A Communique on Sabotaging Zionist Infrastructure: Shutting Down Friends of the IDF -Water Main Cemented

For Palestine.

To rebels everywhere.

With deepest love and ancestral rage,

We gathered with heavy hearts and humble hands holding a promise for a world safer from white supremacist, settler-colonial violence. Those who declare war on original peoples and pillage sacred life and land will face retribution. There has been a great fire building, may it overflow and take all enemies of life with it. May it create fertile grounds for victory against violent occupiers.

We took it upon ourselves to make sure these fascists could not gather. Rather than the constant reactivity and rigidness of mass protest spectacles, we wanted to hit them where it fucking hurts.

On November 5th, the Zionist fascist scum, “Friends of the IDF,” who represent the interests of wealthy American capitalists in their direct support of the settler colonial state of Israel and its continued campaign of genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people, attempted to hold a fundraiser gala at Hiller Aviation Museum in San Carlos, California.

Anarchist comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno has died on 6th December at the age of 86

You will always be alive with us through our action and our lives. “ACTION REPLACES TEARS”

Alfredo Maria Bonanno, born in 1937 in Catania, Sicily, is one of the most prolific contemporary anarchists, responsible for Anarchismo editions and other publishing ventures. In 1977 he was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his book La Gioia Armata (Armed Joy). This book had been published at a historical moment when the Italian revolutionary movement was openly going on the offensive, while similar conditions existed in other European countries (Germany, Spain, England, Greece, Chile and more) and the question of violence was on the daily agenda. His contribution lies in a celebration of the pervasive class violence that liberates and satisfies the individual, but at the same time he sounds the alarm about the emergence of the armed party, which reduces the class conflict to a militaristic dimension, imposing the mediation of a small minority of armed men on the complexity of tens of thousands of people struggling by all means against the current reorganization of Capital, which at that moment seemed weak.

In the spirit of the book, all authentic liberating and destructive action comes from a logic of satisfaction in the struggle, not a self-sacrificing duty in accordance with the dictates of a micro-bureaucracy. The Italian Supreme Court ordered the destruction of the copies of the book that were in circulation, and sent a circular to public libraries to dispose of any copies they might have had.

Several librarians objected to this Nazi-inspired tactic. Its circulation was generally banned, and copies were confiscated from the homes of anarchist militants in the context of police raids on houses.

Shortly afterwards, the author was accused of being an “instigator” of the Azione Rivoluzionaria, an armed organisation of 1976-79, which operated on the basis of “affinity groups” throughout central Italy, mainly against newspapers and party offices, and similar “manipulative mechanisms of consensus-building”. In 1979 the organisation was practically dismantled with the arrest of 86 people and the arrest of Salvatore Cinieri and Gianfranco Faina. The first went on to die in prison in a scuffle with criminal inmates when he defended a prisoner suspected of submitting an escape plan, while the second was released to die of lung cancer after being diagnosed with a tumour while in custody.

Athens, Greece: Fire to the ATTIKO METRO machinery! By Anarchists

Athens,Fire to the ATTIKO METRO machinery! (excerpt)

In the early hours of November 17th, we attacked and set fire to 3 ATTIKO METRO machines at the construction site of line 4 in the area of Kaisariani at the junction of Ethnikis Antistaseos and Filolaou streets.

Our action is the conceivable sequel of the slogan that we shouted so many times together with thousands of other demonstrators at the gatherings and demonstrations against the destruction of Exarchia square by the cooperation of the state-contractors-Attiko Metro-municipal authority. Mobilizations that have intensified recently, after the invasion of the machinery in the square with the aim of clearing the area of trees, bushes, etc.

Finally, we chose our incendiary attack to take place at a time and day (early morning on November 17, 2023) when, according to media reports, 5000 thousand policemen were patrolling the streets of Athens ahead of the mobilizations for the 50th anniversary of the Polytechnic uprising. Our arson attack took place within breathing distance between the Kaisariani police station and the headquarters of the YMET (special units of the Greek Police)in Oulof Palme avenue, proving that the city belongs to those who wish to destroy order and not to those who are paid to enforce it. Now and always.

DEVELOPMENT SABOTAGE, FIRE TO THEIR PROJECTS!

