Greece: Message of Dimitris Chatzivasileiadis for the trial of comrade Daniela Klette (25/3/2025)

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

The whole game of the German state on the comrades Daniela Klette, Ernst Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg is an operation of psychological warfare, what they call in their terminology psy ops. In addition to the always fruitless attempt of the counter-insurgency to isolate revolutionary struggle, in this hunt it wants to torture the living history, to bury it under the concrete, in order to spread the idea that all resistance is eventually exterminated, to instill terror in the new revolutionary generations. The act of evading from the counter-insurgency’s dragnet is an important resistance: It removes from the state the opportunity to hold the ritual of the “final act”. For this reason, its vengeance against defiant history, now manifested on the body and person of comrade Daniela, is rampant.

The fugitives prove that the passage to free life cannot be blocked. Despite the capitulation of the revolutionary organization, the three comrades have lived for decades in the struggle for the self-organization of proletarian life against the chains of class discipline and bourgeois civilization that kills for money. Now it is in the hands of all of us to pass on the history of the comrades to the current resistances. The hearts that refuse to live enslaved do not leave the final act to any master. And because every “final” word of the state, political, judicial, economic, scientific, determines the crushing of the common body, we will do everything to end Daniela Klette’s captivity.

The most important political legacy of the German revolutionary movement is the strategic and organic internationalism. Burkhard to this day is not hiding, he is singing for the bloodied body of Palestine, of Kurdistan, of the poly-ethnic proletariat and the Earth. The familiar old Europe of colonial war, nationalism and imperialism wants to put Daniela on trial. Let the vampires understand that our people are not for their teeth.

Athens, Greece: Beneath the concrete, something is burning. Statement regarding the occupation of a building and creation of Rasprava Squat

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/20 by darknights

Following the end of the event “Revolutionary memory and perspective of the struggle” in Mesologgiou street, a crowd of comrades descended to Kolettis and Themistokleous streets to defend the liberation of the building.
The following is the self-introductory communique of the occupation:

The silence of the metropolis weighs like a stone on our shoulders. The streets are filled with worn-out stares, bodies crawling out of habit, out of fear, out of submission. The world moves along predetermined paths, without a second thought, tempering its dreams. Everything is programmed to work exactly as they want: work, consumption, obedience. Yet, always, beneath the surface, something is boiling.
History is not written by the obedient. A few choose to bear the burden of disobedience. To crack the concrete of normality. To confront the invisible hand of power that chokes every aspect of our lives. Refusing to submit is not a mere stance. It is a call to question, to overturn, to take back everything that belongs to us.
We are comrades, anarchists who derive from different political and ideological backgrounds, but we have found ourselves in the very same fires of struggle. It is there, where our common struggles and collective experiences united us, that we recognized the vital need for the creation of a space for meeting, political maturation¹, exchange of views and organizational empowerment.
At a time when isolation is imposed and communities of struggle are being dismantled by repression, the formation of such spaces is not only necessary – it is crucial.
The repressive blows of recent years have not come by accident. The authorities are attempting to eliminate any focus of resistance, to crush any form of self-organisation and to extinguish the flame of contestation.
Great achievements have been lost, the movement has been put on the defensive, the recession is now on the horizon. But we know that history is written by those who do not fall back, by those who are not afraid to confront reality.
To remain on the defensive is to accept defeat. And that is not going to happen.
The time is now to turn words into action, to move from defense to attack.
So let’s make it clear that the enemy will not get rid of us so easily.
We must define our own field of struggle, reclaim our space and time.
To liberate territories from domination, to create a vibrant centre of resistance, a radical cell for mobilisation² both in theory and action.
We perceive the occupation as an integral part of the movement and the movement as an organic element of the occupation.
The existence of territories of struggle is not just a practical question, but a deeply political one.
Squats are not just places to hang out, they are not just places of hospitality.
They are strongholds of resistance, laboratories of radical practices, cracks in the normality they try to impose on us.
And this is a non-negotiable reality.
Every neighbourhood, every street, every square is not a neutral ground. It is a vibrant map of oppositions, conflicts and claims. Cities are built on the basis of discipline, policing and the sterilization of public space. Squares are filled with surveillance cameras, walls are painted grey, buildings become inaccessible bastions for those who cannot afford to pay the price of existence in a world where everything has a tag price.
Dominance is implementing a strategic plan of universal control of the metropolises, crushing any source of resistance.
Armed with black propaganda and ideological warfare, it attempts to shape consciousness, while the deliberate degradation of neighbourhoods through the spread of organised crime and the violent expulsion of the local population is paving the way for its complete absorption by capital.

