Antenna Attack

Meuse, France: Solidarity for Boris

Posted on 2021/09/05 by darknights

A few days before the beginning of the Rayonnantes camp, we send all our solidarity to Boris, imprisoned in Nacy-Maxéville since september 2020.

Boris was imprisoned in the context of repression against the wave of incendiary attacks on relay antennas, in his particular case those of the Mont Poupet, which Boris claimed. You can read his declaration here.

A few days ago, a fire started in Boris’ cell and he was transfered to Metz hospital. You can find a communique about his situation here.

You can also find more information on the procedure here.

Our struggles against this energy-consuming world, that pushes the commercialization and artificialization of the world, from Cigeo to relay antennas, are the same.

Our struggles for freedom and autonomy stand against every prison.

Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle): Sabotage of a 5G Antenna

Posted on 2021/08/29 by darknights

Neither nuke nor 5G!

In the heights of the outskirts of Nancy, this August 18, a 5G antenna burned. ‘Neither nuke nor 5G!’ was tagged on a wall of the enclosure that protected the access.

This was one of many responses to the government’s obstinacy in forcing through its project to digitalize the world. This year will also be decisive for the nuclear waste burial project in Bure, which is also gaining ground despite local and wider opposition that has been going on for years. Nuclear and 5G are the pillars of a deadly industry.

Solidarity to all those charged as a result of these fights!

An anarchist prisoner in coma in France EN/FR/IT/DE

Posted on 2021/08/09 - 2021/08/10 by darknights

Our comrade Boris, in prison in Nancy-Maxéville since september 2020 for the arson of two relay antennas in the Jura during the lockdown, is currently in artificial coma at the burns unit of the hospital of Metz. The fire would have started around 6:30 am in the cell [where he was placed alone in detention ] saturday 7th of august.

The only certainty is that prison is an institutionalized torture system, and that the State -from police to justice to prison -, is directly responsible of this situation.

May sadness turns into rage against all authority …

Friends, accomplices and comrades of Boris,

FR: Nancy/Metz : Boris dans le coma

Notre compagnon Boris, incarcéré à la taule Nancy-Maxéville depuis septembre 2020 pour l’incendie de deux antennes-relais dans le Jura pendant le confinement, est actuellement plongé en coma artificiel au service des grands brulés de l’hôpital de Metz. Le feu aurait pris vers 6h30 dans la cellule samedi 7 août.

La seule certitude est que la prison est un système de torture institutionnalisée, et que l’État -de la police à la justice jusqu’à la prison-, est directement responsable de cette situation.

Que la tristesse se transforme en rage contre toute autorité…

IT: Nancy/Metz : Boris in coma

Il nostro compagno Boris, incarcerato nella galera di Nancy da settembre 2020, per l’incedio di due ripetitori di telefonia mobile, nel dipartimento del Jura, durante il primo lockdown, si trova attualmente in coma indotto nel reparto grandi ustionati dell’ospedale di Metz. Il fuoco avrebbe avuto luogo nella sua cella verso le 6,30 di sabato 7 agosto.

La sola cosa certa è che la prigione è un sistema di tortura istituzionalizzato e che lo Stato – dalla polizia alla giustizia fino alla prigione – è direttamente responsabile di questa situazione.

Che la tristezza si trasformi in rabbia contro ogni autorità…

DE: Nancy/Metz : Boris ist im Koma!
Unser Gefährte Boris, der seit September 2020 im Gefängnis von Nancy-Maxéville inhaftiert ist, weil er zwei Funkmasten im Jura angezündet hat, liegt derzeit in der Verbrennungsstation des Krankenhauses von Metz im künstlichen Koma. Das Feuer soll am Samstag, den 7. August, gegen 6.30 Uhr in der Zelle [in der er allein inhaftiert war] ausgebrochen sein.

Sicher ist nur, dass das Gefängnis ein System der institutionalisierten Folter ist und dass der Staat – von der Polizei über die Justiz bis hin zum Gefängnis – für diese Situation direkt verantwortlich ist.

Lass Traurigkeit in Wut gegen jede Autorität umschlagen…

Nancy/Besançon, France: Some information on the situation of Boris

Posted on 2021/07/07 by darknights

On April 10, 2020 during the first confinement, fellow anarchist Boris set fire to two cell phone antennas of the four telecom operators in the Jura region, also hosting police and gendarmerie communications.

