Oakland, USA: Police Vehicle Becomes Target for Arsonists

Posted on 2023/03/02 - 2023/03/02 by darknights

Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sabotaged in Downtown Oakland

Saturday, February 11th 2023 during the early morning between 1 and 3 am.
The war against the police continues in the East Bay. One Oakland Police cruiser was sabotaged in the Police Administration building parking lot, resulting in it being towed. An accomplice looked out for oncoming traffic and returning police vehicles, while the other approached the lot from the opposite direction.

Officers lazily patrolling the area were easily clocked. There was plenty of time to open the gas cap, which was unlocked to our surprise. Torn cloth soaked in lighter fluid and isopropyl alcohol was stuffed into the gas tank. It stayed lit and ignited the rest of the gas inside, causing it to burn while cops in their SUVs watched and waited for the fire department to come. This took roughly 10-15 minutes while cops sat on their asses, afraid to approach the car.

In the name Tyre Nichols and all black people who have lost their lives to the hands of the police Fuck 12

London, UK: Vandalism at the Italian Cultural Center in London in Solidarity with anarchist Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Vandalism at the Italian Cultural Center in London

It appears that on 24th February, something unfortunate happened to the Italian Cultural Institute in London.

At this sophisticated outpost of the Italian state, guests are invited to enjoy a current series of lectures, from handpicked academic experts, on the great social and political issues of the day, with the ambassador in attendance. The previous week, the audience was treated to a discussion of the energy transition, and next week the theme was to be Justice.

All this makes it so regretable that the building’s romanesque facade, with elegant white columns and heavy wooden door, seems to have been soaked in paint by some vandal[s] clearly without the capacity to appreciate such things.

Maybe it was some disbeliever[s] in capitalism’s ‘sustainable’ future? Unhelpful people looking to provoke, always making trouble for sensible plans.

It would be a particular shame if the act casts a shadow on next week’s lecture. A gathering of cultured and cosmopolitan persons to hear about such a delicate subject as Justice surely calls for a glass of Italian wine and a canape consumed in peaceful contemplation.

Could it be that the irresponsible[s] wanted to pour scorn on the Italian State for its massacres in the prisons during the 2020 lockdown? Or for its dependable and bloody role in securing the border of europe against the pressure of irregular migration?

But another troubling interpretation remains. After all, Alfredo Cospito, whose struggle by hunger strike against the notorious isolation regime of 41bis is in its last critical stages, had yet another appeal rejected later that same day, by the wise members of the Italian judiciary.

This struggle, having stirred a whirlwind of action sweeping beyond the walls of the prison, even accross national boundaries, is becoming so severe that it is SUPPOSED to have increased the security around diplomatic buildings of the Italian State internationally for some time now.

Whatever the truth, we can be sure that the impulses behind such an act can only contribute to the general atmosphere of indignation and lack of dialogue with power that Alfredo Cospito’s struggle, against the terms of life and death set by authority, seems to have enflamed everywhere.

Leipzig, Germany: Spontaneous demonstration, damage and barricades in the eastern part of the city

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

We learn from the German media that on the evening of Saturday, Feb. 18, in Leipzig’s Neustadt-Neuschönefeld district, some solidarians organized and carried out a spontaneous demonstration during which about ten cars were damaged, including a car belonging to a construction company and a police vehicle. The windows of an insurance agency, advertising panels and a barricade was erected and set on fire with material taken from a construction site were attacked. A riot police vehicle, which was overtaking the scene, failed to avoid the four-pronged nails scattered on the ground by comrades and was also damaged. The banner at the head of the procession read, “VENDETTA PER ALFREDO. BOMB COPS.”

Philadelphia, USA: Norfolk Southern Rail Sabotage

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

In solidarity with the struggle against the police, entertainment and real estate industry in the Welanuee forest, the mainline belonging to the Norfolk Southern company in Lenape territory north of so called Philadelphia was sabotaged. Copper wire was used to connect the tracks, tripping the signal and potentially stopping train traffic until the wire is located. This action is incredible easy and simple to repeat.
NS funds the Atlanta police foundation, and is also responsible for the large spill of toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio. The spill of vinyl chloride is toxic when it leaks into the ground and air, but don’t forget that this chemical is being used in large scale production of everyday industrial products. Large shipping companies like NS are the circulatory system of industrial colonialism. NS is responsible for massive ecological and social devastation through disasters like the recent derailment but they do even more damage when they function with out derailments. So many destructive companies can not function with out NS and other shipping and logistics companies. How would the massive mono cultures of industrial agriculture move their soy and corn to processing plants and slaughter houses? How would Loggers transport lumber to and from mills? How would oil and other chemicals move from extraction to the industry that so readily consume them? How would Amazon get shipping containers from cargo ships to distribution centers with out NS, and the other rail roads?
Perhaps NS funds cop city because they understand both how crucial they are in building a dead world and exactly how vulnerable they are.

With love for Tort, and infinite hostility for cops who killed them.

Minneapolis, USA: Public Works Truck Lit on Fire in Response to Evictions

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

On the early hours of the 24th, in response to the eviction of indigenous elders, land defenders and allies from the roof depot in East Phillips, a Minneapolis public works truck near the depot was lit on fire.

Why light a truck on fire?
The city of Minneapolis continues to ignore the most vulnerable people who live here. The roof depot is an abandoned building which the city wants to demolish and use to expand the public works facility. If the depot is demolished in its current condition, it will unearth plumes of arsenic into the air. East Phillips is one of the most diverse neighborhoods of Minneapolis and is already experiencing pollution and environmental racism.

