Arson suspected in fire at L.A. City Hall, officials say – Los Angeles CA

July 07, 2023

The Los Angeles Fire Department’s arson team is investigating a fire that occurred Saturday night on the second floor of City Hall, authorities said.

Police believe that someone may have started the fire by throwing an unknown object through a window in the building.

“Initially it appears a suspect outside of City Hall threw an object … into the office, breaking the window and causing the fire,” said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Officer Warren Moore. There was damage inside one of the offices, he said.

The fire alarm on the second floor was activated at 8 p.m. Saturday, Moore said.

Switch off! – the system of destruction

Switch off!  – the system of destruction

About 20 people storm a construction site of the Coastal Gas Link pipeline in western Canada. They are armed with axes and flares, threaten employees, hijack heavy construction vehicles, destroy the site’s building and ultimately the vehicles themselves. The damage amounted to millions. That was almost a year ago. It is still unclear who sabotaged the construction of the pipeline in the province of British Columbia. Fracked gas was soon to flow through the pipeline, which runs right through indigenous land, to the West Coast, from where it would be shipped on to Asia.

A call…

Whether you occupy universities, schools, trees or streets. Whether you spend your nights worrying or sabotaging. Whether you strike or write about it.

The certainty that the current system will result in the collapse of the massively damaged ecosystem has already inspired countless people to resist. Tens of thousands are taking to the streets against the “business as usual” of the capitalist machinery, people are resisting the destructive large-scale projects en masse, the infrastructure of the system is being blocked and courageous fighters are setting fire to the machines that are being used to rob them of the very basis of life. What we need in the struggle against the destruction of nature and the resulting social misery is the shared pursuit of real revolutionary rupture and freedom of all. Pursuing an initiative that rejects all compromises and cosmetic corrections of the state and brings about a transformation of our social relations. Because the destruction of the planet by the neoliberal economic system is inextricably linked to patriarchal patterns of thought, racism and colonialism. The initiative for this must necessarily come from below. From the struggles of the excluded. From the struggles of those who enact a self-organized solidarity against the state’s promises of salvation. From the struggles of those who see that there can be no compromises in the fight against the systemic destruction of the biosphere.

Munich (Germany): one relay antenna less

Munich , one relay antenna less

Around 2:20 a.m. on Saturday night, July 16, a relay antenna was set on fire in Forstenrieder Park, near the town of Pullach (a southern suburb of Munich). It was at this time that the cell phone operator lost all signal, before sending a team to the site the following day at around 1pm (a Sunday), who could only observe that its installation had been burnt down during the night before the fire extinguished itself, without however completely destroying the tower.

The authorities, for their part, obviously do not presume a technical fault – the familiar police theory of the self-combustion of relay antennas is now a bit forced – but rather a “crime affecting State Security”, leading them to entrust the investigation to the K43 police station (“far-left political criminality”).

Berlin (Germany): the cars of screws under fire

Berlin:the cars of screws under fire

Around 2:30 a.m. on Friday night, July 1, several cars once again went up in smoke in front of Moabit prison. This time, two cars and a van went up in flames on Alt-Moabit Street, but Berlin police deplore the fact that “at irregular intervals, cars parked opposite Moabit prison catch fire, including several belonging to prison employees”.

Rhine coalfield (Germany): coordinated sabotage of three coal mines

Hot sabotage of cable ducts: cutting off the juice to RWE!

From de.indymedia, July 13, 2023

On the night of July 5 to 6, we carried out simultaneous acts of sabotage using incendiary devices on three cable ducts in the Rhine lignite mining area. The attacked cables supply, among other things, the coal silos in the Hambach and Garzweiler open-cast mines, as well as the coal silo in the Fortuna mine. The aim of the action was to interrupt the coal supply to the Neurath and Niederaußem power stations and possibly force them to shut down. Unfortunately, according to press reports, we didn’t use enough accelerant to cause serious damage. We’ll have more next time! Nevertheless, this action shows that fossil fuel companies like RWE are vulnerable. And who knows, maybe we indirectly contributed to the Hambach mine transformer fire on July 11, which paralyzed the entire mine.

In particular, coal silos are an important infrastructure for supplying power plants. Most of the power cables between substations and coal silos are open-air and easily accessible. Attached below are maps where the routes of the cables that supply these coal silos are shown in red.

USA: 20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged – Appalachia

20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged – Appalachia

An invitation and reportback from a productive fourth of july party

On the fourth of july, 20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged, using a variety of means to render them inoperable. Machines are often left unguarded, and when they’re not, the security are just prats. It was easy and fun. We gave a big cheer when these machines were seen being hauled off the mountains back to the industrial hellscapes they come from.

Munich (Germany): burning data cables under the bridge

Munich : burning data cables under the bridge

In Munich on Friday night, July 8, at around 4 a.m., two excavators were set alight on a construction site next to the Herzog-Heinrich bridge, which crosses both the Isar river and the canal. And it’s fair to say that the construction machines, whose engines caught fire, were admirably positioned, as data cables for telecom companies run under this bridge, which in turn caught fire, along with the bridge’s substructure. An expert must now examine the structure to decide if and when it can be reopened to traffic.

According to the police, the damage and location point to arson. Not least because the Herzog Heinrich Bridge is only a few meters south of the Leinthaler Bridge, which was the scene of an arson attack in December 2019. This attack destroyed two large Vodafone fiber-optic cables located along the two bridges, which supplied power to major companies such as BMW, as well as the Munich municipal services’ northern thermal power station. It was an act of solidarity that raised the proposal: “Let’s cut off the juice to the climate killers”.

Brussels (Belgium): Copshops go up in flames too!

Brussels: Copshops go up in flames too!

Saint-Gilles police station burnt down last night!
Sud Infos, July 7, 2023 (excerpt)

According to witnesses, it was around 3 a.m. on Thursday night when a hooded individual threw a Molotov cocktail at the front door of the Parvis de Saint-Gilles police station, which consequently burned.

The fire also caused some damage to the station’s reception area, but this was limited given that the premises were armored from that point on. Investigations are underway to identify the arsonist.

Munich (Germany): the TV truck didn’t make it through the night

Munich : the TV truck didn’t make it through the night

At around 3:40 a.m. on Sunday night, June 26, a satellite transmission truck belonging to the ZDF television network was set on fire in Munich’s Glockenbach district. The precious technological cargo of the special truck is certainly unusable, and the damage is enormous: several hundred thousand euros.

The burnt-out TV truck was part of a mobile production center, which had broadcast live from St. Maximilian’s Church on Sunday morning the mass of nationally renowned pastor Rainer Maria Schiessler. After the broadcast, the satellite broadcast vehicle was due to remain in front of St. Maximilian’s church until Monday… except that it didn’t make it through the night.
