Number of the day: 89,502 preventive surveillance measures (France)

Number of the day: 89,502 preventive surveillance measures

Among the tedious publications that the French state releases every year to offer a semblance of democratic veneer is the annual report of the Commission Nationale de Contrôle des Techniques de Renseignement (CNCTR), the body created in 2015 to monitor the proper use of spying measures deployed by these agencies. The release of its 2022 Annual Report on June 15 may have passed somewhat unnoticed, but it’s still worth extracting a few bits of information. All the more so since the report details the official array of surveillance measures carried out on their own initiative, upstream and as a preventive measure, by all the intelligence agencies, leaving us to imagine how this expansion can then be translated into additional prolonged surveillance in a judicial rather than administrative framework (in the form of opening a preliminary investigation or inquiry, which the person who is targeted will not immediately be aware of).

To begin with, let us remind you of the list of agencies concerned by the following figures, which are the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE), the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure (DGSI), the Direction du Renseignement et de la Sécurité de la Défense (DRSD), the Direction du Renseignement Militaire (DRM), the Direction nationale du Renseignement et des Enquêtes douanières (DNRED) and the Unité de Traitement du Renseignement et Action contre les Circuits financiers clandestins (Tracfin), plus the so-called second-circle agencies, namely the Direction du Renseignement de la Préfecture de Police de Paris (DRPP) ; the Service central du Renseignement territorial (SCRT, ex-RG), the Sous-Direction de l’Anticipation opérationnelle (SDAO) and the Service national du Renseignement pénitentiaire (SNRP). It should also be pointed out that these figures are, of course, the tip of the iceberg, i.e. those recorded within the “legal” framework of supervision by the CNCTR, and not the raw reality in all its complexity, which is obviously greater.

EN/IT/GR : Audio Message by Anarchist prisoner D. Chatzivasiliadis for the Uprising in France

Solidarity message from Greek prisons.

Tuesday 4 July 2023

My sisters and my brothers. Those of you who are fighting against the military machine of the European imperialist class today. Those of you who have not forgotten the slaughter of the Algerians in Paris 60 years ago. Those of you who are struggling so as not to live like slaves until death. Those of you who went with bare hands in front of the lines of the killers, for water, for the land, for the community and the freedom. Those of you who revive the spirit of Louis Blanqui. The youth of the Commune. You thunder deep into our hearts to us, the captive guerrillas all over the earth. The confrontation will continue to become more and more violent day – day. Capitalist culture has no future. We give all our existence to build proletarian – social autonomy and armed power.

Long live revolutionary anarchism.

Long live the international.

Ahead is the rebellion.

Messaggio di solidarietà dalle carceri greche

Martedì 4 luglio 2023

Sorelle e fratelli miei. Voi che oggi combattete contro la macchina militare dell’ordine imperialista europeo […]. Voi che non avete dimenticato il massacro degli algerini a Parigi 60 anni fa. Voi che state lottando per non vivere come schiavi fino alla morte. Voi che avete marciato a mani nude davanti alle file degli assassini a Sainte-Soline e altrove, per l’acqua, per la terra, per la comunità e per la libertà.

Motte-Servolex (Savoie): Another downed electricity pylon! (France)

Motte-Servolex (Savoie): Another downed electricity pylon!

On the night of June 25 to 26, we sawed off the legs of a 225kV electricity pylon in the vicinity of La Motte-Servolex, on the outskirts of Chambery.

We followed the protocol described in Claim for the sabotage of an electric pylon, which we reproduce below:

1) Saw the transversal bars.
Note: These are the bars that connect the legs together.
2) Saw with oblique cuts on the two legs in the direction of the fall.

General, General News Action Sabotage, solidarity in Greece, Solidarity Means Attack

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device with gaseous explosives at the EFKA building in Zografou by Anarchist Attack Group. (Athens,Greece)

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device with gaseous explosives at the EFKA (Health center of Zografou ) building in Zografou area which resulted in damage to a State vehicle of EFKA as well as to the building.

We would like to begin by emphasizing that we do not intend this text to speak more than our action. An attack on the State, on an institution we think speaks for itself. Let these few words be a necessary companion and political defence of the flame of our attack.

