Sabotage on the Northvolt Site: Arming the Forest (Canada)

One of Montéregie’s last natural environments is in jeopardy! The planned construction of the Northvolt battery plant in Saint-Basile-le-Grand is an ecocidal disgrace. If this project goes ahead, 1.4 square kilometers of wetlands and woodlands will be razed to the ground, serving the greenwashing strategy of our governments, and doing so with public funds.

The area is home to a diverse fauna (bats, birds, amphibians, turtles, snakes, etc.), including several species classified as “threatened” or “endangered”. There are even 142 species of birds that frequent the site! At the same time as public transport companies are undergoing a wave of budget cuts, the provincial and federal governments prefer to give $7.3 billion to the private sector to perpetuate the “car culture”. Instead of investing in more environmentally-friendly collective solutions (trains, buses, car-sharing) in the city and the regions, the governments are perpetuating our dependence on the car, hand in hand with polluting industries and the wealthy.

On September 25, 2023, the Nancy Court of Appeal tried again the anarchist comrade Boris (transl. as is customary the word companion is used in the French, which highlights more the sense that everyone is fighting their own struggle), for having burned the relay antenna of the four telecoms operators, as well as that of the cops and gendarmes, in April 2020 on the Mont Poupet (Jura).

Following this attack which had mobilized in full capacity technicians of the Ministry of the Interior until the bottom of the Jura valley to try to restore their communications as soon as possible, the DNA of the comrade had been found on the spot. After months of eavesdropping and surveillance conducted by the Anti-Terrorist Group (GAT) of Dijon and members of the GIGN specially come from Versailles (transl. equiv. to SAS or Special Ops), and as part of an investigation entrusted to the Specialized Inter-regional Jurisdiction (JIRS) of Nancy, Boris had been arrested in Besançon on September 22, 2020.

Watermael-Boitsfort (Belgium) : police under fire

 Police targeted in two molotov attacks at Watermael-Boitsfort
Sud info/DH, 13 January 2014

Two incidents took place during the night of Friday to Saturday. They took place a few hours apart.

Just before midnight, a police car parked in rue des Nymphes in Watermael-Boitsfort, near the Calypso swimming pool, was targeted with a hail of molotovs. In the end it was a car parked just next to it that caught fire. Agents quickly reached the scene and a “firecracker” then exploded. The two policemen complained of tinnitus. One arrest was made in the crowd after a chase [before releasing the suspect due to lack of evidence].

( Netherlands ) UPS tires slashed in Amsterdam. Vengeance for Tortuguita

UPS tires slashed in Amsterdam. Vengeance for Tortuguita

On a dark and stormy night in Amsterdam the tires of several UPS delivery trucks spontaneously deflated. Maybe because the metal beasts were tired of transporting the junk produced by capitalism and decided to Switch Off. Or perhaps it was because a feral forest creature sank its claws into their rubber underbelly, enraged at UPS financial support for the construction of Cop City.

Vengeance for Tortuguita who was murdered one year ago by the pigs in Atlanta.
