Athens, Greece: Anarchist place (steki) at the Agricultural University : Burn the State Database

The case of the 14 comrades of the occupation of the rectorate of the Polytechnic university does not only concern them, but all the fighting parts inside and outside the faculties. This is because it is an upgrade on the part of the state, in terms of the ways of methods and repression.
The state, having yielded to the university police, is using its usual tricks, namely frame-ups and false accusations. Through these, it calls on the comrades, under the pretext of their alleged identification, to compulsorily hand over their DNA. This practice adds them to the state databases, putting them in a state of indirect hostage-taking and terrorism, as their DNA can now be used in future frame-ups. This move, through fear and example, is intended to inactivate struggling individuals and criminalize the means that have always been in our quiver.

Italy – I could but I don’t want to

I could but I don’t want to
I could convince myself that all nuclear power plants are reliable. But I don’t want to. I still keep Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, Fukushima in mind… As the earth becomes contaminated for ever, the usual characters in power tell us that there is nothing else to be done.
I could consider wars as something necessary to defeat enemies that seem invincible. But I don’t want to. All the deaths caused by conflicts between the States have only strengthened their domination on individuals through genocides, massacres and famines.
I could brood over freedom of choice. But I don’t want to. In the world of progress for the rich and regression for the poor, what is called freedom of choice would be more appropriately called freedom to consume as much as possible it seems to me.

Paris France: Arson of an Enedis vehicle

Paris: Arson of an Enedis vehicle   
A former dictator once said that communism is the soviets plus electricity. This image shows how compatible his worldview was with today’s society. The passage of time has shown us how false the promises of technical progress were. But the “empowerment” of workers, who no longer need foremen because they have them in their heads, or citizen involvement in the management of the “common good” are increasingly used as instruments of social pacification.
Instead, we prefer the equation “anarchy is fire plus freely and temporarily associated individuals”.

Besançon (Doubs) France: It’s not just their techno-surveillance tools in our lives, it’s the lice too

Besançon (Doubs) : It’s not just their techno-surveillance tools in our lives, it’s the lice too
Indymedia Lille, 15 September 2021
As 5G is deployed, the fight against this controlling society continues apace. Attacks against telecommunication antennas or companies involved in them also continue: in France, more than a hundred sabotage actions have been carried out since March 2020. Enough to piss off this capitalist society and the state that protects it. The repressive wave knows no truce, and the cops use all the technological surveillance tools at their disposal to try to repress and stifle any hint of revolt.
Since last year, about thirty people have been raided, indicted or imprisoned for sabotaging cell towers. This is the case of Boris, a fellow anarchist who was sent to prison in Nancy in September 2020 for burning two of them in Jura, and is now in the hospital following a fire in his cell. In a letter written from prison, he mentions the devices used by the cops and gendarmes to spy on his daily life during the investigation: imsi catcher suitcases, cameras in front of a home, GPS under the cars of people close to him, live listening and geolocation, GIGN undercovers (from Versailles) following him around and staged in hideouts, requests for placing microphones in a home and in the wall of a park where he regularly met friends, discreet seizures of beer bottles left in public spaces,…

Two Thales ATMs set on fire
 11 September 2021
Last night, two NS [Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the Dutch National Railways] ticket machines were set on fire at The Hague Moerwijk station. The NS ticket machines are managed and operated by the arms company Thales. Thales controls the railway network in the Netherlands: payments and doors, signal changes, video surveillance, etc. (see: xxxthalesgroup.com/en/europe/netherlands/transportation-netherlands ).

WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THOSE WHO LEFT AT THE HANDS OF THE STATE (GREECE)

Eight years have passed since the day the Golden Dawn nazi murderers killed Fissas. But fascism is still out there and lurking. It is still pressing on supposed ignorance and poverty. Always with the system and capitalism as its ally. In the current situation with the pandemic and the criminal management by those in power, the fascist groups are back on the streets, amidst fermentations that are taking place in the nationalist area. The struggle against fascism is a struggle against fear.
Anarchists are not asking for victories or defeats against the fascists through the civil courts. Fascism is being crushed in our everyday life, in the squares and in the streets.
FOR A WORLD WITHOUT EXPLOITATION, BUT OF SOLIDARITY AND FREEDOM
AND THIS YEAR WE WILL BE IN THE STREETS TO HONOUR PAVLOS

The Local Kids Issue 7 – A compilation of texts, a contribution to a correspondence between those who desire anarchy and subversion.

Population management is now supposedly the responsibility of everyone. Obedience to the state has been dressed up as solidarity. More surveillance is called freedom. All in the name of a return to normal life that appears as a mirage in the desert. Should we rehash for the umpteenth time a comparison to 1984? Its author might have thought that it takes a continuous and considerate effort to see what’s right in front of your nose; can we truly say that? Is it difficult to see what’s going on? Or is it that we speak different languages and will find no common understanding of life?
We could jump into the fray, unveil their lies, battle for the real meaning of words, uphold a correct perception of reality. But then we would be entering the realm of politics where we can only fight with words without radically changing the narrative. A stubbornness that can have its value to demonstrate the absurdism of society. But only by refusing to do politics can we challenge the power of this system over our lives. That also means that we cannot pretend to have solutions at hand for the crises we’re passing through. The existence of capitalism is based in the progressive destruction of the living conditions of all living beings.

Grenoble, France : In solidarity with anarchist prisoner Boris

———-
In solidarity with Boris, who has been in a coma for a month now following a fire in his cell, an Orange vehicle was set on fire in front of the Orange offices in the centre of Grenoble on Sunday night.
Why Orange? Simply because we have read the summary of Boris’ trial, and we have seen that Orange, through its lawyer, has tried to hammer our comrade as much as possible. Of course the judges, prosecutors and wardens are just as responsible for his situation, but we wanted to start a campaign against Orange, because it is easily accessible everywhere: slashed tyres, broken shop windows, tags, burned cars, burned antennas, etc., there is something for everyone who wants to take part in this little campaign, to show that we don’t forget Boris and that we think of him, with our heads held high and our hearts burning!

Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne): In-Vinci-nation of a utility vehicle (France)

It’s hard to find a sordid area in which Vinci is not involved. From Qatar to Chile, from France to Russia, the flagship of industry exports its infrastructures of control around the world. The destruction of life, the exploitation and confinement of human beings are of course on the menu. So the Vinci van that was burnt down a few days ago in Ivry will not prevent Vinci from continuing to build rubble.

A lot happened around the days of action against CIGEO in the vicinity of the Rayonnantes camp at Luméville station in August 2021. A brief review of the events and a call to intensify our resistance.
Upstream actions
Already before the Rayonnantes camp, there had been interventions by the B.O.R.I.S. group.
As part of a coordinated action, attacks in Bar-le-Duc and Nancy with paint and smashed windows targeted SAFER. The insurance company Groupama, which had joined the civil action with the commune of Bure during the 1-2-3 trials, also suffered material damage. On the railway track to be renovated between Ligny and Gondrecourt, militants sabotaged parts of the track with jacks. Graffiti and stickers in front of the camp.

People gathered outside HMP Bristol with banners
Our passion for freedom is stronger than the prison!
Last week people gathered outside HMP Eastwood park women’s prison to show solidarity with prisoners who have recently experienced increased levels of violence from prison guards. They chanted “you are not alone” and made noise so that the people inside could know that they are supported, and that the violence that they experience behind the prison walls will not go on unnoticed.
