Santiago, Chile: Arson attack against the Club de Huasos y Rodeo Gil Letelier + Grupo de Respuesta Animal’s claim.

Posted on 2022/06/03 - 2022/06/03 by darknights

In the early morning of May 26, 2022, anonymous hands set fire to the Gil Letelier Huasos and Rodeo Club in the commune of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, Santiago, in addition to leaving pamphlets and bullets as a threat.

A few days later the action is attributed by the Animal Response Group to different counterinformation pages as a coordinated action and in conjunction with the attack on the gendarmerie building by the “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre” (November 2nd Insurrectional Cell).

Claiming responsibility for the arson attack against the Gil Letelier Huasos and Rodeo Club.

“I decided to get involved in serious criminal activities, after a serious reflection that I took as an individual.” Rod Coronado, Animal Liberation Front warrior.

Under cover of the moon and previously organized, in unison with the actions of the “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre” that attacked with an explosive device the building of the ” Circle of Retired Gendarmerie Officials”, we: attacked, set fire to and disabled one of the torture centers for animals, called medialuna. Where the rodeo is practiced, national sport of this disgusting country, which consists of two riders on horseback, whipping a steer against a wall, until it causes bruises, fractures, internal spills and even death.

This medialuna of the “Club de Huasos y Rodeo Gil Letelier”, was (hahaha) located in Carlos Valdovinos street #2951, commune of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, Santiago.

We used a large amount of fuel for our task. Vulnerating the security of the premises and the bastard police, but prepared in case we had to face as equals with vigilantes, citizen heroes or pacos. Which, fortunately for them, did not happen.

We prioritized action; of sabotage, threat and execution. Fed up with a scene of supposed animal liberation fighters, who settle for an alternative diet, harmless words and belligerent network posts.

Bologna, Italy: Two repeaters set on fire

Posted on 2022/06/03 - 2022/06/03 by darknights

“Social war on state war,” this was the writing left on the night of May 22 near 2 repeaters set on fire near Bologna. A minimal gesture of active insubordination to a state that lives on wars and massacres and today accuses anarchists of massacre, that sends weapons but flaunts itself as a bearer of peace, that legitimizes the use of torture through the 41bis regime. We act, because for 2 years they have been intermittently locking us in, blackmailing us and taking away our ability to deal on the basis of free choices with what was happening. All to run the money machine of capitalism. And today we find ourselves the rich richer, the poor poorer and society more alienating, judgmental and suspicious. Now, with war, it happens again: emergency, national unity, sacrifices, because the bosses, beyond their country, have to assert and proceed with their interests, on the skin of those who are under the bombs, those who go to jail for protests, those who impoverish. If we don’t want the war they are waging on us to make the world an unlivable place, it’s time to agitate, to fight back and strike even unpredictably because they must know that in front of their plans there are those who are immobile and silent and do not want to be.

For Anna, Juan and Alfredo
Against the torture of prison and 41 bis
For all x prisoners who struggle

Athens, Greece: Intervention at ΕΣΗΕΑ (Athens Daily Newspaper Editors Union) in solidarity with the hunger strike of anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis

Posted on 2022/06/02 - 2022/06/02 by darknights

10th DAY OF THE HUNGER STRIKE OF GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

Update from today’s intervention at ESIEA

The assembly in solidarity with the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike since 23/5, held an intervention today at the ESIEA building, in order to give visibility to the struggle of his comrade. As soon as the intervention started, the vice president of ESIEA was negative even with the hanging of the banner. We made it clear to him that we had come with the specific purpose of highlighting the hunger strike and that we would leave when we felt that the comrade’s hunger strike had been sufficiently highlighted. He threatened us that he would call the police and we replied that we would not leave the building until we had left safely and had achieved our purpose. He ordered all the telephone lines and computers in the building to be shut down to prevent the propaganda of the action.

We are not in a position to know if the vice president ultimately called the cops or if they came on their own. Two Delta groups (Motorcycle cops) came to the scene and even without any legitimacy they entered the ground floor and threatened us with arrest. We re-stated that we would not leave unless the police forces left.The determination of the solidarity groups to remain in the building made it clear to the president that in order to end the intervention the cops had to leave.

The banner was hung from the rooftop and leaflets were thrown.

About the choice to intervene in the ESIEA

We have no illusions about the mainstream media. However, against the constant tactic of the state apparatus to silence the hunger strikes, we had to intervene in order to make the demand for the immediate release of Giannis Michailidis heard. The regime media that wrote about the intervention did not post the text.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for explosive attack at house of 2nd Lieutenant Evangelos Kaisis of the ΟΠΚΕ police unit by Group “Revenge Guerrillas”

Posted on 2022/06/02 - 2022/06/02 by darknights

ΟΠΚΕ during a raid in the Exarcheia neighborhood of Athens

Nowadays, the state apparatus and its minions think they are immune. They act against all those who do not accept the miseries they impose on us and who dare to stand up to the vindictive regime. Cops, investigators, prosecutors and journalists have created a regime alliance with the sole aim of repression and the disappearance of dignity. This must stop immediately and these scum must understand that their actions will have the expected consequences. We can come into your homes, your businesses, and attack whenever and however we want without you being able to stop us. Get this through your heads. We take responsibility for the explosive device in the house of 2nd Lieutenant Evangelos Kaisis in Melissia, who was the head of the ΟΠΚΕ team, on 18/3/22, during the transfer of our comrade Fotis Tziotzi to the interrogation room, after his arrest for the bank expropriations in Athens this summer. This cop, after the adventure with the attempted snatching of his gun by the comrade that happened outside the interrogator’s office, ran to testify against the comrade, thus charging him with additional charges.

