Using Arms… They Don’t Resonate, They Explode – A Few Words About the Continuity of Insurrectional Action Against Those Who Oppress Our Lives: Between Universities and Laboratories
Self-determination and autonomy over our bodies in this world is a chimera; we know this. Within a system of domination that is spreading to more and more corners and dimensions, it seems not only improbable but actually impossible. Facial recognition machines controlling more and more accesses to buildings, an Artificial “Intelligence” that makes reality more indistinguishable from fiction every minute, genetically engineered foods and a seemingly infinite etcetera are part of the landscape our bodies inhabit.
Complete autonomy over our bodies doesn’t exist, but there have been numerous and repeated battles of some aspects that we could frame as self-determination: reproduction is one of these.

After Cannes, Nice targeted by electrical sabotage
Le Monde/Le Parisien, May 25, 2025 (excerpt)
The day after a power cut in and around Cannes, a transformer was deliberately set on fire in Nice on Saturday night. According to a police source and the public prosecutor’s office, the transformer in question is located in the Moulins district, to the west of the city.
“On May 25, 2025, at around 2 a.m., an electrical transformer on Avenue Paul Montel in Nice was deliberately damaged and set on fire,” the public prosecutor’s office said. “Traces of tires” were found, and a source close to the case referred to ‘a broken door [of the transformer’s premises]’.
Some 45,000 households were temporarily without power in Nice and the neighboring towns of Saint-Laurent-du-Var and Cagnes-sur-Mer, said Enedis. Nice’s streetcar network was briefly impacted, with a delayed resumption in the early morning, and the airport was temporarily without power. By 6 a.m., power had been restored.
A flagrante delicto investigation has been opened for “destruction by fire in an organized gang” and entrusted to the judicial police. For the time being, there is nothing to link this fire with the events of Saturday, when 160,000 people were left without power not far from Cannes.

Four months ago, on the night of Friday January 25, 23 police vans went up in smoke in the parking lot of the police dog squad in the Bavarian capital. This happened in the west of the city, a few days before the start of the 60th Munich Security Conference, an annual forum devoted to international security issues bringing together NATO countries and their partners. This time, the incendiary attack on the police took place in the east, on Schichtlstraße in the Trudering district, home to the police cavalry squadron.
The arson attack was reported to the authorities at around 3.15 a.m. on Wednesday night (May 22), who then deployed some 70 officers and a federal police helicopter to the area in an attempt to catch the fire devils. But to no avail. The result of this attack, which the Public Prosecutor’s Office handed over to the Bavarian Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism (ZET) to investigate, on the suspicion that it could be attributed to “extreme left-wing circles”? Five trucks and a trailer used to transport police horses were damaged, four of them completely destroyed, and a million euros worth of damage was caused.

Sabotage on the Côte d’Azur: And… cut!
[On the night of May 23 to Saturday, May 24, 2025 in Tanneron (Var) and Villeneuve-Loubet (Alpes-maritimes), the hydroelectric power station and a high-voltage pylon were visited, just hours before the closing of the Cannes Film Festival. The former was set on fire at around 2:45 a.m., plunging the eastern Var and western Alpes-Maritimes into darkness, and the latter collapsed in the morning after its legs were sawed off, depriving the town of Cannes and the surrounding area of electricity for a second time, this time in the middle of the day. This double attack, which Sans Nom published about yesterday, was claimed the next day by “two crews of anarchists” against the Festival and also against Thales Alenia Space, in a communiqué published on Indy Nantes].
Communiqué for sabotage against electrical installations on the Côte d’Azur
AND… CUT!
Two crews of anarchists here. We claim responsibility for the attack on electrical installations on the Côte d’Azur. On the eve of the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony and gala evening, we sabotaged the main substation supplying the Cannes area, and sawed through the 225 kV line coming from Nice.
The aim of this action was not only to disrupt the festival, but also to cut power to Thales Alenia Space’s research centers and factories, its dozens of subcontractors, the French Tech start-ups who thought they were safe, the airport and all other industrial, military and technological establishments in the area. Continue reading (France) Communiqué for sabotage against electrical installations on the Côte d’Azur
[On the night of Friday to Saturday, May 24, several fires broke out at the same Biançon/Saint-Cassien extra-high-voltage hydroelectric power station in Tanneron (Var), at around 2:45 am. The fence was cut and traces of accelerant were found on site. 47,000 homes were without power, from the east of Var to the west of the Alpes-Maritimes. Then, at 10 a.m., thirty-five kilometers away, the pylon of a 225,000 volt high-voltage power line supplying the city of Cannes faltered that morning. Located in Villeneuve-Loubet (Alpes-maritimes), the 28-metre-high pylon suffered “major damage”, with three of its four pillars “sawed off”, leaving 160,000 households in and around Cannes without power.
This double sabotage resulted in a huge blackout in the south-east of France, particularly in Cannes, Antibes, Grasse, Vallauris, Mandelieu-la Napoule and Saint-Cézaire-sur-Siagne. It cut off factories, institutions, shops, elevators, traffic lights, cash dispensers, internet and television (via the modems), the Orange cell phone network (most of the cell tower’s back-up batteries lasted only two hours), railroad lines (train cancellations between Grasse and Cannes and delays between Les Arcs and Antibes), police stations (Antibes, Grasse and Cannes) and film screenings at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. In short, as summed up by a local newspaper on Sunday (Var Matin, 25/5): “Telephone network down, traffic chaotic, stations blocked, businesses at a standstill: the blackout paralyzed a whole part of the territory, just as the world’s spotlights were focused on Cannes on the closing day of the 78th Film Festival.” Power was restored from 3pm onwards, and for all homes in the region only around 4:45pm.
Investigations have been opened by the Grasse and Draguignan public prosecutor’s offices following these acts of sabotage, and the Prefect of Alpes-Maritimes has obviously condemned these “serious acts of damage to the integrity of electrical infrastructures”. Below is an overview of the initial consequences of this anonymous blackout, as seen in the regional and national press on Sunday…]

