Grand Est,France : sabotage of an EHV pylon, some technical advice

Communique #2: Sabotage of an extra-high voltage pylon in France/

Grand Est

Indymedia Lille, February 12, 2023

In December 2022, in solidarity with the hunger-striking prisoner Alfredo Cospito, we sabotaged an EHV pylon and partially removed its bolts (https://actforfree.noblogs.org/post/2022/12/27/france-grand-est-attack-against-nuclear-infrastructure-in-solidarity-with-alfredo-cospito/). The sabotage of a high voltage line is not without risk and, even if it is done without error, there is always some risk. However, we found this risk acceptable and the action entertaining. Since direct action is always an attempt to motivate and inspire other contexts, we had already announced our intention to give some technical advice:

Choice of target: When choosing the mast, make sure that the insulators (the ceramic coils to which the cables are attached) are vertical! A diagonal or horizontal position indicates a tensile load in the corresponding direction. Choose the most isolated location possible. Make sure that there are no people between the object and the nearest pylons (e.g. busy roads crossing the line). Choose your escape route so that it cannot be blocked by the falling line.

Risk assessment/mitigation: It happens occasionally (although rarely) that electricity pylons bend or fall, even without sabotage. This can happen, for example, due to storms, the weight of snow, or simply material fatigue or inadequate maintenance. The result is a risk of premature collapse of the mast. This risk increases with each screw loosened and exponentially with each foot completely unscrewed. It is up to you, as a group, to decide how far you want to go. In all cases, plan the action taking into account the possibility of the mast falling while you are still there. Both at the base of the mast and where the cables touch the ground, there is a potentially lethal amounts of electricity on the ground within a certain radius! Move away from the object as quickly as possible in the opposite direction of the fall. Ensure that your body remains in contact with the ground at all times (grounding), walking with small “shuffling” steps. Make sure that the weather conditions are favorable. Do not perform this action in strong wind, heavy rain or snowfall!

Welcoming committee for the minister of labor

sabotage of the railway north of Toulouse

The Minister of Labor was invited to the headquarters of the newspaper La Dépêche on Thursday to promote the pension reform and defend his vision of the world.

As a welcoming committee worthy of the name, the railway line north of Toulouse was sabotaged. The train embodies the supply tool of the economic system in labor and commodities. A system that works Just In Time can be disrupted by attacking these veins.

In solidarity with all those who refuse this world, who are in the streets these last weeks, who fight for a better life

Hanover : Siemens under fire

de.indymedia, February 10, 2023

On the night of February 7-8, 2023, we placed incendiary devices with delays under four vehicles of the company Siemens in Hannover/Laatzen. Unfortunately, not all of them burned, but we know for sure that at least one of them was completely destroyed.

From Lützerath to Yucatán, Siemens is involved in every sordid affair!

Digitization, automation, data and signal transmission, energy generation, electrification, extension of the railway network – Siemens provides the infrastructural basis for capitalist and neo-colonial exploitation worldwide.

Unknown individuals set fire to a police vehicle. At about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 28, a passerby discovered the flames in a parking lot on Rudolstädter Straße in the Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. Police Station #26 was nearby, and their vehicles were parked there.

A police spokesman said that “firefighters extinguished the flames inside the van, whose side window had been broken,” preventing the flames from spreading to other adjacent police vehicles. The State Security (Staatsschutz) was in charge of the investigation.

Gare de l’Est: why is the interruption of traffic due to a “sabotage” so prolonged?
Le Parisien, January 24, 2023

“It’s titanic,” agrees an agent, this Tuesday afternoon, regarding the extent of the damage, which explains the interruption of train traffic at Gare de l’Est, all day Tuesday. In front of him, on the ground, a tangle of cables of all kinds. On the side, two others patiently arrange portions of fiber optics, “it’s like long hair that is tangled”.

During the night of Monday to Tuesday, a fire broke out near the railroad tracks at Vaires-sur-Marne.

The alert was given to the police station of Noisiel around 4:35 am, says the prosecutor of Meaux. The public prosecutor of Meaux specifies that, according to the first indications of the investigation, entrusted to the judicial police of Meaux, “a first box housing electrical cables had been set on fire after two concrete panels barring access to the trap door where this box is inserted in the ground had been removed and deposited,” he said. “A second box, located on the other side of the tracks, accessible through a tunnel under the tracks, had also been damaged by fire.” In total, 48 cable arteries, or about 600 electrical cables, were damaged. The equivalent of 4 km in length.

Vaires-sur-Marne, le 24 janvier 2023. Environ 600 câbles de la SNCF ont été endommagés par un incendie volontaire, sous la voie ferrée. La circulation a été interrompue toute la journée.

Traffic disrupted at the Gare de l’Est in Paris after a fire caused by a “malicious act”.
France Info/France 3 Grand Est/Le Parisien, January 24, 2023

Bad surprise for SNCF users. The traffic at the Gare de l’Est in Paris will be interrupted “all day” following a “fire of electrical cables”, announced Tuesday, January 24, which had initially expected a resumption at 10 hours. The Minister of Transport, Clément Beaune, and the SNCF have denounced an “act of malice” in a signal box that has caused the total interruption, at the departure and arrival of the Parisian station of the traffic of TGV and TER, as well as the line P of the Transilien.

Around 8:30 am, the SNCF said that it was an act of deliberate vandalism: “The act of malice is proven: a deliberate fire on the sheaths of electrical power supply cables of signaling and switching facilities is the cause of the interruption of traffic. The diagnosis is still underway,” reads the page dedicated to the incident. “There was an act of deliberate vandalism,” confirmed Anne-Marie Pannier, head of SNCF Réseaux in Ile-de-France, who said that SNCF gutters were opened and 48 cables located inside were burned.” The consequences are that all the signaling stations no longer receive quality and reliable information that is required to run trains safely on the network,” explained Anne-Marie Pannier late this morning.

The Twitter page of Line P reports “a fire in a technical room in the Vaires sector” (Seine-et-Marne) and “a signaling incident” in another sector, with a photo of the cables that burned.

“Europe is overflowing with hundreds of billions of dollars for its economic recovery and rearmament plans, quite the opposite of a reduction in its electricity production centers seems to be in the making, with Germany, for example, having just reactivated all of its hundred or so coaland
lignite-based power plants (including the 27 that had previously been suspended in order to meet its carbon emission goals), and also extended the operation of its last three nuclear power plants, which were due to be shut down by the end of 2022. This grandiose combination of 19th century
coal with 20th century nuclear power to feed the devouring requirements of 21st century industry and digital technology is not surprising…”

Istres (Bouches-du-Rhône) : fire at the municipal police station (France)

Istres : the police station of Prépaou burned during New Year’s Eve
La Provence, January 5, 2023 (excerpt)

Flames licked the entrance of the Prépaou municipal police center and municipal police officers were helpless in facing the disaster. While an undeclared fireworks display was held in the neighborhood, as in many other municipalities to celebrate the New Year, in the presence of many families, the situation degenerated once the residents returned home.

Some young people set fire to some containers and attacked the municipal police officers on the site. When they were called, the national police immediately dispatched half a company of CRS officers from Miramas. But the municipal police station had already been damaged by nearby garbage can fires. “Five arrests were then made during the night for arson and the investigation is ongoing,” confirmed the police prefecture.
