Croix-Daurade, France: Fire of an electric car charging station in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/13 by darknights

Croix Daurade, charging station on fire, if we don’t burn them, we’ll have the EPZ!

At the end of December 2022, while some people are driving a Tesla and are warm at home, we don’t have the money to pay our bills. To keep warm we made a good fire with a charging station for electric cars in Croix-Daurade.

The ZFE will prevent the poorest from accessing Toulouse under an ecological pretext. Driving a Zoe will only stop pollution in your dreams. The EPZ excludes the poor, the poor want to exclude the EPZ.
The State ecology goes through the all-electricity, in particular by the nuclear power, which is an industry of death. The death of the proles colonized in the uranium mines, the death of the production and management of waste, in short the death of the living which would be only a collateral damage.

Ten years ago, after the minor accident at Fukushima, fellow revolutionaries shot the CEO of an Italian company that exported nuclear technology in the knee. Today, one of them, Alfredo Cospito, is in jail and undergoing total isolation. For two months, he has been on hunger strike to alleviate his conditions of detention.

Strength to him, to Anna Beniamino who also assumed the jambization [Note to those who translated into Italian: Anna Beniamino has never assumed any jamming], and to all the comrades who fight against the nuclear.

Against the Empire of green capital, let us be Spartacus!

Lugano, Switzerland: Claim of incendiary attack on a university van in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/13 by darknights

In the early hours of Tuesday, January 10, far from assembly fanfare, a van at the University of Lugano was attacked with fire in solidarity with fellow anarchist Alfredo Cospito who has been on hunger strike for 83 days.

The choice of the faculty was not accidental, in fact the complex that was attacked houses classrooms and offices of the Faculty of Computer Science (www.inf.usi.ch) of the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences (www.biomed.usi.ch/it), the Department of Innovative Technologies of SUPSI (www.supsi.ch/dti/) and the Dalle Molle Institute of Artificial Intelligence Studies (IDSIA)(www.idsia.ch).

Against the increasingly deadly future proposed by society and civilization, the only viable path is that of attack.

Strength Thanos Chatziangelou
Strength Ivan Alocco
Strength to all imprisoned Anarchists and imprisoned revolutionary fighters

A warm greeting to those who find themselves birds of the forest
May this little hearth warm you

Long live Anarchy
Long live the Black International
Death to the technoworld

Athens, Greece: Incendiary attack against machinery at a metro construction site in solidarity with Thanos Chatziangelou and Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/13 by darknights

On Monday, December 26, we set fire to 2 construction machines used at the construction site for the new metro line in May Day Square.

As soon as the time changed, we attacked the metro machines on Vikou Avenue in Galati. We realized that in the intense humidity in the air, there was a possibility of failure of the action. In any case, we decided to take the risk and the result was that 3 project machines were completely destroyed and probably some more were damaged, which was a positive thing for us.

What happened will in no way stop work on the metro, but it did result in 5 damaged machines which caused a good financial loss and sent a message of resistance. Perhaps our action caused a slight delay in the work process, but we will always prefer action to simply being a spectator to the absurd and sad reality.

It was easy to choose the target, not only for what it represents as a symbol but also for the practical use it contributes to the normalcy of cities. The subway, urban development works,bulldozers and other machinery are only an illustration of gentrification, progress, modernization, the destruction of nature and the imposition of the techno-industrial system.

Germany: Berlin greets Athena

Posted on 2023/01/12 by darknights

Get out where the homes are and the large families and the subproletariat and the proletarian women who are just waiting to punch the right people in the face. They’ll take the lead. And don’t get caught and learn from them how not to get caught – they know more about it than you do.
Unleash the class struggles. Organize the proletariat.
Gudrun Ensslin – Building the Red Army, June 1970

The clamor is great, the petty-bourgeois mob rages in the networks and media, fascists and Greens finally united in the cause. The Minister of Health has completely internalized the permanent state of emergency of the pandemic, anyone who obstructs operations by cops and firefighters should be obligingly thrown out of his apartment.

