Bremen, Germany: Fire for Tesla! Charging stations and switch cabinets set alight!

Posted on 2025/11/25 by darknights

Switch off Tesla! Switch off AI capitalism! Switch off fascism!

Smash COP30: Last week, representatives of UN member states flew into Belém, Brazil, with their insanely large entourage of journalists, security forces, and scientists to ponder their inaction, take group photos, and announce statements they will not keep. All this while we are governed by people who care more about supplying German industry with enough critical raw materials and positioning themselves for careers after their term in office than trying to prevent the complete destruction of the Earth.

Belém has been upgraded for tourists, the rich, and politicians because of the COP summit. While tourists stroll along the shiny new harbor dock, houses have been cleared and the exploited and poor pushed to the margins of the city. Neighborhoods have been buried under concrete. It is the same dynamic of gentrification and repression that we know from other meetings of the world’s powerful.

The tradition of colonization manifests itself through the exploitation of the rainforest, industrial agriculture, mining, and oil production, which destroy indigenous territories. Solidarity greetings to the indigenous people who stormed the climate conference building and sparked a moment of revolt. https://www.zdfheute.de/panorama/klimakonferenz-cop30-indigene-aktivisten-protest-100.html

We think this is a good moment to point out that we should not believe their lies for a moment longer. The displacement in cities, the destruction of the earth, the colonization of territories—all these struggles are interconnected.

That is why we set fire to four Tesla charging stations and two adjacent switch cabinets with gasoline. Let’s sabotage this deadly regime! Let’s sabotage their (green) capitalism!

Musk stands for exactly this logic and is not without reason the richest person on this planet. We want to see his empire in flames!

Switch off Tesla! Switch off AI-Capitalism! Switch off Fascism!

Paris, France: Fire involving a crane at the Baudrière construction site in Montreuil

Posted on 2025/10/26 by darknights

It was in lower Montreuil, in a seemingly quiet neighborhood, that an inexplicable and unexpected tragedy occurred during the night of Wednesday, October 22 to Thursday, October 23. Passersby noticed a sudden glow: the cab of a crane was on fire, causing chaos and widespread panic.

The firefighters were slow to arrive. This gave the fire time to cause considerable, irreversible, and unspeakable damage. Although relatively invisible from the street except for the blackened windows of the cabin, the significant impact of this fire was revealed to us by a source close to the investigation. The cabin, burned out from the inside, is now completely unusable.

The vehicle in question was located on the Imava construction site at 65 bis rue Voltaire, the real estate developer that evicted the squat known as La Baudrière in August 2022. This construction site is currently at a standstill.

Shortly afterwards, we received a text containing an interview with an expert on the event in question. Will it shed light on this very dark affair? We sincerely hope so.

Barraux (Isère), France: A glimmer of hope under the hood for the Lyon-Turin project

Posted on 2025/10/26 by darknights

We claim responsibility for:
One autumn night, a fire, three construction vehicles burned at the Barreaux quarry in Isère.
Owned by Vicat Béton, beneficiary and accomplice in the devastation caused by the construction of the second Lyon-Turin railway line.

The targets:
– 1 sifter, sorting the aggregates extracted from the quarry by size
– 2 bulldozers, moving rubble and leveling the ground

If you still believe that destroying our territories for this project is a good idea, you have been misinformed.
If you think that the 3 vehicles we burned will be enough to slow down the construction site, you are mistaken.
We will have to attack from all sides to shake TELT. They are the vandals.

Quarries are poorly monitored and are an essential link in the construction process. Slowing down the supply means slowing down the construction site.

Let’s light the fire under the hood. The flame spreads quickly.

