long it took for the police to show up…
The Pennovation center is home to Ghost Robotics, a company that manufactures so-called “robot dogs.” Israel has been buying these robot dogs for $150,000 apiece and using them in their ongoing extermination of Palestinians. While the University of Pennsylvania continues to enable the research and manufacture of these weapons, Israel has destroyed every university in the Gaza strip, and continues to bomb schools where Palestinian refugees are taking shelter. Breaking windows is a small retaliation, but every time we act emboldens us.
Until Palestine is free, and even then, we will never stop!

On the evening of May 30th we took vengence on the machinery that is laying astroturf in the Kingsessing Rec center in West Philadelphia. We hit 3 machines, pouring sugar in the gas tanks, painting windows, and taking an impact drill to all of the tires (something that is incredibly easy and effective).
Astroturf is an environmental diaster as well as a public health concern & we reject its creation and its presence through out our city, at this site and the FDR meadows. Modern convenience at the the sacrifice of Earth and the health of aniamls (including children) will be fought back against. May this be a warning to all redevelopment projects that offer convenience to some while continuing to ravage the black and brown communities who take in the most pollution from redevelopment and benefit little to none.
Land defense is not only about pushing back against the destruction of green spaces but resistence to gentrification and settler mentality. Fighting the aesthetic desires of the rich & the continuation of a society of modernities that alienates us from each other,Earth & feeds the beast of capitalism. We will be back.
In the Lenape language “Kingsessing” means “a place where there is a meadow” May grass prevail and the industrial sports complex perish! May the youth be safe from further contaminates in their limited play spaces.
Also fuck Caterpillar industries! These bastards sell construction equipment to Israel to bulldoze homes in Palesitne.
We are anti-turf, anti-terf
Almost a month later, we have noticed that all the rolls of astroturf have been removed from the Kingsessing Rec Center as well as any machinery. Without more research, we can only assume the action we took has stopped construction for the time being and scared developers of further sabotage.
Join us as we avenge the FDR meadows, Haddington Woods (construction is starting up again on the Golf Course), Bartrams North & all the sall but precious greenery in between. Keep it wild sluts.

I attacked two construction sites. At one site I destroyed four Ring cameras, at another I threw paint on its sign and walls. These small actions were done in solidarity with anarchist prisoners and the struggle at SCI Rockview.
Fuck gentrification!
Free Palestine!
Long live anarchy!

Today I walked around UPenn and obscured the screens of PPA parking meters and drew all over the bathroom walls of the Penn Bookstore.
Fuck them for not divesting from Israel.
Fuck them for shutting down the encampments.
Fuck all the Zionists at UPenn.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Police are working to identify a group of masked suspects caught on video vandalizing an apartment building in West Philadelphia.
It happened outside the Olympic Tower Apartments on the 4900 block of Spruce Street on May 1.
Surveillance video shows 10 suspects smashing windows on the first floor with hammers and throwing a glass bottle filled with purple paint on the sidewalk.
Police say the damage is estimated at $100,000.
We spoke with one of the owners of the apartment complex who described the frightening moments the people inside experienced.
He says employees were scared and hiding in a back room, thinking it was a shooting.
In all, 27 windows were smashed, the owner said, with glass shattered onto residents’ beds.
Police say this is an act of cowardly vandalism.
“You’re covering your face up and you’re going to go out and smash somebody else’s private property, not knowing what could possibly be on the other side of that glass,” said Capt. Robert McKeever, commanding officer for the Southwest Detective Division.
Police are asking people in the area to check their surveillance video. They say it’s possible once the vandals got further down the block they may have taken their masks off or fled in a getaway car.
We spoke with Andre Williams who lives in the neighborhood. He says he’s looking into moving into the building.
“There’s still tension about this area being newly gentrified but, you know, people have to still respect each other’s property,” Williams said.
Police are looking into an anarchist group that has claimed responsibility for the vandalism online, but they have yet to identify any suspects.
No one was injured.

Philly May Day demo-actions are back baby!!!!
This May Day, Philly anarchists went back to doing what we do best….anti-gentrification and anti-prison actions. The evening started out with a demo at the juvenile detention center in West Philly. Around 20 of us walked from the meet-up spot to the parking lot behind the facility, where demonstrators can be heard from the kids’ dorms. There were a bunch of loud fireworks, flares, and anti-cop chants, as locked-up kids pounded on their windows in response. This unfortunately only lasted about two minutes, as apparently the cops’ response times to these kinds of demos has dramatically improved. Cop cruisers immediately pulled up and blocked both exits we’d been planning to use, and one cop car attempted to run over a couple of our friends on their way out. Luckily as far as we know there were no arrests and everyone got out fine in the end, if a little shaken.
Around twelve of us met back up a couple hours later to attack a very ugly new apartment building on Spruce St and 49th St. This is another classic of Philly anarchy – terrorizing gentrifiers by mobbing up to attack a new building while its residents are already living in it. At least ten of its huge windows were taken out and a paint bomb or two got thrown.
Attacking isn’t always easy; most of the time it takes a lot of courage just to show up and a lot of planning to make sure everyone gets out safely. We appreciate how carefully these two actions were organized and everyone who showed up. Let’s keep being brave and supporting each other and maybe one day we can take down Amerikkka 😉
Solidarity to the comrades struggling in and around SCI Rockview, you are not alone! Long live anarchy! <3

Dear philly faggots,
Thxx so much for the great time this weekend! While we were visiting we saw those cameras on the power lines by Bartram North and decided to take a few down with some girth tails and a 4lb hammer. A big ladder would also have worked. Sorry we didn’t get them all, but we’ll get the rest next time!
Until then,

Fire completely destroys a meat market and deer processing business.
The Valencik family writes: “A devastating fire destroyed the nearly 57 year old deer processing shop at the Valencik farm. It is a total loss and although the building was insured it is not nearly enough to cover everything that was kept inside the entire building.”

“Are people within prisons/jail/detention the only ones who are expected to engage in material disruption? To take risks? Are we just vessels of emotional solidarity?”
“Where are the vulnerabilities to prison management’s morale and how does one remove the will of guards to endure?”
Security guards protect property. They help the police put people in prisons, they are part of the prison industrial complex. As people attack property private security acts as the auxiliary of the prison and police state. With this in mind as well as reading about the conditions at SCI Rockview we slashed the tires of a Securitas van. This was a small, easy, and replicate-able action that you can do with a friend. We agree with the comrade at SCI Rockview that “an assault on both fronts” is necessary, targets are everywhere. In the amerikkkan hellscape our lives are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of confinement. This is why we chose to attack the security van. Small actions like these can build capacity to be able to break down the prison walls.
Destroy PA-DOC
Fuck security guards
Fire to the prisons