Italy: Anarchist Prisoner Ghespe Hospitalized

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

On the night of 14 to 15 February, an arrest put an end, after about two years, to the fugitive status of Salvatore “Ghespe” Vespertino. The beatings and threats he suffered in detention led him to make an extreme gesture: in order to leave the section of the Soto del Real prison in Madrid, he cut the veins on his arms and was transferred to the psychiatric hospital where he was again subjected to ill-treatment. The rule is that anyone who endangers his or her own life is subject to hospitalization and medication under duress. Ghespe specifies that his act was not carried out with a suicidal intention.

After his release from hospital, he was extradited to Italy on March 4 and locked up in Rebibbia prison in Rome. On 20 March, he was transferred to Spoleto prison and placed provisionally in the infirmary section. Following a dispute with a guard, he was subjected to another hospitalization under constraint in psychiatry. Ghespe is in a cell alone and is waiting for permission to be able to visit with his partner. His comrades invite all those in solidarity to send him letters and books (in Italian and Castilian): Salvatore Vespertino / Casa di Reclusione Spoleto / Località Maiano, 10 / 06049 – Spoleto (PG) / Italy.

New York, U$A: Direct Action Against Magellan Aerospace

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

April 15, 2025

Last night, some people in NYC took direct action against Magellan Aerospace, a company which makes parts for Lockheed Martin F-35 jets and other death machines used by the American and Zionist regimes. Someone went inside the fence at the back of the building and slashed the tires of trucks at the loading area. Actionists also redecorated the building with paint. Free Palestine.

New York, U$A: NYPD Vehicles Attacked on 4/15 in Revenge Action

Posted on 2025/04/19 - 2025/04/19 by darknights

On Tuesday night we punctured the tires on 8 NYPD cars and sprayed “PIG” all over them at the 88th precinct right under their stupid noses. When the pigs are too complacent then collectively we are doing something wrong.

The 88th precinct is known for its tyrannical rule over both local community and new migrant neighbors. It famously collaborated with ICE during the 2020 George Floyd uprising by using ICE to guard their precinct building besieged by massive protests.

Five years later and where are we now? Every day another human being murdered in custody, through neglect or savage beatings. Robert Brooks and Messiah Nantwi. Five people have died at Rikers just this year. Two died in nyc holding cells just in the past month before even being arraigned.

Every day another neighbor disappeared in to some far off prison, never to be seen again (look up CECOT). Every day another student kidnapped by ICE. Every day another community invaded by fascists demanding papers and hunting Black and Brown people for sport.

Every day another family incinerated by USA-made bombs in Palestine and Yemen.

When will it stop? We must come to a point where we realize that NOTHING WILL STOP unless we MAKE IT STOP. No amount of appealing to politicians, to cops, to institutions like Columbia, will help us. Let go of that, and we free ourselves.

The Empire must fall. Strike where you are, at whatever institution you can that upholds this whole stinking pile of dogshit. Every strike against the NYPD is a strike for communities here and all over the world. May the strength of revolutionaries who have lived and died for liberation be with you.

Athens, Greece: ‘Provocateur Faction’ takes responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house and police guard of the Supreme Court President Ioanna Klapa

Posted on 2025/04/12 - 2025/04/12 by darknights

“Injustice is not anonymous, it has a name and an address”

Bertolt Brecht

In the early morning hours of June 27th [2024] we attacked the house and the police guard of the President of the Supreme Court, Ioanna Klapa, in the Papagos area. That summer evening found the cop who happened to be on duty instead of carelessly gazing at Instagram photos or playing slots (in earlier watches this seemed to be how those on duty spent their time) screaming from the Molotov cocktails that burned him and then being rushed to the emergency room by his colleagues, badly injured. And Klapa, instead of sleeping, fearfully putting out the fire in the entrance and garden of her house.

