La Paz, Bolivia: Explosion against the bishops’ headquarters

Claim for the explosion against the headquarters of the Bolivian Episcopal Conference (CEB)

Reproduced via Spanish from anarquiainfo, 28 November 2021

—–

In the early hours of Wednesday 24 November, avoiding the numerous patrols in the area, and a few meters from a police car on guard, we placed and detonated a device against the entrance to the headquarters of the Bolivian Episcopal Conference (CEB), the highest authority of the Catholic Church in Bolivia.

This action speaks for itself. The aim was to damage the infrastructure of the CEB and send a clear message that the abuses of the Church will not go unchallenged. This is the only possible response to an institution that persists in torturing bodies to perpetuate its hypocritical morality.

Recently, once again, this institution forced an 11-year-old girl to give birth (1). They prolonged her rape pregnancy as long as they could. Every day that this child spent sequestered by the Bolivian archdiocese, under the duress of moral threats, is clearly a form of torture.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Intervention at MarCom tzelepoglou – Solidarity with Francisco Solar

Posted on 2021/11/25 - 2021/12/03 by darknights

On 24/11, an intervention took place, with leaflets and spray paint, at the company MarCom tzelepoglou, owned by the Chilean Consul, R. Tzelepoglou, as a minimal sign of solidarity with comrade F. Solar

“Prison is another point of struggle at the post-conflict level – the anti-authoritarian conflict is not over for me, it has just changed form”

-M. Caballero

24/7/20 in Chilean territory, anarchists Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar are arrested, accused of parcel-bombing. Specifically, for a bomb that exploded in the Huechuraba police station, leaving a cop seriously injured, – and one that was defused by the GOPE (operational police group), a bomb in the office of Rodrigo Hinzpeter, former minister and current manager of the Quiñenco company (one of Chile’s largest business groups), and finally, for planting two bombs in the Tánica building. Since 24/7, therefore, the comrades have been held in custody and have remained in the cells of the republic ever since.

In the first months of 2021, comrade F. Solar, along with other anarchist and subversive prisoners, participated in a hunger strike that lasted for more than 50 days, demanding the release of Marcelo Villarroel, and against the modification of Legislative Decree 321, while 11 years before, he had put his body as a mound in another hunger strike, for more than 60 days.

The serious health condition of the comrade, but also the expected indifference of the prison administration, led him on 22/09 to request further medical examinations, after an emergency hospitalization, where he was diagnosed with advanced diabetes (on the verge of a diabetic coma).

Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône (Bouches-du-Rhône), France: Attack on wind turbines

Posted on 2021/11/25 - 2021/11/25 by darknights

State speeches and the media show on climate change accompany and legitimize a new transformation of the technological system.
Diversifying and multiplying energy sources in order to perpetuate exploitation and control: revival of nuclear power, “solar farms”, “wind farms” to feed telework, robotics, the internet of things, electric cars…

One night at the end of October, while the newspapers were talking about COP26 and the energy crisis, we sabotaged three wind turbines of the Port Saint Louis du Rhône wind farm. After opening the ventilation grid, we set fire to the cables and electrical installations located below.

For direct action.

Toulouse, France: Unraveling the web

Posted on 2021/11/25 by darknights

19/11/2021

During the night of November 17 to 18 in Toulouse North district, 4 vans of a fiber optic installation company, burned.

The COP26 has just come to an end and the media debate is focused on the choice of a source of energy capable of making France sovereign and not appearing crude in terms of pollution. In this apocalyptic landscape, the expansion of broadband internet is at its peak and already announces a society where the state will need more and more energy to dematerialize the whole economy via internet. That’s why we tried to block the way to a company that installs fiber optics in businesses by setting their vehicles on fire.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Explosive attacks on 2 houses of assassins in uniform by Direct Action Cells – Organzation Anarchist Action

Posted on 2021/11/21 - 2021/11/25 by darknights

On 22 October, uniformed assassins of the DIAS, detect a stolen vehicle in the neighbourhoods of Piraeus and pursue it. At the same time that the vehicle is trapped and immobilized, surrounded by numerous and armored police forces, the cops raise their guns and shoot in cold blood with 38 bullets 18-year-old Nikos Sampanis. Typically brought into the arms of civil justice are 7 cops involved in the murder, who under the blessings and praise of the Minister of Uniformed Killers himself, Theodorikakos, are released. The operation is a complete success. Score – one dead for one stolen vehicle.

From propaganda to praxis

Justice is a revolutionary affair and comes like the Sword of Damocles on your heads. As a minimum first retaliation for the previously announced murder of Niko Sampani, we take responsibility for the explosive attacks with low-powered devices on the houses of two bounty hunters in uniform, Lefteris Gatos at 19 Graziou Street and Dimitrios Daggli at 45 Olympiad Street, in the early morning hours of November 15th in Thessaloniki. Our attacks took place a few hours after a new outrageous event came to light: the arrest of yet another uniformed man for indecent assault on his 4-year-old daughter. We had made it clear that nothing goes unanswered, let alone a murder. And while incidents of police brutality are increasing by the day, passive waiting is not one of our characteristics. We go on the offensive again by publicly stating that as of today the bounty list has 19 more unpunished scumbags (with no guarantee that the above two will not be re-targeted in the future).

