“To conclude, if it has always been a pleasure to write and elaborate each issue of this bulletin, we must also say that after five years, the desire to put an end to it has arrived. A certain weariness in seeking to ensure this regularity, the sometimes difficult lack of feedback or intertwined debates,
the observation of a redundancy in our ways of approaching the vast questions of action, certainly also the limits of the instrument itself, are all elements that contributed to our decision to conclude this experience of Storm Warnings. Such a decision might seem paradoxical, knowing that
the interest and need we feel for such spaces of reflection and elaboration are still alive, but the instrument we have forged over the years does not lend itself to a new start or a new format. It seemed to us more appropriate to make it disappear, so that other projects could see the light of day.”

“Europe is overflowing with hundreds of billions of dollars for its economic recovery and rearmament plans, quite the opposite of a reduction in its electricity production centers seems to be in the making, with Germany, for example, having just reactivated all of its hundred or so coaland
lignite-based power plants (including the 27 that had previously been suspended in order to meet its carbon emission goals), and also extended the operation of its last three nuclear power plants, which were due to be shut down by the end of 2022. This grandiose combination of 19th century
coal with 20th century nuclear power to feed the devouring requirements of 21st century industry and digital technology is not surprising…”

“Spanning the four corners of the globe, in the midst of a now undeniable acceleration of climate change which industrial civilization seems determined to respond to by intensifying its war on life, piles of toxic legacies bequeathed by our world are accumulating day after day. Their terrible ontological burden has made futile any attempt to dissolve them in the oceans, to bury them in the bowels of the earth, to transform them
into smoke dissipated in the air or to recycle them in order to feed the insatiable beast of industrial production.
Waste is indeed the very heart of the industrial process.”

“That the armed forces intervene in the event of anything other than “natural” disasters is already the order of the day. That they are preparing themselves to deal with these interventions in an expanded capacity (whether we simply think of forced population displacements, wars over resources or explosions of revolt that the consequences of global warming can only exacerbate) is not new either. But the fact that we have now officially moved from a war of the economy to an economy of war is perhaps more so. One of the consequences is certainly to take note of it, by no longer looking with the same placid eye at all those small companies that swarm around us, participating nolens volens in the ongoing militarization. And to let them know what we think, each in our own way.”

“Thanks to the steamroller of industrial civilization and progress, one of the last sensuous worlds populated by terrifying imaginations and enchanted fantasies is disappearing before our eyes: that of the forests. Those which could have been the domain of the lords where the convicted were hung, and the refuge for fleeing persecution. Those which could have been the darkness where one could abandon starving offspring, and the bushy haven from which to launch an assault on the existent. Those which may have been the home of mysteries inhabited by dryads and lycanthropes, and the place were warship builders and other blacksmiths came to plunder them en masse. Those which have seen daring bandits robbing the rich in Sherwood, soot-faced maidens setting fire to and pillages castles in Ariège, revolutionaries continuing to strike their ferocious blows against tsarist tyranny in Courland, but also witnessing in the Alps or in Poland the freezing to death of migrants hunted down by the European border guards.”

“Denouncing the technological control used by the Chinese state or Russia’s current war drive, suggesting that the capillary control in effect on this side and its multiple “anti-terrorist and humanitarian operations” across the planet would be the lesser evil to hope for, does not make much sense. Of course, one cannot reasonably argue that fighting in a territory dominated by an omnipresent and over-equipped State would be equivalent to fighting in a territory controlled by a less developed State. But this does not change that in each of the two cases, one of the deadly traps to be avoided is to participate voluntarily, by our very struggles, to the ongoing readjustment or accommodation of domination (the caricature of which certainly resides in our latitudes in the struggles for more inclusive technologies guaranteed by the State). That’s why we need to focus our attention, trying to hit where it hurts, where the system could less easily bounce back by retreating slightly in order to better regain control later on. In short, it is not simply a question of making ourselves uncontrollable or ungovernable, but of being able to aim directly at its blind spots with an effort of analysis and projectuality.”

“In the course of the wars that have punctuated the last century, and in which companions have been involved, it was also against them that a good number of subversive interventions could be put into practice, according to where they were located. This included the formation of autonomous combat groups (generally decentralized and coordinated), to build networks to help deserters on both sides, to sabotage the military-industrial apparatus behind the fronts, to undermine the mobilization of loyalty and national unity, to exacerbate discontent and defeatism by attempting to transform these wars for the fatherland into insurrections for freedom. We may be told that conditions have changed since those experiments, but certainly not to the extent that we cannot draw on this arsenal if we wish to intervene in hostilities, i.e., starting first with our own ideas and projectualities, rather than the lesser evil of supporting the side and interests of one state against another. For if we are against the peace of the markets, against the peace of authority, against the peace of numbness and servitude, we are obviously also against war. Because peace and war are in reality two terms that cover the same continuity of capitalist exploitation and state domination.”

“The list would be long of all the assertions of power which already contain an answer based on blindly technical or stupidly managerial solutions in order to prolong the agony of the existent, but it is on the latest one that we chose to linger. A few days ago, it was more or less formulated in the following way to the sheep wishing to choose their shepherd, by the one who is already announced as the future leader of this miserable country: “global warming or nuclear power”?

The idea behind this grotesque farce was in fact to launch colossal energy investments, since the President immediately decided in favor of the construction of six new nuclear reactors for 2035, eight others being studied for 2040, an umpteenth extension of the life span of the current power plants, about fifty offshore wind farms by 2050, dozens of solar farms (ah, the Newspeak)… all this for the tidy sum of 70 billion euros per year for the next three decades. Well, let’s say it right away, not only are these not “decarbonized” energy sources regarding global warming, but the main purpose of this state plan is to
officially
increase electricity production by 2050 by 60% compared to its current level. This in fact corresponds to the forced march of domination towards a massive electrification
of the economy, where digitization coupled with artificial intelligence in all sectors are figureheads, just like electric vehicles.

“In the end, on reflection, there is nothing new under the sun. Since the emergence of cities, economic power has basically always walked on the same two feet: energy and extraction. From slavery to nuclear power, economic progress adds up the energy sources that give more and more power to the dominant, and vice versa, because it is the exploitation of energy sources that directly fuels domination. Just as the extraction of oil has released a massive energy force, millions of years old, giving unprecedented dimensions to industrialism and war on a
global scale, the digital and electrified economy depends on the speed of extraction of the metals it needs. This is how the front lines are drawn, where terrible battles are and will be fought.”

“The world accelerates. What resists is being trampled by the great leap forward. If it becomes clearer every day that climate change has become irreversible, the pressure in the boilers of the infernal hull of this Titanic civilization rises, fueled by the illusion that further technical developments can restore the disturbed balances. On the side of the rebels, we are still too slow to face this reality and to draw the consequences of this, however tentative, for our actions and our perspectives of struggle. However, the die is cast and it is from here that we will have to reflect.”
