Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack on some vehicles of PosteItaliane, Italgas and EnjoyEni

Posted on 2023/01/25 by darknights

We receive from anonymous email and publish:

Thanks to the fires that ignited the beginning of the new year, which inspired and encouraged us, on the night of January 22 we placed flammable material and set fire to the primers against 3 vehicles of PosteItaliane, Italgas and EnjoyEni.

This action is meant to ardently respond to the international call to mobilization for anarchist and revolutionary prisoners.

The attacks that have ignited revolt and empowered anarchist claims around the world in recent months have shown how the conflict has not died down and how at every latitude of the globe there is someone willing to go out of their way to strike at the state and its collaborators.

We see with joy how much the actions and claims of them break linguistic and national boundaries, creating informal communication in practice. Each attack inspires and places specific common goals on the plate, so we believe it is effective to grasp these clues by fitting into a vision of permanent, internationalist conflict.

The internationalism of action resurfaces effectiveness in the coordination of attack, which is not formal and predetermined but develops informally through propaganda of the deed.

The multiplication of actions across state borders shows how the conflict is not merely a matter of historical memory, but how it lives in the here and now of struggle, in everyday revolt, and how it expresses itself through the sharing of a total denial of political compromises and strategies of any kind.

Italy: Vicious, obtuse and stupid. DAP officials want to gag even Alfredo’s doctor

Posted on 2023/01/25 by darknights

Yesterday, Jan. 23, the Department of Penitentiary Administration in Sassari, in the person of “Director on Mission” Carmen Forino, forwarded a formal ban against Dr. Angelica Milia, the doctor who visits Alfredo Cospito in the Bancali prison. The doctor is warned against making any statement to Radio Onda d’Urto, under penalty of revoking her authorization to visit Alfredo. All this “in order not to thwart the purposes of the regime under Article 41Bis.”

In short, DAP officials-on whose shoulders fall the responsibility, to stick to recent history alone, for the massacre carried out in Italian prisons in March 2020, as well as the beatings and torture perpetrated in Santa Maria Capua Vetere in the following month-would like Alfredo not only to crack in that grave in which he was locked up, but to crack in general silence. As a poet wrote at another time and to other state officials, “You are murderers, gentlemen; and I would also add (this is a point of view I cherish) that you are ridiculous murderers.”

Being the most vicious and most obtuse part of state institutions-used to being accountable to no one for their repressive actions-the DAP is also the stupidest. Only fools, in fact, can write in black and white that the very fact of informing about the state of health of a prisoner on hunger strike for ninety-six days succeeds in “nullifying the purposes of the regime under Article 41Bis.” Here it is, then, the purpose of 41Bis, openly and brazenly declared by Ms. Forino: to banish her inmates from the world of the living, mute bodies that no one should talk about.

Vicious, obtuse and stupid, you will get the exact opposite.

Berlin, Germany: Fire for Green Capitalism – Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

In the night from Thursday (the 19.01.) to Friday an electric car charging station at the Engelbecken in Berlin Kreuzberg was set on fire. It happened in a night full of international actions to show solidarity with our comrade Alfredo Cospito. It is reported that he will soon be force-fed, against which he clearly and forcefully opposes. In a letter to his lawyer he writes:
“[…] Life is meaningless in this grave for the living.”

This act is also an act against green capitalism, which is sold as a holy solution to today’s capitalism. This is, of course, nonsense and continues to reinforce mechanisms of oppression that are already inherent in the system today. Among these can be named colonialism, from which many countries in the global South suffer because capitalist companies from the global North plunder the resources there. Because, in order to satiate the rush for an electric mobility, tons of rare earth, minerals and raw materials have to be extracted and thus countless human lives are stolen, families torn apart, communities ruined, ecosystems destroyed. We would like to share with you a detailed article about the connection between capitalism and colonialism with the following link:
https://kontrapolis.info/7953/

Furthermore, consequences of destructive capitalism, to a lesser extent, are also felt near us. We think of, the people who have defended Lützerath to the end and welcome those who have resisted with all means. But after the eviction is unfortunately still before the eviction, so we send out a lot of strength to all other (forest) occupations (Heibo, Fecher, etc.).

These charging stations are often used to charge electric SUVs or car sharing cars, for those who can afford something other than public transport. This sends electricity into inefficient individual transportation options and money into the pockets of private companies. Even more money is wasted in this, as the Berlin Senate is supporting the “implementation of the electrification of commercial motor vehicle fleets in the capital” through the WELMO funding program. At a time when more and more people are having trouble paying their (electricity) bills…. we do not need to explain further.

