No Cop City Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans (USA)

No Cop City Anywhere: Governor Unveils Cop City NJ Plans
Posted on March 29, 2023

We begin by quoting the recent press release from the governor’s office:

“The Governor’s budget continues to support initiatives that keep communities safe, including supporting law enforcement personnel and community-led prevention programs. As part of the Governor’s efforts to reduce violent crime in the State, the budget makes significant investments in the Division of Criminal Justice to staff new units and expand existing units with a focus on reducing gun violence, auto thefts, and exploitation, such as human trafficking and labor cases.

The budget also makes significant investments to strengthen the ranks of the New Jersey State Police, allocating $120 million to begin building a new training center for the next generation of New Jersey State Police and proposing an additional $5 million for the 166th State Trooper recruit class.

EN/EL/FR/ Statement Concerning S., Comrade in Life-Threatening Condition Following Protest in Sainte-Soline,in France.

Statement Concerning S., Comrade in Life-Threatening Condition Following Protest in Sainte-Soline, France

On Saturday the 25th of March at Sainte-Soline, our comrade S. was hit in the head by an explosive grenade during the protest against the giant retention basins. Despite his critical condition, the prefecture deliberately prevented the emergency services from intervening at first, and from transporting him to a special care unit in a second phase. He is currently in a neurosurgical intensive care. He is still in a critical condition.

The massive outbreak of violence that the protesters have gone through led to hundreds of wounded, and many of them suffered serious physical injuries, as we can read in the various reports available. The 30 000 protesters came with the aim to block the construction site of the Sainte-Soline giant retention basin, which is a water-appropriation project defended by a minority for the benefit of a capitalist model that has nothing more to defend other than death. The violence of the armed wing of the democratic State illustrates it vividly.

(Argentina) Claim for Arson of Federal Police Vehicle

Claim for Arson of Federal Police Vehicle

Insurrectional Solidarity with Alfredo.

Subversion may sleep, but it will never disappear!

One night in the first week of february we set a car of the central police force of the PFA on fire. We had a list of their license plates. This “unit” always parked at Urquiza and Av. Belgrano. This action is a return to the path of attack.

It is not solidarity. It is the attack for those who are locked up, dead and clandestine. Down with 41 bis. Strength and brotherhood with Alfrdo.

Strength and brotherhood to the combatant prisoners with long and short sentences.

Determination is our’s, if not now, when !!!!!. Determination is our’s.

subversive delirium group. Circumstantially incendiary.

INTRANSIGENCE TAKEN FROM THE DARDI n°11 – Foglio anarchico aperiodico (Italy)

INTRANSIGENCE (INTRANSIGENZA)

There is nothing more disgusting than executioners when they parade as pitiful defenders of Justice. Nothing is more hypocritical than the statements against capital punishment made by upright State representatives against dictatorial regimes that use it to suppress revolts.

In Iran at least the State has the decency to take responsibility for the deaths of its persecuted, inconceivable for a modern, democratic progressive State, which has far more subtle ways to get rid of them.
After all, why bother to kill the rebels who end up in one’s hands? Better to bury them alive in a concrete hole where time and the resulting physical and mental decomposition will take care of the rest. Provided that they do not rehabilitate, of course, which would mean them surrendering their conscience to become dissociated and collaborators. How many, in Italy alone, even if with different experiences, are in the same condition? And let it be clear, this does not detract from the brutality perpetrated against those who see their freedom and dignity taken away, for a short or long period, within the aseptic perimeter of a prison, suffering torture of all kinds by honest champions of order, family men and sons of the homeland.

Italy: The request for deferral of Alfredo Cospito’s sentence to house arrest rejected by the Supervisory Courts of Milan and Sassari

The request for deferral of Alfredo Cospito’s sentence to house arrest rejected by the Supervisory Courts of Milan and Sassari

27/3/23: The Supervisory Court of Milan replied by rejecting the request for house arrest for health reasons for anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito.

At the same time the Sassari court reached the same decision. In both cases with the long motivations already written. The comrade’s behaviour is defined instrumental in obtaining changes in political and judicial decisions.

While contradictions are accumulating within the political and judicial apparatuses (e.g., opinion of the National Anti-Mafia and Anti-Terrorism Directorate, the Attorney General of the Supreme Court, Sibilla re-examination, etc.) each time one is faced with an organ that has the power to resolve the question raised by the comrade’s struggle immediately, the party of the death sentence applies all its political power to block any possible way out.

Storm Warnings, issue 59-60 (December 2022)

The final issue of Storm warnings, anarchist bulletin for the social war, issue 59-60(December 2022) came out. It is the full English translation of Avis de Tempêtes.

Storm warnings, issue 59-60 (December 15, 2022) :

For reading

For printing (A4)

For printing (Letter)

“To conclude, if it has always been a pleasure to write and elaborate each issue of this bulletin, we must also say that after five years, the desire to put an end to it has arrived. A certain weariness in seeking to ensure this regularity, the sometimes difficult lack of feedback or intertwined debates,
the observation of a redundancy in our ways of approaching the vast questions of action, certainly also the limits of the instrument itself, are all elements that contributed to our decision to conclude this experience of Storm Warnings. Such a decision might seem paradoxical, knowing that
the interest and need we feel for such spaces of reflection and elaboration are still alive, but the instrument we have forged over the years does not lend itself to a new start or a new format. It seemed to us more appropriate to make it disappear, so that other projects could see the light of day.”

