Spain: V Encuentro Contra el Sistema Tecno Industrial y su Mundo. 27,28 y 29 de mayo. Madrid / V Meeting Against the Techno Industrial System and its World. May 27,28 and 29. Madrid

V ANARCHIST MEETING AGAINST THE TECHNO-INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM AND ITS WORLD

During the 27th, 28th and 29th of May will take place the “V Anarchist Meeting against the Technoindustrial System and its world”. A place where we can meet, get to know each other, debate, spread and sharpen our ideas against the technical organization of the world. We intend the meeting to be one more tool to fight the techno-scientific-industrial system, because we think that the field of confrontation should be concentrated in the field of technological progress, since it is and will be what will trace the present and future dynamics of domination over each and every one of the aspects of our lives: social, political, economic and environmental. During the duration of the conference there will be a space for distributors (those who want to set up a distributor in the space are kindly requested to confirm their presence in advance) and 100% vegetarian canteens. In the coming days we will disseminate the full program of the meeting, which this year will be held at PVA Sputnik (C / Gonzalez soto, 21, Vallecas, Madrid).

Historically, the systems of domination have taken advantage of moments of crisis or catastrophe to transform the world, to carry out a metamorphosis of it. In other times this metamorphosis was carried out when capitalism was threatened by the advance of the class struggle or by the need for economic and productive changes to maximize profits. In our time we see how technocracy takes advantage of emergencies, be they energetic, sanitary, economic, climatic… to accelerate the techno-totalitarianism that the machine-world implies. A new “great transformation” is underway, driven by the techno-financial elites, a Great Reset. Restarting life in all its dimensions to impose a new way of life and a new world under the imperatives of the 4th Industrial Revolution, that is, restarting life to submit it to the machine-world that seeks to optimize the human being and all living things to turn them into just another cog in the machine-world. Once nature has been artificialized and controlled, the objective now is the human being. Continue reading Spain: V Encuentro Contra el Sistema Tecno Industrial y su Mundo. 27,28 y 29 de mayo.

JOIN US IN THE HAMBACHER FOREST FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION! 21-24 of July 2022

FOREST ANTI-SPE DAYS #3
CHAOS AND RAGE, SMASH EVERY CAGE
BORDERLESS CALL:
JOIN US IN THE HAMBACHER FOREST FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION!
In the factory farms and vivisection labs, our nonhuman comrades are already fighting back. The time is ripe – let’s share skills and
perspectives on how to support their resistance! By “anti-speciesism” we don’t mean online activism, vegan capitalism or cop-hugging pacifism – we’re opening a space to plot against human supremacism, and we’ve no need for bureaucratic organizations of any kind.
Many animal rights groups have become a hotbed for
fascist/homophobic/cissexist/macho/white supremacist/colonialist views and behaviour. Others promote liberalism, the state or single out human activists as animal “saviours”. We want to build on two years of anti-spe days explicitly pushing against these tendencies,
uncompromising in our rejection of all forms of oppression and
domestication. Let’s meet each other and make some trouble!
You can find us again in the Hambacher Forest, one of Europe’s largest autonomous spaces, still squatted after almost 10 years. (It’s a forest so be ready to camp).
We want the workshops to be more horizontal this year – you can help us by proposing your own! Some ideas we have so far:

New electrical sabotage: Inovallée targeted in turn?
Le Dauphiné, April 14, 2022

After the large high-tech companies of the Crolles basin last week, it is most probably Inovallée, the main technology park of the Grenoble region, which was the target, on Wednesday, of a new sabotage action carried out on an electrical installation. A destructive action which, according to our information, is not in doubt, the public prosecutor of Grenoble having moreover, two hours after the facts, confirmed to the Dauphiné Libéré that the hypothesis of a “criminal act” was privileged. The fire broke out at about 3:30 pm in the enclosure of a high voltage source station of Enedis located at 19, chemin du Vieux-Chêne in Meylan. This installation is located between company buildings and the A41 motorway, in the heart of a technology park with around 380 companies working in the field of digital technologies.

