Shortly after 2am on Christmas day the sound of explosions woke up confused residents in Vernon BC. Could the sound be Santa stuck in the chimney? Or him trying to get his sled back on the road? Continue reading Vehicle fire at Kia dealership in Vernon ( BC,Canada)

Balan (Ain): Sabotage against the plastic granule chemical platform
Claim of responsibility for sabotage of the chemical plant in Balan, Ain
On the night of October 5, we resorted to sabotage in an attempt to shut down toxic production at the chemical plant in Balan, Ain, by striking its upstream power supply.
Drawing inspiration from actions aimed at cutting off energy to industries throughout France and elsewhere, we set fire to the high-voltage cables that run from the La Boisse substation to the platform. Inside the electrical substation, the cables emerge from the ground (insulated in sheaths) and climb up the pylons. This is where it is possible to set them on fire without major risk, causing a short circuit and cutting off the power.

Federal Judge in Prairieland ICE Detention Center Protest Case Fines Defense Attorneys Five Hundred Dollars Each After Filing Motion to Compel Discovery, Suggests Defendants Take Pleas
20 January 2026
Accused anarchist comrade Eat, in the Chaos Star case, has been released from the West Java paramilitary police compound to house/city arrest. Eat is expected to be watched closely by the Densus88 antiterrorist unit. Comrades and lawyers went to meet him and take him to get nutrition, medicine and rest. Eat remains under investigation and the case is still open. Here’s what Eat’s lawyer had to say about his status:
‘Eat was release by operation of law because the detention period during the investigation stage had expired and could not be extended. However, this release is temporary, as the legal process is still ongoing. The case is currently awaiting transfer from the prosecutor’s office. If it proceeds to the prosecution stage, Eat may be detained again and transferred to Kebon Waru Detention Center for trial.
From a substantive standpoint, Eat actually has a legal advantage in this case. The charges and the investigation report do not meet the required legal elements, particularly those related to incitement. There is no clear evidence of any direct call or instruction to organize or carry out last year’s protest, as alleged. because of this, the prosecutors themselves are hesitant to move the case forward to court.’
This hesitation has also influenced the investigator’s decision not to pursue a second case involving Eat and another named comrade. We thank everyone for their solidarity and support. Without international pressure, we do not believe that Eat would have been released.
Nothing is over. Eat could be re-arrested. There are another 73 accused anarchists and hundreds of prisoners of the uprising still detained. Yet this is a major success, since the Densus88 wanted to scapegoat Eat as the organizational figurehead and leader of the fake Chaos Star network and of the insurrection itself.
Please remain attentive to the health condition and legal process of Eat and that of the other prisoners. Anarchist comrade Dena remains in the West Java compound, and is also ill from lack of HIV medication. Take action and donate to Palang Hitam/ABC Indonesia. We don’t have enough support to adequately provide infrastructure to such a large number of prisoners at a time when the anarchist movement is under attack in Indonesia. To donate, contact Dark Nights, IWOC UK or any long-running established ABC group.***
Fire to the prisons!

***Correction of Act for Freedom Now!
In a mistaken version of this communication of Palang Hitam/ABC posted on the website of another project, Act for Freedom Now! was cited as a contact for the purpose of sending donations. This is an error.
Act for Freedom Now! is an anarchist project of counterinformation and though it seeks to publicise and spread the means of support to persecuted comrades (and this is emphatically the case when it comes to the comrades of the “Chaos Star” case) it cannot be considered part of an anti-repression umbrella which maintains the relevant contacts and means. It follows that Act for Freedom Now! does not posses the means to get the donations to Palang Hitam, or any other anti-repression fund.
The way to find this is as always is to consult the specific means comrades choose to establish for this purpose (in this case this appears to be to contact “Dark Nights, IWOC UK and long-running established ABC group[s]”)

