Claim for action in Mexico
On Sunday, August 4 2024 we detonated a bomb made from dynamite, powder and butane gas in the facilities of the so-called “Tower of Well-being” in Mexico City. We have decided to act faced with the capitalist devastation which imposes itself, WE WILL NOT GIVE IN. They can’t offer us any “handout”, we will continue to act. Until the end. We don’t want their civilizational depredation we want to be wild; to join with nature.
“Bauer AG” drilling crane set on fire for its participation in THE LINE
Bauer AG is a highly specialized civil engineering company which, through its involvement in gigantic infrastructure and construction projects all over the world, is complicit in the destruction of habitats and the expulsion of their inhabitants. The advance of Bauer AG’s drills and diggers into the most remote parts of the planet never bodes well, and often heralds the end of the diversity of flora and fauna in favor of a gray misery of steel and concrete.
“What we do today determines what tomorrow’s world will look like”.
This seemingly innocuous statement by the CEO of Bauer AG represents a serious threat to everything that doesn’t fit in with the Western idea of progress, or doesn’t want to submit to it. For wherever the much-vaunted conquests of civilization extend, there always arises a colonial mentality that wants to quantify every living thing in terms of its utility, and is obsessed with the will to dominate and control the wild and the unpredictable. But it doesn’t always go unanswered. Recently in Canada, the staunch opposition of the Wet’suwet’en nation to the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which once again crosses their territory, has drawn attention to Bauer AG’s involvement in this crime. But Bauer AG is not interested in any of that. It prides itself on being responsible and sustainable, reducing its environmental impact and carbon footprint through innovative solutions and digitalization.

After a long period of house arrest for the final sentence linked to the “Renata” operation – for which Agnese, Rupert, Poza and Nico are still doing their sentence – from today Sasha is finally free!

Beating on cell bars in solidarity
May 4th, from 8.15pm to 9pm I did a battitura [beating metal object on cell bars] in solidarity with the comrades arrested during the night between 3rd and 4th May in Genoa and imprisoned in the jails of Marassi and Pontedecimo.
Today is the anniversary of Bobby Sands’ death in 1981, the Irish revolutionary who taught dignity in the prison struggle. It is right that this anniversary be remembered.
I also dedicated this small gesture to all the comrades struck by the repression these past few weeks concerning the solidarity carried out in the streets during the mobilisation for Alfredo Cospito and against 41-bis. To you my fraternal greetings with clenched fist!

They go through the roof to escape : ten people escape in the middle of the night from administrative Detention Centre Midi Libre/France3, 11th May 2024
A large-scale escape took place during the night of Friday 10th to Saturday 11th May, at the Administrative Detention Centre (CRA) of Sète. In fact, ten people managed to escape from the surveillance of the border police, the authority that handles this establishment situated at 15 quai Maillol, and then took advantage of the night to escape at around 2.30am. A significant event for this small centre, which has only 28 places.
According to a police source, in order to escape individuals pulled the vent from one of the rooms to access the attic. Once in the attic, they lifted up the tiles and jumped on to the roof to go down into the street below.

OUR ONLY HOMELAND IS REVOLT
AUTHORITY HAS EVERYONE IN A VICE GRIP.Dealing out crumbs through humiliating charity and robotised slavery. With nothing to guarantee any more, the technicians in power promise only crisis and emergency – and soon war. In the guise of defence against the rabid attacks in recent weeks they have enhanced their arsenal of social control against all of us.
MEANWHILE RACIST ATTACKS TAKE PLACE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. The perpetrators target ‘immigrants’ (or whoever they classify as such) with abuse, chemical dousing, threats, beatings, fire and bricks. This is the worst kind of cowardice: kneeling in front of bosses and leaders, but leaping up to strike at anyone they fear coming from below them. Without a doubt masses of angry citizens join behind them, perhaps more hesitant to act, but no less lobotomised by fear of the outsider.

Here, in Palestine, in Israel, everywhere
Against borders, states, homelands, armies
War is everywhere. Without ever having been absent from the capitalist world, the world of homelands, armies and borders. It has always been present, except that nowadays every “war episode” tends to acquire global dimensions with different levels of transnational involvement: from the war in Palestine, Ukraine, Yemen, to the “tension zones” that presage a future conflict (e.g. Taiwan, Guyana, Red Sea, etc.), the world map seems to be shaped by a continuous geography of war “fronts” and “rears”.
And war takes many forms: from the famous trade sanctions that create “inflationary phenomena” in primitive societies and “food crises” in the capitalist periphery, to the Western States’ war on immigrants, the military-style management of “states of emergency” (be it viruses or floods, fires, etc.), the management of social policy in police terms. What the rulers cynically call “era fluidity” is on the one hand the other name for systemic contradictions reaching a limit point and on the other, it is a clear statement to subjects: in “fluid times” our lives are sadly expendable and survival is defined in terms of probability, risk, risk. And whoever lives through it… Then comes the famous “love of country”, the need for “national unity”, to form a “national body” in danger, with the State and the army defined as its “natural protectors”.

The final day of the trial in the “We are conspiring” case took place on July 15. According to the prosecution, during the night of February 16, 2023, the accused wanted to set fire to the German railway company’s cables. The prosecution pleaded acquittal at the end of its closing arguments, citing lack of evidence. The lawyers also pleaded for acquittal, which the judge, after 15 minutes’ consideration, pronounced!
Here’s the statement the two defendants read together after the lawyers’ closing arguments:
We were arrested 17 months ago. We sat isolated from each other for a day and a half in the detention center on Tempelhofer Damm (Berlin) and were brought before a custodial judge. We then had to report to a cop station around 85 times and scribble our signatures on a piece of paper to prove that we had not yet evaded trial. Our DNA was taken and run through databases. For a total of 15 days, we were being surveilled by the secret police in our daily lives, with our friends and comrades, and had our home entrances filmed. For a few days now, we sat in front of this court where our guilt is being tried.

While the SNCF is just beginning to recover from the sabotage against the high-speed train network, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games don’t seem to be at the end of their troubles, as a new “massive sabotage” occurred on Sunday night (July 29), this time striking the long-distance fiber optic network (the backbone).
Between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., the digital highways of the fiber-optic network were deliberately cut in at least ten départements (Ain, Aude, Ardèche, Drôme, Hérault, Bouches-du-Rhône, Oise, Marne, Meuse, Vaucluse), with far-reaching consequences, since the section of these cables in the long-distance network of infrastructure operator SFR affected many other telecoms operators. These include Free, Bouygues, Orange (telecoms provider for the Paris 2024 Olympics), TDF, OVH, SFR, Netalis, Axione, as well as Vodafone, British telecom and Colt (British operator serving 28 European countries).
By Tuesday July 30, the official estimate was that 195 cell towers had been affected by sabotage, and at least 17 departments had experienced problems ranging from internet outages to higher-than-usual latency (including Oise, Bouches-du-Rhône, Meuse, Drôme, Aude, Hérault, Seine-et-Marne, Essonne, Ain, Allier, Vendée, Ardèche, Loire, Creuse and Lot-et-Garonne). And to illustrate what high latency means, i.e. a severe slowdown in the Internet connection, a geek posted on a specialized site the route taken by his data packets: “To do Lyon (Orange network) <> Roubaix (OVH data center), the data goes: Lyon → Marseille → Singapore → Canada → London → Roubaix”…
