Fleurus : cop and military collaborator loses 10 vehicles

[As a reminder, the logistics group UPS (United Parcel Service) is the holder of the North American Department of Defense’s contract to transport packages around the world, and has been for decades (along with FedEx & Polar Air Cargo), making it, for example, the preferred logistician for military personnel at American NATO bases in Europe. It’s also one of the major companies currently donating to the Cop City project in Atlanta; and it’s also a zealous recruiter of US veterans and army reservists, whose “skills” and “values” UPS proudly claims to share in its promotional campaigns].

Fleurus: ten vans set on fire on a company site
Belga/DH, August 16, 2023 (excerpt)

On Tuesday evening, shortly after 11 p.m., firefighters from Jumet and Charleroi (Hainaut-Est zone) were mobilized in Fleurus, on Avenue de l’Espérance, in the zoning area. They were alerted to a van on fire near the hangar of a company [the UPS group’s subcontractor].

Update on Anarchist Alfredo Cospito’s situation and call for solidarity (Italy, August 2023)

Update on Alfredo Cospito’s situation and call for solidarity August 2023

The latest news we’ve got about Alfredo, still in prison in Bancali (Sassari) under the 41 bis regime, are that his health is stable, he is physically sound and has regained weight after his six-month hunger strike. Unfortunately, he receives very little mail, almost none. Also, when the prison withholds letters, postcards or telegrams, often he’s not informed by prison staff.

He thus finds himself subjected to an even higher and more arbitrary censorship than the already harsh one of 41 bis. Let’s not let him lack our solidarity! We urge all to write letters or postcards using registered mail with return receipt requested, to increase the chances that, if they are withheld from him, he will be at least notified.

Against all prisons!

(Chile) Claim for Arson Attack on RED Bus Outside San Miguel Prison

Claim for Arson Attack on RED Bus Outside San Miguel Prison

(communiqué and images received on 6/8/23 to the email informativoanarquista@riseup.net)


Arson attack on RED bus outside San Miguel Prison

When we visualize the face of the enemy, we immediately recognize the prison and its penitentiary system, with all its apparatuses and officials, as a target to destroy since this is where they have historically sought to imprison revolutionary minds and actions.

Both in the past and in the present, we know that our comrades in prison have had to resist constant harassment of their bodies on a daily basis, as the gendarmerie tries to systematically demoralize our comrades in prison through humiliation, punishment, torture, threats to take away their visits or orders in the face of any act that alters the codes of domination within the units.

That is why, by means of a precision attack, we set fire to a RED bus with an efficient incendiary device outside the San Miguel Prison, aiming to disrupting the passivity that wafts through the streets, throughout this society that surveilles and controls behavior, longing for submission and building a false belief in the impossibility of fighting it.

A special greeting to comrade Mónica Caballero, who is in a new trial against her together with Francisco Solar for several explosive attacks against repressors and powerful people. Insurrectional solidarity with Mónica and Francisco!

Vert-le-Petit (Essonne): sabotage of the electrical network at a nuclear and weapons hot spot (Northern France)

“The cables are under the pylons”.

Indymedia Lille, July 25, 2023

Some thirty kilometers south of Paris, in the Essonne region of France, in the commune of Vert-le Petit, lies the Centre d’étude du Bouchet, one of the world’s leading nuclear and armaments sites.

It was here in 1820 that the Poudrerie Nationale du Bouchet was created, and during the First World slaughter, 5,000 workers produced huge quantities of gunpowder and ammunition for the front line.

From 1920 to 1940, although it did not stop manufacturing conventional munitions altogether, the plant focused much of its activity on new technologies linked to the possibility of a conflict involving chemical, biological and bacteriological processes.

Ingolstadt (Germany): two army trucks aflame

Ingolstadt : two army trucks aflame

In the town of Ingolstadt, on the banks of the Danube halfway between Nuremberg and Munich (Bavaria), the German army has no problem outsourcing some of the services it needs. Like, for example, the maintenance of its expensive vehicles. In the middle of summer, two Iveco military trucks were parked at a car dealership on Münchener Strasse, waiting to resume their dirty work.

