Major Railway Hit Twice in Two Days: Ultra-Anarchists Claim Responsibility

Germany’s railway system recently faced significant disruption due to deliberate acts of sabotage. A post-left ultra-anarchist group known as ‘Kommando Angry Birds’ claimed responsibility for these attacks, which targeted the national network’s track bottleneck two days in a row. Thousands of trains, both international and regional, faced delays, leaving passengers and freight stranded.

The sabotage involved fires set in cabling troughs that rendered the signaling and safety systems inoperative. Deutsche Bahn, the national rail company, reported extensive damage, estimating that repairs would extend over several days. The second fire incident, discovered shortly after the first, prolonged the chaos into the weekend.

These acts of sabotage occurred on the “Ruhr Axis” high-speed line, a critical route connecting Düsseldorf, the international airport, and Duisburg. High-speed intercity lines, including those linking Berlin, Frankfurt, and the Netherlands, experienced widespread disruption. The sabotage’s impact reverberated across the region, crippling essential transport links.

Authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) are treating this as a case of deliberate sabotage. Herbert Reul, the NRW interior minister, stated, “Based on our authorities’ current assessment and understanding of this act of sabotage, it was left-wing extremists who are trying to bomb us back to pre-industrial times.” The police continue to investigate the incidents while the group’s motives remain under scrutiny.

The group expressed their disdain for modern industrial society, stating their desire to “switch off the system of destruction.” They highlighted the Rhine-Alpine Corridor as a significant economic route, essential for European trade and commerce. Disruption of this corridor, they argued, directly impacts the economy by diverting freight and passenger trains.

Indymedia, a notorious bulletin board, hosted the group’s confession, which outlined their anarcho-primitivist ideology. They criticized economic growth, factory production, and resource extraction, arguing that these elements should be dismantled. Their past actions include similar sabotages targeting infrastructure across Europe.

The group ridiculed the radical-left former Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Robert Habeck, for not being ideologically pure enough. Their disdain for the political left stems from what they perceive as a compromise with capitalist technologies. They advocate for the complete abolition of technological advancements.

Their message is clear: they believe that all forms of technology perpetuate the modern industrial society they wish to dismantle. They argue that sustainable solutions like renewable energy or green consumerism are ineffective. Instead, they call for attacks on transportation, communication, and energy infrastructure.

The group also dismisses criticisms of their railway attacks, arguing that rail travel still relies on industrial materials. They insist that railways are part of the technological system they oppose. Power lines, telecommunications cables, and factories are among their other targets.

This recent sabotage is part of a broader wave of similar attacks across Europe, often underreported by mainstream media. Extremists exploit the openness of Western societies to attack critical infrastructure. Breitbart News has documented these incidents, highlighting a pattern of disruption aimed at destabilizing modern life.

In the past, similar attacks have targeted railway systems in Germany and other European countries. These efforts aim not to conquer territories but to create uncertainty and undermine public confidence. The perpetrators possess precise knowledge of the infrastructure they sabotage.

Such sabotages are not limited to Germany. Italy, France, and other countries have experienced similar extremist actions. These attacks frequently coincide with political events or court rulings related to left-wing groups.

The ongoing campaign against technological infrastructure demonstrates a persistent challenge. Extremists continue to pose threats to essential services, creating disruptions that ripple through society. As these incidents unfold, the need for heightened vigilance and security becomes increasingly apparent.
