Athens,Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attacks on 2 stores by Proletarian Cell

Posted on 2021/08/01 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson attacks on 2 stores owned by the General Secretariat for Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, in vuronas area , as well as in the house of the Vice President of Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator ΔΕΔΔΗΕ.

CAPITALISTIC RESTRUCTURING AGAINST THE HEALTH CRISIS

The government of N.D. , strategically choosing the repressive management of the pandemic, has launched a violent class and social attack on youth and the world of work, which aims at the collapse of rights and conquests, but also the wider restructuring of the capitalist state.

In a time of global capitalist and health crisis, the government has created a bleak environment of insecurity and fear. Like all previous governments it tried to abdicate its criminal responsibilities for dismantling the public health system, leaving them to the “individual responsibility” of each and every one.

But really, who is responsible for the thousands of dead in the pandemic? Who is responsible for the non-existent protection measures in the workplace? When were measures taken or large industries closed? Who is responsible for stacking the poor on public transport? Who is responsible for the fact that private ICU beds were not ordered, at the same time as our fellow human beings were dying on trollies in the hospital corridors? Who has been served by the government’s policy of opening borders to tourists, if not the tourist lobbies? Who is responsible for the sharp rise in drugs and psychotropic drugs, as well as domestic violence during the lockdown period? What politics is sinking more and more people into dependencies, unable to cope with the daily deadlocks of capitalist everyday life?

Even during the period of hard lockdown, the government, instead of giving funds for the staffing of the public health system, preferred to give huge sums to rulers to reproduce the dominant propaganda, as well as equipment to the police and the NATO imperialist mechanism. At Chrysochoidis’ (Minister for Citizen Protection of Greece ) command, thousands of recruits were made and hundreds of vehicles, motorbikes, armour, technological equipment were purchased, in order to strengthen the mastiffs of capital and its state, in the logic of precautionary counter-insurgency and social-class resistance.

This repressive management is made clear both by the bans and arrests made in the mobilisations of November 17 and December 6, and by the extreme repressive attack on the demonstrations for the hunger strike of the political prisoner D. Koufontinas, the repression of the student occupations in Athens and Thessaloniki, the beating and torture of militants, the criminalization of political action through the banning of demonstrations, the imposition of fines and the creation of a misdemeanor for the dispersal of COVID-19.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson attack on the house of Giannis Pretenteris by Direct Action Cells – Insurgent Violence Cell

Posted on 2021/08/01 - 2021/08/02 by darknights

Within the framework of the Direct Action Cells, as a Cell of Insurgent Violence, we take responsibility for the arson attack at the entrance of the house of Giannis Pretenteris.

We were not surprised by the condemnations of the bourgeois political parties, the ESIEA (Athens Daily Newspaper Editors’ Union), the government representative. Giannis Pretenteris has proved on every possible occasion that he is the most loyal watchdog of the corrupt economic and political elite that has been ruling this country with arrogance and impunity for all these years. Pretenderis symbolises a person – a role model for the bourgeois world. His position in the system, the posts and the tasks he has been called upon to carry out follow a double path that ends up on the same road.

The first one that makes his appearance in front of the cameras of the television channels. Fancy, dominant, powerful, subsidized, manufactured. Pretenteris is a shining example of a tireless propaganda machine called upon to represent state and capitalist interests and to shape a social ethic, the ethic of the system. This morality that always presents itself in the imperious guise of the social majority, in order to strike with the stick of the dominant class violence and to order with impudence – using techniques of psychological warfare – those who harm the interests of the powerful. Spreading fake news, constant attempts to manipulate citizens, slander, character assassination are on his daily agenda. At the same time, its ideological profile, which can be described as “modernist” in the standards of the hard neoliberal centre, is the official television representation of political power and the most unscrupulous economic interests. For Pretenteris there is one unbreakable rule: Whatever suits and serves the power system that supports him is ethical and legal. Whatever threatens its interests is illegal and arbitrary.

Pretenteris’ other path is dark. It is that of shady dealings with political and economic interests, of willing brokering all kinds of state and parastatal dirty tricks, of well-paid under-the-table deals on where to provide his required political support. It is the route of a loyal courtier who has pitched his tent outside the villas of the big business tycoons, the media owners, the contractors, the big political families, waiting with excessive servility for their dictates. The route of black money, offshore, extensive tax evasion, the mafia-like operations of the system that are laundered with no compensation by appointed journalists like Pretenderis.

