Construction equipment burned in Fayette County, police suspect arson
Several pieces of equipment were damaged in an early morning fire at a construction site next to a hospital in Fayette County and police suspect it is the work of arsonists.
Just after 4 a.m., Fayetteville police received calls reporting the fire.
When officers and Fayetteville Fire Department crews arrived at the construction site next to Piedmont Fayette Hospital, they saw several pieces of construction equipment were on fire.
The equipment belongs to Brasfield & Gorrie, one of the lead contractors for the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.
They are also a donor to the Atlanta Police Foundation.
Fayetteville police said it is too early in their investigation to know if the fire is related to the protests that destroyed equipment at the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center construction site.
In January, Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said there have been more than two dozen attacks in the metro Atlanta area and other states that have targeted companies that have worked on the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center.

DNA you say? Burn everything to burn longer: a guide to leaving no traces
Note from the No Trace Project:
We hope that this translation will help English-speaking anarchists to better understand and protect themselves against the dangers of DNA.
We added many footnotes, either to add information or to explain our disagreements with the original text, especially in the section “A protocol for two“. Our footnotes are preceded by “N.T.P. note”, whereas the original footnotes are not.
We did not include the original appendix which listed French forensic police laboratories and their suppliers, because we didn’t think it was relevant to an international audience.
Contents
- Introduction
- Once upon a time, there was DNA
- What are the police up to?
- The spit, the lighter, the rear-view mirror and the incendiary device

How to submit an anonymous communiqué and get away with it
A communiqué, also sometimes called a reportback or hit report, is a report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications. Mainstream media may suppress reporting about certain tactics or the reason for choosing a target may be unclear, so submitting a communiqué is a way to share news, tactics, and political motivations directly.This guide describes how to securely submit an anonymous communiqué online. It is written for anarchists, but could be useful to other audiences like journalists or dissident groups sharing information while concealing their identities. While some communiqués are signed by a group or individual claiming responsibility, this guide focuses on anonymity.
Nothing you do on computers or the internet is ever totally safe, but you can reduce most technology-based risk by following some simple steps. There are many methods beyond those shared here, but this is a set of instructions that will hopefully help you.
Key terms
Communiqué: A report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications.
Threat model: An analysis of risks that could compromise security, how likely they are to happen, and how they may be mitigated.
Tor: Short for “the onion router.” Tor is a strong anonymity system that routes your internet traffic through a series of random volunteer-run nodes across the planet. Learn more and download Tor Browser at torproject.org.
Browser: The application that allows you to access the internet. In addition to Tor Browser, other common examples include Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Chrome.
Operating system: Software programs that tell the hardware in a computer how to function. Common examples include Windows, Mac, Linux, and Tails.
Tails: An operating system that runs off a flash drive and leaves very few digital forensic traces on your computer. Tails also provides strong anonymity to your browsing traffic by routing all of it through Tor. Learn more and install at tails.net.
Stylometric analysis (stylometry): A forensics technique that analyzes word choice and style to identify authors and guess about their characteristics, for example regional dialect, education level, and unique word choice/phrases/typos.
Metadata: Data about data. For digital media, this is data contained within a photo or video file like camera type and date and time of capture. It can also refer to data about your typical patterns of internet use or date and time an account is created.
Disposable email: An anonymous email account that is temporary or single-use, typically with no login or account information. Also sometimes marketed as “spam email” sites.
Encryption: A method of hiding content in a message so it is only visible to your intended recipient.

