Lägret i Jamtmyråskogen/Vilseskogen närmar sig, 16 februari – 1 mars håller det på, men kom när du vill och kan! Nya provbrytningar är på gång i Sápmi, motståndet laddar upp och vi startar en podcast som du kan vara med att göra!
The camp in Jamtmyrå-/Vilseforest is happening soon, 16 Februari – 1 Mars is it, but come whenever you want! New testminings are planned in Sápmi, the resistance is charging up and we are starting a podcast project that you can join!
The 23rd July we stopped the Canadian corporation Tasman Metals’ test drillings for rare earth elements (REE) in Norra Kärr, Sweden. We heard they probably had been securing the place with CCTV-cameras so we decided to drive as fast as possible right into the enemy claimed forest, straight through any alarm system. Then we ran a few kilometers until we found the drilling rig. Using bike-locks we chained our bodies to the nasty machine. We alerted some media with a press release. Then some cops came with people from the corporation in a few hours. They gathered 20 something cops but Tasman decided not to intervene even though we were breaking the law. They didn’t want the extra fuzz from brutal cop-violence. So we could stay at the beautiful site with the ugly machine the whole day talking to journalists and drinking coffee with excited supporters.
We know rare earth mining has been apocalyptic in desert biomes due to all the toxic waste. This mine would be right next to Swedens biggest drinking water reserve, the beautiful lake Vättern. It’s got bright clear water and supports 260 000 people with clean water at the moment, more cities want to plug in! Tasman Metals is hiding its ugly plans to make investors gamble with human and non-human health and we will not allow that!
In solidarity with all people fighting patriarchy and the white mans colonial worldview!

Nytt provborrhål.
Besvikna arbetare.
Lite bitter snut.

Bolaget har satt igång och borrar igen i Gállok. Dom vill få en bättre översikt över hur malmkroppen ser ut. Många är arga och upprörda över detta och aktionen mot bolaget är inte över bara för att dom fortsätter att borra. Borrningarna har pågått sedan flera år och liknande borrningar sker på massa ställen i Sverige just nu. Det aktionen i somras (2013) gick ut på var att stoppa/fördröja de provsprängningar bolaget utförde då, provsprängning ger större sår i naturen och sker inte i lika stor omfattning. Blir det aktuellt med nya sprängningar kommer det bli aktuellt med vansinnigt motstånd.
The corporation has started drilling in Gállok again. They want a better view of the iron ore body. Many people are angry because of this and the action against the corp is not yet over just because they are drilling. The drillings has been going on since several years and similar drillings are taking place all over Sweden right now. The action last summer (2013) was against the test mining operations the corp did then, if they are test mining again new furious actions against it will occur.
