Norway: Wolf murderers go into hiding after being targeted with caltrops

Posted on 2024/01/22 by darknights

13th January

According to pro hunting reports, several wolf hunters in Norway have been targeted over night, with activists placing caltrops around their personal homes.

The wolf cull in Norway seeks to murder 18 wolves throughout the country in 2024. The latest wolf census for the country showed a total of 89 wolves living in Norway.

Environmental minster and known wet wipe Andreas Bjelland Eriksen has publicly condemned the actions, saying “I have full respect for the fact that many people want to challenge predator management, but this is done through democratic processes such as campaigning in front of Parliament and being clear in the media, not through illegal actions that can be directly dangerous for those doing a job for the community,”

The “vandalism” and “illegal actions” referred to by Andreas is the direct attack to several hunters who are actively attempting to kill wolves in Kongsvinger area.

Since the news of the caltrops, the wolf cull in the area has been halted. Whilst the hunting team says it is due to the weather and difficult tracking conditions, the police says it is difficult to know when they’ll be ready to go back out hunting.

Berlin, Germany: Against environmental destruction, oppression and war – fire for CEMEX concrete plant

Posted on 2024/01/04 by darknights

Inspired by a series of actions and sabotages against “the world of concrete” in France (2), Belgium and Switzerland, we visited the CEMEX concrete plant on Schleusenufer in Berlin-Kreuzberg in the early hours of December 27 and used fire to stop several concrete mixer trucks and bring the conveyor belt and a technical building to a standstill.

A master among the climate killers

The wasteland of concrete and asphalt continues to spread. In Germany alone, up to 30 hectares of living soil are buried under the most sought-after building material every day. Roads, squares, commercial areas, industrial plants and houses; huge parts of the earth’s surface are already sealed and infrastructure projects such as dams, freeways, bridges, airports etc. consume several billion tons of concrete every year.

All this is not without consequences. Concrete is considered the climate killer par excellence. Almost 10 percent of the carbon dioxide that this system currently blows into the air comes from the cement industry. That is almost three times as much as air traffic. At the same time, concrete production consumes enormous amounts of resources. Sand in particular, which is essential for production, is already in short supply, which is why coastal areas and sometimes entire islands are being dredged worldwide. With devastating effects on the surrounding ecosystems. The increasing sealing of soils also has catastrophic consequences. Urban areas are heating up more and more, while rainwater can no longer seep into the ground. Groundwater reservoirs are not filling up as before, which will lead to water shortages in many places in the long term or has already done so. Drought and aridity are the result of this on the one hand, while flooding and erosion are occurring elsewhere due to increasingly frequent heavy rainfall. More than that, every additional meter of concrete destroys habitats and food sources. The loss of natural ground areas and the lack of vegetation lead to a decline in biodiversity, which has an impact on many animal and plant populations and will result in the extinction of individual species.

Montreal, Canada: Banner Drop for Welaunee Forest Defenders

Posted on 2023/03/18 by darknights

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info

Militarization and expansion of police power is a global threat. The fight back against the Cop City development project in Atlanta mirrors other local struggles everywhere. This solid and long standing frontline struggle represents how the destruction of natural habitats is interconnected with state violence and repression.

At the edge of Welaunee forest, every cop pushed back with fireworks and every piece of construction equipment set ablaze is welcomed with cheer from companions all over turtle island and beyond.

We made and dropped this banner in Montréal in solidarity with all the arrestees in Altanta, even the innocent ones. We will never forget Tortuguita.

Cologne, Germany: #Lützerathlebtweiter, Nighttime visit to Primus Service GmbH

Posted on 2023/02/21 - 2023/02/21 by darknights

From 02 to 03 February, we paid a visit to Primus Service GmbH in Unnauer Weg in Cologne Lindweiler and, in addition to broken glass, also left a colorful mark.

The offer of the Primus Service GmBh under the guidance duo Sven summer and Alexandra Michels is the gastro supply in the sectors company catering, Health Care, refugee assistance and employment catering.

In the company catering sector, according to the website, the “largest customer to date” in the company catering sector was acquired in summer 2021 with the Deutsche Post DHL Group Campus in Bonn. In the area of refugee aid, Primus operates locations throughout Germany and thus earns money from the collective accommodation of refugees. In doing so, they advertise that they prepare “typical” dishes from the refugees’ home countries with organic fair trade spices. In addition, there is the catering service, where Primus proudly proclaims: “Police catering means one thing above all else: commitment. Seven days a week. 24 hours a day. You can rely on us when it counts.

The Primus team of the police supply department provides various police agencies in North Rhine-Westphalia with catering bags and drinks for emergency and large-scale operations. For the police supply we are with joy and commitment 365 days a year in use.”

