Newfoundland (Canada): sledgehammering the weather station for the future wind farm

World Energy GH2 equipment vandalized in Mainland

Radio Canada, March 14, 2024 (excerpt)

Someone recently damaged World Energy GH2 facilities in southwestern Newfoundland. The damage amounts to more than $5,000, and took place on February 21 or 22 in Mainland, at a location where World Energy GH2 collects weather data, says the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), which is investigating the incident. The vandals targeted solar panels, the windows of a small building and equipment.

In a similar incident in January 2023, someone had already damaged the company’s heavy equipment. World Energy GH2 intends to build around 150 200-metre-high wind turbines on the Port-au-Port peninsula, west of Stephenville. The consortium is also studying the possibility of building a wind farm of roughly the same size in the Codroy Valley to the south.

France: Let’s put out the flame of the JOP ! [Olympic games]!

Let’s put out the flame of the JOP

Call to the mischievous, the jokers and other heretics of the Sport Business

The harm caused by the Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP) no longer needs to be demonstrated as it is now well known: security delirium, anti-terrorist law, mismanagement and financial malpractices, shameless increase in metro tickets, eviction of homeless people,  students expelled from their lodgings, etc, etc.
The list is too long, and now, obvious.(1)
The promotion of the JOP also passes through the journey of the olympic Flame whose route through France is due to start in Marseilles on May 8th (entire course on

Chignin (Savoie): attack against Tesla (south-eastern France)

[On October 6, 2023 in Chignin (Savoie), the Tesla Center in Chambéry received an unexpected visitor. There, in its parking lot, 14 of the brand’s electric cars were destroyed by flames, before the firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control. This attack, which was covered here earlier, has now been claimed by “a band of musk elks” five months later, in a communique which we are happy to reproduce below.Note that previously, in September 2023 in Frankfurt (Germany), another attack had reduced some fifteen Tesla cars to ashes, and ditto in Malmö (Sweden) in October 2020 against seven of them].

On the outskirts of Chambery, on the night of October 6, 2023.

This world is full of cars and machines of all kinds. Some are used to move the techno-bourgeois, like the Tesla cars produced by one of the richest people in the world. There are machines for modern warfare, where humans hidden in an office use intelligent drones to massacre other humans hidden in a trench. And for the techno-bourgeois to get around peacefully, tapping away all day on their smartphones, the others have to massacre each other, because technology doesn’t just fall from the sky: wars are fought for it, and with it. Behind their ideological or ethnic character, the decisive stakes in the coming conflicts are also access to and control of energy resources and infrastructures.

Berlin (Germany) : A cement giant loses its concrete trucks

[On the night of March 14/15 in Berlin, at around 3:50 a.m., six concrete trucks were completely destroyed and three other machines (excavators) damaged by flames on the A100 freeway construction site in Kiefholzstrasse. The concrete mixers belonged to the German HeidelbergMaterials group, the world’s second-largest cement producer. On December 27, 2023, the site of another concrete giant, CEMEX, was attacked in Berlin, setting fire to five concrete mixer trucks, the bulk material conveyor belt and a technical building near the silos. And on January 19, 2024, two excavators on the same Berlin A100 freeway site had already been consumed by the flames of anger.

Here is a translation of the communique about the March 15 attack on HeidelbergMaterials, published on indymedia germany on the same day].

Arson attack on HeidelbergMaterials // Attacking colonial legacies // Stopping the A100

Armed with incendiary devices and rage, last night we temporarily rendered harmless a HeidelbergMaterials AG cement plant on the A100 construction site. To do so, we set fire to several concrete mixers and excavators on the plant site. With over 800 subsidiaries, HeidelbergMaterials is the world’s second-largest cement producer – and the second-most climate-damaging company in Germany, behind RWE. But others have provided a detailed description, in a communique for the attack on CEMEX at the end of December 2023, just how environmentally damaging cement production is.

( Georgia,USA) EIGHT BRENT SCARBROUGH MACHINES DESTROYED BY FIRE IN HENRY COUNTY

On the early morning of March 14th, we torched eight pieces of heavy construction machinery belonging to the Brent Scarbrough company (the contractor that is presently clearcutting the Weelaunee forest) at a site on Jonesboro Road in Henry County, Georgia.

We hope everyone on their morning commute enjoyed the show. Despite the blaze being visible from a major road, what appears to be one of the most quantitatively effective attacks on the company’s equipment so far remains unreported in the media at the time of submission.

