ANTI-POLITICAL ★ INDIVIDUAL REVOLT ★ INFORMAL ORGANISATION ★ ATTACK
London is a disneyland for the world’s dominators. The scientific and economic elites and their armies of technicians rule here unopposed – without having to fight against any idea which could challenge the foundations of this society. For this reason, they are free to use this city as a stable base to plan, launch, and profit from one-sided slaughters which subdue the lands where ‘critical resources’ are to be found, whether in Congo (cobalt), Yemen (Saudi oil fields) or Gaza and the West Bank (water and land).
But London is not spared from the relentless sacrifice of life to the economy. The bosses and their enforcers have us exactly where they want us: our time and life sucked dry in forced pointless activity called work and school, made sick by toxic materials in order to sustain addiction to useless objects. This city of exploitation and control is an endless ‘opportunity’ for anyone with money and power and an upgraded, high-tech hell for the rest of us.
The latest ‘upgrade’ here in south London is the proposal to expand the tube network of hyper-speed exploitation down the Old Kent Road to Lewisham – a dirty deal between TFL and finance capital which is already yielding luxury developments, springing up like a rash. Rent, energy, food-price hikes which sow desperation and abject dependence on charity… The oppression of passing the days in mouldy, pest-ridden, flood-prone, flammable boxes… Limitless police-state controls on the neighbourhoods… These are just a few of the attacks being deployed.
Not everyone wants to accommodate themselves, fit in, bow their heads, conform to all this. And among those who want to fight back, not everyone wants to put their trust in political parties, trade unions, pressure groups, activists, university career-critics, community leaders, official organisations, federations, large social movements.
Some make the choice of individual revolt which can spread. These ideas and acts of rebellion have nothing to say to those in power, but instead speak directly to raging hearts. Each one in struggle to unleash their own freedom, breathing life into a self-organised struggle for the freedom of all.
This is what we want to explore in the South London Anarchist Bookfair – with discussions and publications, delving into ideas which are outside of time, outside of measure and popularity, out of control. We want to share and explore our choices in the struggle against power in all its disguises, here and now.

EDITORIAL
We have entered a condition in which the war rhetorics, actions and policies are proliferating and presented by the dominant groups as a ‘natural’ outcome – for some of its actors inevitable and for others legitimate – of the immediately preceding era, that of fear and imperilment. Now, the economic plunder, the strategies of customs tariffs and inflation, with all the techno-scientific controls at their side, are expressed in warlike terms.

URGENT CALL FOR SOLIDARITY WITH COMRADE PAOLO TODDE ON HUNGER STRIKE (Sardinia,Italy)
IT: Appello urgente alla solidarietà con il compagno Paolo Todde in sciopero della fame
ES: Llamada a la solidaridad con Paolo Todde en huielga de hambre
DE: Dringender Aufruf zur Solidarität mit dem Genossen Paolo Todde im Hungerstreik
FR: Appel urgent à la solidariété avec le camarade Paolo Todde en grève de la faim
The Sardinian comrade Paolo Todde, already struck by repression in the first half of 2000 in the investigation against the old anarchist social centre FRARIA in Cagliari, remanded in custody on a robbery charge since 23 October 2024 and already imprisoned a few years ago on a charge of armed robbery, began a hunger strike on 25 April along with other prisoners to protest against the unlivable conditions in the prison in Uta (Sardinia).
The intervention of the prisoners’ guarantors with their empty useless promises caused the collective strike to end after less than a week. Paolo decided to begin it again on May 8 with the clear intention of carrying it out to the bitter end. We point out that Paolo is over sixty years old and started the hunger strike with a body weight of only 61 kg. Paolo shares a thousand dreams with us: a free Sardinia, hatred against jails and the society that produces them and has never been indifferent to the violence and prevarications of the colonial occupation forces.

Russia: Radical resistance 15.03 – 30.04.2025
Bryansk : On the night of 18 April, Yevgeny Rytikov, head of the design bureau of the Bryansk Electromechanical Plant, was liquidated in Bryansk. He was responsible for the development and modernisation of REB and electronic intelligence systems for the Russian army, including the Krasukha complex.
His car was blown up with an IED. The explosive device under the bottom of the car went off as the man was getting into the cabin with his colleague. Both died on the spot.
Samara region
On the night of 18 to 19 April, unknown persons set fire to the administration building of Koshkinskiy district, Samara region.
The fire started in the office of housing and communal services and construction – furniture, equipment and documents were burnt. The resulting fire was extinguished for 1.5 hours. Gloves and a plastic cover were found on the spot. Despite the fact that there were surveillance cameras on the building of the district administration, it was not possible to establish the identity of the arsonist, as he knew about their ‘blind spots’ in advance.

Food Liberated (Hochelaga a neighborhood in Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
Hochelaga, April 30, 9pm
Tonight, people engaged in combative mutual aid. Food should be free, as with all essential items. The scourge of capitalism has made it so that necessities such as food and housing are things to be earned rather than inalienable basic needs.
Today we are making food free in our own way, by liberating sustenance to redistribute amongst the community. And we will do it again. The state apparatus may try to stop us, and in doing so, show its true colors. The government and the corporate interest it serves are not your friends. They will sooner let you starve than sacrifice their bottom line. Eat freely!

Number of the day: a 50% increase of physical attacks on the war economy
The news came to us from a specialist journal that not many read, other than those interested, and from someone who is usually more discreet, but who felt that the time was serious enough to sound the alarm.
In the April 14, 2025 issue of the monthly magazine L’Usine Nouvelle, an interview with General Philippe Susnjara, head of the French Defense Intelligence and Security Directorate (DRSD) we learn about the “radicalization of certain anti-militarist groups”, with the very interesting consequence of “potentially curbing increases in the rate of production driven by prime contractors in the midst of a war economy”. And just to give a few tips to enthusiasts of the topic, another business journalist added the next day on a state radio station that “it’s the SMEs in the sector that are most exposed. They are more numerous, less protected than the major companies, and often ill-prepared.”

