Berlin (Germany): incendiary attack on a telecommunications antenna by Anarchists
Berlin (Germany): incendiary attack on a telecommunications antenna
On the night of October 19, we placed several incendiary devices on the exposed cable bundles at the foot of the telecommunications antenna in Herzbergstraße, Berlin-Lichtenberg. On a trailer, we tagged the reason for our appearance there: Switch-Off.
Attacking the structures that maintain this technologized nightmare world opens up possibilities for the instinct to rebel. It’s not so much analyses and theories, let alone ideologies, that drive us, but rather desires and aspirations, especially for something that even we, as anarchists, sometimes fail to say, or downplay, for fear of seeming ridiculous. It’s about freedom. Of our individual freedom and that of our fellow human beings with whom we want to live. If anything prevents us from experiencing freedom today, it’s not just material conditions, borders or alienation, but also the extensive smartification of life in favor of technologies, which unleash bloody wars for resources and claims to power, while leaving people paralyzed in front of their screens. All this serves to maintain domination and social order, from which many benefit. Yet it is in technology itself, which enslaves us and has until now been the greatest tool of the powerful, that its Achilles heel lies, and that we are attacking it in a targeted manner.

Munich : sabotage of geothermal energy construction site
On the evening of Monday October 23, a new energy infrastructure site was targeted in the Munich area. Green capitalism advocates be damned, after the triple arson attack on a geothermal power plant under construction in Polling (some 50 km east of Munich) on the night of October 2, this time it was the large pipes of another geothermal line that were attacked south of the Bavarian capital.

Yet Another Brent Scarborough Machine Destroyed (USA)
On the night of October 1st, the Brent Scarborough site across from the penitentiary was visited for a third time and an excavator was burned.
They still have overnight security but we didn’t run into them. We know people are afraid. We are afraid too, but we move through fear by taking action. Hearing a machine explode as you walk away is actually really freeing.
The upcoming mass action has set us a deadline. We have from now until November 13 to stop the “movement’s next phase” from being defined by NVDA. We honor our dead by following their struggle through to the end. Start making your way to Atlanta or take action where you are.

Disturbing the Windows of Barcelona (Spain)
Disturbing the Windows of Barcelona
“Pla Endreça” is a demonstration of power through which the government of Collboni intends to erradicate all forms of expression that escape state control. Looking at the past years, this is nothing new: The same techniques as the Colau – increasing the number and weapons of the local police and more repressive methods – only that this time they do it openly, vindicating it in the name of the citizenry.
We loathe a society of citizens who are loyal to capital and obedience, loyal to the peace constructed out of cameras and fingers pointing at those who break the authoritarian schema. We want nothing of this structure, its tyrants, nor its followers: we don’t want order. This is why we attack where it hurts, at a headquarters of false promises of a nonexistent good life.

Chignin (Savoie) France : Tesla barbecue
Fire on the parking lot of a Tesla dealership: 14 electric cars burned
Le Dauphiné/Numérama, October 6, 2023 (excerpt)
“I was awakened by the sound of an explosion,” says Michel Ravier, mayor of Chignin. The fire broke out at around 3 a.m. on October 6, 2023, in the parking lot of the Tesla Chambery Center on Route Nationale 1006 in this quiet village of around 1,000 inhabitants. The mayor immediately arrived at the Tesla dealership, shortly after the first sounds of an explosion and just before the firefighters, who quickly worked to extinguish the blaze. Le Dauphiné Libéré reports that 45 firefighters took part in the operation. In all, 14 Tesla cars were destroyed by the flames, before the fire was brought under control by the fire department.
Seyssinet-Pariset (Isère): fire at the high-voltage power line pylon (France)
Electrical pylon fire in Seyssinet-Pariset: a possible deliberate act
Le Dauphiné/France Bleu/France3,
The alarm was sounded at around 3 a.m. on Monday September 25 in the commune of Seyssinet-Pariset (Isère), on the outskirts of Grenoble, when large sparks were visible from afar, particularly from the other side of the Drac river.
The fire department then responded to a blaze on an electricity pylon supporting two high-voltage lines, on the Chemin de la Digue in Seyssinet. The fire raised a number of questions, given the difficult accessibility of the pylon. However, the fire is not thought to have affected the power supply to homes in the area.

Berlin (Germany): two excavators set on fire at a Strabag construction site
Two Strabag excavators go on climate strike – Switch Off
de.indymedia, 23 September 2023
It’s gratifying to see that attacks on the companies and infrastructures that fuel ecological catastrophe are currently multiplying. Even if they’re just a drop in the ocean, they’re an expression of the fact that not everyone is content to make demands of politicians or look on with resignation as the world goes to shit.
On the night of Monday September 18, we added two excavators belonging to the Strabag company to the list of targets attacked under the slogan “Switch Off”. Unfortunately, we were able to extinguished before they definitively disappeared, but it was enough to bring the construction site on Köpenickerstraße in Berlin’s Mitte district to a standstill.

The night of August 17, barricades were raised and molotovs were thrown at the Carabineros (COP). At least three of these molotovs were thrown at the front of the Human Rights Unit of the PDI (Investigations Police), steps from the UAHC. No one was detained and pamphlets were left declaring support for mapuche prisoners and claims for the 50 year anniversary of the coup.

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): 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. 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.
