Holzgerlingen (Germany): Tesla continues to burn

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.

“The law of resilience” and initial lessons from the blackout in Spain

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.

Nord-Toulouse: destroy the power cables of the future Bordeaux/Toulouse high-speed line (France)

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.

Portland Hillsboro, Oregon (USA) : FIRE AT HILLSBORO DATA CENTER

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).

SAINT-CHAMOND (LOIRE) France : « (A)NTI-TESLA CAMPAIGN: BORNE TO BURN »

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.

SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE (SAVOIE) : SABOTAGE of LYON-TURIN  TGV construction site

[Received by mail, 9 April 2025]

Because it’s beautiful

The mountain has neither a mouth nor limbs to defend itself.

At the beginning of this spring 2025 at Saint Jean de Maurienne, severe damage was done to the conveyors transporting entrails sackaged from the mountain, as well as some building machinery, to put them out of their harmful action. This damage was accompanied by the messages « TELT fuck off »* and « Useless Project ».

We opposed ourselves to the new Lyon Turin TGV line and claim this damage whose aim is clear: to slow down the building sites, discourage the project managers and encourage opposition. Continue reading SAINT-JEAN-DE-MAURIENNE (SAVOIE) : SABOTAGE of LYON-TURIN  TGV construction site →

Albig (Germany): sabotaging power before the Easter meal

Network operator EWR received an alarm message at exactly 3:59 a.m. on Easter Saturday night (April 20). The legs of a 20,000-volt high-voltage pylon in Albig (Rhineland-Palatinate) had been deliberately sawed off before it crashed into the local vineyards. The power failure affected the villages of Bermersheim, parts of Ensheim, Armsheim, Flonheim, Bornheim, Lonsheim and a wind farm in the Wörrstadt district.

Somme: beautiful like a wind turbine in flames (France)

Fire: a wind turbine catches fire in the middle of the night in the Somme

Flames in the sky, dozens of meters high: it’s a rare and somewhat impressive sight. Around 11pm on Monday May 5, a wind turbine caught fire at Lafresguimont-Saint-Martin in the Somme region. The fire required the intervention of 27 firefighters, but not to extinguish the blaze, as well as the gendarmerie and Enedis teams. The latter cut off the power supply “to eliminate any risk”, as explained by the SDIS de la Somme.

“On this type of fire, we just set up a safety perimeter to prevent debris from injuring anyone, but we don’t go up, because we can’t access it”, explains the SDIS de la Somme. This is advice from the Ministry of the Interior.

Switzerland/Germany : Sabotaging capitalist normality – Attack on the railway infrastructure (Border zone between Switzerland and Germany)

Sabotaging capitalist normality – Attack on the rail infrastructure

During the night of 9th April, we set fire to railway signal and electric cables with a number of incendiary devices in various places near Basel.

The cops and the media have kept quiet about our action up until now.

Situated on the borders between three countries with maritime links going as far as the North sea, a highly developed rail and motorway network as well as an airport, the town of Basel is a central logistic node for the flux of goods that keep capitalist normality functioning. Given that we have a very low opinion of this state of affairs, we attacked its infrastructure to put a stop to it, at least for a moment.

Our attack was specifically aimed at the transboundary rail transport of goods and people and the rail link to the port of Kleinhüningen. One of the most important north-south links in Europe passes by Basel. The line between Rotterdam and Genoa belongs to the program Trans-European Transport Network and is constantly under expansion. The three Rhine ports of Basel carry out 10% of Switzerland’s foreign trade. About a third of its imports of petroleum products is loaded on to trains and lorries here. One container in four going to Switzerland passes through the ports of Basel. Loaded with merchandise made starting from raw materials plundered from all over the world or construction material with which more and more motorways, banks and jails are being built, the ground is sealed and everything living is buried under a thick layer of concrete.

Munich (Germany): the beautiful fires of April

Map of the series of “unsolved” incendiary attacks in the city of Munich from 2019 to 2025, published by the local press (Sueddeutsche Zeitung, April 22, 2025)

The wave of repression (searches, summonses and arrests) against the anarchist milieu in Munich at the end of February has not succeeded in putting an end to sabotage against the city’s critical infrastructure, as demonstrated, for example, by the two incendiary attacks carried out in the course of last April.

On Tuesday night, April 9, at around 3:20 a.m., the emergency control center of Deutsche Bahn alerted the police to a cable fire in a manhole in Obermenzing, a district to the northwest of Munich. The arson attack caused extensive damage to the cable systems running alongside the tracks, with 8 of them going up in smoke: three copper cables, three fiber-optic cables and two cables used for train signalling. Rail traffic was severely disrupted throughout southern Germany, and the Nuremberg (Bavaria)-Erfurt (Thuringia) high-speed line in particular had to be closed, as the damage caused all signals in this area to turn red. Deutsche Bahn also had to cancel around 96 trains and divert 16 others.