IAATA / Saturday 10 May 2025
Wednesday 7 May, at around 10h30, some plain clothes cops were seen hovering around a car parked in the street.
The name connected to this vehicle is that of one of the 8 people arrested mid-April and sentenced for « introduction into a living space » (Kasbarian law) and « refusal to sign ».
A white van (3 cops inside) was parked right next to the vehicle, another 2 were walking on the pavement.
When they saw that they had been spotted,

Already energy-hungry, data centers have redoubled their appetite with the recent development of generative AI, which requires colossal computing capacities to process the information accumulated in gigantic databases. In 2024, these infrastructures will only account for around 1.5% of the world’s electricity consumption (415 terawatt-hours, TWh), but this has already increased by 12% per year over the last five years. And there’s more to come.
“Electricity demand from data centers worldwide is expected to more than double by 2030 to around 945 TWh, slightly more than Japan’s total electricity consumption today,” according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) published on Thursday, April 10. Locally, “a 100-megawatt data center can consume as much electricity as 100,000 households” annually, but tomorrow, “the largest data centers under construction today will consume twenty times as much”, equivalent to the consumption of two million households.

Munich (Germany): the beautiful fires of April
Map of the series of “unsolved” incendiary attacks in the city of Munich from 2019 to 2025, published by the local press (Sueddeutsche Zeitung, April 22, 2025)
The wave of repression (searches, summonses and arrests) against the anarchist milieu in Munich at the end of February has not succeeded in putting an end to sabotage against the city’s critical infrastructure, as demonstrated, for example, by the two incendiary attacks carried out in the course of last April.
On Tuesday night, April 9, at around 3:20 a.m., the emergency control center of Deutsche Bahn alerted the police to a cable fire in a manhole in Obermenzing, a district to the northwest of Munich. The arson attack caused extensive damage to the cable systems running alongside the tracks, with 8 of them going up in smoke: three copper cables, three fiber-optic cables and two cables used for train signalling. Rail traffic was severely disrupted throughout southern Germany, and the Nuremberg (Bavaria)-Erfurt (Thuringia) high-speed line in particular had to be closed, as the damage caused all signals in this area to turn red. Deutsche Bahn also had to cancel around 96 trains and divert 16 others.

B(A)D NEWS 90 – Angry voices from around the world
Welcome to BAD News: Angry Voices From Around The World, a monthly English-language podcast by the international A-Radio Network #90 for April 2025! This month, we feature five segments:
- First up, you’ll hear Črna Luknja from Radio Študent in Ljubljana, Slovenia, with an interview about the upcoming Balkan Anarchist Bookfair with organizers of the upcoming Balkan Anarchist Bookfair that will take place from May 15-18th, 2025 in Thessaloniki. More information, the call and the program for the bookfair can be found here: https://bab2025.espivblogs.net/
- Next, Frequenz-A shares an interview recorded on April 13, 2025 with Eylem a transwoman and an activist from Istanbul about current protest, queer and feminist perspective, anarchist participation and needs of solidarity. The links on the media which Eylem is mentioning in the talk:
- Then, Črna Luknja returns with an interview about Disgraça, an anarchist social center active in Lisbon since 2015. In March 2024, they started a process of collectively purchasing the space, as an effort to avoid paying (an always rising) rent, and secure it for the years to come. Lisbon has been devastated by real estate speculation, the housing crisis and the elitisation of culture. Various politically-engaged social centers in the city are facing evictions, seeing their contracts finishing, with no possibility to open new spaces…

- Following this, A-Radio Berlin interviews a member of the Solidarity Fund for Imprisoned and Persecuted Revolutionaries, also known as Tameio, concerning solidarity and anti-repression work in Greece.
- And finally, Parias of Athens shares an interview about the new case of political prisoner Nikos Romanos, represented by a person from the Nikos Romanos Solidarity Initiative.

Montreal,Canada :Three Murders in 24 Hours. Night Attack on Police Training College. Justice for Abisay!
On Monday night, April 14th, anarchists entered Collège de Maisonneuve, which hosts the police training program, Techniques policières. The entrance was painted with “MINI COPS = FUTURE KILLERS” and “JUSTICE FOR ABISAY CRUZ” as well as other tags like “3 STATE MURDERS IN 24H” and “MAKE FASCISTS AFRAID”. A fire extinguisher filled with paint was very helpful, and a window was smashed.
We do not forget the murders and abuses committed by the Montreal police over the last few weeks; readers, please spread the popular vengeance. To the students of the Techniques policières program: drop out and change paths, it is not a safe future, neither for us, nor for you.

Burning Cables For Beginners a.k.a. Anti-Civ Arson Booklet
Translated from German. Also available in French.
“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop!” – Mario Savio
The cornerstone of a sustainable arson campaign is reliable delayed ignition. However, for small groups without a secure procurement network (which is most of them), many older instructions for making timers are simply no longer feasible.
The rise of online stores in recent years has made it almost impossible to get transistors or ICs from local electronics stores with cash. Even if there is such a store in your area, caution is advised as the police are sometimes surprisingly good at tracing back electrical components. Internet ordering is also unfortunately not an option for our purposes. If you try to solder the required parts out of cheap devices from the dollar store, you will quickly realize that the surface mount device (SMD) components used today are usually much too small to solder by hand.
This guide therefore came out of the desire to share our experience with materials that are readily available at supermarkets or hardware stores. It can also be considered an update to the ELF guide “Setting Fires with Electrical Timers”, which is still well worth reading.