Everyone who wanted to know knew what was going to happen. Anyone walking the streets of this city, moving outside their comfort bubble, talking to the proletarian youth, knew that the night of reckoning had come. Almost three years of pandemic state of emergency, everywhere harassment, repression and cops, now the next solidarity effort of society, all have to make sacrifices for the just war. Where the coal is not enough at the end of the month anyway, it is not even enough for half the month. The everyday racism of the cops, the poverty that you only escape if you earn your money in a creative way beyond the bourgeois rules of the game. You are the dregs of society, educationally distant sounds more elegant than antisocial milieu, but it means the same thing.

For days the proles have been stocking up on pyrotechnics, the weapons of the little people, long queues in front of the stores, the smartest were beyond the borders, it must be really rumbling when the cops come. Already 2 days before New Year’s Eve the first confrontations with the cops in Berlin, partly the are lured with burning garbage cans and then attacked from a tactically clever position. The surplus proletariat of Berlin studies the actions of the French banlieue. Partly on Netflix. That’s how the times have become. Continue reading “Germany: Berlin greets Athena” →

Hamburg, Germany: Responsibility claim for the arson attack on a truck of the company Strabag in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and the fighters in Lützerath

Posted on 2023/01/12 - 2023/01/14 by darknights

January 5, 2023

In memory of the hunger-striking anarchist Alfredo Cospito we set fire to trucks of Strabag in the Schanze on the night of Jan. 5.
Strabag does not only build jails. At least since the struggle for the Dannenröder forest, they have also often been the target of attacks because they actively destroy nature. Our fire should also give strength to those fighting in and around Lützerath. Day X has already been proclaimed.

“We are in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, who has been on hunger strike since October 20, 2022 against his imprisonment in the 41-bis isolation regime and against life imprisonment without option of release. Alfredo’s detention conditions at the moment are slightly better than the previous weeks. He has lost a lot of weight and his health is relatively stable, but could become critical at any time. Two other prisoners in Italy, Anna and Juan have been on prolonged solidarity hunger strikes and Ivan Alocco, a prisoner in France is also supporting Alfredo through hunger strike. Toby Shone, who is in jail in England, is also supporting Alfredo by refusing to eat several days a week. (DN Note: Now out of Parc prison, under strict conditions, in a ‘semi-open’ detention structure.)
https://actforfree.noblogs.org/post/2023/01/01/italy-update-about-the-he…
We are also in solidarity with Thanos Chatziangelou of the Anarchist Action organization, who was illegally transferred from Korydallos to Nigrita prison in Serres on Dec. 19. Thanos started a hunger and thirst strike that day. The comrade is involved in the recent mobilizations in prisons in Greece against the new harsh laws that are currently taking place in many places and in which many prisoners have participated in recent months.

Berlin, Germany: Attack with Fire for Thanos Chatziangelou

Posted on 2023/01/08 by darknights

“The state is not something that can be destroyed by revolution, but it is a condition, a certain relationship between people, a mode of human behavior; we destroy it by entering into other relationships, by behaving differently.”

– Gustav Landauer

When we carried the spirit of solidarity to Berlin-Neukölln in the first hours of January 3, Thanos Chatziangelou was in the 15th day of his hunger and thirst strike.

Our target was a truck from the car rental company Hertz, which we burned completely because Hertz – not only in Greece, but especially there – provides vehicles to the enemy (police, military, private security forces) at reduced prices. In the USA, in December, Hertz had to pay almost 170 million dollars in compensation to former customers who were falsely accused by Hertz of stealing rental cars, some of whom ended up in jail.

We found the Sonnenallee in Neukölln, a neighbourhood where there are frequent clashes with the police, to be a suitable place for the fire. After the riots there on New Year’s Eve, the politicians and the press went on a rampage against the “migrant youths”. We, on the other hand, welcome every rocket and firecracker used against the cops and show solidarity with the rioters.

For the fulfilment of Thanos Chatziangelou’s demands!

Solidarity with the 11 Turkish prisoners who are also on hunger strike in Greece!

Freedom for Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike in Italy!

Strength to all the resistant prisoners whose names would make any text endless!

