Hood River, Oregon, U$A: Arson Against Drone Manufacturer, Boeing Subsidiary

Posted on 2025/08/23 by darknights

In the early morning hours of July 23rd, an Insitu van was set ablaze while it sat in an empty lot across from their office in Hood River, OR. This fire was set, because the growth of the national security state poses an existential threat to all those who dream of free world. We act in total antagonism against those who enable and profit from militarism, policing and surveillance.

Insitu, a fully owned subsidiary of Boeing, develops and manufactures drone technology for military and law enforcement use. The Boeing Insitu RQ-21 Blackjack and MQ-27 ScanEagle surveillance drones have been integrated into weapons systems operated by the US Navy and Marine Corp. ScanEagle UAV’s are actively being utilized by the Saudi-led coalition forces as part of their ongoing military intervention in the Yemeni civil war.

In 2023 the Customs and Border Protection agency began conducting technology evaluations of the Blackjack and ScanEagle drones for surveillance purposes at the US-Mexico border. In 2011 Insitu introduced the Inceptor, a small unmanned helicopter designed to fit in the trunk of cop cars. This further demonstrates that technology developed for military interventions abroad will always be reconstituted for domestic counter insurgency and repression through policing and border enforcement.

As Israel continues its genocidal war against the people of Gaza, we will not forget that Boeing is among the largest manufacturers of munitions and military equipment to the IDF, including F-15 Fighter Jets and Apache Attack Helicopters. Boeing is supplying Israel with the weapons and technology that make this genocide possible. We did this action as a modest gesture of solidarity with ongoing Palestinian resistance to colonialism and apartheid — from within and outside the occupied territories — from the river to the sea

Kassel, Germany: Never fit for combat! Fire at Bundeswehr vehicle depot

Posted on 2025/08/22 by darknights

It’s war, and Germany is getting ready. Military, political, and economic associations have been gripped by a mania for military preparedness, and everyone is expected to go along with it. “Operation Deustchland” is supposed to make the country fit for war in five years, and camouflage is flourishing everywhere: Rheinmetall, KNDS, and others are snapping up one location after another, the civil clause is crumbling at universities, VW’s management is thinking out loud about getting into the arms business, hospitals and supply structures are being made ready for war, and the Bundeswehr is promoting service to Germany with glossy image campaigns in schools, social media, and billboards. Investment in armaments is becoming a principle of sustainability. Parallel to material and ideological rearmament, there is an authoritarian shift internally, as can be seen in the repression of Palestine solidarity or the anti-militarist movement. The turning point is also in full swing.

Even Friedrich Merz knows that capitalism is in a serious global crisis, and Germany’s “export world champion” model is also suffering as a result: “It was primarily the Americans who secured peace and our freedom, while we concentrated on the economy – and it ran brilliantly. Global markets, cheap intermediate products mainly from China, low-cost energy mainly from Russia, refinement in Germany and then out into the world – that was the German business model. All of that is now being called into question.”

So tough times are ahead, dear citizens. But if German capital wants to continue exploiting the world, making the rich richer and finally producing strong, capable men again, then we have to go through with it. And we have to do it together. This mindset is not one that is only fermenting in the depths of Blackrock’s brains. From all sides, the cry echoes through the republic: Prepare for war if you want to keep your prosperity and freedom. For the struggle for power in the 21st century is far from decided; it is entering a new phase.

The fact that we now have to prepare for World War III here at home brings home the reality of the world. For all the years that we were able to tell ourselves fairy tales of peace and prosperity, cannons were thundering elsewhere. War has been killing for years wherever there is still something to be gained: in Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, destroying societies in Mexico, Kurdistan, Brazil, and raping in Ukraine, Congo, and the Sahara.

