Toulouse : in the face of a “dramatic” situation INDIGO weel has withdrawn its 350 bicycles and 500 electric scooters
France3 Occitanie, 17 December 2021
Due to the fire on the night of December 13 at its operational base in Colomiers (Haute-Garonne), INDIGO weel has been obliged to withdraw all of its electric bikes and scooters from Toulouse. Until further notice. These withdrawal operations will be completed by Christmas Eve.
The fire was in a hangar in the town of Colomiers (Haute-Garonne) on the night of Monday December 13. In the building the lithium batteries of the company’s fleet of bicycles and scooters specialising in “soft mobility” were stored. The cause of the incident is still unknown.
“Several weeks” will be “necessary to allow the service to be resumed”. On the evening of Friday 17 December, INDIGO weel described the situation as “dramatic”: “our 3000 square metre premises and the several hundred vehicles inside were completely burnt down.”

Lyon,France: Direct action against the ARS

Direct action against the ARS
Published December 12
We are fed up with the breakdown of public services.
For years, nurses have been protesting against the administrative mismanagement of hospitals, the withdrawal of beds in the wards, the lack of staff…
For these reasons, one night during the weekend of 4-5 December, we visited the Regional Health Agency in Lyon, wrote “No more beds!” on its façade and smashed its windows.
Next time we’ll come in 200

ITALY: PALINDROMES

First they came to denigrate philosophers and researchers who publicly criticized the validity of the reasons and data put forward by the government to legitimize the imposition of bans and the suspension of freedoms. But ordinary mortals do not frequent speculative cloisters or scientific laboratories, so very few are concerned about them.Then they came to disqualify doctors who doubted the anti-pandemic health protocols established by the government. But these doctors do not appear regularly on TV programs, they have no reputation, so very few are concerned about them.
Then they came to blackmail health workers who did not want to abide by the obligation to vaccinate. When this threat became law, very few refused to pay attention, so very few are concerned about them.
Then they came to blackmail all workers who do not have the digital green certificate [Covid passport], which after all is not difficult to obtain: it is enough not to be a flat earther or conspiracist and offer your arm, or at most pay a small sum every 48 hours to get your nose hammered, so very few are concerned about them.

The Aroma of Fire: The Rage of Despair in a Tripolar World – Gustavo Rodríguez [I am Dynamite Editions]

“The sulphorous aroma of the combustion of petrol and is derivatives, causes an unmistakable olfactory sensation that incites a certain transitory state of euphoria and unconsciously sends us a succession of associated images that produce infinte pleasure: a burning precinct, a prison reduced to ashes, a conglomerate of charred atennas, a torched patrol car or a beautiful charred shopping centre. This becoming-fire -which lights up the night- causes a liberating commotion that no other means, no war machine, can bring about. A gesture is innovated that makes anarchy perceptible through the flames of devastation.”
– Gustavo Rodríguez

A communication text by Alfredo Cospito about Operation Sibilla (Italy)

November 28, 2021
In the hope that they can pass censorship, I throw on paper these few lines. First of all affection and solidarity to the comrades who have been involved in this umpteenth clownish repression. Especially to Michael who is under house arrest and all-the other comrades and comrades of “Vetriolo”, and anarchist sites “Round Robin” and “Malacoda” that have been obscured.
I then send back to the sender the furry “solidarity” that democratic and reformist formations such as “Potere al Popolo”, “Rifondazione Comunista” and “Italian Communist Party” have indirectly given me by solidarizing with the defendants of the operation “Sibilla”. I don’t need your “solidarity” because I spit on your democracy as I spit on your constitution. I have never liked whining about freedom of opinion, so I will not dwell on the lack of respect for freedom of thought. That said, I want to reiterate that I am and we have been investigated not for words in freedom, or some writing on the wall, but for what we are: anarchists and anarchists consistent.

Attack on the headquarters of the CSIF in Barcelona (Spain)

Attack on the headquarters of the CSIF in Barcelona
On the morning of the 20th of December, the headquarters of the CSIF union, located at 118 Nàpols street, was attacked with graffiti reading “Torturers, Freedom for Prisoners 27F” and an A for anarchy, and one of the windows of the headquarters was smashed.
This union, which wants to cover different sectors of the civil service, is mainly made up of prison guards and police officers. There was mobilised these last few days at the gates of Brians I in order to block their impunity, like the jailers who have a module of Brians confined and benefit from the excuse of alleged aggressions against civil servants. Moreover, this union is part of the private prosecution of the current anarchist prisoners of 27F.