Burning Cables For Beginners a.k.a. Anti-Civ Arson Booklet

Translated from German. Also available in French.

“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part! And you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop!” – Mario Savio

The cornerstone of a sustainable arson campaign is reliable delayed ignition. However, for small groups without a secure procurement network (which is most of them), many older instructions for making timers are simply no longer feasible.

The rise of online stores in recent years has made it almost impossible to get transistors or ICs from local electronics stores with cash. Even if there is such a store in your area, caution is advised as the police are sometimes surprisingly good at tracing back electrical components. Internet ordering is also unfortunately not an option for our purposes. If you try to solder the required parts out of cheap devices from the dollar store, you will quickly realize that the surface mount device (SMD) components used today are usually much too small to solder by hand.

This guide therefore came out of the desire to share our experience with materials that are readily available at supermarkets or hardware stores. It can also be considered an update to the ELF guide “Setting Fires with Electrical Timers”, which is still well worth reading.

Caen, France : « Redwashing » on the ASNR

This week, I was strolling around Caen. Raising my head from my smartphone because of a pavement, I saw on the premises of the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire et de Radioprotection [Nuclear and radioprotection safety authority] and (ASNR, born from the recent fusion between the ASN and IRSN) splotches of red paint at the top of the building facade, stenciled skulls and « Down with nuclear » sprayed on the entrance.

A change from greenwashing! LOL.

Three nights of attacks on the prison guards and an initial summary in france

Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône), Wednesday April 16th, 5:20 a.m.: three cars set alight in the parking lot of the prison.

Since the evening of Sunday April 13, a wave of incendiary attacks (and not only) has hit the penitentiary and the property of its minions in a dozen towns in the south of France and the Paris region. After an initial detailed summary published the day before yesterday, here’s a short, fiery supplement on the third night, from Tuesday to Wednesday April 16, when the guards once again had a taste of ashes.

In addition, while DDPF tags (which journalists believe to be an acronym for “Défense des droits des prisonniers français”, named after a Telegram channel) were found alongside several of the targeted targets, the Ministry of the Interior also mentions “anarchist slogans”. Today, one of its daily mouthpieces gave a little more detail on this subject (Le Monde, 17/4), stating that “in Angers in particular, spray-painted inscriptions were found on the facades of houses close to the prison: ‘support for convicts’ and ‘prison kills’”. In reality, these tags had been drawn up at the beginning of April, i.e. before the attacks… which in no way detracts from their relevance, on the contrary, particularly the “crèvent les taules” (“destroy prisons”) which is so hotly topical in the area.

Lastly, in a lengthy interview with France info (17/4), the national anti-terrorist prosecutor, Olivier Christen, gave his own account of the attacks: he reported “12 incidents, two against the personal homes of prison officers, one against vehicles in the parking lots of the École nationale pénitentiaire (Enap) and nine directly against prisons”. Geographically, “eight départements were affected”, including “a third of the incidents committed in the Bouches-du-Rhône and a third in the Île-de-France region”, with a total of “21 vehicles torched and a dozen vehicles damaged” (not to mention the machine-gunning of the Toulon prison gate and the burning of the ERIS prison gate in Aix-Luynes). In conclusion, this fanatical defender of state terrorism and fervent supporter of armored propaganda, even added a layer of conspiracy theorizing of which he has a secret: “It could be groups of politically radicalized people, it could be groups more linked to organized crime, it could also be a convergence of objectives and people manipulating each other: anything is possible”.

Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône), wednesday april 16th, 5.20am: one of the three burnt-out cars in the parking lot of the prison. 

Tarascon (Bouches-du-Rhône). On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, April 16, at around 5:20 am, three vehicles were set on fire in the prison’s secure parking lot: one belonged to a guard on duty and the other to a company working at the detention center.

Bristol, UK: CCTV cameras and solar panels destroyed at GRC Security protected site

28th April 2025

We chose asoft target, a warm up to bigger things. Easy like throwing a dart into a grapefruit!

Around Bristol G.R.C .Security (now linked to Cava Security) have been pissing off travellers for quite a few years, carrying out common law evictions, using their bulk weight violence, the law and threats of fire. So one place they guard and partol is the old mounted police and dog section, now owned by the Caravan Club, which is situated on Clanage Rd., Bower, Ashton at the foot of the Clifton suspension bridge. It was really easy to scale the perimeter fence with identity concealed, then finding a long plank of wood to batter the CCTV cameras and solar panels.

Also a little dickie bird whispered on the ‘grapefruit’ vine that at the Brandon Hill ‘old’ cop shop eviction one of Cava Security’s vehicles lost some air from their tyres. Keep your eyes open for those dart boards!

Long Live Vandalism!
