Varedo, Italy: Attack on Lega headquarters in solidarity with Cospito

Posted on 2022/12/02 - 2022/12/02 by darknights

Striking a party like the Lega Nord means attacking institutional nationalism, racism and xenophobia. It means fighting the politics of “law and order.” Last night, Nov. 23, the windows of the Lega Nord headquarters in Varedo, a municipality in the Milan hinterland, were smashed.

This action is a concrete gesture of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (and the other imprisoned anarchists who support him) who are fighting to the bitter end against the double torture of 41 bis and hostile life imprisonment. The latter measure, moreover, was recently reconfirmed by a decree passed by the current government, of which the Lega is a member.

No amount of repression will stop anarchist conflict.

Tuscany, Italy: Sabotage of a cable bundle in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

Sabotage of a bundle of cables in the Florence-Pisa Nord highway

ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 28, I SET FIRE TO A BUNDLE OF CABLES ALONG THE FLORENCE – PISA NORD HIGHWAY. I CHOSE TO SABOTAGE THE LINE AFTER READING ON THE CABLES THE NAME OF A COMPANY THAT MAKES POWER LINE AND FIBER OPTIC CABLES. TO DO THIS I TIED TWO PIECES OF WOOD WITH WIRE ABOVE AND BELOW THE 6 CABLES. I INSERTED DIAVOLINA INTO THE CRACKS AND SPRINKLED THE WHOLE THING WITH GASOLINE. I DO NOT KNOW THE IMPACT OF THE ACTION BECAUSE THE MEDIA DID NOT REPORT ON IT. THE ACTION IS ALSO MEANT IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO, WHO IS ON HUNGER STRIKE. NO PUNISHMENT CAN DETER THOSE WHO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, THOSE WHO KNOW NO CALCULATIONS AND COMPROMISES.

Athens, Greece: ‘Life is not so good.’ Claim for the incendiary attack on an LG van in Kaisariani

Posted on 2022/12/02 by darknights

In the early morning hours of November 19 to 20, a van of the multinational company LG (life is good) in Kaisariani, was torched. Life is good only for the bosses and the rulers of this world. For us it becomes good only in moments like this, when we are attacking. We dedicate this attack to the Turkish fighters who are on hunger strike demanding a fair trial and to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike against the 41bis regime.

Solidarity to the 4 comrades who are being persecuted for the case of “comrades”.

We send fiery signals of solidarity to the 4 imprisoned comrades accused of the attack on the Piraeus traffic police and to the imprisoned comrades D. Hatzivassiliadis and V. Stathopoulos, who are currently undergoing an appeal.

Practical and aggressive solidarity with all political prisoners.

Milwaukie, Oregon, USA: KONE service truck set ablaze in solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito & Alabama prison movement

Posted on 2022/11/26 - 2022/11/26 by darknights

On the night of November 21st, a KONE service truck was set ablaze while parked behind their corporate office in Milwaukie, Oregon.

This fire was lit for anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito in solidarity with his hunger strike against the 41Bis regime in Italy as part of the international call to action.

Cospito was arrested in 2012 and remained imprisoned by the Italian state ever since. According to prosecutors he was linked to various clandestine actions and membership in the Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI). Throughout his imprisonment he has remained committed to the anarchist struggle by texts and interventions. Eventually, on the 5th of May, he was cut off all contact to other humans. From that day on and indefinitely, he lives under the so called 41Bis regime, in a blatant attempt by the Italian state at total isolation.

The multinational corporation KONE a manufacturer of elevators, escalators, and door systems has contracts with prisons and military facilities worldwide, including the Aviano NATO Air Base in Northeastern Italy, through their subsidiary KONE SPA.

Through the practice of revolutionary solidarity we aim to break the isolation of the prison cell. By attacking the corporate infrastructure that enables the system of mass incarceration it is our intention to expand the struggle against prisons beyond the prison walls. To ensure that no prisoner struggling for freedom does so in isolation

Solidarity with Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino who have joined Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against the 41Bis regime.

Solidarity with the Alabama prison movement that recently completed a 3-week work stoppage that effected all 13 prisons in the Alabama Department of Corrections system.

Russia: Radical Resistance 15 – 22.11.22

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

Vladivostok

On November 16, a colonel, Vadim Boiko, who worked with the mobilized, was found shot dead in his own office.

Eyewitnesses heard five shots. The first one to run into the office was the duty officer, who saw the body of the colonel with gunshot wounds to the chest. Forensics found five casings and four Makarov pistols. No suicide note was found.

Colonel Vadim Boyko was deputy head of the Pacific Higher Naval School, head of the technical support department.

Rostov-on-Don

November 17. During one night, an unknown guerrilla attacker damaged eight police cars in the Zheleznozhozhny district. All cars had their windows broken.

