Limoges, France: ‘War is not an accident’ Fire at a transformer and a radio repeater in protest against the military-industrial complex and digital coercion

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

7th May

Early Thursday morning, May 7, a relay antenna belonging to the operator Bouygues and a TDF transformer for digital radio broadcasting BFM caught fire south of Limoges, at a place known as “La Croix de l’Arbre.”

This media and telecommunications infrastructure was targeted because it is integral to the military industry and the imposition of digital technology throughout our lives.

For Bouygues, ongoing wars are just another source of profit. Through one of its subsidiaries, INEO Defense, it provides the French army’s communications infrastructure. As for BFM and RMC, their networks help turn us into spectators of the massacres in Palestine, Lebanon, and elsewhere.

War begins with social pacification and our acceptance of the hegemonic narrative disseminated by the media. We won’t dwell on BFM, which is well known for being one of the reactionary mouthpieces for industrial interests. Their narratives also accustom us to our powerlessness and define for us the enemy to be fought, whether internal or external. The war effort we reject is the one that seeks to make us accept social austerity as inevitable.

Yet the plundering and militarization of the world continue to face resistance. As demonstrated by the millions of people who took to the streets in support of Palestine and by all the acts of solidarity. Digital technology is being targeted as one of the pillars in the development of AI-driven remote control in military operations, as Israel is using it on a massive scale against the Palestinian people.

Furthermore, military exercises will be taking place in the region in the coming days. Let us not forget that when the military deploys, it is never merely an exercise but always an operation of psychological warfare designed to acclimate people to their presence and make them accept a state of permanent war.

Let us not remain indifferent.

Hamburg, Germany: Against the police and the world that needs them!

Posted on 2026/06/24 - 2026/06/24 by darknights

On the night of May 17–18, we smashed the windows with hammers at the “Police IT Cooperation” office at Notke Straße 13–15 in Hamburg.

The “Police IT Cooperation” is an alliance of five state police forces that jointly develop software for day-to-day police work and provide interfaces to national and European databases.
Other state police forces, the Federal Police, and the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) also use the software.
This involves the digital, AI-supported expansion of the police control and surveillance system to enforce the prevailing order, which results, among other things, in deportations, forced evictions, and repression being carried out violently.

Conspire for a world where everything is different and everything is possible!
Against the police and their violence!
Love and strength to those in the underground and in prison!

Uruguay: Claim of responsibility for an incendiary attack on a mobile phone antenna

Posted on 2026/06/19 - 2026/06/19 by darknights

The Luddite fire once again lit up the night of public complacency and the monotony of our lives as consumers. On the night of the 29th, in the early hours of 30 May, we set fire to a mobile phone antenna and all its shitty radio-magnetic gadgets. This took place on the coast of Canelones, territory controlled by the murderous and repressive Uruguayan state. In memory of our comrade Punky Mauri, who fell 17 years ago, and of all the fighters murdered and imprisoned by capital.

In these times of techno-fascism and online activism, we remember that the material foundations of this system—which controls life through technology and algorithms—can be reduced to ashes. Greetings to the savages!!!!!!!!!!!

Ned and friends.

Silence!!!…the antennas are burning.

Bristol, UK: HSBC Bank attacked in solidarity with imprisoned anarchists in Indonesia EN/IN

Posted on 2026/06/16 - 2026/06/19 by darknights

We receive and transmit:

COMMUNIQUE

On 10th June in Kingswood, Bristol, HSBC Bank was attacked and the windows were smashed. HSBC Bank are a large investor and financial bloodsucker operating in Indonesia, where foreign multinationals and domestic businesses allied to the Prabowo regime loot and destroy the ecology and people. It is the banks, capitalists and elites that are responsible for the misery in our lives and it doesn’t matter that our imprisoned comrades Adit, Naufal, Komar, Mpe and Dena are far away. Through destruction of a shared target, in this case a Bank with investments in the Indonesian state, we are making our solidarity real. Form affinity groups and go on the attack.

International solidarity to all anarchist prisoners for June 11th and also to those jailed for the actions against Elbit in Filton.

It is the State and Capital that is Terrorist.

Free Alfredo Cospito.

Long live Anarchy.

Athens, Greece: Molotov cocktail attack on the Evelpidon Courts – Solidarity with those facing charges over the bank expropriation in Lower Tithorea

Posted on 2026/06/06 - 2026/06/06 by darknights

“The future is the mask of fear. The courage and strength have no future for the simple fact that they themselves are the future that revolts on the past and destroys it.

“The purity of life proceeds only with the nobility of courage that is the philosophy of action.”

I observed: “The purity of this your life seems to me to border on crime!”

He said: “Crime is the supreme synthesis of liberty and life.”