Giannis Pretenteris, as a stooge of Lambrakis and Bobolas, made his first appearances on private television, on ANT1. He was one of the first to give voice and political legitimacy to the nazis of Golden Dawn in the 1990s, calling out Nikos Michaloliakos and giving the floor to Periandros Andritsopoulos and other henchmen of the then Golden Dawn to drip their Neo-Nazi poison in public. After all, when it serves state planning, bourgeois democracy reproduces its version of political pluralism and tolerance. Of course, as long as the opposing voice has given credentials of allegiance to the state and the capitalists that the deep core of their interests will remain untouched.

Giannis Pretenteris quickly jumps to MEGA1, while writing for the then Lambrakis-owned print press (VIMA, NEA2). He becomes a key commentator on the main newscast and has his own political show. His tireless insistence on the ideological and political defence of every act of state violence, every economic and political scandal, turns him and his show into a slogan shouted in the streets of the cities by the student movement fighting against the then Diamantopoulou law3 – framework: “Subversion is not a show, Pretraderis die to make a celebration”. Pretenteris had deservedly earned the dislike of those involved in social – political demands, as everyone was ground down by his propaganda millstone.

Alongside his daily defence of the memoranda and the policies being pursued in that period, he was again one of the first to give a television voice to the racist “residents’ committees”4, so that the racist poison found a response in the armies of the newly deprived of the crisis. We are sure that in May 2012 Pretenteris was looking at the election results with pride. He had contributed the most to the 7% of Golden Dawn, as the shipowner who now has him on his pay roll at IOM (International Organisation for Migration) also wished.

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the company Sodexo + Claim by the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”

Posted on 2021/07/25 - 2021/07/25 by darknights

Missed from 01/06/2021

On May 11, at 9:00 p.m., unknown persons arrive on a bicycle at Pérez Valenzuela and Antonio Bellet, in the Providencia district, where a building of the SODEXO food concessionaire is located.

After leaving a suspicious package, they quickly escape, and a few minutes later there is a loud explosion that destroys part of the windows of the building.

GOPE, Labocar and the South Prosecutor’s Office arrived in the area to investigate the attack, which left no injuries, only material damage.

Claim of the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”.

OUR COMMON MINIMUM: INSURRECTIONAL ACTION

Since March 22 different subversive and anarchist prisoners have been on hunger strike to demand the repeal of Legislative Decree 321, the freedom of comrade Marcelo Villarroel and the prisoners of the revolt. In this scenario of anti-prison struggle we point out:

1. During the night of Black May 11 and prior to the curfew we detonated an explosive device in front of the SODEXO company for its responsibility in the daily misery that tortures thousands of prisoners in the prisons of the Chilean democracy. SODEXO is in charge of the concession of the prisons of Antofagasta, Iquique, La Serena, Rancagua and El Manzano. The joint work between Gendarmeria, the Chilean State-Police and private capital make up a triad that evidences the lucrative business of the prison-companies, annihilating the dignity of the prison population according to their economic interests and the social order of the rich and powerful.

2. We affectionately salute the comrades who carried out a hunger strike for 50 days, demonstrating that the combative prison is a tool of resistance to prison submission, while spreading the germ of action in the streets. It is vital to maintain a rhythm of combat that accompanies the processes of intra-prison mobilization, understanding that the struggle for the liberation of our prisoners and their conditions of confinement is a long and relentless one.

3. In a context of police and military control the attack is possible, it only depends on our will and will to fight. In this sense, the discourse that all revolutionary action is assembly only affects the fighting spirit of those who organize and stand up with dignity against the enemy, devaluing a history of struggle that advances with hundreds of comrades imprisoned, wounded and dead. If we do not believe in our capacities the construction of a new world will only be a chimera, we call to organize the attack in all territories and realities.

4. In this Black May we remember our comrade Mauricio Morales who 12 years ago died in action trying to attack the Gendarmerie School. The memory is kept burning in the streets and in the multiform action, only those who forget die.

WE CELEBRATE THE OFFENSIVE AND SABOTAGE IN THE WALLMAPU!
WE SALUTE THE REVOLT IN THE COLOMBIAN TERRITORY!
TO RETAKE THE STREETS TO CRUSH THE ENEMY AND REFORMISM!
THIS WEEKEND TO VOTE IS TO VALIDATE THE PACT OF THE POLITICAL CLASS AND TO
TO BARGAIN ON THE SPILLED BLOOD!

