Flyposter: ‘Against Surveillance State UK – Against Facial Recognition CCTV’ (PDF)

Posted on 2026/07/06 - 2026/07/06 by darknights

As requested, here is the ‘Against Surveillance State UK‘ CCTV article from Dark Nights #47 (2018) as an A4 PDF to be enlarged to A3 and flyposted as a spread, or printed out on to double-sided A4 and handed out. Attack the world of machines and the technological system. “Hit where it hurts”.

PDF: A4 – Against Facial Recognition CCTV

Against Surveillance State UK – Against Facial Recognition CCTV

Britain is an authoritarian surveillance State, which has pioneered how many modern societies look; entirely covered by security cameras at almost every urban point, place, square, road, corner, shop, bus, train, etc. Partially perpetually in a state of decay and disrepair, here they have built a life almost as in a vast prison, and it is what their world looks like. Prison society; endless drab shopping centres, housing estates, tower blocks, industrial and recreational areas capable of being on lock-down at short notice. Regularly practised large-scale multi-agency counter-terror response drills to terrorist attacks, inner-city riots. Mind-control media beams out lies, half-truths, distractions, impossible consumer desires, morning, noon and night. Every potentially disruptive mass event, social and environmental crisis, is hyped by the media as threatening such an abrupt end to normality that at least all the police’s resources will be stretched so thin that the military will have to be involved to restore order under martial law. Austerity, flooding, Brexit, immigration, Islamism. Reactionary, racist, nationalist discourses and ideologies are everywhere; religious and far-right neo-nazi groups are regrouping. Anarchist and eco-action is called “extremism” or “terrorism”, in the double-speak of the police-state. There will never be any chance of individual, social and environmental change without the recreation of daily life into an existence that reflects our desires, passions and joys, rather than a cog in their system of fear. Likewise there is zero possibility of any social change without an insurrection, a social war. Continue reading “Flyposter: ‘Against Surveillance State UK – Against Facial Recognition CCTV’ (PDF)” →

On Monday, June 29, the “squat Lotta occupato” in Graz was evicted. The eviction was carried out by workers from a construction company, assisted by the police. The owner of the buildings and the land also arrived and behaved in a very arrogant and aggressive manner. Read more:

Statement by Benjamin “Champagne” Song (U$A)

Posted on 2026/06/25 - 2026/06/25 by darknights

Benjamin “Champagne” Song was sentenced to 100 years in the Texas Prairieland ‘Antifa’ Frame-Up, solidarity to the defendants and all those who resist, tear all borders and prisons to the ground:

I don’t hate. I don’t hate anyone. I don’t hate cops. I don’t hate Trump. I don’t hate Nazis. My beliefs are composed thus:

First, that we should help each other.

And second, that we should protect one another.

I never want to see anyone get hurt. I never want to see good people, standing up for what they believe in, gunned down in the street. What we all saw happen to Renee Good and Alex Pretti is my worst nightmare.

It was the kind of thing I had feared for a long time, after dealing with officers who could be reckless, who could be bullies, who could be violent. But fear is not hate. Sadness is not hate. Wanting people to live is not hate.

So, when I was standing in the street on July 4th, 2025, in plain view with reflective safety strips and high visibility clothing, what I saw right in front of my eyes was my worst nightmare. Continue reading “Statement by Benjamin “Champagne” Song (U$A)” →

Italy: “So, without playing the victim, I bid you farewell. And if I feel like crying when I hug you, it won’t be because I think I’ve suffered an injustice or been wronged, but because I’ll miss you.” Letter from Sara Ardizzone to her colleagues, January 2018

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

While sifting through the archives of a life of struggles, we came across this deeply touching letter that Sara wrote to her coworkers in January 2018. The letter was written in the wake of a dismissal for disciplinary reasons—an act of insubordination in defence of her dignity, which she asserted with her head held high. At the time, the text had also been forwarded to some of her closest comrades.

It is striking, after all these years, to (re)discover that there are no differences—neither in style nor, above all, in terms of pride, tenacity, and the absolute primacy of ethics—between this and other more recent and “political” documents, such as, to name just one example, the statement Sara delivered in the Perugia courthouse on January 15, 2025, during the preliminary hearing of the Sibilla trial. This demonstrates—if proof were ever needed—that Sara was the same person in the presence of everyone: in the presence of colleagues, comrades, and inquisitors alike. And she has remained so over the years. Far from being a solitary figure leading a double life, as some journalists have written— always ready to play the tune that best suits those in power.

Her anarchism never required further clarification or adjectives. Her’s was a personality marked by proud, indomitable individualism; one that zealously guarded her individual freedom, insisting at every opportunity on thinking solely for herself, without taking orders from anyone or giving them to anyone. At the same time, and without any contradiction—indeed, with the utmost naturalness—her universal interpretation of social events was always marked by an unyielding class consciousness, consistent with anarchist principles. This “propaganda by deed” left a lasting impression on the countless people who were fortunate enough to know her. Continue reading “Italy: “So, without playing the victim, I bid you farewell.

Limoges, France: ‘War is not an accident’ Fire at a transformer and a radio repeater in protest against the military-industrial complex and digital coercion

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

7th May

Early Thursday morning, May 7, a relay antenna belonging to the operator Bouygues and a TDF transformer for digital radio broadcasting BFM caught fire south of Limoges, at a place known as “La Croix de l’Arbre.”

