Vol 1.

In dedication to Marie Harrison, Hunters Point environmental activist, and all indigenous peoples lost, stolen, detained, migrating, creating, thriving, resisting, loving, and protecting Earth.

II.

Our intention is to share the wisdom we have gained in this lifetime through popular education, decolonization, direct action, and our inherent willpower to heal ourselves, loved ones, relatives, and pachamama (Mother Earth) from all that we have been through and all that is to come.

III.

We are living in the Anthropocene, a geological time period marked by the altering of Earth by human activity. In recent years we have seen record-setting storms, droughts, and fires around the world. The destruction of the environment and the exploitation of resources is directly linked to the rise of global fascism. It is reaching its peak and manifesting in exploitation, oppression, and the poisoning of people and the earth. Communities of color are most affected by climate change and environmental destruction from industry. Both biodiversity and cultural diversity are rapidly being homogenized. Climate change and resource wars are displacing people around the world and fueling massive waves of immigration. Our Black and Indigenous relatives are already living in this post-apocalyptic world after having been dispossessed by colonialism in the past and at this very moment. Our ancestors knew then and we know now that the end of one world means the beginning of a new one. How can we create a world worth living in? How can we ensure that it is one that the next seven generations can survive and thrive in?

This guide was made to help navigate the modern ecological crisis. When we speak of ecology, we include people, communities, and cultures along with plants, animals and the land. Human beings are animals that are part of nature; therefore, a part of ecosystems. This zine was created on stolen Ohlone land that has been colonized three times. We recognize colonialism as an on-going act of destruction of communities and the land. It is important that we let Black, Indigenous, and Queer, Trans and Two-Spirit people (BI-QTPOC) lead us in our work towards liberation. Indigenous people around the world have been at the frontlines of the war against colonialism and continue to be as we see with our relatives in the Amazonia, Africa, West Papua, Turtle Island, and First Nations tierras. Although science and technology offer some solutions to climate change, we must take the initiative to make changes in our own lives so that our children and grandchildren will inherit a livable planet. Technological fixes only perpetuate the capitalist system that has wreaked havoc on our planet. The only true solution to climate change is revolution.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” - Assata Shakur

IV.

Indigenous Existence as Anti-Colonial, Anti-Fascist Resistance:

We’d like to acknowledge that global Indigenous communities have and continue to be the agents of cultivating and preserving “theory” and “analysis” when it comes to protecting the earth and do not see their existence as mutually exclusive from it.

“We are not defending nature. We are nature defending itself!”

Theories to help us understand our current situation and how to strategize:

Ecology is the study of the relationship between different organisms in an ecosystem. A fundamental aspect of ecology is the interconnectedness of all life.

Ecofeminism recognizes the connection between the domination of nature and the domination of humans.

Ecowomanism builds upon black feminism, ecofeminism, and environmentalism. Ecowomanism is based upon the intersectionality of oppression, including social injustices and ecological injustices. It challenges the whitewashing of environmentalism and acknowledges the contributions of women of African descent and women of color to the environmental movement.

“Ecowomanism is discourse, dialogue, a conversation that centers the voices, experiences, and sociological perspectives of women of African descent and women of color on the environment.” – Rev. Dr. Melanie L. Harris

Indigenous Anarchism is malleable, embraces change, and explores what survivance looks like as remnants of genocide. Because it identifies colonialism as the root cause of the daunting state of things it does not seek to include coerced and collaborative worldviews. How do we manifest our ungovernable force of nature? This definition was crowdsourced at the Indigenous Anarchist Convergence in August 2019 occupied Dine territory.

Ecosocialism blends ecological and marxist theory. Ecosocialists believe that capitalism is the root of war, poverty and environmental destruction and that dismantling capitalism will help solve these issues.

Geocommunism is a theory that has been developed by political geographer Arun Saldanha that argues that capitalism is the root of climate change and societal inequality. Geocommunism proposes a communist revolution rooted in intersectionality and ecological consciousness.