– Excerpt from The Expropriator

by Renzo Novatore

On the morning of 11th May, a group of comrades raided a bank in lower Tithorea. A few hours later, eight comrades were arrested; after their initial hearings, six were remanded in custody and transferred to different prisons.

How can anyone feel human while denying the fundamental human trait of taking initiative rather than waiting to be given something? Especially when we’re talking about reclaiming what is rightfully ours. How can anyone accept the existing system when it inflicts violence upon us every day?

With the dark reality of bank seizures, with the cops who use legitimate force and fabricate trumped-up charges, the sleazy, snitchy journalists who sling mud at our comrades, and finally the rotten judicial system that sends revolutionaries to the prison cells of democracy.

In such circumstances, acts of resistance are necessary to reclaim our breath and foster a climate of insurrection. They are not criminalized.

With these thoughts in mind, we chose the evening hours of Monday, 25th May, to attack the Evelpidon courts with molotov cocktails. This incident was completely hushed up by the Athens Police Headquarters (GADA) and was not reported in any media outlet, a pattern that has been repeated with attacks on these specific courts in the past. This action was carried out with the aim of serving as a first, minimal—a basic—gesture of solidarity with the 8 anarchist comrades on trial.

In a variation on *Nil Luce Obscurius**, we might say that sometimes there is nothing brighter than darkness—which springs from the depths of our raw liberating impulses. So let us make room for instinctive spontaneity. In this era of reformist lukewarmness, “easy” words just as easily erase subversive imagination. This is something we must realize and reflect upon.

We issue a call to action in every direction, using diverse and inventive ways to fight for life. By expressing the struggle uniquely, through the individuality of the self, each of us ceases to be a daily prisoner of current events in the metropolis. By making room for their individuality, the subject also frames collective processes more fruitfully. Far from the numbing and blunting of our sharpness, let us bring our concern to the doorstep of every authority.

STEP BACK SNITCHES—solidarity isn’t just about slogans… it will shake you to your core. As long as systems of oppression exist, resistance will take root.

* Nil Luce Obscurius, is a Latin phrase that translates to “nothing is darker” or “nothing is more obscure.” It is often used to express the idea that something is particularly unclear or difficult to understand.

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on Vasilis Kapernaros’ law office – Direct Action Cells

Posted on 2026/04/23 - 2026/04/23 by darknights

The Direct Action Cells claim responsibility for the incendiary attack on the office of far-right lawyer and failed politician Vasilis Kapernaros in the Kypseli neighborhood in the early hours of April 2. Just as we did the last time we attacked a collaborator in the crimes of Tempi (the Vozenberg residence, February 2025), so now we name the cell that carried out the attack after the armed urban guerrilla Kyriakos Xymiteris. We call upon all fighting revolutionary forces. Every comrade who devises subversive plans and puts them into action through dynamic acts, to take up the torch and honor the memory of our comrade as he deserves. To set fire to the quiet nights of the metropolis. To take the risks that are necessary so that we can show through our actions that there is no better way to remember and honour our dead than by intensifying the war against the rot of the system and its dominant culture.

The reason for our group’s attack on the office of that wretched individual known as Kapernaros is his active involvement in covering up the crime at Tempi, as he is the lawyer for Interstar Security, the company responsible for security and video surveillance of the railway network. The company that concealed for years the videos of the trains that collided that day and, along with other parties, contributed to the concealment of critical evidence regarding the crime. At this moment, the company’s legal representative and two ΟΣΕ executives are on trial for failing to hand over the videos of the freight train being loaded at the station in Thessaloniki. In this courtroom, as relatives of the victims report, Kapernaros bursts in with an escort, taunts and bullies people, culminating in a vile attack on former hunger striker Panos Routsis.

To put it more plainly, we’re dealing with a servile lackey. A few months ago, and “coincidentally” immediately after Kyriakos Mitsotakis’s interview—in which he wondered if there were any videos from the tunnels showing the freight train —the eager scoundrel appeared, donning the guise of a saviour lawyer, with three “forgotten” videos, which he even shared with an old acquaintance of ours, Aris Portosalte. He therefore chose to bear the burden of responsibility for distorting the facts and burying the truth of the Tempi crime, placing himself in the spotlight of public criticism—as such megalomaniacal figures always desire. The criticism we have consistently chosen is that of fire and revolutionary praxis.

Kapernaros, the son of a cop, grew up in post-Civil War Greece in an environment that can be summed up by the slogan “Fatherland – Religion – Family.” He, too, is just another two-bit patriot like those who donned hoods and betrayed resistance fighters to the occupiers, later fighting them in the mountains at the behest of their new masters as “bandits.” Like those who, exploiting the people’s hunger and hardships, amassed fortunes like black marketeers. All these vermin presented themselves to the post-civil war state as good Christians and patriots, while they were the greatest scum in the history of this land.