Berlin,Germany : news from Tesla and a second communique from the Volcano Group

Berlin: news from Tesla and a second communique from the Volcano Group

A week after a high-voltage power line tower in Berlin caught fire at dawn on March 5, deliberately bringing Tesla’s European electric vehicle production plant to a standstill, the plant was only reconnected to the power grid on March 11. And two days later, on Wednesday March 13, it was finally able to start up again in the presence of its CEO Elon Musk, who came to Berlin-Grünheide to be cheered by his brave workers, before meeting local politicians. However, “it will still be some time before production resumes in full, but the most important step has been taken”, according to plant manager Andre Thierig. Knowing that each day spent without electricity or production cost between 50 and 60 million euros, we leave it to you to calculate Tesla’s losses for these eight days of shutdown.

While the 5,000 inhabitants of the Freienbrink district were reconnected the very same day, it was a completely different matter for grid operator E.DIS to be able to reconnect the Tesla factory, given the huge amount of energy required by the 12,500-strong gigafactory. A vast emergency worksite was therefore immediately deployed in the field where the burnt-out pylon was located. Firstly, to build a temporary access road from the adjacent forest in order to transport heavy machinery, then to dig out from under the muddy earth some of the cables linking this pylon to the Erkner transformer station, and finally to gradually install a structure parallel to the damaged steel giant after draining the soil beneath its feet. All this in an area that is now entirely fenced off, with work being carried out at breakneck speed in 3×8 shifts (day and night), under constant police protection backed up by private security guards.

Kirchseeon (Germany): incendiary sabotage of a gravel plant

Kirchseeon , incendiary sabotage of a gravel plant

Less than 24 hours after flames engulfed a gravel plant in the Buch district of Kirchseeon, some fifteen kilometers east of Munich, the police in Upper Bavaria came to the conclusion on Tuesday February 6 that it was clearly arson.

Several fires were identified on the site of the gravel extraction plant (a material mainly used for concrete and roads), destroying or seriously damaging a company building, two front end loaders and several conveyor belts shortly before 5 a.m. on Sunday night, February 5.

Manchester, UK : Sabotaged ATM’s in Solidarity with the Palestinian resistance

“Last night, we sealed shut the Barclay’s ATMs at the ASDA supermarket in Hulme, Manchester, and left messages of solidarity with the Palestinian resistance.

We sealed the ATMs by simply applying superglue to pieces of card and forcing the card into the slot, before painting over the screens just to make sure they were out of action for a while.

Machines burned at highway construction site in NW Portland (usa)

10/3/2024
On Tuesday morning I burned three large machines at an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) construction site in Portland. They were destroying the forest hillside on the south side of the st. johns bridge to protect highway infrastructure.

ODOT construction sites, and highway construction in general, often leave expensive (and highly flammable!) specialized equipment unattended and unsecured overnight, making them easy targets. ODOT is planning major highway expansion in the Portland area over the next few years, despite long campaigns by Youth vs ODOT and other environmentalist groups. Acting through the political system is a futile and insufficient response to the current crisis, as capitalism must continue its endless growth no matter how bad things get. The highway system can only expand if we allow it to. With some creativity, courage, and determination, capital is far more vulnerable than it would have you believe.

Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) France : Fuck concrete and its world!

Two excavators set on fire in Marseille!

During the week of February 12, in the Cayolle district of Marseille, the carcasses of two burnt-out excavators appeared on a building site. They had been eating away at the hillside for several weeks in order to build a new street to extend the city.

So the site was at a standstill for some time!

Fuck concrete and its world!

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : rail traffic sabotage against the A69

Sabotage of the Toulouse-Narbonne railroad against the A69

Indymedia Lille, February 29, 2024

In support of opponents of the A69, we sabotaged the Toulouse-Narbonne railway line on the night of February 28-29.

The SNCF is following the lead of the neoliberal state, increasingly abandoning the freight system in favor of roads. The aim is always the same: to make money flow into the coffers of private companies (private carriers, private builders and managers). The song is old by now, only the pace has changed a little, and accelerated in recent years. Widespread social misery is just one of the consequences of this song, while the devastation of our land in the name of profit is another.

We’d like to salute the rebels who, in these winter months on the crèm-arbre zad, have tried to resist the steamroller of a mafia-like and childish system with determination. We can only imagine that the few nights spent in these cabins must have been cold and damp. That’s why we’ve tried to pass on a little warmth.

Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill

[At around 5 a.m. on Monday night, March 5, the Volcano group (Vulkangruppe) set fire to a high-voltage pylon near Steinfurt, a district of the village of Gosen-Neu Zittau in Berlin’s south-eastern suburbs, deliberately cutting off power to Tesla’s “Gigafactory”, located some ten kilometers away. The European factory of Elon Musk’s company, inaugurated in 2022 in Berlin-Grünheide, spits out 6,000 electric SUVs a week, the Model Y, hoping to double its capacity to 1 million units a year.

The plant’s 12,500 employees had to be sent home or told to stay there until production could resume. The Tesla Group is already estimating its economic damage at several hundred million dollars, with an assessment that each day without power or production at its Berlin plant is costing it 50 to 60 million euros. Finally, the General Manager of the Berlin plant, André Thierig, estimates that production will not be able to resume until next week at the earliest, after consulting the electricity grid operator… Here is the translation of the Volcano Group communique published on indymedia germany the same day].

Volcano group switches Tesla off! : Attack on the power supply near Steinfurt

Today, we sabotaged Tesla. Because in Grünau, Tesla devours land, resources, people and labor to spit out 6,000 SUVs – killing machines and “monster trucks” – a week. Our gift for March 8th is to switch Tesla off.

Because the complete destruction of the Gigafactory, and with it, the demise of “techno-fascists” like Elend1 Musk, is a step on the road to liberation from patriarchy. Continue reading Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill →

The Conflict in Abya Yala and its Proximity to “Switch Off!”: Anarchic Words Concerning the Necessary Struggle for the Earth

February 26, 2024 / informativoanarquista

(text and poster received by email 20/02/24, unfortunately the email went to spam)

Faced with devastation: sabotage and war! As the comrades who have raised and formed part of the campaign have understood it, “Switch Off! The system of destruction” consists of the “attack against companies and infrastructures that feed the ecological catastrophe across the world”. Here also, in Abya Yala (ancestral name for the territory known as America), multiple struggles for the defense of the earth have been developed, from the precolonial peoples who continue fighting, to new anarchic perspectives that tip more and more into the struggle for the earth. While we haven’t been able to stop the ecological catastrophe entirely, we can find concrete examples of territorial victories that have managed to stop, expel or at least considerably push back the materialization of extractivist projects, like the resistance and armed offensive of diverse mapuche organizations in Wallmapu.

The struggles in different latitudes aren’t detached form one another and they aim at the same enemies. This is why we believe it favorable to make the “Switch Off!” campaign our own, endowing it with our own territorial circumstances to avoid overlooking our particularities.

Developing Action Capacity: A Path

“We are not special. Our skills are not overly technical or advanced, and our tools are simple to acquire. If you are reading this, you are capable of doing what we do.”

– APD Patrol Car Torched in Lakewood

While I agree with this sentiment, the reader is left with many questions about how to develop such a capacity for action, even if they are motivated. What exactly does it take to not get caught carrying out heavy actions like arson? This is especially important in the long run; not getting caught for a single arson is one thing, but being able to continue carrying out attacks in the face of heightened repressive attention is quite another.

For anyone who wants to carry out actions like this, but isn’t doing so yet, I’ve sketched an outline of the steps I think are necessary to sustain hard-hitting attacks on domination (limited to the topic of “operational” considerations, i.e., acquiring skills). This brief outline is intended to orient you and provide a “learning path” — each step has recommended reading that actually goes into the appropriate amount of depth on the subject. Use the Tails operating system to visit these links, which runs from a USB drive and leaves no trace on your computer. What I’ve written here is by no means definitive, and I hope to spark a dialogue about any operational aspects I may have neglected, as well as anything outside this scope that is important for sustaining and intensifying the capacity for action.

Deepening bonds

For anyone who doesn’t already have an action group, deciding who to act with is the first obstacle to overcome. I prefer to act in groups of two or three; it’s easier to maintain a high level of trust and agility with just a small handful of people. Most actions don’t require more than three participants, and when they do, action groups can collaborate. I prefer not to act alone because some aspects of actions are less risky when there are at least two people (for example, having a lookout). Continue reading Developing Action Capacity: A Path →

Houdeng-Goegnies: a Customs shed burnt down and weapons stolen
RTBF/RTL (Belgium), December 18, 2023

The Houdeng (La Louvière) customs warehouse on the Garocentre site was the target of a fire on Sunday morning. The Mons public prosecutor’s office confirmed on Monday the criminal origin of the building fire, as reported in the local press, as well as a burglary.

The perpetrators entered through a wire fence. They then broke open the sliding door. The hangar was set on fire. Several customs vehicles inside were found burnt out. Weapons, in particular, were also stolen, added the public prosecutor. It remains to be seen whether these weapons were the result of seizures or were customs property.
