This is the beautiful scene of destruction left after a village post office was completely obliterated when ATM raiders armed with gas canisters targeted it last April.

The attack is the latest in a series of 20-plus raids on ATMs in the same area in the last year.

This time, the destructive blast tore off the front of the shop and left the cash machine a twisted wreck.

The raiders used gas canisters and escaped with money from the dispenser in the residential area.

Just four months ago, a similar raid destroyed the post office in Long Ashton, five miles away.

There has also been a spate of other attacks on ATMs in the Avon and Somerset area since January last year – many involving the use of gas.

Authorities finally confirm stingray (IMSI) use in prison island—in Scottish prisons

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil

stingray

The Scottish Prison Service has confirmed that it used IMSI catchers (aka “stingrays”) at two prisons in Scotland. This is the first confession of official stingray use by UK authorities, though they are almost certainly being used elsewhere in the country as well.

The SPS are using both mobile and static stingray devices at HMP Shotts in Lanarkshire and HMP Glenochil near Alloa. The SPS spent more than £1.2 million spying on both prisons. It appears that the SPS were trialing stingray tech at Shotts and Glenochil before potentially rolling it out to other prisons.

While stingrays can be used to snoop on conversations or otherwise gather intelligence, it appears that in this case the SPS were using IMSI catchers to stamp out mobile phone use at the prisons (it’s supposedly a crime to use a mobile phone in prison). IMSI catchers work by tricking nearby mobile devices to connect to them, rather than an official base station. The stingray can then be used to triangulate the user’s location, or to simply block the connection. Continue reading →

Italy: Insurrection or revolution?

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil

Translated by act for freedom now!

Udine, 2nd May 2016

A few points for thought

We are used to considering the words ‘insurrection’ and ‘revolution’ to mean the same thing. But do they really?

A revolution is a radical change of the existing order. Like reformism it seeks to change the existing order, with the difference that with reformism the change is gradual rather than radical. Theoretically the three methods, reform, revolution and insurrection, could or rather should assume the same basic impulse of the negation of the existent, given that – as reason would have it – if one desires something other and affirms it, one is denying the present.

Besides not existing, the future is the negation of the present on a theoretical level. In the present historical context – the aborted debate on insurrection and revolution in the configuration of revolutionary perspectives of the past is another question – the revolutionary horizon is an abstraction of the other [translator’s italics] present, that is to say the future, the ultimate non-place, it being an absolutely other time, also in relation to the plan of ongoing existence, to use an Aristotelian category. However, apart from a few distinctions to be considered elsewhere, reform, revolution and insurrection say nothing to us about the other they would like, only that they aspire to the other and the method they mean to use to achieve it. What we have said so far, and will say, concerns one of the two elements to be gone into here, namely why insurrection is to be preferred to revolution.

But there is another aspect, that of context, which leads to the same conclusions, whether we like it or not. Here we are talking of the historical impossibility of a revolution.

London: Immigration raid chased off on Deptford High St, “racist van” trashed

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil

deptford-van-1

From: Rabble Ldn

On Monday afternoon the neighbourhood of Deptford, South East London, chased away a Home Office “Immigration Enforcement” raid team. The Home Office bullyboys had reportedly been spotted several times in the previous week doing so-called “intelligence gathering”. I.e., trying to harass shopkeepers into giving them permission to carry out “operations” in their premises so they don’t have to go to the hassle of getting a court warrant. On Monday they came back in greater force, but people gathered and sent them away empty handed. They drove off in several unmarked cars but abandoned their marked “racist van” in a back street, which was then refurbished with the windows smashed and messages written in spray paint (see pictures).

East London: 9 cops injured as youth throw bricks during rave riot

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil
rave

Scumoween rave riot last year in Lambeth.

Nine cops got the treatment they deserved as they tried to shut down a rave attended by thousands of people on a Barking industrial estate last Saturday night.

Revellers responded by hurling bricks at cops in riot gear and dog handlers in a five-hour battle that locals described as a “storm of people”. Youths demolished a wall to throw bricks at the pigs. Lots of the cops got head injuries, with even one seen walking away dazed with his head pouring blood.

Nine ravers were arrested as 1,000 people were evicted from the building while another 1,000 outside were dispersed.

One resident said: “We’d just got into bed when they turned up with a van and sound systems. We could hear the drum and bass music blaring out and saw a few people jump over the fence.”

The area was littered with broken bricks, bottles and cans, empty capsules of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) & several cars were smashed up during the disorder.

Last year at the annual Scumoween Halloween free party a riot broke out in Lambeth, South London, as the cops tried to close down with violence a free rave attended by hundreds and got the kicking they deserved back.

The potential for London to burn again is still there underneath the fake fabric of the calm city of London.

Hull: Cop car has its tyres slashed on estate

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil

A pig mobile had its tyres slashed and number plate taken as a cop tried to get local residents to snitch on ‘crime’ in Orchard Park, Hull.

The humiliated cop is now hoping that the Homethorpe area of the housing estate will snitch on the attackers, in his own words ‘shop the culprit.’

Obviously he does not know the popular phrase ‘snitches get stitches!’

Moving towards the next ‘Fire On The Horizon’

Posted on 2016/06/21 by egonihil

burningcar

To begin with we are not interested in long introductions, we are against over worded texts that reek of posturing and not enough praxis!

The project ‘Fire on the Horizon’ will speak for itself, disseminating counter-info that is about & related to the conflict against the prison island.  To incite, to open eyes, to reach out to free thinking minds, making the rage boil over of accomplices who are willing to awaken, to act upon their own individual desires. There is no interest in begging for consensus in order to govern the masses or adhering without critique to false promises of utopias, doctrines, ideologies that reek of any new authority.

What interests us is the continuous conflict, the never ending insurrection, the willingness to leave the cages rather than just sit on top of them, to let wild chaotic anarchy fly free, elevating beyond the nightmare that is the technological metropolis of control & order…

What we move towards is the next fire on the horizon!

“That night we kept our eyes fixed on the horizon and saw many falling stars drawing their own chaotic paths. And we counted them over and over, we made wishes, calculated the odds. We knew that our desire for a free life had to step over all that oppresses us, murders us, destroys us, so we dived into the void just like the shooting stars we were observing. Since then innumerable stars have fallen, perhaps it’s time for our star to fall, who knows? If we had the answers ready, we wouldn’t have become what we are, but selfish bastards who would teach people how to become rodents that eat each other as they do today. At least we still remain implacable and stubborn like the people of our kind. And those of us who closed their eyes in pain and travelled far continue to keep their eyes stuck on that night sky we also observed. And they watch us fall, beautiful and shining stars. Now it’s our turn. Now, without hesitation, we fall.”
