This village is located in Russia, thirty kilometers from the Ukrainian border just north of Kharkiv. The action was planned and carried out by the Anarchist Fighting-Slobozhanshchina group (БОАК-Слобожанщина).
The cables that ensured the operation of the relay antenna were set on fire using rags soaked in an incendiary mixture.

Editorial of the 1st issue:
To question all authority, to reject all kinds of power and to enter into conflict with them is a continuous fight. A fight in which we‘re trying to develop free relationships, beyond the existing order. But to create something new also always means to be drawn into the unknown and to dare new relationships, new projects, new steps, and experiments.

Grenoble (Isère): a Spie utility vehicle in flames in solidarity with anarchists.

Grenoble (Isère): a Spie utility vehicle in flames
Indymedia Lille, April 22, 2022
No matter who will be elected in the next round of elections, the State will continue to build cages to lock up those who do not want to and/or cannot fit into its boxes. Outside, the threat of these cages hangs over our heads, inside, they injure, torture and kill. That’s why on the night of April 13 a Spie van, the company that builds prisons, went up in flames.
Thoughts for Boris and Flo.

Electric silence will not shut us up, On the night of April 12-13, two electric car charging stations were sabotaged at the corner of Boulevard de Suisse with expanding foam and a hammer

Electric silence will not shut us up
On the night of April 12-13, two electric car charging stations were sabotaged at the corner of Boulevard de Suisse with expanding foam and a hammer.
Electric silence will not shut us up on the misery, pollution and cancers it produces. Nuclear power has only the expansion of the capitalist world as its horizon.
Let’s refuse fascist neo-liberalism, no matter what it looks like.
Neither nuclear nor coal
Neither Le Pen nor Macron

Barcelona, Spain – 27F [27th February]: Playing havoc with freedom

Barcelona 27F – Playing havoc with freedom
As of 27th February 2021 four comrades have been held in the prison of BRIANS 1 in Martorell (BC). Initially the arrests were 8. They are accused of attempted murder and of forming a criminal group following their participation in a demonstration in Barcelona where the side of a municipal police van burned for 30 seconds. There was a guard inside who got out calmly.
Clearly a frame-up. Plotted by the State in order to break off the demonstrations that in full COVID confinement agitated the main Spanish cities. In solidarity with rapper Pablo Hasél, still also a prisoner, for crimes of opinion.

Faenza, Italy – Friday 29th April: 10 years of the Capitano ACAB Anti-repression Fund

10 years of the Capitano ACAB Anti-repression Fund
Although commemorations are not our strong point, we want to use this occasion to relaunch the project of the anti-repression fund and bring it up to date. Introducing it to those who don’t know it, sustaining it for those who already follow and support it. An instrument at the service of those who struggle, who find themselves uncomfortable in this world and come up against its repressive meshes. A way of continuing collective or individual projects in solidarity with those who defy the cages of the law.

Antimilitarist Notes, On the Anarchist Struggle Against Conscription in Italy. For Social Rebellion Against the Exploiters and Murderers!

PDF A4 PRINT OUT:
A new pamphlet, circulated in London, recalling the proud rebellion and ‘total objection’ to militarisation and its logic from a period of escalated social-conflictuality in Italy in the 70s/80s.
“I don’t want these words, fruit of a gut refusal to do military service, deepened and enriched with the critique and practice from the movement of total objection that was a force in Italian anarchism at the time, to disappear into oblivion. Surely they are more than mere sheets of paper among the many clogging up the anteroom of the paper shredder.
And the protagonists? What has become of them? Would they say the same today decades later, and be ready to pay the consequences: years of prison or a life on the run? Or were their discourses forged with the fire of youth, arrogant in the ugly face of the warmongering State avid for their bodies and minds to dull and indoctrinate, train as insensate killers in uniform prepared also to be killed or maimed themselves? Does it matter, does it detract from the power that the words still hold? Still today military service is a plague in many parts of the world, and our hatred of armies, killing machines, prevents us from becoming indifferent to the plight of millions of young people all over the world should we just stop to think of them for a moment, all the more so as new tanks are beginning to trundle and populations are egging on thousands of enthusiastic youth (killers or corpses?) in staged photo shoots.

Rome, Italy: Paper bomb (bomba carta) against the Belarusian embassy

On a cold night in March we threw a paper bomb (DN: Bomba carta, like a powerful firecracker, card outer and blackpoweder inside) at the Belarusian embassy, located in Rome in the Montesacro district, in Via delle Alpi Apuane.

We know that the press agencies assumed that it was a gesture related to the involvement of the Belarusian regime with the Russian one in the ongoing war in Ukraine. It’s not just that. It is undeniable the servility of the government of Lukashenko, dictator of the country since 1994, towards his friend Putin; despite this, it is clear to us that this, as always happens when States and their respective interests clash, is a war between powers to redefine new geopolitical balances, to share new/old spheres of economic, military and political influence.

This war full of blood and sowing of death is the responsibility of Belarus as well as of Europe, NATO, Russia and the Ukrainian government itself. There are no possible sides in this kind of wars, if not on the side of those who defect, those who resist and those who counterattack the real enemies.

Necessary clarifications concerning political imprisonment in Chile

Necessary clarifications concerning political imprisonment in Chile in the face of opportunistic liberal denialism dressed up as solidarity and support groups.
1. Political imprisonment in Chile has always existed because it is inherent to the authoritarian world and the logic of domination and did not begin on October 18, 2019 with the so-called “social explosion”.
2. From 1990 to date, continuously, there are people who have been part of different expressions of anti-capitalist combat who have fought insistently against the State and on that path have encountered prison, clandestinity or death.

EDITORIAL
The nuclear waste burial centre at Bure, in the Meuse, gives all of us multiple possibilities for fighting on the one hand against this nuclear garbage bin, but more globally against nuclear power and all the companies and humans that collaborate with it. Andra’s project is but an aspect of this world that cannot stop using always more energy to ensure this society runs as smoothly as possible. Like so many others, this devastating energy, once used, needs a dump site. And it is of course with the support of Meusian local politicians and institutions, in exchange for payoffs for the region, that this ecocidal project could take place here. Numerous companies are taking part, be it construction giant Vinci or Enedis (ex-EDF) and its energy avatars.
Engineers from Ingérop and its subsidiaries are also allowing for the realization of this waste site buried kilometers deep. Most of these companies are present everywhere, which allows for an extension of the conflict (cf the blog lesmonstresdecigeo.noblogs.org, which gives multiple infos of the different promoters and collaborators in this project). This isn’t only going on at Bure, but everywhere.

“In the end, on reflection, there is nothing new under the sun. Since the emergence of cities, economic power has basically always walked on the same two feet: energy and extraction. From slavery to nuclear power, economic progress adds up the energy sources that give more and more power to the dominant, and vice versa, because it is the exploitation of energy sources that directly fuels domination. Just as the extraction of oil has released a massive energy force, millions of years old, giving unprecedented dimensions to industrialism and war on a
global scale, the digital and electrified economy depends on the speed of extraction of the metals it needs. This is how the front lines are drawn, where terrible battles are and will be fought.
