Germany: plenty of good reasons to sabotage the rail network!

[On Sunday night, July 29, a double sabotage of cables along railroad lines in Bremen and Hamburg paralyzed some of Germany’s high-speed trains. This attack was already published about here, to which we must now add another identical sabotage in Berlin on Thursday night, August 1, at around 3 a.m., in the Charlottenburg district. According to the German railway company Deutsche Bahn, several switches and signals are out of order between Berlin’s main station and Berlin-Spandau, following the arson of several meters of cable on a bridge, causing hundreds of cancellations and delays to both regional and high-speed trains, which will last at least through the weekend.

On August 2, a communiqué was published on de.indymedia claiming responsibility for the attacks on the railway network in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin, which we translate from the German here, and which sends greetings to the unexpected delegation and saboteurs who successively lit the Olympic flame in the cable shafts of the SNCF, then in those of the internet network and cell towers…

Attacking Deutsche Bahn infrastructure – sabotaging war and colonialism

This week, incendiary attacks on the infrastructure of Deutsche Bahn took place in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin. The breakdowns caused by these attacks will hopefully create effective interruptions in the capitalist routine. Like no other company, the state-owned railway corporation is the backbone and vital arteries of the German economy, providing the fuel that feeds and drives it: every day, tons of raw materials plundered from all over the world are transported by rail via its freight branch, DB Cargo, to the workshops and factories of the major steel, chemical and automotive industries, to satisfy this society’s insatiable appetite for consumer goods and construction materials.

At the same time, we are in the midst of a vast process of transformation, from the age of fossil fuels to a highly technological, electrified world, which the Federal Government is selling to us under the misleading term “energy transition”. Deutsche Bahn logistics plays a key role in this process. For example, it is currently developing transport solutions for hydrogen and lithium batteries to stimulate the development of a “green” economy in Germany, and make the country attractive to companies wishing to locate and invest in new technologies. Tesla’s gigafactory in Berlin-Grünheide is perhaps the best-known and most controversial example to date of this deceptive folly. It goes hand in hand with the emergence and expansion of extractivist projects and new transport routes for coveted resources such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, copper or silicon – essential for supposedly sustainable technologies – from mines to processing plants and production sites. While politics and industry hope for new markets and lucrative business, this development means one thing above all for the planet: progress towards its widespread destruction. Now, with its green label and in the name of climate protection, Deutsche Bahn is at the forefront of this movement.

Number of the day: over 10 million (France)

In Fenouillet (Haute-Garonne), following the murder of Maïky by gendarmes for “refusing to obey orders”, several economic and administrative interests went up in flames on the two nights of July 25 and 26 around the Ginestous camp, where he lived. These included trucks belonging to cement manufacturer Lafarge, vehicles and a building belonging to Toulouse-Métropole, as well as a hitherto little-known company: CSI Sud-Ouest, specialized in the manufacture of microchips for the army, aeronautics and the nuclear industry.

Several SUVs in the parking lot were burnt out in the lot that’s located along Lysle Boulevard and is used for police cars and other city vehicles.

Four police vehicles in total were burnt out.

Dispatchers tell KDKA that the incident started just before 3:15 a.m. when police officers and firefighters were called to the scene.

Investigators from the ATF and the Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s Office were also on scene pictures and collecting evidence.

6 Flock Cameras Smashed In Traverse City, MI (USA)

On Anishinaabaewaki in so-called Traverse City, Michigan 6 Flock cameras got the crap smashed out of them as vengeance for Flock’s massive contribution to the security state. Quick tips for mapping them in your town: Street-facing Flock cameras always look the same – a roadside black camera body with a solar panel attached above it.

If you see one in your town there are absolutely more. They most often come in pairs with each facing different directions on the same road. They are found mainly at choke-points and main thoroughfares in cities. Shout-out to the TC3. It’s smash Flock fall, baby. See ya out there.

Perpignan, France : The screws’ 14th of July.

14/07/2024

The facts occurred in one minute, on Sunday, July 14 at 5:50 a.m.: a man broke into the secure parking lot of the prison of Perpignan, where vehicles belonging to the prison officers were parked. He broke a car window before throwing a molotov cocktail inside, then he broke the windscreen of another vehicle, puis a brisé le pare-brise d’un autre véhicule, and the rear-view mirror of a third.

The man then left as he had come. There were no injuries, but one car was completely destroyed and the other two suffered serious damage. “This was clearly a premeditated unprecedented act,” says Pierre Grousset, the Ufap-Unsa Justice union’s secretary.

Switch Off! The System Of Destruction : Rail Bridge Set on Fire, Oregon, USA

The target was a Portland and Western Railroad bridge/trestle over the Willamette River between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie, Oregon.

DE/FR/GR

We will respond to the civilization that destroys the earth and the possibility of free life with destruction in turn.

“The track is closed to railroad traffic at this time.”

