Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the attack on a police patrol at Strefi Hill on 15/6

Posted on 2023/06/27 by darknights

We are at a juncture where, in the space of just a few months, we have counted two mass state capitalist murders, in Tempe and Pylos, which demonstrate in the most deafening way the very essence of capitalism. We are under no illusions and we know very well that in the face of the deadlock and bankruptcy of the state-capitalist system, the only answer that the state and capital have to propose is, on the one hand, to create new hotbeds of imperialist conflict and intervention in the capitalist regions, thus creating new hundreds of dead, both on the battlefields and in the debris left behind by war and the overexploitation of resources, and on the heavily guarded border lines, which have resulted in the Mediterranean becoming a vast graveyard of refugees.

On the other hand, in the capitalist centres of the West, capital and the state are looking for new areas of profitability through further class devaluation, impoverishment and death politics, which in turn create modern metropolitan guarded sweatshops in which we are forced to survive in conditions of misery with meagre wages as a result of the overvaluation of our labour power, with one worker murder after another, with the coverage of our basic material needs becoming more and more difficult, and the deterioration of the structures that cover basic social needs of transportation, health, education, etc. and with a state that is further entrenching itself by militarising its metropolises and increasing military budgets.

So at the same time as the state is generously spreading death, oppression, exploitation and destruction, it is inviting us to participate in the carnival of elections to choose which party will “save” us and which party will provide the best opposition. It invites us to entrust the management of our lives to saviours great and small, and once we have chosen we can proudly return to normality, where people are murdered at the borders, in police stations, on the streets, in the workers’ sweatshops. We can return to the normalcy of “passports” and starvation wages, of snitch journalists and exhausted and unpaid overtime, of evictions and home foreclosures. The normalcy we legitimize by voting consent and submission. In the face of their normalcy there is disobedience, resistance and rebellion. Against the vote of delegation there is collectivity, self-organization, faith in our strengths and in the potential of all the oppressed and exploited. The belief that this world will be changed by us, through collective struggles we will stand on our feet and attack the state, capital and their praetorian guard.

Athens, Greece: For the attack and the damage to Pharaoh in Solomou, Exarchia by Comrades, Anarchists

Posted on 2023/06/27 by darknights

As the struggle between the classes becomes wilder and the ideologies of development pave the way for the plundering of human and natural resources, turning the seas, the trees, the air we breathe into fields of profit at any cost, the upper classes become stronger and increase their wealth. As long as the lives of those from below are nothing but numbers to be managed and percentages of losses, such as the hundreds of dead displaced off Pylos, the passengers and workers on the trains of Tempi and the murdered workers in the sweatshops of the big bosses, capital is contentedly entrenching itself and preparing for new rounds of accumulation, deepening the terms of the devaluation of our lives.

The proclamation of the centre of Athens and especially of Exarchia, as a new field of profitability to which small and big businessmen are turning, is well known. Tourism and consumption have turned every hole into an opportunity. Numerous apartments are being converted into Airbnb, pushing up the remaining rents even higher, displacing poorer residents. Every public and open space, from the Strefi and Exarchia Square, to the May Day Square and the Museum, has been fenced off and included in plans to redevelop it and turn it into a supervised space for tourists and consumers. The police terrorism, the evacuation of squats and political spaces, the bullying and harassment of passers-by and residents by the ELAS men, the sealing of the Polytechnic, the increasing placement of cameras, are central repressive moves and reveal the political sign of this aggressive epicism.

In other words, for the business of white and black capital to flourish in our regions, the resistance that has taken root over the years must be silenced. The blockades of those from above that have been happening over time in the region, with the intolerable presence of politicians, exploiters and bigwigs of all kinds, must stop. To stop the precepts of solidarity among the oppressed, self-organization and opposition to the skinners of our lives and dreams.

