Anarchists are going to make explosives. In Greece and Russia it is regular, but a lot of the recipes easily available online are either quite dangerous (like TATP) or outdated (like most of the US Army Improvised Munitions Manual). The recipes I have compiled are found with a little bit of digging but are often garbled and not easy to understand due to a lot of tweaking happening on the forums they are posted in. My sources are primarily sciencemadness.org and various YouTube chemistry channels, as well as some rocketry sites and occasionally reddit. (With a little work you will be able to verify all the instructions I have put into this document.)
It is my hope that by the compilation of this guide anarchists who are going to make explosives will at least make safer ones that will not lead to injuries, arrests, or deaths.
Re-Introducing In Contempt: A Monthly Roundup of Repression & the Rebels Fighting Back
Following the closing of It’s Going Down, a new collective will continue publishing monthly “In Contempt” updates on https://incontempt.noblogs.org/. Updates, calls to action, news, statements, actions, corrections, and all else can be submitted to the email:
in_contempt @ autistici . org.
“In Contempt,” as always, will compile what’s happening in the world of repression, those who struggle against it, and other relevant news from a prison abolitionist perspective. If you’re unfamiliar with the project, the archive of the original “In Contempt” on IGD is still up to view.
Keep an eye out for the first roundup launching soon!
SCENES FROM THE ATLANTA FOREST WAS A DECENTRALIZED WEBSITE SERVING AS A VENUE FOR ANONYMOUS COMMUNIQUES, INVITATIONS, ART, AND DISCOURSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRUGGLE TO STOP COP CITY IN SO-CALLED ATLANTA. THE PROJECT BEGAN IN FEBRUARY 2021 AND ENDED IN NOVEMBER 2024. THIS BLOG CAN NOW SERVE AS AN INSURGENT RETELLING OF THE STRUGGLE, ITS PROLIFERATION, AND THAT TIME MORE BROADLY. WITH IT, ONE CAN LOCATE THE INSPIRATION AND POWER, THE GRIEF AND LOSS, THE RUPTURES AND THE RECIPES. THEY ARE RECITED BY THOSE IN STRUGGLE IN THE MIDST OF STRUGGLE.
WHILE THE NOBLOGS CAN STILL BE ACCESSED VIA THE WAYBACK MACHINE, WE WISH TO MAKE THE ARCHIVE MORE ACCESSIBLE. BELOW YOU CAN FIND THE FULL ARCHIVE IN ADDITION TO AN ABRIDGED ARCHIVE THAT CAN SERVE AS AN INDEX, FORMATTED AS A PDF AND IMPOSED FOR PRINTING.
WE HOPE THIS ARCHIVE INSPIRES MORE ACTION, MORE REFLECTION, AND MORE TENSION.
WHILE MANY HAVE LAID THIS STRUGGLE TO REST, IT IS THE BELIEF OF WE, THE ARCHIVISTS AND SOME PEOPLE STILL IN STRUGGLE AGAINST COP CITY, THAT THIS STRUGGLE IS ONGOING. WE TAKE OUR PROMISES AND OUR THREATS SERIOUSLY.
WHAT WAS THE PROMISE WE MADE TO EACH OTHER?
WE PROMISED THAT “IF THEY BUILT IT, WE WOULD BURN IT”
THEREFORE, TO HONOR THIS PROMISE, WE PROVIDE THIS ARCHIVE NOT AS A FIXED HISTORY, A MEMORY, OR A PASSING FAD, BUT AS A WORKING HISTORY, A REMINDER, AND A RECOMMITMENT TO THE STOP COP CITY STRUGGLE.
WE WISH TO HONOR OUR FRIEND CAMI (TORT) AND KEEP IT ALIVE WITH ITS NAME, ITS IMPACT UPON US, OUR FIGHTING, AND OUR FIRE. IT IS NEVER DONE UNTIL THERE ARE NO COPS, NO PRISONS, AND NO EMPIRE!
In early September, the 4th issue of the international anarcho-nihilist/insurrectionary newspaper “Blessed Is The Flame” has been published. As always, along whith the counter-information of July and August, we have also collected texts on counter-surveillance, counter-repression and direct action. The newspaper is available in both digital and printed form. If anyone is interested on printing it themselves, the best way is either to print it as simple A4 with a stapler, or as A3 in booklet format.