Volkovysk, Belarus: A police officer’s car and house were set on fire

Posted on 2025/10/02 by darknights

In the town of Volkovysk, Grodno region, unknown heroes set fire to a car and a house under construction belonging to a local police officer.
Flammable liquid is available to everyone. It can be purchased at a gas station, in a store, or obtained from a trusted friend who owns a car. Arson is very simple to commit. Identify the cars, houses, cottages, and garages of Belarusian police officers, prosecutors, investigators, KGB agents, judges, prison guards, etc. Work out a detailed plan of attack and retreat. Come to the target at 3 a.m. and set it on fire, making sure to pour plenty of gasoline inside. Of course, the criminal investigation department will be looking for the arsonists. But if everything is done cleanly, there will be no trace…

Russia: Support anarchist Dmitry Osyagin, sentenced to 15 years for arson of a court building and anti-war comments

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

Anarchist and anti-war activist Dmitry Osyagin from Kazan has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for setting fire to a court building. He was charged under three articles: calling for “extremism”, “terrorism” and committing a “terrorist act” .

According to investigators, in February 2023 Dmitry set fire to the court building in the Privolzhsky District of Kazan. The court was located on the ground floor of a residential building. As reported by the media, the fire damaged only the corner of a window frame and quickly went out. Initially, the case was opened under the article for property damage, but it was later reclassified as a “terrorist act”.

In addition to the arson, Osyagin was accused of making 17 posts calling for violence against government officials, including the President of Russia, and 27 posts which, according to investigators, contained terrorist rhetoric.

The court’s press release notes that Osyagin opposed the invasion of Ukraine and was allegedly a member of the anarchist group “Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists” (BOAK), which has claimed responsibility for sabotage actions on railways and supports anarchist partisans. However, comrades from BOAK are not confirming Osyagin’s membership, saying:

“While proudly calling the imprisoned partisan a comrade and like-minded person, we cannot explain why state media call him a BOAK member. There are two possibilities: either he was indeed in contact with us and acted as an autonomous individual cell of the Organization — we do not collect any information about autonomous participants, and therefore precise identification is difficult — or the FSB, prosecutors, and court falsely attributed BOAK membership to him to ensure the longest possible sentence.”

After his arrest in 2023, Osyagin was added to the Rosfinmonitoring “list of terrorists and extremists.” Now, in addition to 15 years in prison, the court has banned him from administering any online resources for four years after his release.

The sentence was handed down by Central District Military Court Judge Alexander Raitskiy on June 18, 2025. Osyagin is being held in Yekaterinburg’s Detention Center No. 5 (SIZO-5).

Dmitry is a versatile person. Before his arrest, he worked in landscape design and fountain construction. He is interested in technology, IT, cryptocurrency mining, video games, history, and fantasy literature.

If you are ready to write Dmitry a letter — do it. He needs your support now more than ever.

Hood River, Oregon, U$A: Arson Against Drone Manufacturer, Boeing Subsidiary

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

In the early morning hours of July 23rd, an Insitu van was set ablaze while it sat in an empty lot across from their office in Hood River, OR. This fire was set, because the growth of the national security state poses an existential threat to all those who dream of free world. We act in total antagonism against those who enable and profit from militarism, policing and surveillance.

Insitu, a fully owned subsidiary of Boeing, develops and manufactures drone technology for military and law enforcement use. The Boeing Insitu RQ-21 Blackjack and MQ-27 ScanEagle surveillance drones have been integrated into weapons systems operated by the US Navy and Marine Corp. ScanEagle UAV’s are actively being utilized by the Saudi-led coalition forces as part of their ongoing military intervention in the Yemeni civil war.

In 2023 the Customs and Border Protection agency began conducting technology evaluations of the Blackjack and ScanEagle drones for surveillance purposes at the US-Mexico border. In 2011 Insitu introduced the Inceptor, a small unmanned helicopter designed to fit in the trunk of cop cars. This further demonstrates that technology developed for military interventions abroad will always be reconstituted for domestic counter insurgency and repression through policing and border enforcement.

