Quebec,Canada : Northvolt: the poison-tree will fall

Let the axe
Strike at the root, the poison-tree will fall

On Sunday, May 5th, five incendiary devices were placed at the Northvolt construction site in Quebec. This action was taken to damage machinery and reduce the project’s ability to continue. Unfortunately, these devices failed to ignite. If there is one takeaway to share, when choosing materials consider how weather (high humidity or rain) might decrease the chances of a device igniting. The longer the timer, the longer the device will be exposed to environmental factors thereby decreasing the window of success.

Why choosing to attack and damage property? While Northvolt, a transnational corporation, sells themselves as the leader of the green transition, they are in fact its headstone. The electric vehicles the company plans to provide with their batteries are a false solution to the environmental destruction caused by industrial society; rather this expension of the automotive industry is only allowing the devastating impact of car infrastructure to continue. With this project, Canada’s insatiable appetite for natural resources will only grow. Lithium mining, which is essential in the process of producing Northvolt’s “green” Lithium Ion batteries, is poisoning human communities and entire ecosystems across the land. Lithium is already being extracted from unceded Indigenous territories here in “Quebec”, with many new mines planning to start operating in the next few years. With this kind of mega project, lakes, forests and wetlands will disappear under new roads and pit mines.

Freedom to the Fighter Andreas F. (Mesologgi ,Greece)

On the 22nd Andreas F. was kidnapped by the lackeys of counter-terrorism and the conventional police of Patras. He was taken to Athens for questioning and imprisoned. The cops raided his house, trying to find anything that could contribute to their fabricated incriminatory account. On the 26th the attack on the struggling social base by orgious repression was supplemented by an attack on the “Annex” university occupation and the arrest of 26 comrades.

The dogs of the state undertake ruthless war against the movement of Patras in order to completely crush it. What has happened is more contemporary than ever, and it is the responsibility of anyone struggling to reverse the roles. For the fear of those who sew and maintain it. Let their terrorism not intrude on society and our conciences.

Strong Andreas…

No cell enough to lock our souls

No system enough to stabilise us

No law enough to subdue us

Solidarity to the 26 arrested comrades

We’ll catch the breath of freedom when the cells are lit

Bassecourt (Switzerland): arson of deep geothermal energy sensors (+ additional information)

Sensors used for geothermal energy were stolen, then set on fire
Le Quotidien jurassien/Le Temps (Switzerland), April 19, 2024

Residents of a neighborhood south of Bassecourt had a restless start to the night on Wednesday April 17. Shortly after 11 p.m., they were disturbed by the sound of an explosion. “There was a fire in the middle of the road,” says one resident. While the fire lasted for many minutes and gave off thick smoke, this witness later discovered that the fire had been started on a pile of electronic equipment.

“My first reaction was to think that someone had set fire to a box of fireworks”, confides the man who called the local council the following morning. On the contrary, it was a number of geophones currently being used as part of a geophysical measurement campaign in the valley.

Limassol, Cyprus: Comrades head outside the TAE Police station in solidarity of murdered migrant from Bangladesh. 10 arrested, two wounded.

A protest took place in Limassol on Saturday, 13 April, 2024 concerning the death of a migrant worker from Bangladesh on Wednesday 17 April.

In a statement calling for a protest circulating on social media, it is mentioned that “the fact that migrants chose to risk their lives rather than be in the hands of the state shows us the treatment that migrants receive when they are in the hands of the state and how just the thought of being deported makes risking their lives a one-way street.”

Domokos prison, Greece: Hunger strike of Nikos Maziotis

Not a day has passed since the publication of the text about the kind of care the “penitentiary” system provides and gives the external guard of Domokos prison the right to blackmail prisoners. Today, the external guard of Domokos prison along with its commander in charge refused to transfer me to the hospital of Lamia for an orthopedic examination concerning a 3rd degree rupture of the gastrocnemius muscle because I would not accept their undignified and degrading modality of body search. I did not refuse a body search in general, I refused the humiliating way in which they want to carry it out. They are essentially blackmailing me in order to get the care I am entitled to, putting my health at risk.

In response to the blatant violation of my rights, I am going on hunger strike as of today (14/5/2024) with a request to be transferred to the hospital of Lamia without suffering the humiliating form of investigation demanded by the external guard of Domokos prison.

