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.

Solidarity Means Attack

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!

Solidarity Means Attack

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.

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

Pithiviers (Loiret) France : Grievances against the Internet…

La République du Centre / 1 September 2021
Twenty-one cables dedicated to the Orange fibre optic network were apparently cut on Sunday 29 August at a box installed in the Saint-Aignan district of Pithiviers.
It could be “an isolated act of maliciousness” by someone who has “grievances against the Internet”, reports Squadron Leader Fabien Fourcade, who commands the Pithiviers company.
It will be up to the gendarmes to look at the video surveillance of the neighbourhood to try to identify the saboteur who has deprived twenty-one homes of Internet. The operator Orange should file a complaint very soon.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for arson in Vyronas area

The capitalist economy needs to sell security to society, a miserable, sleeping society. The capitalist machine, its cops in uniform and the shit that surrounds them are there to make people obey orders then consume shit and buy plastic trinkets like mobile phones.Of course an economic crisis does not bring the repression, but the migrants, the virus, the fires and the opponents. Governments will use anything to increase surveillance of the masses, to sow fear, boredom through screens, just follow the apps and you are safe.
Some, of course, do not follow orders but are consciously on the other side, resisting against empty capitalist reality. Some continue the struggle in the cells of tyranny. For them and for us. Let’s bring the fires from the forests to the city. Let the aristocrats, the security forces and their masters pay every price for the disasters. Monday, August 30, we burned a vehicle of the ELTA (Greek Post Office) Courier in Vyronas area, in Ymittou avenue.
