On October 4, World Animal Rights Day, prisoner of conscience Maxim Kryvosh (Plohoy) declared a hunger strike.
MY NAME IS JUSTICE
Letter from solitary confinement
“All living beings are filled with the Holy Spirit, therefore man and animal have equal rights.” (Andrew Linsey “Divine Rights of Animals”)
“For animals, every second is a terrorist attack on September 11.” (Stephen Best)
I declare a hunger strike – a protest against the System of human cruelty to animals; a protest against the murder of the Living Earth by terrorists in law. Our world is mortally sick. The name of the disease: the inhumanity of beings who are born to be people. To treat the disease itself, and not its symptoms, you need to know its root, understand the origin.
The root of Evil is the state social order, that is, the System. The system of false values, the system of false people. The veneration of the Dollar has turned the Earth into a hell for the Truth.
STATE TERRORISM is the most dangerous terrorism, because, in addition to the body, it also takes the soul and conscience of a person hostage; it turns them into soulless, unscrupulous puppets of Capital, into cannon fodder, into hired killers. State terrorism has turned the beautiful planet into a slaughterhouse and a meat market, into a weapons factory, a military barracks and a police station.
Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Xi Jinping … are masks of global state terrorism. Masks of a system of total Evil. The more powerful the state, the more weapons and money it has – the greater the terrorist it is, because its “greatness” is bought at the price of total injustice, at the price of killing the Living Earth.
**** The only way out of the vicious circle of our cruelty is to recognize that animals are moral subjects and cannot be property, as was done in relation to human slaves. The presumption of the supremacy of humans over other species of earthlings is the great lie of the System, the lie about true Love and Justice. The great lie of legalized torture and killing of animals kills our humanity. War! it begins with our cruelty over Sensual Nature.
THE KILLING OF PEOPLE BEGINS WITH THE KILLING OF ANIMALS. By killing a living being, we kill ourselves; this is how the law of the Universe works. DO NOT KILL! do not kill anything living – the universal eternal principle of Justice.
The path of a true man is the Struggle, the struggle for Justice for all earthlings; the struggle against everything that kills and legalizes murder. A real person is an enemy of the existing state of affairs, an enemy of the generally accepted terrorism in the law. A real person is born in the struggle for DO NOT KILL. A real person is ANTI-SYSTEM.
**** Animal suffering is a direct consequence of the existence of the Capitalist System. Effectively defending animal rights is possible only through Direct Action against the existing system, which I call terrorism in the law. Demanding justice for animals, leaving aside, keeping quiet about all the conditions that generate this terrible injustice, means deceiving yourself. The system is the inaccessibility, the absence of legal means of effective struggle for justice; therefore, “illegal” methods of struggle become righteous.
The production and consumption of meat in the world is increasing every year. This means that the vast majority of activism under loud slogans about protecting animal rights is a farce, populism, imitation and sabotage of the struggle. Hypocrites, do not deceive yourselves, the real struggle for animal rights begins with the realization of the truth: everything that is true, permissible for the protection of people, is no less true and permissible for the protection of animals.
**** Progress achieved at the cost of suffering, the killing of God’s beautiful creatures, will not make us happy. The System is the progress of cruelty and spiritual suicide of people. Well-being bought by an unscrupulous existence does not bring joy. The trouble of the people of the System is that they do not want, do not know how to distinguish what is written by the Truth in their hearts from what is written by the state – Right from the laws. The trouble of beings who trust, sell their Conscience to political-oligarchic gangs. The right to be called a Human is gained in the fight for Justice for all earthlings; the fight for the spread of DO NOT KILL to everything that feels pain, fear and can suffer. The fight for animal rights, the fight for Life against Death – a sacred act of service to the Eternal; an act by which I save my soul. And you?! Start with ethical veganism.
**** Animals are not the property of people; ANIMALS are NOT MEAT; their rights to life without suffering, to freedom are no less than those of people. They feel prison, pain and fear of death just like we do. Meat is not food; MEAT IS MURDER. VEGANISM is the moral duty of every person; a moral minimum. Veganism is the first and main step in the fight for animal rights, in the fight against global warming. The moral significance of animals is determined by their ability to feel, suffer, love.
You, people of the Capitalist System, defend your existence, your money, your myths with weapons in your hands, consider it normal, legal … And when I took up arms to defend the rights trillions of innocent creatures – your hostages, whom you torture and kill every day, creatures who do not know how to protect themselves – for this you declared me a terrorist and put me in a cage for 13 years. I am happy! because my solitary cage is my solidarity with the cages of all the animals of the world.
MY NAME is BILLIONS of my younger brothers and sisters. MY NAME is JUSTICE!
Mobilizing world public opinion against Auschwitz for the animals into which we have turned the Earth, awakening the conscience of virtuous terrorists in the law – this was the goal of my Anti-System Day action. Watch the film “Earthlings”! Release the hostages!
**** I dedicate the protest action to the memory of the righteous who died in the fight for animal rights – Jill Phipps, Vicki Moore, Mike Hill, Tom Warby. Viva Anti-System!