But why did we choose to attack Klapa while her house was being guarded?

First of all, it was an operational choice with three political considerations. It was not a matter of mere desire or convenience but of collective recognition of the need to attack, yes, using the element of surprise, but on a guarded target. In a field where, in theory, immediate engagement reflexes have been designed and provided for by the police guard to protect the high profile person. In this area there is not room for much analysis. Their preparedness and the proud spirit of the Greek police corps went out the window. Although their operational planning was disgraced, we, to tell the truth, acknowledge that we did not achieve anything particularly great. Life the next day went on as usual, a world of squalor and rot remained the same and the violence of apathy, misery and deadlock still lingers. We had no illusions that we would achieve the most decisive blow to the mechanisms of bourgeois justice and the police. To be a substantially dangerous pole in the social war, however, you have to sharpen the violent responses quantitatively and qualitatively. This is a finding that is eloquently described even by renowned academics and in particular by the jurist Manoledakis: “The overthrow of a political power, and especially today when the state has a perfected huge mechanism for eliminating its opponents, cannot be done on paper or with wishful thinking. In order for the ‘political criminal’ to reach his goal, he must willingly or unwillingly violate a multitude of legal value so that his crime always appears complex. The state is a legal value entangled with other legal values (human lives, personal freedoms, facilities, services, etc.). To reach it you have to go through these values”. So we recognized the importance of such an action and achieved a goal that was both realistic and decisive. To wound their confidence and arrogance, to wound the security they feel in the quiet of their homes and their service cars. We have succeeded, and literally. The burn scars of the security guard will be there to remind him and his colleagues when they notice them that they are in fact vulnerable no matter how much they may think otherwise.

Here lies the second aspect of the rationale behind our attack and the conditions under which it was carried out. The central outcome of our operational planning was to completely destroy the service vehicle and injure the cop, which is what happened. If to some ears this sounds too violent and alienating to their humanistic, pea-brained little minds, then we are speaking and addressing those who read this text and either consciously and with clear political and ideological commitment advocate revolutionary violence by all means or those who instinctively rejoiced and chuckled when they heard the news of a cop being injured that day. To all of them we say that this act was another contribution to the feud we have with the bollocks of the Hellenic Police. We owe this feud and its continuation to our dead. It is a deep and conscious choice with the first and foremost weapon being the determination that defines the need to avenge our dead.

Chile: Documentary screening “Doom en $hile 16 (A) 2015”.

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

Hoping that your health, emotions, spirit and bodies are strong, we inform you that on Tuesday, April 15, from 19:00 hours we will hold in the space where the Sebastián Oversluij Seguel Anarchic Library is located (ask for address to: biblioangryantiso@riseup.net) the screening of the documentary “Doom en $hile 16 (A) 2015”, followed by a discussion, and we take this opportunity to let you know that on Wednesday April 16 there will be no shift in the Library as it commemorates 10 years of the massacre at the Doom concert, an open wound in the memory of punk.

On that occasion 5 punks died due to the thuggish attitude of those who produced the event, producer Fiskalia & Korova, while at the same time the mythical band Doom (a band with a long history within punk and which many of us grew up listening to their Police Bastard) continued to play while the events unfolded. A stampede, very common in this kind of concerts, in a staircase leading to a subway was the beginning of all this sad story, but the most terrible thing was the treatment of the security of the event who threw water and with electroshock proceeded to repress the people who were trapped between the bodies that were squeezed due to the little space and the containment fences, all this in pursuit of taking care of the damn money of those who sell events.

The names of those who died that night were Gastón, Fabián, Robert, Ignacio and Daniel, while several others were left with physical and emotional wounds and after-effects.

We call for (self-)critical reflection, individual and collective self-care, to raise our own spaces of diversion-confrontation with this stinking reality, away from the market, embracing the “do it yourself, alone or with your friends”, and thus make irrecoverable our antagonistic forms to the power to live, create, destroy and even to die.

