LONG LIVE THE STUDENT INTIFADA FOR PALESTINE LIBERATION
STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW
UC SYSTEM MUST DIVEST FROM ISRAEL OR FACE OUR WRATH OF REVENGE
BLESSED IS THE FLAME
Around 4am on June 1 2024, an incendiary device was placed below a UC Berkeley police vehicle parked in front of UCPD station. The device was lit underneath the back left wheel of a police SUV, placed between the tire and underside of fuel tank. There were too many people around at the time to see the final result. Unsure if it caught the tire and fuel tank. But the device has enough fuel in it to torch the entire car if it was successfully placed.
This act was done in retaliation against UCPD, for their attack on students yesterday on a different campus and to retaliate against the University of California for its support for the zionist israel settler colony. More specifically – this attempt to torch a police car in front of the university was in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings assaulted by the zionist state in Rafah. It came from a place of love for Palestine, and love for revolution and liberation of all oppressed people.
This act was:
In solidarity with the students attacked by the fascist police state at uc santa cruz. In solidarity with the students attacked by zionist street collaborators at uc los angeles. In solidarity with the uc berkeley students seizing the time and taking back Hines Hall.
In solidarity with the resistance axis for Palestinian life, liberation, and total decolonization of the zionist occupied lands. For an end to the genocide of our beloved Palestine, and an end to the anti-Black and colonial genocide destroying our loved ones here.
A life worth living is a life in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings, who face down the settler’s scope with every movement, or every day. A life worth living is a life in solidarity with the Ohlone people. We continue to return the land with this offering. A life worth living is in solidarity with our Black and Brown siblings continuously surviving and thriving in the face of genocidal state violence here in the Bay Area.
Blessed is the flame that burns down the settler-plantation.
Blessed are the rockets that will free thousands of prisoners held captive by the zionist settler entity and US colonizer police state.
May the spirit of Revolutionary Anti-colonialism unearth the truth from beneath these occupied lands.
Our heart will forever be tied to the fate of Rafah
Knife to the throat of zionism
Death to amerikkka
Glory to the martyrs

To the Palestinian Resistance,
To the student uprisings,
To all those who struggle for liberation,
We took a strike against Caterpillar for their complicity in the settler colonial state, the Zionist regime, that has wreaked havoc on the lives of Palestinians for decades.
Today we struck several Caterpillar heavy machines as they lay dormant overnight, preventing them from working the next day.
Caterpillar decidedly chose a side by supplying the IOF with bulldozers as early as 1956 for use in the Sinai War and to this day they have not wavered from this position. During the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle the armored D9 bulldozer, which is a Caterpillar product, has been used in countless attacks against the Palestinian Resistance and people. In the early 2000’s during the Second Intifada, the Zionist regime demolished over 3,000 Palestinian homes, and murdered US activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah. The D9’s were used in the Battle of Jenin to destroy houses with fighters inside and raze the center of the Jenin refugee camp. During the Gaza War in 2008, 100 bulldozers were used to destroy Palestinian homes. In 2022, the D9’s demolished eight Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in yet another example of the long running Zionist genocidal project.
The Palestinian Resistance has renewed its struggle at the end of last year, fighting successfully to push the occupation out of Gaza and deploying clever tactics against a highly militarized enemy. The D9’s were brought out by the IDF once again to destroy farmland, desecrate a burial ground, to attack the Kamal Adwan Hospital, crushing the people who had been sheltering inside.
Caterpillar is clearly an agent and symbol of terror. We strike against it today to show our solidarity with those whose lives have been taken by the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer. Since Caterpillar has joined the war, it can face attacks on any terrain. We strike at Caterpillar today to show our solidarity with and appreciation for the Palestinian fighters who have provided an inspiration for freedom fighters around the world.
Finally, living in the United States, the main supporter and funder of Zionist settler colonialism, it is our duty to become a thorn in its side. It cannot dispense terror half way around the globe and expect to continue without repercussions.

