Le Parisien / Monday, March 7, 2022
——–
The Russian House of Science and Culture, a cultural entity considered close to the Russian power of Vladimir Putin, was the target of Molotov cocktail, “an incendiary device”, says a source close to the case. The act took place Sunday night, at 2:45 am.
One or more individuals aimed at the signs and the gate of the entrance of the center, located at 61, rue Boissière (XVIe), in the Victor-Hugo district, a kind of beautiful private mansion, with diplomatic status.

AGAINST SPECIESISM, CIVILISATION AND THE REIGN OF IDEAS
“There are paths that can be followed, and there is a path that cannot – it is not a path, it is the wilderness.”
Call for submissions for a new publishing project:
At the forefront of this call is a wish to deepen the conversation between anti-spe and anti-civ anarchists. Whereas these currents are normally kept separate, this doesn’t resonate with us at all – we want to better understand their shared potential. We also want to explore more deeply the topic which, for lack of a better term, might be described as “nihilism”, along with the critiques of ideology, rationalism and in general the civilised obsession with surrendering our lives to daydreams.

Moscow Anarchist Black Cross updates, March 2022

War in Ukraine has already increased the level of repressions in Russia, but there are not yet any new criminal proceedings against anarchist or anti-fascist activists. In this new exceptional situation, we are channeling some of our resources to humanitarian needs which go beyond our usual narrow focus of supporting repressed anarchists and anti-fascists.
In picture: action of Left Bloc activists against FSB.
Plenty have been arrested in demonstrations and fined, or slapped with an immediate 15 day prison sentence. More serious charges may be pressed anytime soon. But until then, we are following up on anarchists and anti-fascists who have already been facing repression before the war.
But the good news first.
Chelyabinsk anarchists released
This is already old news, but on 24th of November the court of appeal revoked the sentence of two Chelyabinsk anarchists, Anastasia Safonova and Dmitry Tsibukovski, who were given prison sentences of 2 and 2.5 years respectively for ”hooliganism”, after they hung a banner with the text ”FSB is the main terrorist”. Their criminal case was returned to the local court, so a new sentence is possible. It is extremely unusual that political sentences in Russia are overturned through an appeal. Until the new process, Safonova and Tsibukovski are under several restrictions.

EN/ES/IT/DE/,HMP Bristol UK: Statement from G Wing Prisoners Committee against Racist screw Senior Officer (SO) Dawes.

Statement Against Racist Staff Culture at HMP Bristol
Prisoners have set up a Prisoners Committee on G Wing HMP Bristol in order to empower inmates, exchange experiences, and to show support and solidarity with each other as they try to confront abuses by the rotten staff culture at Bristol’s inner-city prison. Despite the diverse ethnic make-up of Bristol City itself, staff at HMP Bristol are disproportionately white and are either ignorant of, disrespectful of or actively antagonistic towards the people of colour in their care. The following statement was written by the mixed ethnicity Prisoners Committee on G Wing. The reference to “Asian brothers” is a term of
friendship rather than familial.
HMP Bristol UK – Statement from G Wing Prisoners Committee against Racist screw Senior Officer (SO) Dawes.
On February 22nd, the Asian brothers from Landing 2 wanted to go out to the yard for exercise with Landings 3 and 4, and asked SO Dawes (BL0461) if they could also go outside. SO Dawes took a belligerent approach towards them, saying they could (we are all on 22 hour bang-up), but “if anything happened they would get a Negative.” This means they could lose
their jobs and ability to leave their cells, attend activities etc. One
of the Asian brothers wanted to go to the gym and then get some fresh air on the yard, but he was refused even though this is frequently allowed. The Asian brothers went to the yard and during that mere hour outside, a parcel was thrown over the wall onto the yard. Straightaway SO Dawes started staring in a hostile way at the Asian brothers, even though they didn’t take the parcel and were nowhere near it.

London,UK: Attack on Automated Supermarket

Attack on Automated Supermarket
From the first moment automation has never been ‘labour saving’. As the machines are faster, more efficient, more automatic, ‘smarter’, we are simply forced to work at the increased speed and intensity the machine is now capable of.
The first fully ‘automated supermarkets’ have begun appearing in the UK. Like many other invasions of the urban landscape, which in London particularly is already a fortress under constant surveillance, they are greeted with further indifference. Constant crisis has a wearying effect, every further incursion has a ready-made justification, for further ‘efficiencies’, ‘monitoring’, for a ‘smarter city’.

EN/ES/IT/DE: Solidarity with Toby Shone in the face of threats from Fascist Screw SO Steven Sollars (UK)

Solidarity with Toby Shone in the face of threats from Fascist Screw SO Steven Sollars Imprisoned anarchist Toby Shone has refused to attend any more workshops run by right-wing Senior Officer Steven Sollars at HMP Bristol due to the constant provocations, insults, denigration and threats. He was confined to his cell for 23 hours a day for two weeks following his refusal.
Ex-military and a screw at Bristol prison for the last 11 years, SO Steve Sollars is well known amongst prisoners as a politically motivated bully and bigot. He boasted to prisoners that he was part of a counter-protest that “protected” the cenotaph in June 2020 during the Black Lives Matter protests in Bristol. He gloated about the long sentences given to Kill the Bill protestors, particularly Ryan Roberts.
He publically fantasised about re-introducing chain gangs, saying that he would shoot prisoners in the face with a shotgun if they rebelled.
Sollars threatened to kill Toby and blame it on another prisoner. He made derogatory remarks about Irish rebels in the run up to the Bloody

Paris: The enemy is here

Paris: The enemy is here
Our enemies are not the other exploited but the bosses and the state. We reject all nationalist and Common Front appeals, even if we recognize the horror of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But Putin did not become a dictator on February 24 because the Western media and leaders condemned him. The dictatorship has always been there, Russia and its vassal Belarus have always been police states. It was enough to look at things and not do anything. The brutal repression of all popular demands, opponents murdered, tortured and imprisoned…
We think of our anarchist comrades, like Ilya Romanov who spent long years in jail or the two young Russian companions recently sentenced to several years in jail for dynamiting a political police station – in a video game! We also think of the 2020 revolt in Belarus, when the inhabitants of this country wanted to overthrow the dictator Lukashenko. Dozens of people were killed by the police, hundreds tortured, thousands imprisoned to the indifference of Europe. While they wanted to have the upper hand in the geostrategic games, the Western governments never condemned the Russian police state which on the contrary has always been an important economic partner. Société Générale, Total, Engie, Renault, the Auchan group… it is also with French money that Putin’s dictatorship has prospered, it is with this money that the army that today massacres civilians and threatens nuclear disasters has been financed.

Hambach forest,Germany : sabotage of engines in sand quarry

In the Kieswasche Buir antenna of the Rheinische Baustoffwerke, 6 or 7 working engines (digger excavator and others types) had their windows smashed, cables and pipes cut and some messages against concrete and it’s devastating role in the growing of civilization, and for anarchism have been left.
Indeed, their gravel and sand are used for concrete and other building materials but they also propose their services to other enterprises to get rid of their mineral waste. The link with the RWE coal mine next to the forest is more than possible. Plus, this antenna have been built by destroying living places of all kind of species.
All of them, reasons to attack !
End civilization, for anarchism