This one action remains symbolic in itself. One column among hundreds that exist in Berlin is not much. But this night we have seen that these stations are relatively easy targets for direct actions and are difficult to delete. Once you need good strength and a DNA-free tool to crack the door, and a flammable package that can be placed inside.

Herein we also want to call for the days of action in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito! https://de.indymedia.org/node/253254

Mülheim, Germany: Lützerath is Everywhere! Strabag Vehicle Torched

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

The Strabag construction group runs a dirty business: highway and jail construction. In addition, the company cooperates intensively with the energy company RWE on the opencast mines in the Rhenish lignite mining area, also directly near Lützerath. Now we have joined the action campaign against Strabag and continue the fight against the mining of the extremely climate-damaging lignite in a decentralized way! Lützerath is everywhere and wherever we are, our resistance can unfold in many ways!

The small hamlet of Lützerath has made it to worldwide fame after its occupation, although this place had been doomed for a long time. The fight against the eviction and the brutally enforced capital interests of RWE, Strabag and Co. was magnificent, although the destruction of the place could not be prevented. Lützerath is currently the symbol of resistance against the deadly energy policy of the government at the federal level and in NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia). Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, have made it clear that something has to change fundamentally and that the state and its police do not bring justice, but rather help capital achieve its objectives in the most brutal way.

Lützerath is lost, but the battle can now be fought with renewed fires! In any place!

With our small contribution and very simple means, we see ourselves as part of an alliance with all forms of struggle of the anti-capitalist climate movement. Demonstrations, sit-ins, discussions, attacks, gluing, sabotage, lock-ons, occupations and tunnels – anything that helps in our counterattack for the good of all life!

Much love to all the injured and the prisoners.

Heraklion, Crete, Greece: Arson Attack Against the Tax Office

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

In the morning of 20/12/22 it was announced on the radio that early in the morning a huge fire broke out in the Heraklion Tax Office following an arson attack. After several hours the fire brigade managed to extinguish the fire but the damage to the logistical infrastructure and the building is estimated at tens of thousands of euros.

You who are reading these lines, stop for a moment and ask yourself if your life is a life worth living as a human being. If the answer is no, then you ought to seek out those responsible for dictating your life and undermining your dignity. Evictions of first home owners at the crack of dawn, with armed forces of cops carrying out the vile entreaties of their bosses, taxes, sky-high rents, inflated electricity bills, food and fuel shortages, meagre wages, uninsured work, half pay and bonuses that get returned to the hands of the bosses, cut pensions and a broken health care system. All of this adds up to a suffocating daily life in which you have no time to live.

There are many voices of reaction and more, but all kinds of exploiters make sure to silence and suppress them as much as they can. Whether it is the upgrading of the penal code, the law on “football supporter violence”, cameras everywhere, entry/exit barriers on public transport and in schools, the ban on strikes and demonstrations, terror laws, inspections, fines, thugs, raids, threats, beatings, staged trials, detentions, punitive sentences, deportations of immigrants, torture, murders and much more.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for breaking of windows at a store of Sklavenitis & the town hall in Kaisariani

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

On Friday 13/01 we chose to attack the store of Sklavenitis and the town hall in Kaisariani causing material damage to the facades of the buildings.

The bloodthirsty bosses are transferring the crisis of capital onto the shoulders of our class. The more they oppress us, the richer they get. The bleeding of our lives, working every day in miserable conditions and not knowing if we will make it through the month with rents, electricity, water and supermarket prices skyrocketing, fills us with rage.

The state sends its minions to murder Roma for 20 euros and evict us from our homes for debts of a few hundred euros. The same, following in the footsteps of other European countries, is passing the new prison code, which makes the lives of prisoners even more miserable. At the same time we see that the resistance of the prisoners to this policy is being fought by the state with revengeful transfers, such as those of Th. Chatziangelou and K. Dimalexis. The state apparatus is heading towards murder and aims at the extermination of the comrades. Their apparent indifference to Th. Chatziangelou, who was on hunger and thirst strike since 19/12, while now (on the day of writing) he continues his hunger strike, was only a choice of theirs. His fraudulent transfer to the Korydallos hospital does not fool us and we know that it is a tactic for our complacency and not a retreat.

The attempt to silence and weaken insurrectionary, anti-authoritarian movements is a standard tactic of the state. Our response must be forceful and unyielding. We will not allow ourselves to be oppressed and robbed of our lives for the self-preservation of states and capital that work against us.