Incendiary attack on Armin Papperger
Switch off Rheinmetall!
On the night of April 28 to 29, 2024, we carried out an incendiary attack on the Armin Papperger’s property in Hermannsburg, Turnerstr. on the corner of Immenhoop, where an incendiary device was placed on his garden shed. Papperger is CEO of Rheinmetall, one of the big players in the German armaments industry.
Papperger feels at home here in the Südheide. Surrounded by military training areas and not far from the GÜZ combat training center in the Altmark. The Rheinmetall plant in Unterlüß is only a stone’s throw away. This is where thousands of forced laborers who worked for the German war economy at the Rheinmetall-Borsig Rheinmetall-Borsig plant for the German war economy. In a region where, after the war where many National Socialists found refuge after the war, including Adolf Eichmann and the murderer of the Adreatinian Caves, Kappler. In a region where in the 1980s and 1990s regular Nazi military exercises took place regularly in the 1980s and 1990s. Not far from Papperger’s house is Munster, one of the largest military bases in Germany. In he feels safe and well accepted in this environment, including by his friends with whom the hobby hunter occasionally goes stalking. But tonight may have signaled to him that he doesn’t just have friends and that his retreat is not safe.
Rheinmetall is one of the beneficiaries of the so-called turnaround. This can be clearly seen from a few figures: Since 2022, the Rheinmetall’s share price has quintupled since 2022; Papperger himself has replenished his share portfolio with Rheinmetall shares several times. In 2023 the Group, which has been promoted to the DAX index, increased its turnover to 7.2 billion euros, with a target of 10 billion euros for 2024. Before February 2022 the annual production of artillery shells was 70,000 units, 350,000 in 2023 and 700,000 in 2024. Following the takeover of the Spanish ammunition company Expal, Rheinmetall sees itself as the the world’s largest manufacturer of artillery ammunition. The groundbreaking ceremony for a for a new production facility in Unterlüß was attended by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Ukrainian ambassador and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (“Germany must become fit for war”). The new factory is expected to 200,000 shells a year.
Papperger is one of the arms managers with a particularly high media presence. The days when the armaments industry suffered from its image are over. In March 2024, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck assured at a meeting of the 20 most important German arms manufacturers: “We need this industry!” Self-confident and offensively, killing machines can now be presented and advertised. And Rheinmetall has other things to offer besides ammunition, of course tanks in particular: the Lynx and Puma infantry fighting vehicles, the Boxer wheeled tank and the Skyranger anti-aircraft tank. For the Leopard Rheinmetall produces the gun barrel. Rheinmetall also stockpiles various old tank types, which have now been sold to Ukraine, complete with ammunition at a hefty profit. But parts production for the US F35 fighter jet is also on offer.
Rheinmetall plans, produces and murders not only on a national framework. The Group employs over 30,000 workers worldwide in 28 countries. A new ammunition production facility is planned in Ukraine and a maintenance plant for tanks is also due to open there in summer 2024. In addition, the production of infantry fighting battle tanks is also planned. There are also plans for an artillery factory and Rheinmetall is developing a completely new type of battle tank. In the USA, Rheinmetall is participating in tenders and is close to winning a 45 billion dollar contract for the successor to the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. The development of the Russian market is now off the table for the time being. But as recently as 2011, Rheinmetall concluded a contract with the Russian government for the delivery of a training center for the Russian army and saw itself in the role of a pioneer and door opener.
However, the so-called turnaround does not only mean gigantic rearmament armament and new record profits for the arms industry. It also means a reorientation of the entire society towards war. Politicians from almost all parties are outdoing each other with proposals. The reintroduction of compulsory military service, military education in schools, interlinking research and the military,…
The fact that armies and the arms industry are the biggest destroyers of the environment, devour gigantic amounts of resources and, of course, are also the and are of course also the biggest producers of greenhouse gases.
The fight against climate destruction is also the fight against war, the military and the arms industry!
War starts here, let’s stop it here!
Switch off the system of destruction!
Freedom for Daniela!
Strength and luck to all those in hiding from of the radical left and those who agree to militantly attack structures of power!

The Final Straw Radio Podcast Interview With Imprisoned Anarchist Toby Shone
US web-based The Final Straw Radio Podcast has a new interview with imprisoned anarchist Toby Shone in which he gives a background to Operation Adream, his arrest and trial and his recent recall to prisons plus the involvement of the security services in his case and the ongoing harrassment that he has suffered in HMP Garth.
https://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2024/03/03/…
A Request By Solidarity Group For Toby Shone
The solidarity group for Toby Shone would like to ask that anyone writing to him could also take a moment to let us know that you have sent him a letter by dropping an email to forestcase@riseup.net
HMP Garth are telling him – as have other prisons he has been in – that he has no mail. The State and the pigs are desperate to isolate Toby and to make him believe that he has no support. This is stated in his probation paperwork as a goal of his probation team and the National Security Division.
Let’s not let them win! We have no control over whether the prison gives Toby his mail and books. We do however have control over writing to him and letting his support group know that you have so that even if he doesn’t receive it, he knows it was sent to him. A letter sent by recorded delivery so that we can tell Toby that yes, this letter arrived on such and such a date is even better.
Toby is very resilient and is always in good spirits. However, he has been very unwell, has lost a considerable amount of weight as a result of the lack of food and calorie count typical of Britain’s jails and now faces a month of no visits due to confusion over bookings. So now would be a really really good time to send Toby a postcard, a letter or an email (and then let us know that you have).
Thanks a million.
The State is the Terrorist.
No one is Alone!