This compilation is coming together in a moment when it feels that many anarchist ideas are losing their meanings. Dragged out of anarchy into leftism or activism, drained of their radical content. Mutual aid is giving away supplies, direct action is a more aggressive form of begging, anti-fascism is reduced to publishing personal details about our enemies, attack is left to gather dust or spectacularized as a social media aesthetic.
Lining up anarchist ideas and practices is not always easy, which is no reason to lower the bar. It’s with this in mind that it felt useful to
compile these articles, to clarify just how radical anarchist ideas
really are, to encourage people to keep imagining and moving toward absolute hostility with authority and anarchic relations with everyone else.
Unexpected Items – Issue 1 – for printing
Editorial:
Economy, progress, security. It is impossible to imagine the quality and quantity of human life which is sacrificed every moment to this bloodthirsty and meaningless triad. Financial and data-driven advancement for its own sake has achieved dictatorship over our world, not by reasoned persuasion or inspiration or enthusiasm, but by omni-resignation and perma-policing. The economy must grow, technological progress must extend, and both of these must be secured by means of militarised controls, from everyday surveillance to ‘emergency laws’ to the tonnes of explosive material dumped from planes and drones on the latest inconveniently-located population.

[Note of Sans Nom: On Saturday, January 3, at around 6:30 a.m. in Berlin, the “Volcan group: Cutting off the power to those in power” set fire to several cables at the fossil fuel power plant in Lichterfelde. This resulted in the interruption of electricity supply to 2,200 businesses and 45,000 households (i.e., 100,000 people) in various upscale neighborhoods in the southwest of the German capital (Lichterfelde, Zehlendorf, Nikolassee, Wannsee). Specifically, five 110,000-volt (high-voltage) cables and ten 10,000-volt (medium-voltage) cables were destroyed by this arson attack, at the point where they crossed the Teltow Canal on a dedicated footbridge, disconnecting the “electricity” part of the gas power plant from the Berlin grid, while its “district heating” section remained intact. The municipal operator Stromnetz Berlin immediately resorted to workarounds to restore power to 7,000 homes and 150 priority businesses, while announcing that the complete (and temporary) restoration of the network would not be effective until next Thursday, January 8. On Tuesday evening, nearly 25,500 homes and 1,220 businesses were still without power in what was described as “the worst terrorist attack ever perpetrated against critical infrastructure in the capital” by one of Berlin’s leading newspapers (Berliner Zeitung, January 6).
It should also be noted that, taking advantage of the blackout among the wealthy, several expropriations took place: between Saturday and Monday evening, the authorities recorded seven successful burglaries/robberies and 13 attempted burglaries/robberies, targeting villas, supermarkets, and ATMs, prompting them to deploy 450 additional police officers and a helicopter equipped with thermal cameras and searchlights in these neighborhoods every night. On Sunday, the regional interior minister (SPD) declared a state of emergency, facilitating the intervention of the army and federal police. In terms of cell phone towers being knocked out, Vodafone announced that 27 sites (out of 39) were down, Telekom reported 17 sites (out of 29) affected, and O2 counted 18. Two days later, cell phone coverage returned to southwestern Berlin, but remains in degraded mode. The same was true for the S-Bahn lines (S1 and S7) and the regional express train (RE7), all of which were interrupted because their signal boxes were also without power. And to top it all off, around 20 schools will also remain closed until Wednesday.
Recall that in March 2024, a group called “Volcan: EteindreTesla!” claimed responsibility for setting fire to a high-voltage pylon in Berlin supplying the company’s Gigafactory, while in September 2025 “a few anarchists” had already caused a partial blackout in the German capital during the anti-militarist sabotage of a pylon supplying Europe’s largest technology park.