Except, as it happens, there was a problem, and not an accidental one. According to an official police report, “criminals attempted to set fire to the vehicles between July 20 and August 3”. And the local press added: “The criminal police found evidence that the trucks had been intentionally set on fire”, one of the consequences of which was to involve the military police (Feldjäger) in the investigation.

Operation ”Scripta Scelera” against the fortnightly “Bezmotivny”: first initiatives in solidarity, a brief update, some observations

In the early morning of Tuesday, August 8th, a repressive operation – ridiculously named Scripta Scelera (these fine people always come up with some “ambitious” or suggestive name for their operations) [Latin: “written crimes”] – was unleashed by the State’s repressive apparatus in various cities. It was aimed at shutting down the anarchist internationalist fortnightly magazine “Bezmotivny”, thereby striking the action of publication of analysis and reflection as well as, and in particular, texts claiming actions, sabotage and initiatives of attack undertaken by anarchists and revolutionaries throughout the world against the State and capital.

Let’s take a brief look at the facts. Mainly involving anarchist comrades in Carrara and the “Gogliardo Fiaschi” Anarchist Cultural Circle, the operation consisted of notification of an investigation against 10 comrades, all of whom were subjected to house searches (as well as that against the above-mentioned anarchist circle), and significant seizures of newspapers and various publications. Concerning the 10 under investigation (for whom Genovese public prosecutor Manotti twice requested their arrest in prison), the judge for the preliminary investigations ordered house arrest with all restrictions (including electronic ankle bracelets, which were not applied due to lack of the necessary equipment) for four of the comrades, a night curfew from 19.00 to 7am for another five, while one comrade has no restrictions (at the police station they notified him of a two years’ compulsory expulsion order from the province of La Spezia). One of the comrades under house arrest was initially taken to prison on order of the same prosecutor, due to the fact that he did not have a certificate of residence. In the context of the operation, a printing press in Avenza, where the paper had recently been printed, was also shut down (and later re-opened).

Against the repression against anarchists in Indonesia

Poster – solidarity call Indonesia vengeance 

Against the repression against anarchists in Indonesia

In the past few years we have seen a massive crackdown on anarchist individuals and cells by the State. Though in some cases it was arbitrary arrests of individuals, the recent state-sponsored studies on anarchist activity in Indonesia has been brought to our attention.

It is because of these reasons and also to secure our comrades that are already targeted by the State that we need better infrastructure of resistance in this era of social control and surveillance. The necessity of this proposed solidarity infrastructure is part of our continual revolt against the state and its apparatus. We are not paranoid or overwhelmed by fear, in fact the opposite, we want to strike harder than before and we want to get better at storming the heavens.

Call for revolutionary solidarity with anarchist comrades in Indonesia

Again the repressive international security state moves against the
anarchist tendencies who fight to establish and maintain their existence as a threat to the system. The anarchists in Indonesia who are principled enough to put their words into actions are our comrades in struggle. In an increased atmosphere of anti-anarchist repression against the movement in Indonesia, alongside the criminalization of the Anarchist Black Cross group there, we call for international solidarity and closer contact for mutual aid and common projects, to aid anarchists under repression and help support anarchist infrastructures.

Call for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2023 // 23 – 30 August

The world is on fire. The climate crisis is getting worse and worse. Instead of masks against Covid-19, people now have to wear masks against smoke from forest fires. At the same time huge areas getting flooded due to heavy rain caused by the ongoing pollution of the environment. Nothing of that is caused by individual decisions of the people. It is not cause by buying the wrong product in the supermarket. It is caused by the systematic exploitation of nature and humanity. Governments and big corporations are the ones steering us into a climate catastrophe that, at this point, seems to be unstoppable.

Governments and big corporations that created a world where wealthy people are more important than others. This was especially visible while the global media had nothing better to do than talking for 5 days about a missing submarine filled with 5 rich people, while hundreds of others are dying in the mediterranean sea during their try to get chances for a better life.

