France: Black Out. Controversy about meaning and efficiency of sabotage

Posted on 2024/01/10 by darknights

We present the English translation of the French publication ‘Black Out. Controversy about meaning and efficiency of sabotage’

Between February and March 2020, all over the world, heads of state made solemn and grave announcements in order to prepare their populations for what appeared to be a new era : one of war against the virus. Within a couple months, the sabotage of telecommunication infrastructures had almost become a daily event in France, as well as in other European countries. Simultaneously, a debate sprang up within anarchist and radical ecological publications, in particular about the meaning and efficiency of these acts. How could we undermine technological control ? Could we provoke a tipping point within this situation? What scenarios did these sabotages open up ? How could we consider efficiency, organization and ethics altogether? Nowadays, the situation has evolved, but the problems brought up by the following texts remain unresolved, maybe even more so now, and without obvious answers : what are the links between direct action and social or ecological movements? What strategies emerge when we separate or combine anarchist, ecologist and techno-critical perspectives? How do these strategies integrate a now-decisive element : the war in Europe, which will guide and harden the grip of states on their populations.

Rome, Italy: Claim of incendiary attack on a TIM network distribution office in solidarity with all imprisoned anarchists around the world

Posted on 2023/03/14 by darknights

Claim of incendiary attack on a TIM network distribution office in solidarity with all imprisoned anarchists around the world (March 9, 2023)

Tim headquarters attacked

In the middle hours of the night between Thursday and Friday, March 9, we attacked a TIM network distribution office in a Rome neighborhood.

Outside the facility, a building above which are located several antennas and a giant repeater, was a closed room whose door indicated the presence of electrical instrumentation, which is why we thought it might be both a data center and the power source for the antennas and the facility itself.

We then broke into the room by opening the door with a crowbar, after which it was enough to pour gasoline on the electrical panels and cables and control units. Under the various switchboards or servers were large diameter cables, probably used to transmit data to/from the repeater. We delayed the ignition with a few little tricks and disappeared.

Due to the silence of the regimental media about the incident, we do not know exactly the extent of the damage, i.e., how many meters and switchboards are damaged; what is certain is that a fire broke out with a resounding deflagration.

TIM is actively cooperating in the ongoing technical/technological catastrophe and is at the forefront of fiber optic and 5G extension.

In addition, TIM is cooperating with those in power, the state and jailers, in the implementation of electronic bracelets aimed at monitoring people held under house arrest.

We learn from the press how the company is facing several technical distribution problems (so-called tim down), all the more reason to attack it as malicious damage adds to their inefficiency. Striking while the iron is hot: strike, strike again, strike better until the destruction of the prison company.

TIM, the state and the bosses are everywhere, to each his choice.

Turin, Italy: Claim of incendiary attack on a telecommunications cell tower in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end

Claim of incendiary attack on a telecommunications cell tower in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end (Turin, Jan. 28, 2023)

DIRECT ACTION AGAINST TELEPHONE REPEATERS FOR ALFREDO AGAINST 41 BIS

On the night of 27.01 to 28.01, we attacked a cell tower with fire and with immense pleasure, in response to the international call to action in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (from 22.01 to 28.01). Alfredo has been on hunger strike since 20.10 against 41 BIS and hostile life imprisonment.

On that night we arrived, with a smile on our faces, in the woods of the Turin hillside, increasingly cemented by the presence of the rich and infested with numerous repeaters, sources of innumerable harmfulness, both environmentally and socially.
Attacking a repeater used by IREN (a company that also operates some incinerators in Italy), WIND (one of the promoters of 5G/civilian and military use and artificial intelligence), private surveillance companies and the police, was the least we could do.

This is our small but confrontational and determined contribution to the struggle that is being carried out with great courage and firmness by our comrade Alfredo.

Last November 3, in Grugliasco (To), someone thought well of damaging a 4/5G antenna; we only continued in the same direction with further precision and with the will to sabotage that daily “normality” indifferent to the violence that power carries out every day.

