At the beginning of June, the trial for criminal association against 7 people was held in Bar le Duc. A trial against opponents of the nuclear waste burial project in Bure, Meuse. For the State, the stakes are clear: to try to crush at all costs any resistance to the Bure nuclear waste project, one of the missing links in the French and European nuclear chain.
Sold as a clean energy, nuclear power is in fact the opposite. From uranium mining to waste burial, everything is a social and ecological disaster. Just like what the digitalized society promises us. This will require us to produce more and more electrical energy, a growing demand for the future that will have to be met by nuclear power. The geopolitical stakes of digital technology are reminiscent of those that were raised for nuclear power, regardless of the massive refusal they encounter, the damage or the risks, the State has launched its absurd race.
Even if the smoke has cleared a little after the attack on Rigaer 94, this does not mean that the struggles for affordable and decent housing in Berlin and elsewhere have stopped. Every year, many other tenants fear anew for their flat and thus for their centre of life. The prospects of finding a halfway affordable flat in this city tend towards zero for most people with an average salary.
The death of Peter Hollinger on 31 May 2021 shows that this fear can also have deadly consequences. After a three-year, unsuccessful court case against an eviction action due to owner-occupancy, the 67-year-old musician and long-established Kreuzberger killed himself. This is not the first death in connection with evictions. It is also worth remembering the death of Rosemarie F. who died two days after her eviction in a Berlin homeless shelter. In both cases, it was clear in the run-up to the eviction what immense pressure and psychological stress the people concerned had been subjected to and in both cases, from a medical point of view, an eviction was urgently advised against. The fatal consequence was accepted in favour of a property issue.
Last night, over 100 tires on large SUVs were deflated in solidarity with recent actions by the Climate Liberation Front. From Portland to Arlington, we see ya.
An awl through the sidewall is quick and quiet.
It was hot as fuck during the day, over 110 degrees, so we took full advantage of the night. The city would never even get this hot if not for the gases these SUVs emit into the atmosphere, and the miles of dark, heat-absorbing asphalt that have been put down for them to drive on.
In response to the Portland Police murder of Michael Ray Townsend on June 24, a parking lot containing multiple Portland Police Bureau squad cars was attacked. A hole was cut into the surrounding barbed wire fence, and a dozen vehicles were hit. All cars had their windows, windshields, lights and mirrors smashed, and abolitionists / anarchists messages were painted across their exteriors. A fire extinguisher filled with paint was used to completely cover multiple squad cars, as well as their interiors.
Everyday the pigs turn our public spaces into open air prisons. We call on all abolitionists to take the defunding and disarming of the pigs into their own hands.
In a few days the cops will try to enforce an inspection of Rigaer Straße 94 in Friedrichshain by the so-called “owner” of the house and a fire safety expert. From the planned lockdown and siege of the neighbourhood it is obvious that the house project is seriously threatened again.
That’s why we sent solidarity and militant greetings on the night of Tuesday, 15.06, to all companions who keep their heads up and oppose the repression. Shards in front of the “Qintus Ingenieurhaus” in Max-Brauer-Allee 62-64 testify to the hatred that unites us against all those who profit from the city of the rich. Greetings to Rigaer94 were also left on site.
On June 5th there will be a nationwide anti-motorway-actionday. this starting shot against the car-capitalist madness was the reason for us to set fire to a vehicle of strabag on Monday night.
No people were endangered, no other cars were damaged and above all the attack was not directed against the driver of the company car.
As a group of people who have a political perception and hate the cops, we decided on our own initiative to attack the Matzides (riot cops) of Xenia Square, using fireworks, stones, etc. as solidarity with the occupation of Rigaer94 and as a response to the deliberate patriarchal cop control of Xenia Square.
We destroyed a Still company van with fire during the eviction of Tiefe Straße 3 in East Leipzig. This was our attempt to support #leipzigbesetzen and to answer the attack of the pigs on their creation of collective housing. The van is definitely a complete loss, even if the otherwise sensationalist press has reported little about it.
