Turin, Italy: Claim of incendiary attack on a telecommunications cell tower in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end

Claim of incendiary attack on a telecommunications cell tower in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike to the bitter end (Turin, Jan. 28, 2023)

DIRECT ACTION AGAINST TELEPHONE REPEATERS FOR ALFREDO AGAINST 41 BIS

On the night of 27.01 to 28.01, we attacked a cell tower with fire and with immense pleasure, in response to the international call to action in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito (from 22.01 to 28.01). Alfredo has been on hunger strike since 20.10 against 41 BIS and hostile life imprisonment.

On that night we arrived, with a smile on our faces, in the woods of the Turin hillside, increasingly cemented by the presence of the rich and infested with numerous repeaters, sources of innumerable harmfulness, both environmentally and socially.
Attacking a repeater used by IREN (a company that also operates some incinerators in Italy), WIND (one of the promoters of 5G/civilian and military use and artificial intelligence), private surveillance companies and the police, was the least we could do.

This is our small but confrontational and determined contribution to the struggle that is being carried out with great courage and firmness by our comrade Alfredo.

Last November 3, in Grugliasco (To), someone thought well of damaging a 4/5G antenna; we only continued in the same direction with further precision and with the will to sabotage that daily “normality” indifferent to the violence that power carries out every day.

The current hypersupervising and invasive technological society is creating a hyper-connected and digitized world that does not want to give a chance to those who resist and those who do not want to become accomplices of an energy-intensive system aimed at infinite production capable only of creating death and devastation in every part of the moribund globe.

Our enemy, the state, always thinks that by repressing one of us, it can intimidate a thousand; but now is the time to make them understand, once and for all, that their calculations sometimes do not add up.
It is time to consolidate certain practices (the direct actions) that not a few individualities have put in place in recent months. It is time to continue in that direction with additional strength and new forward momentum, without hesitation or fear.

It has been a long time since there have been numerous sabotage of 4/5G antennas and fiber optic installations in France (from 01.01.2022 to 30.10.2022 there are more than 104), as well as direct actions against some wind farms. Even in “our” territories, where the natural and animal world is increasingly domesticated, enslaved and musealized, it is time to raise our heads and act firmly, lucidly and precisely. If not now when?

With your head, with your heart, with your hands, alongside Alfredo and all the people who do not give up.

DESTROY TO CREATE
CREATE TO DESTROY

DEATH TO THE STATE!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Voltaggio, Italy: ‘HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!’ Relay Antennas sabotage in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!

This increasingly pervasive and intrusive society is now entirely illuminated by the beacon of science, and it treads, step by step, the path indicated by it.
This light is not only nefarious but is leading us toward a point of no return, toward a deadly precipice.
Although this is well known, it is also pointedly reiterated by scientists and members of the political class themselves.
In a speech a few months ago, the former minister of ecological transition, Cingolani, said that every “breakthrough” procures more problems than it solves, but that nonetheless it is progress and therefore we must move forward.
This “moving forward” translates into the “green” model.
Everything is or must become green: green economy, green nuclear power plants, green technology to which the digital revolution belongs.
It is yet another transformation of society, no longer political as at the time of the French Revolution, nor economic as in the various restructurings of the capitalist model, but techno-scientific.
The various sectors of the capitalist economy either adapt or disappear, and politics supinely carries out the various impositions dictated by science.
The current transformation has certainly taken advantage of three major opportunities that have come its way: climate change, covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.

– Climate change, in the public eye, has led millions of people to demonstrate and thus bring attention to our society’s environmental impact on the planet.
Since very few are actually inclined to radically change their lifestyles, but want to enjoy all the comforts they are accustomed to, their protests are already a blunt weapon from the start. The power system has found in this a nice proposal to renew itself by initiating the so-called “ecological transition,” which consists of a major restructuring of the way of producing energy (renewable sources) and consumer products that are more “sustainable,” that is, with less environmental impact, thus killing three birds with one stone.

THE FIRST political: thus dampening the protests and making it clear that the voice of the governed is close to the hearts of the rulers; one never knows that these, despite the reigning social peace, if unheeded will not seriously disturb the sleep of the masters.

THE SECOND economic: a profit opportunity for companies that can launch new products on the market and by appearing “friendly” to the environment, attract to themselves a slice of new consumers and consequently new earnings.

THE THIRD scientific: the chance to experiment, research in hitherto untrodden fields and further increase their influence on living things.

– The covid-19 has given a strong impetus to medical science, which by appealing to fear and a desire for a return to “normality” has in fact imposed compulsory vaccination without, moreover, waiting for the necessary testing time of a serum before it can be “safe”; a testing on billions of individuals.
Not only to medical science but also to technical applications to monitor and card all those people refractory to the vaccine. The various green passes and permits to be able to travel or work could not be effective without widespread control of individuals, control made possible by the increasingly new and invasive technological apparatuses.

