Anarchist comrade Eat kidnapped by the police and held incommunicado (Indonesia)

After the uprising in August 2025, the Indonesian state is weakened and looks for scapegoats. On the 23rd of September, the bastards claimed another one and kidnapped comrade Eat. Eat is a wellknown anarchist who had spent time in prison on several occasions, such as for armed robbery and an incendiary attacks against a bank. His ex-girlfriend, Anzi Matta, snitched on him and that’s why he got caught, according to police. The cops seized his laptop and phone, so that will be part of his case buildup. The police bastards are holding him incommunicado, like the rest of the anarchists.

Right now he’s being held at the West Java Regional Police Station in Bandung. That’s where many comrades are held. We don’t know what official charges and accusations they will hit him with. We do know that he was being publicly accused of being the leader of the anarchist “Star of Chaos” variant in Indonesia, in connection with the riots last August. We have not heard about such a leader of anarchists, let alone nihilists, before. Nor have we heard of any such formal network of chaotics yet. Evidence of cops is simply, possession of flag or items, zines, musics, social media profile, participation or not in the riots, in many cases it appears, to try to legitimate the use of the anti-terrorist laws. At first sight seems like another absurd and fantastical concoction of the anti-terrorist unit, such as the lie that international funding of $500,000 created the revolt. This is part of the Indonesian state trying to change the narrative. Across the region our currents and tendencies grow. Their future is finished, anarchism is the narrative.

Juan-30-sett-presidioDownload

In the desolation of a growing war among the exploited some revolutionary actions have shone, ripped through the mist, breaking complicit silence and weary resignation to powerlessness. The anarchist comrade Juan Sorroche has been accused of some of these actions. Among them, one against the international Police school, the POLGAI in Brescia, a structure training in military techniques of torture and annihilation, which also collaborates with the Israelis.

LEIPZIG (GERMANY) : PROFITEERS FROM CONTROL ON THE GRILL

Fire to those who profit from control and surveillance
Teilauto on the grill

Translated from German from de.indymedia, 6th August 2025

In Leipzig over the past few years a number of vehicles belonging to the municipal service in charge of respect for law and order, known as « municipal police » [Polizeibehörde], have caught fire spontaneously on various occasions.

In 2020, they lost so many cars that they could no longer turn up to their places of intervention. Interventions during which they harassed people in parks because they didn’t want to lock down during the state of emergency linked to the coronavirus, 2G controls [controls linked to the obligatory health pass], etc.

Kassel (Germany): Fire at army vehicle depot

[On Tuesday, August 19, in Kassel (Hesse region), at around 3 a.m., flames engulfed four civilian vehicles belonging to the German army (Bundeswehr) fleet, parked on the site of the former Lüttich barracks in the Marbachshöhe district. All four vehicles (one Iveco, two Mercedes Vitos, and one Volkswagen station wagon) were completely destroyed in the attack, with damages estimated at €150,000 by the police. The following is a translation of the communiqué published the next day on de.indymedia and signed by “anarchists”…]


Never ready for war! Fire to the Bundeswehr vehicle depot in Kassel

It’s war, and Germany is preparing for it. A military, political, and economic frenzy has broken out, and everyone is expected to rally behind it. “Operation Germany” is supposed to get the country ready for war within five years, and camouflage is popping up everywhere: Rheinmetall, KNDS, and others are snapping up sites one after another, the civilian clause is crumbling in universities, Volkswagen’s management is openly considering getting into the arms business, hospitals and supply structures are being prepared for war, and the Bundeswehr (German army) is promoting military service in schools, on social media, and on billboards through carefully polished marketing campaigns. Investment in armaments is becoming a principle of sustainability.

Alongside material and ideological rearmament, there is an authoritarian shift within the country, as evidenced by the crackdown on solidarity with Palestine and the anti-militarist movement. This historic repressive turn is also in full swing.

Italy: Updates about the anarchist Salvatore Vespertino“Ghespe”

After months of managing to have a linear correspondence with the anarchist comrade Salvatore Vespertino, presently locked up in the prison of Spoleto and with application of censorship of mail, we have noticed progressive delays in correspondence getting in and out.

We don’t know whether some letters are disappearing informally or not as is happening with other comrades, for example in the case of Paolo Todde, prisoner in the prison of Uta (CA) who only receives registered post. From Salvatore’s last letter going back to 28/08 that reached us on 8/09 we learn that he has 18 letters formally blocked, as well as a number of packages of books that have been classified as parcels in spite of the P.L. postal settings.

The state of israel murders. The greek state is complicit (Greece)

The State of Israel murders

For 77 years it has been displacing, pillaging and exterminating the Palestinian population. Incessantly following the nationalist and expansionist Zionist ideology, it has established an apartheid regime against the arab inhabitants. It is pursuing a policy of colonialism, constantly expanding its territory. For the last year and a half, it has been carrying out a genocidal operation in the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands of people and driving them to starvation, with the declared aim of removing them completely from the area by any means necessary. At the same time, it is demolishing refugee camps in the West Bank, maiming and murdering people in struggle and directing the atrocities of the settler militias. At international level, it applies the doctrine of ‘preventive war’ and has, in the last year alone, launched police-style warfare operations in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and, most recently, Iran.
The Greek state is complicit
In its effort to increase its geopolitical power and serve its national interests, it is Israel’s most willing and loyal ally in the Mediterranean region, providing full cooperation at the political, military, energy and economic levels. If there is anything left to do in this grim situation, it is to undermine the plans of the Greek state and Israeli interests in Greece.

Wholeheartedly on the side of fighting dignity

How To Get Things Burning

This brochure is intended for militants on the radical left who want to embark on a new or renewed path of persistently putting into question the overwhelming “lack of alternative” to the political shift to the right. The space for (emancipatory) movement has noticeably narrowed, and the methods of enforcing this narrowness have become more diverse, ranging from blatantly repressive to subtly manipulative.