The community of East Phillips has made their demands for environmental justice known for over a year. The community wants the property converted into an urban farm. Despite overwhelming public response, the city is pushing forward with their plan. A burnt-out truck is a small price to pay to protect the health and safety of our neighbors.

We acted autonomously and encourage others to take matters into their own hands.
We stand in solidarity with comrades in Atlanta who seeking to stop the construction a cop training ground in the Weelaunee forest.

Defend the depot
Vive tortugita
Fuck 12

Hambach Forest, Germany: Four hunting towers destroyed in solidarity with the prisoners of the Susaron case in Chile

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Some days ago, during a cold night in the forest, we went for have fun and attack. We had a lot of rage against those who are killing non human animals near the forest, perpetrating the human supremacy. So we went to destroy their fuckin structures, 4 of them. Just a pair of saws were enough to cut them and throw them to the ground. In one of the towers, we found food for non humans (they use it for attract them and kill them) so we took it and spread it in a place far from it in the middle of the forest.

In our minds were the prisoners of the Susaron case in Chile, anarconihilists and antispeciesists, accused of the arson of a meat packaging plant. We claim this action in solidarity with them.

THE NIGHT IS OURS, LETS CONTINUE THE ATTACK
SPREAD THE CHAOS

Chile: Text from San Miguel prison in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

Every day that Alfredo Cospito continues his hunger strike to stop the torturous regime of 41bis, is another day in which he shows us how strong his convictions are and how far he is willing to take his coherence. Every day that Alfredo spends on hunger strike, more and more indomitable people around the world take action in solidarity with him. As anti-authoritarians kidnapped by the Chilean State, with these letters we intend to make a small gesture of solidarity with him and a call for solidarity actions to continue to multiply. Day by day we become aware of attacks, radio broadcasts, meetings, etc. that in their essence seek to pressure and/or publicize Alfredo’s situation, it is crucial for him that we correspond to his struggle with the same integrity that he embraces and faces it.

Our hands and our hearts are concerned about the current repressive scenario that Alfredo is living, especially knowing that every day that passes is more and more critical for him. We are filled with rage, hatred and frustration to know that these words will not be read by our comrade, but we are comforted to know that perhaps these letters will be transformed into action in other restless hands. Actions absolutely necessary before the hearing that the comrade will have to face on February 24, where his permanence or not in the 41bis regime will be decided. Alfredo will never be alone. Despite the miles and walls that separate us, our hearts are intertwined in the complicity of action and the idea.
Let the night light up in solidarity with Alfredo!
An end to 41 bis and to all exceptional regimes of isolation!

Italy: Alfredo Cospito was transferred again to the Opera prison in Milan

Posted on 2023/03/01 by darknights

Alfredo Cospito was transferred again to the Opera prison in Milan (Feb. 27, 2022)

We learn that today, Feb. 27, anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, who has been on hunger strike for 131 days, was transferred from the prison medical ward located in San Paolo Hospital to the Intensive Care Service (SAI) inside Opera Prison in Milan, where he was already before being transferred to San Paolo on Feb. 11.

The February 24 hearing in the Court of Cassation, which upheld the order of detention under 41 bis, definitively ratified the state’s will to annihilate the comrade, which had already been defined in December with the outcome of the hearing in the Rome surveillance court. This latest transfer from San Paolo to Opera is perfectly in line with that will of annihilation. They intend to destroy a comrade and with him they believe they are giving a warning to the revolutionary struggle in this country. The intent, however, is in vain: the need to fight against the state and capital is ineradicable, the desire to overthrow this authoritarian social reality is inextinguishable.

DEATH TO THE STATE, ALWAYS FOR ANARCHY

Pisa, Italy: Claim of the placement of an explosive device against the courthouse by the Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries / FAI-FRI

Posted on 2023/02/26 by darknights

Claim of the placement of an explosive device against the courthouse by the Revolutionary Solidarity Group – Home Deliveries / FAI-FRI (Pisa, Feb. 21, 2023)

EXPLOSIVE DEVICE AGAINST THE COURT OF PISA

1 paper bomb filled with black powder + gas cylinder + incendiary bottle with timed trigger

The state, including the democratic state, is the greatest danger to the life and liberty of all living beings. It allows capitalism to flourish by ensuring the stability it needs through its punitive and repressive system. Everything and everyone must submit to its rules for the defense of mastery. Rules that serve to keep society pacified. The ability to conflate with this system of oppression and exploitation is stemmed through prevention, by keeping an eye on and placing in an asphyxiating system of social reintegration anyone who does not comply, and through the courts when thought becomes action, whether it is refusal of work and illegalism or direct action and subversion. Of individuals who choose to stay out of the social peace, there have always been some, so the criminal justice system takes on great importance for the maintenance of the state.

In every court every day hundreds of exploited people are sentenced. At blows of sentences men and women are buried in jails and their relationships of friendship and love mutilated. By blows of explosives structures will be struck and men of power maimed.

For every death at sea, in jail, of labor, in CPRs, not one but 100 bombs to the bosses.

Your cameras and guards sifting the city will never be enough to stop the action from penetrating your buildings.

On the night of Feb. 21, we placed an explosive device in the back door of the Pisa courthouse. We do not know if the deflagration occurred, but we would like to emphasize that this action takes on no small importance: we proved that it is possible to get close to the palaces of power and strike.

To counterterrorism: we know that you are preparing countless arrests for all these months of mobilization. Damn freeloaders, know that the blows of us oppressed will soon reach your hands.

The decisions made by Roberto Sparagna, by former Justice Minister Marta Cartabia, by the Rome Supervisory Court, up to those made by the current Justice Minister Nordio, will have historic importance for the quality of revolutionary violence.