Milan, Italy: Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack against some Enjoy cars, Eni’s car sharing service, in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, by Bande Anarchiche – Nucleo Guerriglia (January 30, 2023)

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

Enijoy car fires in Milan

On the night of January 30th, several Enijoy cars were damaged with fire in response to Alfredo’s transfer from Sassari prison to that of Milan. This is the first action claimed, but not the first carried out, by the BANDE ANARCHICHE – NUCLEO GUERRIGLIA [‘Anarchist Bands – Guerrilla Nucleus’]. One of our comrades will die at the hands of the state, it’s our turn to take the leap. Fire to the prisons.

Santiago, Chile: Gathering outside the Embassy of Italy

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

After more than 100 days of hunger strike of comrade Alfredo Cospito against the brutal isolation regime of 41 bis in Italian prisons, on February 3, 2023 about fifty people gathered in a rally outside the Italian embassy to make palpable the internationalist solidarity.
From Chilean prisons anarchist and subversive prisoners began on January 31 a hunger strike in solidarity with Alfredo’s strike. In this context, despite the heavy police presence, which included water cannons and gas, they managed to break through the walls guarding the representatives of the Italian government, the same government that is currently plotting Alfredo’s assassination behind bars.
Banners, pamphlets, stickers, scratches and shouts flooded the streets around the Italian embassy, and then headed towards the Chilean-Italian cultural institute a few blocks away.
Alfredo out of 41 bis!
Stop the murder of Alfredo by the Italian State!
Subversive prisoners and anarchists to the streets!

$hile: Urgent words in the face of an extinguishing flame. Written by Mónica Caballero in response to Alfredo Cospito’s hunger strike.

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

I have had the pleasure of reading the words of comrades from different territories, who showed their fervent solidarity with the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito, to get out of the torture regime of 41 bis. In these lands a group of subversive, anarchist, anti-authoritarian, anti-speciesist and nihilist prisoners also expressed our unconditional solidarity with the comrade. To fraternize with a comrade as valuable as Alfredo, and even more so in the difficult moment he is going through, is a necessity for those of us who position ourselves as negators and antagonists to the current life governed by authority. Sending words of solidarity from prison to a like-minded comrade is never too much.

In my case, when I have received words of solidarity from a comrade while imprisoned, I have always valued and treasured them as something very precious. But at this moment comrade Alfredo Cospito needs words to be transformed into actions, to attack, coerce, subvert, manipulate, threaten, etc. To all those who have the power to change his prison situation and/or who sustain the 41 bis regime.

Alfredo’s situation is no longer preoccupying and has become urgent. The matter is simple, if Cospito’s request is not granted, he will die and there are not too many days left if he continues his hunger strike.

To make the decision and carry out a mobilization such as a hunger strike, has many difficulties, your struggle is in multiple scenarios, on the one hand you have a whole repressive and judicial framework with several tools that bet on dissuading you to stop the strike, on the other hand there is your own survival instinct, your own body!

Bolzano, Italy: Statement at the appeal trial for the Brenner demonstration

Posted on 2023/02/08 by darknights

Today, Feb. 3, the last hearing prior to sentencing in the appeal trial for the anti-border march (Brenner, May 2016) was held at the Bolzano court. This is the statement read in the courtroom, signed by some 20 defendants:

Statement at the appeal trial for the Brenner demonstration

If there is a place where words do not express mere opinions without consequences, this is certainly the court. In a few days, in this courtroom, it will be decided whether and for how long our future will consist of bars and prison.

This is no reason to keep silent.

In the repressive doggedness that the various public prosecutors’ offices in this country have long reserved for the anarchist movement – of which the 130 years in prison dispensed in the first-degree verdict in this trial is a good example -, in these days it is reaching its zenith. The state seems determined to condemn to death fellow anarchist Alfredo Cospito, now on his 107th day of an all-out hunger strike against the torture of 41 bis and against hostile life imprisonment. Alfredo’s determination, on the one hand, and institutional ferocity, on the other, decisively overshadow for us the outcome of this trial and our individual fates.

In a country marked by a long trail of real massacres carried out by state apparatuses with the manpower of neo-fascists-this is not only a historical truth, but even a judicial one-, to be convicted of “political massacre” are … two anarchists (Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino), for “a massacre without massacre attributed without evidence.” The most odious falsification of the anarchist idea and practice, taking Alfredo to the grave for living of 41 bis.

If this is the logic, then 130 years in prison can be doled out for a demonstration that caused, according to the same prosecution, 8,000 euros in damages. Consistency, as they say, is in the whole.

While there is talk of the Constitution, the rule of law and peace, reality tells us that the democratic governments of the West are leading us straight toward conflict with Russia, that is, on an inclined plane at the bottom of which is World War III, with the accompanying annihilation of terrestrial life.

The fury against dissent in general and against anarchists in particular is the home front of that war. The 41 bis is prison of war.

