Rome, Italy: Claim of the arson attack on five TIM telecommunications company vehicles in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Anna Beniamino, Ivan Alocco and all anarchist prisoners

In the early hours of the night of Monday, January 30, we carried out an incendiary action against TIM. The attack was conducted by breaking into the parking lot of one of its offices and setting fire to 5 vehicles. Tim actively collaborates in social control through the installation of the fiber optic network, cameras and electronic bracelets.

Power and its ramifications are everywhere, and anyone who wants to strike at it is spoiled for choice. Take action today, without waiting for more propitious moments or compromising, just as power rages daily and hourly against our lives, revolt must also be daily and permanent.

Let the fire of denial blaze more and more in the cities with an indomitable force to spread chaos in your world of order and repression.

Let the murderous state and the bosses know that this is only the beginning and more than a threat it is a promise.

Turin, Italy: Incendiary attack on a telecommunications repeater in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end

Posted on 2023/01/31 by darknights

We learn from the media that on the night of January 28, a telecommunications repeater located in Turin on Via Revigliasco (in a hilly area close to the city) was set on fire. According to various media reports, the fire – which occurred around 4:30 a.m. – resulted in the damage of about 2,000 meters of cables, interrupting service not only for some telephone companies but also for other companies, such as Iren (electricity and gas provider), and for some security systems that use the facility.

The inscription ” Out Alfredo Cospito from 41 bis” was left at the site, in reference to the anarchist comrade imprisoned in the Bancali prison, who has been on hunger strike for more than 100 days against the 41 bis regime (in which he has been imprisoned since May 5) and the hostile life sentence (which is likely to be the final sentence for the comrade at the end of the Scripta Manent trial, which has reached its last trial hearings). Currently, other than the writing found by the repressive forces, no claim or communication regarding the attack appears to have been released.

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.

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.

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.

Portland, U$A: Fire to the Earth Destroyers

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

Answering a call for retaliation against the murder of Tortuguita, we burned a large excavator in Portland yesterday night.
Tortuguita died trying to kill a cop in defense of the Weelaunee forest. Never let this be forgotten.
With these flames we honor their bravery. With smoke we send a prayer into the night that the next cop won’t be so lucky.
We attack the same machines that threaten the forest in Atlanta and everything wild.
FIRE TO THE EARTH DESTROYERS
Until every cop is dead and all they defend burnt to ashes.
