Germany: plenty of good reasons to sabotage the rail network!

[On Sunday night, July 29, a double sabotage of cables along railroad lines in Bremen and Hamburg paralyzed some of Germany’s high-speed trains. This attack was already published about here, to which we must now add another identical sabotage in Berlin on Thursday night, August 1, at around 3 a.m., in the Charlottenburg district. According to the German railway company Deutsche Bahn, several switches and signals are out of order between Berlin’s main station and Berlin-Spandau, following the arson of several meters of cable on a bridge, causing hundreds of cancellations and delays to both regional and high-speed trains, which will last at least through the weekend.

On August 2, a communiqué was published on de.indymedia claiming responsibility for the attacks on the railway network in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin, which we translate from the German here, and which sends greetings to the unexpected delegation and saboteurs who successively lit the Olympic flame in the cable shafts of the SNCF, then in those of the internet network and cell towers…

Attacking Deutsche Bahn infrastructure – sabotaging war and colonialism

This week, incendiary attacks on the infrastructure of Deutsche Bahn took place in Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin. The breakdowns caused by these attacks will hopefully create effective interruptions in the capitalist routine. Like no other company, the state-owned railway corporation is the backbone and vital arteries of the German economy, providing the fuel that feeds and drives it: every day, tons of raw materials plundered from all over the world are transported by rail via its freight branch, DB Cargo, to the workshops and factories of the major steel, chemical and automotive industries, to satisfy this society’s insatiable appetite for consumer goods and construction materials.

At the same time, we are in the midst of a vast process of transformation, from the age of fossil fuels to a highly technological, electrified world, which the Federal Government is selling to us under the misleading term “energy transition”. Deutsche Bahn logistics plays a key role in this process. For example, it is currently developing transport solutions for hydrogen and lithium batteries to stimulate the development of a “green” economy in Germany, and make the country attractive to companies wishing to locate and invest in new technologies. Tesla’s gigafactory in Berlin-Grünheide is perhaps the best-known and most controversial example to date of this deceptive folly. It goes hand in hand with the emergence and expansion of extractivist projects and new transport routes for coveted resources such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, copper or silicon – essential for supposedly sustainable technologies – from mines to processing plants and production sites. While politics and industry hope for new markets and lucrative business, this development means one thing above all for the planet: progress towards its widespread destruction. Now, with its green label and in the name of climate protection, Deutsche Bahn is at the forefront of this movement.

(Chile) Communique of Anarco-Nihilist Vegan Straight Edge Prisoners of the Susaron Case

September 5, 2024

(Note from Informativo Anarquista) It’s important that the words of incarcerated comrades abandon the exclusivity of Instagram. Dozens of communiques or words are lost in the immediacy of the excessive virtual “content creation” of social networks. It’s paradoxical that comrades who are processed, incarcerated and who have taken responsibility for actions that were already claimed through anarchist counterinformation pages can only be heard and seen on social media, to the detriment of anarchist projects resolved in their commitment to internationalist dialogues. Has a vacuum been created between action claims and the words of incarcerated comrades, and are these valued differently? Can it be that the former has a routine space in counterinformation projects, while the latter have a monopoly on Instagram? We invite you to break the walls of the social networks.

ENG (translated):

“In the early hours of the World day for the end of Speciesism, four animal liberation front volunteers sneaked into an egg farm and liberated twelve chickens that now live free and safe in different homes owned by vegan people.

‘The wet and cold night was our accomplice. After having reccied the location we cut the fence to get access, we crossed the farm and approached one of the most accessible barns in the farm. There, chickens slept inside of cages, with shit tiles of shit almost reaching their deformed legs, with their combs and nails destroyed. We couldn’t liberate all and we know that other hens will fill in the gaps, but at least these 12 will never be exploited again. Today they can open their wings, stretch their legs, run, jump and breathe in freedom.

Your grief over your damaged “property” is a source of amusement to us. You are not businessmen, you are murderers of millions of animals. Thousands of animals die every day in squalid conditions for the taste of their flesh, offering incalculable profits to the bosses. Sentient beings who can feel every emotion that we feel are treated as the raw material of capitalist production.

