Call for Participation: Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2024

With great excitement we announce that, for the first time ever, the 16th edition of Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB) will be held in Prishtina, Kosova, from 5th – 7th of July 2024. BAB is not merely a platform to promote books, but also place to exchange information and ideas, create new initiatives, and strengthen organizations. As such, for more than 20 years, it stands as a testament to our collective commitment to solidarity, resistance, and collaboration across the artificial borders of Balkans.

BAB comes at a crucial time when the capital is experiencing its regular accumulation crisis, the fires of war are ravaging across the world, putting us at the brink of a world war, and fascism, in its explicit form, is spreading like wildfire. States are getting more militarized and the populations are increasingly policed, breaking apart communities and bonds of solidarity. And with any type of dissent oppressed, the capital runs freely, ever expanding to new sources of exploitation.

Claim of Responsibility for Parker-Hannifin Arson (Portland,United States)

On June 4th, The Israeli Defense Ministry penned a deal to procure a third F-35 fighter jet squadron from the United States government. This deal totaling 3 billion dollars, financed by US military aid to Israel, would bring the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 fleet to 75 fighter jets. The F-35 considered to be the backbone of the Israeli airforce, has played a critical role in the IDF’s assault on Gaza, escalating Israel’s aim of the total destruction of Palestinian life within Israeli occupied territories.

So on the morning of June 9th, we started a fire at the Portland offices of Parker-Hannifin located at 6458 N. Basin Ave in the Mocks Bottom industrial area. The mainstream media did not report on this fire. The full extent of the damage is unknown.

NEW CALEDONIA: THE KANAK INSURRECTION AND THE NICKEL INDUSTRY

08/06/2024 via: sansnom Translated by Act for freedom now!

13th May 2024. The shopping centre « Kenu In » goes up in smoke from the first night of the insurrection

Despite the efforts of the French colonial authorities, who day after day backed with numerous press releases are announcing a return to normal, the situation in New-Caledonia is far from being settled four weeks after the outbreak of the uprising of a part of the Kanak youth. And some signs are unmistakable, such as the continuation of the curfew (18h-6h) at least until June 17, the requisition of petrol stations for the exclusive use of cops and military that has just been lifted on June 8th, or the fact that the international airport of La Tontouta remains closed «until further notice». Only the airfield of Magenta has been open to commercial flights again since June 5th, or internal flights to New Caledonia to Lifou, Ouvéa and Maré, and nearly 500 French tourists are still blocked on the island after three weeks. As for the North of New Caledonia, it is the army that takes charge directly of the supplying (and therefore rationing and priorities) of the stores, managing the containers that arrive at Koné by barge.

At present, despite the pressure of the 3,500 cops and soldiers sent to the scene, some roadblocks in the neighbourhoods of Nouméa or along the 50 km road leading to the airport, are still being re-erected by Kanak insurgents after their dismantling, without omitting to trap them with gas cylinders at times or even prepare some little surprises for the blues: on June 4th in Dumbéa, for example, a gendarme fell down a manhole after walking on branches that had been placed over it to mask the opening. “With a depth of 1m20, concrete re-inforced irons 2 mm in diameter had been positioned vertically at the bottom to create piles. The gendarme was impaled by one leg and a metal stake that had got in between his bullet-proof vest and body vest, which had pierced but without penetration thanks to the Kevlar plate.”

In total, of this archipelago of 270,000 inhabitants, 212 police officers and gendarmes have been injured since May 13, but also a significant number of Kanaks that the authorities officially refuse to account for, but which we know is considerable and sometimes very serious: several insurgents have lost an eye or had facial bones smashed following shots from police flash balls, others have bullet wounds and are in coma.

Athens,Greece: The only ethical consumption is expropriation, by Anarchists

via: athens.indymedia.

The only ethical consumption is expropriation.

In the face of the hijacking of our lives we refuse to remain inactive. That’s why on Thursday June 6th we storm on morning times  at the A.B. supermarket located on the National Resistance street ( Εθνικής Αντιστάσεως ) in Kaisariani. We went in, took what we wanted and left undisturbed.

This location was chosen in an attempt to break the regime of terror and inaction that has prevailed in recent months in the area, due to the suffocating increase in police, both static forces and patrols. We are re-residentializing our spaces and neighbourhoods, which the State is methodically trying to sterilize, turning them into hotbeds of lawlessness and resistance.

Extremely expensive Tesla completely burnt out (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)

Happened in the night between 10 and 11 June in Amsterdam.

Just after 3:30 a.m., a parked Tesla burned out completely on the Heemstedestraat in Nieuw-West. This type of car cost about 108,000 euros new. The fire brigade had arrived shortly after the report, but by then it was already clear that there was little left to save. The flames were already shooting out of the electric car meters high.

There was also a lot of smoke released. The exact cause of the fire is not yet known. Given the time of day, arson is not ruled out, but a short circuit could also be a cause. That will be looked into.

Incendiary attack on the machinery of the Elikonos Station (Athens,Greece)

In a society that champions the urban landscape as the sole way of existence, our liberty and very essence endure relentless oppression day after day. To turn a blind eye to this truth is to allow this tyranny to thrive and progress. It’s degrading to merely endure this survival state instead of truly living. We must rebel against it by any means necessary.

Therefore, on 26/5, we executed an incendiary attack on the equipment situated at the construction site of the Elikonos station within the forthcoming line 4 of the metro. We harbor no delusions that this strike will halt the advancement of the new line project, yet we grasp that it represents a stride in the correct direction. Every development zone of this nature leads to the gentrification of the surrounding locality, causing small enterprises to flounder and rents to soar to exorbitant levels. It is our obligation to stand as the barrier against this dystopian future until absolute emancipation.