To cut the laughter…

Last July, we proceeded to put a public bounty on 21 hired killers of the Greek Police, showing you a small but not insignificant sample of our own factionalism in the face of your impunity. And we saw the fear and terror in your eyes when you took Tsairidis from channel to channel crying and begging justice for protection. A few months later, our deeds complement our words. As long as you are unpunished, you are unprotected. History itself has shown that murderers and torturers will always meet the punishing hand of revolutionary violence, of true justice. That is why our attacks on the political descendants of the junta’s torturers, a few hours before the anniversary of the ’73 uprising, are a tribute to the memory of the dead of the Polytechnic.

#ShutDownCanada: Tire Fires on Tracks (Montreal, Canada)

Posted on 2021/11/21 - 2021/11/21 by darknights

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info

This morning in Montreal, two tire fires were lit on the CN railway tracks in the neighbourhood of Pointe-St-Charles, at the choke-point of the train yard exit.

Care was taken to ensure there was no risk of derailment. A long straightaway location was chosen, and timing was based on the first scheduled Via passenger train of the morning. As the train approached, an individual stepped onto the track waving two road flares. When the train came to a stop, tires that had previously been filled with cotton towels were placed onto both tracks. They were then doused in gasoline, and the road flares were tossed in from a safe distance to light them up. The action was quick and easy, required few people, and ensured the train was able to stop and not hit the items placed on the tracks. Rail service was interrupted for at least two hours.

We acted in solidarity with the Gidimt’en Clan, who yesterday faced a raid for defending their land, water, and sovereignty. We cannot allow this RCMP action to go unanswered. For every highway blockade, a railway signaling box torched. For every RBC branch deprived of its windows, an RCMP vehicle up in smoke. For every railway blockade, a pipeline valve site sabotaged. All our solidarity with the land and water defenders on the Yintah, let’s answer their calls to shut shit down!

Saint-Mandé (Val-de-Marne), France : A car of the municipal police on fire

Posted on 2021/11/21 - 2021/11/21 by darknights

Sunday evening we were walking towards Saint-Mandé and we came across a silk-screened car of the municipal police of Kremlin-Bicêtre. Parked there, in a street apart (rue de l’amiral Courbet), quiet. The only thing missing was the red carpet. Neither one nor two, we went to look for firelighters, and shortly after the keufmobile already started to burn!

There are many reasons to attack a police force. They are so obvious that one might think that these lines are unnecessary. There is not a week that goes by without cops getting stoned in a poor neighborhood. Besides, everyone hates the police!

But we are not “everybody”. Among this “everybody” there are people who ask for truth and justice (as if the role of the police in this world was not obvious and as if we could get justice from the state). There are people who want a more democratic police force or who hate it because it prevents them from doing their business or driving fast.

On our side we want the end of all authority, of the state and of capitalist exploitation. We are not mere factors of disorder among others. Besides, this famous disorder is only a means perhaps (and to consider it too much as a necessary presupposition of freedom we arrive at a kind of historical determinism, as if the present world produced all by itself the contradictions which should lead to its overcoming…), but we think that the individual will is much more important to tend towards freedom.

This is why we continue to say loud and clear long live anarchy!

We take this opportunity to send a hug of solidarity to the companions recently repressed in Italy.

Freedom for Alfredo and Michele! (without forgetting Anna and Juan)

Freedom for all!

Vienna, Austria: Charging stations destroyed

Posted on 2021/11/21 - 2021/11/21 by darknights

Charging stations destroyed in the 2nd and 20th districts

Recently, two more charging stations for electric cars were burned down, in Lorenz-Müllergasse and Karajangasse.

We think that all cars are a pain in the ass, including electric cars, even if they are supposed to make us believe in a better future.
They consume new resources and serve above all the economy and the rich, who thus give themselves a good conscience!

Our anger is great – let it express itself on these objects, which are easy targets!

District of Saint-Etienne, France: Coordinated attack against three cell towers

Posted on 2021/11/16 - 2021/11/16 by darknights

In the night of November 2nd to 3rd 2021, we led a coordinated attack against three cell towers around Saint-Etienne by setting them on fire.
(And not one, as the media tried to make believe!)

This cut off telephone communications and momentarily interrupted the dependency that the techno-world needs to survive.

(We could take as an example the Thales arms factory in the neighboring town or the 80.000 people deprived of telephones for the week but there are many others…)

We did not want to attack only a new aspect of technology (5G), but to assert our hostility against this company as a whole.

Long live the revolt
Long live fire
And long live more waterproof K-ways!
