Silver barrels of "Alkydal F 22 tix" with a ratio of 60% Xylol (according to the label). It was produced in Germany by the German multinational and pharmaceutical company, Bayer. Alkyd resins are used in the formulation of wood and furniture coatings, parquet and floor coatings, exterior wood coatings, DIY and painter coatings as well as industrial coatings. We couldn’t find more information around the sources, and whether they were related to the Italian toxic waste trade brought to Lebanon through a deal between the Italian mafia and Lebanese Forces. The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

A barrel of what appears to be like polyester resin, produced in Italy by SIRIC, a company whose main activity was the production of unsaturated polyester resins, about 12,000 tons per year, used for fiberglass boats, fiberglass products and artificial marble. The factory has been closed since the 1980s, but investigations and reclamation continued due to the spilling of dangerous materials into the ground and the subsequent discovery of underground deposit of poisonous waste on February 14, 1992. This barrel ended up on Lebanese territories due the toxic waste deal between the Italian Mafia and the Lebanese Forces. This image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

خلال نيسان ٢٠٢٦، قامت شركة آبل بمحو معظم البلدات والقرى في لبنان من تطبيق “مابس”، ولم تترك سوى أسماء المدن الكبرى. سبق أن استخدمت كل من جوجل وآبل استراتيجية المحو ذاتها في غزة. هذا ليس خللًا تقنيًا. إنه تواطؤ صهيوني مبيد، وشكل من أشكال أتمتة نظم الإبادة الجماعية
عندما نشرنا على شبكات التواصل الإجتماعي عن عملية المحو الهائلة التي قامت بها شركة آبل، والتي تحتاج إلى مقاضاة قانونية وإصلاح، أرسل إلينا العديد من المستخدمين من مختلف أنحاء الأرض تسجيلات فيديو للشاشة كدليل على هذا المحو الشامل.
Apple has erased most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from ‘Maps’, keeping only the name of big cities. The same genocidal strategy of erasure has been already used by Google and Apple in Gaza. This isn’t a glitch. It’s Zionist complicity, and part of the genocidal propaganda machine, as well as, the automation of genocide.
When we published online about Apple's massive act of erasure, which must be prosecuted, several users from across the globe sent us screen recordings as evidence of this ubiquitous erasure.

Image taken by Dr. Pierre Malychef documenting the 1989 Dora Port Explosion and its aftermaths on March 30th 1989. A destitute hangar with a pressure-torn roof post-explosion. We see 5 frontal sacks with the same “Ammonium Sulfate, BASF, made in Germany” mark as in another image with a close up portrait view of one of the sacks, dfound in the same album. Similarly to Hangar 12, the hangar is filled with white sacks, akin to the ammonium nitrate sacks we all became familiar with in the last 3 years.

ميكس غير منمق ومضمونه غير موسيقي، يحاول استنباط لحظات في عتمة داكنة تلاشت فيها الأشكال وتلاحم معها جسدي وعبرنا الى عالم يقظ اسفله لا يرى إلا باليدين واعمدته تتكلّم فقط لكي تحتبس. للعالم إيقاع خاص متقطع ذو نقرات بليدة أحياناً ومتشنجة أحياناً أخرى. للترحال فيه يجب تلفيق رقصة زاحفة خاصة يقودها العامود الفقري وانقباضات في المعدة.

According to the label, the content of this barrel is related to polyurethanes, produced by the British chemical company, Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). The barrel may be related to the toxic waste deal between the Italian mafia and the Lebanese Forces through its Italian division, Atlas Europol s.p.A. From 1982 till 1987, the chairman of the company was Sir John Harvey-Jones, a British naval commander during World War II and a naval intelligence specialist post-World War II, whose approach to the chemical business was focused on speed, more power into fewer hands, and high profit.
The previous picture (probably of the back label) indicates that this barrel contains diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), a light yellow-colored solid. It is not soluble in water. It may be toxic by ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption; acute (short-term) inhalation of high concentrations of MDI may cause sensitization and asthma in humans. If in a solution it may or may not burn depending on the nature of the material and/or the solvent. It is used to produce polyurethane foams.
The barrel is rusted and has seashells growing on it, signs that it was submerged in seawater for a certain period of time.
The image was taken by Pierre Malychef in the late 1980s.

Toxic Waste
Two cans of paint and coating, produced by the Italian chemical company, Industrie Vernici Italiane ("Italian Paint Industry") stylized as I.V.I, that specialized in the production of paints. Starting 1983, I.V.I, then-majoritarily owned by Fiat, was gradually sold to the American multinational company, PPG Industries Inc. The selling of the entire shares was effectuated in 1992. Following a lawsuit filed by American environmental organizations, Penn Environment and Sierra Club, in 2012, PPG Industries, Inc. was found liable in 2018 for decades of pollutants discharge in the Allegheny River.

These cans ended up on Lebanese territories due the toxic waste deal between the Italian Mafia and the Lebanese Forces. The author of this image is unspecified.

Subordinate militia men managing an illegal quarry whose environmental impacts Pierre Malychef has been investigating and publishing against, planted a bomb in the mid-1980s in his first pharmacy in Jal el Dib. The bomb was luckily detonated in Maychef's absence. This image shows Malychef standing in front of the collateral damage.