Lacroix-Falgarde. The burned antenna must be completely rebuilt

La Dépêche, April 22, 2022

On the night of Friday 25 to 26 February, the telecommunications tower overlooking Lacroix-Falgarde was destroyed by a fire of criminal origin, rendering the 4G/5G antennas of Bouygues, Free and SFR and those of TDF for TV unusable.

In mid-March, temporary repair work began with the installation of new antennas on the burnt out tower. Today, the antenna’s supporting structure is too damaged for the equipment initially installed to be restored to its original state. For example the TV service cannot be reinstalled. In order to regain full functionality, a new antenna has to be rebuilt in order to be able to re-equip it properly.

Moscow region

Fire against the military enlistment Office

During the night a man set the local office of military enlistment on fire in Lukhovitsy, Moscow region. Here is his declaration:

The other day I set the military register and enlistment office on fire in Lukhovitsy, Moscow region, and filmed it on GoPro. I painted the gates with the colours of the Ukrainian flag and wrote: “I won’t go to kill my brothers!”; then I climbed the fence, poured petrol at the entrance, destroyed the windows and threw molotov bottles inside. The aim was to destroy the archive with conscripts’ personal data, which was in the office. This should prevent mobilization in the district. I hope I won’t see my conscripts in jail or on death lists. Continue reading Moscow, Russia – Military enlistment Office set on fire →

Poster : I don’t vote

A4 color poster, found on Indymedia Lille, March 10, 2022

I don’t vote

I don’t vote. Because I don’t want to choose a master, to choose the one who will decide for me what is good for me, and will force me to respect his choices, which he will pass off as my own. I don’t want the majority to determine my servitude, for the cattle to build the fences that enclose them and appoint those who will rule me too, no matter what I think.

I don’t vote because I don’t want the world they impose on me, I don’t recognize the idea of nation, of a people, of citizenship, considering that the States always manage to fabricate identities that give the illusion of a unity in a population. Continue reading Poster : I don’t vote (France) →

Messina, Sicily – Protest against Mattarella [president of the Italian republic]

Mattarella guarantor of rearmament

NOT IN OUR NAME

On 13th April a celebration for the 50 years of Gazzetta del Sud, where the president of the republic was present, was met with protests in Messina.

After a meeting against war in Piazza Municipio we moved closer to the Teatro Vittorio Emanuele at the start of the celebration, in spite of the fact that the city centre was militarized and the streets adjacent to the theatre were blocked for Mattarella’s arrival.

We tried to oppose this circus of power by unfurling a banner, shouting chants against rearmament and military bases, which are everywhere on the island, and improvising a cacerolazo with pans, bowls and spoons. Police seized the banner and broke the microphone used for speeches after about ten minutes. Continue reading Messina, Sicily – Protest against Mattarella [president of the Italian republic] →

Crolles/Bernin (Isère): no immediate return to normal

ST-Microelectronics semiconductor manufacturing unit

[Following the double sabotage on the nights of April 4 and 5 against high-voltage lines, which temporarily shut down the ST-Micro and Soitec semiconductor plants, it seems that the return to normal is not so simple. Here’s a look at some of the articles from the business press].

Grenoble’s Silicon Valley back on line after a fire on its power lines
La Tribune Auvergne-Rhône Alpes, April 6, 2022 (excerpt)

The power outage, caused by a fire on several high-voltage lines that passed over the Brignoud bridge (Isère) on Monday night, was both unprecedented and particularly impactful for the Grésivaudan basin, an area near Grenoble that is home to several major microelectronics companies such as STMicroelectronics and Soitec.

Arson of several electric lines in Isère: the hypothesis of a new sabotage
Le Dauphiné/France bleu, 5 April 2022
This Tuesday, April 5, 2022, at 1:44 am, a fire of electric cables under the bridge of Brignoud which spans the Isère between Villard-Bonnot and Crolles was declared. Eight 20,000 volt lines and one 225,000 volt line caught fire. A security perimeter has been set up to prevent any risk to the population or the environment. Security services are on site. The fire was completely extinguished during the day.
The fire is reminiscent of the one that affected the ST Micro company in Crolles on Monday, April 4. The link between the two events has been made, announced Eric Vaillant, the Grenoble prosecutor. The research section of the gendarmerie has been informed. This Tuesday morning, smoke was still coming out of the burned cables, the Brignoud bridge being closed to traffic. The gendarmerie has cordoned off the whole area and forbidden access to the bridge, with major traffic jams being recorded in the whole sector.

