Munich (Germany): ghosts continue to haunt the night

Munich, ghosts continue to haunt the night    

Around 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday night, April 4, Munich firefighters were alerted to a major blaze in the Meillerweg district, just a few hundred meters from the Maximilianeum, the historic seat of the Bavarian State Parliament. On the scene, they discovered four pieces of construction equipment being consumed by flames: a backhoe, two wheel loaders and a Unimog (a small Mercedes all-terrain utility truck).

Except that this is not just any old place, because in addition to being a stone’s throw from the Palace of the Rulers of the Kingdom of Bavaria, it’s also the construction site for the second main line of the capital’s S-Bahn subway system. To be more precise, it involved relocating a district heating pipe to build a relief shaft from the railway tunnel. The four machines, located far apart, were completely destroyed, with damage running into six figures. The Bavarian Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism (ZET) and the “Raute” investigation group were on the scene with sniffer dogs and forensic police.

Fortunately for them, the minions of law and order have a serious lead, as revealed by a major regional newspaper a few weeks later (Süddeutsche Zeitung, May 10): it’s probably ghosts, perhaps escaped from Ludwig II’s famous castle at Neuschwanstein (but on this last point, the cops are less formal).Let’s be the judge, since with this latest sabotage against the subway construction site, investigators are now attributing some 30 destructive attacks to Munich’s ghosts, causing at least 20 million euros worth of damage: “They set fire to power lines and construction equipment, telecoms antennas and electric vehicles; railroads are also the target of their attacks, as are geothermal pipelines. The identity of the perpetrators and their origins remain a mystery. Like ghosts, they leave no exploitable trace and no statement claiming the action. Who has an interest in attacking the critical infrastructure of Greater Munich? This is the question security services have been asking themselves since the series of attacks began at least three years ago.The damage caused so far is approaching the €20 million mark.”

Central Greece : Αgainst the destruction of central Evia

 

Αgainst the destruction of central Evia

At this moment, the State and investors are planning the looting of the last piece of green in central Evia. In particular, Ellaktor of Vardinogianni and the Portuguese multinational EDP Renewables are planning to place 86 wind turbines in the mountainous green areas of Dirfyos, Xerovouni, the Kotylaia Mountains and the Euboean Olympus. In fact, following the recent rejection by the ΑΠΕ of the appeal made by residents and associations of Evia, the implementation of this project is just around the corner.

Mountains of Euboean Olympus

Green Repower, the company of the forestor – sometimes also investor(!) – Eleftherios Karapidakis, is a company preparing environmental impact studies of Development & Evaluation of RES Projects. The specific subject has signed studies for a series of disastrous “green” investments throughout the Greek region, such as Evia, Agrafa, Boeotia, serving his personal benefit as well as those of his bosses.

Athens, Greece: Breakthrough on Israeli targets from down to the down by Renovations/Demolitions Initiative

Athens: Breakthrough on Israeli targets from down to the down

Words seem trivial so we call for international solidarity through direct action thus targeting the Israeli capital and interest that is carrying out the genocide in Gaza. We choose to bring the war on to our own terms, to the metropolitan fabric by smashing the Zoia hotels at 25 Metsovou and 30 Kosmas Melodou Streets.

We strike self-interest everywhere and always. An invisible thread connects the struggles of the fighting subjects in Palestine, Chile, the Philippines and in every corner of the planet with the resistance unfolding in every neighbourhood of the Greek region. Resistance and struggles against the suffocating advance of capital.

STATES BRING DEATH,
INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY FROM BELOW

WE SUPPORT AND STRENGTHEN THE SOLIDARITY STRUGGLES OF THE OPPRESSED
AND RESISTING IN PALESTINE

FROM ATLANTA TO ATHENS: COMMON STRUGGLES FOR LAND AND FREEDOM (Greece)

Conversation with an American comrade about Atlanta Forest Struggle and Repression, Friday 28/6, 20:00, Prosfygika Square

The George Floyd uprising opened up new possibilities for militant struggle in the United States. Over the past few years, American anarchists have been seizing these opportunities in a coordinated effort to connect various struggles across the country. “There are no local struggles” and the fight against the police is a fight for earth liberation.

Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2024, 5 – 7 July 2024, Prishtina, Kosovo

Open call

Call for Participation: Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2024

With great excitement we announce that, for the first time ever, the 16th edition of Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB) will be held in Prishtina, Kosova, from 5th – 7th of July 2024. BAB is not merely a platform to promote books, but also place to exchange information and ideas, create new initiatives, and strengthen organizations. As such, for more than 20 years, it stands as a testament to our collective commitment to solidarity, resistance, and collaboration across the artificial borders of Balkans.

