Philly Anti-Capitalist Publishes Zine Glorifying Attacks On Ghost Robotics; Notes Pending Disclosure Of Company's New Address
Source:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 7 the anarchist publication Philly Anti-Capitalist (phlanticap.noblogs.org) published a 9 page zine, The Attack on Ghost Robotics, that combines a comic narrative of anarchist attacks on Philadelphia based US robotics defense contractor Ghost Robotics with report backs and communiques from prior actions. The post explicitly notes that Ghost Robotics will be required to reveal a new corporate address in its next quarterly filing, and frames the larger campaign as ongoing despite recent federal convictions of activists in Texas. The zine is filed by the publisher under the tags attack, colonialism, militarism, and technology.
ANALYSIS
Ghost Robotics is a US Department of Defense contractor producing quadruped robotic platforms used by the Air Force for base security and by international militaries. The company has been a recurring target of US anarchist direct action; previous incidents include attacks on the company's prior facility, demonstrations at the University of Pennsylvania (a customer and former host), and physical confrontation at the home of a UPenn dean associated with the Ghost Robotics relationship.
The zine's reference to Ghost Robotics being legally required to publicly disclose its new corporate address in the next quarterly SEC filing is, in effect, target identification through a public records vector. Phlanticap's framing pairs that disclosure with active call to action language and explicit valorization of past attacks.
The reference to comrades convicted in Texas refers to the March 2026 federal terrorism conviction of nine defendants in connection with the Alvarado ICE facility incident, the first successful federal terrorism prosecution of self identified antifa members. The zine acknowledges those convictions while continuing the call for direct action, indicating the prosecution has not deterred the publishing network.
The publication URL has been archived on noblogs.org, an anarchist hosting collective, and the zine PDF is hosted on gumroad. The originating comic author distributes additional content through Patreon.
