Saint-Égrève (Isère) France : nocturnal sabotage against cement manufacturer Vicat

Saint-Égrève (Isère): nocturnal sabotage against cement manufacturer Vicat

Rebellyon, December 5, 2023

On the night of December 3 to 4, as part of the days of action against Lafarge and the concrete industry, we decided to take action to stop production at the Vicat cement plant in Saint-Egrève.

If, through this action, we are attacking the entire concrete industry, the choice of Vicat is no accident. Far from the image of a small local company that it tries to promote, Vicat is a concrete giant that produces almost 23 million tonnes of materials every year, with sales of over 3 billion euros. The company has a dozen subsidiaries worldwide, including some in West Africa where, in a dramatic neo-colonial logic, it massively pollutes the water and air.

The company tries to pretend that its intentions are ecologically-minded, for example by highlighting the fact that raw materials are transported by cable car from the Saint-Egrève site – manufactured by POMA, the nuclear gravedigger at Bure. Yet its activities remain among the world’s most emissive, releasing 20 mega tonnes of CO2 per year into the atmosphere, and it has not reduced its emissions in recent years, despite its promises to do so. Beyond these emissions, the company contributes to the destruction of life in many other ways. After selling concrete for the construction of the EPR, and taking part in the artificialization of the soil as part of the Grand Paris project, the company recently acquired the transport company SATM in order to participate directly in the absurd Lyon-Turin construction site.

Early in the morning of October 10. 2023 , in view of municipal elections and a few hours before the speech of the mayor  of Amarousiou area Ambatzoglou who is supported and strengthened by New Democracy, we chose to smash up his political office. That day he celebrated his victory speech with broken windows, something that was buried by the Media.

Pola Roupa:They want to put me back in prison en/gr/it/ (Greece)

Pola Roupa:They want to put me back in prison

On December 13th, almost one month after my release, I have been notified of an appeal by the deputy prosecutor of the court of Appeal of Euboea against the decision to suspend me, asking me to return to prison.  In their appeal, they are asking for the “disappearance” of the verdict of the district court of Thebes that released me from prison.  This is a political move, dictated by the evident political discontent that my liberation has aroused in some power centres.

Based on the logic of this appeal, the arguments and the “evidence” it cites, it goes without saying that no prosecutor would have dealt with it if it had concerned any other prisoner. For example, in his appeal the deputy prosecutor of the court of Appeal of Euboea “criticises”  the “methodology” followed by the council of the district court of Thebes, namely the fact that I was not personally summoned to the council when it was considering my request for a conditional acquittal, while thousands of women have been released from Eleonas prison before me using exactly the same methodology and no prosecutor has ever dealt with any of them.

20 Machines belonging to Brent Scarbrough vandalized (Unites states)

20 Machines belonging to Brent Scarbrough vandalized at Clayton Co. construction site “may be linked to Atlanta public safety training center site”

Just off Tara Boulevard and Poston Road is a construction site full of dirt that the Clayton County Board of Commissioners hopes will bring millions to the city.

Members of the board say when the development is complete it will be a place where the community can live, work, and play.

However, the project temporarily hit a speed bump shortly before Thanksgiving after more than 20 pieces of construction equipment were vandalized.

According to the police chief, a detective on the case reports a contractor whose equipment was damaged also works on the training center, which has allegedly been the impetus for numerous acts of vandalism.

Athens: Responsibility Claim for the Attack on MAT/EKAM HQ in Greece by Armed Proletarian Justice

Armed Proletarian Justice – Communique No.1

On 18/12 armed fighters of our organization approached the Central Camp of MAT (Units for the Reinstatement of Order)/EKAM (Directorate of Police Operations of Attica) in Kokkinopoulou Street and placed a bomb under the sentry post. You were lucky this time, the same will not apply next time. We dedicate our action to those who have been murdered, tortured, beaten and raped by the Greek Police. Armed struggle requires responsibility and political conscience. It is neither a hobby of some extremists nor a fetish of some fantasists. It is a political choice. Our primary concern was, is and will be in the future the protection of any person unrelated to our action. To ensure the safe removal of random passers-by, two warning calls were made where detailed instructions were given to the police. For us – and we stress this – it is of the utmost importance that no innocent person should be harmed in any way. The targets that we chose and will choose in the future – whether material infrastructure of the system or the personnel itself – will be clearly defined as such. We do not want to risk anyone else’s safety. Even if it puts our own security at increased risk. We carry the enormous responsibility that comes with the de facto use of such means of struggle. Period.

In Greece there is a long historical tradition of urban guerrilla organizations. Their action, according to the historical context and the conditions of the period, has always been politically just, targeting the sell-out scum and the infrastructure of the political-economic establishment. With our action, the hollow proclamations of the New Democracy, which at every opportunity proclaims the definitive elimination of the urban guerrilla, have collapsed. We put into question the much advertised doctrine of law and order by targeting the MAT/EKAM headquarters. We will strike again at the right time, targeting the defiant representatives of the rotten political and economic system and their uniformed henchmen. That is, the culprits of the most heinous crimes committed in the name of the state. Next time the uniformed bastards will be facing the barrels of our guns. And that’s no threat. Nor is it a warning. It’s a commitment. We don’t like arrogant grandstanding, but we do like consistency to define our political discourse. This police state relies on the power of guns, and anyone who wants to fight it must hold themselves to the same standard. We throw down the gauntlet and declare that we will speak the same language that the fascists of the Greek police understand; we have taken it on board, as the cops’ guns are blazing.

