For Mutual Aid & Solidarity
The windows and lock of a building of Telefónica were destroyed a few weeks ago in Madrid. Against the Covid-passport and digitalization.
A small gesture of solidarity with the companions of Bergamo, hit by repression for their struggle against the Health Pass.

In the night of November 2nd to 3rd 2021, we led a coordinated attack against three cell towers around Saint-Etienne by setting them on fire.
(And not one, as the media tried to make believe!)
This cut off telephone communications and momentarily interrupted the dependency that the techno-world needs to survive.
(We could take as an example the Thales arms factory in the neighboring town or the 80.000 people deprived of telephones for the week but there are many others…)
We did not want to attack only a new aspect of technology (5G), but to assert our hostility against this company as a whole.
Long live the revolt
Long live fire
And long live more waterproof K-ways!

At the dawn of November 11, there were numerous searches in different Italian cities and 6 comrades were notified of judicial surveillance orders: in prison for Alfredo, with house arrests for Michele, with the prohibition to leave the municipality of residence and the obligation to report to the cops three times a week for four other comrades.
The comrades are charged with the crime provided for by article 270 bis (association with the purpose of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order), because of the design, printing and diffusion, also by digital and computer means, of the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo, as well as for tags on walls with contents considered as outrage and incitement, in addition to a case of damage of a property belonging to others. In addition, they are charged under art. 414 (provocation to crimes and misdemeanors), for the drafting and dissemination of communiqués with content inciting the commission of crimes against the personality of the State, with the aim of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order.
In addition to this, two counter-information websites are closed: roundrobin.info and malacoda.noblogs.org [by the way the state censorship did not work: both sites are still accessible; NdAtt.], because considered an aggravating circumstance of the crime of provocation to crimes and misdemeanors (through a digital instrument).
The investigation begins in 2017, in Milan, at the beginning of the experience of the newspaper, and then it is transferred in the hands of the Prosecutor’s Office of Perugia, until today; it reviews the content of the anarchist propaganda articles, which are declared as dangerous for their communicative effectiveness and because of the diffusion of the radical idea.
This is not an attack on the freedom of press and thought. The State is doing its job of controlling and managing the internal enemy, in order to maintain its authority, and publications that resolutely affirm contents of a certain type, undermining its interests, are clearly targeted, as has always happened throughout history. In the current democratic and technocratic regime, characterized by an authoritarian turn, what is “allowed” is confined within the limits of maintaining economic profits and capitalist production and consumption. As is evident in the street demonstrations that these days express their opposition to political-sanitary impositions, the limit of what is licit is defined by the institutions and the limit of the freedom to protest is increasingly reduced. Those who publicly assume to publish a newspaper like Vetriolo, giving support and space of expression to the anarchist and revolutionary prisoners, are aware that the repression will be set in motion, with investigations accompanied by sensational headlines in the media. But this is not the reason why we will complain about the lack of democratic freedoms of expression and press, which in fact have never existed, let alone today.

At 4am in the morning of 11/11/2021, the ROS [Carabinieri Special Operations] raided the homes of dozens of comrades all over Italy on orders of the PM Comodi in an investigation set off by the usual Nobili and Basilone.
Alfredo, in prison for having shot at Adinolfi, CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, and for ”operation Scripta Manent”, was notified of yet another pre-trial detention; another comrade is under house arrest, four more were subjected to an obligation to remain in their own area with regular signing.
The main accusation is of having constituted and promoted an association with aims of terrorism, an accusation in particular revolving around the paper “Vetriolo” and some articles published in it.
Linked to this operation, the editors of Roundrobin were notified the same evening that they are under investigation: the accusations (threats, incitement to commit crimes, association with terrorist aims) are linked to the publication of some writings which in the cops’ opinion are signed by some of the comrades under investigation.
As Roundrobin we have always wanted to give space to all anarchist ideas and debate and are proud to have published the writings of the comrades under indictment.
Despite the difficulties due to which the site has been on hold for almost a month, we will now recommence giving space to the contributions that reach us, no matter what the shit servants of power think.
Solidarity to the comrades raided and under investigation.
Always with head held high.
Long live anarchy!