By anarchy we will win, in autonomy we will live.

Basel, Switzerland: Fire protection cars can also burn

Posted on 2021/07/23 by darknights

For a truck of the company Contrafeu, subsidiary of Securitas, we have made an autonomous fire appraisal in the night of 22.07.. As expected, the result was satisfactory.

Securitas participates in and profits from the surveillance, control and violence against refugees who are detained or forcibly “housed” in federal camps, asylum camps and deportation prisons such as the “Bässlergut” camp in Basel. The control and monitoring of the urban space also falls within the scope of the so-called security company. This is nothing more than prettier words for terror, sanctioning and control of people who are not or do not want to be a silent productive part of the capitalist, racist Swiss normal state.

Those who provide personnel and/or infrastructure to exercise violence and oppression need not wonder about the self-empowerment of those who do not want to accept this contempt for humanity.

In this sense:
For more beacons of solidarity!
For a world without borders and prisons!
Down with the fortress of Europe!
Greetings and solidarity to all those affected by repression and state violence.

Volos, Greece: Explosive attack at the AGET factory by Direct Action Cell ‘Vassilis Maggos’

Posted on 2021/07/23 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

ACTION REPLACES TEARS

In the early morning of Sunday 18/7, we attacked, placing an incendiary device on the transformers of the transformer of the power substation of AGET, located inside the factory. We proceeded with this action, thus paying tribute to our comrade Vassilis Maggos, exactly one year after his death. We do not forget and will not forgive the perpetrators of his beating and torture. The AGET plant is a scourge for the city of Volos, condensing the rage of the institutions of power against the environment and the society of Volos. They are the moral perpetrators of last year’s events that led to the death of our comrade, and this will not be forgotten until we see the ashes and ruins of the factory. In this context, we have offered several litres of petrol and many flames to those who daily give cancer to an entire city. The system has concealed the action because it feels and is vulnerable, confirming to us that fear has begun to change sides. It is everyone’s business to take life into our own hands in militant terms.

Tears for Vassili will become their nightmares.

And even if we never win we will always fight!

Greece: Public denunciation of the paid mafiosa of the state and the bosses by Organisation Anarchist Action

Posted on 2021/07/22 - 2021/07/22 by darknights

Make them all pay dearly | Pay for everything

We refuse to be spectators to our own demise. We refuse to accept vulgarity and the degredation of values as a condition of life. The end of history belongs to those who surrender their weapons. For us, on the contrary, history is written only through the persistent struggle of social subversion. Loyalty and commitment to the path of intolerance and rupture with the status quo. In this struggle, we must mobilise every means to build up our social and class defences. Where everyone is silent and abstaining, it is a revolutionary duty not just to speak but to act. Silence is a position of complicity in every state crime. And we have already lost too many for defiant silence.

All the vulgarity of democracy finds flesh and blood in the security forces

The repugnant immorality of the known family that runs our lives is mirrored in the blank check that has been given to the uniformed killers to take back the blood and lost honor of the right for years of absence from the big chair. Constant beatings and torture by the uniformed trash, abusive behaviour and vulgar looks at anyone who walks by every stale cop, arrests, imprisonment, rape, torture, deaths in police stations, prisons and concentration camps and a list of criminal actions by the Greek Police that has no end. In this condition impunity is not just negligence. It is a desecration of the memory of those who were tortured, abused and murdered by uniformed hands.

Greek-Police-Greek-Rapists

If some of us are no longer with us, because the patriarchy has seen to it that they are buried in the ground, we ought to be their cry seeking revenge. Revenge for every one of our lost sisters. For every one who was abused, raped, tortured, murdered by the men next door. For each and every one that when her case came to light and fell into the dirty hands of bourgeois justice, the cops made sure to repeat the same torture. To question the testimonies of the witnesses, to disregard the complaints, to not intervene while observing protocol, to turn a blind eye. Why? Because, quite simply, it is the cops who legally control the trafficking of locals and immigrant women, the drug trade and every other illegal activity that feeds violence and death. The rapists, sex traffickers, drug dealers and every other piece of trash are also part of their own cohorts who will willingly find protection under the uniformed wing.

