Grenoble, France: Revenge against the eviction machine, the racist city hall and its collabos

Posted on 2021/12/20 by darknights

In response to the eviction of the Alliance Park camp and the closure of the camp site on rue des alliés, during the night of the 16th to the 17th, an Eiffage car was hit in its windscreen and a car-sharing Citiz car was set on fire.

At the alliance park, the city hall, the prefecture and their shitty cops did not hesitate to put dozens of people on the street and in even more precarious situations, destroying their tents with their belongings and papers inside. While it is less than 0 degrees every night.
It’s not a few poor nights in a hotel for the people that will redeem your image, you bunch of idiots.
The policy of not welcoming exiles in France and in Europe is tightening more and more.
How many more people will die?

Eiffage is helping to build CRAs, Citiz is helping Grenoble to become so smart city.
The greens are playing it green and progressive but they are just as filthy as the others.
Firing the undesirables, attracting investors and good French people, increasing control via smartphones with cars, scooters, car-sharing bikes. What a project.

Material and emotional solidarity with the exiles is important, but so is the offensive against the oppressors.

This communique is a call to put pressure on City Hall and its allies by attacking the equipment and the people who make this beautiful system work.

Italy: The truth can be upsetting but it is still the truth

THE TRUTH CAN BE UPSETTING BUT IT IS STILL THE TRUTH

In the night between 1st and 2nd September we were stopped in Via Cavour and accused of having put up posters without permission. A simple administrative sanction was not enough for the police, they wanted to pile it on by charging us with “publication or spreading of fake, exaggerated or tendentious news aimed at upsetting public order” (Art. 656 of the penal code). To be accused of spreading fake news precisely by those who defend a system which always lies, manipulating and terrorizing the population with the aim of legitimatizing the most abject political and repressive practices is paradoxical to say the least.

But what did those posters say that was fake?

Is it not true perhaps that society is aiming for the complete digitalization of every aspect of our lives, even the most intimate? Continue reading “Italy: The truth can be upsetting but it is still the truth” →

Italy: Let’s stop the 5G network and the digitalisation of our lives

Let’s stop the 5G network and the digitalisation of our lives

Let human imagination prevail over artificial stupidity

THE MYTH OF PROGRESS

Our era is based on the myth of progress, a myth that imposes the attainment of every possibility offered by technological development, without considering the consequences that might result from it. Industrial society, in order to solve the current catastrophe and the irreparable consequences of technological development, is giving us digitisation, automation, artificial intelligence, smart cities and objects as the only solutions. Further irreversible damage can only come from technological society, so the starting point must be to radically question it.

A STRANGLEHOLD ON FREEDOM

We only have to look around us to realise that the deterioration of living conditions is progressing at the same speed as the arrival on the market of new technological gadgets. We saw this with the global spread of the Covid-19, when the deep contradictions of this model of society became evident. During confinement, for many people, work, school and sociability took place ‘at a distance’ and digitally. All this happened at a disconcerting speed. Our contacts and movements have been tracked through apps, smartphones and drones. Under the guise of health and safety, the stranglehold on individual freedom was tightened even further.

THE 5G NETWORK

While people were confined to their homes, in many cities the preparatory work for the 5G network was intensified. But what is it? The 5G network is not just a way of using the internet faster. It is much more important. The 5G network is the essential infrastructure for the realisation of the ‘smart planet’: a world of hyper-connected devices that collect and process data and information about the environment and people, a world of machines that are able to solve and constrain all human dreams and needs along predetermined paths. This network will irreversibly transform our perception of the world and the way we live in it. It will invade every aspect of our lives: from work to school, from life in cities to the management of people’s health, from the way we wage war to the exploitation of people and the environment in distant countries.

Genova, Italy – Two Repeaters Sabotaged With Fire by Anarchists For The Destruction Of The Existent

OPPRESSION: AN ENDEMIC EVIL OF OUR EXISTENCE
– BRIEF HISTORY –

State or pseudo-state oppression dates back thousands of years, and has had very precise stages that begin with the birth of the first cities, which then evolved into city-states, kingdoms, empires.
Those who chose to live outside these “organizations” could live as they wished.

With the French revolution was born the first modern government, centralized, homologating that cancels uses, customs and habits in spite of the directives of parliament.
Revolts and resistances to this change were fierce and equally fierce were repressed.

The industrial revolution arrived, the mother of all revolutions.
With it came the foundations of capitalism, which evolved into what it is today.
Unlike the states, capitalism knows no boundaries as well as the riots against it throughout the 800 and most of the 900 interested Europe and the United States.

In the present day, science comes into the picture, as a partner of state and capital.
Technological advancement is another tool evolved by capitalism, generates profit and opens new doors to industrial development.
From carriages to cars, from rural agriculture to mechanized agriculture, from wars with bow and arrow to wars with drones.

Scientists have always been ready to lend their help to authority and repression, refining the means of propaganda such as radio, TV, press, internet and arming the states with deadly and destructive weapons.

Companies such as Ansaldo Nucleare, Piaggio Aerospace, Leonardo, IIT, ENI are the pride of the Italian state as regards the development of war, technology and energy.
But for us anarchists are the personification of evil and as such must be destroyed for the abominations of which they are guilty.
Each of these companies are synonymous with war, devastation and repression. Continue reading “Genova, Italy – Two Repeaters Sabotaged With Fire by Anarchists For The Destruction Of The Existent” →
