Shading the possibility of sabotage is a strength
Shading the possibility of sabotage is a strengthBastamag - May 06, 2023
With his History of sabotage in two volumes (Free edition), Victor Cachard reinscribes social struggles in their long history and participates in an essential updating of direct action.
Interview.
The pipes are attacked with a grinder, the CGT Énergie cuts the juice to elected officials supporting the pension reform, 5G antennas burn everywhere, 200 activists equipped with crowbars clean up a Lafarge cement plant and megabasins are lacerated with a cutter. So many actions constituting good reasons to approach the history of sabotage with Victor Cachard, author of several recent works on the subject. An interview conducted on the terrace of a Lyon café with the apt name: le Court-circuit.
CQFD: In the processions against the pension reform, the crowd often chants the triptych "Strike, blockage, sabotage". Long put aside, is the practice of sabotage as a tool of struggle regaining momentum?

Yes, and that's good, but the term sabotage is still scary. It took on a warlike connotation with the resistance during World War II. In the collective memory, it is associated with the blasting of railway tracks, or with the idea of a discreet attack, a blow to the back, a little loose...
However, sabotage occupies an important place in the history of struggles and it was massively used by workers from the end of the 19th century. Little is known about it, but at the end of its third congress in 1897, the CGT officially adopted it as a union tactic under the impulse of the anarchists. This mode of action, like the general strike, is the foundation of the trade union struggle!
Émile Pouget, a revolutionary whose anthology you published [1], says that sabotage is as old as the exploitation of workers...
It was practiced long before it was theorized as a tactic of struggle. Historically, the exploited have been able, in isolation, to slow down in the face of unbearable demands, or to voluntarily and discreetly produce bad work. Contrary to popular belief, sabotage does not refer to the wooden shoe (hoof) that would be thrown into the machine. This is the name given in the 13th century to a small wooden top which, when it turns, gives the impression of being motionless. Like the worker who pretends to do a good job. “Bad pay, bad work,” said the English. Sabotage is primarily a defensive attitude, directly linked to work. It was finally under the impetus of the French revolutionary syndicalists that the term gained its offensive character.

Nord Stream - The Incredible Amateurism of the CIA
Nord Stream - The Incredible Amateurism of the CIAUPRTV - March 15, 2023
In this video, François Asselineau draws lessons from the case of the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
0:16 - The first part retraces the history of what must objectively be called an act of war, with disastrous economic consequences, particularly for Germany and France.
18:53 - While the Euro-Atlanticist media carefully denigrated and then suppressed Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh's revelations of direct US involvement in this sabotage, the March 7, 2023 edition of The New York Times published a any new version which this time attributes the responsibility for this sabotage, no longer to Russia, but to pro-Ukrainian fishermen.
In the second part of this video, François Asselineau demonstrates the implausibility of this new narrative and castigates the pusillanimity of the French executive who has not issued any protest against the United States while France is affected at the heart of its economy. . On the contrary, Macron once again folded in front of Biden.
François Asselineau denounces what is perhaps even more serious: all the so-called oppositions which, from the RN to the NUPES and the PCF, have not protested either against this act of war aimed at permanently weakening France. and to rule out any peaceful solution in Ukraine.

Seymour Hersh: Nord Stream was destroyed by the USA and Norway
Seymour Hersh: Nord Stream was destroyed by the USA and NorwayVoltairenet - Feb 10, 2023
The American journalist Seymour Hersh, already at the origin of the information on the Mỹ Lai massacre in Vietnam or on the acts of torture in Abu Ghraib or even on the fake sarin gas attack in Syria, has just revealed how the Nord Stream gas pipelines were sabotaged.
US Navy divers planted explosives under the Nord Stream gas pipelines last summer (during NATO's "Operation Baltops 22", June 5-17, 2022), which the Norwegians activated three months later. later, on September 26, by dropping a buoy from an airplane which caused them to explode.
The operation was led by Jacob Sullivan (National Security Advisor), Antony Blinken (Secretary of State) and Victoria Nuland (Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs). These three personalities are part of the very restricted circle of disciples of the philosopher Leo Strauss. Its planning began in December 2021, that is to say two months before the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in application of Security Council resolution 2202 (presented as an “invasion” by NATO propaganda) .

kyiv claims responsibility for the explosion on the Crimean Bridge
kyiv claims responsibility for the explosion on the Crimean BridgeThe mail from the strategists - 08 oct 2022
At the end of the morning this Saturday, October 8, several voices in the Ukrainian government apparatus claimed responsibility for kyiv in the damage to the Crimean bridge.
If we look coldly at the event, we will make a double observation: by having recourse to terrorism, kyiv shows the limits of its power; but, like any terrorist act, the objective is to provoke a disproportionate reaction from the adversary.
Several sources within the Ukrainian state apparatus have claimed responsibility for the action, even in the entourage of President Zelenski.
A terrorist act always aims to be spectacular. But it also signs the attack capacity of those who commit the attack. By openly claiming responsibility for the attempt to destroy the bridge, the Ukrainian government reveals, however, that it is in a weak position. Terrorism is the weapon of the weak.

Germany and the EU received a declaration of war
Germany and the EU received a declaration of warInternational Network - 29 Sep 2022
The sabotage of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea has ominously taken 'disaster capitalism' to a whole new toxic level.
This episode of hybrid industrial/trade warfare, in the form of a terrorist attack on energy infrastructure in international waters, signals the absolute collapse of international law, embedded in an "our way or the highway" order "based on rules ".
The attack on the two pipelines involved detonating multiple explosive charges in separate branches near the Danish island of Bornholm, but in international waters.
It was a sophisticated operation, conducted stealthily in the shallow Danish straits. This excludes a priori submarines (vessels entering the Baltic are limited to a draft of 15 meters). As for any “invisible” ships, they could only wander about with permission from Copenhagen – the waters around Borholm being full of sensors, which reflects the fear of an incursion by Russian submarines.
