Cops and robbers? A history of investigative techniques 2025

Imprisoned for publishing an anarchist newspaper

In what follows, we’re going to tell you about the miserable endeavor that kept the Munich State Protection busy for two years: how the hell they managed to steal the blood of anarchist N. for a DNA sample. The Bavarian cops spared no expense or effort to carry out this operation, and some of the methods they employed may well be of interest to you. At the end of the text, you’ll also find a list of other investigative measures used by the Munich police during this investigation.

Recently, on February 26, 2025, anarchist comrades N. and M. were arrested. The initial arrest warrant was issued with the charge of criminal conspiracy, for publishing (together with another person) the anarchist periodical Zündlumpen.

More details on these charges can be found here.

What is policing?

One could say that the police are nothing more than a permanent military occupying force on a particular territory, attempting to project its power across space (and time) by means of technological tools. Our dear detectives Obermaiers, Findeisens, Unglaubs, and Rinds understood this perfectly, participating in a reading group called “EG Schrift” [“Special Writing Investigation Group”], which was certainly informative for them. But nobody understands this better, to the point of having managed to fool entire squads of cops for years, than the famous Bavarian “folk heroes”. All of them thieves and poachers, like the Bavarian Hiasl or the brigand Kneißl, and not forgetting all the peasant deserters during the first revolutionary uprisings against the (Bavarian) authorities. However, it’s not just these famous figures from a long-forgotten era, but also countless present-day individuals who still manage to escape the clutches of the henchmen of the (renewed) Bavarian dynasty, exposing them more or less mercilessly to public ridicule.

Joint Munitions Command production, storage, and distribution facilities across the USA

2025/03/06

The following dossier contains descriptions of all Joint Munitions Command production, storage, and distribution facilities from the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant to the east coast. It does not include dedicated JMC demilitarization facilities.

Each document is a guide to the facility location, its purpose, its function and known links within military and civilian arms manufacture, and its connection to this wider network via military-designated strategic rail (STRACNET). These facilities are not wholly dependent on rail for shipping, but the nature of the military equipment they produce guarantees that much of it must move by rail between manufacturing locations and to east coast ports for transport to Israel or supporting US installations and vessels in the region.

These facilities covered here are, from west to east:

DONT USE MOLOTOVS: Some notes on safely burning teslas (or other cars)

 2025/03/22

Seeing the wave of tesla arsons has made us incredibly happy. But we are worried to see that many of these attacks have used molotov’s

-Molotov’s aren’t guaranteed to ignite/explode. There have been many cases where police have recovered intact molotov cocktails from attacks. that is a shitton of forensic evidence that detectives WILL exploit.

“From the day when battery-run voices began broadcasting old speeches to battery-run listeners, the beast has been talking to itself. Having swallowed everyone and everything outside itself, the beast becomes its own sole frame of reference. It entertains itself, exploits itself and wars on itself. It has reached the end of its Progress, for there is nothing left for it to progress against except itself.

Leviathan is turning into Narcissus, admiring its own synthetic image in its own synthetic pond, enraptured by its spectacle of itself.

It is a good time for people to let go of its sanity, its masks and armors, and go mad, for they are already being ejected from its pretty polis.”

– Fredy Perlman, Against His-story, Against Leviathan

Anarchists fight against poverty and enslavement, in spiritual as well as material form. Our struggle – which takes freedom and self-responsibility as both means and ends – has been expressed as an ecstatic “Yea to life”, as an unleashing of the “creative nothing” of individual uniqueness, and as “the conquest of life and the realization of our dreams.” Therefore anarchists have always been heretics and blasphemers, deserters of all orthodoxies, enemies of clerics, and sometimes burners of shrines and temples.

 But anyone who loves freedom and dignity can find no complicity among atheists who replace religion with the worship of scientific and technological progress – which has colonised and devastated the whole planet to feed its ghostly meat-grinder, the economy.

 The author of a new book, “Warlike, Howling, Pure” (Contagion Press, 2024), will present some stories of rebels who have fought against domination, with looted weapons or bare hands, armed also with spiritual convictions that animated their fight against colonisation and domestication.

Welcome spring, burn a Tesla!

2025/03/12

In these dark times, the horizon seems to be blocked by techno-industrial slavery, war and the rise of fascism with patriarchy at its side.

Where despair reigns, an offensive proposal is valuable. A proposal to attack a target that is at the crossroads of our already-existing struggles. An attempt to give new impetus to our struggles.

One such proposal is to attack Tesla. By this we mean the company’s electric cars, which are swarming the streets just waiting for you to attack them.

We invite you to prepare and strike as soon as possible to properly welcome spring! Even if other targets are more strategic, the choice of Tesla is no coincidence.

The memory of anarchist Lambros Foundas, member of Revolutionary Struggle murdered in an armed conflict with the cops, on 10th of March 2010 in Dafni area in Athens , will always accompany us in the struggle.