Novosibirsk

On 18 November in Novosibirsk anarchists destroyed an outdoor surveillance camera.

Moscow

On November 21 a warehouse of Ministry of Internal Affairs burst into flames at Moscow-Leningradskaya station. The warehouse was 10 meters away from the building of MIA. When the fire began to spread, the employees themselves fled, but there was enormous material damage: dozens of printers and scanners, 50 chairs, 20 armchairs, 10 tables and two air conditioners (and also a whole sports simulator and a bunch of gloves with masks) were burned. A criminal case has been opened.

Grozny

On November 21 a daredevil attacked a police inspector with a knife while he was performing prayers. The partisan attacked him from behind while the servant of the regime was ablution and stabbed him to Allah.

The assailant thus seized the policeman’s service weapon, but was unable to use it because he was shot dead by the killer’s colleagues. The murder of the assailant was reported by Ramzan Kadyrov himself. It is reported that the identity of the assailant has not been established, and that he most probably acted alone.

This is not the first attack on police officers in Grozny. Specifically, on December 28, 2020, two policemen were attacked by indviduals in the center of the city, armed with knives and tried to seize their weapons. As a result of the attack, one policeman died and another was wounded and hospitalized. Both attackers were killed.

On December 17, 2020. The Investigative Committee opened another criminal case over an attack on police officers in the Kurchaloysky district of Chechnya. According to preliminary data of the investigation, the attack happened around 1 a.m. on December 17 after two men in a VAZ-2114 car refused to stop on demand of policemen. During the pursuit the intruders opened fire at the policemen with an assault rifle, they were killed in return fire. Continue reading “Russia: Radical Resistance 15 – 22.11.22” →

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility – Against the war industry by Anarchists

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

Taking responsibility – Against the war industry

In the days of commemoration of the Polytechnic, we must not forget the anti-militarist implications of the uprising. In the midst of military dictatorship, one of the central slogans of the occupied Polytechnic in ’73 was “Out with NATO”. Picking up this thread, anarchy today must find a way of direct action against those who profit and gain from these wars.

While we try to develop anarchist considerations and analyses of every interstate war conflict, one of the most important aspects of the multifaceted anti-military struggle is often ignored: sabotaging the death machine on the ground we are on.

Since we are in NATO’s territory of influence, we have a duty to sabotage everything used by the armed forces of the Greek state and its allies, the arms industry, the financiers and those who give orders and make decisions.

Toulouse, France: ‘Borne… to be burned!’ New electric car charging station burned

Posted on 2022/11/19 by darknights

New electric car charging station burned down on boulevard de Suisse, in Toulouse, this Thursday, November 10.

Energy is their future. Fossil or renewable, and especially nuclear, imported or not, production is always increasing, defining our needs and ruining lives.
The French state wants to stay in the race of energy markets. The restructuring of the car fleet is one of them, with the announced plan for 2030 of 2 million electric cars; this means new lithium mines, whole fields of photovoltaic panels and windmills, cities closed to all those who cannot afford to buy the new Zoe or a Tesla. If the planned goal of 100,000 electric charging stations has not been reached this year, it may be because this future is only of interest to car shareholders and a few hypertechnology enthusiasts. Since this summer, several recently installed charging stations have been destroyed in Toulouse, one of the test cities of the LEZ (low emission zone subject to the crit’air sticker). We participated in this resistance. The LEZ is an ecological decoy and a social injustice. Because we do not see a transition but an accumulation of energy resources whose exploitation conditions the survival of this shitty system. We see with joy that a resistance is also unfolding everywhere in many ways, and more broadly against the industries that pump all the energy.

Canada: Solidarity Rail Sabotage in Eastern Ontario

Posted on 2022/11/16 by darknights

Anonymous Submission to North Shore Counter-Info

In the early hours of Nov 5, groups of anarchists acted in solidarity with Sleydo’s call for action to support the ongoing Wet’suwet’en battle to protect the yintah and kill the drill. Rail lines were sabotaged at several points in a disruption of business-as-usual along main arteries of the freight system. They will continue to be sabotaged at random far into the future, at every corner of rail line across the turtle’s back.

Others are encouraged to take this route however, wherever, and whenever they can – grab yourself some bolt cutters or copper wire. Grab a friend or go alone. Enjoy the birds, the wind, the silence.

The night sky yawns and the stars and moon stare down at us, working in the night. They cast their gaze upon us near and far, as they do also on the shimmering waters of the Wedzin Kwa. The drilling begins, and while we weep for the water, the salmon, and our beloved dead, our rage begins to burn, a lit fuse.

CGL, RBC, Kkkanada – you are not safe and you have ignited something that will never die.