In a world where the extermination of the defenceless (animals) is the norm, we refuse to be a part of it. We refuse to stand by, we fight with fire.

August, North UK : TURKEY FARM ENCLOSURE DESTROYED, FOX TRAP BASHED.

Received anonymously via email:

“We have been paying attention to a particular scummy farmer who among other abuses likes to murder turkeys and sell their corpses for Christmas. They also, like many farmers, love to trap and shoot foxes. It doesn’t seem to matter how many mammal traps they find broken into pieces and strewn across the fields, they keep getting more.

This farmer had recently got themselves a new massive fox trap and placed it, ready for future use, in the enclosure they planned to put the turkeys in once they grew a bit larger.

Switch Off! The System Of Destruction : Rail Bridge Set on Fire, Oregon, USA

The target was a Portland and Western Railroad bridge/trestle over the Willamette River between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie, Oregon.

DE/FR/GR

We will respond to the civilization that destroys the earth and the possibility of free life with destruction in turn.

“The track is closed to railroad traffic at this time.”

“ P&W (PNWR) traffic will be rerouted for quite a while, so Cornelius Pass may see a lot more action for a long time.”

“There is some structural damage to the trestle, which is operated by P&W Railroad.”

PNWR has a diverse traffic base based on carload commodities. Woodchips, paper, agricultural goods, and aggregates are all major sources of traffic. Primary amongst the road’s over 135
customers are Stimson Lumber Company, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Georgia Pacific, and Hampton Lumber Sales. The rail also transports Oil from Exxon Mobile, Asphalt, and petroleum
products. Rail is a primary method of transportation of materials for the industry that makes war possible.

The industrial activity responsible for climate collapse has no real interest in stopping its devastation but instead insists on pretending to be environmentally friendly and using terms such as “green energy”, with new sources of extractive energy that are still harmful to ecosystems and our lives; And above all, with the clarity that each of us are the only ones who can combat the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth, adding our initiative and action to the internationalist campaign.

(Chile) Switch Off! Campaign Claim of Incendiary Attack on “Melon” Cement Factory and “Río Maipo Aggregates”

Switch Off! Campaign Claim of Incendiary Attack on “Melon” and “Río Maipo Aggregates” Cement Factory. (August 3. San Juan de Llolleo Sector, Valparaíso Region, Chile).

“We are the debris piles and the grains of sand in the gears of a machine which advances inexorably and with heavy steps. We are factors of disruption in the machine room”.

– Volcano Group

The night of Saturday, August 3, accompanied by the forces of the river, we decided to attack the “Melon” Cement factory and the “Río Maipo Aggregates S.A.” company.(1) located in the surroundings of the mouth of the Maipo River. We aimed to paralyze their functioning, entering both premises and igniting their lines of production, logistics and administrative offices using 10 incendiary devices, leading to the total destruction of the facilities of the location, and so consolidating our third act of sabotage with significant damage to factories that prey on and threaten the life along the Maipo River. This act returns part of the decades of harm that they have caused to the land and the environments in which they operate, as a way of contributing to the struggle against devastation. To the destruction of the earth and our lives, the only way we can respond with dignity is through the total destruction of that which destroys it.

Berlin (Germany): “Bauer AG” drilling crane set on fire for its participation in THE LINE

 “Bauer AG” drilling crane set on fire for its participation in THE LINE

Bauer AG is a highly specialized civil engineering company which, through its involvement in gigantic infrastructure and construction projects all over the world, is complicit in the destruction of habitats and the expulsion of their inhabitants. The advance of Bauer AG’s drills and diggers into the most remote parts of the planet never bodes well, and often heralds the end of the diversity of flora and fauna in favor of a gray misery of steel and concrete.

“What we do today determines what tomorrow’s world will look like”.

This seemingly innocuous statement by the CEO of Bauer AG represents a serious threat to everything that doesn’t fit in with the Western idea of progress, or doesn’t want to submit to it. For wherever the much-vaunted conquests of civilization extend, there always arises a colonial mentality that wants to quantify every living thing in terms of its utility, and is obsessed with the will to dominate and control the wild and the unpredictable. But it doesn’t always go unanswered. Recently in Canada, the staunch opposition of the Wet’suwet’en nation to the Coastal GasLink pipeline, which once again crosses their territory, has drawn attention to Bauer AG’s involvement in this crime. But Bauer AG is not interested in any of that. It prides itself on being responsible and sustainable, reducing its environmental impact and carbon footprint through innovative solutions and digitalization.