But what they all forget is that these neighborhoods are still ours. That their well-polished storefronts can come crashing down on their heads with a bang, no matter how well they are guarded by their all manner of cops. Our small contribution to this reminder was our recent trip to Pharaoh’s on Solomou. On Friday 9 June, in broad daylight and under the nose of the anchored forces of repression at arm’s length, we interfered with the restaurant, damaging its interior and destroying their cellar of very expensive wines.

This shop, borrowing its concept from various other examples in western metropolises, jumped on the chariot of gentrification, selling alternativeism in an expensive wrapper. Pharaoh’s four entrepreneurs, Maidan columnists, TV chefs, troubadour foodies and others, gave rise to the arrival of socialites of all kinds in the area. Amidst the homeless and pissed-up sidewalks, with their expensive cars often guarded by their inflatable escorts, mob bosses, businessmen, and half the government’s cabinet have dined at this establishment. We should note here, of course, that Mitsotakis’ recent visit to this place was not as carefree as he expected, thanks to some angry residents. The clientele of this shop, therefore, validates by their presence the predestined targeting of the rotten world they represent. The opening of the field of profitability of local and foreign capital around the axis of Patision and the repression of anyone who resists it.

The war they have declared against us is sharpening and so must our struggles. Through dynamic responses and persistence, we can impose significant costs on all these would-be entrepreneurs, raising mounds to the touristization of everything and the conversion of our neighborhoods into commodities.

So that ministers, prime ministers, mayors and greasy mafiosi have no illusions that they will dine undisturbed in our parts.

To put smaller and larger cracks in their well-polished windows.

To move from questioning to conflict.

Communique Claim Action: Conspiracy from Unit Nemesis (Response to false claim in Jakarta) – ATMs destroyed – Video

Posted on 2023/06/24 by darknights

“Above all one thing must be clear, one is only part of the FAI-FRI in the moment of the action, then each one returns to their life as anarchist, nihilist, individualist, to their own projects and rebel or revolutionary perspectives with all their adjuncts of assemblies, coordinations, affinity nuclei, occupations, communes, struggles in the territory and so on and so forth.”[¹]
Alfredo Cospito

After hundreds of nights spent, after being in a sea of individual adventures, we returned to our basement to continue the urban guerrilla warfare by enabling all methods of action, even though our footsteps were previously heavy enough to make the consistency of ouraggressiveness towards social relations overlaid by civilized moral societies and hierarchies. By a civilized moral society and the odious hierarchy and authority of the rulers and the bourgeoisie of the financiers! We will still attack as we are able to do at any time and anywhere! We are a threat to authoritarians and bourgeois financiers who love the monster of democracy for its profit!

On Monday June 12, 2023 at 02:56 AM we vandalized a Bank Negara Indonesia ATM located in front of Sekip Ujung Market, Jl. Amphibi, Palembang City, South Sumatra Province. And an act of vandalism from our conspirators on Wednesday June 21, 2023 at 00:30 AM in the morning at the Bank Tabungan Negara ATM located on Jl. Bibis Bunder, Gesikan, Krian, Krian District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java and at 00:59 AM WIB at the Bank Negara Indonesia ATM on Jl. Raya Kalijaten, Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java.

We did this action for a critique where we found a report that we found a communique claiming fake actions in the names of the Unit Nemesis FAI-IRF.[²] Continue reading “Communique Claim Action: Conspiracy from Unit Nemesis (Response to false claim in Jakarta) – ATMs destroyed – Video” →

[EN/ES/PT] Porto Alegre, Brazil: Barricade against the Temporary Framework, ten years after June 2013

Posted on 2023/06/16 by darknights

At nightfall on June 13, choosing the date in memory of the historic protests of 2013, we set up a barricade in the center of the city of Porto Alegre, one block away from the Three Powers Plaza (Government Palace, Legislative Assembly and Palace of Justice). But it was not simply an act of memory, we also responded to the call for the struggle of the indigenous people against the Temporary Framework (1). The Colonial usurpation is a reality that affects our daily lives and we need to fight it.

