High-voltage cables set on fire: ultra-left suspected

Le Dauphiné, June 27, 2024

A new electrical sabotage attack took place overnight in the Grenoble area on Monday night, as Le Dauphiné Libéré learned from corroborating sources on Wednesday morning: in the commune of Noyarey, 20,000 volt electrical cables were set on fire along the RD 1532, the incident apparently only being discovered late on Tuesday afternoon. During the night of June 12-13, two 20,000-volt power transformers were set on fire on avenue du Grand Sablons in La Tronche and avenue de l’Europe in Grenoble, leaving 2,000 homes and businesses without power.

In Noyarey, the perpetrators of this latest attack targeted easily accessible cables that cross a small stream, the Ruisset (or Gélinot stream), at the level of a small bridge over the RD 1532. The fire caused extensive damage to these cables, but it seems that there were no major power cuts in the neighborhood, either to homes or to neighboring businesses, which would explain why the fire was only discovered on Tuesday afternoon.

Yesterday, on this same site, we made a roundup  of the repressive events that took place at dawn on July 6 in the context of the commemoration of the death of comrade Luisa Toledo. Now, we’re adding information relating to the attempted explosive attacks and updating the news regarding legal status. The situation is as follows:

-Today (July 9) the Court of Appeals accepted the petition of the Southern Prosecutor’s Office and determined pre-trial prison for the 9 comrades whose detentions had at first been declared illegal by the 6th Guarantee Court. These comrades were processed by the Law of Arms Control in flagrante delicto: Daniel Yáñez Seguel, Ismael Almonacid Sánchez, Tomás Montenegro Astudillo, Ricardo Alvarado García, Patricio Araya Muñoz, René Camacho Cáceres, Marcelo Ahumada Jiménez, Roberto Ocampo Binder, and Sebastián Moncada Román.

Milán Miranda is being processed for possession of an explosive device and possession of explosives, after they found a homemade grenade with black powder and industrial explosive material in his house.

Every Heart is a Timembomb – Screening and Discussion Tuesday 6th August at Touchpaper Anarchist Library South (London, UK)

Every Heart is a Timembomb – Screening and Discussion

Tuesday 6th August 7PM
Touchpaper Anarchist Library SE145HD

Rote Zora was a women’s armed struggle group agitating in Germany in the 1970s through to the 1990s. The group originated as a feminist breakaway from the Revolutionary Cells, inspiring an entire generation to fight against patriarchy in all its expressions: (gene) technology, medical, domestic and systemic violence, rape culture, religious power, the medical industry, the war industry – exploitation and oppression at work, in the streets, and at home.

With glue, spraypaint, arson, poetry and bombs, they fought against the old world they lived in, with a burning desire for a new world without oppression, exploitation or war. Together, we will watch the documentary “Frauen bildet Banden!” (women, form gangs!) from 2019, made by FrauenLesbenFilmCollectif Las Otras, in which a number of Rote Zoras share with us their experiences about the struggle against patriarchy, connecting the struggles of the past with the opportunities that lie ahead of us today.

Starting from a few of their communiques, we will go deeper in a few
topics they have brought to the table back then and that might inspire us today.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) France : The metro construction site is under fire

The metro construction site is under fire

The night brings good advice
IAATA, May 19, 2024

Ecological transition and decarbonization are hammered into our heads under the guise of green capitalism. The reality is that capitalism is not a system of transition but of accumulation. 3rd metro line, LGV freeway… This system is maintained by its flows, and that’s where it finds its weaknesses.

Whether Macron likes it or not, if there’s accumulation there’s no trickle-down, it’s a fable with the same misery at the end, the rich don’t share and the poor work themselves to death. That’s why on the night of May 17 to 18 in Toulouse, a drill belonging to NGE, working on the new Toulouse metro line, was set on fire.

Arson attacks paralyze French high-speed rail network hours before start of Olympics

Over 800,000 passengers unable to travel to the French capital – French railways say mass attack and vandalism. Sabotage on high-speed trains happened in France, just before the start of the Olympic Games , while more than 800 thousand passengers cannot move in the French capital.

