Claim of Responsibility for Asheville Arson (United States)

Claim of Responsibility for Asheville Arson

there were a lot of so-called anarchists at the acab bookfair but we’re not sure what you nerds do besides read books. we dont know how to read so instead we burned those cop cars. even though they were parked right behind the police/fire station nobody noticed until it was too late and the cars were “completely destroyed.”

we were just gonna leave it unclaimed because it seemed funnier that way, but we were just thinking about how cool march 5th was and we remembered theres a whole movement about it! there were 200 of us there that day, what are the rest of you up to? theres freakin pigs everywhere and their cars are extremely flammable. burning a cop car might be the easiest thing you’ve done in your life, it was for us.

Munich (Germany): new construction machines burn to the ground

Munich : new construction machines burn to the ground

But who said summer wasn’t conducive to incendiary attacks on structures of domination? Not the police in Bavaria’s capital city, at any rate, where these have not ceased. On July 8, a construction machine set fire under the Föhringer Ring in the north of Munich, destroying the telecoms cables running along the bridge. On July 16, a cell phone antenna caught fire in Forstenrieder Park, south of Munich. Then on July 26, five construction machines at the Martinsried subway station were hit by flames in Planneg, this time in the west of the city. And on July 27, at around 10.30pm, a forestry machine used for felling large trees was engulfed in flames in the Perlach forest, south of the city, again causing over 100,000 euros worth of damage.

All this anonymous destruction is enough to make uniforms dizzy, as they no longer know which Saint to turn to or which direction to dig, so much so that helicopters have even taken to circling the skies over Munich at night, in search of saboteurs. All to no avail.

London (UK): 288 surveillance cameras sabotaged in four months

London. Mass sabotage of surveillance cameras

Le Matin (Switzerland), August 18, 2023

London police reported on Friday that hundreds of cameras had been sabotaged in the run-up to the controversial extension of the tax on the most polluting vehicles, scheduled for the end of the month in the British capital. Restricted to central London when it was introduced in 2019, the ULEZ (ultra low emission zone) had already been considerably expanded in 2021 and is due to be extended to the whole of Greater London on August 29.

The extension of the tax, in the midst of the UK’s cost-of-living crisis, has been strongly criticized by local residents, and some opponents are attacking the cameras placed on the roads – which are supposed to read license plates to check that the vehicle is exempt or that the tax has been paid.

Montargis (Loiret) France : riot and sabotage go hand in hand

Montargis (Loiret): riot and sabotage go hand in hand

Infrastructure destroyed during the riots, then acts of sabotage on [fiber] cabinets
La République du Centre, July 26, 2023 (excerpt)

Hundreds of residents in the Sirène and Chaussée neighborhoods have been without Internet and telephone service for weeks now, due to rioting and sabotage of fiber network cabinets.

It’s a recurring message on social networks over the last few days, on groups dealing with daily life in Montargis: many residents of the Sirène and Chaussée districts have pointed out that they no longer have an Internet network, and are wondering about the potential end of the outage, which is linked for many to the violent riots that took place on the nights of June 29 and 30.

Aude, Southern France: no vacation for the network of the police

Aude : no vacation for the network of the police

Aude: emergency numbers unreachable this August 15 due to an act of vandalism
L’Indépendant, August 15, 2023 (excerpt)

Vandals don’t take vacations. On the night of Monday August 14 to Tuesday August 15, as yet unidentified individuals severed the fiber network in a commune of Haute Vallée, along a railroad line. An act with serious consequences, since emergency numbers (15, 18 and 17) have been unreachable in the area ever since, regardless of the mobile operator.

“Even on a public holiday, our teams remain mobilized to restore access to these emergency numbers as quickly as possible. The area concerned is difficult to access: the teams have to walk for an hour and a half along the railroad line, and in the heat, before reaching the location”, explains Pierre Savanio, Director of Relations with Local Authorities for Orange. As a result, two teams are working simultaneously on site to weld and replace the cables over a distance of more than a kilometer as quickly as possible.

Fleurus : cop and military collaborator loses 10 vehicles

[As a reminder, the logistics group UPS (United Parcel Service) is the holder of the North American Department of Defense’s contract to transport packages around the world, and has been for decades (along with FedEx & Polar Air Cargo), making it, for example, the preferred logistician for military personnel at American NATO bases in Europe. It’s also one of the major companies currently donating to the Cop City project in Atlanta; and it’s also a zealous recruiter of US veterans and army reservists, whose “skills” and “values” UPS proudly claims to share in its promotional campaigns].

Fleurus: ten vans set on fire on a company site

Vert-le-Petit (Essonne): sabotage of the electrical network at a nuclear and weapons hot spot (Northern France)

“The cables are under the pylons”.

Indymedia Lille, July 25, 2023

Some thirty kilometers south of Paris, in the Essonne region of France, in the commune of Vert-le Petit, lies the Centre d’étude du Bouchet, one of the world’s leading nuclear and armaments sites.

It was here in 1820 that the Poudrerie Nationale du Bouchet was created, and during the First World slaughter, 5,000 workers produced huge quantities of gunpowder and ammunition for the front line.

From 1920 to 1940, although it did not stop manufacturing conventional munitions altogether, the plant focused much of its activity on new technologies linked to the possibility of a conflict involving chemical, biological and bacteriological processes.

Ingolstadt (Germany): two army trucks aflame

Ingolstadt : two army trucks aflame

In the town of Ingolstadt, on the banks of the Danube halfway between Nuremberg and Munich (Bavaria), the German army has no problem outsourcing some of the services it needs. Like, for example, the maintenance of its expensive vehicles. In the middle of summer, two Iveco military trucks were parked at a car dealership on Münchener Strasse, waiting to resume their dirty work.

Except, as it happens, there was a problem, and not an accidental one. According to an official police report, “criminals attempted to set fire to the vehicles between July 20 and August 3”. And the local press added: “The criminal police found evidence that the trucks had been intentionally set on fire”, one of the consequences of which was to involve the military police (Feldjäger) in the investigation.