Aware of the war that domination (corporations, agribusiness, political parties and religious brainwashing) has declared on us, which is confirmed every hour through the genocide of peoples, the devastation of the earth and the cult of money, it is insufficient for us to assume the role of situational analysts. Massive information, within everyone’s reach, makes it clear that it is not for lack of data that some choose, as a way of life that some choose, as a way of life, devastation, aggression, genocide, or that they choose to collaborate with those who carry out all this. Thus, the word alone is not enough to combat so many attacks on life.

Few are the victories, that in these lands we can collectively celebrate, the 2013 protests were precisely one of those rare victories that was achieved in the streets, and that was given by the force of violent action, not by the meek parade that the parliamentary leftists desire and propose, nor by the acts of patriotic submission that the right-wingers mentally affected by the hallucination of the red threat perform.

It was chaos, disorder, leaderless vandalism, and the lucid vision of the rejection of impositions, segregations and oppressions, which bent the arm of power. And all the politicians, be they of the left or right, know, with fear, that this is the force that overthrows any tyranny. Some people, collectives and individuals also know this, but we know it with joy and with the search to expand the revolt.

We send, with the heat of this barricade, a complicit gesture to all those who are in struggle against the Temporary Framework, against the legalization of the plundering of lands from indigenous people, making combative blockades as the Mbya Guarani Community of Jaraguá in Sao Paulo.

And may the heat of this barricade also warm the hearts of our anarchist comrades in prison: from Chile to Greece, from Italy to Russia: Alfredo Cóspito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Gabriel Pombo da Silva, Claudio Lavazza, Pola Roupa, Nikos Maziottis, Toby Shone, Boris, Ivan Aloucco, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquin Garcia.

Text of the pamphlet that flew on the barricade:

We need to be aware that 1988 is just the date that marks a new cycle of exploitations and is not the Time Frame of the history of any people.

Already 2013, is the date that teaches us that fighting does not mean begging for attention from the institutions.

Because all violent action is justified by centuries of domination, our proposal is simple: Attack what attacks us.

(1) Bill of the Brazilian Parliament that proposes that the recognition of indigenous territories be demarcated by the presence of communities in 1988, the year of the beginning of the Political Constitution of the Brazilian State in force, omitting the processes of invasion, colonization and expulsion that took place since the XVI century against the indigenous people, who had to abandon their territories and dislocate countless times. This bill, which is currently being voted on, also proposes to legalize a series of exploitations on these lands.

Porto Alegre: Barricada contra el Marco Temporal, a diez años de Junio de 2013

Al caer de la noche del 13 de junio, escogiendo la fecha en memoria de las protestas históricas de 2013, armamos una barricada en el centro de la ciudad de Porto Alegre, a una cuadra de la Plaza de los Tres Poderes (Palacio de Gobierno, Asamblea Legislativa y Palacio de Justicia). Pero no fue simplemente un acto de memoria, también respondemos al llamado a la lucha de los pueblos nativos contra el Marco Temporal (1). La usurpación colonial es una realidad que afecta nuestro día a día e necesitamos combatirla.

Conscientes de la guerra que la dominación (empresas, agro negocio, partido políticos e lava cerebros religiosos) nos ha declarado, la que se confirma a cada hora mediante el genocidio de los pueblos, la devastación de la tierra y el culto al dinero, nos resulta insuficiente asumir el rol de analistas de coyuntura. La información masiva, al alcance de todos, deja en evidencia que no es por falta de datos que algunos escogen, como forma de vida, la devastación, la agresión, el genocidio, o que escogen colaborar con quien lleva adelante todo eso. Así, la palabra sola no es suficiente para combatir tanto ataque a la
vida.

Pocas son las victorias, que en estas tierras podemos celebrar colectivamente, las protestas de 2013 fueron precisamente una de esas escasas victorias que se consiguió en las calles, y que se dio por la fuerza de la acción violenta, no por el desfile manso que desean y proponen las izquierdas parlamentaristas, ni por los actos de sumisión patriótica que realizan las derechas mentalmente afectadas por la alucinación de la amenaza roja.