We have chosen this target as it is a State institution created by the former Minister of Labour Hatzidakis and now under the authority of this ministry, and responsible for pensions, insurances and labour insurance. In other words, everything that constitutes modern capitalist Christianity. To put it more simply. I have worked for 40 years hoping for a pension to ”live my life” as it comes, and if, and with as much money as the government of the day decides. We even know that this particular body has deliberately delayed the payment of thousands of pensions. But we are not here to beg the State to give the pensions to the ‘poor people’ who have forcefully made sure that they have re-elected their oppressors. We are here to remind the State that any attack on the lower economic strata will involve an attack on itself.

We are conspiring: update on the current investigation

From kontrapolis.info, via Counter-Surveillance Resource Center

Languages: German •  French
Download: PDF (read, A4 booklet, letter booklet) • TEXT

Introduction

With the following text, we want to give an overview of the current investigation against two comrades who were arrested on February 16th 2023 in Adlershof, Berlin. We believe that individual experiences can be of a collective use when we find the right ways to share them. Instances of repression, should especially not be the fate carried by an individual, but an opportunity for us to come together in an offensive moment. This text should be one step further in that direction.

What happened?

In the night from 15th to 16th of February, the helicopter of the federal police (“Pirol”[1]) is on one of its routine surveillance flights. At 0:26am the team, with the help of thermal imaging cameras, identifies two people on the tracks south of S-Bahnhof Adlershof[2]. They alert the control center at Ostbahnhof[3], which then sends out two patrol cars and one civil car (all of them federal police, as the railway is under federal jurisdiction) to Adlershof.

Everywhere: 5th and 6th nights of riotous revolt, it’s still burning and looting (France)

via: Sansnom translated by Act for freedom now!

[Following the police murder of Nahel in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) on Tuesday morning, a first, a second night, a third night, then a fourth night of riots took place across the country, destructive riots of which we published broad illustrated reviews here. And finally, two others (5th and 6th) took place this weekend during the night of 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 July, under heavy police pressure (plus that exerted by para-municipal associative structures or citizens).

What marked these fifth and sixth nights of riots, which the State and its mouthpieces presented as much calmer despite the 157 buildings burned or damaged in a short weekend-end, was in particular that – for lack of being able to hold the street sufficiently or carry out abundant looting as on the previous days/nights – we have also seen in the last two days more targeted and fewer attacks. These have included places dedicated to Justice (Court or House of Law – in Créteil, Aix-en-Provence, Blois, Forbach, Villeneuve-sur-Lot), a tennis club of rich people or private property belonging to the mayors. But rest assured, the institutions of local domination (community centre, media library, town hall, school, police) have not been spared either… ]

Some Numbers

For the night of Saturday 1 to Sunday 2 July, the Ministry of the Interior recorded 871 public road fires, 958 vehicles and 123 buildings set aflame. A total of 26 police stations (ten police stations, ten gendarmerie barracks and six municipal police stations) were attacked. The Ministry of the Interior reports that 45 members of the security forces were wounded and some 773 people arrested on the fifth night of the revolt.
For the night of Sunday 2 to Monday 3 July, the Ministry of the Interior recorded 352 public road fires, 297 cars burned and 34 buildings burned. Some 157 people were arrested during this sixth night of revolt.

Ile-de-France

In total, between the night of June 27 to 28 and July 2 to 3, there were officially 5,662 vehicles burned, 1,313 buildings burned or damaged, including 254 local police and gendarmerie stations. 722 of security forces were injured.Lognes (Seine-et-Marne), night of July 1 to 2: the community centre with the incendiary car which was used to ram it.

In Lognes (Seine-et-Marne), on the night of 1 to 2 July, the Simone Signoret social centre was targeted by a car used to ram into it, which was then ignited.

In Groslay (Val d’Oise), a municipal police vehicle is set on fire outside the police station on the night of 1 to 2 July.Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), night of 1 to 2 July: the Red Cross van did not escape the rioters

In Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), a Red Cross van was set on fire during the night of 1 to 2 July. In a press release, the Red Cross said that this truck contained all of their general public-training materials and cited “very significant” financial harm.

