Bristol, UK: CCTV cameras and solar panels destroyed at GRC Security protected site

Posted on by ellipsism

28th April 2025

We chose a soft target, a warm up to bigger things. Easy like throwing a dart into a grapefruit!

Around Bristol G.R.C. Security (now linked to Cava Security) have been pissing off travellers for quite a few years, carrying out common law evictions, using their bulk weight violence, the law and threats of fire. So one place they guard and partol is the old mounted police and dog section, now owned by the Caravan Club, which is situated on Clanage Rd., Bower, Ashton at the foot of the Clifton suspension bridge. It was really easy to scale the perimeter fence with identity concealed, then finding a long plank of wood to batter the CCTV cameras and solar panels.

Also a little dickie bird whispered on the ‘grapefruit’ vine that at the Brandon Hill ‘old’ cop shop eviction one of Cava Security’s vehicles lost some air from their tyres. Keep your eyes open for those dart boards!

Long Live Vandalism!

Le Malesherbois (Loiret) France : sabotage of high-voltage power line

Sabotage of high-voltage power line

“The base has been sawn off”: an electricity pylon collapses in the Loiret region
France3, April 2, 2025

Just imagine the violence of the impact. A pylon, weighing several dozen tons, crashing to the ground. A very rare incident, but it happened on Tuesday April 1 at around 6 p.m., in the commune of Malesherbois, near Pithiviers.

The kind of “April fool’s joke” the grid operator could have done without. On Wednesday, some twenty technicians from Réseau de Transport d’Electricité (RTE) were on site to repair the pylon. The gendarmes were also on hand to make observations. RTE suspects “vandalism: the wind is not the explanation. The base of the pylon was sawn off”.

However, there was no power cut. “When it fell, the safety system was activated, cutting off the electricity and redirecting it to another network”, explains the company. The line is a high-voltage line, i.e. carrying a minimum current of 225,000 volts.

A security perimeter was set up within a 500-meter radius of the pylon. A complaint has been lodged and an investigation launched.

Gießen (Germany): deportation vans go up in smoke

Posted on by ellipsism

Deportation vans go up in smoke

   [During the night of Sunday/Monday March 17, three vans belonging to the administration responsible for deportations, which were parked in front of the Regional Coordination Center for the Refugee Payment Card, went up in smoke in Gießen (Hesse) at around 4am. The damage caused by this incendiary attack is estimated by the police at 300,000 euros (including the building’s facade and windows). The attack was claimed the very next day on de.indymedia.

The “payment card” in question relates to the payment of asylum-seekers’ allowances by this means, which were previously paid in cash. This special smart card was introduced throughout Germany in June 2024 to fully control the use of the allowance paid to asylum seekers, by limiting monthly cash withdrawals to 50 euros, or by not allowing transfers or electronic payments outside the territory].

Fire and flames for the payment card

On March 17, we attacked the payment card coordination center for the Hesse region with incendiary devices. Several vans and the building on Lilienthalstraße (Gießen) were damaged. It’s no coincidence that we’ve targeted this state institution. With its vehicles, the Gießen district council (Regierungspräsidium, RP) is involved in daily evictions from reception centers, which it coordinates across the whole of Hesse. For these reasons alone, it deserves to be attacked.

What’s more, some of the Gießen RP’s premises serve as the “operational coordination center” for the refugee payment card introduced last autumn. In principle, this means that the RP is responsible for the introduction and implementation of payment cards in the first reception centers, and serves as the contact point for all accommodation centers in the state of Hesse. The payment card is yet another insidious operation in which the German state demonstrates its racist and inhumane practices. It should be clear to us that the payment card is an attack on all those who seek refuge and shelter here, and a further step in the closure of Europe.

