London,UK: Attack on Automated Supermarket
Attack on Automated Supermarket
From the first moment automation has never been ‘labour saving’. As the machines are faster, more efficient, more automatic, ‘smarter’, we are simply forced to work at the increased speed and intensity the machine is now capable of.
The first fully ‘automated supermarkets’ have begun appearing in the UK. Like many other invasions of the urban landscape, which in London particularly is already a fortress under constant surveillance, they are greeted with further indifference. Constant crisis has a wearying effect, every further incursion has a ready-made justification, for further ‘efficiencies’, ‘monitoring’, for a ‘smarter city’.

EN/ES/IT/DE: Solidarity with Toby Shone in the face of threats from Fascist Screw SO Steven Sollars (UK)
Solidarity with Toby Shone in the face of threats from Fascist Screw SO Steven Sollars Imprisoned anarchist Toby Shone has refused to attend any more workshops run by right-wing Senior Officer Steven Sollars at HMP Bristol due to the constant provocations, insults, denigration and threats. He was confined to his cell for 23 hours a day for two weeks following his refusal.
Ex-military and a screw at Bristol prison for the last 11 years, SO Steve Sollars is well known amongst prisoners as a politically motivated bully and bigot. He boasted to prisoners that he was part of a counter-protest that “protected” the cenotaph in June 2020 during the Black Lives Matter protests in Bristol. He gloated about the long sentences given to Kill the Bill protestors, particularly Ryan Roberts.
He publically fantasised about re-introducing chain gangs, saying that he would shoot prisoners in the face with a shotgun if they rebelled.
Sollars threatened to kill Toby and blame it on another prisoner. He made derogatory remarks about Irish rebels in the run up to the Bloody
Paris: The enemy is here
Paris: The enemy is here
Our enemies are not the other exploited but the bosses and the state. We reject all nationalist and Common Front appeals, even if we recognize the horror of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But Putin did not become a dictator on February 24 because the Western media and leaders condemned him. The dictatorship has always been there, Russia and its vassal Belarus have always been police states. It was enough to look at things and not do anything. The brutal repression of all popular demands, opponents murdered, tortured and imprisoned…
We think of our anarchist comrades, like Ilya Romanov who spent long years in jail or the two young Russian companions recently sentenced to several years in jail for dynamiting a political police station – in a video game! We also think of the 2020 revolt in Belarus, when the inhabitants of this country wanted to overthrow the dictator Lukashenko. Dozens of people were killed by the police, hundreds tortured, thousands imprisoned to the indifference of Europe. While they wanted to have the upper hand in the geostrategic games, the Western governments never condemned the Russian police state which on the contrary has always been an important economic partner. Société Générale, Total, Engie, Renault, the Auchan group… it is also with French money that Putin’s dictatorship has prospered, it is with this money that the army that today massacres civilians and threatens nuclear disasters has been financed.

Hambach forest,Germany : sabotage of engines in sand quarry
In the Kieswasche Buir antenna of the Rheinische Baustoffwerke, 6 or 7 working engines (digger excavator and others types) had their windows smashed, cables and pipes cut and some messages against concrete and it’s devastating role in the growing of civilization, and for anarchism have been left.
Indeed, their gravel and sand are used for concrete and other building materials but they also propose their services to other enterprises to get rid of their mineral waste. The link with the RWE coal mine next to the forest is more than possible. Plus, this antenna have been built by destroying living places of all kind of species.
All of them, reasons to attack !
End civilization, for anarchism

Απεργία πείνας του Δημήτρη Χατζηβασιλειάδη 11-18/3 : Αλληλεγγύη με τους πολιτικούς κρατούμενους σε Ελλάδα και Τουρκία Στις 13 Μάρτη θα συναντηθεί ο Μητσοτάκης με τον Ερντογάν. Η κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη πριν 2 χρόνια ακριβώς, στις 19 Μάρτη 2020, φυλάκισε 11 επαναστάτες από την Τουρκία, ως αντάλλαγμα για το κλείσιμο των τούρκικων
συνόρων στους μετανάστες. Οι 11 συναγωνιστές καταδικάστηκαν από ελληνικό δικαστήριο αποκλειστικά με βάση την ευρωπαική λίστα «τρομοκρατίας», συνολικά σε 333 χρόνια φυλάκισης. Στην προηγηθείσα συνάντηση του Τσίπρα με τον Ερντογάν, στις 4 Δεκέμβρη 2017, η ελληνική κυβέρνηση δώρισε στο τούρκικο φασιστικό καθεστώς, τη φυλάκιση 9 αγωνιστών που βασανίστηκαν κατά τη σύλληψή τους και απελευθερώθηκαν μετά από 18 μήνες. Το ελληνικό και το τούρκικο κράτος είναι καλοί συνεργάτες ενάντια στην επαναστατική πάλη των λαών. Το ελληνικό και το τούρκικο κράτος είναι συνέταιροι στην πρώτη γραμμή του ΝΑΤΟϊκού ιμπεριαλισμού. Η τούρκικη στρατοκρατία αποτελεί την αιχμή της ΝΑΤΟϊκής τρομοκρατίας στη Μέση Ανατολή, τη Μεσόγειο και τη Μαύρη Θάλασσα.

Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW)
Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW) is an international campaign supporting people affected by the war that began with the Russian army’s invasion of the so-called Ukraine in February 2022.
The war conflict is driving people from their homes, destroying their facilities, causing numerous injuries, traumas and deaths. The MTNW campaign seeks to raise funds for those who are deeply affected by these issues.
At the heart of the campaign is an informal network of various individuals dedicated to tattooing and willing to donate the money for their artwork to a common solidarity fund. The fund will then be used to help specific people in need.
Athens, Greece: Update from the trial of P. Georgiadis, E.M. and M.T.
On 2 March the trial of the imprisoned militant Polycarpos Georgiadis, accused of “illegal possession of explosives for the commission of a crime”, and of comrades M.T. and E.M., who were charged with misdemeanor charges, took place.
Dozens of comrades gathered on the 4th floor of the Loukareos building in solidarity, with the prosecutors putting on a show, allowing only a few of us to go inside the courtroom, or even in the lobby, on the pretext of the pandemic. They then tried, unsuccessfully, to bring back the issue of the OLA (Popular Fighters Groups) notice found on the P.G’s computer and present it as authentic.

The war has finally arrived. After two years of preparations for war, chants, flags, discipline, the «we are at war» announced since spring 2020 is finally real. The tragic news coming from Ukraine is the trigger they were seeking for the definitive militarization of our society.