Following the police assassination of Nahel in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) Tuesday morning, a first, a second, then a third night of rioting took place throughout the country; destructive riots on which we have published long lists here. And finally, a fourth was not long in coming this last night of Friday 30th to Saturday 1st July.

[Summary of regional and national press, July 1, 2023]

Everywhere: 4th night of riotous revolt, it’s still burning and looting

What marked this fourth night of riots, in addition to clashes with the police around the country, was new cities joining the fight (small or medium -sized), the beginnings of the use or theft of firearms (Lyon, Marseille), and looting for which hundreds of youths have been able to show up (including in the day or early evening: according to the Minister of Finance, the summary so far is that 200 large retail stores were attacked and looted, along with 250 tobacconists (newsagents), 250 banks, and a dozen shopping centres — 700 in all).

Regarding the targets – which we concentrate more willingly, while the journo-cops filter them more – it remains everything that embodies local state and institutional domination (from town halls to schools, socio-cultural centres, social landlords, or the post office) which were most burnt this night.

Some figures

The Ministry of the Interior identified last night from June 30 to 1sthttps://sansnom.noblogs.org/files/2023/07/00321.jpg July, 2,560 fires on the public highway (against 3,880 in the night From Thursday to Friday), 1,350 vehicles torched (against 1,919 at night previous) and 266 burnt or damaged buildings, including 26 town halls, 24 schools and 5 justice establishments (against 492 the previous night). In addition, 58 cop dens were attacked (31 commissariat-type stations, 16 municipal police stations. and 11 gendarmerie barracks). 1,311 people were arrested that night across France. A total of 79 police officers and gendarmes were injured.

Everywhere : 3rd night of riotous revolt, looting and fires à gogo [Re-MàJ] (France)


via:sansnom.Translated by Act for freedom now!

[Following the police murder of Nahel in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) on Tuesday morning, a first (in english) then a second night of riots (in english) took place all over the country,  destructive riots which we have published large illustrated reviews of here. And finally, a third night from Thursday 29 to Friday 30 June— despite the announced deployment of 40,000 police officers, four times more than the day before, despite the arrival of the RAID (in Toulouse, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Strasbourg), of the BRI (Nanterre) and the GIGN (in Evry, Savigny le Temple, Nantes, Toulouse, Tours and Avignon) in anti-riot mode, in spite of the night curfews, in spite of the cessation of urban surface transport in the Ile-de-France and elsewhere from 9pm, in spite of the circling of gendarmerie helicopters and police drones, and despite the prefectorial prohibitions of carrying and transporting pyrotechnics as fuel.

What marked this third night of riots, in addition to clashes with the police across the country, now affecting more than a hundred cities (including small ones), has not only been a fine constancy in burning public transport, but also in multiplying looting of all kinds (sometimes during actual raids in the city centre, but also in Darty, Decathlon or shopping centres), with several destructions of businesses and temples of merchandise. And with a single common language, which goes without any claim or dialogue with power or its mediators: Fire!
Note that today, June 30, the first looting of the day has already begun, such as at the Apple Store and Lacoste in the centre of Strasbourg, the Spar supermarket in Reims or the major shopping centres of Rosny 2 and Créteil Soleil in the Paris region… ]

A few figures

https://sansnom.noblogs.org/files/2023/06/123.jpg
The Ministry of the Interior recorded that during the night from 29 to 30 June 79 cop lairs are attacked (39 national police premises, 24 of the municipal police and 16 of the gendarmerie), and 119 public buildings are targeted, including 34 town halls and 28 schools. In addition, 917 people were arrested last night all over France, including 408 in Paris, in Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne (and 170 in police custody). A total of 249 policemen and gendarmes were injured last night.


Today, June 30, Elisabeth Borne declared from the police station of Evry-Courcouronnes (Essonne) that «all hypotheses», including the establishment of the state of emergency, are envisaged by the executive for «the return of republican order», For its part, the Elysée palace stressed that Emmanuel Macron was ready to adopt the “no taboo” policing system… For a start, the gendarmerie’s 18 new Centaur tanks will be mobilized tonight, and all surface transit across the country has been shut down by the ministry of the interior.