Reflections
Nobody ever described what happens to the psyche pending a life sentence! This is serious and deadly business and depending on the circumstances, can feel worse than death! Remember your life goals and YOUR LOVED ONES before flirting with revolutionary violence. One may or may not agree with Stop Cop City’s (SCC) sociopolitical narrative or style of mainstream media presence, but SCC’s targets and methods are inarguably educational, inspiring and attractive. At the end of the day, nobody’s there for the American serial anarchist except the surveillance state, waiting on him or her to surrender or make a mistake. There is no romance, no army, no recognition, no heroic celebration, only the anarchist’s identity and family split apart and DESTROYED by his or her own hands. There’s nothing to achieve by a terrified community but the anarchist’s psychosis, alienation and repentance, no reconciliation between day and night, and his or her imaginary friends don’t exist or care! Life in the American corporate hellscape and military industrial complex goes on. Day after day remains unfulfilled, paranoid and uninspired. Nobody talks about how terrorism terrorizes the terrorist! Next time thoughts of boredom, nihilism and suicide pay a visit, pray instead of turning on terrorist autopilot. Do the opposite of what that little impulsive voice is saying to do. Distract oneself every time. Pet the cat. I promise, the aftermath of a successful attack isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in fantasy, and one can’t really trust a confidant even after taking precautions. Does anyone really want to fall in love with surveillance and paranoid delusions? Is it worth spending the rest of your life in a dog cage? Do you know how the body and psyche reacts in solitary confinement? Yes or no, don’t do it! Atlanta needs all anarchists on the sunny side of the fence.

I.C.L.A. – “A CONSCIOUS MESSAGE TO THE UNDERGROUND: ‘IT’S TERRIBLE! AND IT’S FINE.’” (2/19/2024)
Sent in by a supporter; statement attributed to “the I.C.L.A.”.
On March 5th, 2023, the sky over Weelaunee Forest exploded and the screams of roughly a hundred people, diving from gas cans in terror, ripped through the treeline. In a matter of minutes, barely an hour, the casual Woodstock vibe of the South River Festival, cultivated and well-maintained over the previous day by the sheer concentration of upper-middle class hippies and bohemians, collapsed under the yoke of the Atlanta Police Department’s retribution. In those minutes, without having to move an inch, the entire political mass – over two hundred ravers, tourists, journalists, oogles, forest defenders, and children – migrated from a somewhat transgressive concert to a militarized cordon, the terms and limits of which had been set by squads and columns of vindictive pigs. The mood of the crowd shifted on reflex: from the short-lived euphoria of momentary triumphs to panics that drove them to flee wildly into the trees or back to camp.
As the hours passed and night approached, it was clear to at least a handful of us that the cops intended to wear us down by attrition. They had deployed a sequence of tactics that would successively shock-and-awe the crowd, siphon off the less radical elements by giving them a legal exit, then reinforce the parameter to cast a wide net for trapping potential evacuees. Whoever they could grab among the frontlines in the field were detained and charged with “domestic terrorism,” whoever found themselves stumbling towards the safety of the adjoining residential streets, unknowingly into the web of armed columns, were simply gassed and beaten. That was what they wanted.
Organizers, catapulted against their will and idealism into the role, worked feverishly and haphazardly towards secreting people to safety. An anxious throng of small kids and their parents were led by a few scouts through a pitch-black clearing to a caravan that shuttled them back to the other side of the city. The bulk of the crowd didn’t vacate so much as disappear in a disjointed free-for-all while the ancillary police lines were called back in the hours that followed.
For a time, the constant insectoid hum and clicks of the surveillance drones were the only clear and present danger for those who remained with us at camp, which felt more in service of indignity than our case files. By 5AM, all that remained of the crude siege were the pigs’ leftovers dotted along the main artery of the field and the glorious monument to wreckage in the packed parking lot, very tired and very grumpy. Our fear, anxiety, and rage – an accumulation that gave us urgency, community, and only a few squabbles over nearly thirteen hours – had given way to a more generalized sense of despair and fatigue, then an acceptance of uncertainty, a diffident resolve.
While the rest of the camp finally rested, there was silence. The untended embers of the bonfire went out and the dark, cloaked in mist, fell everywhere. “No light, but only darkness visible.” Faceless, nameless, and struck by the beauty of the looming pines and the dew-soaked needles under my boots, I felt free. I stretched my fingers out into the air to feel the soft breeze move through my hands, and I felt love. When the pig sets foot in the forest, on the contrary, the pig feels fear, hate, and confusion. For this reason, the pig was driven out and barred from the woods with much ease and little effort. This was, is, and will be the essence and spirit of Weelaunee.
What was a temporary retreat for me, at what has ultimately been its breaking point, has been a hard-fought home for many others in the past two and a half years. It has been lost, retaken, and lost again in perpetuity. This is a zone where defenders have attempted to flow freely between various modes of protest, occupation, and liberation, united by a singular strategic purpose but only an incidental sense of political direction. It’s for this reason that the forest has served as a semi-stable nexus for clandestine organization and its concrete defense a centrifugal force in the development of clandestine work on a countrywide scale.
Sprout Distro stuff
As some people have noticed Sprout Distros website appears to be down. An archive of the catalog page from February is available here but if you’re good searching the Internet Archive manually or know exactly what you’re looking for you can look through all their upload categories here.
What id really like to take this chance to do though is to encourage people and groups to create their own public digital zine archives so that theres less reliance on one Big Zine Site that can disappear or be taken down relatively easily. You can use a noblogs or blackblogs page to not just host the pdfs but also set up links and announce new things like Haters Cafe 1312 Press, Ungrateful Hyenas. Or skip the webpage part and just upload to Internet Archive either anonymously (make a throwaway account then delete it) or regularly like Perfect Disorder Press and Fugitive Distribution but just be aware the Archive people don’t claim to be radical aligned and can do shit like put pro Palestinian stuff in the “fringe” section. True Leap Press makes posts featuring specific zines or larger collections, this is another model to consider. Sites dedicated to other things also have zine pages/sidebars like the ones on Scenes or Puget Sounds Anarchists. There are many options and I really encourage people to explore them soon on their own time rather than only after something bad happens and you’re scrambling for alternatives.
UPDATE FROM SPROUT DISTRO:
site is now back online. it was just a temporary issue. 🙁