Excerpt from the geocommunist manifesto:

The Anthropocene has to be posited as the material and theoretical ground of any concept of social justice. The combat for justice starts with four facts: 1)resources are per definition finite, 2) the earth system has been irrevocably altered by human production, 3) positive feedback loops under capital are accelerating severe perturbations to ecosystems, 4) humans are in the last instance evolutionary entities at risk of starvation, disease and brutality. Scientists predicting half of humanity will perish by 2100 are already proposing fascist responses to these four facts.

https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/arunsaldanha/geocommunism

Social Ecology is the exploration of connections between people and the environment. Anarchist theorist Murray Bookchin analyzes the interdependence of social formations, institutions, and has radically inspired the emergence and sustenance of the Kurdish liberation movement.

VI.

Solidarity looks like Anti-Colonial Direct Action:

Image description: Tuira Kayapó, has been fighting to protect the amazon in Brazil for decades from western multinational companies. She ran the blade of her machete three times over the President of Light holding Company Petrobras cheeks and in her native tongue warned, “You are a liar. We do not need electricity. Electricity is not going to give us our food. We need our rivers to flow freely: our future depends on it. We need our jungles for hunting and gathering. We do not need your dam.”

VII.

Disaster Preparedness:

As climate change worsens, natural disasters will increase in severity and frequency. The Bay Area is long over do for a big Earthquake. The East Bay is particularly vulnerable to quakes because of Hayward fault. Although we cannot prevent natural disasters, we can prepare for them. Consider organizing with your neighborhood to create a disaster plan.

Basic Emergency Supply Kit

Water (1 gallon a day per person for at least 3 days)

Food (at least 3 day supply of non-perishable goods) *if you have pets keep an extra supply of pet food and if you have a baby keep extra supply of infant formula*

Flashlight and extra batteries

First aid kit

IIX.

Environmental Trauma and Grief:

There is so much pain on Earth. Emotional responses like grief, sadness, anger, depression, anxiety, and dissociation are all normal responses to all the trauma on Earth. Give yourself space to mourn the state of Earth. Honor these feelings, but also try to transmute pain into action. These feelings may very well fuel our revolution.

We must fight and care for the living.

IX.

https://www.breakfreefromplastic.org/globalbrandauditreport2018

The biggest Polluter on the planet is the United States Military.

The United States Military has caused many environmental and health catastrophes. All the nuclear testing and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the use of chemical weapons in Vietnam and Cuba, have poisoned the people and land all over the world. This state sponsored violence begins here at home from native reservations to sacrifice zones in low income, black and brown neighborhoods. Our indigenous relatives here on Turtle Island throw down against pipelines, tar sands, uranium and coal mining on their land for water, the right to exist, survival. Here in the bay area there are several neighborhoods that are contaminated from naval bases like Treasure Island and Hunters Point that are still toxic. It is people of color and poor people that are most likely to live in these areas, be exposed to the toxins, and develop deadly diseases as a result of this ongoing violation and genocide.

XI.

Common Toxins

Many products contain toxic substances that can cause you harm. These toxins eventually leak into the environment which then causes ecological damage. Unfortunately, many chemicals are already in our waterways and soil. You can test your water and soil to see what toxins are in there. Look out for these common toxins and try to switch to alternatives.

DIY cleaning products

All-purpose cleaner:

Put a mixture of one part water with one part vinegar into a spray bottle. You can also add a few drops of essential oils like lemon, rosemary, lavender, or place a sprig of lavender or rosemary in the bottle.

Kitchen cleaner and deodorizer:

Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water then pour mixture onto sponge or rag.

Glass Cleaner:

Add 2 cups of water, ½ cup of white or apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup of rubbing alcohol, and 1 or 2 drops of an essential oil for scent. Pour into a spray bottle and wet a paper towel or cloth before wiping mirror or window.

Houseplants that purify the air:

Snake Plant / Lengua de Suegra

Bamboo Palm

Aloe Vera

Boston Fern

Peace Lily (toxic to cats)

Ficus / Weeping Fig

Dracaena

Spider Plant

Plants that purify soil (phytoremediation)

XII.

Things you can do (Sustainability Guide):

Reparations.

Support indigenous resistance movements and projects

Support environmental organizations led by BI-QTPOC

Study and undermine colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. Without an understanding of these systems of domination as the root causes to climate Armageddon and the oppression of black, indigenous, and brown people- none of the suggestions after this will aid the wound that is generations old.