Fueron el caos, el desorden, el vandalismo sin líderes, y la visión lúcida del rechazo a las imposiciones, segregaciones y opresiones, las que doblaron el brazo al poder. E todos los políticos, sean estos de izquierda o derecha, saben, con miedo, que esa es la fuerza que derrumba cualquier tiranía. Algunos pueblos, colectivos e individualidades también sabemos eso pero lo sabemos con alegría y con la búsqueda de expandir la revuelta.

Mandamos, con el calor de esta barricada, un gesto cómplice a todos quienes están en lucha contra el Marco Temporal, contra la legalización del saqueo de tierras a los pueblos nativos, haciendo bloqueos combativos como la Comunidad Mbya Guaraní de Jaraguá en Sao Paulo.

Y que el calor de esta barricada caliente también el corazón de nuestros compañeros anarquistas en prisión: De Chile a Grecia, de Italia a Rusia: Alfredo Cóspito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Gabriel Pombo da Silva, Claudio Lavazza, Pola Roupa, Nikos Maziottis, Toby Shone, Boris, Ivan Aloucco, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquín García.

Texto del Panfleto que voló en la barricada:

Necesitamos ser consciente de que 1988 es apenas la fecha que marca un nuevo ciclo de explotaciones y no es el Marco Temporal de la historia de ningún pueblo.

Ya el 2013, es la fecha que nos enseña que luchar no significa mendigar la atención de las instituciones.

Porque toda acción violenta está justificada por siglos de dominación, nuestra propuesta es simplemente: Atacar lo que nos ataca.

Porto Alegre: Barricada e panfletos contra o Marco Temporal, a dez anos de junho de 2013.

No cair da noite do 13 de junho, elegendo a data em memória dos históricos protestos de 2013, armamos uma barricada no centro da cidade de Porto Alegre, a uma quadra da Praça dos Três Poderes (Palácio do Governo do Estado, Assembléia Legislativa e o Palácio da Justiça). Mas não foi apenas um ato de memória, também respondemos ao chamado de luta dos povos nativos contra o Marco Temporal. A usurpação colonial é uma realidade que afeta nosso dia-a-dia e precisamos combatê-la.

Cientes da Guerra que a dominação (empresas, agronegócio, partidos políticos e lava cérebros religiosos) tem nos declarado, o que se confirma a cada hora no genocídio dos povos, na devastação da terra e na devoção ao dinheiro, nos resulta insuficiente assumir o papel de analistas da conjuntura. A massiva informação ao alcance de todos evidencia que não é por falta de informação que alguns elegem como forma de vida a devastação, a agressão, o genocídio, ou a colaboração com quem faz isso tudo. Assim, somente a palavra não basta para combater tanto ataque à vida.

Poucas são as vitórias que podemos celebrar coletivamente, 2013 foi uma vitória nas ruas, que se deu pela força da ação violenta e não pelo desfile manso que desejam as esquerdas parlamentares, nem pelos atos de submissão patriótica que fazem as direitas, mentalmente afetadas pela alucinação da ameaça vermelha.

Foi o caos, a baderna, o vandalismo sem lideranças, com a lúcida visão do rechaço às imposições, segregações e opressões, as que dobraram o braço do poder. E todos os políticos, sejam de direita ou esquerda, sabem, com medo, que essa é a força que derruba qualquer tirania. Alguns povos, coletivos e individualidades também sabemos disso, mas com alegria e procura de expansão da revolta.

Mandamos um aceno com o calor desta barricada a todos que estão em luta contra o Marco Temporal, contra a legalização do saque das terras dos povos nativos, realizando bloqueios combativos como o da Comunidade Guarani de Jaraguá em São Paulo.

Finland: Incendiary attack against Saga Furs

Posted on 2023/06/10 by darknights

Receive and transmit:

Our lives and environments are under a constant attack, because of this we have no other way than to defend ourselves by attacking against the forces that destroy us.

