Qintus engineering house attacked (Germany)

Hamburg, 14 June 2021
In a few days the cops will try to enforce an inspection of Rigaer Straße 94 in Friedrichshain by the so-called “owner” of the house and a fire safety expert. From the planned lockdown and siege of the neighbourhood it is obvious that the house project is seriously threatened again.
That’s why we sent solidarity and militant greetings on the night of Tuesday, 15.06, to all companions who keep their heads up and oppose the repression. Shards in front of the “Qintus Ingenieurhaus” in Max-Brauer-Allee 62-64 testify to the hatred that unites us against all those who profit from the city of the rich. Greetings to Rigaer94 were also left on site.

Genoa, Italy: Burning of Erzelli Polo Tecnologico 5G Repeater, Server-Data Cabinets & Terna High Voltage pylon (it,en)

This is an era where the triumph of science, technology and technique prevails unceasingly. All this does not mean that we are in a science fiction or visionary world, but that, in the crude reality, science after having faithfully only served politics (the State) and economics (capital), has now become the driving force of the new productive and economic order.
Until the middle of the 20th century it provided the propaganda means (TV, radio, press), the repressive ones (weapons) to the State and the means of industrial production that reduced the workforce. From the middle of the last century onwards, the power of science has grown more and more to invade every aspect of our lives and through bio-nano technologies, of life itself.
The monopoly of truth seems to have made science all-powerful, as with the state its historic monopoly of violence.

Heraklion, Crete [Greece]: Attack on cops in solidarity with rigaer94

As a group of people who have a political perception and hate the cops, we decided on our own initiative to attack the Matzides (riot cops) of Xenia Square, using fireworks, stones, etc. as solidarity with the occupation of Rigaer94 and as a response to the deliberate patriarchal cop control of Xenia Square.

Cham (Switzerland): Internet and TV connection cut in the early morning

Telecom cables damaged by fire in Cham
ATS, 27 June 2021
A fire broke out in a sewer housing telecom cables around 00:30 on Saturday night in Cham (ZG, i.e. the canton of Zug). A part of the population of the region is deprived of television, internet and landline phones, but not of cellular.
The cause of the fire is unknown. No one was injured, the police said Sunday. The repair should take a long time. The damage is considerable, it said in a statement. Despite the rapid intervention of firefighters, many lines have been completely destroyed. In some parts of the Cham-Ost region, landline connections as well as Internet and TV lines are therefore interrupted. The cellular network, however, is not affected by the interruption.

British Columbia (Canada): the fires of revenge consume the churches

In Canada, new arsons of catholic churches on native lands
The World, June 27, 2021
Two new churches were burned down on Saturday 26 June on native territories in western Canada, bringing the total number of churches burned to four, since the discovery of a thousand unmarked graves near former residential schools run by the Catholic Church in British Columbia.
In the early hours of Saturday, St. Ann’s Church and Chopaka Church, both located on strips of aboriginal land in British Columbia, were burned within an hour of each other, federal police said. “Both churches were destroyed,” said Sgt. Jason Bayda of the Canadian Mounted Police in a statement.

Still’s company car set on fire (Leipzig,Germany)

Leipzig, 13 June 2021
We destroyed a Still company van with fire during the eviction of Tiefe Straße 3 in East Leipzig. This was our attempt to support #leipzigbesetzen and to answer the attack of the pigs on their creation of collective housing. The van is definitely a complete loss, even if the otherwise sensationalist press has reported little about it.
Still is the supplier of many forest clearcuts, which is why it made sense as a target. Solidarity with Moni, Danni and all other environmental campaigners.

Construction site of luxury apartments attacked with fire (Berlin, Germany )

In the night from 08.06. to 09.06., we set fire to a wheel loader and a power distribution box on the construction site in Braunschweiger Straße 21. The driver’s cab of the wheel loader burned out completely, the power distribution box was damaged so significantly that it is no longer functional. After the Edeka was demolished, the vacant site there was occupied by a neighborhood initiative in 2019 and transformed into a beautiful place to gather and network.
But after only two months, the newly created neighborhood garden was destroyed by construction workers and security guards, the area was cleared and thus another uncommercial and social meeting place was razed to the ground. Instead, the construction of a fortress of unaffordable micro-apartments/luxury apartments is now planned there, which will significantly advance gentrification in the neighborhood.

Erfurt, 28 May 2021
On the morning of May 28, 2021, the “Kommando Paul Schäfer” entered the apartment of the Erfurt fascist Julian Nico Moritz Franz in Dornheimstraße 54 99099 Erfurt.
Julian Franz has been an active and violent neo-Nazi for many years. Several times in the past, he was part of fascist marches to right-wing acts of violence.
For example, most recently in July 2020, when several young people were attacked by organized fascists in front of the Erfurt State Chancellery.

Crest and Eurre (Drôme): Cable fires block TGV trains

via: attaque.
France Bleu / Friday 25 June 2021

The high-speed line is out of service in Drôme because of several arsons over the night of Thursday, June 24 to Friday, June 25, around 3 am in Crest. Power, signal and fiber cables were set on fire in four different places in an area of 100 square meters. The damage is very important, 50 SNCF agents are mobilized for the repairs. The amount has not yet been calculated by the SNCF.
The repairs will take time, the traffic could resume normally Saturday at 16:00, it is only an estimate of the SNCF, nothing is certain at this stage. Trains are running, but are obliged to use the classic line. This means that no train leaves or arrives from the Valence TGV station.  They have to go through Valence Ville. The Paris-Marseille line, which is very busy, is particularly affected.
All the TGV and TER trains on the same line cause traffic jams. According to the SNCF, all trains are about an hour late on Friday. The SNCF has filed a complaint. The research section of Grenoble is in charge of the investigation with the research brigade of Crest. In December 2019, a similar fire had already taken place, with the same method. The trains had also been stopped.

France 3 / Saturday 26 June 2021
“This Friday, June 25, around 03:30 in the morning, south of Valence, four facilities containing signal cables located on the Mediterranean high-speed line have suffered a fire,” said the SNCF in a statement. “An act of sabotage was committed on the high-speed line at Eurre in the Drôme, electrical cables located underground were set on fire along the tracks cutting the power supply and signaling,” said the prefecture.
On the photos taken on the vandalized site, one can see charred cables. The SNCF indicated that the damage was “very important”. […]
An official was giving an update this Saturday morning. “Since yesterday (Friday), 4am, we have mobilized more than 50 specialized SNCF agents. This is specific work that had to be done,” explained Alexandre Bertholet, head of the Marseille-Valence LGV, this Saturday morning. “We have replaced more than 20 cables. More than 1,000 meters of cable were renewed. “
In addition to replacing the 20 cables affected, it was also necessary to carry out verification operations. “We had to mobilize resources to carry out this work but also to test the installations and make sure that we can resume traffic this morning (Saturday) at normal speed and in complete safety.” 
According to the Dauphiné Libéré, “the damage caused by the sabotage of the TGV line amounts to more than one million euros” (title of a paid article dated 26/06).