Educate yourself on local and international environmental issues

Limit driving and flying

Eat less animal products and other high impact foods like almonds, cashews, quinoa, palm oil

Eat seasonal and local vegetables and fruits

Limit use of toxic products

Limit use of single-use plastic products(carry reusable containers and utensils)

Buy second hand

Pick up trash and recycle

From our radical, dreamy, anti-colonial imaginaire of a mother, Octavia Butler we leave you with an Earthseed verse from the Book of the Living…

“Kindness eases change, love quiets fear

And a sweet and powerful obsession blunts pain

Diverts rage and engages us in the greatest

The most intense of our chosen struggles”

We have a duty to ourselves, our relatives, and the earth. To abandon any of this is to abandon all those and that which makes us possible here now. Heal up, rise up, find your crew and act up..the time is up.

Ben Ful Links - March 1/2021

Source: benjaminfulford.net

Ben Ful Links - March 1/2021:

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) deserved to be publicly blamed for the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Khashoggi as outlined by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence report blaming MBS for the murder. https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsroom/reports-publications/reports-publications-2021/item/2186-assessing-the-saudi-government-s-role-in-the-killing-of-jamal-khashoggi

This was followed by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan opening the door to new possible sanctions against Saudi financial entities. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/25/joe-biden-speaks-to-saudi-arabias-king-salman-before-release-of-khashoggi-report

The Biden White House’s first steps in the Middle East already signal the breakup of the pro-American axis fashioned for the region by Trump, which hinged on a set of military and diplomatic pacts binding Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Israel.” https://www.debka.com/new-biden-policies-snub-saudi-prince-uncover-israels-reputed-nuclear-program/

Then Israel used its own warplanes painted to look like American warplanes to attack Iranian positions in Syria. Israel followed this by bombing one of its own ships and blaming this on “Iranian retaliation.” https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/202102261082201357-iranian-revenge-owner-of-uk-ship-hit-by-blast-in-gulf-of-oman-reportedly-close-to-mossad-chief/

To further underline the point, the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh was attacked on February 27th with missiles launched by unknown (i.e. Mossad) assailants. This prompted the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia to issue this warning:

“The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh urges all U.S. citizens to take immediate precautions and stay alert in case of additional attacks. Actions to take if you hear a loud…” https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/SaudiArabia.html#/

On the public fake perception front, we have a scene with a body double Biden boarding a plane. Central casting couldn’t find enough convincing-looking Secret Service agents so some with jeans and work boots had to do. The vehicle looks like a rental that hasn’t been washed around the door handles in weeks. Notice how the “Prez” starts running up the steps until he stumbles, forgetting China Joe can barely walk now. https://www.bitchute.com/video/iEQx0OzJW578/

Here’s a photo comparing Joe Biden’s press secretary Jen Psaki with Mark Rockefeller Zuckerberg. Clearly we are dealing with either close relatives, Mark in drag or clones.

MI6 and CIA sources both told us that “Right now, a second Nuremberg tribunal that is in preparation, with a class-action lawsuit being set up under the aegis of thousands of lawyers worldwide behind the American-German lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who is prosecuting those responsible for the Covid-19 scandal manipulated by the Davos Forum.” https://principia-scientific.com/lawyers-promise-nurember-trials-against-all-behind-covid-scam/

MI6 notes, “Our own independent counter analysis of the so-called public health emergency which brought our attention to the German lawyer who has a 100% chance of success in a Nuremberg type trial or civil Tort.”

Also, genuine Christian religious authorities issued this statement:

“By authority of the apostolic and prophetic office, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate urgently warns against vaccination autogenocide. the arch-heretic Bergoglio occupying the papacy notoriously promotes genocidal “vaccination for all”, saying, “It must be done!” Today, every Christian must know that Bergoglio, who worships the Pachamama demon, does not serve God but consciously opposes Him! “ http://vkpatriarhat.org/en/?p=19869

This means the fake Pope Francis who replaced the real one last year will be exposed, Pentagon sources promise.

In Canada meanwhile, an aware citizen showed how easy it is to push past the fake Covid tyranny by blowing right past “Covid-19” border controls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faQBnrr_Uqo&pbjreload=101&ab_channel=THEGREATREOPENING

There has also been a leak of the original plans for the “Covid-19” move towards totalitarianism. This leak, seen below, means the plans are no longer going to be allowed to go ahead.

These are just a few of the signs the fake pandemic is unraveling all over the world. What the liarcracy in charge of the West failed to realize is that no matter how long or how hard you try to avoid it, reality has a way of catching up with you. Reality is a harsh mistress.