Video: Conspiracy of Cells of Fire – Phoenix Project – An account of the FAI/IRF Project ‘Phoenix’ (Black International) 2015
English subtitled version of the film giving the account of the early part of the Phoenix Project, international project of sabotage and attack with over a dozen hits in a variety of different countries.
Dedicated to Alfredo Cospito and Nicola Gai, Olga Cell FAI/IRF, who took responsibility for the laming of CEO Roberto Adinolfi of Ansaldo Nucleare.
“We are here, where everything starts now.”
The Project of ‘Phoenix’ is the unfolding of a hidden map marking one of the routes to the Atlantis of practical theory. An unknown and lost continent that exists beyond the edges of the burning cities of the interzone. Created through action, dialogue and ideas and organised informally with anarchic principles of permanent autonomous attack, revolutionary solidarity and internationalism. A sequence of attacks by different radical direct action groups around the world, breaking the silence of isolation and striking back again against the prison societies of the techno-industrial system.
The imprisoned members of CCF are charged with instigation for the attacks, Spyros Mandylas and Andreas Tsavdaridis were arrested and charged for act #4 in the project, sending a parcel-bomb to the former commander of the anti-terrorist agency, Dimitris Xorianopoulos, whilst Christos Rodopoulos is reportedly accused of the mailing of the parcel bomb to Dimitris Mokkas, chief prosecutor in the CCF case, as act #6.
The Phoenix project is now renewed through the 2015 attacks in Chile, Czech Republic and Greece, with the comrades within the territory of Czech Republic initiating the campaign “Let’s destroy repression“. The story of the Phoenix continues to be written…

