Hamburg, Germany: For Nahel and all the others. Private car of cop set on fire

Posted on 2023/08/12 - 2023/08/12 by darknights

A reformist view of the police as an organ of power is not only naive but also dangerous. Continuous killings by the pigs in uniform are proof that neither internal anti-racist programs nor public debate are able to keep the trigger-happy monsters in check and prevent the next murder. When we hear about the execution of a 19 year old who was riddled with 34 bullets by several cops and miraculously survived paraplegic, our hatred once again rises to immeasurable levels and we have to do something.

Let them be afraid on their patrols through the neighborhoods of the marginalized. They should be afraid at their desks when they arrogantly look at the human filth outside their windows. They are supposed to be afraid when they lie in their little beds at night dreaming of action against evil.

Being a cop is a conscious choice. They hear about the murders and the methods of oppression. They know about it and still apply to the police.

They should be sure of our contempt.

In joyful hatred and with the energy that the revolt in France gives us, we set fire to the private car of a cop pig in Eimsbüttel in the night of 12.7.

We join in the action against power with the anti-authoritarians and angry revolters in France. The pigs killed Nahel M. in Nanterre. The cop who took Nahel’s life and caused his family endless grief did it because he felt he had the right to do so. His uniform and his training give him permission. This pig identifies so much with his disgusting profession that he decides for himself whose life has value and whose does not.

Every cop is a potential danger.

Non-white people in a white society are much more often affected by deadly police violence than white people. But socially excluded, drug addicted, mentally ill, or people who are not from the right or middle class spectrum feel police violence more often.

We find ourselves in eternal hatred together with other hood-wearing people on the streets and squares of revolts.

So that the fear changes sides.

Italy: Crackdown operation against anarchist newspaper ‘Bezmotivny’

Posted on 2023/08/11 - 2023/08/11 by darknights

CRACKDOWN OPERATION AGAINST ANARCHIST NEWSPAPER BEZMOTIVNY

At dawn today, August 8, the state, at the hands of the Genoa Public Prosecutor’s Office (in the figure of prosecutor Federico Manotti) and the DIGOS in La Spezia, carried out yet another repressive operation against the anarchist movement, with which it would like to silence – as was already happening over a hundred years ago with the “anti-anarchist laws” – every revolutionary yearning and aspiration.

Ten anarchist comrades are accused in this investigation, including five comrades from Carrara, for whom the prosecutor had originally requested arrest in prison: an order that Preliminary Investigation Judge Riccardo Ghio has changed to four house arrests with all restrictions, five residence obligations with overnight return, and one comrade with no restrictions. For one of the four comrades receiving house arrest was ordered by the GIP to be translated into prison as he lacked a formal residence: Luigi was therefore transferred to the La Spezia prison.

In addition to the house raids, the Anarchist Cultural Centre “Gogliardo Fiaschi,” the historical anarchist headquarter in Carrara, was raided. Magazines, books, leaflets, posters, and computers were subjected to seizure.

The comrades are charged with subversive association for the purpose of terrorism (art. 270 bis c. p.) and incitement to commit crimes (art. 424 c. p.) aggravated by the purpose of terrorism, in connection with the publication, as of 2020, of the fortnightly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny,” as well as offense to the honor and prestige of the president of the republic and clandestine printing.

Updates will follow on the steps that will be taken in solidarity with the comrades.

Revolutionary solidarity with the comrades arrested and subjected to the restrictive measures!

No gods nor state, neither servants nor masters!

Anarchist Cultural Circle “Gogliardo Fiaschi”
Carrara, August 8, 2023

–

On Tuesday, August 8, a crackdown operation against the anarchist movement was deployed in several cities, ridiculously called “Scripta Scelera” (perhaps an educated reference to the laws defined as heinous against the anarchist movement in France in the last decade of the 19th century? Or perhaps a reference to the recent trial Scripta Manent?). The investigation, directed by the DIGOS [political police] in La Spezia and the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office in Genoa, is aimed particularly at targeting the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny,” published from the last months of 2020. The original request for ten prison arrests (five of which were aimed at the comrades of the “Gogliardo Fiaschi” Anarchist Circle in Carrara) by prosecutor Manotti – already responsible for multiple proceedings against anarchist comrades -, was changed by the judge for the preliminary investigation into four house arrests with all restrictions and electronic bracelet, five obligations of residence with overnight return and one comrade without any restrictions. A fellow recipient of house arrest was transferred to prison in La Spezia as he lacked a formal residence.

With this operation, once again, as was the case with the Scripta Manent trial (which involved convictions for the publication of the latest edition of “Anarchist Black Cross” and the management of some websites) and the Sibilla operation against the anarchist newspaper “Vetriolo,” the state intends to hit in a special way anarchist publications with the intention of giving a warning to the entire revolutionary movement.