Support DFW Anti ICE Protesters On the night of July 4th, local police arrested 10 people outside the ICE Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas. On July 5th, another person was arrested in connection with the case. We don’t know all of the circumstances leading to the arrests. We do know that popular outrage and resistance to deportations is growing across the country. Organizers, activists, and affected communities have spent the year organizing rallies and protests outside of detention centers just like the one in Alvarado. The 11 people arrested currently face serious charges aimed not only at ruining their lives, but signalling an authoritarian criminalization of dissent and protest against ICE. Local authorities have set bail at $10 million per person.
This is a fundraiser to raise at least $50,000 in legal fees and living expenses for all those facing repression connected to the protest at the Prairieland Detention Center. Due to the serious nature of the charges, the majority of money raised will go towards legal fees. Those arrested have jobs, families, and rent that needs to be paid. As they remain incarcerated due to punitively high bail, some funds may be used to cover expenses like child support, rent, or other basic necessities. In the event that we raise funds beyond what defendants need as they go through the legal process, these excess funds will be used to support other Texans facing arrest and prosecution for organizing and protesting.
The DFW Support Committee is a group of loved ones, friends and comrades of the defendants who are committed to supporting them through the legal process and have experience with legal support and anti-repression organizing. We will post regular updates about the case, the use of funds from this fundraiser and the specific support needs of the defendants here. DFW Support Committee can be contacted at dfwsupportcommittee@hacari.com.
Whether or not you’re in a position to help monetarily, please share this fundraiser with your community. We encourage people to donate anonymously.
Apoya a los que protestan contra la migra
El 4 de julio por la noche, la policía arrestó a 10 personas fuera del Centro de Detención de ICE Prairieland en Alvarado, Texas. No sabemos todo lo que pasó para que los arrestaran. Lo que sí sabemos es que la gente está cada vez más indignada y decidida a oponerse a las deportaciones. Este año, se han realizado numerosas marchas y manifestaciones frente a centros de detención como el de Alvarado. Las 11 personas detenidas se enfrentan a graves cargos que buscan arruinarles la vida y reflejan la criminalización de la disidencia y la protesta contra la migra. Las autoridades locales han puesto una fianza de 10 millones de dólares por persona.
Se trata de una recaudación de fondos para reunir al menos 50.000 dólares en honorarios legales y gastos de manutención para todos aquellos que enfrentan la represión relacionada con la protesta en el Centro de Detención de Prairieland. Dado lo graves que son los cargos, la mayoría del dinero recaudado se destinará a los abogados. Las personas detenidas tienen trabajo, familia y gastos. Mientras permanezcan encarcelados por las fianzas punitivamente altas, algunos fondos podrán utilizarse para cubrir gastos de manutención de los hijos, renta y otras necesidades básicas. En el caso de que recaudemos fondos que excedan los que necesitan los acusados a medida que pasan por el proceso legal, estos fondos excedentes se utilizarán para apoyar a otros tejanos que enfrentan arresto y procesamiento por organizarse y protestar.
El Comité de Apoyo de DFW es un grupo de familiares, amigos y compañeros de los acusados, comprometidos a apoyarlos durante el proceso legal y con experiencia en apoyo legal y organización contra la represión. Publicaremos aquí actualizaciones periódicas sobre el caso, el uso de los fondos de esta recaudación y las necesidades específicas de apoyo de los coacusados. Puede contactar al Comité de Apoyo de DFW en dfwsupportcommittee@hacari.com.

We mapped the street-level surveillance of so-called atlanta. Our goal is to make offensive and defensive approaches to surveillance technology more possible and for this work to be replicable.
We prioritized collecting data on ALPRs (Automatic License Plate Readers) and the city’s ‘Shield Program’ cameras. We recorded 872 Flock, 450 Motorola, and 2,316 city-owned cameras across all of fulton county and some parts of dekalb (ideally we would like all of metro atl– gwinnett, cobb, clayton, in addition to the rest of dekalb county– mapped out).
The files are organized by camera type and can be found here:
The .kml files can be imported in Organic Maps, OSM (Open Street Maps), or GIS software. In Organic Maps, they will show up as layers that can be shown/hidden as lists under the bookmarks tab (star icon). The .csv files are spreadsheets of the raw data. Feel free to publish this data on other platforms.
Each camera is identified according to type and labeled with its orientation. We used the term “dingleberry” to specify the PTZ (Point-Tilt-Zoom) cameras affixed to hanging pipe (most often seen at intersections). “Shotgun” refers to directional cameras also often seen at intersections. The “Red Light” camera list contains cameras suspected to be red light cameras, but we actually have no clue what they are (small gray rectangular cameras). While we carefully reviewed all collected data, there may be some redundancies and inaccuracies, so don’t solely rely on this data to plan actions. Do your own scouting first.
We also wrote a guide (below) on how we went about collecting and organizing this data, with the hope that it might be useful to anyone interested in doing this work in their own area.
We desire the complete destruction of the entire panopticon and all of the colonial infrastructure it seeks to safeguard. May this information aid in that project.

After a five year hiatus, Warrior Up is back. The intention of this project remains the same: to compile guides and practical information relevant to struggles against industrial devastation.
The ‘Arson‘ page compiles guides on setting fires. The ‘Sabotage Techniques‘ page compiles sabotage techniques for different types of infrastructure. The ‘Studying Vulnerabilities‘ page compiles analyses of how the megamachine functions and where it is vulnerable. The ‘Maps‘ page compiles mapping projects focused on infrastructure and extractive industries.
This project relies on submissions, so please send us content, including anything published years ago that we may have missed! We now use an Autistici email:
warriorupthrowdown ( at ) autistici ( dot ) org
Our PGP key, however, remains unchanged (Fingerprint 4283 5D10 4ABA 6B2D 0C60 A4F1 F7A9 73A3 8FD8 16E0). It can be found on the contact page, which now also includes a contact form.