UK: Letter from anarchist prisoner Toby Shone for comrade Alfredo M. Bonanno

Farewell, Alfredo

I heard today by telephone as the morning winter sun shone through grey clouds into the confines of my cell that our comrade Alfredo Bonanno passed away during sleep surrounded by the love of his close ones. I too send my incendiary embrace to all those who feel his loss and assert that a combative memory will remain.

Alfredo’s contributions to the anarchist movement are undeniable, critical, insightful, and prescient. One of Alfredo’s texts, ‘What are Anarchists?‘ had appeared in an investigation file against me for which I was accused of distributing. His booklet published under the title ‘Locked Up‘ by Elephant Editions is one of the most important documents on the topic of imprisonment in my opinion.

Ritsona camp visit after the wildfire, 10.12.2023

On 10 of December, a group of 8 solidarians visited the Ritsona camp.

Loire/Puy-de-Dôme , France : double attack on Aubert et Duval steelworks, supplier to war industries

Loire/Puy-de-Dôme: double attack on Aubert et Duval steelworks, supplier to war industries

During the night of November 19 to 20, we attacked the power supply of two production sites of the Aubert et Duval corporation:

At Firminy, we sawed through a pylon on the 220kV line supplying the site. It only partially fell.

– In Ancizes-Comps, we also set fire to a 220kV line, at the point where the high-voltage cables went underground. We were able to get close and place our devices at the foot of the sheaths, without harm.

Aubert et Duval is a key player in the French military industry. It supplies parts for Naval Group submarines, Dassault Rafales and Framatom nuclear power plants.

Poster: Stop the massacres!

Poster seen on the walls of Paris (France) and Brussels (Belgium), November 2023.

Once again, war ignites the Palestine-Israel region. A wave of coordinated attacks by Hamas has unleashed a full-scale military operation by the Israeli army. Cold-blooded murder and hostage-taking have been followed by the bombing of entire cities, famine and the deportation of millions of people.

Hamas and Israel. Two regimes with bloodstained hands, which is undeniable. Two military powers that strike indiscriminately. Two authorities who use terror to try to conquer or preserve power – rather like all States, including our own, which do not hesitate to lock up and crush rebels with their laws.

Athens, Greece: Claim for attack on “AB Vasilopoulos” supermarkets

Athens: Claim for attack on “AB Vasilopoulos” supermarkets

In the autumn of 2023, a new labour law of A. Georgiadis was passed. Among other things the law includes : thirteen-hour contracts, zero-hour contracts, the complete abolition of the five-day working week, the illegalization of strikes, as well as the complete liberalization of dismissals, withdrawing any justification for them.

“AB Vassilopoulos” took advantage of the above by firing hundreds of employees the day after the law was passed. Thus, it is clear whose interests these laws really serve.

When we think of Palestine, don’t let’s forget ENI (Italy)

When we think of Palestine, don’t let’s forget ENI

From the Instagram profile of the Young Palestinians in Italy:

In the 2000s the discovery of large natural gas deposits in the eastern Mediterranean area has allowed the zionist entity to reduce energy dependence from abroad and to become an exporter. The most important deposit, Leviathan, is located less than 200 kilometres from the coast of Palestine and Israel hopes that others will be found to increase the reserve and increment exportation to Europe, which since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war is looking for new energy sources. In this optic, on October 29th the minister of Israeli Energy, Israel Katz declared he has granted 12 licences to six companies for the exploration of natural gas off the Mediterranean coast to create more competition and diversify suppliers.

Text of N. Maziotis convicted for the action of the Revolutionary Struggle for the 4th rejection of parole (Greece)

Text of N. Maziotis convicted for the action of the Revolutionary Struggle for the 4th rejection of parole

The last board of misdemeanors of Lamia (29/9/2023) rejected my request (for the 4th time) for parole on the same grounds as the 3 previous ones, i.e. the disciplinary records for which I have been punished in the past have been deleted and should not normally count under the penal code for parole. But this time the board of misdemeanors of Lamia, in the reasoning of the rejection, went a step further than the previous boards by proving that it has the same logic that the institutions of the bribe-taking state, the post-conflict state and the junta used to have, when they asked for statements of repentance and renunciation from fighters as it also proves to have the same logic of the Inquisition.

I am quoting the contested passage of the decision verbatim:

[…] “However, the repeated commission of serious misdemeanors that also constitute criminal offences demonstrates the applicant’s lack of self-discipline and compliance with the basic rules of the penal system, his constant tendency to commit criminal acts and therefore his insufficient imprisonment and the his lack of moral improvement, for the purpose of his conversion and the possibility of his smooth reintegration into society in the event of his release from the detention centre. In addition, during the applicant’s personal appearance at the council remotely, through technological means, the latter showed particularly aggressive behaviour towards the council, as well as complete disrespect for justice and the penal system, and stated that he considers himself a political prisoner, while at the same time, he did not show that he had realized particular disrespect for the criminal acts he had committed.
