Düsseldorf (Germany): the “Angry Birds Commando” and collapse…

[Note of Sans Nom: In Germany’s seventh-largest city, Düsseldorf, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, the “Angry Birds Commando” is a regular topic of conversation.

In August 2024, for example, they claimed responsibility for setting fire to railway signal cables in Mettmann, adding to their previous sabotages against rail traffic: one in Düsseldorf in January 2024, and five others in the same city claimed in May 2023. And since the angry birds can also be generous, last September they published a little manual entitled “Kabel anzünden für Beginner” [“Setting fire to cables for beginners”], which contains a number of homemade delay techniques.

But let’s move on to more recent news: on Thursday night, shortly before 6 a.m. on Friday January 24, a fire broke out in a cable shaft near Eller station, a district in the south-east of Düsseldorf, interrupting rail traffic on the city’s most important freight line, as well as passenger line S1 between Düsseldorf and Solingen. This time, while the Angry Birds Commando’s communiqué no. 3 was written in rhyme, the one published the following day on de.indymedia and entitled “Switch off Deutsche Bahn – Communiqué no. 4” is in the form of an open letter. 

Below is a translation, which develops its own vision of collapse, as a contribution to the ongoing debates within the revolutionary movement.]


On Friday morning (January 24), we used tried-and-tested methods to take Düsseldorf’s most important freight line out of service for at least 12 hours. For at least 24 hours, its use was only possible with severe restrictions. In addition to the immediate economic damage, we would like to draw your attention to the following appeal. We would also like to apologize to the travelers affected, and hope that at least a few commuters were able to enjoy a day off as a result.

A violent fire ravages two company hangars

Le Dauphiné, November 28, 2024 (excerpt)

The alarm was sounded shortly before 2 a.m. on the night of Wednesday November 27 to Thursday November 28. A violent fire was ravaging buildings along the Route de Montélimar (RD 540), in La Bâtie-Rolland, east of Montélimar. On arrival on the scene, the fire department found two hangars of the Soterex company, part of the Poisson corporation, which specializes in public works in quarries, completely engulfed in flames.

A large-scale fire-fighting operation was launched. At the height of the response, almost 80 firefighters were engaged to fight the flames. For safety reasons, the nearby departmental road was closed to traffic. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the damage was considerable. One of the two hangars housing equipment and two vans collapsed. Shortly after 2 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, twelve hours after the start of the fire, the blaze was not considered to have been extinguished.

This Rose Has Thorns 2024: A year of anarchic attacks in so-called Portland (USA)

A few years ago, in the aftermath of the George Floyd rebellion in Portland, a zine was made chronicling the autonomous attacks that proliferated across the city as public demonstrations increasingly became a dead end.

Feeling inspired by the daring attacks against authority that occurred in 2024, we decided to create an (incomplete) compilation zine. Some of the attacks listed here were explicitly claimed by anarchists, while others were done by perpetrators with
unknown motivations, but whose actions we think are of
interest to anarchists. All of the attacks mentioned here took
place outside of publicly announced events.

Here’s to a 2025 full of joy and destruction! Long Live Anarchy!

Issue 3 of anarcho-nihilist / insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been released

PDF download link: [ENG] Blessed Is The Flame – Issue #3

(For those who wish to print the newspaper, see the instructions below.)

The 3rd issue of the anarcho-nihilist/insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been published. Its pages contain reports of direct actions, claims of responsibility, texts, poems, and news from anarchist prisoners and trials that were published in November and December 2024 in ten different languages across various parts of the world, or were sent to us via email and are being published for the first time. (Some of the texts published for the first time will also be uploaded as standalone posts on our blog, blessed-is-the-flame.espivblogs.net.)

Our goal is not only to break down the linguistic barriers that hinder information, solidarity, and the dissemination of propaganda by the deed on an international level but also to give counter-information a printed form. We believe it is crucial for counter-information to transcend the limits of the digital realm.