”Operation Sibilla”, Italy : All custodial measures annulled

Today the news broke that all custodial measures for the repressive operation Sibilla of 11th November, directed in particular against the anarchist paper Vetriolo, were annulled by the court of review held on 14th December. Therefore there are no more signing and residence obligations for three comrades, or house arrest for Michele Fabiani and pre-trial detention for Alfredo Cospito, who remains imprisoned following a 20-year sentence in the Scripta Manent trial.
The reasons for the decision will be made known within 45 days. Without going into the matter of court waste paper, it seems that the wording “annulment” represents the highest possible denial of the accusatory hypothesises on a technical level. In any case, regardless of the judges’ verdict, we continue to firmly persevere with revolutionary anarchist propaganda, solidarity with our imprisoned comrades and the defence of anarchist publications. The repression doesn’t surprise us: we knew that the recent sentencing against the latest edition of “Croce Nera Anarchica” in the Scripta Manent appeal trial would create an infamous precedent.

“Le réchauffement climatique, le pic des combustibles fossiles, la fonte des glaces, la disparition de la biodiversité, la déforestation et la désertification, les ouragans et les déluges, tout en étant des
phénomènes aux conséquences éminemment planétaires, n’annoncent pourtant probablement pas l’apocalypse planétaire finale, l’effondrement de l’État et du capital partout sur la planète. Mais ce ne sont pas moins des phénomènes bien réels : ils sont en train de modifier les sociétés humaines, et de redessiner les terrains d’affrontement et de lutte. Des études des assurances aux rapports stratégiques militaires, des projets menés par les grosses entreprises énergétiques aux recherches menées dans les laboratoires : dans toutes les salles de commande qui pilotent
la course en avant de cette civilisation-titanic, on prend acte des
changements qui sont en cours et qui s’annoncent.
Loin des conférences mondiales telles que celles dédiées au climat qui viennent confesser publiquement l’obsolescence politique face à l’ampleur du changement climatique, et pendant que des gens
bien-intentionnés continuent à implorer des mesures fortes, des
centaines de milliers d’experts préparent un avenir avec changement climatique, avec réchauffement de la planète, avec pénurie de matières premières, avec pandémies facilitées par l’urbanisation, la mobilité motorisée et la globalisation.

Spain : Prison of Brians I: updates on the anarchist comrades arrested on 27th February

Some people decide to stay inside
Alberto Frisetti – Albo to his friends – refuses to get out of jail on bail, or rather by paying a ransom of 45,000 euros to the Spanish State, in line with the common declaration made by the 27th February Prisoners following Jeanne’s release: “Either all or none”. Albo refuses this compromise despite the generosity of his father who would have paid the disproportionate amount of ransom.
The frame-up against them accusing them of attempted murder has collapsed, but the judge who has been holding them in jail for 9 months and who for a long time had concealed a fire brigade report exonerating them from the serious charge, contrived this latest obscenity of exorbitant ransom, a blatant attack on the Presos del 27F beyond any criminal charge, thus revealing the true highly political face of this trial: laws are only bludgeons to strike the enemy.

Marseille, France: A few revengeful blows against RTM  

In the night between 6th and 7th December, the building of RTM [Régie des transports métropolitains, the public transport agency of Marseille and surroundings] on boulevard Clemenceau had its windows smashed and a message was written on the floor outside the entrance door: “RTM murderers”.
This was a minimal gesture of revenge following the murder of Saïd M’Hadi* at the end of September, killed by RTM ticket inspectors; these are the same inspectors who take part in police raids in their daily operations.
* Note of the Italian translator: Said died suffocated on 22nd September at an underground station in Marseille. RTM officers pinned him to the ground after a ticket control he allegedly reacted against in a “virulent” manner, according to inspectors (Said had learning disabilities).

