A Canadian is facing federal charges after authorities alleged he shot a gun at an electricity substation in western North Dakota.

A person appeared Wednesday, July 12, in U.S. District Court in Bismarck on one count each of destruction of an energy facility, “possession of a firearm by an illegal alien” and “possession of ammunition by an illegal alien.” His trial is scheduled for September.

Italy : Communiqué from Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi” in Carrara,on the August 8 repressive operation (and Luigi’s prison address)

Carrara, Italy : REPRESSIVE OPERATION AGAINST THE ANARCHIST PAPER BEZMOTIVNY

August, the State, through the public prosecution of Genoa (in the figure of prosecutor Federico Manotti) and the DIGOS of La Spezia, carried out yet another repressive operation against the anarchist movement. Their aim is to silence any revolutionary desire and aspiration – as already happened with “anatianarchist laws” over a hundred years ago.

Ten anarchists have been accused in this investigation including five comrades of Carrara for whom the prosecutor had requested imprisonment, which the judge for preliminary investigations Riccardo Ghio changed to four house arrests with full restrictions, followed by five forced residences with curfew, and one comrade with no restrictions. One of the four comrades under house arrest was ordered to be taken to prison as he did not have a certificate of residence: so Luigi has been transferred to the prison of La Spezia.

As well as the house searches the historic anarchist place in Carrara, Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi”, was also searched. Magazines, books, leaflets, posters and digital material were confiscated.

Athens,Greece: symbolically attacked, throwing paint at the ANEGERSIS CONSTRUCTION companyby anarchists

Back off snitches, forward comrades, by anarchists

We are in a period where in the last few months alone there have been State and capitalist murders, along with the plundering of nature to serve various interests and additional restrictions and surveillance. Issues which certainly cannot leave us indifferent.

The Tempi accident, the forest fires, the murder of hundreds of migrants at the borders (see the shipwreck off Pylos), the labour “accidents” are some of the events that have taken place. Others have been “announced”, carried out and are being launched even more intensely, such as evictions, iron cladding of parks and squares (such as Park Drakopoulou, following on from Exarcheia, various squares concerning the metro, etc.), privatisations, curfews for the city’s few parks, and of course the eviction of self-managed spaces and the intensifying attack on the people of the struggle. These are the conditions we have to face.
Within this context, there have been two “rounds” of elections in which the New Democracy party won and is still in government. Thus, the state has continuity and “commitments” that continue. Repression, cops, bans, individual responsibility are the tools of the state to manage any “crisis”.

A flashback on “Operation Panico” (Italy)

A flashback on Operation Panico

Now that the sentences of Operation Panico have been made final by the court of Cassation(https://ilrovescio.info/2023/07/15/operazione-panico-condanne-confermate-in-cassazione-paska-condotto-in-carcere-a-bologna/), it seems appropriate to remember – at least briefly – the facts for which these comrades were sentenced. We are doing this by republishing a poster spread throughout Trentino and beyond in the summer of  2019, on the eve of the first degree sentence. While the charge of criminal association fell in the second degree, and Giovanni has been acquitted for the “New Year’s bang”, almost all the other charges have been confirmed on appeal and again by the Cassation of Rome. We also recall that Paska, arrested in Bologna, has been transferred to the prison of Opera in Milan. To him and to all those sentenced our full solidarity: if they are “innocent”, they fully deserve it; if they are “guilty”, they deserve it even more!

To write to Paska:

A FLASH OF MEMORY AND REVENGE

In Florence, on the night of new year 2017, a homemade device was found by the Digos in the iron shutter of the fascist bookshop “il Bargello”, linked to Casapound. Intervening without protection, perhaps drunk with the revelries, one of the police bomb disposal unit is seriously wounded after exploding it in his face.

Bremen (Germany): burning electric charging stations

Bremen: burning electric charging stations

The costs of the energy transition … and electric charging stations on fire

The exploitation of new sources of raw materials, mines and factories to implement the so-called energy transition and the shift to electrified individual transport is in full swing: megafactories exploiting groundwater; new lithium mines in Portugal; nickel and gold from stolen indigenous land in Indonesia; exploitation of vanadium deposits in Norway and rare earths on Samí territory in Sweden; cobalt from the Congo… the industrial exploitation of copper, cobalt and nickel on the seabed; the supply of hydrogen from artificial islands in the North Sea or via neo-colonial import strategies from Namibia and Chile … the costs of this energy transition and of continued exploitation are now common knowledge. The shift towards green capitalism is inevitably accompanied by a intensification of the exploitation of people and nature!