“ P&W (PNWR) traffic will be rerouted for quite a while, so Cornelius Pass may see a lot more action for a long time.”

“There is some structural damage to the trestle, which is operated by P&W Railroad.”

PNWR has a diverse traffic base based on carload commodities. Woodchips, paper, agricultural goods, and aggregates are all major sources of traffic. Primary amongst the road’s over 135
customers are Stimson Lumber Company, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Georgia Pacific, and Hampton Lumber Sales. The rail also transports Oil from Exxon Mobile, Asphalt, and petroleum
products. Rail is a primary method of transportation of materials for the industry that makes war possible.

The industrial activity responsible for climate collapse has no real interest in stopping its devastation but instead insists on pretending to be environmentally friendly and using terms such as “green energy”, with new sources of extractive energy that are still harmful to ecosystems and our lives; And above all, with the clarity that each of us are the only ones who can combat the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth, adding our initiative and action to the internationalist campaign.

Berlin (Germany): “Bauer AG” drilling crane set on fire for its participation in THE LINE

 “Bauer AG” drilling crane set on fire for its participation in THE LINE

Bauer AG is a highly specialized civil engineering company which, through its involvement in gigantic infrastructure and construction projects all over the world, is complicit in the destruction of habitats and the expulsion of their inhabitants. The advance of Bauer AG’s drills and diggers into the most remote parts of the planet never bodes well, and often heralds the end of the diversity of flora and fauna in favor of a gray misery of steel and concrete.

“What we do today determines what tomorrow’s world will look like”.

This seemingly innocuous statement by the CEO of Bauer AG represents a serious threat to everything that doesn’t fit in with the Western idea of progress, or doesn’t want to submit to it. For wherever the much-vaunted conquests of civilization extend, there always arises a colonial mentality that wants to quantify every living thing in terms of its utility, and is obsessed with the will to dominate and control the wild and the unpredictable. But it doesn’t always go unanswered. Recently in Canada, the staunch opposition of the Wet’suwet’en nation to the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which once again crosses their territory, has drawn attention to Bauer AG’s involvement in this crime. But Bauer AG is not interested in any of that. It prides itself on being responsible and sustainable, reducing its environmental impact and carbon footprint through innovative solutions and digitalization.

About the coordinated sabotage against the fiber optic network in the middle of the Olympics.

While the SNCF is just beginning to recover from the sabotage against the high-speed train network, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games don’t seem to be at the end of their troubles, as a new “massive sabotage” occurred on Sunday night (July 29), this time striking the long-distance fiber optic network (the backbone).

Between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., the digital highways of the fiber-optic network were deliberately cut in at least ten départements (Ain, Aude, Ardèche, Drôme, Hérault, Bouches-du-Rhône, Oise, Marne, Meuse, Vaucluse), with far-reaching consequences, since the section of these cables in the long-distance network of infrastructure operator SFR affected many other telecoms operators. These include Free, Bouygues, Orange (telecoms provider for the Paris 2024 Olympics), TDF, OVH, SFR, Netalis, Axione, as well as Vodafone, British telecom and Colt (British operator serving 28 European countries).

By Tuesday July 30, the official estimate was that 195 cell towers had been affected by sabotage, and at least 17 departments had experienced problems ranging from internet outages to higher-than-usual latency (including Oise, Bouches-du-Rhône, Meuse, Drôme, Aude, Hérault, Seine-et-Marne, Essonne, Ain, Allier, Vendée, Ardèche, Loire, Creuse and Lot-et-Garonne). And to illustrate what high latency means, i.e. a severe slowdown in the Internet connection, a geek posted on a specialized site the route taken by his data packets: “To do Lyon (Orange network) <> Roubaix (OVH data center), the data goes: Lyon → Marseille → Singapore → Canada → London → Roubaix”…

Germany: double sabotage on the Bremen-Hamburg railway line

Was it an anonymous nod to the unexpected delegation that brought much of France’s rail traffic to a standstill a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, or was it a happy coincidence? In any case, a few days later, on the night of Sunday to Monday July 29, a double sabotage attack paralyzed part of Germany’s high-speed rail network.

The first fire occurred at around 4 a.m. in Bremen’s Bürgerpark district, igniting a shaft of cables along the track. The second fire, which occurred the same night, involved cables of a railroad near Hamburg, 150 kilometers away. Conclusion for the two major industrial and commercial cities in northern Germany? ICE high-speed trains between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg were unable to reach Bremen’s main station, while long-distance trains from the southwest to Hamburg were also diverted. The same was true of the regional rail operator metronom, whose trains experienced long delays and partial cancellations throughout the day.

About the coordinated sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the Olympic Games.

Vandières (Meurthe-et-Moselle), July 26, 2024. Fiber optic cables set on fire during coordinated sabotage of the TGV network.