On Thursday 1.6. before dawn we cut a hole in the fence of Saga Furs in Vantaa, Finland and made an incendiary attack against their premises.

Saga Furs has no justification for existing. As a company they make profits for their rich owners and cause monstrous suffering to animals produced for the fur industry. This will not end by asking or hoping.

Until Saga Furs is fertilizer for our gardens.

Incendiary outbreak at Liceo de Aplicación in memory of Mauricio Morales

On Monday, May 22, a rally was held in the vicinity of the Liceo de Aplicación leading to barricades and confrontations with Molotov cocktails against the presence of the Carabineros (COP) in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales who died in combat when he detonated in advance the explosive device he was trying to install in the Gendarmerie School in 2009.

Banners and leaflets were read: “May 22nd, day of chaos”, “Before sleeping I embrace kaos. For a May as black as gunpowder. Mauricio Morales”, ” There are still backpacks like Punky Mauri’s”, “Mauricio Morales present, let anarchy live”, “14 years after your departure, you are still alive in our anarchist hearts and souls.”

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attack on COSMOTE van in solidarity with Giannis Michailidis & anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2023/06/04 - 2023/06/04 by darknights

VICTORY IN THE HUNGER STRIKE OF GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Once again dystopia is dangerously close to us. The state is constantly inventing new ways to undermine more and more our living conditions. Labour rights are now a thing of the past as partial employment contracts, the daily dismissal of trade unionists, often fatal work accidents, wage cuts, and the repayment or non-payment of bonuses under extortionate conditions are the status quo. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly shamelessly obvious how expendable our lives are to the state apparatus. The 57 murders in Tempe, the daily deportations and repatriations of migrant women on equally murderous terms, and the more ‘indirect’ method of the state’s death policy by raising the prices of everyday products, electricity and gas, as well as rents. Of course, even if you have to pay for all this, no one can guarantee that the next day you will still have a house to live in, since there is no longer any protection of the first home and the cops and prosecutors may appear one day in your living room and literally throw you out on the street within a few hours with all the things you have managed to collect.

To enable this condition to be established, a lot of money was spent on hiring cops from every service and buying official vehicles, placing them in ‘key’ places like squares, universities, hills and playgrounds. Apart from their physical presence, the state is more present than ever before through the installation of cameras on every corner, illegally or legally placed, and through the microphones and cameras on our mobile phones. No longer is the ‘big brother’ a fictional character from a novel, but the terrifying everyday life in which we live and grow up, where social control is brutal and universal.

The context of modern totalitarianism could not fail to include the further “upgrading” of the prison system and prisons. The state and those in power, known for their fetishism in punishing and torturing anyone who opposes them, are constantly reinforcing the dungeons of democracy, aiming at the complete annihilation of the imprisoned militants. Thus, in the winter of 2022, in a more comprehensive attempt to fortify the state against the social upheaval that prevailed, the new penal code is passed. According to it, type C prisons were reintroduced under the name of ”maximum security prisons”, disciplinary procedures were tightened, the conditions for granting leave and for the temporary dismissal of those prosecuted under 187A or accused of robbery and drug offences were changed, thus discrediting the position of political prisoners. It also introduces a ban on the transfer of certain categories of prisoners to rural prisons.

UK: Wales, and West Utilities Attacked (Solidarity with the Cardiff rioters)

Posted on 2023/05/30 by darknights

Source: Act for freedom now!

THEN
A reminder to those whose memory fails them…..
On Saturday 13th June 2020 large numbers of people defied lockdown restrictions to resist the eviction of Glenfrome Road. GRC Baliffs attempted to clear a big traveller site on the old gas works site in Bristol.

Despite the large police presence, and the increased use of state power through the ‘Coronavirus Act’, the eviction went on for over 12 hours and solidarity was strong. GRC failed to evict the site.

NOW
The company that paid for the eviction was Wales and West Utilities.
They have just built a new £4 million Gas Haulage Depot on the Glenfrome Road site, and its up and running so we thought we’d pay them a visit.

