UK: From London to Athens Solidarity to the Political Prisoners Marianna, Dimitra, Dimitris, Hands Off Romanos, Fallen Anarchist Kyriakos Forever Alive

Posted on 2024/11/22 - 2024/11/22 by darknights

SOLIDARITY FROM LONDON

On October 31, anarchist comrade Kyriakos X. is killed by a bomb explosion while handling it in an apartment in Athens. The explosion seriously injures anarchist comrade Marianna M., who, along with other anarchist comrades, faces prosecution under charges of forming and participating in a terrorist organization.

On November 18, comrade Nikos Romanos is also arrested in connection with the same events. Nikos Romanos held his friend and comrade Alexis Grigoropoulos in his arms as he took his final breath on December 6, 2008, assassinated by the bullet of a special state officer.

In the years that followed, the Greek anti-terrorist agency repeatedly targeted Nikos and other anarchists, imprisoning them with fabricated evidence in an effort to suppress the blooming anti-authoritarian social movements. Nikos Romanos spent years as a political prisoner, held hostage by the state, before being released in recent years.

NO ONE ALONE / NO ONE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE

THE REBELLION OF THE EXPLOITED IS NEVER TERRORISM

FROM LONDON TO ATHENS, SOLIDARITY TO NIKOS, MARIANNA, DIMITRA, DIMITRIS AND ALL OTHER PRISONERS OF THE STATE AROUND THE WORLD

FALLEN ANARCHIST KYRIAKOS LIVES FOREVER IN OUR STRUGGLES

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on the NTUA rectorate

Posted on 2024/11/21 - 2024/11/21 by darknights

Power means total denial of freedom. Imposition is the quintessential means used by those who decide to dominate. So we are talking about a world that was built on this fundamental aesthetic choice. This choice of the ruling class calls upon its servants to implement it. The rectorship of NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) is yet another cog in the machine, one of the threads in the institutional fabric of the state, whose ideological role is sterilization, increased productivity, and the creation of an “excellent” specialized worker who only raises their head when it comes to a better career choice. In short, the ideological role of the university in the neoliberal urban state is to present “governance of science” as the only way societies have to organize themselves. The means by which the university fulfills this role is the monopoly on knowledge, or rather the cultivation of the illusion that it indeed monopolizes knowledge.

In reality, the excellence of NTUA lies in master’s programs in collaboration with TERNA, research on military drones, a close collaboration with police for evictions and arrests, targeting, prosecutions, and the imposition of fines on students. The latest chronological reference point, and after failing to achieve their goal with the successive eviction operations in 2023-24, is the issuance of an ultimatum for all occupied spaces on 31/10/2024. The state and social cannibals rush to stifle any attempt to build an alternative to the prevailing social decay by evicting spaces and intensifying repression, thinking they are terrorizing us. But we do not bow our heads, because we know we are right. The early manifestations of this counter-proposal are the squats, and as long as you do not let us build our own reality, we will destroy yours. After all, the goal is not to build on the existing foundations, but on their ruins. However, destruction does not come on its own.

Fire has always been a weapon of society. So we take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the administration building of NTUA in Zografou, on Friday 08/11/2014.

HONOR FOREVER TO THE ANARCHIST FIGHTER KYRIAKOS XYMITIRIS

UK: Twenty three hens liberated in memory of Barry Horne

Posted on 2024/11/13 by darknights

4th November, UK.

received anonymously via email:

“23 years later and we are still thinking of Barry Horne. Those who take action for liberation are never forgotten.

Barry gave his all and fought like hell. If you don’t know about some of the things he was involved in; from fighting to save Rocky the dolphin, to raiding Interfauna, to smashing fancy wine bottles at a vivisectors conference and so much more! You need to go learn some history and get inspired.

We thought of you Barry as we broke our way into a ‘free range’ egg farm and the stench stung our eyes. We thought of all the fire inside you that fueled you to fight so hard for animal liberation, right till your last breath. May that fire burn as bright for all of us and spur us on till we win.