On the night of Friday, February 23rd we attacked three subsidiaries of Nationwide insurance in Tuscon, Arizona, smashing their windows and vandalizing their buildings. We were able to do this easily and quickly with only a small group of friends. It was easy, fast, and brought us great joy. We write this hoping it raises your spirits as well.
This action is something that can be replicated any night, in any city. The continued work on cop city in Atlanta is only possible due to the support of Nationwide insurance and their many subsidiaries, and these same companies allow for the proliferation of militarized police projects everywhere.
We believe every supporter of cop city and anything like it must be destroyed completely, and we know there is a whole world fighting with us. Our enemies are everywhere, but we are not deterred by the long list of targets. We know the forest is everywhere, and most importantly we are everywhere.
To the many foot soldiers and bureaucrats of the genocidal police state we have only to say: you can’t hide, we are going to find you and we will destroy you. You cannot escape your complicity no matter how small. We do not care if you hide behind fortresses, walls, security guards, or the power of the state, these illusions will never protect you. Not only will we attack you we will attack everything within the walls of your fortress, everyone you associate with, and everything you think keeps you safe.
We are undeterred by your repression, and we will not stop until everyone is free.
For Tortuguita, for Palestine, for abolition, for total liberation,
For the sugauros and every moment we have together,
We’ll never stop fighting,
-Some Anarchists

As civilian casualties continue to mount in Gaza, global calls for countries to halt arms sales to Israel grow. The United States Senate has approved a bill committing $14bn to support Israel’s war on Gaza this week.
Even before the start of the war last October, the US firmly supported Israel with the supply of military equipment, contributing $3bn annually in military aid. Many other countries provide military support to Israel via arms sales.
Civilian casualties continue to mount in Gaza – currently standing at more than 28,000 dead with thousands more trapped under rubble and presumed dead in just four months of bombardment and ground invasions. The rising death toll is prompting international condemnation.
On Monday, the European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, commented on US President Joe Biden’s description of Israel’s response to the October 7 Hamas attacks as “over the top”. “Well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed,” Borrell told reporters.
So which countries continue to send weapons to Israel?
According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s arms transfers database, 68 percent of Israel’s weapons imports between 2013 and 2022 came from the US.
The US military also stockpiles weapons on the ground in Israel, presumably for use by the US army itself. However, the US has allowed Israel to make use of some of these supplies during the Gaza war.
Besides the US, Israel also receives military imports from other nations.

One APD vehicle was burned overnight as an initial response to the repressive operation of February 8, which involved three house raids and the arrest of John “Jack” Mazurek, who is being held without bail.
We wish to dispel any notion that people will take this latest wave of repression lying down, or that arresting alleged arsonists will deter future arsons.
Jack is accused of participating in the arson attack of July 1, 2023, when eight APD motorcyles were burned at the current police training center that Cop City is intended to replace. The group that claimed responsibility for that action called for the movement against Cop City to develop into an urban guerrilla struggle. This is still the only sensible course of action for anyone in Atlanta who considers themselves a serious revolutionary.
In light of recent arsons of construction equipment belonging to Cop City contractor Brent Scarbrough, the police needed to make a move to reassure their contractors and funders. Let’s not panic or be discouraged; we have them on the back foot. We will answer their aggression by keeping up the pace of attacks.
The cop car we burned was part of the APD’s “take-home car” program. There are at least 40 (well… 39) cops around Atlanta with patrol cars parked right in front of their houses. The opportunity to have a shiny new take-home car is reportedly the number-one reason for police retention. It is also intended to act as a crime deterrent in the neighborhood; we think that’s funny. This particular car was in Lakewood, the same neighborhood where two of the house raids took place. Our message is simple: if our comrades cannot sleep soundly in their homes, neither can the pigs.
We are not special. Our skills are not overly technical or advanced, and our tools are simple to acquire. If you are reading this, you are capable of doing what we do. We all have something to lose; it is simply a matter of living out our beliefs or submitting to the police state. Inaction is a choice just as much as action, and we all have to live with the choices we make.

We burned bulldozers and excavators being used to build another Urban Alchemy site in North Portland, where homeless Portlanders will be sent to live behind chainlink fencing and barbed wire under threat of violence and sweeps.
UA says it “provide complementary strategies to conventional policing and security”, and, like police, it’s employees have consistently used their positions to bully, degrade, steal from, and sexually assault those living within their fences.
We do not believe the destruction of their machines will halt construction long, but hope to see increasing offensive attacks accompany strategies of sweep and eviction defense.
The city will pay $40,000 per person per year for the planned site, far more expensive than renting each person their own apartment.
Of course, the city government is happy to pay a premium for ghettoization, pushing the most visible poor out of sight, out of mind, isolated from the rest of the city in an industrial corner behind the city’s waste processing facility.
We answer with fire.
