Biologica squat has been a political and cultural reference central point for the city of Thessaloniki for 34 years. It has been the ground for many political and cultural assemblies, public events and workshops while supporting the DIY culture in every possible way. Through the years it has a space in the university campus that constantly shouts against discrimination, exploitation and every type of authority. It has hosted many open assemblies, collectives and has been one of the places in the city where people of the anarchist, LGBTQ, punk and student scene come together against anti-commercialism, gentrification and organise against the capitalist way of life that the city of the rich imposes on our lives. At the moment, Biologica squat is the home of the collective “Biologica”, a group of people supporting the DIY scene in anti-commercial terms, the Solidarity Fund for the support of persecuted prisoners and Terra Incognita, an anarchist collective supporting the struggle with all means. In the earlier years of Biologica, other collectives were also active while other groups supported the space by organising public events.Consulting the dictionary: concepts and definitions of “sectarianism”part ii

Grenoble, France: Support to the defendants of 8/12: the Palais de Justice is decorated
via: attaque Indymedia Lille / Wednesday 8 December 2021
On December 8, 2021, a year has passed since cops raided several places in France (Toulouse, Rennes, Ile de France, Dordogne) to take 9 comrades, in the name of anti-terrorism. They took them to the offices of the DGSI in Levallois-Perret in order to interrogate them before incarcerating some and placing others under judicial control (and leaving 2 under witness status).
It seems that this repression on the part of the State and the cops is a response to the accusation that they hate the State and the cops. In the midst of the social movement against the Global Security Law, as usual, the media have been able to brandish the headline of an anti terrorist affair in the “extreme left” and have given themselves a great deal of pleasure in magnifying this affair by repeating the police’s accounts.

Report-back from a Rail Blockade in Saint-Lambert (Montreal,Canada)
Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
On Saturday, more than sixty people acting in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en land defenders blocked the CN main line in Saint-Lambert south of Montreal for over six hours. It was the longest rail blockade in Quebec since the winter of 2020, interrupting Via Rail service and immobilizing six freight trains. These notes reflect the experience of a couple participants in Saturday’s blockade.
Nostalgia mixed with anticipation as we arrived at the tracks where they cross rue Saint-Georges, with banners ready to hang across the rail crossing and no police in sight. It was a bright morning, temperatures just below freezing and the ground snowless, a contrast with that first night in February 2020, when temperatures sunk to 25 below and snow could be piled into mounds atop the rails.

Glorious Rage: Rail Sabotage in Solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en (Canada)
There is nothing left unsaid. RCMP Out.
CGL off the Yintah.
Defend the Wedzin Kwa.
This is an act of genocide. An active genocide.
An armed invasion by the colonial state.
There is nothing left to say: they do not listen to words.
So just do; that is what we have done.
One recent evening, allies/accomplices went out into the night to pick up where others may have left off in the spring of 2020: targeting rail infrastructure.
Using various methods (detailed below for your reference, education and delight!) we disrupted rail all over so-called southern Ontario throughout the night, hitting nearly a dozen different spots on both CN and CP rail lines. We did this in heartfelt solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en defending their Yintah from destruction, and fuelled our actions with the justified rage we feel towards the RCMP and state for once against invading their territory on behalf of a private corporation.
Rail was a harbinger of colonized settlements and the genocide of Indigenous peoples across so-called Canada, and also an indefensible way to target the kkkanadian economy, so we find it an ideal target as people unable to be standing shoulder to shoulder with the Wet’suwet’en land defenders.
While some crews opted for the copper wire method, others found inspiration in other means of targeting railway circuits – including severing low voltage track circuits and the arson of railway signal bungalows.

Indymedia Lille / Saturday, December 4, 2021
On the night of December 3 to 4, we toasted the health of the Guadeloupean rioters with hammers against the windows of an Adecco Medical temp agency on Avenue de Bretagne in Toulouse.
This December 4th, the care workers are taking to the streets again against the chain of closures of many hospital services throughout France, due to the lack of personnel who are increasingly deserting. The temp agency is this privatized valve to compensate for the chronic daily lack of caregivers in the services. We remind you that these agencies earn a lot of money by being one of the cogs in the bankruptcy of the health care system.

Italy: To those who have a bomb in their heart
In August 2018, two explosive devices, one of which will not work, are placed near the local of the Lega, in Villorba (in the suburbs of Treviso).
An action “against politicians, cops and their minions”.
Juan, our friend and companion, is accused of this attack and the Court of Treviso is trying him for “indiscriminate massacre”
The charge of indiscriminate and infamous massacre reveals the upside down world we live in. The one that has killed hundreds of people in the streets, in factories, in psychiatric hospitals and in prisons; the one that, for decades, has covered up for the bosses who have made workers die because of exposure to asbestos, or who have made entire populations fall ill because of the pollution of the air, of the fields, of the water ; the one that has prevented millions of people from leaving their homes, while forcing the elderly to die of Covid and loneliness, in RSAs; [Residenza sanitaria assistenziale, nursing homes] the one that plunders and bombs entire countries and then lets people fleeing misery and war sink into the Mediterranean or freeze in a forest; yes, specify him, His Majesty the Italian State, he accuses of indiscriminate massacre an anarchist, an enemy of all power and all oppression Continue reading Italy: To those who have a bomb in their heart
Berlin (Germany): ATMs damaged for Black Friday
de.indymedia.org / Friday, November 26, 2021
The night before the so-called Black Friday we damaged 9 ATM’s in a shopping street for rich people, because we hate their shitty, consumer-oriented holiday.
For this purpose we simply used some super glue and gift cards, which we pushed into the slot. We can do this without attracting attention. So this is a very low level action, just for fun. We invite you all to try it, not only ATMs have a slot for cards.