Fuck fur farms, fuck vivisection labs, fuck zoos, fuck oceanariums, fuck your ‘free range’ farms, fuck the hunts, fuck prisons, fuck all cages everywhere!

In his own words “If you don’t act then you condone. If you don’t fight then you don’t win. And if you don’t win then you are responsible for the death and suffering that will go on and on.””

Russia & Ukraine: Radical Resitance 07/10 – 27/10

Posted on 2024/11/13 - 2024/11/13 by darknights

15.10-27.10.24

Moscow region

On October 16, a car belonging to Nikita Klenkov, who had returned from the war in Ukraine a week earlier, was shot at point-blank range in the village of Melenki. The military man died.

Klenkov served in the military unit 43292 – this is the Special Operations Forces Training Center. The leaked geolocation data also revealed that Klenkov ordered food deliveries to the GRU headquarters.

The vigilante waited for the colonel at the entrance to the village of Melenki. He opened fire with a 9 millimeter caliber pistol as soon as he saw the officer’s car, managed to fire at least eight shots, and then fled.

Bryansk Region

On October 22, Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported the murder of Dmitry Golenkov, a pilot of the 52nd heavy bomber aviation regiment of the Russian Air Force. According to Ukrainian intelligence, he was responsible for missile strikes on a shopping center in Kremenchug and a multi-story apartment building in Dnipro in January 2023, which killed 68 civilians.

Intelligence sources said the body of a military officer was found “with multiple head injuries, caused probably by a hammer” on October 20 in the village of Suponevo in the Bryansk region.

Pro-government channels also confirmed Golenkov’s death.

Perm

Late in the evening of October 23, two women threw Molotov cocktails at the United Russia office building in Perm. A fire started. Unfortunately, the arsonists were detained, they turned out to be local residents mother and daughter Natalia and Ekaterina Degtyannikov, born in 1970 and 2004. They came with seven bottles of “Molotov cocktail” and a cylinder – a gas burner to the building of the office of “United Russia” on Plekhanova Street, 12. The daughter started breaking windows, the mother lit the bottles and threw them. They managed to do this twice, after which the older woman’s jacket sleeve caught fire. Then the women, disregarding the shouts of the witnesses, ran away from the building towards the streetcar tracks. The guerrillas were detained the next day.

Missolonghi, Greece: Explosive Attack on Police Interrogation Van by Anarchists

Posted on 2024/11/11 by darknights

Explosive Attack on Police Interrogation Van

The mire of defeatism and misery sucks us in deeper and deeper as we remain passive in the face of repression, terrorism and death sown by States.

The dystopian present is methodically growing, two more people are added to the long list of dead in the police hellholes. 37-year-old Mohammed Kamran Asik, having been transferred to 5 different police stations while he was missing, was eventually found dead at Agios Panteleimonas AT (cop station), in a room without cameras, with strong signs of torture. Mia Harizul, 29, was found hanged at AT Omonia (cop station) in a detention facility without cameras with 11 other detainees present. It is clear that these are murders, with their expected cover-ups by regime snitches at the same time as the government under the auspices of law and order, but also in order to safeguard its vomitic international relations with genocidal States, is forcing its dogs to suppress any kind of resistance. This tactic is proven in practice, when on 7/10 the pro-Palestine march heading to the Israeli embassy is brutally attacked by cops, people are arrested and charged with felonies.

Murders of immigrants, files on activists, threats, beatings of students inside their university, arrests, indictments, torture… These are some of the things we have seen lately.

In the early morning of Friday 11/10, an explosive device was placed in a police interrogation van, with the explosion mainly causing damage to the front of the vehicle. Unfortunately, the response of the fire brigade was immediate and it did not have time to burn to the ground. It is important here to mention the bullying of local uniformed lackeys towards young (when it takes them that is…) under the pretext of standard control. Such situations also command the responsibility that each one has to counterattack.