Nationwide Subsidiary Attacked in East Bay Area, CA (USA)

Nationwide Subsidiary Attacked in East Bay Area, CA

On the early morning of Wednesday, November 22, I smashed all 7 windows within reach at Pcf Insurance Services in Walnut Creek, CA. I also painted “Uncover Cop City” on the front of the building so they’d know why I came. Pcf is a subsidiary of Nationwide, which I learned from Nationwide’s own website at https://agency.nationwide.com/ . Nationwide is the insurance provider for Cop City, and they have thousands of locations like this all across the country, also listed at uncovercopcity.blackblogs.org. Without an insurance provider, Cop City can’t be built.

United States : Cop City-Affiliated Concrete Company Attacked In Raleigh, NC

Cop City-Affiliated Concrete Company Attacked In Raleigh, NC

On the night of November 19th, we snuck onto the Raleigh worksite of Thomas Concrete, one of several southeastern companies contracted to help build Cop City. We smashed the windos of their office, disabled a half dozen or so concrete trucks by cutting their tires’ valve stems, and left “Stop Cop City” and “For Tort” painted around the site.

Thomas Concrete has multiple offices and worksites throughout the Southeast. We encourage others to visit them day and night, in groups large and small. We also salute the recent attack on Ernst concrete trucks, and hope people keep the pressure up on Brasfield and Gorrie too!

Munich (Germany): another attack on a city construction site

Munich : another attack on a city construction site

At around 4 a.m. on Friday November 10, Munich firefighters arrived a little late at Johanneskirchen Straße. There, an excavator and a dump truck, located on the tramway construction site run by the municipal public transport company MVG (Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft), were burning up.

The two construction machines were destroyed, with the flames causing damage estimated at 300,000 euros. The fact that they were separated by several meters, leading investigators to suspect the existence of several sources of ignition, prompted the Munich Criminal Police and the State Protection Service (Staatsschutz) to take over the investigation.

Athens, Greece: Claim for molotov attack on OPKE

Athens, Claim for molotov attack on OPKE

50 years after the Polytechnic uprising, 15 years after December ’08, which erupted after the murder of the anarchist student Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the states and the capitalists have launched an attack of unprecedented intensity on the conquests won through blood and struggle. The intensity of the attack is experienced by the most impoverished sections of society who are subject to daily exploitation. The murders in the workplaces and work sites, at the borders, in prisons and police checkpoints are dubbed ‘industrial accidents’, ‘isolated incidents’, ‘shootings’ and occupy a single column in the margin of a newspaper. But they are clearly state and capitalist killings in an environment where our lives are devalued and expendable.

In a neoliberal environment where the bosses, whose sole criteria is to increase their profitability, aim the guns of the cops at the disposable, poor, outcasts and petty criminals. The forces of repression have always been the murderous assault battalions of bourgeois democracy.

Athens,Greece: THE CONSPIRACY OF REVENGE Taking Responsibility For The Attack On The House – Offices Of The Company ERGOMAR

 THE CONSPIRACY OF REVENGE : Taking Responsibility For The Attack On The House – Offices Of The Company ERGOMAR

 We take responsibility for the attack on the home – offices of the ERGOMAR company of the well-known businessman Dimitris Marinelis, at 12 Hous Street, in Kifissia.

The reason the attack was carried out is to target the corrupt role of construction companies. It is an open secret that the collegium of politicians and big bosses share state resources and European funds, thus misappropriating large sums of money at the expense of the Greek people.

For years now, with direct assignments to their minions, they manage and obtain huge sums of money – kickbacks with the well-known over-budgeting of projects and materials needed for their implementation. Construction companies are the ones responsible for many workplace accidents, as in order to make as much profit as possible they reduce the necessary safety measures for workers.

Athens,Greece: Taking Responsibility For The Confidential Attack On The Renault Dealership by Anarchists

Taking Responsibility For The Confidential Attack On The Renault Dealership

It was early morning on October 15, the sky was completely dark. Municipal election day. We waited for the voters and the cops to move into the neighbourhood. The streets were almost empty. We reached our goal. We looked at each other with that spark in our eyes. Everything was clean. Nothing was stopping us. A few seconds before the action we wondered if it was worth it, fear took hold, but it is worth it for all the reasons in the world. Determination, the burning heart takes the place of fear. It’s one of the few times you smile. We give the final OK. The person activates the incendiary device, places it under the car. He makes the signal. We walk away, each in turn, seeing that no one in the neighbourhood noticed what had happened. Minutes later, when we were away, in the safety of the dark of night, the device activated and reduced five cars to a flaming mess. If the neighbours hadn’t been woken up by the sound of the fire, the fire siren certainly did it.

