ACTIVISTS ATTACK RWE’S COAL TRAIN IN SOLIDARITY WITH LÜTZERATH.

12th January, Cologne Germany.

Via: Abolition Media

“In the night of 12.01.2023 we set out in deep solidarity with our friends in the Zad Lützerath to sabotage the coal railroad in the Cologne city forest.

With two strategically placed incendiary devices we hope to have stopped the delivery of the coal at least for a small moment.

RWE deserves nothing but our deepest hatred!

Even if the cops occupy the whole Rhineland they can’t watch us everywhere. The night belongs to us!

Our action is part of a militant campaign for the preservation of the autonomous zone and against the global climate destruction.

Fossil energy production and its exploitation of the planet must be stopped at all costs.

We greet all those who oppose climate destruction and oppression throughout Germany and the world.

Freedom for all!

For a militant climate movement!”

ANARCHISTS BURN STRABAG TRUCKS IN SOLIDARITY WITH LÜTZERATH PROTECTOS AND WITH ALFREDO COSPITO.

VIA: Abolition Media

January, Hamburg Germany.

“With thoughts of the hunger-striking anarchist Alfredo Cospito, we set fire to Strabag trucks in the Schanze (a central quarter of Hamburg) on the night of January .
Strabag does not only build prisons. At least since the struggle for the Dannenröder forest, they have often been the target of attacks because they actively destroy nature. Our fire should also give strength to those fighting in and around Lützerath. Day X has already been proclaimed.

We stand in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, who has been on hunger strike since 20 October 2022 against his imprisonment in the 41-bis isolation regime and against life imprisonment without the option of release. Alfredo’s detention conditions are slightly better at the moment than previous weeks. He has lost a lot of weight and his health is relatively stable, but could become critical at any time. Two other prisoners in Italy, Anna and Juan have been on prolonged solidarity hunger strikes and Ivan Alocco, a prisoner in France is also supporting Alfredo through hunger strike. Toby Shone, who is in prison in England, is also supporting Alfredo by refusing food several days a week.

We are also in solidarity with Thanos Chatziangelou from the organisation Anarchist Action, who was illegally transferred from Korydallos to Nigrita prison in Serres on 19/12. Thanos started a hunger and thirst strike that day. The companion is involved in the recent mobilizations in prisons in Greece against the new harsh laws, which are currently taking place in many places and in which many prisoners have been participating in recent months.

On 25.12, he was transferred to the hospital in Nigrita, where he is guarded around the clock by police. On the evening of 31 December, external doctors attempted for the first time to subject him to the torture of force-feeding on the basis of a prosecutor’s order. Thanos resisted and pulled the injections. Force-feeding is torture! Our companion’s demands must be met! The reasons for his transfer must be given and he must be brought back to Korydallos.

Five other prisoners in Greece have gone on hunger strike for his demands.

We stand in solidarity with the 11 comrades from Turkey who are imprisoned in Greece: Ali Ercan Gökoğlu, Burak Agarmış, Hasan Kaya, Sinan Çam, Şadi Naci Özpolat, Halil Demir, Anıl Sayar, Harika Kızılkaya, Hazal Seçer, Sinan Oktay Özen, İsmail Zat. They have been on hunger strike since October 7, demanding a fair trial and an immediate reversal of the 133 years in prison they received collectively from a Greek court. They are also demanding their rights in relation to their arrest and a legal status in Greece. Many prisoners in Greece are in solidarity with the 11.”

The words we share are from the call for the demo “NO PRISON, NO NATION, STOP ISOLATION” on 8.1. in Berlin.

Freedom for all prisoners! Down with the walls and the energy companies!

THE ALF DESTROYS 90 POSTERS PROMOTING ANIMAL ABUSING ZOO.

December-January, Fulda, Germany.

Received anonymously via email:

“Over the course of 5 nights, 90 posters of a Christmas circus in Fulda were destroyed, painted and taken down. The ALF activists want to ensure that fewer visitors support animal exploitation in the circus.

