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.

Munich (Germany): a new relay-antenna goes up in flames

Munich : a new relay-antenna goes up in flames

At around 3 a.m. on the night of June 9, a new relay-antenna went up in flames in the Waldtrudering district to the east of Munich. The Telekom antenna, some 30 meters high, was engulfed in flames that could be seen for miles around. Material damage is estimated at around one million euros.

State Security (Staatsschutz) was in charge of the investigation, and in this case the K43 police station, responsible for left-wing organized crime. In recent years, unknown assailants have repeatedly set fire to relay-antennas and fiber-optic infrastructure in and around Munich. Total damage: around four million euros.

Breaking Ranks: Subverting the Hierarchy and Manipulation Behind Earth Uprisings

Print PDF: breakingranks_print

Read PDF: breakingranks_read

At this point, many anarchists in the US are already familiar with how tiqqunists destroyed the struggle at the Notre-Dame-des-Landes ZAD (Zone to Defend) occupation in France in favor of legalization and property ownership [1]. The narrative that this tragic conclusion to the decade-long struggle was actually a victory has been regurgitated ad nauseum by tiqqunist platforms in the US. For example, Ill Will Edition’s “The Strategy of Composition” is about applying this “strategy” to the struggle against Cop City: “The territorial phase of the struggle took shape gradually over a ten year period from 2008 until its eventual victory in 2018, and has since continued to nourish collective experiments on the Zone to this day”.

The next initiative of the ex-ZAD tiqqunists failed when those familiar with their methods of recuperation and authoritarianism sabotaged their attempts to take the vanguard of a ZAD located in Carnet. Comrades from the Carnet ZAD along with those from several other struggles co-authored a statement outlining the attempts at cooptation and centralization, which we included as an appendix in this zine as an inspiring example of anti-authoritarians making a struggle inhospitable to authoritarian power plays.

Switzerland ,EN/DE/ IT : 10 Civil Protection Vehicles & 3 Military Vehicles Set on Fire.

Swiss neutrality does not exist

Switzerland, which regards itself as neutral so it can maintain its privileged role as the world’s financial hub, actually bears a lot of responsibility for many wars around the world. The Swiss arms industry exports weapons everywhere, even to countries where there are armed conflicts. Lately it has even relocated some manufacturing facilities abroad so as to circumvent laws that would “ban” arms exports to countries at war, for example to Ukraine, aligning itself fully with NATO’s warmongering interventionist rhetoric.

Switzerland’s role as a financial marketplace and leading commodity trader makes this state a major player in the devastation of the planet and the plundering of the resources of countries in the global south, fueling conflicts and forcing people to leave their countries of origin. Not content with sowing misery all over the world, it prides itself with “defending” its borders against the migration “threat,” with its military guarding the borders and civil defense soldiers running deportation centers.

Everywhere: 5th and 6th nights of riotous revolt, it’s still burning and looting (France)

via: Sansnom translated by Act for freedom now!

[Following the police murder of Nahel in Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine) on Tuesday morning, a first, a second night, a third night, then a fourth night of riots took place across the country, destructive riots of which we published broad illustrated reviews here. And finally, two others (5th and 6th) took place this weekend during the night of 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 July, under heavy police pressure (plus that exerted by para-municipal associative structures or citizens).

What marked these fifth and sixth nights of riots, which the State and its mouthpieces presented as much calmer despite the 157 buildings burned or damaged in a short weekend-end, was in particular that – for lack of being able to hold the street sufficiently or carry out abundant looting as on the previous days/nights – we have also seen in the last two days more targeted and fewer attacks. These have included places dedicated to Justice (Court or House of Law – in Créteil, Aix-en-Provence, Blois, Forbach, Villeneuve-sur-Lot), a tennis club of rich people or private property belonging to the mayors. But rest assured, the institutions of local domination (community centre, media library, town hall, school, police) have not been spared either… ]

Some Numbers

For the night of Saturday 1 to Sunday 2 July, the Ministry of the Interior recorded 871 public road fires, 958 vehicles and 123 buildings set aflame. A total of 26 police stations (ten police stations, ten gendarmerie barracks and six municipal police stations) were attacked. The Ministry of the Interior reports that 45 members of the security forces were wounded and some 773 people arrested on the fifth night of the revolt.
For the night of Sunday 2 to Monday 3 July, the Ministry of the Interior recorded 352 public road fires, 297 cars burned and 34 buildings burned. Some 157 people were arrested during this sixth night of revolt.

Ile-de-France

In total, between the night of June 27 to 28 and July 2 to 3, there were officially 5,662 vehicles burned, 1,313 buildings burned or damaged, including 254 local police and gendarmerie stations. 722 of security forces were injured.Lognes (Seine-et-Marne), night of July 1 to 2: the community centre with the incendiary car which was used to ram it.

In Lognes (Seine-et-Marne), on the night of 1 to 2 July, the Simone Signoret social centre was targeted by a car used to ram into it, which was then ignited.

In Groslay (Val d’Oise), a municipal police vehicle is set on fire outside the police station on the night of 1 to 2 July.Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), night of 1 to 2 July: the Red Cross van did not escape the rioters

In Nanterre (Hauts-de-Seine), a Red Cross van was set on fire during the night of 1 to 2 July. In a press release, the Red Cross said that this truck contained all of their general public-training materials and cited “very significant” financial harm.

Chile: Triple explosive attack against critical infrastructure.

Triple explosive attack against critical infrastructure


Los Álamos (Chile), June 9, 2023. The pylon of the high-voltage power line failed to withstand the shock of the attack.

In the course of one long weekend, three explosive attacks hit various critical infrastructures in Chile. On Friday June 9, 2023, two high-voltage pylons were hit first. One at dawn in the municipality of Placilla, some ten kilometers east of Valparaíso, where Chile’s largest port and industrial facilities are located. The second, at around 11 p.m., took place in Los Álamos (Bío Bío region), home to the special forces bases of the Carabineros and the Navy, one of the centers of Chile’s repressive policies. While the first pylon, with two of its four support bars damaged, remained standing, the second collapsed to the ground, cutting off power between Cañete and Tirúa in the Los Álamos area.

The third attack occurred at around 3am on Tuesday June 13, on the railway bridge over the Itata river in the Ñuble region. The bridge, whose sleepers were blown up and rails shattered by the explosion, is used for freight trains, and in particular for the movement of raw materials such as the thousands of industrial eucalyptus trees destined to supply the Nueva Aldea pulp mill of the Arauco company (Angelini Group). Owned by Chile’s national railroad company (EFE), the line was operated by Ferrocarril del Pacífico (Fepasa), the main rail freight company in the south-central region of the country.