As Israel continues its genocidal war against the people of Gaza, we will not forget that Boeing is among the largest manufacturers of munitions and military equipment to the IDF, including F-15 Fighter Jets and Apache Attack Helicopters. Boeing is supplying Israel with the weapons and technology that make this genocide possible. We did this action as a modest gesture of solidarity with ongoing Palestinian resistance to colonialism and apartheid — from within and outside the occupied territories — from the river to the sea

Kassel, Germany: Never fit for combat! Fire at Bundeswehr vehicle depot

Posted on 2025/08/22 by darknights

It’s war, and Germany is getting ready. Military, political, and economic associations have been gripped by a mania for military preparedness, and everyone is expected to go along with it. “Operation Deustchland” is supposed to make the country fit for war in five years, and camouflage is flourishing everywhere: Rheinmetall, KNDS, and others are snapping up one location after another, the civil clause is crumbling at universities, VW’s management is thinking out loud about getting into the arms business, hospitals and supply structures are being made ready for war, and the Bundeswehr is promoting service to Germany with glossy image campaigns in schools, social media, and billboards. Investment in armaments is becoming a principle of sustainability. Parallel to material and ideological rearmament, there is an authoritarian shift internally, as can be seen in the repression of Palestine solidarity or the anti-militarist movement. The turning point is also in full swing.

Even Friedrich Merz knows that capitalism is in a serious global crisis, and Germany’s “export world champion” model is also suffering as a result: “It was primarily the Americans who secured peace and our freedom, while we concentrated on the economy – and it ran brilliantly. Global markets, cheap intermediate products mainly from China, low-cost energy mainly from Russia, refinement in Germany and then out into the world – that was the German business model. All of that is now being called into question.”

So tough times are ahead, dear citizens. But if German capital wants to continue exploiting the world, making the rich richer and finally producing strong, capable men again, then we have to go through with it. And we have to do it together. This mindset is not one that is only fermenting in the depths of Blackrock’s brains. From all sides, the cry echoes through the republic: Prepare for war if you want to keep your prosperity and freedom. For the struggle for power in the 21st century is far from decided; it is entering a new phase.

The fact that we now have to prepare for World War III here at home brings home the reality of the world. For all the years that we were able to tell ourselves fairy tales of peace and prosperity, cannons were thundering elsewhere. War has been killing for years wherever there is still something to be gained: in Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, destroying societies in Mexico, Kurdistan, Brazil, and raping in Ukraine, Congo, and the Sahara.

But those who bet only on war are incapable of true peace. The fight against war is a fight against capitalism, which needs every crisis to generate new profits, just as it is a fight against patriarchy, which for millennia has drummed into us that there will always be rulers and ruled in this world. There is no place for humanity, community, and dignity in this logic. This will never be our war. It is a war of the rulers, dripping with destructive masculinity, delusions of grandeur, and exploitation. Neither Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, nor Netanyahu are fighting for human values in this war.

We will not allow ourselves to be distracted by their games. A good life can only be achieved when people across national borders fight for a world that is not up for sale and in which human lives are not cheaply exploited. What we need is a peace movement that fights and lives up to its name. We need a whole flood of initiatives, networks, actions, and resistance to counter the impending conflagration. Our action is part of this, and we welcome everyone who comes together, organizes, resists, and seeks solutions.

Never alone, always together, always international! Yes, war and fascism are already at our doorstep, but together with all our fighting friends around the world, this can be our turning point. Because Lieutenant General Bodemann is right about one thing when he says: “The most important thing is that, in the end, every single citizen will matter in this war.” Mr. Bodemann, we agree on that.

So: Do what really matters!
Never fit for war—not today, not in 2029, never again!

Solidarity greetings to the Rheinmetall Disarmament Camp, which will take place in Cologne from August 26 to August 31!

Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson of Cop’s Vehicle

Posted on 2025/08/11 - 2025/08/11 by darknights

At dawn on 25/7 we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorcycle in the area of Elliniko. As a result, it suffered significant damage and was forced to repair it. This move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed garbage at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds in equipment and human resources, as well as privileges for them. This is done in an attempt by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space. So it uses the cops as protectors of the politically and economically powerful, securing their interests. In the same strategy, it militarizes repression and control, tightens the laws and the penal code. At the same time, it displaces those who are left over and sterilizes the city center and public spaces (parks, squares, universities, etc.), evacuates squats and takes more security forces to protect goods, tourism, construction, and in general the gentrification and investment plans at the expense of the poor and persecuted.

With this move we want to remind in every direction that for us no cop can sleep peacefully and everyone has a responsibility from the moment they consciously decide to support the state and sovereignty with their work.

We dedicate this action to the memory of the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

We send incendiary signals of solidarity to the anarchist comrades Marianna and Dimitra who are being prosecuted for the same case

Berlin, Germany: Claim for arson attack on Micro Resist Technology company, which specializes in the production of microchips

Posted on 2025/07/15 by darknights

Shutting down the heart of the megamachine – Fire of microchip production

Last night, we set fire to fuse boxes, supply cables and a ventilation system belonging to Micro Resist Technology on the grounds of the Wuhlheide Innovation Park. While Germany is once again unrestrainedly mobilizing for military strength and war capability with a turnaround, special funds and compulsory military service, we are targeting the heart of the technological mega-machine with our sabotage and, with microchip production, are also hitting one of the most sensitive points of civil-military cooperation. This attack is intended as a contribution to the protests against National Veterans Day next Sunday – fire and flame instead of glory and honor for militarism, soldiering and fatherland!

Tiny giants at the intersection of technology and war

The web of capitalist domination is tightening ever tighter around us. Technological progress is the engine that drives the destructive mega-machine and allows it to penetrate ever further into the most intimate areas of our existence. Inanimate objects made of plastic and metal, which, equipped with sensors, microphones, lenses, microchips etc., are increasingly becoming prostheses for social interaction, replacing genuine, empathetic relationships and causing our cognitive abilities to atrophy. At the same time, we are being tracked at every turn by social media, voice assistants, artificial intelligence, “smart” devices, facial recognition and many other surveillance tools, whereby everything we do is being increasingly incorporated into the capitalist value chain. Big data becomes big money. The implementation of such technologies in our everyday lives shapes our existence and the algorithmic calculations derived from them increasingly decide and determine our future. Once we have become accustomed to them, these mechanisms have such an all-encompassing effect that it is almost inconceivable for most people today to escape their digital grasp. For many, even the thought of it triggers anxiety. What remains is an army of slaves to the machine, dependent, controlled, externally determined and not even aware of this relationship.

However, this is only one side of the technological attack. Technology can and should not only manipulate our thoughts and actions, it should also kill. Almost all relevant technologies can be traced back to military research and development in order to gain advantages on the battlefield. Not only against hostile nations, but also in the social war against the exploited, superfluous and precarious of the population. From nuclear power to the internet, from cybernetics to artificial intelligence – our everyday lives are permeated by things that have a military logic at their core. In extreme cases, this can mean that apps that playfully accompany us through the day today feed and train the same machines on the basis of which an AI-controlled drone will determine and destroy its target tomorrow. A practice that is sometimes used by the Israeli military in particular through AI programs such as “Lavender” in their unleashed campaign of destruction against the Palestinian population of Gaza and with the friendly support of their Western accomplices. What seems like an episode from a dystopian science fiction movie is the gruesome reality of technological “achievements”, which are summarized under the term “dual-use” and are inherent in most technologies. Companies such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Siemens, Telekom and Tesla are just some of the best-known players operating at the interface between civil and military applications. Companies that produce highly specialized key technologies such as microchips/semiconductors, without which none of the modern technical devices would work, are far less well known. Smartphones, computers or cars just as little as tanks, guided missiles or war drones.
