In the wake of what appears to have been an impeccably coordinated attack on #CGL equipment two nights ago, liberal proponents of nonviolence have begun to cast doubt on the motives of the attack and to suggest that it was a false flag attack carried out by the RCMP. (1) 
To be clear, we don't know the identity of the attackers and we don't want to. We express our unwavering solidarity with #Wetsuweten land defenders & their supporters who may face increased levels of state repression in the days & weeks ahead. We wish them unity & strength. (2)
The proposed pipeline corridors that run through the unceded territories of the Wet'suwet'en, Gitxsan, Secwepemc, & other Indigenous communities of so-called BC are some of the most important front-lines of the #ClimateCrisis in the world. The stakes are incredibly high. (3)
The Indigenous inhabitants of Turtle Island have a proud history of militant resistance to colonial infrastructure development projects. Rather than discrediting their struggles, these acts of resistance have been sources of inspiration to many around the world. (4)
Resistance movements that use a diversity of tactics to achieve their objectives tend to be more successful than those that prioritize strict adherence to non-violence. Effective tactics can sometimes require taking risks. (5)
This is not the first time this debate has played out & it won't be the last. We've put together this list of videos & podcasts that we've produced, in order to provide a resource for those who are feeling confused or who are engaged in online debates with pacifists. (7)
In this video from last year, Sleydo' explains what is at stake for the Wet'suwet'en people in their fight against CGL. She makes it clear that Coastal GasLink is trespassing and breaking Wet'suwet'en law. (8)

Another installment of our Indigenous History series, where Gord Hill discusses Mi'kmaqi resistance to fracked gas company SWN - a great example of the benefits of using a diversity of tactics in pursuit of a shared goal. (11)

And finally, in the first System Fail, we looked at the conspiracy theories around #BrickGate, where the state dusted off its 'Outside Agitators' trope to try and put down the rebellion - and a bunch of people fell for it. (17)

We whole-heartedly hope that the mystery of who carried out this action is never solved, and that it contributes to the broader goal of blocking pipeline construction and convincing CGL's investors to pull out from the project. #AllOutForWedzinKwa (18)