Electricity pylon probably sabotaged at a power plant in Germany
dpa (Deutsche Presse-Agentur), 12 March 2023

An 80-meter-high electricity pylon has fallen at the site of an open-pit coal mine in Garzweiler in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The operator of one of the country’s largest power plants, RWE, believes it could be an act of sabotage.

RWE has already been the target of various demonstrations by environmental activists, which have sometimes degenerated, and therefore assumes that the tower was damaged with the intention that it should collapse. A spokesman for the company told the dpa agency on Saturday that if this is sabotage “we condemn it in the strongest terms. The police have confirmed the probable intervention of outsiders”.

According to RWE, the tower supplies the mine with electricity. For safety reasons, two of the four power circuits on the tower in question have been cut off. The Garzweiler mine remains in operation and the power plant can continue to function.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : solidarity sabotage of the railway’s power

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) : solidarity sabotage of the railway’s power

IAATA, March 12, 2023

Found on twitter liO Train SNCF Occitanie@lio_train_sncf
To make Narbonne > Toulouse, there is no liO Train before 19:08 as indicated on the timetable. In the opposite direction, the liO Train are delayed because SNCF installations have been damaged towards Toulouse

Solidarity with the strikes

During the night of March 9th to 10th, a damage of the railway electrical supply took place south of Toulouse. Given the presence of fiber optics along the tracks, it is likely that this was also impacted.
We are among those who refuse the recuperation of the central unions in their little dance of power. Before this social movement, strikes, blackouts and direct actions against fiber optics, the deployment of 5G, had already begun. They will continue.

Political position of the captured member of the OR. Anarchist Action Thanos Hatzianggelou for the beginning of the trial of the Organization on 4 April, 2023 at the Larissa Criminal Court of Appeal. (Greece)

Anarchist Action Does Not Bow to Bourgeois Justice – Message from Thanos Hatziangelou

The cruel and indecisive judges, the ones who in the majority of cases apply harsh sentences – often beyond the limits of human life – the ones who put people in prison for debts of a few thousand euros, those who make illegal and abusive any strike that goes out of the ordinary, those who throw thousands of families who have taken loans from the banks out of their homes, have not condemned ANY politician or executive of big business for plundering public wealth. They have not condemned ANY war criminals for facilitating NATO troops to participate in their criminal interventions in a number of other colonies around the globe. They have not convicted ANY shipowner for the countless environmental violations that poison our lives. They have NEVER condemned pharmaceutical company executives who bribe doctors and government officials to control the drug market, which translates into thousands of deaths of grassroots people. They have hardly condemned any low ranking police officials who murder in the streets, beat mercilessly at demonstrations and rape in police stations. They have not condemned ANY high ranking Greek police officer involved in human trafficking, drug trafficking and smuggling of fuel and cigarettes. They have not convicted ANY high level society rapists who use their financial power on the bodies of the weak by destroying their lives.

– Direct Action Cells

On April 4, the agents of bourgeois justice want to put Anarchist Action in the dock of state terrorism. On the same benches where the state and capitalist crime of Tempe* will be washed away, tyranny will once again face the fighting forces of revolutionary violence, subversion and social liberation.

Update on the medical situationdi Alfredo Cospito, ion hunger strike since October 20th against 41 bis and life sentence without appeal.

We learn from the press of the regime that today (21st March 2023) that the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike for five months had a heart attack, the comrade – they write – “was dying”. The incident allegedly began when the comrade felt a tremor in his hand and alerted a guard. “After ten minutes the nurse and the doctor arrived, shouting and saying that they had seen a heart problem from the monitoring. They were very concerned, he was dying.” […]. The crisis reportedly subsided after an injection of a large dose of potassium.

The results of tests carried out yesterday were also released today. According to the doctors, the values indicate that Alfredo may now have suffered permanent neurological damage and could be paralysed.

Strategies for Countering Police Access to DNA Data

Chapter 10: OPSEC for Informational Self-Determination

Languages: German

Download: PDF (read, A4 booklet, letter booklet) • TEXT

OPSEC is military and intelligence jargon for “operational security” and refers to techniques designed to prevent their people being caught during or after an “operation”.

The fact that we have to talk about such things at all when it comes to issues like exercising the fundamental right to freedom of assembly or small acts of civil disobedience is a clear indication of how far the state’s mania for security and collection has already developed. It is generally better to invest resources on pushing back the security apparatus than in a technical arms race with state agencies.

Nevertheless, there is of course nothing wrong with trying to avoid giving unnecessary material to state authorities and exercising the right to informational self-determination. To prevent or at least significantly limit leaving casual traces, it is necessary to wear new gloves, a face mask, a hair net or, even better, closed headgear (e.g. a swimming cap) and washed clothes with long sleeves and pant legs[1].