But those who bet only on war are incapable of true peace. The fight against war is a fight against capitalism, which needs every crisis to generate new profits, just as it is a fight against patriarchy, which for millennia has drummed into us that there will always be rulers and ruled in this world. There is no place for humanity, community, and dignity in this logic. This will never be our war. It is a war of the rulers, dripping with destructive masculinity, delusions of grandeur, and exploitation. Neither Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, nor Netanyahu are fighting for human values in this war.

We will not allow ourselves to be distracted by their games. A good life can only be achieved when people across national borders fight for a world that is not up for sale and in which human lives are not cheaply exploited. What we need is a peace movement that fights and lives up to its name. We need a whole flood of initiatives, networks, actions, and resistance to counter the impending conflagration. Our action is part of this, and we welcome everyone who comes together, organizes, resists, and seeks solutions.

Never alone, always together, always international! Yes, war and fascism are already at our doorstep, but together with all our fighting friends around the world, this can be our turning point. Because Lieutenant General Bodemann is right about one thing when he says: “The most important thing is that, in the end, every single citizen will matter in this war.” Mr. Bodemann, we agree on that.

So: Do what really matters!
Never fit for war—not today, not in 2029, never again!

Solidarity greetings to the Rheinmetall Disarmament Camp, which will take place in Cologne from August 26 to August 31!

Thessaloniki, Greece: Bomb attack against the chief prison guard of Diavata Prison

Posted on 2025/08/18 - 2025/08/18 by darknights

A powerful explosion from an explosive device shook the Analipsis area of Thessaloniki in the early hours of Saturday July 26th, causing extensive material damage. The explosion occurred at 2:10 a.m. at the entrance of an apartment building on 19 Makedononachon Street. The powerful shock wave, which according to residents was heard more than a kilometer away.

The president of the Panhellenic Federation of Prison Officers and chief guard of Diavata Prison lives in the apartment building, a fact that has raised alarm bells among the authorities. The cops are focusing their investigation on the possibility that the bomb attack was linked to his position, that it was directed as venegance against him, with possible ‘terrorist’ or ‘mafia’ motivations. In the past there used to be a police guard at this location, but it had been withdrawn.

Raids were conducted by the armed cops of the anti-terrorst EKAM at Diavata prison in response to the attack, but as of yet no links to who commited the attack have been found outside or inside the prison.

Santiago, Chile: Claim of Molotov Action in Solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH

Posted on 2025/08/12 by darknights

Claim of incendiary outing in solidarity with Aldo and Lucas, USACH, July 10.

The urban guerrilla persists in every action, in every moment where the foundations of this society tremble and fear is replaced by the terror of the imminent conflict.

These are the words that we hear in everyday life, in the diversity of spaces that at some point in our journey we have heard but that have multiplied even more with the passage of time, however fewer and fewer violent actions occur in this disgusting society, rather than wanting to deepen and carry out a thorough analysis of this (which we believe should be taken care of by the pathetic academics who enjoy playing the passive role in the face of the enemy of much theory and no action), we want to vindicate our brothers Aldo and Lukas through actions that were carried out in the search to break the passive and unhealthy daily life mentioned in which at the gates of their trial we decided to show brief but necessary gestures of combative solidarity, that those who face decades of imprisonment are not alone and that the conflict persists against those who subject us to this alienated life, that although today it was only an incendiary confrontation against the bastard police, in the near future there will be bullets piercing their bodies and bombs exploding in their faces, Prosecutors, gendarmes, police or any collaborator of the day we are living in, do not sleep peacefully, that we continue to sharpen our ideas and real threats will be made against you, that nothing is finished, that everything continues here in one way or another, that we know our path and that no matter what we will take our freedom and that of our brothers by assault.

LONG LIVE THE FIRE AND THE TERROR OF EXPLOSIONS.

