France,Orange (Vaucluse): the police station hit with a molotov and updated

Orange : the police station targeted with a Molotov cocktail during the night
La Provence, 26 August 2021 (extract)
It was around 1.40am on Wednesday night that police officers stationed at the Orange police station on Avenue du Général de Gaulle noticed a loud explosion in the building’s courtyard on the video surveillance footage.
A fire then spread rapidly, given the very dry vegetation. The fire was only contained by the rapid intervention of the officers on duty. Once the fire had been extinguished with fire extinguishers and buckets of water, the officers found that it had been caused by a Molotov cocktail, thrown over the fence, most probably from the skate park adjacent to the police station.

USA: Roseville Office Attacked In Solidarity With Atlanta Forest

Responding to the call from comrades in Atlanta for an 8/18 day of action in solidarity with the struggle to defend the Atlanta forest; vandals broke into the office complex housing Corporation Service Company’s (CSC) regional office in Roseville, a suburb of Minneapolis. After smashing the office door and throwing cans of paint inside, a message was left sprayed across the front: HANDS OFF THE ATLANTA FOREST.
Demands are being made for CSC to drop their client, Blackhall Studios. Blackhall Studios would like to level the South Atlanta Forest to build the country’s largest soundstage and an airport, creating unprecedented levels of gentrification in the city.

Carqueiranne (Var) France: police cars smashed

Three vehicles of the municipal police vandalised
Var matin, 10 August 2021 (excerpt)
Smashed out windshields, broken mirrors, punctured tyres – during the night of Saturday to Sunday, three cars of the municipal police were victims of malicious acts. “At 6am, we received a call from the municipal police stating the facts. We had already had tags, but not this kind of damage to our equipment. The windshields had probably been kicked in. The police have my full support, we will respond with the utmost severity,” says Mayor Arnaud Latil.

Volos, Greece: Responsibility Claim for the attack on the AGET factory by Direct Action Cell ‘Vassilis Maggos’

RESPONSIBILITY CLAIM FOR THE ATTACK ON THE AGET FACTORY
“The exploited people have nothing to manage themselves beyond the denial of their status as such. Only in this way will their bosses, their leaders, their variously adorned apologists be eliminated with them. In this ‘massive task of urgent demolition’, we must quickly seek, joy.”
ACTION REPLACES TEARS
Much was said, even more was concealed and little was done. On July 14, 2020, our eyes tear up at the news of the death of comrade Vassilis Maggos, tears that will become rage, rage that thirsts for revenge. Evamer, as he was known and remains in our hearts, was a rare blend of selfless fighter and rebellious youth. A friend – a comrade in every sense of the word, who, with a permanent smile on his face, was always willing to help his neighbour, to discuss and above all to ACT against the state’s power and social subordination. A person who more than once had faced the arbitrariness of power and the bullies of the cops as he struggled with his demons from a young age, growing up in the streets of denial and questioning. Much can be said and perhaps has already been said about comrade Vassilis, but little has been done. We pledge that this condition will change. His beating and subsequent torture by the garbage of the police after the demonstration on June 13, 2020, may not be directly responsible for his death, but everyone can understand the magnitude of the mental burden that was inflicted on him and led to his death.

Neither nuke nor 5G! ( Nancy,France)

In the heights of the outskirts of Nancy, on August 18th, a 5G antenna burned. “Ni nuke ni 5G!” was spray-painted on a wall of the enclosure that protected access to it.
This was one of several responses to the government’s insistence on forcing through its project to digitise the world. This year will also be decisive for the nuclear waste landfill project at Bure, which is also taking hold despite local and wider opposition that has been ongoing for years. Nuclear and 5G are the pillars of an industry of death.
Solidarity with everyone facing charges as a result of these struggles!
Illuminated joggers.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Graffiti and Locks Glued at Havanna stores

Buenos Aires July 2021
CONSUME UNTIL THE DESERT SURPRISES US
Graffiti painted and locks glued in Havanna stores.
On the “coldest morning of the year” we visited several Havanna coffee shops and managed to intervene on six of their facades. Gluing locks and padlocks, we painted their windows to show that we are not inert, we have the capacity to act and we know that the “traditional” alfajor is sold there with a new ingredient in its recipe: GENETICALLY MODIFIED WHEAT.
Wheat is the food staple in the region; not corn, nor rice, nor cassava. Wheat is the bread, the tortilla, the pasta that we consume daily.

[Chile] With anarchy, beyond limits!

June 23, 2021
“In seeking the impossible, man has always realized and recognized the possible. And those who have wisely limited themselves to what they thought possible have never taken a single step forward.” Mikhail Bakunin
Intervention in the prelude to this June 11 in international solidarity with Marius Mason and all long-term anarchist prisoners.
As of this day, more than 50 anarchists are being held in prisons around the world. An intimate embrace of the wind to those who in their anarchic path have not been satisfied with democratic passivity and have broken with the tranquility of those who hold power. To those who for different circumstances have had to navigate their confinement with cunning many times, but always with their heads held high, because becoming one more inhabitant of these prisons is such a possibility for us – the anarchic subjects – even when taking precautions in combat, and that must be taken into account. In the same way, just as imprisonment can strike us, there are also a thousand and one reasons to directly strike the structures of Capital. And why not strike the very promoters of the established order, generating the worst of winter storms, because in the practice of combat there are no limits, and the use of violence is always possible as long as it is dignified. Perhaps the names on the path of anarchy are repeating themselves: Severino Di Giovanni; Simon Radowitsky; The Bonnot Gang; The Russian Nihilists; Nicola Gai and Alfredo Cospito; Pola Roupa; Nikos Maziotis and how many more comrades that we have not named to our own detriment. Those who with successes and errors knew how to reconfigure and elevate anarchist action, in their own times and contexts, attacking the enemy where it hurts the most – submerging their souls in fear in their privileged domains, in those places where they never in their despicable lives thought they might feel threatened.

Italy – Solidarity with prisoner Andreas Krebs

Via: inferno urbanoTranslated by act for freedom now!
———
We are relaunching solidarity with Andreas Krebs, who is facing a very difficult situation in the prison of Secondigliano (Naples), all the more so as he is seriously ill. We learned about his situation from an imprisoned anarchist comrade who spent some time in jail with Andreas in Germany, and we started corresponding with him (Andreas speaks and reads Italian fluently but has some trouble with writing).
Since this rather outdated summary that we are reproducing here from a blog in solidarity with him, his health condition has deteriorated further and his lawyer has confirmed that the court of Naples has repeatedly refused to accept claims submitted by the defence up to September last year, demanding acknowledgement of the incompatibility of his health situation with imprisonment. Meantime Andreas has been waiting for a biopsy which was ordered urgently over a year ago.

Genova, Italy: Against Special Surveillance

While power continues to ravage and plunder territories, bodies and souls, we can still count on individuals who do not resign themselves and who, in spite of everything, continue on the tortuous path of freedom.
The capitalist system, now well established, always ready to hide behind the mask of democracy and security, unveils its tentacles a little more each day, which are insinuating themselves into the life of each individual, as well as into the exploitation of the earth, water and air. Those who (finally) realize this and those who are aware of it and have been opposing it for a long time, are immediately beaten and repressed, so that the dirty integrity of the authority that watches over the order and the instituted system is not damaged. Because of this, companions who have always thrown themselves with their tension against the power, see their affinities described as “terrorist associations”, their lives monitored and their freedom limited.