In the early hours of Friday 26th May, shots were fired with a slingshot over the perimeter fence of Wales and West Utilities, taking out two large first floor windows… A small reminder that we hold grudges, and that there are many ways to resist.

Wales and West Utilities talk of ‘sustainability’ (the site is part of their “commitment to biodiversity”) and new gas tech… Bristol City Council have helped fund the site. Wales and West own 35,000km of gas pipeline.

Near the depot (unconnected to us) we noticed some graffiti: “Power to the Peaceful!” but we don’t buy that concept…. and have no time for “pacifism”……. in the face of ecological collapse…. we call for rage and rowdy responses. Not peacefulness…

The police were not peaceful when they used grenades at Saint-Soline against those who resisted the mega-basin. Solidarity with Serge Duteuil-Graziani who is in a coma and sustained major head injuries due to the grenades.

The police were not peaceful when they killed Kyrees Sullivan and Harvey Evans in Cardiff this week. Solidarity with the Cardiff rioters!

Many companys with a shiny public image like Wales and West Utilities
pay baliffs to do their dirty work…. Evicting people is big
business, and there will be many more in Bristol this summer.
There were beautiful riots when the ‘Police Crime Sentencing and courts Bill’ (PCSC) was passed (strength to those inside or awaiting trial!).

This action is a reminder that the bill doesn’t just effect those resisting, it also criminalises people’s way of life if they choose not to live in homes made of bricks.

For a summer of disobedience and anarchy!
See you on the streets!

Providencia, Chile: Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (May 22, 2023)

Posted on 2023/05/25 by darknights

Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile, May 22, 2023)

Claim of the explosive attack on Fundación Paz Ciudadana

Those who have been here, in the minority and diffuse practice, know that failing an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well, we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned.

Deciding on an electrical system to detonate an explosive charge is not a whimsical decision, it is the result of studying the objectives, our forces and our resources for action. With a quick entry and withdrawal from the environment we prioritize the safety of our comrades, understanding that the materials at our disposal come and go, while the life and freedom of our brothers and sisters is the most valuable component of the arsenal.

These bitter situations are softened when we know from practice that although the State, police and prosecutors are careful to protect their territories, neighborhoods, institutions and infrastructures, the attack is still possible in contexts of control and passivity. The attack does not come to life in fervent virtual slogans, it is a threat when it bursts into the streets.

In the face of a mistake we could remain comfortably silent but we are proud to persist in action, charged with memory and militant solidarity. We take the words of the comrades in Bolivia, “Long live all the efforts of the anarchic struggle!” because to advance vertiginously along the paths of confrontation is a victory for our revolutionary horizons. We continue, we know that nothing is over and everything continues, and that our only defeat will be not to try.

On the objective

On April 2, 1992, a gang dressed in suits and ties burst into a large house located on the corner of Valenzuela Castillo and Marchant Pereira streets in the Providencia district in broad daylight to found what we know today as the Fundación Paz Ciudadana (Citizen Peace Foundation). No newspaper or television channel dared to treat them as high-risk criminals, despite the fact that among the attendees that afternoon were Agustín Edwards (great financier of the socio-political destabilization in the 70’s) and other prominent figures of Chilean political corruption such as Carlos Alberto Délano, as well as Nicolás Ibáñez and Nicolás Ibáñez, as well as Nicolás Ibáñez, a well-known ultra-right-wing businessman, who when he ran D&S boasted a life-size bust of Pinochet in the middle of his living room, and other members of Chile’s most powerful business groups such as Bernardo Matte and Guillermo Luksic.

Fundación Paz Ciudadana emerged when the longed-for social peace of the agreed transition was cracking and a hard blow was dealt to one of the country’s wealthiest families. A split of the Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez kidnapped Cristián Edwards, Agustín’s son. After this event, the need for an anti-crime plan and a new Penal Code became urgent, since it could not be allowed the audacity of stalking the magnates of this estate.