Russia: Bombing and undermining of bridge leading to facility of Minsitry of Defence

Posted on 2023/01/07 by darknights

04.01.2023

The Anarcho-Communist Militant Organization takes responsibility for undermining the railway bridge leading to the facility of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The action was carried out some time ago. Unfortunately, the bombing was not 100% effective, but the experience will be used in future attacks. So it was decided to make the experience public, not only for our benefit, but for the benefit of the whole guerrilla movement.

We used a charge of ~10 kg of permons in a metal casing (a paint bucket). An intermediate detonator of ~1 kg of ammonal-3 (saltpeter, sugar, powder) in a plastic case (mayonnaise bucket) was used to start the permons. To detonate the ammonal, a detonator made of ~10 grams of acetone triperoxide in a paper case (paper cylinder wrapped with duct tape) was used.

To place the detonator in the center of the ammonal charge, a paper tube with a diameter slightly larger than the kiso detonator was placed through a hole in the lid of a plastic mayonnaise bucket. This solves two problems at once: it is possible to place the ammonal in the container in advance, while isolating it from the outside environment (because it is hygroscopic). And secondly, the detonator can be inserted at the very last moment, reducing the risks. Continue reading “Russia: Bombing and undermining of bridge leading to facility of Minsitry of Defence” →

Russia: Radical Resistance 22.12-27.12.22

Posted on 2023/01/07 by darknights

Journalists counted 72 military facilities that have been attacked by the resistance in Russia since the beginning of the war (tg channel Rospartizan), including 44 arson attacks. Military registration and enlistment offices were attacked most frequently. This figure obviously does not include attacks against conditionally civilian objects, such as local authorities, the headquarters of various parties and cars belonging to officials. Also not included are attacks on symbols of war and cars with symbols of war. It is not clear whether those cases where the authorities do not prosecute for arson, and write it off as negligence, are included.) It is also unclear whether the statistics include the actions of Ukrainian partisans on the territory of Russia and their joint actions.

Thus, it is not even possible to estimate the number of guerrilla attacks, let alone smaller acts of sabotage in the workplace. But we are not chasing statistics either. Of the trends, the following can be noted:

Guerrilla attacks are being carried out by people of all ages, from teenagers to people in their 70s and from all walks of life, from the unemployed to businessmen to scientists. Partisans include members of the anarchist movement and other forces, but many do not associate themselves with any political trend.
Many of the attacks are symbolic, they do not do much material damage to the enemy, but have value precisely as a moral gesture, a demonstration of personal choice and an appeal to others.

Here are some of the guerrilla attacks of late December:

December 22.

Arkhangelsk

Unknown assailants attacked one of the wealthiest deputies, Peter Vatutin, head of the “Just Russia” faction in the city Duma. At the intersection of Lomonosov and Serafimovich, in the center of the city, his car was shot four times, allegedly from a semi-automatic pistol. Hopefully, the next time they meet, the partisans will be better armed.

Orekhovo

Guerrillas burned a locomotive in Orekhovo near Moscow at night. Russian Railways officials reported that this was at least the fifth case of deliberate destruction of locomotives in a month, at various stations. A few hours earlier, unknown guerrillas burned a signaling unit, which led to a traffic stoppage on the Samara-Penza section. The partisans are at large.

Rome, Italy: Those who burn on New Year’s Eve… Incendiary attack on four Hertz vans in solidarity with Thanos Chatziangelou, Alfredo Cospito, Ivan Alocco, Anna Beniamino and Juan Sorroche

Posted on 2023/01/06 by darknights

Those who burn on New Year’s Eve.

Rome. On New Year’s Eve we had zero desire to celebrate. We took to the streets full of rage. Supported by an unusual as well as thick fog, we attacked with fire the multinational Hertz, burning 4 vans. Those shits in Greece have made deals to supply vehicles to the cops.
We dedicate this action to Thanos, Greek comrade on hunger and thirst strike.
To Alfredo, on hunger strike for more than 70 days.
To Ivan, Anna, Juan and to all the anarchist prisoners.
Forza compas. Our hearts are with you.

For Direct Action.
For Anarchy.