This request concerns not only this case but any case of treatment requiring transfer to a hospital for examination, surgery or treatment while I am in prison.

Sweep out snitches and their accomplices!

 [ – Česky – ] [ – Français – ]

In 2022, the section of the International Workers Association in the region of Russia called for a boycott of the provocateurs, Anatoly Dubovik and Alexander Kolchenko. The statement said:

The latter means that these fake anarchists, by publishing the addresses of anti-war activists located in Russia, are directly inciting Russian secret services and nationalist thugs against them, as opponents of the war, in order to deal with them with their hands! In the conditions of ongoing harassment, dismissals, threats and physical repression against anti-military-minded people in Russia, such actions are tantamount to real denunciation with a direct indication of whom the repressive forces should turn their attention to.

Caen, France : Kisses (to ASN :)

On 15 April 2024, the internet cabinet of the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire [Nuclear Safety Authority] (ASN) in Caen was set on fire to take concrete action against nuclear power.

It’s a phoney institution : there is no such thing as safe nuclear power. The intensification of nuclear energy will begin with the launch of the EPR at Flamanville, authorised by the ASN, for even more destructive production and social control.

From mines to waste, death to the nuclear society.
In any case, we like neither nuclear power, nor police, so we might as well attack the so-called « nuclear police ».

Kisses

France: Bring the war home

(Indymedia Lille, April 13, 2024)

Fire at an antenna in a commercial zone in Labège (Toulouse).

The rhetoric of war and the race to rearm are becoming ever more pronounced. War is total. War of occupation, social war, genocide and devastation. Macron is thrilled at the prospect of continuing down this path of bloodshed and misery. War industry, rearmament and austerity.

It’s nauseating to have to stand by and watch the phallic masturbation of these warlords in suits. On the one hand, rivers of blood in full flood, and on the other, mountains of money piling up. The ritual is always the same: subjugate, dominate and annihilate to accumulate ever more power and money. How much more money can these bastards swallow?

Feeling powerless and knowing that this summer, with the Olympics, we’re going to get a Macronian ejaculation, doesn’t make you dream. To what extent will human beings be able to put up with this?

Saïx (Tarn) France : diggers and backhoes aflame on the A69 construction site

A69 freeway: several worksite machines set on fire last night in Saïx
La Dépêche, April 17, 2024 (excerpt)

via: sansnom

A new incident occurred last night on the A69 construction site at the Dicosa in Saïx. Around midnight, half a dozen hooded individuals surrounded the security guard on site, “to prevent him from raising the alarm”, according to Atosca. “The agent was intimidated and insulted. He is very shocked”, explains the company.

He then saw around thirty hooded people appear and hide. The individuals then set fire to several NGE construction machines. A few minutes later, another security guard making his rounds sounded the alarm. As a result, 4 pieces of equipment were set on fire and taken out of service, and Atosca lodged a complaint. Incendiary devices had already been discovered on the site over the past three weeks, and security guards had been instructed not to provoke a confrontation in the event of such an intrusion.

It’s now less than 100 days to the Olympic Games 2024 but for some the ‘JO du Zbeul’ have already begun it seems.

While communication to sell us their great nationalist holiday intensifies and a deluge of disgusting advertisements are piling up before our eyes every day when you take the metro or walk in the street, the goodies for sale displayed in the sponsoring stores of the Olympics and more (La Poste, Décathlon, La Grande Récré, etc.) ; we also see messages everywhere calling to zbeuler les JO [fuck the Olympics?]!

EN/ES/CATALAN : AGRO-CRUST XII MAY 11, 2024 D.I.Y. FESTIVAL IN KAN SEITAN (PEDRINYÁ/CRESPIÁ) [Girona area, Catalonia/X-pain]

Hi compas & friends!

As in recent years the Agro-Crust has been reduced to just one day/night of activities. We are all aware that the capabilities of the anarchist movement have decreased during this time in these territories quite a bit.

The impact of technocracy and the pandemic among others causes have caused many problems (climate, economic and social etc.). Capitalist states choose by wars and repression to save their rotten system. The consequences of all this are catastrophic, especially in the poor areas of the planet, but not exclusively. Droughts caused mainly by agriculture and industrial livestock, deforestation and destruction of ecosystems also has its impacts in the territories of the ‘first world’ states.

The strength of the struggles and resistance of every corner of the world planet depend on many factors that have to be tested locally to be effective in all the senses.