The French railway company SNCF suffered during the night of Thursday to today Friday (25-26/7) a “massive attack of a range capable of causing paralysis” of the TGV high-speed train network,

which was “largely disrupted”, it informed to AFP, a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

We are diverting some trains to classic lines, but we will have to cancel a large number” of routes, SNCF added in a statement.

The French railway company clarified that “this situation is expected to last at least throughout the weekend, while repairs are carried out”.

Three high-speed train lines were vandalized overnight in France, Reuters reported, citing a statement from the state railway company, which caused major traffic problems on the day of the official opening of the Paris Olympics.

An airport on the Switzerland-France border was evacuated for security reasons. New alarm after the attack on the trains, just hours before the start of the Olympic Games.

“For security reasons, the terminal had to be evacuated and is currently closed,” Basel-Mulhouse EuroAirport said on its website.

Fiery Outing at Playa Ancha University for the Land and Against Capital ( Chile)


July 8, 2024 / informativoanarquista

On Thursday June 27 at the UPLA, barricades were erected, pamphlets were spread, banners were raised, and confrontations took place against the presence of the COP (gendarmes) in the context of the commemoration for the defense of the land against ecocidal extractivism. In this direct action at the port, attention was drawn to Felipe Ríos, currently facing repression and held hostage by the social democratic police state.

Pamphlets and banners read: “Felipe Ríos is with us. Freedom to prisoners”. “Dealers and cops, the same bullshit. Take up your weapon, let them know that their faces are the targets of our bullets”, “freedom for subversive prisoners” and “the promised land is nothing but subdued land. Autonomy and freedom”.

Final Statement of the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair 2024

From the 5th to the 7th of July, Prishtina, Kosova, transformed into a hub of anarchist thought, coordination, and solidarity as it hosted the 16th edition of the Balkan Anarchist Bookfair (BAB). This first-ever anarchist gathering in an Albanian-speaking locality brought together over 250 participants from 29 countries, spanning from Chile to Azerbaijan. A total of 32 collectives and initiatives exhibited books and zines, and 18 discussions and events were organized, showcasing the movement’s all-encompassing diversity. In the true spirit of collectivism and mutual aid, participants got engaged in the organization, making this event a remarkable demonstration of what can be achieved through collective effort.

Having such an event in Prishtina is of particular importance. Since the end of the war, Kosova has remained ensnared in a perpetual state of conflict, leading to an enduring atmosphere of tension between the state of Kosova and Serbia. The elites on both sides have highly capitalized on this situation, ensuring and thriving on division among the societies. The mere fact that comrades from all over the Balkans, including Kosova and Serbia, stood side by side, denouncing nationalism and state politics, is a powerful testament to our collective commitment to solidarity, resistance, and collaboration across the artificial borders and state politics that aim to divide us.

Intervention at the consulate of Kenya | Solidarity with the rebels (Athens,Greece)

On Friday, 12th July, an intervention with banner and flyers took place at the consulate of Kenya in solidarity with the rebels.

During the last weeks, there have been ongoing and massive protests in Kenya against a new tax bill, which will hit the poorest classes of society even harder. The increase in taxes, voted as part of the approval of the draft state budget, have sparked an intense political confrontation. The peak of the mobilizations and demonstrations against the bill, were the mass demonstrations in the capital of Kenya, in Nairobi on June 25th (the day the bill was passed), where groups of protesters managed to break the police stranglehold and set fire to the parliament, from which MPs (members of parliament) and ministers fled through a tunnel. That day, at least 30 protesters were killed by the murderous state supression. The ferocity of the protests even forced the government to back down and withdraw the budget.

Revisiting Social Revolution in the Aftermath of 2020

submitted anonymously on pugetsoundanarchists

“Our task as anarchists, our main preoccupation and greatest desire, is to see the social revolution come about: a terrible upheaval of men and institutions which finally succeeds in putting an end to exploitation and establishing the reign of justice.

For we anarchists the revolution is our guide, our constant point of reference, no matter what we are doing or what problem we are concerned with. The anarchy we want will not be possible without the painful revolutionary break. If we want to avoid turning this into no more than a dream we must struggle to destroy the State and the exploiters through revolution.”
-Alfredo Bonanno, Why Insurrection?