There are an infinite number of targets, means and methods for attacking, delaying and sabotaging this process.

We have chosen to focus on an infrastructure that is currently developing rapidly and is present almost everywhere: electric charging stations. They are a necessary component of the Green New Deal’s transportation shift and therefore make an ideal, low-threshold target.

Arson suspected in fire at L.A. City Hall, officials say – Los Angeles CA (USA)

Arson suspected in fire at L.A. City Hall, officials say – Los Angeles CA

July 07, 2023

The Los Angeles Fire Department’s arson team is investigating a fire that occurred Saturday night on the second floor of City Hall, authorities said.

Police believe that someone may have started the fire by throwing an unknown object through a window in the building.

“Initially it appears a suspect outside of City Hall threw an object … into the office, breaking the window and causing the fire,” said Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson Officer Warren Moore. There was damage inside one of the offices, he said.

The fire alarm on the second floor was activated at 8 p.m. Saturday, Moore said.

Switch off! – the system of destruction

Switch off!  – the system of destruction

About 20 people storm a construction site of the Coastal Gas Link pipeline in western Canada. They are armed with axes and flares, threaten employees, hijack heavy construction vehicles, destroy the site’s building and ultimately the vehicles themselves. The damage amounted to millions. That was almost a year ago. It is still unclear who sabotaged the construction of the pipeline in the province of British Columbia. Fracked gas was soon to flow through the pipeline, which runs right through indigenous land, to the West Coast, from where it would be shipped on to Asia.

A call…

Whether you occupy universities, schools, trees or streets. Whether you spend your nights worrying or sabotaging. Whether you strike or write about it.

The certainty that the current system will result in the collapse of the massively damaged ecosystem has already inspired countless people to resist. Tens of thousands are taking to the streets against the “business as usual” of the capitalist machinery, people are resisting the destructive large-scale projects en masse, the infrastructure of the system is being blocked and courageous fighters are setting fire to the machines that are being used to rob them of the very basis of life. What we need in the struggle against the destruction of nature and the resulting social misery is the shared pursuit of real revolutionary rupture and freedom of all. Pursuing an initiative that rejects all compromises and cosmetic corrections of the state and brings about a transformation of our social relations. Because the destruction of the planet by the neoliberal economic system is inextricably linked to patriarchal patterns of thought, racism and colonialism. The initiative for this must necessarily come from below. From the struggles of the excluded. From the struggles of those who enact a self-organized solidarity against the state’s promises of salvation. From the struggles of those who see that there can be no compromises in the fight against the systemic destruction of the biosphere.

Munich (Germany): one relay antenna less

Munich , one relay antenna less

Around 2:20 a.m. on Saturday night, July 16, a relay antenna was set on fire in Forstenrieder Park, near the town of Pullach (a southern suburb of Munich). It was at this time that the cell phone operator lost all signal, before sending a team to the site the following day at around 1pm (a Sunday), who could only observe that its installation had been burnt down during the night before the fire extinguished itself, without however completely destroying the tower.

The authorities, for their part, obviously do not presume a technical fault – the familiar police theory of the self-combustion of relay antennas is now a bit forced – but rather a “crime affecting State Security”, leading them to entrust the investigation to the K43 police station (“far-left political criminality”).

Arson Attack Against the Senator of the Interior’s Personal Car in Bremen, Germany

Arson Attack on the Car of Bremen’s Senator of the Interior Mäurer

Switch OFF! the System of Destruction

Lina, Leon, Janis, Philipp, Johann, Martin, Clara, Paul, Jan…this is for you!

You did and do the right thing: organizing militant attacks against the capitalist system and all its assholes is important and necessary! Just like organizing to go underground and explore uncontrolled landscapes.

We set off a firebomb under the Audi of Bremen’s Interior Senator Mäurer near his front door on Weidedamm in Findorff, Bremen on July 19, 2023.

It feels like Mäurer has always been the senator for the interior, but for at least 16 years his job has been the unscrupulous implementation of the murderous European and German refugee regulations in the area of the Hanseatic city of Bremen. He was recently reappointed as the city’s chief manhunter for another four years. During his long tenure, he is responsible for thousands of deportations, arrests and imprisonments with all kinds of consequences for those affected. He has always backed murderous cops, such as the killers of Qosay Sadam Khalef and Mohamed Idrissi.