Athens, Greece: Claim of Responsibility for Arson of Cop’s Vehicle

Posted on 2025/08/11 - 2025/08/11 by darknights

At dawn on 25/7 we carried out an arson attack on a private cop’s motorcycle in the area of Elliniko. As a result, it suffered significant damage and was forced to repair it. This move was not accidental as we chose to attack a uniformed garbage at a time when the state is increasingly strengthening the security forces with more funds in equipment and human resources, as well as privileges for them. This is done in an attempt by the state to shield internal social peace against resistance, against those who struggle, against the internal enemy, against the anarchist space. So it uses the cops as protectors of the politically and economically powerful, securing their interests. In the same strategy, it militarizes repression and control, tightens the laws and the penal code. At the same time, it displaces those who are left over and sterilizes the city center and public spaces (parks, squares, universities, etc.), evacuates squats and takes more security forces to protect goods, tourism, construction, and in general the gentrification and investment plans at the expense of the poor and persecuted.

With this move we want to remind in every direction that for us no cop can sleep peacefully and everyone has a responsibility from the moment they consciously decide to support the state and sovereignty with their work.

We dedicate this action to the memory of the anarchist comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris

We send incendiary signals of solidarity to the anarchist comrades Marianna and Dimitra who are being prosecuted for the same case

Patras, Greece: Solidarity actions for anarchist comrade Andreas Floros

Posted on 2025/08/11 by darknights

A few days before Andreas’ apology, we carried out acts of sabotage and wrote slogans on several banks and ATMs in the city of Patras, as a minimal symbolic gesture of solidarity with him.

Andreas was accused of forming and joining the “terrorist” organization “Conspiracy Vengance” and since April 26, he has been held in pretrial detention at the Amfissa prison. On May 16, his trial began at the Lukareos Court of Appeals in Athens, where the court decided to acquit him, thus ending his detention, as he is now outside the prison walls.

As an anarchist, Andreas is targeted by the authorities because of his long-standing and ongoing participation in social and class struggles in the city of Patras. He has chosen to stand against every oppressor and alongside every oppressed person, against every authority that dominates our lives, and to fight for a free world.

The conspiracy built by the Patras state security and the anti-terrorist service, and ratified by the prosecutor and investigator, with well-known tactics such as upgrading charges, anonymous phone calls, the use of conversations with imprisoned detainees to create profiles and criminalize friendly and comradely relationships, reveals at its core the central and timeless policy of the state to attack and suppress anyone who struggles. For this reason, we recognize the prosecution and attack on our comrade as a targeted attack on the entire anarchist and anti-authoritarian movement.

Obviously, the media played an important role in the prosecution of Andreas, as they took care from the outset to reproduce the police press releases and comment on them, deliberately adding characterizations and false information to the detriment of our comrade. In this way, they created an image of Andreas as a “hardened criminal,” distorting his political identity, while at the same time reinforcing the fear that already exists in society and glorifying the role and work of the police. All of the above contribute to his early social condemnation.

Finally, for this symbolic act of solidarity, we chose as our target one of the foundations of capitalism, power, and oppression. Because banks and capital, together with states, contribute to the complete destruction of the world in order to maintain the capitalist system, which alienates, crushes, destroys, and takes away everything we have to survive. It is time to take it all back.

Athens, Greece: Bomb containing 5 sticks of dynamite found outside home of media scum journalist Giannis Pretenteris

Posted on 2025/07/15 - 2025/07/16 by darknights

An explosive device found in the garden of the one-storey home of well known scum journalist personality Giannis Pretenteris, in the suburb of Neo Psychiko, northern Athens. The device consisted of five dynamite sticks and a timer and it was wrapped in a plastic bag. It is assumed that the perpetrators threw the device over the wall, possibly during the night, but for unknown reasons it did not go off. There was no warning and so far no claim.

Giannis Pretenteris is a typical ‘talking head’ journalist of the newspaper ‘To Vima’ and appears mostly on the disgusting spectacle that is MEGA TV news channel as a contributor to discussions of political content. He is no friend of anarchists speaking out against them, slandering them constantly as terrorists and has done his upmost to defend Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ New Democracy right wing governement. The reason he’s a scumbag has been explained in a previous attack by Direct Action Cells.