Let’s recover from the bloody hands of the businessmen what made punk dangerous, far from caricatures, but from the most sincere and authentic that is possible and impossible, there are no limits when we decide to walk through the flashes of chaos.

We invite you this Tuesday, April 15, from 7:00 pm, at the library to share, discuss, stress, meet and disencounter around the documentary “Doom en $hile 16(A) 2015” to continue strengthening bonds of complicity and vomit in the face of this society everything we feel-think in the constant doing and undoing. At the same time we extend the invitation for this Wednesday, April 16, from 19:00 hours, in Alamierda (Alameda) with San Francisco, to participate in the commemoration of the 16(A).

With our prisoners, escaped, disappeared, tortured, dead… Always

Health, punk and anarchy…
¡¡¡Noise ve-mosh in the streets!!!!

Niort, France: “Direct action will continue as long as I live…”.

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

~~Libération~~ / Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Since September, a strange phenomenon has hit the streets of the Deux-Sèvres prefecture: about once a month, a vehicle from Elon Musk’s factories catches fire. “Libé” followed the pyromaniac’s footsteps until he was found [A Libé writer posted an ad about Indy Nantes and the compas were kind enough to reply; NdAtt.]

The thick smoke from Ivana’s electronic cigarette crashes against the window of her Tesla. “When I park it now, I choose a place where there’s a lot of traffic and cameras,” explains the twenty-something. In Niort (Deux-Sèvres), where this saleswoman works, a strange phenomenon has been roaming the streets since September. At least once a month, somewhere in town, a car from the famous American brand catches fire in the dead of night. A sort of Russian roulette of burnt-out tires. A werewolf game with a burnt-out car. In the parking lot alone, where her electric vehicle is refueled, the flames raged in October, and since then, no driver has risked taking the time off to recharge. The young woman is furious: “It’s shameful, we don’t burn cars for political reasons, just as we don’t buy a Tesla for Elon Musk.”

Faced with these serial fires, the hypothesis of an anti-Musk action is the first to be considered. Demonstrations, scratched vehicles, burning dealerships… In recent times, the damage done to the billionaire’s brand has been mounting as a result of the antics of its big boss. Especially since the Nazi salute by Trump’s right-hand man in January. Support for the far right and outright cuts in US administrations are, moreover, one of the explanations for Tesla’s 13% drop in sales in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the same period last year, and the collapse of the Austin-based brand’s share price by more than half since its record high on December 17, 2024. But in the case of Niort, doubt still hangs in the air: is the richest man in the world the target of the perpetrator, who is still wanted?

For a start, the dates don’t coincide: the first fires took place long before the big boss’s controversial gesture. Secondly, in addition to the dozen or so burnt-out Teslas, at least two luxury vehicles were also targeted. A Porsche and an Aston Martin. In the city’s beige streets, blackish marks now blend into the scenery. Here on charred branches, there on a once immaculate palisade. Libé followed these traces and traced them back to Niort’s serial arsonist.

Stéphan’s jinx

Right now, a lot of people are giving Stéphan a hard time. Colleagues, for one. “They asked me if I’d tried barbecuing,” says the construction salesman and vegetarian. And the firemen, too. “You again?” they taunted him on March 10. For the second time in a few months, the firemen put out a blaze just down the road from his home on the Route d’Aiffres. Once again, the flames reduced a white Tesla, his company vehicle, to ashes.

The first time was on September 15. “My neighbors had heard noises and voices, but at first I thought it was accidental”, says the forty-something with thin glasses. By the second Tesla HS, the doubt had dissipated. That night, the police arrived, very annoyed. Twenty minutes earlier, their patrol had passed the allée du Niortais without observing anything unusual. “We’ve been keeping an eye on all Tesla cars for some time now,” the officers explain.

By this time, they had also been looking for the culprit for some time. Since September, the Niort public prosecutor’s office has been investigating “wilful destruction by fire”. But for the time being, the serial arsonist continues to evaporate. Without ever leaving a clue as to his motives. From his living room, Stéphan has a view of the still-charred parking space. He looks wistfully at a bush that has also been hit: “The leaves hid the road in summer… It’s a shame.” At his feet, his dog, a shih tzu with matted hair, sighs in unison.