The current hypersupervising and invasive technological society is creating a hyper-connected and digitized world that does not want to give a chance to those who resist and those who do not want to become accomplices of an energy-intensive system aimed at infinite production capable only of creating death and devastation in every part of the moribund globe.

Our enemy, the state, always thinks that by repressing one of us, it can intimidate a thousand; but now is the time to make them understand, once and for all, that their calculations sometimes do not add up.
It is time to consolidate certain practices (the direct actions) that not a few individualities have put in place in recent months. It is time to continue in that direction with additional strength and new forward momentum, without hesitation or fear.

It has been a long time since there have been numerous sabotage of 4/5G antennas and fiber optic installations in France (from 01.01.2022 to 30.10.2022 there are more than 104), as well as direct actions against some wind farms. Even in “our” territories, where the natural and animal world is increasingly domesticated, enslaved and musealized, it is time to raise our heads and act firmly, lucidly and precisely. If not now when?

With your head, with your heart, with your hands, alongside Alfredo and all the people who do not give up.

DESTROY TO CREATE
CREATE TO DESTROY

DEATH TO THE STATE!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Rome, Italy: Claim of the arson attack on five TIM telecommunications company vehicles in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Anna Beniamino, Ivan Alocco and all anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2023/01/31 - 2023/01/31 by darknights

We receive from anonymous email and publish:

In the early hours of the night of Monday, January 30, we carried out an incendiary action against TIM. The attack was conducted by breaking into the parking lot of one of its offices and setting fire to 5 vehicles. Tim actively collaborates in social control through the installation of the fiber optic network, cameras and electronic bracelets.

Power and its ramifications are everywhere, and anyone who wants to strike at it is spoiled for choice. Take action today, without waiting for more propitious moments or compromising, just as power rages daily and hourly against our lives, revolt must also be daily and permanent.

Let the fire of denial blaze more and more in the cities with an indomitable force to spread chaos in your world of order and repression.

Let the murderous state and the bosses know that this is only the beginning and more than a threat it is a promise.

Municipal police targeted in Thouars

Courrier de l’ouest/La Nlle République (newspaper), 10 octobre 2022

It was 6.30am, this 10 october monday, in Thouars city hall backyard (department Deux Sèvres), when a maintenance worker heard crackin noises. And noticed someone escaping. In the night, he saw flames devouring a vehicle. Firepeople quickly intervene : 31 firepeople are engaged and a fire hose is used. The calcined corpse is the one of the second intervention vehicle from municipal police.

This monday morning, the staff of the town hall is appalled. Firepeople limited the spread of flames to the wood parts of a reprography office, located in an annex building of Thouars town hall. A computer has also been damaged and the office will be unusable for some times. Upper floor windows, which is the temporary local of the municipal police, are also heavily damaged.

Haute Vallée de l’Aude : Mobile network breakdown caused by vandalism act

L’indépendant
, 23 septembre 2022 (extract)

Since 9:30am, this 23rd september friday, many Haute Vallée households, especially in Quillan and Espéraza, are deprived of mobile and internet network. Reached, Orange operator specify that the breakdown has a vandalism act made on a optical fiber cable in the commune of Quillan for cause.

Apart from individuals, professionnals have also been touched by this breakdown : Bank paying terminals could not work in several shops.

(And, as the newspaper doesn’t precise to not give bad ideas, contrarily to the “Orange/Occitanie local loop intervention team responsible” who has published on twitter the linked photo. It’s along the TER (regional train) railway, after a swale was lifted, that a section of this cable was voluntarily cut.)

Toulouse, France: Unraveling the web

Posted on 2021/11/25 by darknights

19/11/2021

During the night of November 17 to 18 in Toulouse North district, 4 vans of a fiber optic installation company, burned.

The COP26 has just come to an end and the media debate is focused on the choice of a source of energy capable of making France sovereign and not appearing crude in terms of pollution. In this apocalyptic landscape, the expansion of broadband internet is at its peak and already announces a society where the state will need more and more energy to dematerialize the whole economy via internet. That’s why we tried to block the way to a company that installs fiber optics in businesses by setting their vehicles on fire.