In January in Lützerath, they were able to demonstrate how reliably and happily Primus supports large-scale police operations. With the catering for the police operation, Primus not only provided an elementary part of the infrastructural basis for this operation but also earned money from the destruction of Lützerath. In addition so the further brown coal mining made possible, causes for global warming promoted and thus also resulting environmental disasters. These create further causes of flight!
The enterprise belongs to those, which create bases, which make inhumane conditions possible and stabilize by their work. With this nightly visit we want to mark Primus Service GmbH as an actor and profiteer of destruction and oppression and join the militant campaign that does not leave the eviction of Lützerath unanswered.

Who feeds cops, gets bitten!

We send solidarity greetings to all who have fought and continue to fight day and night in and around Lützerath.

Solidarity and strength also go to the comrade in the Hamburg Parkbank trial.

Mülheim, Germany: Lützerath is Everywhere! Strabag Vehicle Torched

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

The Strabag construction group runs a dirty business: highway and jail construction. In addition, the company cooperates intensively with the energy company RWE on the opencast mines in the Rhenish lignite mining area, also directly near Lützerath. Now we have joined the action campaign against Strabag and continue the fight against the mining of the extremely climate-damaging lignite in a decentralized way! Lützerath is everywhere and wherever we are, our resistance can unfold in many ways!

The small hamlet of Lützerath has made it to worldwide fame after its occupation, although this place had been doomed for a long time. The fight against the eviction and the brutally enforced capital interests of RWE, Strabag and Co. was magnificent, although the destruction of the place could not be prevented. Lützerath is currently the symbol of resistance against the deadly energy policy of the government at the federal level and in NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia). Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, have made it clear that something has to change fundamentally and that the state and its police do not bring justice, but rather help capital achieve its objectives in the most brutal way.

Lützerath is lost, but the battle can now be fought with renewed fires! In any place!

With our small contribution and very simple means, we see ourselves as part of an alliance with all forms of struggle of the anti-capitalist climate movement. Demonstrations, sit-ins, discussions, attacks, gluing, sabotage, lock-ons, occupations and tunnels – anything that helps in our counterattack for the good of all life!

Much love to all the injured and the prisoners.

Cologne, Germany: Sabotage arson attack against RWE coal train

Posted on 2023/01/19 - 2023/01/19 by darknights

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!

“Hubungan anti-otoritarian dengan hewan non-manusia (dan bumi) dikombinasikan dengan serangan klandestin terhadap masyarakat industri dapat dilihat sepanjang sejarah. Dahulu dan sekarang, banyak anarkis tidak hanya mempertahankan gaya hidup vegan sebagai penolakan hierarki dalam hubungan mereka dengan hewan non-manusia, tetapi juga mengakui perlunya menghancurkan peradaban itu sendiri.

Zine ini dibuat dengan tujuan untuk menggambarkan hubungan antara veganisme, anarki individualis, dan serangan insureksioner dengan menyoroti beberapa dari banyak kelompok dan sel yang mengubah kemarahan menjadi tindakan”

From back cover:

“The anti-authoritarian relationship with non-human animals (and the earth) combined with clandestine attack against industrial society can be seen throughout history. Past and present, many anarchists not only maintain a vegan lifestyle as a rejection of hierarchy in their relationships to non-human animals, but also recognize the necessity for destroying civilization itself.

This zine was created with the intention of illustrating the relationship between veganism, individualist anarchy and insurrectionary attack by highlighting a few of the many groups and cells that turned anger into action.”

Chile: Words from fellow Susaron Case prisoners in memory of Bill Rodgers “Avalon”.

Posted on 2023/01/06 - 2023/01/06 by darknights

17 years after his death…

Like a gale that crushes the foundations of buildings and brains.

Like a merciless and brutal volcano that with its channel burns to its wide margins that oppress.

Like a jaguar digging its fangs. Tearing skins, muscles and organs of any intruder.

Your energy floats over our aggressive steps. And your eternal escape impregnates us with the boldness in life that had your animalistic footprint.

Compañero, ancestor and guide. Wherever your enormous existence drained of corporeality roams, here we embrace it from confinement.

Caged by the same bars that imprisoned you, and pointed by the same canons of plastic and miserable understanding of life, its essence and its beauty, which judged you. We smiled at you looking at the clouds and their shapes.

Fire, roar and an exorbitant love. That only an anti-speciesist of action can understand. That is what we invoke in your memory and honor. William C. Rodgers “Avalon”.*

“I live in the pupils and quickened pulses of those who make total liberation, more than pictures of wild animals on networks, instagram stories and dusty books.”