It’s not just this racist state practice that has inflamed our rage and hatred, but also the fact that this is yet another step by an authoritarian state to exercise surveillance and control. As a society, we should assume that the refugee payment card is a pilot project to test the extent to which the use of payment cards can be used in general in the future. It is to be assumed that, at some point in the future, such payment cards will also be available to recipients of social security benefits. After all, the German state likes to crush those at the bottom of the social ladder, to pick on the poor and those who have already been stigmatized for a long time.

In solidarity with all those who refuse to be deported and develop a collective practice against the authorities.

We salute our anarchist comrades in Bavaria who are currently facing state repression for their uncompromising political stance.

With our action, we send greetings of solidarity and hope to all those affected by racist politics. Another world is possible – let’s fight for it together.

Good luck and strength to all comrades on the run, and burning hatred against the walls that imprison our friends and comrades.

Athens,Greece : A coordination’s attacks in solidarity with the anarchists M.Μ, D.Ζ. | Deprivation of health care is torture by Anarchists

A coordination’s attacks in solidarity with the anarchists M.Μ, D.Ζ. | Deprivation of health care is torture

31/10/24 will remain forever engraved in our hearts, it will be a constant reminder of the reasons we are fighting for. On that day, in Arkadias Street, in Ampelokipi, an explosion occurs following the processing of explosives, with the tragic consequence of the death of the anarchist guerrilla Kyriakos Xymitiris and the serious injury of the anarchist Marianna M.

Marianna is transferred to Evangelismos Hospital with multiple injuries and a haematoma in her head. The anti-terrorist gang don’t miss an opportunity to take a blood sample from her, as long as she hasn’t fully regained consciousness. In the following days, a horror show begins inside the hospital, with her comrade isolated, her privacy violated and the interrogator herself pressuring her to testify, while she was not yet in a position to talk. The climate of revenge culminates with her transfer to prison on 15/11, just one day after undergoing surgery. From then on, imprisoned in Korydallos women’s prison, she is faced with miserable sanitary conditions and total lack of medical care. These conditions constitute a form of torture that shows the eternal hatred that the state has for every captured and oppressed activist. Marianna has not been given a CT brain scan to monitor the haematoma during the months she has been held in prison, with her dizziness constantly worsening. On the contrary, she has been informed by the prison neurologist that unless she has an epileptic seizure, she will not go to hospital.

The health of her comrade Dimitra, who is accused in the same case and was remanded in custody a few days after the explosion, is also being treated the same way. Dimitra developed severe rashes and itching, with doctors administering sedatives to her for two months, without any examination, and attributing her symptoms to psychological factors. When Marianna also developed similar symptoms, they decided that it was scabies and placed them in isolation.

On 29/03, Dimitra’s health deteriorates and she is transferred to Korydallos Hospital, where the doctor in charge tells her characteristically, “For us, you are just numbers.” However, Dimitra does not succumb to the psychological warfare and mockery of the doctors and demands her transfer to the hospital in Nikaia that is in charge of the situation. The EOM, in order to intensify her torture, subjects her to a dermatological and gynecological examination by the doctors inside the transport van under the presence and gaze of the cops.

The above is something more than expected when we talk about the conditions of detention in Greek prisons. Korydallos “Agios Pavlos” hospital has been described as hell due to the miserable conditions it is in and the deaths it has caused…

With our own means we decided to show our anger against the torture of our anarchist comrades. We chose to attack state and capitalist targets, returning some of their violence. The time has come for fear to change sides. Our captive comrades are not alone. You are responsible for their deteriorating health and you will find us in front of you.
We take responsibility for the A coordination’s attacks at the following points:

• My Market, Agios Eleftherios area
• Sklavenitis super Market , Zografou area
• N.D. Offices, Galatsi area
• Sabotage of National Bank ATM, Chalandri area
• Diplomatic Corps Car, Gyzi area
• Luxury apartments that are set to open soon, Exarcheia area

The blows are dedicated to comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris. Through continuous struggle we defend the memories of our comrades who resolutely joined the Revolutionary Cause and challenged the monopoly of state and capitalist violence in practice. Kyriakos Xymitiris will remain immortal and will accompany us forever on the streets of fire. He will be a constant inspiration, his unspeakable humility, his steely stubbornness and his genuine dedication to the struggle with all means. He will remind us that everything is possible.

