CLIMATE JUSTICE = NO BORDERS
NO BORDERS DAY OF ACTION DEC 14
MEET AT 11:00 @ ISRAEL PLADS
AND MARCH TO THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE
The debate over climate change and global warming management
at the UN is a struggle among the national ruling establishments for
their own interests on the international diplomatic stage. While there
is concern that climate change can have unforeseen political and
economic consequences, these competing capitalist states have no means
of seriously addressing the issue, other than making preparations for
cracking down on social unrest.
Elites globally have pushed the criminalization of the movement of
people for years now. Their latest excuse for this is climate change.
They talk about people migrating for survival and better lives as a
security threat that justifies border repression and moves towards a
more defined global apartheid. Their reckless pursuit of profit has
caused the climate crisis, and now they want to criminalize those who
are absorbing the effects of their greed.
The military industrial complex is the epitome of their hypocrisy.
The majority of wars fought in the last decades have been resource wars
fought to secure government and corporations access to the planets
resources. Their exploitation of resources is the cause of the climate
crisis. Now climate change has joined their wars as the two major
causes of forced migration. At the same time, the war machine is the
instrument of the criminalization of migration.
In addition, “The Stockholm Program”, which is set to be passed in
december will foster more surveillance of the internet, common access
to European police databases and more cross-border police collaboration
to fight "illegal migration". It will force countries outside the EU to
take back their citizens who enter the EU without a visa and it will
push the use of biometrics and radio-frequency identification (RfiD)
and enlargement of the police agency Europol and the EU border watchdog
Frontex.
In the face of this, refugees act in defiance of the borders when
they move for survival and a better life. They migrate and in doing so
refuse to comply with laws that put profit and control above life and
dignity.
To counter this act of defiance and hope, governments, corporations
and elites foster and promoted racism globally. The COP 15 is another
instrument for this. Their definition of a ‘good target’ already
displaces hundreds of thousands of people. Their false solutions
condemn millions more to suffering to maintain their profits.
It is fitting that Denmark hosts such a conference as COP15. The
Danish state actively fostered racism in order to justify the eviction
and deportation of the Iraqi’s who occupied a church in Copenhagen for
three months earlier this year. But like many of the other governments
participating in the COP the Danish elites are not confining their
racism to the Danish context. The recent Danish Prime Minister, Anders
Fogh Rasmussen is now the leader of NATO. He has been pushing for
‘security crackdowns’ and reinforcement of fortress Europe to prevent
migration from places more immediately effected by elite caused climate
change. To the NATO alliance an array of threats exist in today’s
uncertain world, from terrorism and transnational crime to unrest
following food crises, extensive migration to the countries of the NATO
alliance and social conflicts as a result of climate change. On a just
planet- his job would not exist.
The war machine would fold and so would borders.
On December 14th we will take action to create this world. In the
context of the COP 15 we will take on the most potent site of their
sickness here in Denmark- the Ministry of Defense. We want to breakdown
their control, disrupt their surveillance and confront their
repression. We will open their offices to the weather they are changing
and to the people they lock out. Our action starts at 11am at
Rådhuspladsen and will march to the Ministry of Defence!