Pisa, Italy: “Every modern war begins in a laboratory”. Incendiary attack on the technology hub of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies (8 April 2026)

Posted on 2026/04/23 - 2026/04/23 by darknights

Every modern war begins in a laboratory

During the night of 7–8 April, six incendiary devices were placed on four heavy goods vehicles and on the control units of two cranes within the construction site for a technology hub at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies. It is impossible to ascertain the actual damage caused given the media’s complete silence on the matter; certainly, damage was done, as columns of smoke could be seen rising in the distance. Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and for all prisoners of the social war.

Athens, Greece: Arson Attack on the Home of the Snitch Dean of NTUA and a Riot Police Officer

Posted on 2026/04/09 - 2026/04/09 by darknights

National Gendarmerie of Athens

In the early hours of March 25, we attacked with an incendiary device the building where the dean of the NTUA, Panagiotis Tsanakas, as well as a riot police officer, live in the area of Zografou. Our research on the chief snitch of the academic rabble of the Polytechnic brought us in front of a simultaneously special but poetically explainable coincidence. A snitch and a cop work and live together, a touching image to say the least.

Tsanakas is not simply the tsuchiki [contemptuous address for a person we consider vile and insignificant] of Hadjigeorgiou (rector of NTUA) but as the culmination of his “academic” work he has shamelessly handed over to the police a student who was writing slogans in favor of the Palestinian people on the school grounds. However, he has a deeper and more essential role in Hadjigeorgiou’s police-held monstrosity, of a rectory that allows/imposes the daily presence and the scolding of cops on campus in full compliance and obedience to the dictates of the ND doctrine for absolute control and essentially the necrosis of student and subversive struggles on university campuses. A rectorate that we have lost count of how many times has ordered the invasion of the repressive forces on the university grounds, with a particular “sensitivity” when it comes to those in solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.

Of course, Hadjigeorgiou has an additional reason to fervently desire the presence of cops on the NTUA grounds beyond serving the government’s planning. He uses them as doormen and henchmen who guard the “shop” that he has built in future collaborations on NATO programs and Jewish arms industries. Just the day after the attack, we read that a way has been found through opaque procedures and individual opinions of legal advisors to declare unconstitutional (!) Article 2 of the Funding and Management Guide of the Special Research Funds Account (ELKE), which concerns the NTUA and explicitly states “…The history of the NTUA is connected to struggles for freedom and peace. For this reason, the NTUA is not allowed to conduct or participate in research for war purposes of any kind, with the exception of research for the country’s defense needs, and no research funded by international military coalitions is undertaken.” Let us recall that the above constitutes a conquest of the anti-war movement of the era of the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO forces in 1999. Of course, as early as October 2023, in the midst of the genocide of the Palestinians of Gaza by the Israeli army, with the signatures of Hadjigeorgiou and Dean Panagiotis Tsanakas, a memorandum of cooperation between the NTUA and Intracom Telecom was signed. It is therefore obvious (unless you are a lobotomist) that the results of the university’s research in this collaboration are channeled to 2 subsidiaries of Intracom Telecom, Intracom Defense and Intracom Aviator, which actively cooperate with the Israeli army and its genocidal activities in the wider Middle East.

Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

Posted on 2026/04/09 by darknights

Claim of Responsibility for Arson Attack on a Cop’s House by Anarchist Strike Group “Memory and Anger”

In March, none of us shall die (March 2010, Daphne – Lambros Fountas, an anarchist guerrilla who fell in a clash with cops) – (March 2026, outskirts of Rome – Sara Ardizone and Sandro Mercoliano, anarchist comrades who were killed by an explosion)

In October, none of us shall die (October 2024, Ampelokipi, Athens – Kyriakos Xymitiris, anarchist guerrilla killed by explosion)

In May, none of us shall die (May 2025, Thessaloniki – Snizanna Paraskevaidou, fell in an explosion during an attack on a bank)

And the story continues like this. Through the battles of our own people, simple, everyday. Like Lambros, like Kyriakos, like Snizanna, like Sandro and Sara and so many more people who lost their lives in direct action.With determination, with our own rage and memory, we took to the streets at dawn on March 10, the date that the anarchist revolutionary guerrilla Lambros Fountas fell fighting under fire from cops in Daphne 16 years ago and we attacked a cop’s house in Kaisariani with an incendiary device.

We have every reason to target the state’s scumbags who act as security guards for the bosses and the ruling elite. With this move, we want to remind them and all cops that we will not leave their activity unpunished. They are the ones who target fighters, violently attack demonstrators, torture and murder people in cop stations, at borders, as well as people from the impoverished margins and our own class. Let them remember and know that we can also locate them in their homes, in their neighbourhoods, in their jobs and that they are not really safe anywhere in making this choice to serve the system.