The fire at the large Enedis electrical transformer in Saint-Chamond, which started just before 3 a.m. last Tuesday night, was sabotage, according to the anti-militarist ultra-left activists who claimed responsibility.
The destruction of the high-voltage to low-voltage transformer opposite the Saint-Chamond police station left more than 3,000 households without electricity for several hours. According to several sources, the cost of restoring the installations will take several months and could amount to as much as 5 million euros.

Bordeaux Sud: AFSB (high-speed line) construction workers set fire to electrical connections with a cigarette!
La Grappe, May 12, 2025 via: sansnom
They’d been warned it was serious to smoke near an area as flammable as the Bordeaux-Toulouse high-speed line construction site. But they wouldn’t listen.
It’s true that since the A69 project was halted by Toulouse’s administrative court, there’s plenty to be nervous about. There’s a whiff of unemployment about the LGV… And it can’t be easy to be involved in a project that received over 90% negative opinions during the public inquiry. You can’t feel at your best! It’s like feeling like you’ve betrayed your own and are fattening up the very people who exploit workers more and more. But don’t complain when there’s no money left for public services. As JP Farandou of the SNCF so aptly put it: “the high-speed train is not a public service”… And yet, it’s our tax money that’s going to pay for this high-speed line. It’s beyond comprehension… In any case, this is the result of their recklessness:

[On May 7, 2025 in Saint-Chamond (Loire), the electrical station at the entrance to the town received a nocturnal visit. Responsible for converting high-voltage electricity into low-voltage, with its cables and large transformer, it was partially set on fire at around 3 a.m., plunging part of the town and its businesses into darkness. Sans Nom reported on this attack here, and three days later it was claimed against the arms dealers in a communiqué which we republish below. It should be noted that a “KO KNDS” tag was left at the scene, which the prefecture spokesmen were careful not to specify].
KO KNDS?
In the early hours of May 7 in Saint-Chamond, we took action against a transformer station. A KO KNDS tag was left behind.

On Sunday night, April 28, twelve new Teslas were set on fire at a major Tesla dealership in Holzgerlingen, south of Stuttgart (Baden-Württemberg region). The fire was reported to the police at around 2 a.m. by a local resident playing with his drone, and the damage amounted to half a million euros. In the words of the German press, investigators are “not ruling out arson”.
The Tesla distribution center at the Buch/Sol industrial park in Holzgerlingen has been in operation since 2022, and is the automaker’s largest in Europe. Recently, arson attacks on Tesla vehicles have occurred on several occasions throughout Germany.

April 28, 2025: Blackout in Spain and Portugal
Power failures, fires, sabotage: companies will have to plan for the worst
Les Echos, May 7, 2025
This week, the French National Assembly begins examining the resilience bill, which will require many “vital” economic sectors to better anticipate extreme risks. One week after the giant Spanish blackout, the vulnerability of businesses is back on the agenda.
Transport at a standstill, digital payments and telecommunications down, food inventories going bad, drinking water cut off in some towns. The Spanish blackout a week ago showed just how vulnerable businesses can be.
The catastrophe didn’t last long enough to turn into a tragedy, but the wake-up call was severe. “The Spanish crisis is a timely reminder to companies of the extent to which risks are multiplying beyond cyberattacks”, points out Philippe Latombe, Modem deputy for the 1st constituency of Vendée. This Wednesday, the special commission he chairs will tackle the bill on the resilience of critical infrastructures and the reinforcement of cybersecurity.

Communiqué from the Group of Enraged Irreverent Cormorants
For several months now, we, the Cormorants of Saint-Jory, have been welcoming zadists to our little forest to defend our meagre patch of nature, one of the few still left here, squeezed between 
shopping centers, industrial zones and expressways. We’re surviving as best we can, and last year we learned that this habitat would be destroyed to make way for a high-speed rail link that will save a few minutes for a handful of human beings. Apparently, for them, this represents progress.
For the fourth time, on Monday April 7, we saw men arrive in our habitat, all dressed in ocean blue, accompanied by iron monsters who had come to destroy the cabins of our ZAD protectors, lay waste to the soil that feeds us and uproot the young trees that sheltered us. We know this is just a taste of what awaits us here.

