Leipzig (Germany): against militarism, a relay antenna goes up in flames

via: sansnom

We attacked German railroads (Deutsche Bahn, DB) as part of the war logistics in Europe. We have not forgotten that this company (even if it is currently trying to clear its image with “humanitarian” deliveries to Ukraine) has been involved in the delivery of weapons for years. Our friends in Rojava, in particular, are killed every day with weapons supplied by DB. The cooperation between the German railroads and the fascist regime of Erdogan is close.

And so, in the night of 28-29 April, we set fire to a DB antenna in Markkleeberg. The line on which the antenna is located was and still is used for the delivery of weapons. We are trying to counteract the current war logic with the means at our disposal and want the material damage to be as great as possible. Until the line is no longer used for the transport of military vehicles, cars, coal and other destructive raw materials that are diligently being sent around the world.

Moscow, Russia: “If the day fades away forever…”

via:sansnom

On May 2, 2022 in the heart of Moscow, in Revolution Square near the monument to Karl Marx, an unknown person threw a molotov against the OMON (Russian Ministry of Interior Special Forces) riot vehicles that are always parked there. The flames managed to eat away at one of them for several minutes before being extinguished.

The unknown person was unfortunately arrested immediately. This is 45-year-old Vitaly Koltsov, a father of three and a philosophy graduate, who had previously participated in anti-government rallies – in 2017, he was arrested for disobeying the cops, and in 2019 for violating “the established order” to hold rallies.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Taking responsibility for a set fire to Demourtzidis’ professional car, by Nightriders of the Flame

Thessaloniki, Greece: – Taking responsibility

Life in the metropolises is suffocating. In recent years, we have seen the urban beast grow larger sucking life into its path. Cops and snitches lurk around every corner, poverty and deprivation are reflected in every aspect of daily life, oppression (labour, sexual, racial) is a brutal reality, while the area of ‘freedoms’ and ‘breaths of life’ are narrowing more and more. In this suffocating grip, capitalism comes to remind us that we are expendable material for its machines, which produce endlessly and thirst for profit.

The gentrification projects are the blunt admission by the state that we exist simply to produce for them. Squares, parks, neighbourhoods that were once appropriable by their inhabitants are being gentrified by labour and handed over to tourists and urban bourgeois. Expensive cafes, airbnb, surveillance cameras, growing tourist population, overall increase in the cost of living are some of the consequences of redevelopment. Consequences that result in the displacement of people who once lived in these neighbourhoods as they can no longer cope with the new situation. So so-called ‘gentrification’ is thus creating ‘fortress’ (urban) areas with increased social control and repression while other urban areas are ghettoised and impoverished. The segregation of neighbourhoods within cities and their pronounced differentiations clearly facilitates the work of the cops in terms of mapping and surveillance.

11th June: presence in solidarity with Juan

“We must struggle and fight for disproportion to be crushed”.
And whatever path we tread, always with our hearts!
For Anarchy!
(Juan Sorroche – Prison of Terni AS2 – February 2019)

Because we have known the courage and tenderness of it.
Because this is the way among comrades of an ideal.
Because whoever attacked that League headquarters gave a contribution of humanity in a world more and more inhuman by the day.
Because life is too short not to be filled with ardent dreams.

JUNE 11 – 9AM – SOLIDARITY PRESENCE OUTSIDE THE COURT OF TREVISO

-Update: Monica Caballero and Francisco del Solar, Anarchists imprisoned in the Chilean region.
In Solidarity with the Antiauthoritarian Library Sacco and Vanzetti , in the Territory dominated by the Chilean State.

In memory of the anarchist Mauricio Morales, who died in action when he tried to attack the Chilean prison guards school on May 22nd 2009. He was carrying an explosive device in his backpack, which detonated prematurely. Since then every year, his friends, comrades and those who never met him commemorate him in different places in the Chilean Region and also in the world. Mauricio was not only a bomb that exploded, but also a comrade who developed itself in different spaces and in many ways, understanding that every way of attacking this violent system of life is equally valid. This is how today we can still read his texts, thoughts, poems and songs, in which he left his ideas.
For anarchy and against all authority, we will remain the worst black plague! Continue reading Soli event in memory of Anarchist Mauricio Morales (Germany) →

The excavator goes boom! Fire and flames for the project to link the A66 and A661 freeways

On the night of April 21-22, 2022, in solidarity with the occupation of Fecher Woods, we set fire to an excavator and a drill of the company Geomer-Kampfmittelbergung and destroyed other means of devastation.

Until recently, the place where this company works was still occupied by a Wagenplatz, which had to give way to the extension of the A66/1.
In addition, this almost completely destroyed site is located right next to the occupied Fecher woods. Continue reading Frankfurt am Main, Germany: The excavator goes boom! →

Italy – Actions against war

Banners and posters were put up in Alta Valsusa against the military exercise “Volpe Bianca”. Here is a contribution and some pictures:

“While war looms once again at the door of Europe; while bombs are raining down over the heads of thousands of people; while the umpteenth wrestling between opposing imperialisms is underway taking its toll in blood, the roads and mountains of Alta Valsusa, Sestriere and Val Chisone are literally occupied by NATO troops. Over these days Italian, French and US military are amusing themselves playing war games with their loads of weapons and armoured vehicles in total disrespect for those who are suffering war, are dying of it. For years “Volpe Bianca” exercises have been carried out in our mountains at this time of year, between ski racing and Alpine fanfares. The deafening silence that surrounds this macabre theatre is being broken by a simple but for us very important voice. The streets and squares of Sestriere filled up with leaflets and banners. Hairpin bends on the hill were painted with words refusing to welcome the bearers of death and destruction. Refusal and boycott of war also start here.