In life thunder

Charged with genuine anguish for the choices, the future, the comrades, the struggle.
With sharp thoughts, forged in your own personal effort and the movement.
With decisive acts, firm, flaming.
You showed with your life that the way of the revolutionary is to say little, to act with rage and devotion. With rage and conscience.
In your memory fists tighten…
Tears become weapons…
The choice becomes more imperative.

And in death a wolf

One breath was enough for you, one decision and iron will.
With the weapon in your hand and freedom in your eyes you chased your dreams to the end.
As you lived, that is how you left. Wild and free.

When revolutionaries die
they are not lost

They ride a star and draw courses of freedom in the indefinite.
They draw with their blood what each one of us dreams but is afraid to dare.

They are fireflies in the darkness of inertia.
They are the fire, the struggle, the street.
Lets all take the fire from their fire…
lets not forget – lets act.

Honour to anarchist
Lambros Foundas

The struggle continues.

kicking off its inherent war machine to slaughter thousands upon
thousands of proletarians. They are being relentlessly bombed and

Contre la guerre, contre la paix, pour la révolution sociale – Luigi Galleani

Avant la Première Guerre Mondiale, les organisations ouvrières en Europe avaient beaucoup œuvré pour organiser les ouvriers et les enrégimenter dans leurs structures, tout en se donnant des airs subversifs à grand renfort de propagande.

Elles couraient derrière le nombre d’adhérents, plus intéressées à les habituer à suivre les ordres d’en haut, qu’à tenter d’en fortifier les consciences et les volontés. Que des millions d’adhérents se croyant émancipés – eux qui auraient peut-être pu empêcher la guerre s’ils l’avaient osé –, aient fini par aller au front après que leurs chefs aient brutalement retourné leurs vestes, voilà la « démonstration la plus putride des organisations prétendument subversives ».

Cinq femmes révolutionnaires contre le tsar

Vera Zassoulitch, Praskovia Ivanovskaïa, Olga Lioubatovitch, Elisabeth Kovalskaïa et Vera Figner sont cinq conspiratrices fougueuses du mouvement révolutionnaire russe des années 1870-1880. Dix ans après l’abolition du servage, la première vague de lutte contre l’absolutisme tsariste prend principalement la forme d’une marche de la jeunesse vers le peuple paysan et ouvrier. Face à la répression, le mouvement se transforme : à la propagande et l’agitation s’ajoutent l’organisation secrète, la fomentation de révoltes paysannes, le combat armé et les attentats. Le 1er mars 1881, le tsar Alexandre II lui-même est tué lors d’un attentat à Pétersbourg.

international call for the revolutionary union of anarchists by Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis. (Greece)

International call for the revolutionary union of anarchists

First part, introductory: 12th of February 2012

On 12 February 2012 the last big battle of the anti-austerity movement (in the Greek territory) took place. Other open battles followed in the following years, but after that day, when the movement realized that it had reached the limits of its power, it did not revive. The objective of this longstanding insurrectionary movement, which was to cancel the parliament during the passing of the controversial laws or even to occupy it, was lost for good during the popular attempt on 12/2/2012. It was the biggest militant gathering since 1973. Half a million people, once again, but for what would be the last time, surrounded the central institution of the regime and after being repelled by chemical bombardment, we made persistent efforts to reach the target again. The state’s military machine, without resorting to the use of standard weapons of warfare, overpowered a huge yet unarmed mass of people.

The turning point of the anti-austerity movement became a critical juncture for various poles of the anti-authoritarian movement that led them to prioritize the question of the revolutionary program and the question of organization. We all recognized the impasse of one-dimensional insurrectionism, that is, of the deferral of all questions to the dynamics of the insurgent mass and to the moment of insurrection. However, the road to overcoming all the culminated weaknesses remained blurred. The program and the political organization became the new points of deferral for all critical issues, while denouncing insurrectionary practice.

I will not be intimidated.

lukasborl

In the past, I have published an extensive analysis of how specific individuals and groups try to isolate me, attack my private life, they’re threatening my safety and sabotage the Anti-militarist activities I engage in. One of the examples given was a description of how a member of the Trhlina infoshop and the Anarchistická federace (Anarchist federation) told a friend of mine that I was at risk of a strong reaction from militant anti-fascists. In other words, the person from Trhlina and the Anarchistická federace was threatening me. At that time it was not yet clear whether the threat would come true. Now it is clear. On Saturday, February 8, 2025, I was physically attacked by one such militant anti-fascist in Prague’s Club 007.

What happened?

The attacker waited until most of my friends had left the club, followed me into the toilets, where he punched me several times in the face. No, I’m not surprised he chose such an insidious method. I’ve seen so much scheming from his cronies that I expect nothing but meanness, unscrupulousness and hypocrisy from them now.