It is a necessity to live with our heads held high, for the fear to change sides To assert our denial, stubbornly… for everything to come to a head.

A raised fist for those who chose the path of fire, resistance and violent counterattack in the world of the dominant.

Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), France: Spie Batignolle, which works on the A69 and the metro, loses seven trucks

Posted on 2024/11/07 by darknights

~~La Dépêche du Midi~~ / Monday, October 21, 2024

At least seven trucks burned. A fire broke out on the night of Sunday 20 to Monday 21 October at the Spie Batignolles company in Toulouse, chemin de Gabardie in the Gramont district.

Residents heard explosions coming from the premises of the public works company. Firefighters were called around 4 a.m. for a fire involving 7 dump trucks in the parking lot of the Spie Batignolles company and managed to control the flames. At the height of the intervention, 3 fire-fighting vehicles and 17 firefighters were deployed.

On site Monday morning, the smell of burnt material is persistent. Seven charred wrecks are parked side by side. The front facades of these vehicles are completely charred. A member of the management is appalled: “No doubt it is an arson, we do not wish to say more for the moment.” The company Malet-Spie Batignolles is a regular contractor for highway companies, and it is notably involved in the A69 construction site, which has been denounced by environmental activists.

Given the carcasses still in the parking lot, the fire(s) would have been started at the cabins. The rear of the vehicles was less affected by the flames. The arsonists would likely have used an ignition liquid. Did the fire then spread to the other vehicles? Possible. According to our information, the Spie Batignolles site was under video surveillance and two hooded individuals were reportedly seen on the recordings, entering the construction company’s site around 3:20 AM. Before leaving a few minutes later, as the fire began to spread. Continue reading “Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), France: Spie Batignolle, which works on the A69 and the metro, loses seven trucks” →

IN MEMORY OF KEVIN GARRIDO – CALL FOR A BLACK NOVEMBER EN/ES

Posted on 2024/11/03 by darknights

CALL FOR A BLACK NOVEMBER

IN MEMORY OF KEVIN GARRIDO

The anti-authoritarian comrade Kevin Garrido was captured by the Chilean dirty police on November 19, 2015, after placing and detonating an artisanal explosive device at one of the entrances to the San Bernardo gendarmerie school. After his capture, he was also accused of carrying out an explosive attack outside the 12th police station of San Miguel on October 29 of that same year, which was attributed to the International Conspiracy for Revenge – Gerásimos Tsakalos Explosion Cell. During the early hours of November 19, the police also captured comrade Joaquín García Chancks, accusing him of belonging, along with Kevin, to this cell responsible for the attack against the 12th police station.

After a long trial, Kevin was sentenced to 17 years in prison for attacking both police institutions with explosives, and Joaquín García was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the explosive attack and carrying a firearm that he had at the time been recaptured after escaping from house arrest in 2016.

On November 2, 2018, after having lived 3 years of imprisonment as a space of conflict against all types of authority, the comrade Kevin Garrido had a fight with an unworthy and cowardly prisoner who attacked him from behind. Although his injuries were very serious, Kevin did not receive the medical assistance he needed inside the Santiago 1 prison/company and the ambulance took 1 hour and 15 minutes to transfer him to the Barros Luco hospital, where he died after a high-risk intervention.

Comrade Kevin Garrido Present in the anti-authoritarian and insurrectionary memory!

6 years after his cowardly murder, we do not forget the irreducible path that he followed from an early age, until the end of his days.

“On the street – and wherever I find myself – I am a mutinous complicit in everything criminal and in prison I do not cower nor do I have a submissive attitude towards the jailers and any authoritarian bastard who passes through here. I don’t choke on nice speeches or phrases like: “death to all authority”and after a while I became victimized by a few coming blows from the Authority, an authority that I intend to assassinate with my hands. I assume the “consequences” of my actions that never go hand in hand with passivity. Because this is my War, HERE AND NOW.” (Kevin Garrido, February 2016)

Down with all prisons and forms of authority