About the coordinated sabotage against the fiber optic network in the middle of the Olympics.

While the SNCF is just beginning to recover from the sabotage against the high-speed train network, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games don’t seem to be at the end of their troubles, as a new “massive sabotage” occurred on Sunday night (July 29), this time striking the long-distance fiber optic network (the backbone).

Between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., the digital highways of the fiber-optic network were deliberately cut in at least ten départements (Ain, Aude, Ardèche, Drôme, Hérault, Bouches-du-Rhône, Oise, Marne, Meuse, Vaucluse), with far-reaching consequences, since the section of these cables in the long-distance network of infrastructure operator SFR affected many other telecoms operators. These include Free, Bouygues, Orange (telecoms provider for the Paris 2024 Olympics), TDF, OVH, SFR, Netalis, Axione, as well as Vodafone, British telecom and Colt (British operator serving 28 European countries).

By Tuesday July 30, the official estimate was that 195 cell towers had been affected by sabotage, and at least 17 departments had experienced problems ranging from internet outages to higher-than-usual latency (including Oise, Bouches-du-Rhône, Meuse, Drôme, Aude, Hérault, Seine-et-Marne, Essonne, Ain, Allier, Vendée, Ardèche, Loire, Creuse and Lot-et-Garonne). And to illustrate what high latency means, i.e. a severe slowdown in the Internet connection, a geek posted on a specialized site the route taken by his data packets: “To do Lyon (Orange network) <> Roubaix (OVH data center), the data goes: Lyon → Marseille → Singapore → Canada → London → Roubaix”…

Germany: double sabotage on the Bremen-Hamburg railway line

Was it an anonymous nod to the unexpected delegation that brought much of France’s rail traffic to a standstill a few hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, or was it a happy coincidence? In any case, a few days later, on the night of Sunday to Monday July 29, a double sabotage attack paralyzed part of Germany’s high-speed rail network.

The first fire occurred at around 4 a.m. in Bremen’s Bürgerpark district, igniting a shaft of cables along the track. The second fire, which occurred the same night, involved cables of a railroad near Hamburg, 150 kilometers away. Conclusion for the two major industrial and commercial cities in northern Germany? ICE high-speed trains between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg were unable to reach Bremen’s main station, while long-distance trains from the southwest to Hamburg were also diverted. The same was true of the regional rail operator metronom, whose trains experienced long delays and partial cancellations throughout the day.

AGAINST THE COALMINE AND ITS WORLD : HAMBI WILL NEVER SURRENDER! [ENG/DEU] (4.8.24) (Germany)

—————————–

AGAINST THE COALMINE AND ITS WORLD:
HAMBI WILL NEVER SURRENDER!

Georg Gelhausen is the name of the mayor of Merzenich, a CDU politician foolish enough to think that much of the Hambacher Forest (a.k.a. one of Europe’s biggest autonomous zones, still squatted after more than 12 years) lies within his jurisdiction. He and some environmental minister had invited themselves to the forest for 23.7.24, allegedly to gather information on how to best protect the forest – ironically, a habitat (less than 10% of which still remains) that Georg’s administration green-lit being utterly destroyed by RWE back in 2018.

More moderate attempts to establish the state’s authority had already been made here, through proposals to clear gravel from the forest paths, to establish official meeting points for the emergency services, or even to kindly remove one of our strongest barricades (an oak tree which fell across one of the main access points to the forest). His insistence on visiting on July 23rd represented an escalation in his strategy, given his threat that, if we would maintain our cheerful legacy of making politicians unwelcome in these woods, he would be required to take “security measures” – in other words to bring the cops.

The night before the occassion, however, dear Georg cancelled his picnic, along with an additional four visits he had scheduled for the next week, having learnt that we would not be rolling out a carpet for him.[1] Instead we had been up late freshly erecting barricades – which neither the cops nor RWE’s security forces made it through that day.

About the coordinated sabotage of TGV lines a few hours before the Olympic Games.

