[Switch off] Rail strike extended
We took advantage of the back-to-back strikes and protests to paralyze the rail tracks near Düsseldorf in the Eller district again two weeks ago, using an incendiary device. They could not be repaired before the start of the freight strike. The fact that the State Protection Service (Staatsschutz) is now leading the investigation shows us the potential that such simple means can develop with the right timing.
Marcelo was convicted by the military court in the 90s for various urban guerrilla actions when he was a member of the Mapu-Lautaro (Marxist-Lenenist organization with which he broke ties afterward to begin moving towards antiauthoritarian paths). He was in prison for these actions for more than a decade and was released with intra-prison benefits. Said benefit was broken after he went underground when he was accused by the press and the police of having participated in various bank robberies. For these acts he would be sentenced to 14 years of prison.
From Espacio Fénix and thankful for their willingness, we present a brief interview that we carried out with the comrade’s legal team with the intention of understanding his current legal situation.
1. Under judicial logic and time served, Marcelo has already finished his sentence for bank expropriations. Why is he still in prison?
Both of these command line applications use a protocol (ICMP) that is not supported by the Tor network. Here is an adapted version of the guide that will work from Tails.
STEP 1: PICK A TARGET
Anything with a URL or IP address will work. What’s an IP address? It’s a set of 4 numbers that works like a ZIP/postal code for the vast mail system of the Internet. IP is short for Internet Protocol, which are a bunch of rules written in the early days of the Internet to ensure that your requests and replies all eventually go where they should, even if they take different paths across the middle of the network Continue reading How to locate data centers→
In this case, the Marseille Gendarmerie’s Research Section was reinforced by the SDAT (Anti-Terrorist Subdivision) […] under the vague notion of “extreme violence”. The means at their disposal are considerable — telephony, wiretapping, physical surveillance, spyware, facial recognition, GPS tracking, etc.

Loire: the authorities are concerned about sabotage against the power grid
An electricity pylon sawn down, the mayor of Roche-la-Molière worries about “ecoterrorism”
Le Progrès, December 26, 2023
Since November 1, when a fire broke out at the Volvon RTE substation in Saint-Bonnet-les-Oules, the Loire department has been facing a new kind of threat. Although the incident caused no immediate harm, the Gendarmerie’s investigation quickly confirmed its criminal nature, as traces of an accelerant were found on site.
Barely three weeks later, on November 20, an extra-high-voltage pylon operated by RTE on the Bessy plateau in Roche-la-Molière was sawed down. As the police took charge of the initial formalities, the event was linked to the fire at the beginning of the month and to another act of mischief in the Puy-de-Dôme region. The Gendarmerie’s research section in Lyon then took charge of the case. Continue reading Loire, France : the authorities are concerned about sabotage against the power grid→
Train traffic between Marseille and Toulon interrupted due to sabotage
Figaro/La Marseillaise, January 15, 2024
This sabotage is costing users of SNCF’s southeastern rail network dearly. This Monday morning, train traffic was severely disrupted between Marseille and Toulon. Several cables were set on fire between the two stops served by TER trains, momentarily cutting off rail traffic for several hours.
The alarm was sounded at around 5:30 am. A “cable artery” that ensures the smooth running of the rail network had been “set on fire” between La Pomme and Marseille-Blancarde. “It’s not our installations that have caught fire, the fire is deliberate”, explains the SNCF, referring to “an act of malice”. The police also took fingerprints and noted the damage.
Last Monday, the zealous mouthpieces of the Bavarian prefecture were a little disoriented in their reports of the Sunday news. Whereas the first weekend of December had been marked by snowfalls that temporarily blocked rail and air traffic in Munich, the following weekend saw heat spikes that were as sudden as they were unusual. The fires were anything but accidental, and came at the very beginning of winter, putting a number of structures of domination out of action.
Without an image, without a word, and in three different places: in the Forstenrieder forest to the south-west of the city, in the Perlach forest further south, and also right in the middle of Munich, under a bridge spanning the Isar river. In the first two cases which were a bit more rural, as one major regional newspaper put it, “it would be a huge coincidence if two heavy, bulky and expensive forestry machines far apart from each other were to catch fire at the same time due to technical faults”. In each case, it was a tree feller – a machine costing 500,000 euros apiece to cut, delimb and chop down trees in no time at all – that went up in flames under the stars.
Territorial Action by Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group
On January 6 in the Las Araucarias, Los Copihues neighborhood we, the Matías Catrileo Propaganda Group, carried out a territorial takeover, moving in the neighborhood that marked 54 years since its creation under the name Popular Unity Occupation. We gave out pamphlets, zines and information that highlight the importance of direct action and territorial self organization as valid and necessary means to retake our lives, just as Matías taught us.
There are many examples across history that show us how, from a place of autonomy and direct action, that create other ways of inhabiting this world in the here and now. Land occupations constitute one of the most effective forms to solve, in a direct way, a problem as large as access to housing, as well as empowering the revolutionary struggle, creating fertile spaces to carry out revolutionary processes.
On January 3 in different parts of the territory controled by the State of Chile, barricades were raised and confrontations took place in a new commemoration (No.16) of the comrade Matías Catrileo, who in a context of territorial recuperation and reclamation, was assassinated in the ex-plantation Santa Margarito by lance corporal Walter Ramírez Inostroza.
Milan,Windows of the estate agency RE/MAX smashed in solidarity with the Palestinian people the night between the 23rd and the 24th of January we smashed the windows of a Re Max estate agency in Milan.

The companies that collaborate and support the Israeli apartheid are many and are present here in our city. Sabotage also starts from here! In the attack on the accomplices of Israel.
Brittany: the internet and telephone network is hanging by a thread
January 3, 2023: The situation on the West-Breton network at the end of the morning… after repairs began on the “vandalized” fiber optic cable
Internet and telephony: huge breakdown on Breton networks, act of vandalism reported France3/France Bleu/Le Télégramme, January 3, 2024
A giant blackout has been affecting Bouygues Télécom, SFR and Free since 3am on Wednesday January 3 in the four departments of Brittany. No internet connection, no telephone in Finistère, Morbihan and Côtes-d’Armor, or Loire-Atlantique, particularly in the Morlaix, Brest, Douarnenez, Concarneau and Quimper areas in Finistère, but also in Vannes and Lorient in Morbihan.

Update from the Defense Actions of the Evacuated Anarchist Steki Utopia AD
February 8, 2024
A few hours after today’s evacuation of the Utopia AD Anarchist Steki, an open assembly was held in which a multitude of solidarity people were informed about the situation. As a first movement, a reflective march of 60 people poured into the city center, with a strong pulse and writing slogans. It should be noted that although the university security guards were instructed to call the police, the presence of police forces was non-existent throughout the protests.
The march ended outside the vacated hangout, where the next moves were discussed. We believe that the evacuation of the place is a continuation of the state attack on the occupied law school and the bringing in of 18 students, of which 12 turned into arrests. The main people responsible for the repressive operations are the rector Fotis Maris and the dean of the law school, Michalis Chrysomallis. Neither of them, however, has so far taken responsibility for the organization of the above actions.
We, on the one hand, call on the rector’s authority, if it has a trace of dignity, to stop shifting its responsibilities elsewhere, on the other hand, we assure that we will not choose the path of silence