Lack of medical care is torture
Immediate release of the comrades arrested in the Ampelokipi case
Solidarity with the imprisoned anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.
Kyriakos Xymitiris, one of us, a comrade forever on the streets of fire
Solidarity with the evicted Rasprava squat
Solidarity with the struggling people of Palestine

ARSON ATTACK ON GOVERNMENT VEHICLES – Athens,Greece.

Posted on by ellipsism

In the early hours of March 28, we placed six incendiary devices inside the ΕΥΔΑΠ (Hellenic Water Company) construction site in the Cholargos area, which engulfed state vehicles in flames. We are actively questioning the power of the state and the structure of its sovereignty, trying to weaken it by striking. We remind you that resistance action against the state and capital does not have one front, but many.

In order to achieve our promoted goals, it is necessary to overcome the limits of bourgeois legitimacy.

From the multiple demonstrations, to the extensive clashes with stones and Molotov cocktails in the central Syntagma Square, to the arson of state machinery, we are promoting the revolution everywhere and always.

KYRIAKOS YOU LIVE FOREVER A FIGHTER

CONSCIOUSNESS IS BUILT IN MASS STRIKES, OCCUPATIONS AND ON THE STREETS

EVERYONE ON THE STREETS ON MAY DAY

Dresden (Germany): two Teslas for the price of one!

Posted on by ellipsism

For the second night in a row, on Sunday February 9, a Tesla electric car caught fire in the Neustadt district of Dresden. The front part of the car was completely consumed in just a few minutes, on Eberswalder Straße.

The previous evening, Saturday 8th, another Tesla had already caught fire in the same Neustadt district. According to the police, the first fire occurred at almost the same time as the second, and a technical cause is virtually ruled out. Investigators are therefore assuming a link between the two incidents, and have opened an “arson” investigation. On the first Tesla set on fire, a sticker was affixed to the front window, with the following text: “On February 13 and 15, take to the streets, disrupt the commemoration, block the Nazis*.”

Reporting on the repeated destruction, regional TV station MDR logically couldn’t help but ask out loud “Are the fires linked to Elon Musk?”, before providing a few snippets of a possible explanation of its own, as follows: “Tesla is a product of American tech billionaire Elon Musk. He had supported the right-wing populist Donald Trump with large sums of money during the election campaign, before being appointed by Trump to the new government. Elon Musk is also accused of supporting right-wing populists in Europe and interfering in election campaigns, including the AfD’s candidate for [German] chancellor, Alice Weidel, via his social media channel X.”

[Local press summary (Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk, MDR), February 9, 2025]

Note of Sans Nom: On February 13 and 15, 1945, more than 25,000 people died under the 650,000 phosphorus incendiary bombs dropped by the Allies on the city of Dresden. Eighty years later, as a commemorative human chain is planned each year in response to a call from the institutions, the far right, which has the wind in its sails ahead of the forthcoming parliamentary elections on February 25, is exploiting these bombings more than ever to minimize Nazi crimes.

Authorities are investigating a potential arson attack at a Tesla shop after two Tesla Cybertrucks caught fire Monday evening in Kansas City.

Five Tesla cars were damaged in Las Vegas on Tuesday after a person set the vehicles on fire and fired multiple gunshots in a “targeted attack” on a Tesla facility, where the individual also painted the word “RESIST” on the storefront’s windows.

Someone was arrested for allegedly vandalizing a Tesla Sales, Service, and Delivery Center in Chicago on March 14th.

Last week, three Teslas were vandalized in Dedham, Massachusetts on March 11.

Earlier this month, a Tesla charging station in Boston was set on fire, and police are investigating gunshots fired at a dealership in Oregon, and fire officials are probing a fire that destroyed four Cybertrucks at a Tesla lot in Seattle.