We place no trust in the justice of the State: we uphold our ideas, we fight for the opening up of possibilities for liberation, we rejoice when the structures and figures responsible for exploitation and oppression are attacked. To take action against the state and the bosses is to have matured a determination such that it does not need to be “instigated,” because it is autonomy of thought and action that is expressed, not gregariousness and subordination to orders (a characteristic, this one, typical instead of the servants of the state).

Moreover, with this operation the state intends to restore the prestige of counterterrorism and the anti-mafia unit, eroded by the mobilization in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against 41 bis and indefinite life imprisonment. This investigation, in fact, unfolds under the coordination of the National Directorate of Anti-Mafia and Counterterrorism, one of the top structures responsible for the repressive offensive against the anarchist and revolutionary movement.

SOLIDARITY WITH COMRADES UNDER ARREST AND UNDER THE RESTRICTIONS!
AGAINST CENSORSHIP, WE PERSEVERE IN AGITATION AND ANARCHIST PROPAGANDA!
TODAY AS YESTERDAY, AGAINST THE STATE, CAPITAL AND EVERY AUTHORITY!

Chile: Arson attack on Red bus in Estación Central in solidarity with political prisoners

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

In the early morning of Monday, July 31, a group of people who boarded as passengers, intimidated the driver, got off the other passengers and sprayed benzine to set fire to a Red bus on Las Rejas Avenue, next to Lo Errazuriz Park.

According to the Minister of Transportation Juan Carlos Muñozs, “this is a matter of investigation, however, preliminary information indicates that it is likely to have been intentional. Of course, we find this much more than regrettable, it is condemnable”.

A banner read: “Subversive Solidarity between peoples in resistance! Freedom to the subversive, anarchist and Mapuche prisoners: Luis Tranamil, Nelson Queupil, Rodrigo Cáceres, Daniel Canio, Mónica y Francisco, Mauricio Hernández, Tomy Moto, Caso Susaron and Caso Gendarmería. Our path is and will be the weichan!!!” Continue reading “Chile: Arson attack on Red bus in Estación Central in solidarity with political prisoners” →

Chile: Case of compañero Zukato

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

On Saturday, July 22, comrade Zukato suffered burns to his body when he handled some accelerant in the midst of the occupation of the Liceo de Aplicación, an educational establishment of which he is a member. Due to the seriousness of what happened, he was taken urgently to the Posta Central where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery.

Amidst the expectation and manipulative practices of the hegemonic press, Zukato’s family informs that around 8:30 in the morning of Wednesday, July 26th, the comrade entered the Emergency Ward for the second time. These interventions, by the way quite long, were accompanied from the street by students from Liceo Tajamar, L1, Liceo de Aplicación and individuals who held vigils in different parts of Santiago.

On Wednesday evening, Zukato’s mother was intimidated inside the former central hospital. She, having authorization to move freely around the hospital, not only because her 16 year old son is in serious condition but also because of the Mila Law (law of dignified accompaniment), was prevented by security guards who obstructed her steps to prevent her from seeing Zukato, who entered the ward. In resistance, she refused, advancing through the corridors until about 10 guards arrived and pushed her out and, at the same time, called the carabineros, who arrived quickly, handcuffing her and transferring her to the first police station. After a few hours, she was released without first being threatened by the Carabineros.

These scenarios of permanent harassment against those who fight, occurs in all possible scenarios, in all generations, whether they are children, mothers, grandparents. In spite of this, solidarity did not cease, with a massive march along Alameda, where pamphlets and banners were displayed, in addition to the communication of words of his comrades outside the National Library, while Zukato remains hospitalized, breathing on his own and trying to return little by little to his stability, passing from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to the Intensive Trauma Unit (ITU).

On August 1, he went into surgery at 8:30 a.m., this time for specialized and deep procedures. Continue reading “Chile: Case of compañero Zukato” →

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack on Red bus in Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño school by Zukato

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

On Tuesday, August 1, an incendiary attack was made on a Red bus outside the Liceo Barros Borgoño in solidarity with the Liceo de Aplicación student and classmate Zukato. A weapon was also displayed from the windows of the front of the establishment, intimidating the presence of the Carabineros who arrived to extinguish the fire on the bus and transfer it to the terminal to be inspected.