(SPAIN)MARCHA AL CIE DE ALUCHE 30 DE DICIEMBRE EUGENIA DE MONTIJO ES/EN

pdf : PANFLETOMARCHACIE IN ENGLISH
AGAINST THE CIES, THE NATIONS, THE BORDERS AND THE SYSTEM THAT PERPETUATES THEM
On May 17, 2021, a geopolitical conflict between the Spanish and Moroccan states led to the opening of borders in Morocco, with the consequent crossing of people under inhumane conditions on the border beaches between the two countries. In response, the Spanish State increased its military presence in Ceuta, carrying out hot returns and other humiliating treatment, reducing people to mere merchandise. On August 30 of this year, due to military and economic interests, an unsustainable situation has been generated in Afghanistan forcing people to leave the country.
These are clear examples of the role of democracy and capitalism in the management of our lives, through the development of infrastructures, control of population flows, treaties, laws and borders. All this generates an important business that seeks to control the oppressed populations and use them for their miserable self-dealing and political games.

I didn’t know I was Harry Houdini
26/11/2021
Today I was taken from the cells of G-wing, Bristol prison to the City Hospital under a security escort. This was to detect any reoccurrence of cancer in my abdomen and pelvis. In the reception area of the prison, I had the usual strip search, and I was forced to change out of my own clothes into prison-issue clothes.
This offended my dignity as even when I was being held in Wandsworth prison in London under “antiterrorist” conditions I could at least go to the hospital in my own clothes. Whilst I was waiting for the screws to finish the paperwork, I got a glance of my cover sheet at my file – “escape list” marked in red. I was shackled to a screw with an escort and another two and I was driven by four screws in an unmarked van to the radiology unit. Along the way and back, of course, I was a witness to the pathetic, belittling ,racist, misogynistic “chats” of the screws who consider themselves experts of all aspects of life. At the radiology unit there were discussions between the medical staff and screws with some referral to their superiors, as, without any foresight on the screws part, they hadn’t realised that I couldn’t be shackled inside the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. Despite the MIR machine being within a sealed room with a single door, I was forced to wear a pair of plastic zip tight cuffs which were tightened so tight they cut into my wrists.

International Campaign for Revolutionary Anarchism and Solidarity with Revolutionary Prisoners
With the capitalist destruction of earth and life continuing unhindered and the nearing prospects of an ecological collapse, there is, perhaps more than ever, a serious and immediate need for global revolutionary movements. Where do our movements here in Europe stand faced with the immense challenges and demands of our epoch? Can we retrace our revolutionary roots? Can we become the creative force that can effectively abolish the cannibalistic authority of the rich few over the many?
Outside of Europe, the revolutionary spirit has reaffirmed its historical strength with armed and organized insurrections in Chiapas and the Middle East paving the way for the liberation of life through the self-organization of the people on the bottom, on terms of equality and communitarianism. But also all around the world in recent decades we see that combative resistance and insurrections are breaking out as a result of the increasing violence and totalitarianism of capitalism.
Let’s draw our inspiration from the Black resistance movement in the U.S. and the uprising in Chile. These were popular people-led movements using militant and insurrectionist strategies to directly confront the oppressors and their armed thugs (the police). Daily images of barricades, burning banks and attacks against cops flooding global news are the reminder that the world of those in power is easily set ablaze when the rage of the oppressed finds a collective expression.

Athens,Greece: International Solidarity Call for Community of Squatted Prosfygika [ENG,FR, GER, SPA, IT, TUR]

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE DEFENSE OF THE COMMUNITY OF SQUATTED PROSFYGIKA ON ALEXANDRAS AVENUE IN ATHENS, GREECE
Hello comrades,
We address this call to collectives and individuals from all around the world to join the combative defense of PROSFYGIKA against the imminent repression. The attempted evacuation of our neighborhood must be turned into a central event of resistance and a victory against political power and the gentrification of our neighborhoods in the metropolis.
WHAT WE INVITE YOU TO DEFEND
The building complex of Prosfygika was built in 1933 for the refugees coming from Asia minor. In the conditions of the time, a vibrant working class neighbourhood with communal characteristics emerged. Today,it is one of the biggest building complexes in the center of Athens, which is still not gentrified and exploited by big investors or the state. It is a place of strategic significance, since it is located between the two ‘pillars’ of authority – the Supreme Court on one hand and the Police Headquarters on the other.