On the night of Thursday July 25 to Friday July 26, just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, high-speed train (TGV) lines were attacked in all directions leading to the capital. A “massive, coordinated attack to paralyze the network”, as many newspapers headlined. On Friday alone, “250,000 customers” were affected by these acts of sabotage, and “almost 800,000 over the weekend”, according to the rail company. “Through the SNCF, it’s a part of France that’s being attacked, and it’s the French people who are being attacked”, SNCF boss Jean-Pierre Farandou immediately declared, while denouncing the saboteurs as “a bunch of kooks, irresponsible people”. For her part, Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera couldn’t contain her anger: “These are the Games for athletes who have been dreaming of them for years and who are fighting for the Holy Grail of climbing these podiums, and we’re going to sabotage that for them! Playing against the Games is playing against France, it’s playing against your side, it’s playing against your country.”

In the Nord region, the TGV network was sabotaged at Croisilles, near Arras (Pas-de-Calais), cutting off international rail traffic to London, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. In the east, the network was cut off at two separate points: between the Meuse TGV station and Lamorville (Meuse), and between Pagny-sur-Moselle and Vandières (Meurthe-et-Moselle). To the west, the line was cut at Vald’Yerre, near Courtalain (Eure-et-Loire), affecting both the direction to Brittany (Rennes, etc.) and Gironde (Bordeaux, etc.). And on the South-East line (Paris-Lyon-Marseille), an attempt at sabotage took place at Vertigny (Yonne), which apparently failed after the saboteurs were surprised “by railwaymen who were carrying out maintenance operations during the night”, leading the gendarmes to get their hands on “incendiary devices” which had not been ignited and were immediately sent to the lab.

Map of sabotage on high-speed lines on the night of July 25-26, 2024 (Le Monde)

Furthermore, in the Paris suburbs, also concerning the network to the west, an overhead power line was ripped down between Montparnasse station and Vanves-Malakoff (Hauts-de-Seine) by a TGV train that tried to use a more conventional line that wasn’t designed for it (Transilien’s N), further aggravating the consequence of the sabotage… which, for the SNCF, means an incident “linked to the malicious acts committed on the Atlantic high-speed line”. As for the background, its CEO deplored “the obvious desire to cut Paris off from its main high-speed lines just before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games”, in a press conference held on Saturday July 27.

All in all, this pre-Olympic summer night was officially marked by five targeted sites across France, with four successful sabotages and one thwarted, between 1am and 5.30am. Each time, fiber optic cables were severed or set on fire, in small channels running along the tracks, and located not far from signal boxes coordinating important nodes of rail traffic, where the tracks split in several directions. “With [such] a fire, we’re actually losing two branches of the network each time”, explained SNCF Réseau boss Matthieu Chabanel (Le Figaro, 26/7). Indeed, these now burnt-out cables control the switch motors, but are also used to transmit information to the signaling stations. As soon as the signaling or switch control cables were damaged, cut or burned, the systems immediately went into red light mode,” explains Vincent Téton, Deputy Director General of Operations and Production at SNCF Réseau, who is also in charge of crisis management coordination. “Trains running on the affected tracks then stopped automatically”. (Le Parisien, 27/7).

Saint-Orens-de-Gameville (Haute-Garonne) France : against the Olympics, fire at the cell tower and fiber optics

Against the Olympics, fire at the cell tower and fiber optics ES/ EL /IT    Game-Over in Gameville
IAATA, July 26, 2024

On the night of July 25 to 26, in Saint Orens de Gameville, we set fire to a cell tower and a fiber optic interconnect node, and tagged “No J.O.” on the tower housing the cables.

There is no Olympic truce. The government’s rhetorical bombardment of appeasement through sport, at both geopolitical and parliamentary levels, is accompanied by military bombardment around the world and a war against populations.

What kind of truce, what kind of appeasement are we talking about? The displacement of the most marginalized populations, the increased police presence in the capital, the development of panoptic surveillance in all directions, based on the installation of new video surveillance cameras and the repressive use of artificial intelligence?

France: Claim of sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Claim of sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

They call it a celebration? We see it as a celebration of nationalism, a gigantic staging of the subjugation of populations by states.

Underneath their friendly, playful guise, the Olympic Games provide a testing ground for police crowd management and the generalized control of our movements.

Like all major sporting events, they are also an opportunity to worship the values that underpin the world of power and money, generalized competition, performance at all costs, sacrifice for the sake of national interest and glory.

The call to identify with an imaginary community and to support the side to which one supposedly belongs is no less harmful than the permanent incitement to see one’s salvation in the health of one’s national economy and the strength of one’s national army.

A precedent before the act of « sabotage » on the installations of the SNCF on Friday July 26. An incendiary device summarily constituted of bottles filled with petrol, equipped with a fuse to light the whole thing, was found on the LGV line between Aix and Marseille on the 8th of May on the arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseille.