This media and telecommunications infrastructure was targeted because it is integral to the military industry and the imposition of digital technology throughout our lives.

For Bouygues, ongoing wars are just another source of profit. Through one of its subsidiaries, INEO Defense, it provides the French army’s communications infrastructure. As for BFM and RMC, their networks help turn us into spectators of the massacres in Palestine, Lebanon, and elsewhere.

War begins with social pacification and our acceptance of the hegemonic narrative disseminated by the media. We won’t dwell on BFM, which is well known for being one of the reactionary mouthpieces for industrial interests. Their narratives also accustom us to our powerlessness and define for us the enemy to be fought, whether internal or external. The war effort we reject is the one that seeks to make us accept social austerity as inevitable.

Yet the plundering and militarization of the world continue to face resistance. As demonstrated by the millions of people who took to the streets in support of Palestine and by all the acts of solidarity. Digital technology is being targeted as one of the pillars in the development of AI-driven remote control in military operations, as Israel is using it on a massive scale against the Palestinian people.

Furthermore, military exercises will be taking place in the region in the coming days. Let us not forget that when the military deploys, it is never merely an exercise but always an operation of psychological warfare designed to acclimate people to their presence and make them accept a state of permanent war.

Let us not remain indifferent.

Hamburg, Germany: Against the police and the world that needs them!

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

On the night of May 17–18, we smashed the windows with hammers at the “Police IT Cooperation” office at Notke Straße 13–15 in Hamburg.

The “Police IT Cooperation” is an alliance of five state police forces that jointly develop software for day-to-day police work and provide interfaces to national and European databases.
Other state police forces, the Federal Police, and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) also use the software.
This involves the digital, AI-supported expansion of the police control and surveillance system to enforce the prevailing order, which results, among other things, in deportations, forced evictions, and repression being carried out violently.

Conspire for a world where everything is different and everything is possible!
Against the police and their violence!
Love and strength to those in the underground and in prison!

Greece: Update on the transfers of the comrades charged in connection with the bank expropriation in Kato Tithorea

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

Update on the transfers of the comrades charged in connection with the bank expropriation in Kato Tithorea

Following the interrogation on Friday, May 15, before the investigating judge and the subsequent decision to order pretrial detention for six suspects, the comrade subject to this measure was taken to the Western Attica Criminal Investigation Department in Ano Liosia, while the other five suspects were transferred to GADA. On Monday, May 18, the comrade was transferred to the Korydallos women’s prison; the following day, Tuesday, May 19, one of the five comrades was transferred to the Korydallos men’s prison. Three days later, on May 22, three more comrades were transferred to the prisons in Trikala, Larissa, and Malandrino, respectively. This morning, May 26, the last comrade was transferred to the prison in Nafplio, after more than two weeks of detention at GADA.

The vindictive—yet predictable—scattering of our comrades across prisons throughout Greece, with the intent of limiting their communication and psychologically breaking them, comes as no surprise to us; after all, we are well acquainted with the mechanisms of the State and its collaborators.

“We do not fight for the liberation of political prisoners out of charity or humanitarianism. Through the struggle for their liberation, we reclaim the hidden history and the experience of the struggle. But above all, we reclaim the concept of the political legitimacy of counter-violence.” (Action Directe Prisoners’ Collective)

Fort Worth, Texas, U$A: Eight Federal Prairieland Defendants Sentenced Today to Prison Terms Ranging From 30-100 Years for Common Protest Activity

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/25 by darknights

FORT WORTH, TX – Eight Prairieland defendants were sentenced in federal court today, three months after their convictions on a variety of federal charges, including riot, material support for terrorists, attempted murder, possession and conspiracy to use explosives, and conspiracy to conceal documents. Family members and supporters, who sat stunned as US District Judges Mark Pittman and Reed O’Connor delivered sentences ranging from 40-100 years in prison, called the punishment cruel, callous and starkly disproportionate to the defendants’ actions. In a rally and press conference held after the sentencing, supporters expressed defiance and vowed to continue fighting for the Prairieland defendants’ freedom.

The eight Prairieland defendants sentenced today are Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, Maricela Rueda, Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, Benjamin Hanil Song, and Elizabeth Soto. All defendants, with the exception of Sanchez Estrada were convicted of rioting, providing material support to terrorists, conspiracy to use an explosive, and use of an explosive device, which referred to the consumer grade fireworks used on July 4. Sanchez Estrada was convicted of concealing a document—political literature—and, along with Rueda, conspiracy to conceal documents. Song was additionally convicted of attempted murder of an officer and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime.

Uruguay: Claim of responsibility for an incendiary attack on a mobile phone antenna

Posted on 2026/06/19 - 2026/06/19 by darknights

The Luddite fire once again lit up the night of public complacency and the monotony of our lives as consumers. On the night of the 29th, in the early hours of 30 May, we set fire to a mobile phone antenna and all its shitty radio-magnetic gadgets. This took place on the coast of Canelones, territory controlled by the murderous and repressive Uruguayan state. In memory of our comrade Punky Mauri, who fell 17 years ago, and of all the fighters murdered and imprisoned by capital.

In these times of techno-fascism and online activism, we remember that the material foundations of this system—which controls life through technology and algorithms—can be reduced to ashes. Greetings to the savages!!!!!!!!!!!

Ned and friends.

Silence!!!…the antennas are burning.