This is a global call to action against the copper-mine currently under construction in Riehpovuotna (called “Repparfjord” by the colonizers), in Norwegian-occupied Sápmi.
1. WHAT IS THIS?
This is a global call to action against the copper-mine currently under construction in Riehpovuotna (called “Repparfjord” by the colonizers), in Norwegian-occupied Sápmi.The Canadian company Blue Moon Metals (BMM) – full owner of the mine’s operator Nussir ASA – is actively involved in the colonization of Sámi ancestral lands through the construction of two copper and precious metals mines in the region. This is part of a rapid expansion of corporate extractivism stemming from the EU’s Critical Minerals Act, as the “Nussir mine” has been named a “Strategic Project,” allowing for large land grabs and cutting through any environmental or Indigenous land protection under the banner of a so-called “Green Transition”. More information on the history of the land and the numerous Sámi-led struggles, can be found in the later sections.
2. WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Besides the Nussir copper-gold-silver project, BMM is currently advancing two other brownfield polymetallic projects, Nye Sulitjelma Gruver (NSG) copper-zinc-gold-silver project in Norway and the BMM zinc-gold-silver-copper project in California. All 3 projects are located within existing local infrastructure including roads, power grids, railways, and/or previous extractivist projects. This makes them desireable for investors, but also more easily accessible for those who wish to intervene.

During the night of October 8-9, 2025, we set fire to the electrical cabinet of a railway signaling system between the Mézidon-Canon and Caen stations, in the Paris-Caen direction.
The aim of our action was to disrupt rail traffic between Paris and Caen in order to prevent
the smooth running of the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which took place at the University of Caen on Thursday, October 9. We wanted to cause train delays and cancellations to disrupt the arrival of speakers at this day of pro-technology propaganda and upset the daily routine of the established order.
The sabotage worked well, as the media reported delays on the Paris-Caen-Paris line throughout Thursday, in both directions, due to a fire that “put the signaling system out of service.”

During the night of Sunday to Monday, October 27, two fires ravaged sensitive infrastructure not far from the TGV station in Valence (Drôme).
The first act of sabotage targeted the Barris quarry, near the Saint-Marcel-lès-Valence railway line, at around 3:30 a.m.: five construction machines (a 50-ton hydraulic excavator, a 40-ton loader, and three articulated trucks) went up in smoke, as did the building that housed the production plant. The Cheval public works group, which specializes in the extraction of aggregates used in concrete manufacturing, believes that “the separate and distant locations of [three] fires lead us to believe that this was not an accident,” and estimates the damage at five to six million euros. In addition, the destruction of the aggregate production plant by fire will result in the cessation of this activity for “at least six months,” lamented the company’s president.

From emergency services to traffic management, a fire in a single electric battery has brought South Korea to a standstill
A fire in an electric battery has just paralyzed hundreds of public services across the country. The fire was spotted on the evening of Friday, September 26. It started in one of the lithium electric batteries that power the South Korean government’s large data center (NIRS), located in Daejeon, in the center of the country. This center is essentially the digital backbone of the administration. Imagine large air-conditioned buildings filled with servers and computers. This is where much of the population’s information is stored, which is necessary for the functioning of online public services, as well as financial services and the postal service.

With the holiday season fast approaching, fiery festivities struck the Island Gospel Church in Burns Lake on December 20th. When fire crews arrived they found the majority of the building engulfed in flames. The fire has been deemed an arson, with damages estimated to be over five million dollars. This is not the first arson targeting the church and we can be sure that it wont be the last.
Since the 2021 discovery of mass unmarked graves of indigenous children at former residential schools, waves of anonymous unclaimed attacks against churches have spread over the territory controlled by the Canadian state. As of early 2025, at least 85 churches have been reported as vandalized, roughly 50 of which were arsons. Some more generous estimates suggest nearly 120 churches have been vandalized in one way or another.

As the genocide in Gaza enters its final phase, complicit arms dealers are more active than ever.
Thales, which has been supplying Israeli killer drones with guidance systems for years, and which supplies armies around the world with drones, missiles, armored vehicles, and electronic systems, is currently building a huge campus in Meudon-la-Forêt. A stone’s throw from the existing Hélios 1 site in Vélizy, “Hélios 2” will accommodate 2,500 employees working on aeronautical equipment for civil and military use.