Still is the supplier of many forest clearcuts, which is why it made sense as a target. Solidarity with Moni, Danni and all other environmental campaigners.
In the night from 08.06. to 09.06., we set fire to a wheel loader and a power distribution box on the construction site in Braunschweiger Straße 21. The driver’s cab of the wheel loader burned out completely, the power distribution box was damaged so significantly that it is no longer functional. After the Edeka was demolished, the vacant site there was occupied by a neighborhood initiative in 2019 and transformed into a beautiful place to gather and network.
But after only two months, the newly created neighborhood garden was destroyed by construction workers and security guards, the area was cleared and thus another uncommercial and social meeting place was razed to the ground. Instead, the construction of a fortress of unaffordable micro-apartments/luxury apartments is now planned there, which will significantly advance gentrification in the neighborhood.
While during these days people from Rigaer 94 in Berlin are fighting for their self-determined spaces and comrades defend themselves against Red Zones, we are focusing on the surveillance apparatus as a mark of our solidarity.
In the early morning hours of June 21, we attacked the company Eurocommand in Hamburg Halstenbek with stones.
Eurocommand develops surveillance software, among other things. One of their programs was already used in 2017 at the G20 to coordinate the cops’ operations.
I’m not lying in saying that almost every day for a quarter of a century now I remember you as if it were yesterday. Someone might doubt this statement, but I don’t care because, surely, that person did not know this comrade; and even less do they know me (or my innermost feelings). I hate “ephemeris”, but (on this occasion …) it is impossible for me to avoid writing these words. Your gun jammed and they shot you in the chest. They shot you again, in the back. You, precisely, who wrote in your poems that you were not going to attack them from behind. We, anarchists, are like that: we face them knowing that we have everything to lose, but we throw ourselves into the unequal battle anyway, like David against Goliath. Your memory and your courage, comrade, continue to illuminate our struggle…
I was a little younger than you in the mid-90s … A bunch of teenage punks were circling around you when we met at anarchist initiatives.
This is what I want to talk about: life stories that, to this day, I have never shared with anyone. These were things that only sprung up between us, Sergio. Forgive me if I open my sorrowful soul and share them: if I don’t do it now, maybe I never will. And never is too much. There is no doubt about your intuitive insurrectionism. You didn’t have to read “Alfredo”, because informality flowed through your veins, contagiously. And many of us got involved – with no return – in permanent revolt, which (in the 21st century) is far from over. On the contrary, it grows and bears fruit in every insurrectional action!
In our thoughts we were with the brave fighters of the autonomous zone Rigaer Straße when we set a fire at the Haus des Jugendrechts (House of Juvenile Justice, an institution where representatives of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the police, the judicial assistance to youth and the City work together to repress and prevent “juvenile delinquency”) last night.
Our solidarity will always be with the people who do not give up without a fight. Red Zones take whole neighborhoods under captivity and are one of the most effective means of counterinsurgency. The House of Juvenile Justice in Reudnitz, Leipzig is also an actor for the pacification of rebellious individuals, especially “juvenile intensive offenders” like us. In here, cops and prosecutors work hand in hand. That’s why we thought it was a good sign of solidarity to set fire to several tires and the door in front of the House of Juvenile Justice.
In the early hours of 16th of june we burned a car from the german company Würth in Zografou, Kolokotroni str. This attack is dedicated to the fighting squat Rigaer94 in Berlin and to the social revolution in North Syria (west Kurdistan).
Rigaer94 is expecting an attack of police and municipality, who will help the so called „owner“ to destroy the community in order to clear the city from an anarchist space.
Rojava, the big experiment for a stateless peaceful feminist society is getting attacked in the mountains of south kurdistan (iraq) by the Turkish army.
In this season of evictions, the Toulousan night of this Monday was even more starry after the blows of a window-breaker hammer against that of a bailiff’s office and an estate agency that had the bad luck of being next door.
