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!