BAB comes at a crucial time when the capital is experiencing its regular accumulation crisis, the fires of war are ravaging across the world, putting us at the brink of a world war, and fascism, in its explicit form, is spreading like wildfire. States are getting more militarized and the populations are increasingly policed, breaking apart communities and bonds of solidarity. And with any type of dissent oppressed, the capital runs freely, ever expanding to new sources of exploitation.

Claim of Responsibility for Parker-Hannifin Arson (Portland,United States)

On June 4th, The Israeli Defense Ministry penned a deal to procure a third F-35 fighter jet squadron from the United States government. This deal totaling 3 billion dollars, financed by US military aid to Israel, would bring the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 fleet to 75 fighter jets. The F-35 considered to be the backbone of the Israeli airforce, has played a critical role in the IDF’s assault on Gaza, escalating Israel’s aim of the total destruction of Palestinian life within Israeli occupied territories.

So on the morning of June 9th, we started a fire at the Portland offices of Parker-Hannifin located at 6458 N. Basin Ave in the Mocks Bottom industrial area. The mainstream media did not report on this fire. The full extent of the damage is unknown.

NEW CALEDONIA: THE KANAK INSURRECTION AND THE NICKEL INDUSTRY

08/06/2024 via: sansnom Translated by Act for freedom now!

13th May 2024. The shopping centre « Kenu In » goes up in smoke from the first night of the insurrection

Despite the efforts of the French colonial authorities, who day after day backed with numerous press releases are announcing a return to normal, the situation in New-Caledonia is far from being settled four weeks after the outbreak of the uprising of a part of the Kanak youth. And some signs are unmistakable, such as the continuation of the curfew (18h-6h) at least until June 17, the requisition of petrol stations for the exclusive use of cops and military that has just been lifted on June 8th, or the fact that the international airport of La Tontouta remains closed «until further notice». Only the airfield of Magenta has been open to commercial flights again since June 5th, or internal flights to New Caledonia to Lifou, Ouvéa and Maré, and nearly 500 French tourists are still blocked on the island after three weeks. As for the North of New Caledonia, it is the army that takes charge directly of the supplying (and therefore rationing and priorities) of the stores, managing the containers that arrive at Koné by barge.

At present, despite the pressure of the 3,500 cops and soldiers sent to the scene, some roadblocks in the neighbourhoods of Nouméa or along the 50 km road leading to the airport, are still being re-erected by Kanak insurgents after their dismantling, without omitting to trap them with gas cylinders at times or even prepare some little surprises for the blues: on June 4th in Dumbéa, for example, a gendarme fell down a manhole after walking on branches that had been placed over it to mask the opening. “With a depth of 1m20, concrete re-inforced irons 2 mm in diameter had been positioned vertically at the bottom to create piles. The gendarme was impaled by one leg and a metal stake that had got in between his bullet-proof vest and body vest, which had pierced but without penetration thanks to the Kevlar plate.”

In total, of this archipelago of 270,000 inhabitants, 212 police officers and gendarmes have been injured since May 13, but also a significant number of Kanaks that the authorities officially refuse to account for, but which we know is considerable and sometimes very serious: several insurgents have lost an eye or had facial bones smashed following shots from police flash balls, others have bullet wounds and are in coma.

Athens,Greece: The only ethical consumption is expropriation, by Anarchists

via: athens.indymedia.

The only ethical consumption is expropriation.

In the face of the hijacking of our lives we refuse to remain inactive. That’s why on Thursday June 6th we storm on morning times  at the A.B. supermarket located on the National Resistance street ( Εθνικής Αντιστάσεως ) in Kaisariani. We went in, took what we wanted and left undisturbed.

This location was chosen in an attempt to break the regime of terror and inaction that has prevailed in recent months in the area, due to the suffocating increase in police, both static forces and patrols. We are re-residentializing our spaces and neighbourhoods, which the State is methodically trying to sterilize, turning them into hotbeds of lawlessness and resistance.

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

TREES SPIKED AND MACHINES DESTROYED AT PIPELINE WORKSITES ( Portland OR, USA)

Over the weekend, two simultaneous attacks occurred at construction sites for a major refined petroleum pipeline running through the forested hills of Portland OR. Work is ongoing to upgrade the pipeline, which is run by Kinder Morgan and carries diesel and gasoline between Portland and Eugene.

The pipeline is an essential supply line for gas stations in the area and part of a bigger network that runs up the West coast.

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

Extremely expensive Tesla completely burnt out (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)

Happened in the night between 10 and 11 June in Amsterdam.

Just after 3:30 a.m., a parked Tesla burned out completely on the Heemstedestraat in Nieuw-West. This type of car cost about 108,000 euros new. The fire brigade had arrived shortly after the report, but by then it was already clear that there was little left to save. The flames were already shooting out of the electric car meters high.

There was also a lot of smoke released. The exact cause of the fire is not yet known. Given the time of day, arson is not ruled out, but a short circuit could also be a cause. That will be looked into.