Down with the EU`s borders!
Against a state of indifference!
For weeks now it has been clear that inhumane conditions also prevail at the Polish-Belarusian border. With the onset of winter, the situation has worsened: Thousands of people are stuck at the Polish border, trying to find their way into the EU through the cold and harsh forests. Poland’s border policy – like the policies of the rest of the Schengen states – leaves no room for doubt: The European Union is building on ever-higher walls. The border is under constant strict technological and military surveillance and illegal push-backs – the deportation of those who do make it across the border – are not the exception but the rule. Journalists and aid organizations are still denied access to the Polish border area. What images are released to the public is part of a political calculation and is solely in the hands of the authorities.

Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines): fire at the offices of the municipal police
actu78, 24 November 2021 (extract)
Two cars of the municipal police of Mantes-la-Jolie, parked in front of the brigade, were set on fire during the night of 23 to 24 November 2021. This was clearly an intentional act.
At precisely 1.06am, the fire brigade was called to two vehicles on fire at 17, boulevard des Cygnes in Mantes-la-Jolie. The firefighters extinguished the fire without difficulty, thus avoiding any spreading. The Renault Clio and the Peugeot 207 were destroyed by the flames. The Mantes municipal police, which normally operates 24 hours a day, was understaffed last night. There were no patrols. Only two officers were working at the video surveillance centre inside the premises.

Chile : 8 years after his murder: Action, Memory and Revenge for Sebastián Oversluij “Pelao Angry”.
We share a poster in memory of Sebastián Oversluij Seguel, murdered in 2013 by a bank guard in a region controlled by the chilean state, when when he was preparing to carry out a bank expropriation.
“Take the leap, dream that praxis will grow stronger
lone animals no one can stop us
not even a thousand walls
with the idea held in that head
make your way
imagine every fence is on the ground
to hell with this disastrous society
perhaps romantic friends there is nothing more beautiful
than to feel free of its laws while relishing the delight of death
of civilisation at sunset
I chase a thousand destructive dreams in the dark
fire feeds my senses
the howls of the insurrectionary pack
fertile ground for living and dying in search
of total liberation.
The idea is in the mind with actions it creates
versatile communities
affinities in the struggle
not prisoners of imposed tasks
for the freedoms you desire
and if thousands of limits surround us
you use every resource you can get hold of.”

Bremen (Germany): Against the borders of Europe! Army vehicles should burn (again and again)!
Bremen (Germany): incendiary devices against a Frontex collaborator
Attack on the arms company and Frontex OHB supplier in Bremen
Last night 24/11/21, we attacked the arms company OHB SE on the Manfred-Fuchs square in the industrial park of the university of Bremen and set several cars on fire.
OHB SE is one of the biggest players in the field of aeronautics and aerospace with its headquarters in Bremen, but it makes its money on the deaths with which the federal army and Frontex pave their way. In 2001, OHB became one of the biggest players in the satellite and aerospace sector when it won a contract worth more than 320 million euros with the German army ‘for the development, construction, launch and operation of the SAR-Lupe radar reconnaissance system’. This was to enable the German army to obtain information through autonomous military espionage, independent of weather conditions.
In 2008, the Federal Army officially received the satellite system. OHB itself stated: ‘With SAR-Lupe, OHB has succeeded for the first time in running a satellite program as the main contractor. In doing so, the company developed and built the satellite system and is jointly responsible with the Federal Armed Forces for its operation. OHB is thus not only a supplier to the Federal Army, but also actively participates in the German warfare and surveillance machine. In 2013, the German Army again placed an order with OHB for the development and construction of the SARah tracking system. This was and is to be used by the German army exclusively for military purposes.

“To advance in an uncompromising way and against all the odds has been our life choice, betting precisely on the confrontation of the struggle through ant-like work, taking tangible millimetric steps, in which each free, solidaristic and conscious individual manages to propagate and spread the message of total liberation”. -Pablo Bahamondes Ortiz

From the historic Simón Bolívar community we extend the invitation to every individuality, group, network and anti-authoritarian collective to participate in this day that intends to agitate and show solidarity with our captive comrades who today are condemned to decades of political imprisonment for having dealt multiple blows to power and its infrastructures from an autonomous subversive position.
In Defence of Associative Specificity – Concerning (Inherently) Anarchist “Sectarianism” Part I.
[London,] November 23, 1871 “[…] The International was founded in order to replace the Socialist or semi-Socialist sects by a real organisation of the working class for struggle […], the Internationalists could not have maintained themselves if the course of history had not already smashed up the sectarian system […] So long as the sects are (historically) justified, 
the working class is not yet ripe for an independent historic movement. As soon as it has attained this maturity all sects are essentially reactionary. […] And the history of the International was a continual struggle on the part of the General Council against the sects […] At the end of 1868 the Russian, Bakunin, entered the International with the aim of forming inside it a second International called the “Alliance of Social Democracy”. Bakunin – a man devoid of theoretical knowledge – put forward the pretension that this separate body was to represent the scientific propaganda of the International, which was to be made the special function of this second International within the International. His program was a superficially scraped together hash of petty bourgeouis ideas from here and there: […] atheism as a dogma to be dictated to the members of the International, etc., and as the main dogma, (Proudhonist) abstention from the political movement. This children’s fable found favour (and still has a certain hold) in Italy and Spain […] and among a few vain, ambitious and empty doctrinaires in French Switzerland and Belgium […] Resolutions 1(2) and (3) and IX now give the New York committee legal weapons with which to put an end to all sectarian formations and amateur groups and if necessary to expel them […]”