Celebrate with Fire (Canada)

Friday January 10 2025

Cameras were blocked, tactics practiced and sharpened, trust and affinity were built and clarified. Taking advantage of these dark and long nights, a festive crew piled up some scavenged Christmas trees, blocking the CN tracks on the property of Ray-Mont Logistics in Hochelaga’s Terrain Vague.

A big bonfire and joyful celebration ensued, and we made an escape before the security guards made their regular rounds – with meters high flames burning into the skyline long after we left.

To your jacks [criques] ? Ready ? Get cracking ! (Sabotage near Bure)

Indymedia Lille / Saturday 7 December 2024

End of November, while the cops were going about their usual harassment in Bure and surroundings, we decided to sneak out for a little night getaway along the old railway line under the starry sky.
We twisted a rail between Nançois and Gondrecourt le château using a bottle jack to obstruct track rehabilitation work for the Cigéo project.

France: Communique claiming responsibility for the attack on three electrical transformers in Toulouse on the night of December 2 to 3, 2024

Toulouse: “They refused to be cannon fodder, we will refuse to be drone fodder”.

Communique claiming responsibility for the attack on three electrical transformers in Toulouse on the night of December 2 to 3, 2024

That night, with light hearts, we wandered around the city in search of a breath of fresh air, a nice encounter, an adventure like only the night knows how to welcome. And as it’s impossible to walk 500 meters in this sad city without coming across one of these industrial horrors at the service of the generalized massacre underway, the adventure quickly presented itself to us. Light-hearted, but never insensitive or resigned, we went looking for a few treasures of our own, which we scattered here and there, so that, with one great BANG, these industries of death would finally power off.

Two cranes sabotaged at Damen Oranjewerf, Amsterdam (Netherlands)

In a recent speech NATO chief Mark Rutte warned that “we are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years,” and that Europe needs to “shift to a wartime mindset and turbocharge defense production and defense spending.” While NATO prepares for the war to come, arms companies worldwide make millions on war that is already here, and millions of migrants flee from wars present and past.

We as anarchists must ask ourselves how we will act, today and tomorrow. Will we complain online about the latest outrage or join those marching in circles begging the politicians for crumbs; to do something, anything, other than funding these merchants of death? Or will we take matters into our own hands? Organizing mutual aid for those displaced by conflict, climate and the economy. Blockading and sabotaging the arms companies that make war, colonialism, and genocide possible in the first place. On the first day of christmas some anarchists chose to do the latter.

Munich (Germany): the series of nocturnal attacks continues

On Monday night, November 26, two excavators went up in smoke in the Au-Haidhausen district of southeast Munich. More precisely, at around 3 a.m., they went up in flames in Zeppelinstrasse, where a bicycle path extension project was underway. The two burnt-out construction machines belonged to the Strabag Group, one of Europe’s largest construction companies, involved in every conceivable infamy on the planet.

In the prison-city that serves as Bavaria’s capital, this is of course not the first time that construction equipment has been set ablaze at night, each time causing “several tens of thousands of euros” worth of damage, as on this chilly late November day. Since 2019, the police have counted no fewer than thirty such incendiary attacks in and around Munich, a review of which can be found here.

Berlin (Germany): attack on the arms company ThyssenKrupp

ThyssenKrupp grows rich on war and genocide

Many are angry. Angry at the genocide in Gaza. Angry at the bombs falling on civilians, schools and hospitals. Against global military rearmament. Against the bloodshed and forced displacement of millions. Against propaganda for “war capacity” and a Germany “ready to defend itself”. Against arms supplies and arms industry profits, and against plans to reintroduce compulsory military service. Against automated assassination through AI-directed drone attacks.

Too much anger.
That rage was unleashed yesterday.
Against the arms company ThyssenKrupp.
Yesterday, three trucks were set on fire at the ThyssenPlastics plant in Berlin, and a warehouse was set on fire.

Why ThyssenKrupp?

Through its subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS), Thysenkrupp makes billions building warships of all kinds. These include submarines, corvettes and frigates produced in Hamburg, Kiel and Emden. Thyssen Krupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is Germany’s sole supplier of submarines.