Vandières (Meurthe-et-Moselle), July 26, 2024. Fiber optic cables set on fire during coordinated sabotage of the TGV network.

On the night of Thursday July 25 to Friday July 26, just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, high-speed train (TGV) lines were attacked in all directions leading to the capital. A “massive, coordinated attack to paralyze the network”, as many newspapers headlined. On Friday alone, “250,000 customers” were affected by these acts of sabotage, and “almost 800,000 over the weekend”, according to the rail company. “Through the SNCF, it’s a part of France that’s being attacked, and it’s the French people who are being attacked”, SNCF boss Jean-Pierre Farandou immediately declared, while denouncing the saboteurs as “a bunch of kooks, irresponsible people”. For her part, Sports Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castera couldn’t contain her anger: “These are the Games for athletes who have been dreaming of them for years and who are fighting for the Holy Grail of climbing these podiums, and we’re going to sabotage that for them! Playing against the Games is playing against France, it’s playing against your side, it’s playing against your country.”

In the Nord region, the TGV network was sabotaged at Croisilles, near Arras (Pas-de-Calais), cutting off international rail traffic to London, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. In the east, the network was cut off at two separate points: between the Meuse TGV station and Lamorville (Meuse), and between Pagny-sur-Moselle and Vandières (Meurthe-et-Moselle). To the west, the line was cut at Vald’Yerre, near Courtalain (Eure-et-Loire), affecting both the direction to Brittany (Rennes, etc.) and Gironde (Bordeaux, etc.). And on the South-East line (Paris-Lyon-Marseille), an attempt at sabotage took place at Vertigny (Yonne), which apparently failed after the saboteurs were surprised “by railwaymen who were carrying out maintenance operations during the night”, leading the gendarmes to get their hands on “incendiary devices” which had not been ignited and were immediately sent to the lab.

Map of sabotage on high-speed lines on the night of July 25-26, 2024 (Le Monde)

Furthermore, in the Paris suburbs, also concerning the network to the west, an overhead power line was ripped down between Montparnasse station and Vanves-Malakoff (Hauts-de-Seine) by a TGV train that tried to use a more conventional line that wasn’t designed for it (Transilien’s N), further aggravating the consequence of the sabotage… which, for the SNCF, means an incident “linked to the malicious acts committed on the Atlantic high-speed line”. As for the background, its CEO deplored “the obvious desire to cut Paris off from its main high-speed lines just before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games”, in a press conference held on Saturday July 27.

All in all, this pre-Olympic summer night was officially marked by five targeted sites across France, with four successful sabotages and one thwarted, between 1am and 5.30am. Each time, fiber optic cables were severed or set on fire, in small channels running along the tracks, and located not far from signal boxes coordinating important nodes of rail traffic, where the tracks split in several directions. “With [such] a fire, we’re actually losing two branches of the network each time”, explained SNCF Réseau boss Matthieu Chabanel (Le Figaro, 26/7). Indeed, these now burnt-out cables control the switch motors, but are also used to transmit information to the signaling stations. As soon as the signaling or switch control cables were damaged, cut or burned, the systems immediately went into red light mode,” explains Vincent Téton, Deputy Director General of Operations and Production at SNCF Réseau, who is also in charge of crisis management coordination. “Trains running on the affected tracks then stopped automatically”. (Le Parisien, 27/7).

Berlin (Germany): fire to the cell towers of technological progress and militarization

[On the night of Saturday to Sunday, July 7, two cell towers went up in smoke in Berlin. One of them was located in the Tempelhof district, more precisely in the aptly named Attilastraße, where the fire was reported at around 2am. The tower was located on the site of a cell phone operator, and the State Protection Service (Staatsschutz) was in charge of the investigation. The following day, a claim was published on de.indymedia].

Attack on militarization and spectacle / Attack on two cell towers

Yesterday, cell towers were set on fire at two different locations in Berlin.

This action is a contribution to the struggle against technology, militarization and domination.

In recent years, we have become accustomed to being surrounded by more and more cell towers, which have become part of our environment. These antennae and the cell phone network are essential to enable the digitization of our lives, to realize the Smart City and to develop (military) technology and social control in general.