The only thing that makes sense in this miserable world we live in is to try to destroy it thoroughly. To resist it in every possible way. This small action is a contribution to this resistance. It is also an invitation to other individuals and groups to participate. There are state and capitalist goals everywhere all we need is a well organized plan and to overcome our fears individually and collectively.

Around Castres (Tarn): Demonstration, fires, occupation (and eviction) against the freeway project (France)

Around Castres (Tarn): Demonstration, fires, occupation (and eviction) against the freeway project

via: attaque. Translated by Act for freedom now!

Excerpts from Reporterre / Saturday, October 21, 2023

[…] On October 21, on the outskirts of Saïx, in the Tarn countryside, over 10,500 people – 5,000 according to the prefect’s office – took part in the large-scale mobilization. The aim was to call for an immediate halt to work on the A69, a controversial motorway project linking Toulouse and Castres. […]

At around 1pm, not one, not two, but six separate processions formed at the base camp – one for each A69 “lie”. Small leaflets had been distributed beforehand detailing the missions of each of them. Once dispatched under the colorful banners, participants left the site along different routes.

The golden team then headed for the Pierre Fabre laboratory, the main defender of the disputed project. On the way, dozens of hooded people entered the site of the Bardou public works company – “involved in the project” according to the activists – tearing down the metal barriers protecting the site. A few rocks ended up flying into the windows of the building, whose immaculate walls were soon strewn with graffiti.

6 Cop City Concrete Trucks Set on Fire in Lawrenceville, Georgia (USA)

Make Contractors Afraid Again

On the night of November 13th we set fire to 6 Ernst Concrete trucks at 553 Seaboard Industrial Drive. Ernst is pouring the foundation for Cop City. This site, like so many others, is completely unguarded.

Front-pouring cement mixing trucks have large rear engine compartments which can be accessed without opening any doors. We placed incendiary devices and kindling near the engine block, the fuel tank behind it, and the double rear tires. We encourage further experimentation with incendiary placement.

Still nothing?! About the sabotage of a transformer. ( France)

Still nothing?! About the sabotage of a transformer.

At the beginning of November, a few days after the attack, we learned from the press that one of the site’s two technical buildings, with a surface area of 400 m2, had been seriously damaged. The newspaper reassured its readership, hastening to add that the fire had not caused any network breakdowns. We’re puzzled by these allegations. We have long been aware of the media’s propensity for disinformation. Concealment and falsifications of the facts are the result of commercial, police and political dictates.

These days, silencing or minimizing the extent of sabotage on electrical infrastructures is in fashion. Unfortunately, we can’t factually contradict their claims, and we can’t set the record straight on the consequences of these acts, because they are unknown to us.

Cars as Cameras: A short overview of Tesla surveillance features and lessons for attack 2023

Cars, especially newer vehicles with built-in computer systems, know everything about their users and, consequentially, the people around them. Tesla is taking this a step further, turning cars into mobile, high-definition video surveillance systems. […] What should anarchists take away from this? How can we continue to attack this panoptic hellscape and get away with it?

Unrest in Puente Alto on 4th Anniversary of the Revolt (Chile)

Unrest in Puente Alto on 4th Anniversary of the Revolt

October 21, 2023 / informativoanarquista

(received 10/19/2023 by email informativoanarquista@riseup.net)

4 years since the revolt that overtook the territorie with yearnings for transformation, we have witnessed power’s renewed ability to restructure and penetrate, introducing, once again, the false fash-lib dichotomy as the only political alternatives, denying our own ability to organize ourselves.

In the suburbs, we always warned that the only thing that the so-called “pact for peace” and the constitutional discussion would guarantee was the continuity of the neoliberal model that was imposed in 73 by yankee imperialism, and that neither Boric nor the united front nor the PC wanted to really change the order of the rich, since they always benefited from it.