To the uniformed scum, Karolain’s killer is a fool (per Balaska), not because he took a woman’s life but because he didn’t weigh his defense better so that he could get out in 4-5 years citing a crime in the heat of passion and go on with his life unmolested. For the years of pleading experience in similar cases in the central torture of the GADA Headquaters of the Greek Police), a convincing tale was enough anyway to acquit the Greek wife-killer and a Georgian arrested man who, it cannot be, would confess after 4 days of torture even to a murder he has not committed. For the uniformed scum the sanctuary of the home is a sacred commodity as it was religiously observed in Petralona throughout the rape and torture of a 50 year old working woman for 9 long hours until a search warrant came with the rapist having his whole life ahead of him to go up in smoke. A few hours later the police presence was swift and suffocating as hundreds of solidarity workers rushed to fill the streets to highlight the incident, actively standing by the working woman’s side. And just when everything seems to be going their way yet another incident shocks the nation: a uniformed scum held hostage, raped and extorted a 19-year-old girl for a month, with the indiscriminate Internal Affairs officials having full knowledge by covering up an entire pimping ring and proceeding to detain-interrogate the victim for long hours rather than providing her obvious and immediate medical and mental health care. We ask for neither transparency nor respect for the law, although we accept the necessity for a woman to resort to the tools of civil law to defend her life and integrity. From the position we are in and the choices of militant resistance we have made, we have an absolute duty to highlight the true dimension of the problem and seek revenge for the loss of each of our sisters. The Greek Police is nothing more than a gang of pimps, rapists, torturers and murderers who hide behind the facade of legality, order and security. But none of us have ever felt safe in the hands of cops. Continue reading “Greece: Public denunciation of the paid mafiosa of the state and the bosses by Organisation Anarchist Action” →

Paris: Enedis van on fire

Posted on 2021/07/22 - 2021/07/22 by darknights

Enemies of the authority feel more and more the need to attack the electricity distribution network, an indispensable part of this society.

The power stations are difficult to reach (for the time being. But maybe in the future…) but recently there have been nice attempts to sabotage power stations.

It is the whole empire of EDF, based on nuclear power (70% of the electricity produced in France comes from nuclear power plants) that should be hit continuously, everywhere.

As a small contribution to the fight against this cold monster that fills its pocket by providing energy to this company that enslaves us we made a small surprise to one of the companies of the EDF group.

During the night of July 17th to 18th we set fire to a van of Enedis, rue des Pyrénées, behind Père Lachaise.

You can find them everywhere, burning them is easy!

A thought for all the people who fight against the authority, the exploitation and the devastation of the nature.

without faith nor law, nor Pass

PS: about the fight against nuclear power our thoughts go to Alfredo, Italian anarchist prisoner: happy birthday!

Chile: Mapuche zone ignites after the murder of Pablo Marchant [update]

Posted on 2021/07/22 by darknights

In the south of Chile, a section of the Mapuche population has been waging a fierce struggle for many years against the large landowners (burning down their villas and occupying their land) as well as against agro-forestry operators, large hydro-electric dams and intensive salmon farms. It was in this context that Pablo Marchant Gutiérrez was murdered on Friday 9 July in Carahue during an attack on the vehicles of the company Forestal Mininco (a subsidiary of the cellulose giant CMPC).

The 29-year-old former anthropology student, who later joined the Mapuche struggle through CAM (Coordinadora Arauco Malleco), was participating in the burning of a minibus, a skidder and a tanker at around 5pm on the Santa Ana-Tres Palos estate when he was shot in the head at close range by carabinieri charged with protecting the interests of the loggers. Another saboteur and an employee were also wounded by bullets in the exchange of fire, and the public prosecutor’s office was quick to speculate that the bullet that sent the latter to hospital came from the M16 held by Pablo Marchant.

For its part, the CAM immediately made public the fact that Pablo had been shot by a carabiniere during a sabotage action carried out by one of its local groups (Órgano de Resistencia Territorial, ORT), the one called Lafkenche-Leftraru, thus becoming a Mapuche fighter (weichafe) who had fallen during the struggle. His body was accompanied the next day by 300 people from the Temuco Forensic Institute to the municipality of Lumaco, where a vigil for his body (feretro) will be held until Tuesday 13 July, the day of his burial.

The announcement of the assassination naturally triggered angry demonstrations the following Sunday from Santiago to Antofagasta, as well as numerous roadblocks, gunfire against carabinieri or landowners’ guards, and incendiary attacks by other radical Mapuche groups in several different regions (Biobío, La Araucanía and Los Ríos). Far from seeking justice from the murderous state, the latter immediately set about keeping Pablo Marchant’s ideas alive by attacking companies that exploit water or the forest throughout Mapuche territory.
