From Scenes from the Atlanta Forest

After reading A Few Words Against Rats (see below), we wanted to address a point that is not specifically mentioned: anarchist or anarchist-adjacent journalists. No one should be filming or photographing riotous moments, no matter who is holding the camera, without exception.

Rail Attacked in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

ATTACK!

From La Nemesi

Full original title: Claim of sabotage act against rail lines in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike (Rome, Italy, November 6, 2022)

On the night of November 6, we sabotaged high-speed rail and other train lines in several places in the city. Writings against 41 bis were left at the site. The goal of this action was to give visibility to the struggle of Alfredo and the other prisoners on hunger strike. The action, despite being successful (we verified that there were heavy delays to circulation the following day) was silenced by the media.

DB relay antenna burned down – Attack militarism!

attack!

via Dark Night

We attacked the Deutsche Bahn as part of the logistics of war in Europe. We have not forgotten that this company has been involved in arms deliveries for years (even if at the moment it is trying to whitewash its image with “humanitarian” deliveries to Ukraine). In particular, every day our friends in Rojava are killed with weapons delivered by the DB. There is a close cooperation between the DB and the fascist regime of Erdogan.

Russia: The End of Peaceful Protest

via raddle.me

Peaceful and "legal" protest in Russia has been suppressed. Moreover, it is now impossible in principle: in a matter of days, the state has adopted a package of laws which make even shouting "No to War!" illegal. And liberal human rights activists are already handing out instructions: don't shout and write "No to War!", while pro-government journalists are making Orwell spin in his coffin by seriously producing stories that the slogan "No to War" came from Nazi leaflets.

Get (the fuck) out, slumlord, parasite, hoarded wealth, they graffitied in black or red permutations on the walls and fences of nine vacant homes in West Oakland, California, stolen land they said, held in the portfolio of Sullivan Management Company (SMC) East Bay. Later that morning of May 2, 2021, an anonymous group released a communiqué claiming the actions through Indybay, a local independent media site.

Plywood Taken Down at City Hall

Hi, it’s the anarchists. We saw in the newspaper that city officials put up some plywood boards to stop unhoused people from staying warm next to the heating vents at the back of City Hall. We – like everyone else with a pulse – found this absolutely despicable. Facilities director Rom D’Angelo says it’s an issue of “safety” for City Hall staff. What about the safety of the people trying not to freeze to death? He didn’t mention it. So we just quickly popped out, grabbed some buds, and went to see how easy it was to take down.Turns out, it’s very easy.

Case Revisited - Kaczynski's Lingering Influence in 2021

Kelley and I discuss the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, and his life. We discuss how his anti-technology beliefs and extreme outlook resonate with events and radical, anti-government movements in this current day and age. And finally we explore what lessons can be learned by looking at this case in hindsight.

See the full video and transcript below. I edited the text slightly for clarity’s sake, just to remove filler words and put anything I forgot to say in.