DNA cooking up and hostage stories (or about another one of my prosecutions)
Let’s say we have a case file that eloquently includes:
– The Laboratory Expertise Report of the Department of Biological Material Analysis of 4-2-2009 on a number of seized items-evidence, after searching my home.
– The 23-10-2012 Laboratory Expertise Report of the Department of Biological Material Analysis for a series of seized items-evidence, following a search (again) at my home.
Everything is going well, the laboratory tests are inconclusive and the years go by. Until, on 15-5-2021 something (?) happens.
Then as soon as our (well known) Department of Biological Materials Analysis decides to complete our (well-known) Laboratory Expertise Report on seized Objects, after searching (yes, yes, you guessed correctly) my house, on 15-10-2020,
makes an impressive leap in time, going back 14 years. And then just discovers that my dna identifies with what was found on an object, (on 3-7-2007) after an incendiary attack on the cars of G. Voulgarakis and his guard. Voulgarakis, who had recently switched from the Ministry of Public Order to the Ministry of Culture.
Surprisingly, this dna match had not been shown by the 2009 expertise, nor that of 2012.
I am summoned on 4 November to appear before the investigating judge, facing charges of attempted serial homicide and explosion, charges that could lead to several years in prison or a prolonged hostage situation until the case is cleared by the courts.
I can only (stoically) see this as another battle in a war I have been fighting for 37 years (since I was a 15 year-old student), a war in which I have always been on the side of those “below”, siding with the good old dream of a world without exploitation and oppression.
And in this war I never gave them a break.

It is a fact that worldwide the system of monitoring and control using biometric data is growing with the creation of data banks for everyone with the cooperation of State, European and international organisations.
At the same time as the majority of society is subjected to the violence of the State and capital, the increasing impoverishment and the rising cost of living, the beating of strikers and students by the repressive forces, the murders by the cops, the killings in the sweatshops of wage slavery , the repatriations and murder of immigrants.
At the same time they are also expanding their legal arsenal and sharpening their attack on anyone and everyone who raises their head and anyone and everyone who attempts to resist modern totalitarianism. The Greek State is seeking to use trumped-up charges to break the morale of those who are struggling. We, the fighters, the comrades, the comrades declare our presence, we do not retreat, we stand on the side of every exploited and oppressed person, on the side of the persecuted and imprisoned comrades. Anyway, in the beginning DNA identification comes for the fighters, then it will be established for all.

On September 22, 2021, the anarchist comrade Francisco Solar was hospitalized inside the La Gonzalina prison in Rancagua after being diagnosed with diabetes and found to be on the verge of a coma. Today the comrade is returned to module 2 of maximum security and since then medical staff/prison guards, through negligent and insufficient treatment have tried to stabilize him.
Immediately, both Francisco and part of the solidarity environment from the outside, we began to make arrangements for the entry of a private doctor, to perform a series of tests, modification of the diet and move towards a treatment as autonomous as possible by Francisco, without depending on the mood swings of the jailers who must provide him with insulin.
As expected, the prison guards have given no response or facilities for the entry of a private doctor or the delivery of the medical record of the comrade.
The call is to generate pressure for the entry of a private doctor and the lifting of any obstacle for proper treatment. Therefore we call on all those who feel the urgency of the comrade’s life and health to mobilize and agitate to unblock this situation of prohibitions and obstacles to the comrade’s care.
Letters, militancy, agitation, visits to embassies and all initiatives that each comrade, group or collective deems pertinent within the mutuality. Everything is useful to succeed in bending the infinite prohibitions in the prison world.
Solidarity, agitation and action for the life and health of comrade Francisco Solar!
Subversive prisoners and anarchists to the street!

