Bristol is a city which hides its dark past and present behind a veneer of subversive culture and liberalism.

The history of exploitation and oppression that the cities wealth was
built upon is thriving today in the area of Filton. Home to the
Ministry of Defence and many arms companies, this is a part of the city that tries to stay hidden. Elbit have been the target of many actions, and have finally had their Bristol lease terminated when it is next due for renewal (to be replaced with another monstrosity we are sure).

We wanted to higlight the role of another company: Leonardo. Leonardo is one of the world’s largest arms manufacturers, making arms sales of $11.2 billion in 2021.

Tenant rage strikes again!
In view of tenants’ day, we decided to answer the call for the creation of collaborative art on Airbnbs, because we’re sick and tired of passing by housing that serves above all to enrich shitty fucking landlords rather than house our neighbors. We will never any longer ignore these new buildings destined only for short-term rentals, while we struggle to put a roof over our heads.

In the past decades, the surveillance capabilities of State actors have greatly diversified, thanks in part to new technological developments such as video surveillance, mobile phones and DNA sampling. Despite this, physical surveillance — the direct observation of people or activities for the purpose of gathering information — is still widely used by State actors, in particular in cases where other surveillance techniques are not effective. Our Threat Library references examples of the use of physical surveillance against anarchists and other rebels.

Surveillance Countermeasures is a 2019 book on physical surveillance and the mitigations one can take to protect against it, written by former U.S. spy Aden C. Magee. It extensively covers topics such as the principles and tactics of surveillance operations, surveillance detection, and anti-surveillance.

We believe this book can be an essential read for anarchists and other rebels at risk of physical surveillance by law enforcement or intelligence agencies.

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.”

AnarSec is a new resource designed to help anarchists navigate the hostile terrain of technology — defensive guides for digital security and anonymity, as well as offensive guides for hacking. All guides are available in booklet format for printing and will be kept up to date.

As anarchists, we must defend ourselves against police and intelligence agencies that conduct targeted digital surveillance for the purposes of incrimination and network mapping. With the defensive series, our goal is to obscure the State’s visibility into our lives and projects. Our recommendations are intended for all anarchists, and they are accompanied by guides to put the advice into practice.

With the upcoming offensive series, we hope to contribute to the practice of hacking the State and capital. Astute readers may notice that the art featured on our homepage and booklets is taken from communiqués detailing how anarchists robbed a bank (Phineas Fisher) and destroyed police servers (AntiSec) using only a keyboard.

The defensive series currently includes:

Tails

• Tails for Anarchists
• Tails Best Practices

Qubes OS

• Qubes OS for Anarchists

Phones

• Kill the Cop in Your Pocket
• GrapheneOS for Anarchists

General

• Linux Essentials
• Remove Identifying Metadata From Files
• Encrypted Messaging for Anarchists
• Make Your Electronics Tamper-Evident

A communiqué, also sometimes called a reportback or hit report, is a report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications. Mainstream media may suppress reporting about certain tactics or the reason for choosing a target may be unclear, so submitting a communiqué is a way to share news, tactics, and political motivations directly.

This guide describes how to securely submit an anonymous communiqué online. It is written for anarchists, but could be useful to other audiences like journalists or dissident groups sharing information while concealing their identities. While some communiqués are signed by a group or individual claiming responsibility, this guide focuses on anonymity.

Nothing you do on computers or the internet is ever totally safe, but you can reduce most technology-based risk by following some simple steps. There are many methods beyond those shared here, but this is a set of instructions that will hopefully help you.
