France: Claim of sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Claim of sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

They call it a celebration? We see it as a celebration of nationalism, a gigantic staging of the subjugation of populations by states.

Underneath their friendly, playful guise, the Olympic Games provide a testing ground for police crowd management and the generalized control of our movements.

Like all major sporting events, they are also an opportunity to worship the values that underpin the world of power and money, generalized competition, performance at all costs, sacrifice for the sake of national interest and glory.

The call to identify with an imaginary community and to support the side to which one supposedly belongs is no less harmful than the permanent incitement to see one’s salvation in the health of one’s national economy and the strength of one’s national army.

During the night of May 30 to 31, a major cable in the Orange network in the Ardèche region was damaged by an act of vandalism, when wires were severed, causing a major internet outage for ADSL and fiber. The same applies to the telephone network, including copper. All communes in the cantons of Privas and Le Pouzin were totally or partially affected. “The areas of Privas, Alissas, Cruas, Rochemaure, Meysse and Le Teil were also affected”, said Orange.

High-voltage cables set on fire: ultra-left suspected

Le Dauphiné, June 27, 2024

A new electrical sabotage attack took place overnight in the Grenoble area on Monday night, as Le Dauphiné Libéré learned from corroborating sources on Wednesday morning: in the commune of Noyarey, 20,000 volt electrical cables were set on fire along the RD 1532, the incident apparently only being discovered late on Tuesday afternoon. During the night of June 12-13, two 20,000-volt power transformers were set on fire on avenue du Grand Sablons in La Tronche and avenue de l’Europe in Grenoble, leaving 2,000 homes and businesses without power.

In Noyarey, the perpetrators of this latest attack targeted easily accessible cables that cross a small stream, the Ruisset (or Gélinot stream), at the level of a small bridge over the RD 1532. The fire caused extensive damage to these cables, but it seems that there were no major power cuts in the neighborhood, either to homes or to neighboring businesses, which would explain why the fire was only discovered on Tuesday afternoon.

July 10,2024 / informativoanarquista Translated by Act for freedom now!

Yesterday, on this same site, we made a roundup  of the repressive events that took place at dawn on July 6 in the context of the commemoration of the death of comrade Luisa Toledo. Now, we’re adding information relating to the attempted explosive attacks and updating the news regarding legal status. The situation is as follows:

-Today (July 9) the Court of Appeals accepted the petition of the Southern Prosecutor’s Office and determined pre-trial prison for the 9 comrades whose detentions had at first been declared illegal by the 6th Guarantee Court. These comrades were processed by the Law of Arms Control in flagrante delicto: Daniel Yáñez Seguel, Ismael Almonacid Sánchez, Tomás Montenegro Astudillo, Ricardo Alvarado García, Patricio Araya Muñoz, René Camacho Cáceres, Marcelo Ahumada Jiménez, Roberto Ocampo Binder, and Sebastián Moncada Román.

-The comrade (companera )whose lawyer had proposed a bond of 1 million pesos also remained in pre-trial prison, and the bail was rejected today. Milán Miranda is being processed for possession of an explosive device and possession of explosives, after they found a homemade grenade with black powder and industrial explosive material in his house.

-José Araya Vidal, the comrade who suffered a fracture in a motorcycle accident during the operation and was later hospitalized also remains in pre-trial prison and is set apart as the only one accused of planting explosive devices.

Every Heart is a Timembomb – Screening and Discussion

Tuesday 6th August 7PM
Touchpaper Anarchist Library SE145HD

Rote Zora was a women’s armed struggle group agitating in Germany in the 1970s through to the 1990s. The group originated as a feminist breakaway from the Revolutionary Cells, inspiring an entire generation to fight against patriarchy in all its expressions: (gene) technology, medical, domestic and systemic violence, rape culture, religious power, the medical industry, the war industry – exploitation and oppression at work, in the streets, and at home.

With glue, spraypaint, arson, poetry and bombs, they fought against the old world they lived in, with a burning desire for a new world without oppression, exploitation or war. Together, we will watch the documentary “Frauen bildet Banden!” (women, form gangs!) from 2019, made by FrauenLesbenFilmCollectif Las Otras, in which a number of Rote Zoras share with us their experiences about the struggle against patriarchy, connecting the struggles of the past with the opportunities that lie ahead of us today.

Starting from a few of their communiques, we will go deeper in a few
topics they have brought to the table back then and that might inspire us today.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : The metro construction site is under fire

The metro construction site is under fire

The night brings good advice
IAATA, May 19, 2024

Ecological transition and decarbonization are hammered into our heads under the guise of green capitalism. The reality is that capitalism is not a system of transition but of accumulation. 3rd metro line, LGV freeway… This system is maintained by its flows, and that’s where it finds its weaknesses.

Whether Macron likes it or not, if there’s accumulation there’s no trickle-down, it’s a fable with the same misery at the end, the rich don’t share and the poor work themselves to death. That’s why on the night of May 17 to 18 in Toulouse, a drill belonging to NGE, working on the new Toulouse metro line, was set on fire.
