Roussas (Drôme)France : three wind turbines go up in smoke

South Drôme: three wind turbines damaged by fire still out of service
France Bleu, September 8, 2025

Three wind turbines at the wind farm in Roussas, in southern Drôme, were deliberately damaged by fire during the night of Wednesday to Thursday [September 4]. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but this is not the first time that a facility has been targeted in the department.

It had been several years since such an act of vandalism targeting wind turbines had taken place in the Drôme department. During the night between Wednesday and Thursday, one or more individuals broke into the Claves wind farm in Roussas, in the south of the department, and set fire to the bases of three wind turbines (the farm has six in total). In the morning, the operator noticed the damage and notified the gendarmerie. The company RES, which operates the farm, confirmed on Monday that the wind turbines have been taken out of service since the fire and that damage assessment is underway.

LEIPZIG (GERMANY) : PROFITEERS FROM CONTROL ON THE GRILL

Fire to those who profit from control and surveillance
Teilauto on the grill

Translated from German from de.indymedia, 6th August 2025

In Leipzig over the past few years a number of vehicles belonging to the municipal service in charge of respect for law and order, known as « municipal police » [Polizeibehörde], have caught fire spontaneously on various occasions.

In 2020, they lost so many cars that they could no longer turn up to their places of intervention. Interventions during which they harassed people in parks because they didn’t want to lock down during the state of emergency linked to the coronavirus, 2G controls [controls linked to the obligatory health pass], etc.

Kassel (Germany): Fire at army vehicle depot

[On Tuesday, August 19, in Kassel (Hesse region), at around 3 a.m., flames engulfed four civilian vehicles belonging to the German army (Bundeswehr) fleet, parked on the site of the former Lüttich barracks in the Marbachshöhe district. All four vehicles (one Iveco, two Mercedes Vitos, and one Volkswagen station wagon) were completely destroyed in the attack, with damages estimated at €150,000 by the police. The following is a translation of the communiqué published the next day on de.indymedia and signed by “anarchists”…]


Never ready for war! Fire to the Bundeswehr vehicle depot in Kassel

It’s war, and Germany is preparing for it. A military, political, and economic frenzy has broken out, and everyone is expected to rally behind it. “Operation Germany” is supposed to get the country ready for war within five years, and camouflage is popping up everywhere: Rheinmetall, KNDS, and others are snapping up sites one after another, the civilian clause is crumbling in universities, Volkswagen’s management is openly considering getting into the arms business, hospitals and supply structures are being prepared for war, and the Bundeswehr (German army) is promoting military service in schools, on social media, and on billboards through carefully polished marketing campaigns. Investment in armaments is becoming a principle of sustainability.

Alongside material and ideological rearmament, there is an authoritarian shift within the country, as evidenced by the crackdown on solidarity with Palestine and the anti-militarist movement. This historic repressive turn is also in full swing.

Berlin (Germany): cutting power to Europe’s largest technology park  

[Note of Sans Nom: On Tuesday, September 9, in the southern districts of Berlin, at around 3:30 a.m., flames engulfed two 35-meter-high, 110-kV electricity pylons located on Königsheide Street in the Johannisthal district, cutting power to Europe’s largest technology park located nearby in Altendorf. Steel chains were also wrapped around the cable insulation sheaths to cause a short circuit once they had melted in the flames. These two pylons are located at the end of the overhead line, where electricity passes from the air to the underground route.
More broadly, all of the southern districts of the German capital were left without power, including its 50,000 residents, 3,000 businesses (including those in the technology park), shopping centers, trams, a dozen schools (which remained closed), traffic lights, and telephone communications.
The temporary connection system that was put in place only managed to restore full power after 60 hours (on the afternoon of Thursday, September 11), and repairs to the network on the two pylons are expected to last until 2026, according to a spokesperson for the company Stromnetz. This power outage in Berlin is also the longest in decades, since the accidental outage in Köpenick in February 2019 affected only 30,000 households and lasted about 30 hours.
Here is a translation from German of the communiqué published on the same day on de.indymedia, signed “Some anarchists”…]

Attack on the military-industrial complex – Blackout in Europe’s largest technology park
September 9, early morning: thousands of cities wake up, millions of people are roused from their sleep by the shrill beep of their alarm clocks, heralding the start of another day of monotony and apathy—15 minutes to drink a coffee before rushing off to work. An hour on public transport, a few exchanged glances, no one talking, everyone glued to their screens. Tons of cars crisscross the streets, the noise of sirens scaring the few birds circling above the city. Neighborhoods become a little more dreary every day. Loneliness settles in among the crowds, between concrete buildings, fences, and cameras. Surrounded by a police presence that threatens to suffocate us more and more.
Advertising screens encourage us to consume or invite us to join the German army (Bundeswehr). Yes, here we are again: “The world will rise again thanks to the German spirit” [a famous line from a poem by Geibel in 1861, intended as a call to the world to “become more German”]. The “historic turning point” requires unwavering defense of the homeland and readiness for war, with the “body of the people” sticking together and making sacrifices. Militarization is advancing, and behind the neoliberal promise of prosperity, the fascist face is showing itself more and more openly. Resignation and pessimism are gaining ground, and there is a certain sadness in the air.

Hamburg (Germany): Sabotage of port freight traffic

Sabotage warmongering and rearmament! “Whatever the cost.”

On the night of August 7-8, 2025, we sabotaged a freight railway line in the port of Hamburg, south of Wilhelmsburg. We deliberately chose this section because we did not want to impact rail passengers, who are already struggling, but rather the arms industry and warmongers.

The port of Hamburg is an important transshipment hub for military equipment. Tons of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and components leave there every day.

