DONT USE MOLOTOVS: Some notes on safely burning teslas (or other cars)

Posted on by dirtysouth

Seeing the wave of tesla arsons has made us incredibly happy. But we are worried to see that many of these attacks have used molotov’s

-Molotov’s aren’t guaranteed to ignite/explode. There have been many cases where police have recovered intact molotov cocktails from attacks. that is a shitton of forensic evidence that detectives WILL exploit.
-Even if the bottle does shatter, the shards of glass still likely contain tons of valuable forensic evidence
-Molotov’s are loud and immediately create a big flame, all of which kills the element of surprise needed for arson attacks, which runs the risk of you getting captured or the fire gets extinguished much quicker

ALTERNATIVES: Fire starter cubes, sometimes paired with liquid accelerate in plastic bottles

Fire starter cubes are probably the best way to burn a car.
-they are guaranteed to self destruct
-they are discreet. By the time the vehicle has been engulfed in flames you will have had ample time to escape
-they are widely available, small, lightweight, and incredibly simple to use

Instructions:
We haven’t tested if a singular small cube is sufficient, but we recommend using at least a pack/bundle of them per vehicle. Placing them on top of a front tire is the best for both electric and gas vehicles. Placing them under the vehicle next to the tire could also be a good option as the flame is even more hidden, but we haven’t tested it ( if you do it this way it would probably be smart to also incorporate a plastic bottle of accelerate to ensure the flames are high and and strong enough)

Whatever design you use, you must test it beforehand and guarantee that every part of the device will be destroyed in a timely manner.

Don’t smash windows if you’re going to burn something because it is loud and increases the risk of leaving dna. Be careful not to touch anything at the scene of the crime

Exercise abundant caution obtaining and handling materials. The no trace project (notrace.how) has great resources for avoiding surveillance and mitigating forensic evidence.

Stay anonymous, get home safe, and go torch the ever loving shit out of every part of this miserable society.

Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center in Georgia

Posted on by dirtysouth

Anonymous Submission:

At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of ​​sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.

This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.

Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.

FBI launches task force targeting anti-Tesla ‘domestic terrorism’

Posted on by dirtysouth

March 24, 2025

The FBI launched a task force Monday to try to nail the criminals setting fire to Tesla vehicles and charging stations — calling the acts “domestic terrorism” and eyeing an anarchy blog calling for more.

The bureau has received reports of 48 instances so far this month related to Tesla vehicles, dealerships and charging stations and is investigating at least seven of them in conjunction with local law enforcement, The Post has learned.

The agency’s newly formed 10-person task force will deploy ATF personnel — special agents and intelligence analysts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the Treasury Department — and personnel from the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, including its Domestic Terrorism Operations Section and Weapons of Mass Destruction.

ATF is also embedding personnel in FBI field offices starting with San Antonio, Texas, where some of the Molotov cocktail attacks have been carried out.

President Trump has vowed to be tough on the violent vandals behind the cross-country attacks targeting billionaire buddy and adviser Elon Musk’s company.

He recently suggested sending the criminals to serve 20-year jail sentences in El Salvador, where the US recently rented out a prison for deported illegal alleged gang members.

The FBI is treating the attacks as “domestic terrorism” and tracking people who threaten to carry out vandalism on the electric-vehicle company as part of a revenge plot on Musk’s government intervention as head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency.

Three people have been arrested so far for some of the attacks, which involved lighting Tesla cars and charging stations on fire. US Attorney General Pam Bondi has also labeled the cases “domestic terrorism” and stressed that the individuals are facing up to 20 years in prison.

The FBI is looking over security camera footage and has gotten access to cell-phone locations for some of the unsolved cases.

The incidents so far include:

  • A Tesla Cybertruck being lit on fire in a storage lot in Seattle, Washington.
  • Seven Tesla charging stations set ablaze in Littleton, Massachusetts.
  • Tesla vehicles set on fire with two Molotov cocktails in Austin, Texas.
  • Tesla vehicles being shot at and lit on fire with Molotov cocktails in Las Vegas, Nevada.
  • A Tesla dealership being shot at in Tigard, Oregon.
  • Two Molotov cocktails targeting Cybertrucks in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • A charging station being damaged with drilled holes in Seattle, Oregon.
  • A Tesla dealership and vehicles being spray-painted with “F–k Nazi Scum” and “F–k Nazis” in San Diego, California.
  • A battery station being set on fire and spray-painted with “BURN NAZI CAR KILL ELON” in Seattle, Oregon.

The bureau also is looking into an anarchist blog being run out of Salt Lake City, Utah, and tracking a mass protest called “Tesla Takedown” scheduled for March 29 calling for 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms and charging stations.

In addition , the FBI identified the site Dogeque.st that has information doxxing Tesla employees and locations across the country and being run out of the African country of Sao Tome.

Bomb squad removes incendiary devices from Tesla dealer in Austin, Texas

Amid the federal government’s actions to contain these attacks, police in Austin, Texas, got a call Monday morning about possible hazardous materials found at a Tesla dealership.

Responding officers reported “suspicious devices” and called in a bomb squad, which determined the devices to be “incendiary” and took them away without incident, Austin police said.

Police declined to release further details about the type of incendiary devices they found, noting the FBI is now the lead agency investigating the incident.
