[Dissent-fr-info] Appel aux Brigades Internationales pour le Contre-Sommet de Copenhague 2009

[Dissent! France Info Newsletter]

against the COP15 summit in copenhagen
*Call out for the International brigades.

The Never Trust A COP network was formed in April 2009 by individuals who
want to link social struggles and climate activism based on an
anti-capitalist analysis to mobilize against the COP15 summit.

NTAC is a non-hierarchical network of radical left individuals and groups
based on consensus decision making.

We are encouraging all radical left, anarchist and autonomous individuals
and groups to come to Copenhagen and join the actions between the 12th and
the 18th of December.

To put a stop to the capitalist fluxes we call for decentralized actions
throughout the summit.

On November 30th, we call for an INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTIONS: Protesting
against the WTO summit in Geneva, global capitalism and warming up for the
COP15.

The next meeting of NTAC is in Copenhagen from September 11th to September
13th. So start planning in your local groups and come join us for the next
meeting!

More information on the meeting and on the actions to come.

Green alternative lifestyle doesn't liberate anyone - talking is over action

The catastrophe is real and climate change is one of its many symptoms. The
COP15’s inevitable talk of “saving the world from the climate crisis” is an
elaborate hoax to disguise the COP15’s true purpose: to restore the
legitimacy of global capitalism by inaugurating an era of “green”
capitalism. A new rhetoric of “saving the climate” will exist to justify
their repression, their fortified borders, their colonial resource wars. To
give the Emperor new clothes. Our response to this astounding lie is an
uncompromising and absolute NO to their system.

More has to be shaken than our holiday habits to sustain the world for times
to come. It would be foolish to pin our hopes upon the very people who
continue to kill off the planet for money. At Copenhagen, they will argue
over how to properly create a market to commodify and so pollute the
biosphere, dispossessing millions of people from their land to profit from
destroying what remains of our earth. Governments and corporations will not
sacrifice their growth to reduce carbon emissions, or only do so in order to
create a new authoritarian regime for themselves.

The entire rhetoric of the “climate crisis” and the “financial crisis” is a
cynical maneouvre by the state spin-doctors to deny the all-encompassing
crisis of self-declared civilization. The COP15 will only attempt to hide
the war that capitalism is waging against all life on the planet, a war that
has spread across the entire globe for the last five hundred years, a war
that encompasses the totality of even the oceans and atmosphere. In the
midst of war, one does not talk of management and “technical solutions.” You
cannot fight a war by pretending the war does not exist, by blinding
yourself to repression and becoming complicit in accepting the false-promise
of a petit bourgeois tranquility. Instead, one recognizes the enemy. One
chooses a position. One fights.

Only by ridding ourselves of those who claim to be representing us and by
defeating the ideology of endless economic growth, industrial production and
consumption can we take control of our lives and planet. It is time to
state: we are going to consciously attack the structures supporting the
COP15: we will break through the lines of their police; we will refuse to
negotiate with warmongering governments and the embedded media; we will
refuse to side with sell-out NGOs and all the would-be managers of protest;
we will refuse all governments and governance and not just de-legitimize the
present ones. It is time to state why we think that insurrection is needed
to actually begin the change everybody is so desperate for. Acting together
in fundamental opposition to those in power we might get a first glimpse of
the richness and opportunities possible when ideas, experiences and concepts
are shared amongst people from all over the world.

On with the international brigades!

It’s social war not climate chaos!
