Machines burned at highway construction site in NW Portland (usa)

10/3/2024
On Tuesday morning I burned three large machines at an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) construction site in Portland. They were destroying the forest hillside on the south side of the st. johns bridge to protect highway infrastructure.

ODOT construction sites, and highway construction in general, often leave expensive (and highly flammable!) specialized equipment unattended and unsecured overnight, making them easy targets. ODOT is planning major highway expansion in the Portland area over the next few years, despite long campaigns by Youth vs ODOT and other environmentalist groups. Acting through the political system is a futile and insufficient response to the current crisis, as capitalism must continue its endless growth no matter how bad things get. The highway system can only expand if we allow it to. With some creativity, courage, and determination, capital is far more vulnerable than it would have you believe.

Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) France : Fuck concrete and its world!

Two excavators set on fire in Marseille!

During the week of February 12, in the Cayolle district of Marseille, the carcasses of two burnt-out excavators appeared on a building site. They had been eating away at the hillside for several weeks in order to build a new street to extend the city.

So the site was at a standstill for some time!

Fuck concrete and its world!

Bremen, Germany : Switch Off Tren Maya / disrupt Deutsche Bahn

Bremen: Switch Off Tren Maya / disrupt Deutsche Bahn

We got together last night to set fire to two Deutsche Bahn [DB] vehicles with incendiary devices. This company is not only synonymous with expensive rail links and crumbling infrastructure, but is also deeply involved in the arms industry, exploitation and neo-colonialism. In concrete terms, we attacked the DB to make visible the struggles against the Tren Maya in Mexico.

We light rebel fires for the indigenous populations of Chiapas, Comunidad Indígena Otomí, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana. We say: “Compañer@s! you are not alone, your resistance is with us!”

As part of the huge Tren Maya infrastructure project, two railroad lines have been built through the Mexican jungle, with the main aim of bringing mass tourism to the indigenous provinces. Deutsche Bahn, which also strives to present itself as green and sustainable, is part of the project, making money by destroying the Mexican forest – in cooperation with arms companies, the Mexican army and the USA.

Zac under house arrest!

We have received and are spreading the news with joy. Let’s remember that on May 7th Zac has the appeal trial that will decide concerning the special surveillance imposed on him recently:

Fissato appello alla misura di sorveglianza per Zac


A hug and solidarity to Zac!

ZAC UNDER HOUSE ARREST!!

During the trial that sees Zac accused, this morning, a year after his arrest, the college of the assize court of Naples expressed itself positively to the request for house arrest presented by the defence a few days ago. He was granted independent transfer to his home and the possibility to see the co-residents and those who assist him.

Open letter-contribution from Toby Shone ( UK – Italy)

We forward a contribution of Toby Shone from Garth prison in UK, for the debate “Thought and Action – Repressive Attacks on the Anarchist Written Word” held in Turin, Italy on the 10th of March 2024.

——————–

THE SUBVERSIVE WRITTEN WORD

Dear comrades,

This is Toby Shone, an anarchist imprisoned in the operation Adream which was an antiterrorist investigation against the counter-information project 325. I am calling from a prison in northwest England, it’s a long term, high security prison, and the fact that we can steal these moments is very important.

As you may already know, Operation A-dream was a repressive attack by the UK state in which 3 collective housing projects, a family home and storage unit were raided by cops. I was accused of being an administrator of 325.nostate, which earned me 4 terrorist charges: section 2 (distribution of terrorist publications), section 15 (funding terrorism) and two counts of section 58 (possession of information which is likely to be useful for terrorist purposes). I was also accused of several direct actions and membership of FAI, ELF and ALF. Hundreds of police were involved in the simultaneous raids and despite this, only one of the comrades were briefly detained and subsequently released for lack of evidence. It’s clear through the conditions of imprisonment I am held under and the constant monitoring that an active investigation continues with tailings and surveillance of comrades on the outside along with observation of anarchist social spaces.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for liberation by ALF

Taking responsibility for liberation
by ALF

While others exchange recipes, we wear hoods.

In the early hours of Sunday 3/3/23 we invaded the ‘game farms’ of Vassiliadis and Kavouras in Megara (city near Athens). In the first we took down the wild boar fence and in the second we opened the doors of the deer cage.

