Anonymous submission: TRICK OR TREATING AT JASSY’S HOUSE
Need a new place to dump your trash, paint, eggs, silly string, or any other undesirable objects? Look no further than [redacted address] – the home of Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.
It can be easy to forget that genocide enabling companies are made up of real people who make real decisions that lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. It’s for this reason that a group of community members took it upon themselves to egg and spray paint Andy Jassy’s house in the early hours of halloween morning.
Background:
Amazon Web Services (and Google Cloud) is currently in contract with the israeli occupation forces (iOF) via Project Nimbus – a 1.22 billion dollar deal that provides cloud computing infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and other technology services to the iOF, which has drastically sped up israel’s ability to surveil, track, target, and bomb Palestinians since 2021. In an expose published by +972 Mag, israeli occupation forces gush at the the “exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud” and it allowing the IOF to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza. israeli military operatives rely so much on Amazon’s AWS so that one source who used the cloud-based system during the current war described making “orders from Amazon” for information while carrying out their operational tasks, and working with two screens — one connected to the army’s private systems, and the other connected to AWS.
Seattlites specifically, and all people in the so-called US have a unique position to disrupt big tech like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta, and the companies and people who are complicit in and actively profiting off of genocide deserve no peace.
