| After seemingly endless months wrecking our minds and bodies in front of a computer screen, we are proud to announce the release of BLOODLUST: a feminist journal against civilization. Issue #1 contains a critical piece on antifeminism in the writings of Wolfi Landstreicher, an essay raising important questions regarding rewilding, information on emotional support in radical communities, and more. Also included are reprints by Susan Griffin, John Moore, and others.
Toward a primitivism that is explicitly queer and feminist!
Toward a feminism that explicitly against civilization!
Toward the destruction of the patriarchal Leviathan in all of its manifestations!

| Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, the journal of the Institute for Anarchist Studies (IAS), is calling for submissions that address climate change and the current economic crisis from radical and revolutionary positions. We see the ecological crisis as an indictment of dominant social structures. With this in mind, we would like to publish essays exploring this moment as an opportunity to radically restructure society for the better.
The world today faces the immediate impact of a global recession, coupled with the quickly unfolding reality of catastrophic climate change. The economy and the environment are inextricably linked, as capitalist economic decisions erode ecological balance and long-term sustainability. Ecology may be the one question which capitalism can not answer. This climate crisis, a threat to the lives of billions of people - primarily the poor of the southern hemisphere - as well as countless plant and animal species, has not as of yet received due consideration by the anti-authoritarian Left. It has received some attention from the Left, and from the anti-civilization, primitivist Green Anarchy camps, but we are seeking further elaborations and more systematic treatments from social revolutionaries and anti-authoritarians. |

| From Business and Media - by Jeff Poor
Scavenging for dead animals killed by the 'car culture' described as the more 'ecological choice.'
How appetizing does pan-seared raccoon sound? Or how about some wood-grilled possum? Those aren’t dishes from a Depression-era restaurant, but they could be part of an environmentally conscious diet.
Left-wing environmentalists are popularizing an idea from a book by so-called food-preservationist Sandor Ellix Katz called “The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved: Inside America's Underground Food Movements.” Katz made the case for roadkill to be part of a diet in the name of sustainability, noting millions of roadkill casualties litter the nation’s roads annually. His July 28 opinion piece saying “It's Fresh, It's Organic, It's Free” ran on the left-wing site Alternet. |

| From Green is the new Red by Will Potter
Hugh Farrell and Gina “Tiga” Wertz have their first court date on July 14th: they’ve been charged with racketeering-–charges originally intended to target the mob–-for allegedly “conspiring” to engage in tree sits, participate in non-violent civil disobedience, and make an inflammatory blog post against the I-69 NAFTA superhighway.
When I reported on their arrest, though, I didn’t catch an interesting bit of information buried in the government’s motion for $20,000 cash bond. Mind you, these activists are not accused of any property destruction or violence, they’re accused of “conspiracy.” So how did the government attempt to justify the high cash bond? |

| anonymous communique (translation from Bite Back):
"Because of coordination that took place between groups with the goal of organized direct action in Mexico State as well as in Mexico City, from May 18 to 19 the following sabotages were carried out:
- A BBVA bank was attacked, smashing the windows.
- An incendiary device was placed on top of an ATM belonging to another BBVA bank, leaving it completely melted and unusable and a note was left claiming the action.
- The windows of another BBVA bank were smashed with hammers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHGYyqscHfE).
- Red paint was spilled on the windshield and the hood of a truck belonging to the Lala milk company
These actions are done in solidarity with prisioners, human and non-human (animals), some imprisoned for putting into practice their anti-authoritarian ideals and others imprisoned for simply being another species, but both are victims of the dominant system. |

| received anonymously and translated by Bite Back Magazine):
"In the early morning hours of May 7, a cell from the Frente de Liberación Animal was planning to hit two targets in the commercial area of the City of Coacalco in Mexico State, but to our surprise there were already a lot of people around these targets, on their way to monotonous jobs and boring schools. Because of that we decided to postpone our action for another day and to find new targets to attack.
The darkness covered our silhouettes and the moon illuminated our feelings of freedom.
Crossing the avenue we decided to hit a bank, for being one of the icons of the capitalist system, the destroyer of the planet, the animals and humans; we painted an anarchist symbol on their windows and busted a few of them. |

| From Daily Emerald - by Matt Petryni
Those of us just finishing our first nine months in the fair hamlet of Eugene this June probably know very little about the town's history. As someone who's spent the better part of four years in Eugene, I often feel utterly unaware of my context, its history and its character. At times, I'm just apathetic - a sentiment I'm sure a good many University students might share.
The "world's greatest city of arts and the outdoors," as it far-too-ambitiously fancies itself, has a much more substantial legacy than such a superficial slogan suggests. For many years, it was the conscience and breaking point of the hippie movement, or, as described by High Times, "the capital of American Anarchism." If a city was as far to the American left-wing as Rush Limbaugh is to the right, it might be safe to say that city is Eugene. |

| In fifteen months at the beginning of the second decade of the 19th century a movement of craft workers and their supporters declared war on the then emerging industrial society. The movement spread across the Northern counties of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. It smashed thousands of machines, looted markets, burned down factories and spread hope of a way out of the bleak future being offered by state and industries. It was a movement that, in the words of the late radical historian E.P. Thompson; "in sheer insurrectionary fury has rarely been more widespread in English History,".
Towards the end of the first decade of the 21st century nearly 200 years later, a new age of Luddites return with an insurrection in México. Over a hundred phone booths of multinational exploiter and bullfight sponser Telmex have been sabotaged using cutters, paint, glue and fire. The Luddites are showing resistance to anthropocentrism (human supremacy), civilization and the domestication of wild nature, using radical methods of sabotage for animal and earth liberation. |

| anonymous report (translation):
"During the night of Friday, April 10th we headed toward the financial center of Santiago, located in one of the most bourgeois parts of the city, Las Condes. There we arrived at the Plaza Peru where for decoration there is a large bird cage that houses about 50 birds, and which prevents them from flight. In this plaza there is a guard whose guardhouse is about 4 meters from the cage and in one of the corners there is a police station.
Upon arriving at the place we noticed that the plaza guard was inside his guardhouse and we could act behind his back, but in the station that is right in the corner of the plaza the police make rounds at specific times, walking or in patrol cars. Yet nothing intimidated us and we decided to go ahead; with the help of some pliers we managed to open a large hole in the cage so that the birds could escape. We do not know exactly how many birds managed to escape, we hope that there were many. |