Much of this military equipment is produced in Hamburg. Various Hamburg-based companies manufacture weapons themselves or knowingly supply specific components, whether optical, electronic, or mechanical. Those who profit from war supply both the Bundeswehr [German army] and the armed forces of other countries.

southwestern France, Luzenac (Ariège): Sabotage of the world’s largest talc quarry

Luzenac: has a criminal act targeted the talc quarry?
La Dépêche du Midi, June 5, 2025

Has the Trimouns quarry, one of the world’s largest talc operations, been the target of an act of vandalism? Situated at an altitude of over 1,500 meters, this strategic site alone accounts for almost 10% of the world’s production, with 400,000 tons extracted every year. A fire of suspicious origin recently damaged essential installations, without however interrupting operations.

At around 5 a.m. on Monday May 12, teams from Imerys, the multinational in charge of operations, discovered the damage. The installations upstream of the cable car had been hit by a fire, causing extensive material damage. “Initial observations reveal that the conveyor belts and electrical system have been severely damaged,” confirms a company spokesperson. No casualties were reported, but according to several sources, the cost of repairs would exceed half a million euros. The group declined to comment on this estimate.

Three Rail fires in three months: some facts and thoughts (USA)

via: rosecitycounterinfo

Over the last three months, three rail bridges have been damaged or destroyed by fires in the Oregon and Washington area. Each of these fires was set intentionally. No arrests have been made, and to our knowledge, none of these actions have been accompanied by any claim or explanation.

But the world around us is the only explanation we need.

As we barrel forward towards a future of untold climate disasters and total ecological mutilation, the processes of extraction show no sign of stopping… They have only accelerated, with companies racing to exploit new corners of the earth for rare-earth minerals, essential components in chips and semi-conductors, the building blocks of our new digital prisons. Power has proposed false “green solutions” that only serve to further our dependence on technology and extraction and polish the face of industrial capitalism.

The fires

In May, a fire completely destroyed a 100 year old wooden rail bridge along a remote stretch of the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad in Washington. By the time firefighters could reach the blaze, the rail bridge was reduced to a smoldering, maimed clump of metal. The fire struck just hours after a sale was completed of the railway, transferring ownership to the Western Forest Industries Museum. Rail Operations were limited at the time of the fire, but the new company had planned to fully resume rail traffic on the line, both tourist and freight. Even after months of investigation, no arrests have been made. Continue reading Three Rail fires in three months: some facts and thoughts (USA)

AI Event Crashed in SE Portland, Vehicles Vandalized (USA)

[INFORMATION FROM LOCAL NEWS]

A group of six masked people vandalized the Southeast Madison Street office of the coworking space Kiln at about 6:45 pm on Thursday, in full view of diners at nearby restaurants and food carts. Flyers left behind at Kiln’s office suggested Kiln was targeted for hosting an artificial intelligence networking event.

The incident appears to coincide with AI Portland’s Summer Soiree event held last night. The networking event, which began at 6 pm, was organized for AI professionals and fans to nerd out over data and algorithms.

anarchists attack flock cameras in Oakland and sf
some anarchists disabled 75+ flock cameras in oakland and sf (lost count a lil bits). a lot of them got doused with paint, others are totally destroyed and scattered around town. easily reproducible stuff. you can use a fire extinguisher to paint the lens, or climb up streetlights to reach them with a hammer (or tin snips, for the clamp). you can also uproot flock’s own poles, from the base, with an adjustable crescent wrench. mask up, and enjoy watching cameras take their last pictures ever!

Soltau and Erfurt (Germany): German army trucks on fire


Erfurt (Germany), June 21: six German army trucks on fire

[Note of Sans Nom: Yesterday, Monday June 23, a dispatch from the German Press Agency (dpa) announced – to the delight of young and old alike – that six German army trucks had gone up in smoke over the weekend in Erfurt (Thuringia region). The trucks were parked in the north of the city, in the parking lot of a maintenance and repair workshop.

This incident comes at a time when the German government is considering compulsory military service, introducing a Veterans’ Day (June 15), boosting the preparation and militarization of the public, and above all spending immeasurable sums for war: the creation of a special €500 billion investment fund earmarked for so-called “security” investments, and an increase in its annual defense budget from €63 billion in 2025 (2% of GDP) to €160 billion by 2030 (3.5% of GDP).

In short, the Erfurt attack was a reminder that not everyone in Germany is prepared to accept this militaristic race to the abyss, whether in Hamburg on June 15, when the director of the Vincorion arms company received an incendiary visit to his home, in Berlin on June 10 when the microchip company Micro Resist Technology was sabotaged, in Berlin on June 17 when thirty-six vans belonging to war collaborators Telekom and Amazon went up in smoke, or on June 6 in Soltau (Lower Saxony) when five army trucks had already been burned: an attack claimed the following day on de. indymedia, which is translated below].

Fire against the Federal Army! – Arson attack on army vehicles in Soltau (Lower Saxony, Germany)

War and genocide are the most brutal means used in the struggle for control of resources, territories and people. They always go hand in hand with the claim to justify the mass annihilation of human life, forced displacement, collective trauma and unbridled destruction.

Châtel-Saint-Denis (Switzerland): flooding deep sea miners

flooding deep sea miners

[On April 24, North American President Donald Trump signed an executive order to allow large-scale mineral extraction in the deep ocean, including international waters, regardless of what the IAMF (International Seabed Authority) thinks. This is how many people discovered the existence of the Canadian company The Metals Company (TMC), which immediately declared itself ready to scour the seabed, but also its Dutch-Swiss shareholder Allseas, which employs around 4,000 people worldwide and has the robot technology to do so.
