A cargo flight will haul 14 tons of nitrocellulose from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York to Israeli weapons manufacturer IMI Systems.

The cargo flight by Challenge Airlines Israel is scheduled to depart from JFK at 2 p.m. on Saturday and land in Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Sunday, according to flight information. The manufacturer of the materials is not known, but the cargo’s sender is listed as deriving from a Los Angeles ZIP code. While other weapons-related shipments have been sent from JFK to Israel, Saturday’s cargo flight is the first confirmed shipment of nitrocellulose and the largest single shipment of explosives to pass through New York City’s busiest airport, said journalist and lawyer Roman Shortall, co-founder of The Ditch.

      The mask off maersk campaign is really all we have.

      Also shit is usually nearly impossible to get to, a security clearance is needed to get into the places that produce / deliver these.

      There was an attempt done in Newport News to stop a ship, it didn’t last too long though.

      Most of the action is done to banks / ATMs, gluing the ATMs, etc.