Try as you might, you will only succeed in strengthening the flame that burns within us for armed action against you. This is a small piece compared to what will follow, and you will lose sleep over it.

P.S. Ilisia. Thalia C. Kyriakides, interrogator. You may have been lucky this time, or we may have been unlucky that the explosive device did not explode in your apartment building, but next time it will be with bullets that will surely find their target.

STRENGTH AND FREEDOM TO ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS.

FIGHTING GREETINGS TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN THE PATH OF FREEDOM.

LET US ALL ATTACK TOGETHER.

Athens, Greece: Intervention at the Athens Bar Association for the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

Posted on 2022/06/01 by darknights

27-05-2022

This morning, comrades held an intervention at the Athens Bar Association in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis. A banner was hung from the floor, banners were thrown, and texts were distributed to inform about the comrade’s hunger strike.

“The comrade’s demand for his immediate release is a struggle to break the vindictive practice of preventive incarceration and acquires special weight because political prisoners, due to their political choices, are the frontline of the social – class war. The struggle of the comrade for his release is therefore not a narrow struggle that concerns him exclusively. It is a militant choice as a whole against a regime of exclusion arbitrarily and abusively imposed against any prisoner who has a decent attitude, but more specifically against the regime of exclusion against political prisoners, anarchists or communists. It is an integral part of the struggle for a world without prisons and barbed wire, without borders and concentration camps, without the plundering and destruction of the planet by the multinationals, without class exploitation, without rich and poor, without gender and racial oppression.

Berlin, Germany: Burning of Hertz truck – not only for hunger striker Michailidis

Posted on 2022/06/01 - 2022/06/01 by darknights

We use simple means to sabotage the enemy’s infrastructure. That the car rental company Hertz is an enemy became known not only after an attack on their branch* and further fires of their vehicle fleet in Athens. Not only the Greek police is equipped by Hertz with vehicles at preferential conditions, but also in other states active and former cops and military are supported according to self-advertisement.

Hertz is one of the companies that force the constant need for mobility. Everything and everyone must always be immediately available everywhere. Delivery services, rental vehicles and Uber now dominate traffic in cities. Along the way, they create data collections about moving things and people for the police’s tracing computers, Hertz also by filming drivers while they drive.

In the social war and in the war state against state, we stand flagless on the side of the oppressed against the oppressors and Hertz stands on the side of power, sometimes under the Greek flag in the jeeps of OPKE, sometimes under the US flag on the trucks of the National Guard or under the flag of capital on their vans, with which they profit in Germany from the compulsion of the citizens to constantly move to another place from expensive apartments.

On the night of May 25, we set fire to a Hertz truck in the northern Berlin district of Reinickendorf as a minimal sign of our solidarity for Giannis Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike in Malandrinos prison since May 23.

We also wish Lina, who has been in pre-trial detention for 18 months, much strength and freedom.

At the same time, our action is in the framework of similar acts around the world that burn to ashes everything that can be useful for the war.

… until the destruction of the last cage. (A)

Puerto Montt, Chile: Explosive attack against Special Forces police station + Revival of “Negra venganza. Nucleos de Melipulli Jose Huenante”

Posted on 2022/06/01 - 2022/06/01 by darknights

During the night of May 25 in the southern city of Puerto Montt, a roar shook the 8th Police Station of Special Forces, now renamed COP (Public Order Control) to clean up its image.

The explosion affected the police building located on Calle Deber Cumplido in Población Miramar.

The prosecutor of the area, Myriam Perez, ordered the concurrence of specialized personnel to the place, that is to say GOPE, Labocar and OS-9 personnel. For her part, Giovanna Moreira, presidential delegate of the Lo Lagos region confirmed the filing of a complaint, stating: “we will not tolerate violent actions that endanger people”.

The action was vindicated via email to different counter-information media by “Negra venganza. Núcleos de Melipulli Jose Huenante, responding to a call pointed out in a past attack against gendarmerie in December 2021.

Explosive attack to special forces police station in Melipulli (Puerto Montt).

We respond to the call of the comrades of the north ”The black vengeance”.

The night of MAY 25, 2022 we left an explosive surprise in the special forces police station of Melipulli (Puerto Montt).

Almost 17 years have passed since that night when they took Jose, a young settler with the last name of Huenante, a young Mapuche who was disappeared by the Chilean Carabineros.

Almost 17 years have passed and today in a gesture of memory and revenge we are attacking one of their hideouts.

We know that none of those involved in Jose’s disappearance work in this police station, but this is part of the nefarious institution, and this is reason enough to attack them, taking into account that those involved in Jose’s disappearance continue to swell the ranks of this institution.

This month has a special significance for those who choose the path of action and confrontation, in this BLACK MAY, we remember and embrace the memory of our comrade and brother Mauricio Morales.

We want to embrace the memory and coherence of comrade Luisa Toledo, who always stood by the side of those who choose the path of social war.

We salute the brothers and sisters of the Wallmapu who resist the attempts by the State to suffocate the insurrectional flame throughout the territory and stand up to extractivism and capital.

A fraternal embrace to Felipe Santana, to the Mapuche political prisoners, anarchists and subversives.

Against the advance of capitalism and the prison state.

For revenge and Anarchy.

Negra venganza.