Pentagon sources for their part told us the following statement is true:

“Pay close attention. You are watching a movie. A lot of what you are seeing is completely bullshit and fake. It’s so outrageous on purpose to get your attention at this point. It will continue until it has accomplished that goal fully. There is no Biden presidency. The real Biden was executed for his crimes long ago along with Clinton. No that woman in purple the other day wasn’t Hillary Clinton. You are seeing actors and some have masks.

That’s why Biden keeps referring to himself as the mask president. This means they are the good guys in this movie on the team of freedom. This whole election was fake along with a fake inauguration. Fake executive orders. Fake oval office. It’s all bullshit. Wake up. The military is right now controlling our country until the new elections in a couple of months. Insurrection Act has been signed.” https://gab.com/stephenhunter9/posts/105771054961975508

If California continues to trail-blaze the future for the rest of the United States, that future is now clear: It is a high taxation society with a huge, impoverished, unemployed and unemployable destitute class where the middle class is annihilated, organized gangs and general chaotic street crime including muggings, rapes and murders metastasize in all major urban areas and gangs more numerous and heavily armed than the police operate openly with impunity. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/california-collapsing

There will also be a massive offensive to remove this fake leadership soon, sources in Western and Eastern secret societies promise. For operational security reasons, we cannot disclose details. However, a hint can be found in the fact that an Air Force base in Texas is getting ready to test its infrastructure against an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack. https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2021/02/air-force-base-prepping-emp-vulnerability-tests/172325/

On the tropical icy islands of Ecuador

Squeezed between the Pacific Ocean and the Amazonian basin, the Ecuadorian Sierra hosts some of the world’s last tropical glaciers. These icy islands add on to Ecuador’s fame as THE biodiversity hotspot of planet Earth. Considering the diverse forms of life and landscapes along a 1500km traverse starting from the Galapagos Islands, extending to the Pacific coast, the Andean highlands and their glaciated volcanoes, ending up in the Amazonian jungle, we did realize that this fame is just the reality.

Ecuador is seven times larger than Switzerland hosting nearly double the population, 20% of which are indigenous people. The influence of the equatorial Pacific Ocean climate along with large amounts of moisture rising from the Amazonian basin make up a special tropical climate, where all sorts of life from bacteria and algae to plants and animals flourish in extraordinary diversity. This incredible mosaic of biota, colorful scenery, tropical forests and relaxed but shy people, is interrupted by a chain of icy islands that protrude into the sky. When Pachamama (Mother Earth) feels like it, these icy giants are transformed into rivers of lava, spitting ash high in the atmosphere their glaciers transforming to hot and dirty ice.

Reventador eruption just before our arrival.

During the last forty years, the ice loss of the Ecuadorian tropical glaciers have been melting faster than many other regions worldwide. Today the glaciers’ terminus is restricted to elevations of 4800m, whereas many glaciers facing the Pacific (west) side of the volcanoes are nearly extinct. This fact posed the first challenge we had not faced before; acclimatizing and working in high altitude. While this was expected, as we march into the “high altitude year” with forthcoming expeditions to Kyrgyzstan’s Tien Shan Mountains and the Nepali Himalayas, many other things were not expected, flavoring our Ecuador expedition with a strong blend of “tropical spices”.

What was not expected, yet for another time, was the endless negotiations with the Ecuadorian customs authorities in order to get clearance of our cargo, upon our arrival in the capital of Quito. During this time, we must have heard the word “mañana” coming out from the mouth of several officers more than 20 times. More striking though was the easiness of the “come back tomorrow and we’ll see…” mentality that obviously was a normality for the locals, but was testing our psyche in a relaxed but frustrating manner on a daily basis.

During the first week we could walk around Quito to get acclimatized for the high altitude. Here the team is on Pasochoa summit, 4200m. © Martina Schön

Armed with patience, wanting to smile and to bite in the same time, we were aided by the overall relaxed attitude that was buzzing around and by the Swiss Embassy in Quito. Day after day the tough climb of getting over and over several bureaucratic steps reaching all the way to Ministry level, was finally over after 20 days. To the positive side, this uneasy situation, gave us ample time to acclimatize and do a few reconnaissance trips figuring out the access to the most remote glaciers.