We deny the role of ‘liberator’ and consider that we have simply done our minimal duty as solidarity towards these captive beings: We have given them a chance to live.
Good luck to all of them and bad luck to those who think of them as food.
Words are nothing, actions are everything and only by them are we judged.

Until next time…
ALF ØΛØ

Butcher shop sabotaged 8th March, by some anarchists (Portland, USA)

Butcher shop sabotaged

Last night we cut off the tiny padlock to the breaker box of a butcher shop “pasture pdx” and shut off their power to make the flesh they butchered unsellable. we also sealed the lock on the door with spray foam insulation. We also shut power to two adjacent stores because it was fun. These things are easily reproduceable and we encourage anarchists to think outside of the box. you can do other things then smash windows.

we dedicate this act to Jack, the Susaron 4 comrades in chile, and all antispeciesists who have been put in cages.

for total freedom!

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : rail traffic sabotage against the A69

Sabotage of the Toulouse-Narbonne railroad against the A69

Indymedia Lille, February 29, 2024

In support of opponents of the A69, we sabotaged the Toulouse-Narbonne railway line on the night of February 28-29.

The SNCF is following the lead of the neoliberal state, increasingly abandoning the freight system in favor of roads. The aim is always the same: to make money flow into the coffers of private companies (private carriers, private builders and managers). The song is old by now, only the pace has changed a little, and accelerated in recent years. Widespread social misery is just one of the consequences of this song, while the devastation of our land in the name of profit is another.

We’d like to salute the rebels who, in these winter months on the crèm-arbre zad, have tried to resist the steamroller of a mafia-like and childish system with determination. We can only imagine that the few nights spent in these cabins must have been cold and damp. That’s why we’ve tried to pass on a little warmth.

(Chile) Against Patriarchy, in Pursuit of the Foundations of Anarchy’s Paths of Negation

By Mónica Caballero

March 5, 2024 / informativoanarquista

From La Zarzamora [https://lazarzamora.cl/?p=12114]

The economic system that currently governs the territory dominated by the chilean State and practically all western States is capitalism. Capitalism, in simple terms, was founded in commerce and industry (means of production) which are organized and controlled by its owners, meaning: businessmen.

For capitalism to take root and endure over time as a political economic system, it needed a patriarchal social structure, understood as the social organization where the authority of men is exercised from the family, and reaching through all practices of domination. For this reason, it would be difficult to pose a radical, emancipator change without ending up totally destroying capitalism and patriarchy. Oppressive, authoritarian patriarchal structures have (mal)formed practically all the relations that we have with others and ourselves.

Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill

[At around 5 a.m. on Monday night, March 5, the Volcano group (Vulkangruppe) set fire to a high-voltage pylon near Steinfurt, a district of the village of Gosen-Neu Zittau in Berlin’s south-eastern suburbs, deliberately cutting off power to Tesla’s “Gigafactory”, located some ten kilometers away. The European factory of Elon Musk’s company, inaugurated in 2022 in Berlin-Grünheide, spits out 6,000 electric SUVs a week, the Model Y, hoping to double its capacity to 1 million units a year.

The plant’s 12,500 employees had to be sent home or told to stay there until production could resume. The Tesla Group is already estimating its economic damage at several hundred million dollars, with an assessment that each day without power or production at its Berlin plant is costing it 50 to 60 million euros. Finally, the General Manager of the Berlin plant, André Thierig, estimates that production will not be able to resume until next week at the earliest, after consulting the electricity grid operator… Here is the translation of the Volcano Group communique published on indymedia germany the same day].


Volcano group switches Tesla off! : Attack on the power supply near Steinfurt

Today, we sabotaged Tesla. Because in Grünau, Tesla devours land, resources, people and labor to spit out 6,000 SUVs – killing machines and “monster trucks” – a week. Our gift for March 8th is to switch Tesla off.

Because the complete destruction of the Gigafactory, and with it, the demise of “techno-fascists” like Elend1 Musk, is a step on the road to liberation from patriarchy. Continue reading Berlin (Germany): sabotage of a high-voltage pylon brings Tesla factory to a standstill

  1. Elend Musk is a pun on his real first name, Elon: elend here means pitiful/miserable.