Switch Off! – The System of Destruction – Call For Revolt! – ZINE
Tortuguita Vigil, January 18th, Lansing
Greece: The first issue of the anarcho-nihilist newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has now been published
In the following link we provide the digital version of the first issue of the newspaper of our project “Blessed Is The Flame“, a project for the diffusion of the theory and praxis of black-flag anarchy* While the newspaper is in Greek, we would like to see it translated in other languages too and be disseminated internationally. If any comrades are interested in this undertaking, contact us at blessedistheflame (at) riseup (dot) net, and we can provide you with an editable .odt version of the file.
PDF: Ευλογημένη Η Φλόγα Τεύχος
In this newspaper we will cover topics like international and local anti-info of the two most recent months, discussions, claims of responsibility, ideas and tips about direct action and anti-surveillance.
Editorial: “The present newspaper is the printed form of the project Blessed Is The Flame, which will be irregularly issued. The purpose of this project is not only to disseminate black-flag anarchy, but more generally to disseminate the radical thoery, praxis and criticism that stems from the act of insurrectionarry armed desire, recognising that the social situation we are in, and which we did not choose, leads our lives to bankruptcy, to the alienation of our Egos.
We do not attempt to persuade anyone, we do not wish to bet on the mass mobilisation of a robotised society. What we are trying to do is contribute in building a communication bridge between those who have chosen to revolt here and now and those who want to revolt. We are what we are because we got courage and inspiration from the rebels who show us what is possible. We do not postpone the insurrectionary and revolutionary action for an indeterminate future because we are liberated from the bonds of hope. We are not nihilists because we are simply pessimists. No, we are nihilists because the situations around us do not allow us to think of future utopias, because we do not wait for freedom to come, but we bring freedom each time we act with defiance and without compromise against society, state, capital, and any other aspect of civilisation. This is the most immediate realisation of anarchy.
Long live direct, anarchist and guerrila action
No resignation, no truce, no peace
For anarchy and nihilism”
*In the terminology used within the Greek radical circles, black anarchy (μαύρη αναρχία) refers collectively to the nihilist, individualist, insurrectionary, anti-social and egoist currents of anarchism.

Black Out – Controversy about meaning and efficiency of sabotage
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.

“If the Cops Kill Me I Want You to Riot”
“If the cops kill me I want you to riot
Burn down their stations and set their cars alight
Know that I went out fighting and wish we all
Could just have peace and be free
…
We cannot have peace until this empire falls. Even then, peace takes work and freedom is a constant struggle. If the cops kill me I want you to riot, to kill as many of them as you can.” – Tort’s diary p. 121
Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police. It was a true warrior who made the forest its home, devoted their life to the struggle, and was willing to die a revolutionary death rather than be captured. We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality.
Rather than retreat into the bounds of comfort and safety, let us allow our memory of Tort to remind us of what it means to truly act in accordance with our values, and to challenge ourselves to follow through. We are rendered harmless only when we allow our fear of the enemy to eclipse our desires to defend the land and reduce this capitalist hellworld to ashes. Remember that the mechanisms of subjugation and control encroach all around us. Wherever you are, you need not venture far to find the veins of industry; go out and sever them.
We need not be concerned with optics and media portrayals. We have no interest in seeking validation, recognition, or understanding from the same media outlets — agents of the society we wish to destroy — that deadname and misgender Tortuguita and relentlessly whitewash its life as one of nonviolence and passivity. Additionally, to contort our actions to render them acceptable to the general public is to inevitably dull them to the point of irrelevance. To work only within the confines of the existent is to disarm ourselves completely. As anarchists, we are able to speak to each other in a language all our own. When we redecorate walls, shatter windows, and set fires, we speak to each other in ways that the media and the general public need not understand; we become beautiful. When we refuse legibility, when we refuse sympathy and demands, we refuse cooptation, we refuse recuperation, and we seek out life.

Nationwide makes the naughty list!
Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas!
This year we’re writing you to let you know that we made our list, checked it twice, and Nationwide Insurance has been fucking naughty! We know when you’ve been bad or good, and we know that Nationwide has been very, very, very bad. Nationwide is the primary insurance for cop city, and the project can only continue if Nationwide continues to provide insurance.
So this holiday season we headed to Texas to deliver some coal to Jonna Hamilton, senior legal counsel for Nationwide. Start your new year off right Nationwide, drop the contract!
– Santa and his elves
P.S. Find a cop city supporter, take action, and next year we’ll all get the best present: victory!