In addition to human artists the circus keeps animals to entertain the audience. Besides ponies, horses, huskies and camels, wild reindeer from Lapland are supposed to perform there.

The animals are kept on an empty concrete or gravel area and only have branches lying on the ground.

This form of husbandry does not resemble there natural habitat in the slightest!
On top of the horrible living conditions, the animals have to endure daily training/shows against their will and the stress during the transport from one city to the next.

We demand an immediate ban of using animals for entertainment purposes and the liberation of all animals!

We will fight until every enclosure and cage is empty!”

BUTCHER TARGETED BY THE ALF SHUTS DOWN FOREVER.

On the 29th of December, Luz butcher shop in Stuttgart, Germany, announced that they were non longer going to carry on open, four days after the third attack by the ALF.

We were alerted of the news by an anonymous member of the cell that targeted that butcher shop, who sent us this text:

“4 Days after our action (3 actions in total) against Butcher Luz they are closing down there whole ”business”, after 111 years YEEES PARTY

Massive smell and paint and fake blood combined in some actions seemed to look like a good combination here. Stay continous brave activists, we will get Liberation for all beeings!

Please feel motivated you are not alone in this, there is a lot of us! Its a marathon not a sprint and we are close to Animal rights and Liberation like never before in history. Looking forward to celebrate with all of you activists offline when we arrive in a mostly/full vegan world.

Kisses and hugs to all of you wonderful vegan activists out there!

ANARCHISTS SET BANK OF AMERICA ALIGHT IN WARM SOLIDARITY WITH ATLANTA FOREST DEFENDERS.

1st January, Portland USA.

VIA: Scenes.

“Last night I broke into a Bank of America in Portland, Oregon and started a large fire. According to news reports, the fire grew quickly and took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish.

I attack for revenge against capital for the hell it creates, to break the illusion of police control that usually protects it, and just because I can.

Bank of America funds the Atlanta Police Foundation and a thousand other projects of control. Earlier that day, the six friends in Atlanta charged with “domestic terrorism” were released from jail. May this fire bring them some warmth in winter.

Long live anarchy!”

ACTIVISTS DAMAGE ANIMAL PRODUCT PACKAGES IN SUPERMARKETS DURING CHRISTMAS.

December, Athens Greece.

received anonymously via email:

“While life in the metropolis becomes more and more difficult for human and non-human animals who try to survive in it, the mayor of athens decided to remind us this year how easily τhe states domination can destroy nature, by placing a 21 meters tree from karpenisi, in syntagma square. Under the tree and the 40,000 lights that illuminated it, uniformed bastards were placed in order to preserve the “festive atmosphere”. After all, they had every reason to be afraid, since on December 5, a cop literally performed his duty by shooting the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Frangoulis, a day before the anniversary of the murder of the 16-year-old anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos.

The festive atmosphere continued in the municipality of Volos, since real non-human animals were used as accessories to decorate two nativities in the area. Non-human animals have once again been exploited in the name of customs and tradition.

They were sold in pet shops as christmas presents, they became a spectacle of a festive program in the attica zoological park’s prisons, they were abused by the dairy industry and the shelves of the supermarkets were filled with special chocolates, cheese, etc. and were taken to slaughterhouses by the thousands so that their bodies could take a central place at the christmas table.

So we, influenced by the festive atmosphere, could not resist and visited some supermarket in Athens. We destroyed some of the most expensive christmas packages of animal products, making it impossible to sell them, causing a loss of a few hundred euros. This move was the minimum act of opposition to animal farm structures. After all, we still have a long way to go until the total destruction of speciesism.

Until every cage is empty.

ACTIVISTS POUR BUTRYC ACID OVER THE CASH DESK OF A ZOO

30th December, Stuttgart Germany.

received anonymously via email:

“Butyric Acid is a effective liquid to stop people from paying to see animals in prisons, when poured over entrance and cash desk. Stop to finance such violance in zoos! Animals are not here to gape at!

So we reached out to remember them to respect all beeings. Close the Zoo Wilhelma, and all other animal prisons!