As he himself explained from the prison where he is now incarcerated for ten months: “The time is ripe for the acceleration of flows and data, for the connectivity of everyday objects to control, listen to, trace, and spy on more and more, to make the human being more and more a slave to the machine. This is what domination calls “progress”, “civilization”. In reality, this project of society has everything of dystopia. Faced with this digital grid, there are not 36,000 solutions. It seems to me necessary to go beyond the stage of criticism and to act here and now, by linking ideas to actions (…). I am part of those who, at the first resounding of the state and sanitary order, refused to lock themselves up at home and went out to attack directly one of the pillars of domination” (Why I burned the two antennas of Mont Poupet, June 2021)

Incarcerated since September 2020 in the prison of Nancy-Maxéville after months of investigation and on the basis of DNA found on site, Boris went on trial last May 19 in that city. Tried in camera, without his lawyer who had asked for a postponement and without the companions in solidarity banned from court under the pretext of covid standards, the garbage in robes sentenced him to 4 years in prison, 2 of which are firm, plus a hundred thousand euros in damages. He immediately appealed this judgment, the date of which has just fallen.

Boris will be tried again before the Court of Appeal of Nancy on September 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm, and everyone can continue to express their solidarity with him, in the warmest manner they deem most appropriate…

On the other hand, as soon as he returned to prison after this conviction, Boris went to the pretrial (internal prison court) where he was given three weeks of solitary confinement, two of which were suspended, for an altercation four months earlier with another inmate, which had already been settled between the parties concerned without any need for the dirty mediation of prison authorities. Despite this week of solitary confinement and the slowness of the mail, his morale remains good. In this respect, we can also point out that the outgoing mail of the companion continues to pass through the office of the judge, whereas the investigation is closed since the beginning of April, a bureaucratic trick on which each one will be able to draw his own conclusions.

Finally, in Besançon itself, the cops don’t seem to be letting go of the case (an investigation is still open for the burning of the premises of an SFR antenna in this city at the same time), and at least two people have been approached by plainclothes pigs in recent months to try to scrape together information on Boris*’s relatives. An update will follow on these facts…

Solidarity is the attack
Freedom for all!

To get his prison number and write to Boris, you can send an email to besakattak at riseup.net, while his warrants in jail are still insured by Kaliméro, a solidarity fund for prisoners of the social war.

Anarchists in solidarity with Boris,

* Attaque note. We will also remember the pressure from the gendarmes towards one of the people searched on September 22, 2020: a summons to… retrieve a GPS beacon that they had discreetly installed under a car.

Prison of Nancy-Maxeville, France: Why I burned the two antennas of Mont Poupet

Posted on 2021/06/17 - 2021/06/17 by darknights

Hi, I’m Boris. I’ve been incarcerated in the Nancy Maxéville prison for 9 months now for the burning of two cell towers in the Jura in April 2020.

If I decide only now to write a few public words about my case, it is mainly because the State has just judged me and it seems vital to me to put down on paper my impressions and my rage against this techno-totalitarianism which have not faded at all since I have been locked up. On the contrary.
While the States were agreeing to muzzle the population by summoning it to stay quietly at home under the pretext of curbing the covid-19 pandemic, waves of sabotages broke out in France and in Europe (Netherlands, England, Italy,. From East to West, from South to North of France, pylons have been knocked down, their cables cut and most of them burned by dozens, interrupting telecommunications, the geolocation of cell phones and the spying of those in the target of the repression organs.

At the time of writing, the sabotage of telecommunication networks continues unabated, even though it is in the interest of the ruling power to conceal or minimize it. Sometimes, the scale of the destruction is such that it is impossible for them to mute it, like the fire of a TDF relay in the Bouches-du-Rhône at the beginning of December 2020, or the claimed incendiary sabotage near Limoges to start the year 2021 with good resolutions.
The technological web, which covers all the territories, spreads at full speed and perfects its functioning with the new 5G network, allows to make accept a whole bunch of new social norms imposed by the State, under the recommendations and the blessing of doctors and scientists. Just like a whole bunch of products and drugs that keep the population wise and docile, screens play a leading role in getting the greatest number to accept confinement: telecommuting, tele-apéro, tele-school, tele-… How could the domination have “respected” this large-scale house arrest without all this techno-structure?
The time has come for the acceleration of flows and data, for the connectivity of everyday objects in order to control, listen to, trace, and spy on more and more, to make human beings more and more slaves of the machine. It is all this that domination calls “progress”, “civilization”. In reality, this project of society has everything of dystopia.
Faced with this digital grid, there are not 36,000 solutions. It seems to me necessary to go beyond the stage of criticism and to act here and now, by linking ideas to actions, by taking the necessary precautions to avoid falling into the meshes of repression. And unfortunately I know what I am talking about.
The whole affair starts with a new-looking blue cap covered with an oily plastic substance at the foot of one of the two relays of Mont Poupet, on which my DNA is taken. Being on file, I find myself in the sights of judges and cops who will put large human and financial resources to spy on my daily life (my habits, my frequentations) during the summer of 2020 (imsi catcher, cameras in front of homes, gps under the cars of my relatives, listening and geolocation, civilians of the GIGN (Versailles) on tail and stakeout…) Continue reading “Prison of Nancy-Maxeville, France: Why I burned the two antennas of Mont Poupet” →