A banner and pamphlet read: “Zukato, we support you with kaos and rebellion” and “Solidarity and newen to those who do not hesitate to attack this world of misery. We call for solidarity with compa Zukato, who was injured and has been caught up in the morbidity and criminalization of the bourgeois press. In this same way we make it clear that as combative and subversive supporters we are not even in the sewer with their media, dominated and manipulated for the good of the powerful. Newen and speedy recovery for Zukato! Continue reading “Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack on Red bus in Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño school by Zukato” →

Chile: Mother’s words for comrade Zukato

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

Dear Compañerxs:

To tell you that physically Zukato is stable, out of risk and advancing every day in his recovery. We are grateful for every show of solidarity during these days; from long accompaniments outside the hospital, the propaganda in the streets, in the territories and also in other brother towns. These actions and gestures undoubtedly transform rage and pain into hope.

The secondary struggle of our young people has been going on for decades, demanding dignified conditions to study where the repressive apparatus of the state has only criminalized them, instead of providing a solution and establishing minimum conditions. They have delivered letters, they have had meetings with the local power and nothing has been achieved, the small advances have been taken out in marches, hunger strikes and takeovers.

The costs have been extremely high for many of them. Today again they are calling to “resolve the petitions” because we all dream of a decent education, where high schools should be a protective factor and not a risk factor. They have also positioned themselves in a place against the system of misery and exploitation that we are inheriting from them, they have positioned themselves against repression, abuses, child abuse in sename centers, against prison and in favor of freedom.

They have much to teach us. While we, the working class, seem to put up with poor conditions willingly, the rich have never had to worry about their children not receiving a quality education, rather they are being trained to run the world they are left.

Sadly in this struggle today was my son Zukato. His speedy recovery, is impregnated with all the good vibes, prayers or thoughts that each of you sent him. We are not alone.

So let’s keep thinking, supporting his recovery from wherever and however we can.

Hold on Class solidarity!
Muchas gracias.

Chile: Words of solidarity for Zukato from comrade Koda from Santiago 1

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

I want to send a fraternal embrace, love and all the strength for the family and comrade injured in the high school during a occupation, and that as a result of this the damn bourgeois press uses his image to make a moral feast against the social struggle against this repressive system and precarious, believing with all the right to spread an accident of an active and like-minded comrade.

Little brother Zukato I send you my maximum support, love and strength for this adversity, we know that this road will be full of adversities and that in spite of this we continue with our heads held high, that you are not alone comrade, here we are attentive to you and letting the morbid bourgeois and bastards know that you are not alone and that we will never leave any brother or sister alone.

Much strength brother!
Complicet and insurrectionary solidarity with our brother!

No one is alone. And knowing that our path leads us to an abyss, we continue to stand with our heads held high and always supporting each other.
Let’s not let go of the streets
Speedy recovery zukato!

Germany: Rigaer94 – Evictions kill DE/EN

Posted on 2023/08/07 - 2023/08/07 by darknights

###english below

Heute sind in Spandau Poster und Flyer aufgetaucht, die auf die Geschehnisse vor Ort, vom 24. Juli 2023 aufmerksam machen sollen. Der Text von den Postern und Flyern ist der Folgende, die Poster findet ihr im Anhang:

Was sich am Dienstag, den 24. Juli am Brunsbüttler Damm in Spandau ereignet hat, ist kein Einzelfall sondern einer der vielen Momente, in denen sich das kapitalistische System in seiner mörderischen Konsequenz offenbart. Ein System, in dem das Recht auf Eigentum höher gewertet und vom Staat geschützt wird als das Bedürfnis eines Menschen, ein Dach über dem Kopf zu haben.

Wir wissen kaum etwas über die tödlichen Umstände oder was seine Ideen, ja wer der 62-jährige Mieter war, der sich mit einer Schusswaffe gegen seine Zwangsräumung wehrte und während des darauf folgenden SEK-Einsatzes sich selbst erschossen zu haben scheint. Und was wir wissen, ist vorher durch die Hände von Medien und Bullen gegangen und nicht aus der direkten Kommunikation entstanden. Doch auch ohne diese Informationen, können wir die Systematik hinter diesen Momenten erkennen. Und zwar, dass während Wohnungsbauunternehmen und Privateigentümer:innen tausender von Wohnungen fette Profite einstreichen, in Berlin die Mietpreise explodieren, das Angebot an Mietwohnungen äußerst knapp ist und gegenwärtige Krisen und Inflation Mieter:innen in eine äußerst prekäre Situation treiben, in der das monatliche Geld kaum für die Deckung aller Kosten reicht.