It is a fact that the state invests in order and security by strengthening policing at every level of central government. In this way, it prevents any resistance from below on behalf of capital as much as possible, while at the same time strengthening military-police capital through funds for security forces and armament programs. This is a phenomenon that is parallel in relation to the international geopolitical situation. As the war intensifies abroad (Middle East, Ukraine) and the Greek state participates in it through the Greek-Israeli-American alliance, NATO and the EU, so does the repression at home. Cops of all kinds are positioned to control our lives. The same applies to every field of public space from universities to neighbourhoods, squares and other natural sites (see Exarchia Square, Strefi Hill).

So, let fear change sides then. No matter how much the complicit and regime-based mass deception media cover you up by hiding our actions, we know the anxiety that these visits to your homes cause you. If you don’t pack up, we will come again. Our lives are not expendable. We want to show that you are the terrorists and dangerous to the public interest, not us who return the minimum percentage of your share of violence.

We express our solidarity with the Palestinian people who are fighting for their lives. Let us intensify the anti-war action against the war crimes occurring in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran by the Western bloc. We will not become meat for the murderers’ cannons because the local leaders, with Mitsotakis and Dendias as the first and best, rushed to ally with Netanyahu and Trump.

The choice to connect these contents through action on the day of remembrance of the anarchist guerrilla Lambros Fountas constitutes a connecting link between memory, action and continuity.

Schönerlinde/Wandlitz, Germany: Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

Asphalt plant of VINCI/EUROVIA on Fire – for a black spring, for the prisoners in the Ampelokipoi case

A circular economy of death and destruction

Faced with climate crisis, extractivist devastation, and imperialist aggression, a burning asphalt mixing plant owned by one of the world’s largest construction and infrastructure companies actually speaks for itself. Nevertheless, we would like to say a few words about our motives and the company that has been attacked. Because VINCI/EUROVIA is much more than just a producer of asphalt and concrete. This company embodies pretty much everything we despise and that makes this world a place full of oppression, suffering, and misery: highways, airports, dams, (deportation-) prisons, nuclear facilities, military equipment, oil and gas pipelines, mining, and much more…

Everyone who wants to know already knows – the biosphere is suffocating under the gray burden of civilization, and in the near future, many regions of the planet will be uninhabitable as a result of our imperial ways of life and economic practices. Battles over living areas and resources on an unseen scale seem unavoidable, and the current escalation of military conflicts and the relentless war against migrants on the streets of US cities or at the EU’s external borders are already grim signs of what this will look like. Since long we running out of time. The late capitalist world system is in the midst of profound upheaval, and war is becoming the new normal, while the remaining natural world serves only as a source of raw materials to be plundered before others do.

Companies such as VINCI are benefiting across the entire spectrum from these developments. By constructing nuclear reactors, oil pipelines, and gas terminals (such as the one in Brunsbüttel), the company understands how to secure the future of fossil fuel dinosaurs while simultaneously profiting from the illusion of green energy through huge wind farms and hydroelectric power plants. With its motorway and road network spanning several thousand kilometers and over 70 airports in 14 different countries, built and operated by VINCI, the company is also a major pillar of the global transport infrastructure, fueling, inch by inch, a parasitic system that knows only one direction – and that’s leading straight into ecological collapse. Land grabbing, wars, and genocide are inextricably woven into this system and have enabled the triumph of capitalism, whereby our “wealth” and Western dominance are undoubtedly a product of this deadly (colonial) history. However, in the international scramble for power, influence, and resources, that Western dominance must increasingly assert itself against other players, which leads once again to senseless bloodshed, while creating a good mood in the management suites of the arms industry. ReArm Europe is the battle cry from Brussels to prevail in this conflict, and VINCI is also playing a major role in this front of rearmament and militarization. Therefor the company recently acquired Wärtsilä SAM Electronics, which maintains several German Navy shipyards or provides infrastructure services for dozens of British Army facilities. Wars and environmental destruction, which have always gone hand in hand with the expansion of capitalist exploitation, are forcing more and more people to leave their homes, and never before have so many people been displaced worldwide as today. The „dispensable“ masses of people from the global south are being fought with all severity, and their escape routes have long since turned into mass graves with countless deaths. For those who nevertheless manage to make it all the way here, it is not empathy and compassion that await them, but humiliation, racism, and repression. All of these characteristics, which have shaped the public debate on migration in almost all political camps for years, and thus significantly promote (neo-)fascist tendencies. And here comes full circle. Because even the suffering of refugees can be exploited for profit, and VINCI benefits from the construction of deportation centers and border controls under Europe’s rigorous border regime.
