Castelldefels (Spain) – More street vendors, fewer cops

Castelldefels: More street vendors, fewer cops

More street vendors, fewer cops: attack on the Castelldefels Vigilance Service

On the night of August 20, the premises of the Vigilance Service in the Playafels district were attacked with spray paint and a hammer. This local has been built recently, for the purpose of helping the municipal police of Castelldefels [Note of Attaque: commune south of Barcelona] to do their favorite work, which consists of cracking down on street vendors in the area.

The Parti populaire in Castelldefels is following the same path as Collboni [Note of Attaque: the new socialist mayor of the regional capital] in Barcelona, with the Pla Endreça: increasing the number of cops, monitoring and limiting individual freedoms, to transform the city into a system of control where repression intensifies as it becomes more difficult to slip through the net.

Caen (Calvados)France : Sabotage of an electric charging station

Caen (Calvados): Sabotage of an electric charging station

[Received by email, August 7, 2023]

What is the ecological transition?

It’s a change in the energy production model that doesn’t break with capitalist growth, the plundering of resources, neo-colonial exploitation and the destruction of the living.

It’s a continuation of the general increase in production, particularly electricity production. Consequently, ecological transition is synonymous with the revival of nuclear power, giant wind power projects, mega solar panel farms and the continued production of fossil fuels. It also means the reinforcement of extractivism and opening new mines, such as lithium mines to produce millions of electric batteries. It also means ever more infrastructure, extra-high-voltage lines, transformers, undersea cables… ever more pollution, waste and death.

Pont-Évêque (Isère): sabotage of the high-voltage pylon at the industrial paper mill (France)

Pont-Évêque (Isère): sabotage of the high-voltage pylon at the industrial paper mill

Pont-Évêque. A transformer set on fire: criminal origin beyond a doubt
Le Dauphiné, September 12, 2023

There is no doubt that the fire which destroyed a 63,000 volt electrical transformer in Pont-Évêque on the night of Monday September 11 to Tuesday September 12 was of criminal origin.

The fire was reported at 3 a.m.: bushes along Avenue Denis-Crapon were on fire. By the time the first fire fighters had arrived, the flames had spread to an electrical transformer at the foot of a pylon supplying the Finnish paper mill Ahlstrom-Munksjö, located at in the commune on the banks of the Gère. Although the fire was quickly brought under control, Enedis staff were also called in to assess the damage.

Dartford- Kent, UK : Traffic lights chopped in half by furious anti-ULEZ protesters.

A set of traffic lights has been found cut in two as a protest at the ULEZ area in London. The Ultra-Low Emission Zone ‘ULEZ’ was expanded from August 29 – meaning thousands more drivers face paying a daily £12.50 charge to drive in all London boroughs.

It follows a significant surge in acts of vandalism and sabotage against Ulez cameras in recent weeks,carried out by individuals who refer to themselves as “blade runners”.

The lights at a crossing on Crayford Way are seen spliced in half with electrical wires exposed. A red sticker on the post reads “ULEZ spy camera” with an arrow pointing upwards.

Tesla in flames -Switch Off – the system of destruction! (Frankfurt, Germany)

Tesla in flames

The International Motor Show (IAA) was held in Munich last week. At this summer show, all manner of multinationals were once again able to show off their gleaming, beautiful cars and congratulate themselves on their economic success in their air-conditioned conference rooms, limousines and exhibition halls.

At the same time, this summer has once again been full of fires. In Rhodes. In Portugal. In Maui (island of Hawaii). At the same time, many people’s homes were flooded. In Slovenia and Austria.
Many people’s lives were shattered. These deadly catastrophes have many causes, and the IAA is just one of them. We say Switch off the system of destruction!

So we torched a few new Tesla cars this evening in Frankfurt. In salute to the Munich protests. One of many attacks on the destructive automotive industry.

A CALL TO WAR AGAINST THE PIPELINE (so-called virginia, United States)

A CALL TO WAR AGAINST THE PIPELINE

a fortnight ago, by the light of the full moon, a small group of friends set fire to a large excavator and a second small machine that were being used to build the mountain valley pipeline near teels creek.

we came prepared to burn up to six machines but unfortunately found only two at the site we chose. mvp has dozens or possibly hundreds of unattended machines on their construction sites on any given night; they are working at a breakneck pace in an attempt to complete the pipeline by the end of the year. a map of the pipeline showing incomplete water crossings can be found at tinyurl.com/mvprfuckers.

Hamburg (Germany): sabotaging the freight traffic of one of Europe’s largest ports

Hamburg : sabotaging the freight traffic of one of Europe’s largest ports.

[On the night of Thursday September 7 to Friday September 8, a triple sabotage attack was carried out on the rail freight traffic of one of Europe’s largest ports (Hamburg ranks just behind Rotterdam and Antwerp in terms of tonnage). At around 2.40 a.m., a cable fire was reported on the rail bypass north of the city, at Deelwisch Street. Then at around 3 a.m., a second fire was reported to the southeast on a railroad line in the Walter-Rudolphi-Weg area of Allermöhe, and finally a third at around 3.40 a.m. directly on the Hamburger Hafenbahn line at Heykenaukamp. In each case, signalling and communication cables located in shafts along the tracks were destroyed by the arson attacks.

As well as impacting container train traffic to and from the Port, the sabotage also affected long-distance passenger trains, particularly between Germany’s two largest cities (Hamburg and Berlin), where on Friday 11 trains were completely cancelled, 17 were partially cancelled and 21 were significantly delayed. Passenger rail traffic will not return to normal until Sunday, and needless to say, this sabotage has caused an outcry across the Rhine from the authorities, with Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing, for example, castigating “climate extremists” (Klimaextremisten) who “have lowered their inhibition threshold yet again” with “such attacks, which constitute a form of terrorism”.
Below is a translation from the German of the communique issued on the same day (September 8) on de.indymedia].

A Recipe for Leaving No Trace

We were thrilled to read about the rail sabotage during the last week of action, and the proposal for it’s proliferation. We also appreciated that operational details were made explicit, though we have some concerns we want to bring up about how what is described may leave traces.

When starting a fire, the goal should be that everything that you must touch will burn, if possible. Here is a simple recipe that can enable that:

  • a plastic (PET) bottle that is square – this allows the bottle to be placed on it’s side without rolling. Bottle size can be determined by the size of the signal box.
  • gasoline in the bottle, with enough air space left for fumes, so as to avoid leakage. Motor oil can be added to help prolong the burn, which is helpful for the cabling within a signal box.
  • an individually packaged fire cube as the igniter

The accelerant bottle is placed on its side. The fire cube is then placed on top of the bottle. The fire cube is then lit with a storm lighter, being careful to not pierce the bottle by mistake. Once alight, the fire cube will pierce the plastic bottle and gravity will drop it into the accelerant. Mischief managed.