Athens, Greece : Update on developments regarding the health of comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z. (text update 3.4.25)

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

DEPRIVING PRISONERS OF MEDICAL CARE IS TORTURE

Hands off anarchist comrades Marianna M. and Dimitra Z.

On 31/10/24, following an explosion in an apartment in Ampelokipi, the anarchist armed fighter Kyriakos Xymitiris fell in the battle for social and class liberation, while the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who was also in the apartment, was severely injured, hospitalised and guarded in the ICU of the “Evangelismos” General Hospital. The following days, comrades Dimitra Z., Dimitris and Nikos R., as well as A.K., were remanded in custody.

From the very beginning, state violence was applied to comrade Marianna. With her transfer to Korydallos women’s prison just one day after the second operation she underwent, her hospitalisation was violently interrupted while she still had open wounds on her face, she could not walk or fully care for herself, was dizzy and in pain. The “Evangelismos” General Hospital discharged her as a patient in this condition, knowing full well the miserable environment of the prison to which she would be transferred, where there is not even any kind of hospital and therefore no possibility of providing her with extremely necessary medical care before she fully recovers.

Her torture in Korydallos prison continues to this day. Her serious health condition, as well as the risk of long-term complications, are the result of the deprivation of necessary medical post-operative care. From the very beginning they deprived her of the provision of pharmaceuticals and forced her to stay in cells full of cockroaches, in extremely poor sanitary conditions. While to this day – four months later – necessary and urgent diagnostic tests have not been initiated. To her request to be assessed by a doctor and immediately initiate a brain CT scan requested by an outside doctor who visited her a long time ago, the response of the prison neurologist was “if you don’t fall down with an epileptic seizure, we won’t take you to hospital.” A response that accurately reflects the condition of vindictiveness, punishment, and torture that the rulers impose on anyone who finds themselves captured in the cells of democracy.

To the already heavy situation of confinement was added the appearance of intense rashes and itching in comrade Dimitra. A short time later, the comrade Marianna also showed similar symptoms and only then was the diagnosis of scabies made, while they have been torturing Dimitra for two months with their icy indifference, attributing the symptoms to psychological reasons and administering sedatives to her without having ruled out pathological causes.

Atlanta, Georgia, U$A: Four Construction Vehicles Burned at Data Center

Posted on 2025/04/10 - 2025/04/10 by darknights

Anonymous Submission:

At the end of March, some entered the construction site of the data center hypercampus east of Atlanta, Georgia and burned 4 construction vehicles. This was done to oppose data centers that quickly exhaust the limited water supply of the region. This is another example of the country’s tendencies to externalize the costs of their relentless wealth hoarding to southeastern United States. They have chosen the south as an area of sacifice, that is, a place to deposit the most unpleasant industries and their waste. For them, our home is barely available within such parameters, as it can still be used as a landfill. Thus, the people who acted insist that those who try to steal our water, air and land must at least endure loss and embarrassment on their way to hell.

This specific data center has aimed at facilitating AI connection for local companies. AI not only use more water than other computer processes, but is quickly becoming a way for the state to increase its intrusion in our personal life. And more and more are used by police and state forces to monitor those who oppose them. The people who burned these machines do not believe that our thoughts and movements should be used for profit or incarceration.

If you are interested in taking similar steps against such opponents, there are many opportunities. Atlanta Region is one of the locations with the highest activity of the data center developers, but they appear across the country. Companies owned by these centers often are not based in regions in which construction happens. No matter where you are, you are likely to be able to identify a project, facility or corporate office associated with data centers. There are many opportunities to take action. Some neighbors in Atlanta were successful with traditional organizing approaches. However, when politicians inevitably sell you out, we hope that this action reminds you of alternatives.

Here are some tips that may guide you to identify potential targets. Driving in search of construction sites can produce good results. Notifications of public hearings for rezoning and new constructions can also be helpful. Comparing the logos and the name of the corporation on signs outside the construction via Tor Browser on Tails will also help narrow it down. Check that your research is done safely on tails before acting; there are many methods and techniques that others have developed to limit the state’s ability to stop you.
