August, North UK : TURKEY FARM ENCLOSURE DESTROYED, FOX TRAP BASHED.

Received anonymously via email:

“We have been paying attention to a particular scummy farmer who among other abuses likes to murder turkeys and sell their corpses for Christmas. They also, like many farmers, love to trap and shoot foxes. It doesn’t seem to matter how many mammal traps they find broken into pieces and strewn across the fields, they keep getting more.

This farmer had recently got themselves a new massive fox trap and placed it, ready for future use, in the enclosure they planned to put the turkeys in once they grew a bit larger.

Postcard from Clandestinity, Greetings from an Anarchist on the run.

Dear comrades along the way,

An annual greeting is not easy to write, it is exhausting; as it tries to express in a few sentences thoughts, feelings and experiences of a whole year – and beyond. A task whose failure, however, has something beautiful inherent in it: the concentrated attention on this one moment of verbalized devotion. It is beautiful to carry you in my chest, eight years after my departure into clandestinity.

The last few days were rather cloudy, as I had to think about my old life and the loss that came with it. Fortunately, this gloom does not predominate, but only spreads from time to time. For the most part of my time, I am in good spirits, happy and proud of my decision to have chosen my free feet on constantly new adventures to the chains on a few square meters of dreariness. If you are unfortunate to face such a decision – take the risk. It is worth it!

Statement for Running Down The Walls 2024 by Anarchist prisoner Toby Shone (UK)

I’ll be joining the 5km Running Down The Walls event in September
that is organised by our comrades across the Atlantic in the United
States.

This initiative is another date in the calendar that can help
build a revolutionary narrative that prisoners and those outside can
participate in together. It promotes physical training and fitness with
a mindset of solidarity in struggle.

These kind of events give us strength and development. A huge shout out to all those taking part.
I write this during the International Week of Solidarity for Anarchist
Prisoners, in combative memory of the state murders of Sacco and
Vanzetti in Boston 1927. P.S. A greeting also to the rebel prisoners in
Italy, I heard of the revolts even here in high security.

Freedom for anarchist comrade Joaquín García Chancks! (Chile)

Freedom for Joaquín García Chancks!

“Only by acting do we shake morality from our bodies to learn that
nothing is really written”

Solidarity with anarchist comrade Joaquín García Chancks, sentenced to 13 years in prison for the Explosive/Incendiary attack carried out by the Gerasimos Tsakalos Explosive Cell, against the 12th Police Station of San Miguel on Oct. 2015. He was also convicted for the revolver he was carrying when he was recaptured by the PDI while he was clandestine in the south of Chile. The comrade has been imprisoned since November 2015 under a strict regime of high security and segregation. Joaquín is currently in the Rancagua Prison/Company in the high security module.

For the real destructive complicity.”

The black thread that links our history

These days, with deep sorrow and bitterness, we went to the cemetery to say goodbye to the body of an anarchist comrade who died in a work accident.

An explosive device was unable to keep him away from all of us 13 years ago, when it exploded while he was installing it.

He survived, despite the severity of his injuries, and spent more than 80 days in hospital, fighting to stay alive. His body was left with deep mutilations and scars… and he kept fighting. He faced a trial, media exposure to the point of exhaustion, was convicted and kept fighting.

He stole 13 years from death and in that time he built various projects, spaces, libraries, activities, did and undid, got closer to comrades, distanced himself from others, but an accident at work separated Tortuga from all of us.

Waiting for the anarchist guerrilla…

Translated from German, originally posted to kontrapolis.info

Spring 2024, the situation is unbearable. Fascism has conquered the minds of many people, not only in the territory controlled by the German State. The rulers of many countries seem to be on a death trip; hot wars between States, wars against migration, war against the planet’s resources and social war are in a phase of enthusiasm for death, reminiscent of descriptions shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. Meanwhile, humanity has its fingers glued to smartphones, numbed by the flickering of algorithms.

As for the hot wars, many anarchists remain in the spectator position. In one of these wars, there are good reasons to join the Kurdish structures and be active against the Turkish State and its Islamist proxies. There are also good reasons to stay away from the PKK’s cult of personality and instead attack Erdogan’s interests in Europe, although the initial waves of action here have subsided considerably. The anarchist space has also not yet developed any practice against the State systems that are largely responsible for the current massacres (NATO/EU/Israel/Iran/Russia) or the war profiteers that is capable of influencing the course of history.

Now, a text published on March 2, 2024 under the title “Developing Incisive Capacity: Making Actions Count”1 raises questions that are certainly relevant to many of us:

What could equip anarchists to carry out more significant strikes, to hone a quality of action that goes beyond the symbolic? What are the current obstacles to anarchists developing a capacity for action on a significant scale, organized in small autonomous groups that can coordinate around a particular focus? In other words, what needs to happen for more anarchists to establish the necessary skills and a certain routine for attacking identified vulnerabilities?

To answer these questions not only theoretically but also practically requires nothing less than an anarchist guerrilla. For with the methods developed in the autonomous movement over the last few decades, we have come no further than exactly where we have been for some time now. In order not to indulge in lengthy analyses, which could hardly be more appropriate than issue 2 of the newspaper “Antisistema”, spring 2024, please refer to this issue.

Switch Off! The System Of Destruction : Rail Bridge Set on Fire, Oregon, USA

The target was a Portland and Western Railroad bridge/trestle over the Willamette River between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie, Oregon.

DE/FR/GR

We will respond to the civilization that destroys the earth and the possibility of free life with destruction in turn.

“The track is closed to railroad traffic at this time.”

“ P&W (PNWR) traffic will be rerouted for quite a while, so Cornelius Pass may see a lot more action for a long time.”

“There is some structural damage to the trestle, which is operated by P&W Railroad.”

PNWR has a diverse traffic base based on carload commodities. Woodchips, paper, agricultural goods, and aggregates are all major sources of traffic. Primary amongst the road’s over 135
customers are Stimson Lumber Company, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Georgia Pacific, and Hampton Lumber Sales. The rail also transports Oil from Exxon Mobile, Asphalt, and petroleum
products. Rail is a primary method of transportation of materials for the industry that makes war possible.

The industrial activity responsible for climate collapse has no real interest in stopping its devastation but instead insists on pretending to be environmentally friendly and using terms such as “green energy”, with new sources of extractive energy that are still harmful to ecosystems and our lives; And above all, with the clarity that each of us are the only ones who can combat the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth, adding our initiative and action to the internationalist campaign.

Midlands,UK : MIDNIGHT TURKEY RAID IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRESOS SUSARON IN CHILE

MIDNIGHT TURKEY RAID IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRESOS SUSARON

8th July,

“MIDNIGHT TURKEY RAID.

It’s always worth having a sneak around at night. After a visit to a farm we knew sold turkeys for Christmas, we managed to locate were the babies they’d be murdering come December were. Young and curious they slept on a filthy concrete floor with little bedding in a barn right next to the farmers house. But we can be quiet and fast when we have to, we took as many as we had good homes for. 26 escaped that night and will not have their bodies Continue reading Midlands,UK : MIDNIGHT TURKEY RAID IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRESOS SUSARON IN CHILE