ANTI-POLITICAL ★ INDIVIDUAL REVOLT ★ INFORMAL ORGANISATION ★ ATTACK
London is a disneyland for the world’s dominators. The scientific and economic elites and their armies of technicians rule here unopposed – without having to fight against any idea which could challenge the foundations of this society. For this reason, they are free to use this city as a stable base to plan, launch, and profit from one-sided slaughters which subdue the lands where ‘critical resources’ are to be found, whether in Congo (cobalt), Yemen (Saudi oil fields) or Gaza and the West Bank (water and land).
But London is not spared from the relentless sacrifice of life to the economy. The bosses and their enforcers have us exactly where they want us: our time and life sucked dry in forced pointless activity called work and school, made sick by toxic materials in order to sustain addiction to useless objects. This city of exploitation and control is an endless ‘opportunity’ for anyone with money and power and an upgraded, high-tech hell for the rest of us.
The latest ‘upgrade’ here in south London is the proposal to expand the tube network of hyper-speed exploitation down the Old Kent Road to Lewisham – a dirty deal between TFL and finance capital which is already yielding luxury developments, springing up like a rash. Rent, energy, food-price hikes which sow desperation and abject dependence on charity… The oppression of passing the days in mouldy, pest-ridden, flood-prone, flammable boxes… Limitless police-state controls on the neighbourhoods… These are just a few of the attacks being deployed.
Not everyone wants to accommodate themselves, fit in, bow their heads, conform to all this. And among those who want to fight back, not everyone wants to put their trust in political parties, trade unions, pressure groups, activists, university career-critics, community leaders, official organisations, federations, large social movements.
Some make the choice of individual revolt which can spread. These ideas and acts of rebellion have nothing to say to those in power, but instead speak directly to raging hearts. Each one in struggle to unleash their own freedom, breathing life into a self-organised struggle for the freedom of all.
This is what we want to explore in the South London Anarchist Bookfair – with discussions and publications, delving into ideas which are outside of time, outside of measure and popularity, out of control. We want to share and explore our choices in the struggle against power in all its disguises, here and now.
On Thursday, May 23rd, a thick cloud of putrid black smoke rose over Hillsboro, OR. The smoke was from an early morning fire at one of the massive data centers based in the city. According to local media, the fire originated from batteries inside the Digital Realty (PDX 11) data center. Unfortunately, the flames did not spread to the rest of the data center and the damage was minimal. Firefighters let the fire burn itself out for five hours. The fire caused major disruptions on the web, including big outages to X/Twitter, which was reportedly one of the companies leasing space at the data center. There is currently no public information about the cause of the fire.
Hillsboro, Portland’s Western neighbor, is home to several major data centers that are the engines of digital control and technological domination. Incentivized by tax breaksand lax regulations, Hillsboro (AKA the Silicon Forest) has become an important international hub for the tech industry. Data centers and chip manufacturer like Intel have expanded their footprint there in recent years, and the AI boom is likely to bring in more new construction. This rapid expansion requires hugely increased power supply; the upgrade of existing transmission infrastructure, the installation of new “green” energy facilities in Eastern Oregon, and even proposals to construct nuclear power plants along the Columbia river. Portland General Electric (PGE) planned on clearcutting several acres in Forest Park to make way for new high-voltage pylons. From Against the Silicon Forest: “These power lines are designed to bring power to the Silicon Forest, most notably given the timing of this expansion, to Intel, whose largest operating hub lies just a short distance west of Forest Park.” The project is currently in limbo, awaiting the next action from PGE (PGE can choose to appeal the land use ruling and win approval from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals).

Attacks against Tesla cars : at Saint-Chamond,
des bornes calcinées
Le Progrès, 30 March 2025
In the car park of the Leclerc centre in Saint-Chamond, situated on the ZAC of the Varizelle, claims are made by floor-marking: « Anti-Tesla campaign, Borne to Burn ». The dozen Superchargers of the factory of Elon Musk were vandalised during the night of Wednesday 26 March to Thursday 27 March at around 4am.
Placed somewhere away from the large surface, under a sun roof, they were subjected to willful damage by fire. Two Superchargers were totally destroyed and the ten others turned out to be unusable having been struck by the flames. This nocturnal destruction – « manifestly targeted action » – is object of a police investigation to establish the technical and scientific findings and relies on video surveillance in the attempt to identify the author(s).
A first in Europe which Saint-Chamond would happily have done without
Right next to some Superchargers of an American company are some transformers aimed at supplying electricity and six other electric charging points of the Ionity mark that had not been vandalised. « This reprehensible act cannot be justified by the crystalisation of the behaviour of the Tesla CEO. These arsons are considered crimes and their authors will have to answer for these misdeeds », adds a police source.