STATE AND CAPITAL THE ONLY TERRORISTS

Volos, Greece: Responsibility claim for an attack on ATMs, cops and OPKE in memory of Vassilis Maggos

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

“Cops, judges, politicians have no reason to sleep soundly.” G. Michaelides

In the early hours of Saturday morning, we headed to the Eurobank bank at the junction of El.Venizelos and Iasonos streets, where 2 ATM machines were broken and then an attack was carried out on a police car and a vehicle of the OPKE, who arrived at the scene, by throwing empty bottles and stones. The above actions were taken as an act of vigilante action. We have no illusions, nor do we expect any vindication from the judicial organs of the state apparatus in the upcoming trial of the cops-torturers of Vassilis Maggos. It is time for fear to change sides. With this act we call for a generalization of the confrontational actions of the anti-authoritarian space in memory of Vassilis. We carve our confrontational path alone against rulers and their cover-up.

Genoa, Italy: Nat, Beppe and Robert also acquitted at appeal trial for Operation Prometeo

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

Genoa Jan. 23 – Nat, Beppe and Robert were also acquitted on appeal for not having committed the act. The three comrades were arrested by Ros carabinieri in 2019 as part of Operation Prometeo, as they were believed to be the authors of package bombs sent in 2016 to two Turin magistrates and the director of the Dap in Rome.

The charge for Giuseppe Bruna, Robert Firozpoor and Natascia Savio was bombing.

According to the indictment, the three comrades allegedly sent the explosive packages, which were intercepted before they were delivered, to Turin prosecutors Roberto Maria Sparagna and Antonio Rinaudo, who were engaged in investigations into the anarchists, and to Santi Consolo, then director of the Dap in Rome. According to investigators, the comrades had met in Genoa and planned and assembled the parcel bombs. Framing them would be one of the envelopes on which a price tag from a Chinese goods store in the Ligurian capital had been left.

This morning outside the courthouse some 20 comrades organized a gathering in solidarity with Nat, Beppe and Robert and Alfredo Cospito. A number of banners were then hung in San Lorenzo Square.

Genoa, Italy: Statement read during the appeal trial for Operation Prometeo in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/24 - 2023/01/24 by darknights

We receive and publish:

At the opening of what will likely be the last appeal hearing in the Prometo trial, the defendants present took the floor at the opening of the hearing to read the following brief statement:

“Genoa, January 23, 2023, The question of solidarity, for us anarchists, is fundamental, diriment. That is why today we cannot refrain from taking the floor in this courtroom, knowing that there is someone who is being prevented from doing so. Alfredo Cospito is today on his ninety-sixth day of hunger strike in the prison of Bancali, Sassari, to protest, in the only way he is allowed in the tomb for the living in which he is locked up, against the repressive abominations of 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. The institutions are all demonstrating their democratic ferocity by entrenching themselves in a muteness that reeks of retaliation and ineptitude. If this, then, is claimed to be a courtroom, no man or woman of conscience should sit idly by, aware that the hands, for Alfredo, are about to stop on the last hour, minute, second, in a prison of this torture-smelling state. A cry should rise where justice was sovereign, real, possible:
AGAINST 41 BIS
AGAINST HOSTILE LIFE IMPRISONMENT
FOR THE IMMEDIATE DOWNGRADING OF ALFREDO COSPITO, FREEDOM.”

Nat, Robert and Beppe

The presiding judge ruled that thirty seconds was too long, and interrupted them after just a few lines. After a brief squabble with the comrade who was reading, in the face of the disinterest that these characters are bringing to bear at all levels of this affair, confirming that a curtain of silence is to be drawn over this story, the fellow defendants and sympathizers decided to leave the courtroom, taking to the streets the story of this morning and the reasons for Alfredo’s protest.

Russia: Radical Resistance 18-19.01.2023

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

A wave of detentions of partisan heroes has just swept across Russia. Three young men aged 17, 18 and 19 were detained in Buryatia. In Mordovia an 18-year-old guerrilla named Artem was detained, in Voronezh a 17-year-old Nikita was detained. For sabotage on the railroad, the young men are awaiting charges of terrorism. But the repression doesn’t stop the partisan resistance.

January 18.

Vladivostok

Partisans set fire to the signaling, centralization and blocking units near Vladivostok. They managed to stop the movement of freight and military echelons in the Primorsky region.

Petersburg .

An unknown guerrilla tried to set on fire the main uniform warehouse of the Leningrad Oblast Federal Guard Service on Zanevsky Prospekt. The guerrilla drilled a hole in the window of the warehouse and poured kerosene on it, but for some reason failed to set it on fire.

January 19

Krasnoyarsk

An unknown guerilla burned down signaling units on the Trans-Siberian Railway, which caused train delays.