This brochure is not a replacement for PRISMA, which is now ten years old, because we essentially only focus on constructing time-delayed incendiary devices. And yet, this brochure attempts to do much more: presenting working methods that make clandestine militant action conceivable and feasible even beyond arson, despite the ever-expanding capabilities and powers of the investigating authorities.

The first part of the brochure therefore focuses on the traces that can lead to identification and how, so that we can avoid or at least minimize them. In particular, we devote more space to the topics of DNA traces, scent traces (mantrailing), and data traces, because many changes are forcing us to adapt our working methods.

Some may initially be shocked by the amount of work these adjustments entail and long for the days when they could “spontaneously” set off with the same balaclava and their tried and true leather gloves. We long for those times too, but wishing for them won’t make them happen. We must fight for this room to maneuver, which likely involves militant action.

So, get to work on the unpleasant engagement of learning about the enemy and then head out into the night. A politically incisive and heart-warming bonfire — without a guaranteed ticket to jail — will make up for it.

Know your enemy and fight back!

Pola Roupa:The Hostage-taking does not end, it just changes its face

The Hostage-taking does not end, it just changes its face

Conditional release imposes the well-known restrictions: Presence at the police station and a ban on leaving the country until the end of the sentence. This is a normal procedure. However, what the state reserves for the cases of prisoners convicted under 187A, the well-known “anti-terrorism” law, is the subjection of everyone to the control and restrictions of an authority that was also established in Greece following a European directive.

This is the Anti-Money Laundering Authority, Section B (from now on in the text I will refer to it as an Authority) which is headed by prosecutors. Based on Article 50 of Law 4557/2018, everyone who has been convicted of dynamic-armed forms of resistance, that is, for “terrorism” according to state phraseology and legislation, has no right over any asset in their possession, whether it concerns bank accounts or real estate or anything else, since everything is frozen by the Authority.

Aurillac, France: Riot festival



Bus shelters and windows broken, bins burned, barriers piled up, urban fittings dismantled, graffiti on walls, this was the Aurillac city centre spectacle last night after the violent incidents that took place for the first evening of the street theatre festival. According to the news in La Montagne, confirmed by ICI Pays d’Auvergne, it was the interpellation of a young man surprised while spraying on a wall, that set off the violence. A number of festival-goers leapt to his defence, very soon joined by others, some of whom were masked.

Prairieland Defendants Arraigned in Fort Worth Federal Court
Defendants Remain in Custody on up to $10 Million Bonds for Unindicted Charges

September 24th, 2025

DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX — Defendants arrested in connection with the widely-covered July 4th protest at the Prairieland Immigration Detention Center were arraigned on Monday and Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Fort Worth. The arraignments came after nearly three months without movement by the prosecution and marks an important milestone in one of the most significant protest-related legal cases at a time of rising public dissent against Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

Currently, 17 people are facing charges ranging from attempted murder to obstruction of justice following a protest that defendants and supporters are confident was not planned to be violent. The police allege that shots were fired by one person, injuring an officer; this single allegation has expanded to accusations the defendants were involved in a vast conspiracy. “The police are clearly using this as an opportunity to criminalize protest against ICE detentions and deportations,” said Stephanie Shiver, wife of defendant Meagan Morris. “Their narrative is ridiculous and unbelievable.”

Berlin (Germany): cutting power to Europe’s largest technology park  

[Note of Sans Nom: On Tuesday, September 9, in the southern districts of Berlin, at around 3:30 a.m., flames engulfed two 35-meter-high, 110-kV electricity pylons located on Königsheide Street in the Johannisthal district, cutting power to Europe’s largest technology park located nearby in Altendorf. Steel chains were also wrapped around the cable insulation sheaths to cause a short circuit once they had melted in the flames. These two pylons are located at the end of the overhead line, where electricity passes from the air to the underground route.
More broadly, all of the southern districts of the German capital were left without power, including its 50,000 residents, 3,000 businesses (including those in the technology park), shopping centers, trams, a dozen schools (which remained closed), traffic lights, and telephone communications.
The temporary connection system that was put in place only managed to restore full power after 60 hours (on the afternoon of Thursday, September 11), and repairs to the network on the two pylons are expected to last until 2026, according to a spokesperson for the company Stromnetz. This power outage in Berlin is also the longest in decades, since the accidental outage in Köpenick in February 2019 affected only 30,000 households and lasted about 30 hours.
Here is a translation from German of the communiqué published on the same day on de.indymedia, signed “Some anarchists”…]

Attack on the military-industrial complex – Blackout in Europe’s largest technology park
September 9, early morning: thousands of cities wake up, millions of people are roused from their sleep by the shrill beep of their alarm clocks, heralding the start of another day of monotony and apathy—15 minutes to drink a coffee before rushing off to work. An hour on public transport, a few exchanged glances, no one talking, everyone glued to their screens. Tons of cars crisscross the streets, the noise of sirens scaring the few birds circling above the city. Neighborhoods become a little more dreary every day. Loneliness settles in among the crowds, between concrete buildings, fences, and cameras. Surrounded by a police presence that threatens to suffocate us more and more.
Advertising screens encourage us to consume or invite us to join the German army (Bundeswehr). Yes, here we are again: “The world will rise again thanks to the German spirit” [a famous line from a poem by Geibel in 1861, intended as a call to the world to “become more German”]. The “historic turning point” requires unwavering defense of the homeland and readiness for war, with the “body of the people” sticking together and making sacrifices. Militarization is advancing, and behind the neoliberal promise of prosperity, the fascist face is showing itself more and more openly. Resignation and pessimism are gaining ground, and there is a certain sadness in the air.
