Eco-terrorists may be planning another power outage
The Vulkan group, which recently caused a power outage lasting several days in Berlin, may be planning further actions. What's more, the eco-terrorists are considering new methods to conceal their activities.
Just two weeks after the eco-terrorist group Vulkan caused a massive power outage in Berlin that lasted several days and affected thousands of residents, and just one week after it was revealed that far-left activist Guido Arnold and his collective, Capulcu, were the masterminds behind the terrorists, the group has made itself heard again. On the far-left Indymedia platform, the group is discussing which operating system eco-terrorists should ideally use on their computers and mobile phones.
As is well known, in early January, tens of thousands of homes in Berlin were left without power for days after a power line was damaged. The action was claimed by the eco-terrorist group Vulkan, which was led by Guido Arnold.
Now, after Arnold and his collective have compared various open source programs, they have finally come to the conclusion that „we, as a movement, lose more than we gain by using cell phones,” writes the Nius news portal.
The group is considering a complete withdrawal from digital communication:
„The question we ask ourselves is whether we want smartphones at all, and if so, what consequences this device has for our lives and our organization, or whether we should rather invest our resources in building strong analog structures (e.g., regular meeting places, agreed locations for spontaneous events, etc.).”
Capulcu and Arnold criticize the use of digital devices, saying they pose a security risk and are a „target” for the „oppressive apparatus.”

To make analog communication more appealing to their followers, the group introduces another power outage scenario:
„When parts of Spain experienced prolonged power outages in April this year, it opened up the possibility of carrying out actions in critical locations, such as city centers, without camera surveillance.”
In other words, according to Arnold and Capulcu, power outages provide opportunities for illegal activities such as theft or further attacks.
