Carrara , Italy: Incendiary  attack against three heavy vehicles at a marble quarry in the Campocecina area (Carrara, 3 November 2024)

Incendiary  attack against three heavy vehicles at a marble quarry in the Campocecina area  in Carara

Tongues of fire

In the night between Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 November a fire lit up a moonless night on the Apuan mountains, destroying three heavy vehicles in a marble quarry in the Campo di Cecina area near Carrara.

In these places where it is easy to pass unobserved machinery and structures indispensible to the industrial system are often left lying around.

May this kind of blaze spread against devastating machines and their miserable owners.

Call to Action Against the PRGT Pipeline (Canada)

  • via: mtlcounterinfo
  • As of August 2024, construction work has started on the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline. The project is owned by Western LNG and the Nisgaa Nation, the latter which has allowed for construction to start on their land first, the rural Nass river valley that sits adjacent to the Pacific ocean. State and industry are committed to developing an “energy corridor” through the remote region. The nearly completed and fiercely contested Coastal Gas Link pipeline was the first pipeline in the southern energy corridor, and PRGT is the first pipeline projected for the northern energy corridor. The line is set to end at Ksi Lisims LNG terminal (Nisgaa owned as well) where liquid and natural gas would be stored and prepared for export to international markets by tankers. LNG is being sold as a green alternative for those looking to shift away from coal. But the green transition is a lie.

    We know that energy, and its current reorganization, is inseparable from domination, capitalist exploitation and the extractivist logic that devastates the land. We propose attack.

    Update from the 2nd session (1-11-2024) of the trial of the arrested comrades from the battle at the Squatted Prosfygika on the 22nd of November 2022 (Athens,Greece)

    On Friday 1-11-2024, after an adjournment, the trial of the arrested comrades from the battle of the Squatted Prosfygika* on the 22nd of November 2022, resumed. The proceedings of this second trial began with the last defence witness, psychiatrist and scientific director of the18 ANO Addiction Unit until her retirement, Katerina Matsa. Her contribution was quite important, as she described in a direct and experiential way her relationship with the community of Squatted Prosfygika, from the point of view of the rehabilitation unit and the psychological support committee that undertakes and carries out issues related to the mental empowerment of our fellow human beings in need.

    Through her testimony, Katerina Matsa highlighted the moral value that comes from mutual help, a value that is expressed through the neighbourhood relationships. She pointed out the open character of the community, which in fact is embodied in various forms of self-organisation (e.g. by producing conversations and debates around social issues, etc.). In addition, reference was made to the general socio-political framework of agreement between people who come to participate and support the community, without necessarily being residents -without borders-, thus making it clear that solidarity functions in an exemplary manner and in line with the moral content of everyday life in the Prosfygika neighbourhood. Finally, reference was made to the redevelopment plans and how they are related to the raids-interventions of the cops, whose only purpose is the destruction of an entire neighbourhood of equal coexistence and collective struggle.

    [Chania] Responsive march in solidarity with the persecuted comrade of the Ampelokipi case in Chania old town

    After today’s 22/11 provocative pre-trial detention of Nikos Romanos with the only “evidence” being a fingerprint found on a bag in Arkadiou, thus linking him to the Ampelokipi case, a responsive march of solidarity with the persecuted comrade was held in the old town of Chania on Friday evening.

    The fairy tales of the state and the cops, as reproduced by the media, told to lull a society that is in slumber, always seeing terrorists in the world of struggle, while the real enemy hides behind the guise of law and order.

    Hambach Forest – banner for comrades Kyriakos & Marianna (Germany)

    We were horrified to learn of the explosion on October 31, where Kyriakos X. died and Marianna M.. was seriously injured. Our hearts stand by the people who were close to them and who now have to deal with severe repression while grieving.

    We are angry and disgusted by the actions of the Greek state, which immediately began to take advantage of this tragedy to attack the anarchists. The state’s efforts to isolate and silence our comrades and break the bonds between us will strengthen them and further spread the ideas and struggles of our comrades.

    The desire to spread rebellious ideas rips like a wind, uncontrollable and unconceivable, beyond borders, laws and every attempt to intimidate us.

    A seed of these ideas was carried from Athens to this forest and will be cultivated by all of us here as part of our struggle against domination and for the liberation of all living beings.

    Strength for the long struggle ahead of us to Marianna, Dimitra, the other accused and to all those who are close to them, who care and fight alongside them.

    Arson attack in Terrace BC (Canada)

    On the morning September 26th four vehicles were severely damaged as well as buildings nearby in an arson attack in Terrace BC.

    With a little investigation we realized the vehicles attacked belong to McElhanney a company with a large portfolio providing surveying, engineering, GIS & remote sensing, landscape architecture, environmental services across western Canada. Near Terrace, McElhanney is working on the controversial PRGT pipeline, which has seen resistance via occupations and blockades. Further south the company has used GIS data to help plan work for the controversial TMX pipeline.

    From London to Athens Solidarity to the Political Prisoners Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris, Hands Off Romanos, Fallen Anarchist Kyriakos Forever Alive

    On November 18, comrade Nikos Romanos is also arrested in connection with the same events. Nikos Romanos held his friend and comrade Alexis Grigoropoulos in his arms as he took his final breath on December 6, 2008, assassinated by the bullet of a special state officer.

    In the years that followed, the Greek anti-terrorist agency repeatedly targeted Nikos and other anarchists, imprisoning them with fabricated evidence in an effort to suppress the blooming anti-authoritarian social movements. Nikos Romanos spent years as a political prisoner, held hostage by the state, before being released in recent years.

    Call for a solidarity gathering for the prosecuted comrade Nikos Romanos, on Thursday 21/11 at 19:00 at Syntagma Square, Athens-Greece

    We invite the wider world of the struggle to respond to the call and join the struggle against state tactics.

    On Monday 11/18 in the afternoon, the comrade Nikos Romanos was arrested outside his house. The reason was the – completely accidental – finding of a fingerprint on the outside of a bag in the apartment of Ampelokipi, which was flattened by the explosion.

    The communicated as “successful” process of isolating a fingerprint, which refers to a known fighter, as well as the construction of an upgraded prosecution based on a mobile object of everyday and widespread use, cannot but be part of the long-term strategy of repressive mechanisms targeting fighters of the antagonist movement, confirming the “communicating vessels” narrative by catching suspects and condemned comrades from the famous “known and unknown tank” of the GADA archives.