On Thursday, October 21, at noon, in the high security module 1 of the company prison in Rancagua, there was a violent attack by the jailers -more than 50- with the aim of raiding all the prisoners -less than 20- who were in the yard at that time, It is in this context that, faced with the arrogance of the prison guards, the comrades who are currently in that module and a no lesser number of social prisoners, face up to the orders coming from the executioners and refuse them in order to safeguard their unshakable dignity. Perhaps it is necessary to explain here that the general way in which the prison guard operates is to seek to break the will of the individual, ordering prisoners to perform degrading actions such as putting their hands behind their backs, facing the wall or doing squats, all forms of submission constantly rejected by the subversive and anarchist comrades in prison, since they understand that performing this type of actions, in addition to the submission and indignity of the moment, is transformed into a vortex of submission in which the only logical culmination is the complete degradation of the individual; there is no manual that accounts for this analysis, it is the own conscience and the ability to learn from the mistakes of each of our comrades that has led them to choose this path. It is also logical that this type of response on the part of our comrades leaves a bitter taste in the jailers that often culminates in violence… This was one of those cases, after the comrades refused to carry out these actions, the jailers took a step forward and verbally and physically confronted them, which resulted in comrades Juan Flores and Joaquín García being punished for 24 hours in isolation cells, under the arbitrary accusation of “active resistance” and affecting their conduct (an important point to apply for rights such as parole or Sunday release), not without first being beaten and pepper sprayed, in addition to receiving Nazi and patriotic bravado in support of the ultra-right-wing Kast as the only president who would allow the killing of subversives in prison.
It is not part of their policy to play the role of victims, in this confrontation our comrades have not been beaten, they have resisted the humiliating orders of the prison guards, but that does not make them either victims or victimizers, they carry out their daily life in prison with pride, they know they are anarchists and subversives, they do not need the approval of anyone, because they live and practice it in their daily lives. The fact that they are the ones who have received the blows does not mean that this will always be their destiny, they have demonstrated it and will continue to do so; it is the dynamics of the conflict itself.

Attack on the General Secretariat of Information Systems (KEPYO) in Moschato on 10 October 2021
The state organizes, equips, and executes.
During the pandemic, while the Mitsotákis government restricted our freedom in every possible way, it not only armed its repressive forces, but also proceeded to strengthen its electronic hegemony.
Under the pretext of providing videoconferencing services to meet the needs of remote learning, the data of 1.6 million users of the WebEX platform has been handed over to Cisco, which can reuse it for its own commercial purposes. Our lives, through telemetry, are constantly being commodified and sold to any interested party. They are categorised and stored indefinitely.
The Greek central administration wants a digital database to fight lawlessness, or rather to achieve complete control.
In December 2020 the secret agreement with the US company Palantir Technologies was revealed, which provides the graphical interface and embodies a terrifying reality of constant surveillance, recording and feedback between the two parties. This CIA-backed, militaristic company with worldwide connections is said to play a major role in the choices of state media. In addition to the digitisation of data, the agreement foresees dealing with situations such as counter-terrorism, immigration and the defence of the country’s territorial entirety in the Aegean Sea, it will be used by the services that exploit and govern the Greek reality.
As if the scandals of the soap opera called government were not enough, the icing on the cake is a practice of targeted repression that we have seen for the umpteenth time lately (see the case of the “Eight of Nea Smyrni”). On Thursday, 4 September 2021, they asked a comrade who had been arrested in the occupied Polytechnic University of Athens on 13 November 2020 to submit to a DNA sample. This story does not end here, but extends to the summoning of 13 other comrades arrested that night. The DNA traces found by the police on two empty bottles inside the occupied building, would have been identified by comparing it to blood traces found on paper, after the riots that took place in Exarchia on 7 December 2014.
As we can easily understand, the purpose of all this is of course profiling and creating science fiction scenarios against the antagonist movement. Most of the people arrested in 2014 were minors (13, 14 years old) and came from the provinces.
Finally, our attack on the General Secretariat of Information Systems is a sign of solidarity with the comrades, but also an additional touch to the systemic war.
PS1 We call for support for the solidarity week for the 14 comrades. (25-31 October)
PS2 We call for a continuous barrage of attacks.
PS3 Stop all persecution of our comrades, the violent repression of demonstrations and evictions of occupied spaces, because next time we will not be satisfied with attacking windows and doors.
