Institution Targeted: Carso Construction Company

Somewhere, during the afternoon of December 8, we armed our incendiary devices and conspired to attack the machines that devastate ecosystems and create civilization.
The target: A lot on the edge of the Mexican interstate highway in Nextlalpan, full of planet-destroying machines waiting to be used again by wage-slaves for an infrastructural highway project.
The machines belonged to the Carso construction company (owned by the wretched Carlos Slim). A huge floodlight illuminated them in an attempt to deter anyone from getting too close. Nevertheless, we were able to do exactly that.
At night, we jumped over the railing separating the interstate highway from the pedestrian walkway. We slipped undetected beneath the machines and attached timed incendiary devices to:
1. The front pedals of a steamroller, so that the fire would consume the wiring located between the pedals and the engine.
2. The wiring of a large machine used for transporting and laying concrete.
3. The engine of another steamroller.
4. The wiring leading to the engine of a road grader.
Our devices ignited while we were making our getaway. From far away, we could see flames—caused by green elves—consuming the machines responsible for wiping out the planet’s wildlife. We weren’t going to wait for the real COP16 chaos in Cancún to begin just so we could strike elsewhere, because we don’t wait, we simply act. If not now, when?
This action is dedicated to the Animal Liberation and Earth Liberation warriors locked up in the system’s prisons: Adrian Magdaleno, Braulio Arturo, Abraham López. The fire that consumed the machines also represents you! Stay strong!