That is why Alfredo’s great courage and the solidarity he was able to muster are so frightening. They are part of that humanity that will never side with NATO bombs, just as our comrades in Russia do not side with Putin’s bombs.

While it is up to you to choose whether to join the chorus of repression that is nowadays more disproportionate, our thoughts and hearts are with Alfredo.

$hile: Words of Mawünhko and Tomás from prison in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/02/03 by darknights

Alfredo, today the weight of a mountain is trying to knock you down. We wonder how many times a day you struggle with your own mind. You have let us know the strength of your convictions, your body is emaciated, yet you have said it yourself “I will let myself die. My body is the last protest.”
Dangerous and highly contagious is your essence, every day in prison we think of you. A mighty forest dwells in your mind and only untamed spirits lurk in it.

Undecipherable to the powerful is your inexhaustible source of subversion. Until the last of your days you will continue your battle, from a small, dark cell, without communication, only with yourself. But in the dimension of your thoughts with your most beautiful memories, with each of your battles pumping through your veins, strengthening each millenary tree that stands in that forest.
A labyrinth with no exit is your mind for the slaughterers, for us a sweet and pleasant passage that you have let us visit, feel, observe…

For the end of the 41bis regime! Active solidarity with Alfredo Cospito!
Fire to all the prisons of the world!

Mawünhko, from San Miguel prison.
Tomás, from Santiago 1 prison.

$hile: Communiqué of anti-speciesist prisoners for the Susaron case in solidarity with the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/02/03 - 2023/02/03 by darknights

With these words that carry the ballast of the innocuous, and the impotence of not being able to embrace you with exorbitant roars and hypnotic, nameless, denying flames, which cross continents and borders.
We sit down to write from our cages with a deep sense of pain, rage and fraternal admiration.
The machinery of global domination considers you so dangerous and unyielding that they have made it a priority to slice away the most threatening portion of your existence. Your zest for life, your pride, joy and lucidity. Because they fear. Because you managed to represent an indomitable threat that was never diluted in words.

From the state captivity of Santiago, Chile. We shout with the brutality of a thousand floods!
Down with the regime of torture and annihilation 41 bis!!!! 98 days of hunger strike!!!
We shout from continent to continent: Resist brother, here on the other side of this pestilent world you have warriors attentive to your steps.
We never waited for the conciliatory venia with the enemy for the resolution of our battles and necessities. And we will not do so now.
May the gestures of rampant audacity make the ground vibrate and the streets of the entire globe dominated by the machinery of subjugation burn with fire!
Until we get Alfredo out of this adverse situation, and overthrow that hideous psychopathic regime called 41bis.

ALFREDO COSPITO TO THE STREET!!!
TOGETHER WITH ALL THE PRISONERS OF THE SOCIAL-ANTISOCIAL WAR ALL OVER THE PLANET.
FIRE TO ALL THE PRISONS FOR HUMANS AND NON-HUMANS. WITH THEIR JAILERS INSIDE.

VEGAN STRAIGHT EDGE PRISONERS, SUSARON CASE.

Berlin, Germany: For the 100th Hunger Strike Day, an Italian diplomatic vehicle burns

Posted on 2023/02/03 by darknights

We support the idea of decentralized actions and therefore follow the call for action week from the American South, which supports the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito. Communication through actions and texts is an important approach to build an informal network.

With the attack on the Italian diplomatic corps in the German capital, with the targeted fire against the car number 3 of the embassy, we participate in the week of action. It was parked in Schöneberg at Barbarossa-Platz and belonged to Luigi Estero, the first Consigliere.
This act of revolutionary violence is aimed directly at those responsible for everyday brutal oppression. We want that the civil servants, the judges, the policemen, the politicians and the diplomats not have a quiet life – that they feel unsafe and that they cannot sleep in peace.
Because they are the ones who commit the political massacres, not the exploited, the oppressed or the anarchists. Blood is on the hands of the German and Italian elites who, to give just one example, use the so-called Libyan Coast Guard to murder thousands of migrants, those people who are supposed to exploit their bodies and the soil of their homeland at the lowest prices for the insane capitalism of Europe.

It is a good result that now the Italian Foreign Minister is thinking about increasing the security measures for his embassy staff. We advocate their total isolation. We send a conspiratorial wink at this point to the compas in Barcelona, who had a similar idea, breaking the windows of the Italian consulate there that same night.

Isolation switches sides. While fear grips the rulers, an idea materializes in the deeds of the anarchist movement. Alfredo Cospito is very close – real and alive – and so there is also a closeness among all the other insurgents in the jails and streets.

We salute them all and we are also especially happy to see the expansion of the attacks on forces of order, parties and corporations in Berlin.
Solidarity with Anna Beniamino, Ivan Alocco, Aldo and Lucas Hernández Valdés, Toby Shone and all the prisoners in the torture chambers of the 41 bis regime.

Freedom for all!
