Berlin (Germany): fire to the cell towers of technological progress and militarization

[On the night of Saturday to Sunday, July 7, two cell towers went up in smoke in Berlin. One of them was located in the Tempelhof district, more precisely in the aptly named Attilastraße, where the fire was reported at around 2am. The tower was located on the site of a cell phone operator, and the State Protection Service (Staatsschutz) was in charge of the investigation. The following day, a claim was published on de.indymedia].


Attack on militarization and spectacle / Attack on two cell towers

Yesterday, cell towers were set on fire at two different locations in Berlin.

This action is a contribution to the struggle against technology, militarization and domination.

In recent years, we have become accustomed to being surrounded by more and more cell towers, which have become part of our environment. These antennae and the cell phone network are essential to enable the digitization of our lives, to realize the Smart City and to develop (military) technology and social control in general.

Today, we can see how technology plays a fundamental role in all wars, and how its development is advancing, in order to kill with greater “precision” thanks to artificial intelligence, algorithms or data collected on the Internet, analyzed with the help of high-tech.

At the same time, technology is a pillar of the society of the spectacle, which is particularly visible in these days of the European Men’s Football Championship [taking place in Germany from June 14 to July 14], when thousands of people proudly wave their country’s flag, while nationalism and machismo rise everywhere. While the mass media and “bread and circuses” occupy attention and play politics, Germany proclaims a military “epochal change” at the same time, and Fortress Europe continues to militarize. While the mass media entertain people with soccer, wars and environmental destruction continue, and refugees are more numerous than ever. People must forget that for the show to go on, it is necessary for others to pay the price and die trying to migrate, in mines and in wars.

For these reasons and many others, we believe it’s necessary to attack technological progress, to destabilize and interrupt the show. Because by being attentive, by looking for the right moment and the right location, domination remains vulnerable. A little time, will and fire will do the rest.

We send fiery greetings to Benni, accused of throwing molotovs at cops during the demonstration for the judgment of the Antifa-Ost trial.

Fiery greetings to Maja, accused of attacks on Nazis and recently extradited to Budapest.

Greetings also to Hanna, who is also threatened with extradition.

Fiery greetings to the Berlin comrades, accused of “conspiracy to commit a crime (arson)”, and fiery greetings to all those fighting for freedom, inside and outside prison.