Until every cage is empty!”

TWO EMPTY WISCONSIN FUR FARMS CONTAMINATED WITH AULETIANS DISEASE.

29th December, Wisconsin USA.

Via: NAALPO

“it’s a good thing animal safe havens and wildlife rehabbers talk. we got word of a few mink infected with the deadly and contagious aleutians disease. we cared for these animals in their dying weeks, carefully saving the feces and urine.

we then bypassed security measures and entered the zimbal’s mink farm locations at 6437 abraham ct, sheboygan falls, wi 53085 and 9532 sauk trail rd,  oostburg, wi 53070 and sprayed down the cages with urine and infected the feed supply with a liquid mix of feces and urine.

zimbal farms are said to be the largest mink slaughterhouses in so called north america with up to 240,000 mink imprisoned. aleutian disease is highly transmittable, and once a farm is

infected, it spreads rapidly through the mink population. the only ethical (and profitable, if you don’t have ethics) thing to do would be to dispose of the food supply, disinfect the entire property and destroy all exisiting cages and never reopen.  go grow some vegetables.

fur is a disgusting and dying industry. close your farms and figure out how to actually be a contribution to the community.”

ATTACK AGAINST NUCLEAR INFRASTRUCTURE IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO COSPITO.

11th December, France.

Translated by: Act For Free!

“In May of this year, the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito was transferred to the 41bis isolation regime.

The torture method of sensory deprivation aims to break his rebellious spirit and silence him. In order to achieve the removal of his isolation conditions, our comrade began an indefinite hunger strike on October 20. On December 1st – on the 42nd day of the hunger strike – a review of the conditions of detention decided to continue the torture procedure. If the Italian fascist state persists in its practice of isolation, Alfredo may not see the end of this year. But his death will not be a suicide: it will be the murder under torture of a vengeful political judiciary.

Let’s prevent this murder

The most passionate form of revolutionary solidarity is to continue the struggles for which our comrades are behind bars. It was in this spirit that on December 11, during a night-time sabotage action, we went to a pylon of the Fessenheim-Paris extra-high voltage line and unscrewed the bolts. The pylon is still standing, but its stability is clearly compromised. May our revolutionary anger act in alliance with nature, and may a winter storm do the rest!
Alfredo has always been able to tie the question of social revolution with that of ecology and, through his words and deeds, connect the ecocidal plundering of our planet with the struggle against the dominant powers, exploitation and oppression. In his statement on the kneecapping of the Italian nuclear industry leader Roberto Adinolfi (ansaldo nucleare) and later in various statements during the trial for the scripta manenta case, he described the need to anchor a revolutionary perspective in the anti-nuclear movement. In a valuable contribution to the debate, he also spoke in 2018 about the struggle against the CIGÉO project for the burial of nuclear waste in the French village of Bure in Meuse. Referring to the idea of diversity of tactics practiced there, he suggests an intensification of the forms of struggle that are chosen. This is one of the contributions that were later used to justify the tightening of his detention conditions.

As such, we wish to take back up this idea and to continue it following the thread of informal organization and of permanent attack towards all the dominant infrastructures that, in our opinion, have already put us in permanent cages. And this, without dissociating from the strategies that attack the physical integrity of targeted people, as was done for Roberto Adinolfi; not with a strategic document composed of empty words and pompous revolutionary phrases, but by the practical application of direct action.

The power line we attacked was not chosen at random. It is precisely the 400,000 volt line that will in the future supply electricity to the useless and controversial CIGÉO industrial project. At the same time, close to the Cigéo site, the public network operator RTE is planning to build a transformer station on an area the size of 20 soccer pitches, which will be able to satisfy the nuclear monster’s thirst for energy. The Declaration of Public Utility of this summer creates all the legal conditions allowing the expropriation of the necessary lands for this purpose.
The form of action we have chosen involves considerable risks. That is why we will soon publish a new communique with some technical instructions allowing to carry it out as safely as possible.

A warm embrace across seas, borders and walls.
For all prisoners in struggle!
Solidarity means attack!