Froges (Isère): cut the juice to the producer of electronic chips

Fire in Froges on a site of RTE: the company ST Micro targeted, the ultra-left suspected
Le Dauphiné, April 4, 2022
The hypothesis for an act committed by activists of the ultra-left is favored by the investigators of the gendarmerie, learned the Dauphiné Libéré this Monday near the public prosecutor’s office of Grenoble after the destruction by fire committed in the enclosure of a transformer site of RTE (Réseau de transport d’électricité) in Froges.
As we revealed this Monday morning, this site was targeted in the night of Sunday to Monday by incendiaries: unknown people managed to enter the premises and to spread the fire to cables on a transformer. The damage would be important on this site but would not impact the distribution of electricity in the sector at the moment.
Inscriptions including the symbol of anarchy were found, targeting the ST Microelectronics company based in Crolles, accused by these same tags of being an excessive consumer of electricity. According to the public prosecutor’s office, the power supply to the ST Micro site was not significantly disrupted by this action. The research brigade of the Meylan company has been assigned to the investigation.

Greetings outside the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere

Italy – Greetings outside the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere
via: infernourbano
Translated by act for freedom now!
———————–
10th of April ,Last Sunday a few dozen trans-feminists in solidarity went to give greetings to those locked up in the prison of Santa Maria Capua Vetere on the second anniversary of the 6th April 2020 “massacre of the holy week”. Shouts from inside were already rising as we were reaching the spot as near to the windows as possible. Many prisoners looked out of the windows, asking for help and demanding freedom; many shouted about lack of water and inedible food, besides the awful unbearable conditions of life inside. Attempts at talking with them were almost immediately hampered by the prison police’s sirens intended to prevent communication and intimidate the people there in solidarity. From inside some started shouting that we should go, warning us that guards were coming.

June 11, 2022 International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

https://june11.noblogs.org/files/2019/06/fighters.jpg
[En Español]
[Français]
As time moves on and the seasons change, we approach once again the June 11th International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. Another year has passed, and many of our dear comrades remain captives of the state, subject to its daily subjugation, isolation, and brutality. June 11th is a time to stop the ever-quickening rush of our lives and remember.
Remember our imprisoned comrades. Remember our own histories of revolt. Remember the flame – sometimes flickering, sometimes blazing – of anarchism.
WE ARE ALL POTENTIAL PRISONERS
With June 11th, we desire to deepen a critique of prison that challenges the distinction between prisoner and supporter. For us, these differences are conditional: we, as anarchists, see ourselves as potential prisoners. Some of us have been, some of us will be. This is the basis of our solidarity – a recognition of ourselves in the plight of those in prison.

Bristol, UK: Anarchist comrade Toby Shone’s SCPO was rejected by the court!

To the wild celebrations in the public gallery, the presiding judge rejected the application for anarchist comrade Toby Shone’s Serious Crime Prevention Order, declaring there were no grounds for it to be applied under the circumstances. Shouts of ‘Not one step back!’ were responded to with Toby shouting ‘The Revolution is inevitable!’

The result of the court means that comrade Toby will now be released at the earliest in August of this year, if his application for electronic tag is permitted. It is highly likely that it will be refused. If refused, he will be released on December 28th 2022 on automatic halfway release. The extreme conditions of surveillance and control, that would have led to him not only being cut off from his comrades, but his family, friends and partner. It would have restricted his way of living, his ability to fuction as an anarchist, with many conditions that have been listed before, such as his use of electronic devices through to him having to declare who visits his residence. It would have lasted 5 years and could have been renewed. If it had been broken by Toby it would have led to him serving 5 years in the hellholes of the UK prison system.