Munich (Germany): fire on the site of the science park subway

 Fire on the site of the science park subway

Although he spent the last ten years of his life in Paris, it is often forgotten in the grey French capital that the famous painter Vassily Kandinsky began his pictorial studies in Germany. More precisely, in Munich, at the foot of the Bavarian Alps. From this early period of one of the future founders of abstract art, we often remember the painting Der blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider, 1903), which also became the name of the expressionist circle in which he participated a bit later on, and inevitably more rarely his painting entitled München-Planegg I (1901), which depicts a more classical country landscape.

Between Oceans, Forests and Volcanoes: collection gathers texts from the Mapuche resistance in the territories under the domination of the Chilean state.

From Rupture – Multilingual Anarchist Distro

Between Oceans, Forests and Volcanoes

Amulepe taiñ weichan / The struggle continues

In the territories home to the Mapuche communities — whose lands have been seized by capitalist investors, disfigured by loggers, ravaged by energy companies, polluted by industrialists and colonized by accomplices of the Chilean state — the last few decades have been marked by unrelenting struggle.

The radical Mapuche struggle inspires us for its continuity, for its categorical rejection of all state interference, for its relentless fight against exploitation and capitalist plundering, and for its choice of direct action against extractivism and the devastation of the land and the living.

Action Against Luxury MTL Real Estate Agency (Canada)

Action Against Luxury MTL Real Estate Agency

July 1st is moving day in Montreal. It’s always chaotic, but with the threat of Bill 31 rent reforms the situation may become far worse.

We are told there is a housing crisis, a term used to avoid naming those responsible. Why is housing scarce, unsafe, expensive, and precarious in Montreal?

Greedy landlords who renovict, charge damage deposits and “finder’s fees” to maximise profits.
To avoid rental laws and increase profit landlords convert housing into short-term rentals (e.g. Airbnb). This caused several deaths in the spring.
New housing is built for investors, not residents. While low-income housing is “impossible”, dozens of towers with luxury housing are built, units sold to investors just to sit empty and appreciate in value.

Switch off – Call for revolt.

Switch off – Call for revolt

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.

We should also be aware that we cannot completely prevent the gradual collapse of a massively damaged ecosystem. Nor the loss of biodiversity. Nor the depletion of resources. We will not be able to prevent the climate catastrophe, because we are already in the middle of it. Admitting this – without any doomsday pathos – does not paralyze us. On the contrary, it should open up, for us and our contexts, the question of what our lives and our revolutionary struggles might look like in the future.

Berlin (Germany): fire at the antenna of a technology park

Berlin : fire at the antenna of a technology park

Relay antenna arsoned in Berlin-Wuhlheide
From de.indymedia, August 7, 2023

Often, certain actions seek a media echo and are therefore planned accordingly. We don’t know why none of the media have reported on our act so far. It’s puzzling, and it would be interesting to know whether there is some kind of silencing imposed by the forces of order or politics (?) to prevent the dissemination of such opportunities for action (?). It’s doubtful that acts of sabotage attract no media interest, but we can only speculate in this regard.

Our real motivation for our project, however, is not media attention, but concrete attack and destruction. That’s why we placed three time-delay incendiary devices under the cables, the computer cabinet and the electrical distribution cabinet of the antenna. This happened on the night of August 3, 2023.

Modane (Savoie): arson attack on the Lyon-Turin high-speed train construction site

Five pieces of construction equipment were damaged by an arson attack on Saturday July 29 in Modane, Savoie. Around 11 p.m., some fifteen firefighters were mobilized to the scene of the incident, a site belonging to the French-Italian state-owned company Telt (Tunnel euralpin Lyon Turin), which is responsible for building the Lyon-Turin rail link.

Bangs from exploding machine tires were heard. The Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne Gendarmerie, in charge of the investigation, said there was no doubt that the fire was deliberate. Four points of ignition were identified on wooden pallets placed under the burnt-out vehicles.