Zwangsräumungen sind alltäglicher Ausdruck einer stetig wachsenden Schere zwischen Arm und Reich. 2021 fanden in Berlin – allein schon laut offiziellen Zahlen – um die 1.668 Zwangsräumungen statt. Das sind mehr als 4 pro Tag. Die Verantwortung dafür tragen Hauseigentümer:innen, Politiker:innen, Richter:innen und Bullen, denn sie alle stehen auf der Seite des Unrechts. Dass ihre Entscheidungen Konsequenzen für das Leben von Mieter:innen haben, sie in die Verzweiflung und aus ihren gewohnten Nachbarschaften heraus in die Isolation, in Wohnungslosigkeit und eine Armutsspirale treiben können, ist dabei bewusste doch als nebensächlich betrachtete Folge. Indem sie, mit der politischen Rückendeckung von Seiten des Staates und mit Hilfe loyaler Diener:innen (den Bullen), wachsende Profite zur Priorität machen, greifen sie die unterste Klasse an. Immer wieder enden Zwangsräumungen tödlich, so wie:

* am 03.08.2022 in Köln, als Bullen Lousef B. während seiner Zwangsräumung erschossen
* am 31.05.2021 in Berlin, als sich Peter H. vor seiner Zwangsräumung das Leben nahm
* am 11.04.2013 in Berlin, als Rosemarie F. zwei Tage nach ihrer Zwangsräumung in einer Kältehilfeeinrichtung verstarb Continue reading “Germany: Rigaer94 – Evictions kill DE/EN” →

Chile: Claim of incendiary attack on RED bus outside the San Miguel Prison

Posted on 2023/08/07 - 2023/08/07 by darknights

Received by e-mail:

Incendiary attack on RED bus outside San Miguel Prison

When we visualize the face of the enemy, we immediately recognize the prison and its penitentiary system, with all its apparatuses and officials, as a focus to destroy, since it is there where historically they have sought to imprison revolutionary minds and actions.

Both in the past and in the present, we know that our comrades in prison have had to resist on a daily basis the constant harassment of their bodies, as the gendarmerie tries to systematically provoke the demoralization of our comrades in prison, through humiliation, punishment, torture, threats to take away their visits or orders in the face of any act that alters the codes of domination within the modules.

That is why, by means of a precision attack, we have set fire to a RED bus with an efficient incendiary device outside the San Miguel Prison, with the aim of altering the passivity that can be smelled in the streets in the face of a society that watches and controls behavior, longing for submission and building a false belief about the impossibility of fighting it.

A special greeting to comrade Monica Caballero, who is in a new trial against her together with Francisco Solar for several explosive attacks against repressors and powerful people. Insurrectional solidarity with Monica and Francisco!

A warm embrace for Itamar Diaz who recently experienced the punishment of the San Miguel jailers after confronting their authoritarian dynamics. Also for the comrades in Santiago 1 who were dispersed to different modules after showing solidarity with Itamar.

For all of you, a gesture of solidarity turned into fire, trying to oxygenate the daily life in prison, know that you are with us in every action. A speedy recovery to comrade Zukato.

For the abolition of prisons!
To multiply the autonomous action!

Call for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners 2023 // 23 – 30 August

Posted on 2023/08/05 by darknights

The world is on fire. The climate crisis is getting worse and worse. Instead of masks against Covid-19, people now have to wear masks against smoke from forest fires. At the same time huge areas getting flooded due to heavy rain caused by the ongoing pollution of the environment. Nothing of that is caused by individual decisions of the people. It is not cause by buying the wrong product in the supermarket. It is caused by the systematic exploitation of nature and humanity. Governments and big corporations are the ones steering us into a climate catastrophe that, at this point, seems to be unstoppable.
Governments and big corporations that created a world where wealthy people are more important than others. This was especially visible while the global media had nothing better to do than talking for 5 days about a missing submarine filled with 5 rich people, while hundreds of others are dying in the mediterranean sea during their try to get chances for a better life.

Extreme right, conservative and authoritarian politics are increasing all around the world. Some use it to start Wars and kill thousands of people, some build fences and guard what they think is their property and others use it to arm up in the digital world. Surveillance is increased and the states are leaping more and more into our private spaces, analyzing our private conversations and collecting data about us with a depth of detail we could never have imagined. The tools of the states to crush resistance, crush even the idea of fighting the system, are sharpened with every minute. Many anarchists, anti-authoritarians, environmental activists, and antifascist around the world face repression because acting anonymous in a digitalized world is as difficult as never before.

With all the obstacles put into our way during the struggle for a better world, anarchist ideas and values remain important. In times of crisis methods of collective organizing, mutual aid and the principle of solidarity start to shine. The system will fall apart and we should get ready to take back a world that was stolen by companies, yacht owners and the war industry. A world that was meant for everyone. And while our friends are put behind bars and states try to hide them in the darkest corners of their prisons, we will not hold still but fight till they are free again.

Let’s break out together!

That is why we are calling again for International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners. Do some action of solidarity! Write letters, organize speeches or film screenings, make our comrades visible on the streets with a banner drop or a graffiti and let them show that they are in our hearts and that we are fighting together.

Let’s remember those who fought against this injustice and payed with their lives.

No one is free, till all are free!
