Wülfrath : sabotage of the railway tracks of the lime quarry
Translated from German via de.indymedia, August 8, 2022 (excerpt)
On the night of August 3 to 4, 2022, we, an offensive group, sabotaged the railroad tracks of the company Lhoist Germany Rheinkalk GmbH near Wülfrath by twisting the rails and thus making them unusable, with various methods. In doing so, we took care that no uninvolved persons were affected. We consciously opted for offensive means because we believe that these forms of action must regain a large place in the climate justice movement.
Complementary to existing forms of action, they offer us a possibility to break out of the stagnant political situation and to inflict damage to both the companies and the system with additional steps. With the sabotage of the rails, we have effectively cut off Europe’s largest limestone quarry from its most important goods transport routes. The two main players in the lime production site are the billion-dollar groups RWE and Thyssenkrupp.
Why this particular target?
The fossil fuel company RWE operates several brown coal mines in the Rhineland (including Europe’s largest open-cast mine in Hambach). However, this is not enough: despite the long overdue decision to get out of coal, it is about to expropriate the village of Lützerath near the Garzweiler 2 mine, in order to expand it even further. For the operation of open-pit mines and power plants huge quantities of limestone are needed. The lime is used for the preparation processes and is required by law, without it the production must be stopped.

Vitry-sur-Seine (94) : to the assault of the cop shop
Molotov cocktails, mortar fire… two policemen injured after the “coordinated” attack on the Vitry police station
Le Parisien, August 1, 2022
No more than a few shards of bottles and traces of fire remain on the ground. However, a real confrontation took place at the foot of the police station of Vitry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne), during the night of Sunday to Monday, August 1. Several people, all dressed in black, attacked the police station, at around one o’clock in the morning, throwing Molotov cocktails first at the back of the building, then firing mortars at the facade.
The material toll was also high: in addition to the police station hit by five Molotov cocktails and mortar fire, up to 56 impacts were found on the car of one of the patrols. Two police vehicles were partially destroyed.

A fiery July in the Mapuche territories
On July 9, 2021 in Carahue (Chile), Pablo Marchant Gutiérrez was assassinated during an attack against vehicles of the company Forestal Mininco, subsidiary of the cellulose giant CMPC. The 29-year-old former anthropology student, who later joined the Mapuche struggle through CAM (Coordinadora Arauco Malleco), was participating in the burning of a minibus, a skidder and a tanker at around 5pm on the Santa Ana-Tres Palos estate, when he was shot in the head at close range by carabinieri charged with protecting the interests of the loggers. Following this police assassination, the whole Mapuche area was set ablaze for many weeks.
Today, one year after the death of Pablo Marchant, how do we think that comrades who fell during the struggle can be commemorated? By organizing marches where we sit with dignity on the ground in a stony silence? By organizing unitary demonstrations to wave their big flags in the wind between two conferences, while making sure that nothing can boil over, in the name of “dignity” and “memory”, of course? Or by multiplying dispersed attacks in order to continue the struggle, thus continuing to make their ideas live within it? In any case, this is what the decentralized groups of the CAM, called Territorial Resistance Organizations (ORT*), but also other Mapuche struggle groups and anonymous people, have chosen, with a multiplication of forest interests destroyed around this anniversary in different areas of the region.
A brief chronological overview of these recent attacks in Mapuche territory (La Araucanía, Los Ríos and Bío Bío regions) …

Night of May 18, 2022. The production workshops of ” Précis Mécanic “, supplier of the war industry and other technological nuisances, go up in smoke…
A plume of black smoke
It was exactly two months ago. On the night of May 17 to 18, 2022, shortly before midnight, a large plume of black smoke rose above Sassenage (Isère). A large blaze was in the process of devouring hundreds of square meters in an industrial zone located northwest of Grenoble. Major resources were deployed on site, but the firemen only managed to save the company’s administrative offices and a storage depot. The production workshop was completely destroyed. The 40 skilled workers and engineers employed by the company were put on unemployment until production could be restarted on another site.
If the press did not conceal this nocturnal fire with a modest veil of silence, it did not look further than the plume of smoke that rose that night over the Grenoble basin. This is perhaps because the name of the company ravaged by the flames is not particularly evocative. And indeed, one cannot prove them wrong: “Précis Mécanic” does not seem to be a name designed to attract attention. Yet, among the clientele of this precision mechanics and machining SME, which celebrated its fifty years of existence in 2016, appear well-known names from the technology industry: Schneider Electric, Siemens, Orano, Bosch, JST Transformateur. And that’s still without mentioning the services Précis Mécanic has already provided to the military industry, a merit it boasts on its own website: “production of card baskets, boxes for electronic cards embedded in nuclear submarines and fighter planes.”
WAR REPORT – Incendiary attack on corporation in Brazil
To all
We assume responsibility for the arson attack to a unit of the corporation Lojas Marisa (clothing retailer) located at 431 Martin Afonso St in downtown Martin Afonso 431 in the center of the city of São Vicente, on the coast of the province of São Paulo, on the afternoon of 14-07-2022. A member of our collective placed a small incendiary device with a time mechanism directly on the electrical network of the air conditioner. The device worked as expected, causing a short circuit and a fire. The fire totally destroyed the commercial establishment.

Our action was a reprisal for the support that Lojas Marisa gave to the psychopath Jair Bolsonaro in the 2018 elections. Lojas Marisa and its controller, Zionist millionaire Ricardo Goldfarb, were financiers of the fake news scheme on the WhatsApp network orchestrated by Yankee mercenary Steve Bannon to swindle the 2018 elections and elect Bolsonaro.

Arco, three relay antennas attacked in the same night
On the night of June 24 in the town of Arco (Trentino region), located not far from the famous Lake Garda, no less than three large antennas went up in smoke at the same time.

And not to simplify the task, these antennas were located in three different parts of the city: one in Via Gobbi, another in Rovereto Alley, and the last in Via Cavallo in the neighborhood of San Giorgio. One was of the operator WindTre and the other two jointly of WindTre and Iliad, all equipped with 5G. Continue reading Arco (Italy): three relay antennas attacked in the same night