No peace for those who make war!

NATO murderers out of our mountains!

No more death games in Valsusa!

Some inhabitants of Valsusa”

Turin, Italy – Cassation for operation Scripta Manent: solidarity initiative in Turin

On 25th May the Court of Cassation will decide concerning the trial related to the “Scripta Manent” investigation at which one comrade, Anna, was sentenced to 16 years and 6 months, and three comrades, Nicola, Marco and Alfredo to 13 months, 21 months and 20 years respectively. 

Among the charges they were sentenced for, as well as that of subversive association and related crimes, for some there is the charge of massacre. As always the State is implementing a policy of reversal of responsibilities given that it is the State itself that commits massacres unpunished in wars, prisons, seas, workplaces, streets, every day in its constant affirmed practice of the monopoly of violence.

Athens,Greece: Action claim by queers (and) anarchists

Action claim by queers (and) anarchists

The outcome of Zackie’s murder did not come as a surprise. On the contrary, it filled us with more anger, it made it clear to us again that the state is against us and wants us dead. We are under constant threat whether the killers are within or outside. We are under no illusions that the state protects us, only we create the conditions for our self-protection from our oppressors.

Not only does the state not exist to protect us, but it is the institution that (re)produces patriarchy, heteronormativity and property, among other things. These are the manifestations of the culture of power that armed Demopoulos and Hortarias, and arm the hand of any would-be assassin who feels they can exercise power over queer bodies that have no value in society’s sizable heteropatriarchal matrix. Queer bodies, like all oppressed bodies: drug addicts, immigrant(s), Roma, women, disabled, workers, in this society count for less than a pane of glass.

MULTIPLE POLICE CARS DAMAGED IN WEELAUNEE (usa)

Just after 10am on Wednesday, May 24th (the 4th day of the Third Week of Action) 2 DeKalb County park police entered the forest to inspect the path created by bulldozers on Monday in the RC field. As they were exiting, forest defenders ambushed them by throwing rocks and bottles their cars, smashing windows.

It seems they aren’t so formidable when they aren’t alongside DeKalb County Police assisting in encampment sweeps, as they did last December at the behest of Blackhall Studios following the “Witch Bloc” hexing. Continue reading MULTIPLE POLICE CARS DAMAGED IN WEELAUNEE (usa) →

Nighttime Visit at the Home of an RBC Executive

Late in the night, on May 4th, individuals acting in the spirit of vengeance visited the home of Michael Fortier on Chester Avenue. Mr. Fortier was a federal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Today, he is the vice-chairman of capital markets at the Royal Bank of Canada. Tucked away in his big house in the Town of Mount-Royal (a wealthy Montreal neighborhood separated by a long wall from the poor and exploited), Mr. Fortier no doubt feels at ease with his employer’s decision to continue funding the Coastal GasLink pipeline (or any other disgusting project financed by RBC).

As glaciers melt and drought, fire and famine spread, Mr. Fortier may think that his money and connections will protect him, his children and his grandchildren. But the ecologically dispossessed will know the names of those responsible. He must understand that no one is safe amid this storm. Continue reading Nighttime Visit at the Home of an RBC Executive →

Toronto, Canada : May Day Bank Attack

In “Toronto” on the morning of May 1st, we attacked an RBC branch in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en land defenders. We left a spray-painted message, a damaged lock, and a mess of red paint.

As we walked away into a beautiful May Day sunrise, we left a trail of messages through the city.

We were left wanting more, but we know that there are many more days ahead.

The time is now, the task is simple! Atta​​​​​​​ck!

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility by Anti-state Saboteurs

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility

For 3 years now, the far-right government of the ND has intensified state repressive action against those who fight and stand against its brutal capitalist plans.

The repressive attacks, frame-ups and persecutions against militants are countless. In these 3 years we have witnessed demonstration bans, torture of protesters and prisoners, informal hostage-taking of anarchists under harsh restraints, arrests in the pile, intimidation with non-existent DNA and detention. The purpose of all these state practices is to completely cut off and isolate militants from social resistance and physically eliminate them.

Munich, Germany : About raids and a §129 procedure against anarchists and the theft of a printing space

Munich: About raids and a §129 procedure against anarchists and the theft of a printing space

What happened?

As previously published, on Tuesday, April 26, in Munich coordinated raids were conducted against anarchists accused of forming a criminal organization (§129). Four apartments were searched (2 of them without any of the accused living there), as well as several basement storage rooms (some of the neighboring cellars of those to the accused were also searched), a printing space, and the anarchist library Frevel.

Coordinated by State Security (K43), a bunch of hooded USK cops with battering rams, partly drawn weapons and some even in chain-mail – yes, whether this cop had lost a bet or whether it was a knight-themed week, we will probably never know – stormed into the apartments at 6 a.m. sharp. This infamous testosterone-fueled bunch even rammed open a door whose key was inserted in the lock on the outside. At some of the apartments, the cops or their colleagues from K123 (Digital Forensics/Telecommunications Surveillance) must have logged into the local WLAN network beforehand, as they seemed to have a precise idea of which devices were connected to the local WLAN network at that time: equipped with power banks and presumably Faraday cages (which serve to shield radio signals) in the form of pouches, the officers immediately snatched the devices, all of them smartphones, and secured them while they were still switched on.