Having left the biggest challenge behind, we were finally free to venture into the tropical icy islands of Ecuador. At that stage our mission was straight forward, as we had to safely approach the glaciers’ terminus in order to get water and sediment samples and to run our incubations in fifteen streams charging off from the tropical ice. Overall, we ventured onto five volcanoes along a 150km north - south transect. Cayambe, Antisana, Cotopaxi, Chimborazo and Carihuairazo. Each of these icy giants revealed more unexpected encounters that faded the waiting times in Quito into oblivion.

The team expands

Along this expedition, Amy Holt from Florida State University joined our team. Amy’s postgraduate research focuses on the sources and cycling of dissolved organic carbon in mountain glacier environments. She analyses carbon dynamics through molecular scale analysis of organic carbon coming out from the mountain glaciers at the molecular scale. Besides the scientific context, a new member comprises a refreshing and diverse asset to the team and in Ecuador, this proved to be very right. Aside from Amy, we had the pleasure to closely work together with Patricio Andino, a limnologist from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador (PUCE), in Quito and head of Humboldt Trips, who along with Professor Veronica Crespo from PUCE, took up a humongous load of our logistical burdens and were also in charge for the safe storage of our samples. Patricio additionally took over the tedious task to educate us on many things concerning the history and cultural evolution of Ecuador, over several relaxed conversations after our long days in the field. Nevertheless, it was more his easiness of interacting with his compatriots and his Latino spiky temper and that help us get a thorough perception of the Ecuadorian culture.

Baltazar – A living legend

Upon arrival to Urbina, a small settlement to the east side of Chimborazo, the highest summit of Ecuador (6263m), we were to meet with a living legend; Baltazar – The last ice Merchant (El Ultimo Hielero - https://vimeo.com/66507747). The encounter was an inspiration to us in many ways. It is definitely touching to see how glacial recession and the lives of the people who depend on them are changing in our era. When the Last Ice Merchant could not harvest ice anymore as he was aging and the glaciers became more inaccessible, he opted to study and finish school, shining as a symbolic person with an endless lust for life. In science terms, we are now a bit more knowledgeable about the particulate and dissolved compounds and microbial life that exists in the ice cream we tasted, made from the Chimborazo ice, but this was a bit hard to explain to Baltazar and his brother. Perhaps we need more work on explaining to the locals the significance of our research, but one thing was for certain we took much inspiration from this pleasant meeting.

Muddy streams and bad weather

Because of their geographical position, the Ecuadorian glacier‐fed streams present some special hydrologic patterns and unique biodiversity when compared with similar streams of temperate and arctic glaciers. These patterns include severe diurnal variations in runoff, whereas the loose volcanic geological formations they drain result in sediment laden waters with high concentration of mud and sometimes leading to mass movements of debris. Even if the weather was on our side for the first part of our fieldwork, Cotopaxi showed us its teeth the first minute we arrived in the parking lot. Strong gusty winds, rain and snow were enough to thwart our first try up there and called for a fast retreat. Our second try was somewhat more successful, as we established ourselves in the Jose Rivas refuge at 4800m and despite the not-so-good-weather, we did manage to obtain samples from four glaciers living through some intense moments.

In this hostile and high altitude environment with muddy waters there survives an important taxonomic richness. For example, the taxon richness in the glacier‐fed streams of Antisana volcano is expected to be significantly reduced following glacier shrinking[1]. In this regard, we are all waiting for the lab analyses of the samples from Ecuador that will shed new light on how the microbial diversity richness will be affected from the tropical glaciers rapid shrinking.

Deeply immersed into the “Inexplorado of Equatorial Glaciers”, we left Ecuador with a sweet taste of satisfaction having established strong bonds with Amy and Patricio. This expedition would have not succeeded its goals without the invaluable help of Professor Veronica Crespo and Patricio Andino (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, in Quito), Mrs. Rita Hämmerli-Weschke (Swiss Ambassador in Ecuador) and Mr. Jaime Naranjo (Ecuador Ministry of Commerce).

Upon arrival in Europe, we were confronted to a new reality that we all have to adjust to. The sweet taste of the Ecuador expedition still holds strong in our minds, hearts, and fuels us with plenty of patience until this new situation will be surpassed. We do hope that this is the case for all the EPFL community.
