Athens, Greece: ‘Why burn SPEEDEX?’, Claim for arson attack on vehicles of SPEEDEX by ‘Anarchist Threat’

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson of vehicles (vans/trucks) that were outside the SPEEDEX store in Botanico on the morning of November 27.

With this text we do not wish to present a bulletin of analysis of the daily misery but we want it to be part of the promotional insurrectionary material. The attack on the capitalist mechanism and its little pieces of shit is at a crucial point since we are reaching again a socio-political, economic crisis that comes to neutralize with precision, the increasing impoverishment, unemployment, high rents, repression, the bottom-up. In this dystopian present the judicial ”greatness” hand in hand with the politicians and all kinds of state self-immolators bail out and acquit rapists, murderers (see Korkoneas/Zack case) while imprisoning, convicting and repressing struggling and marginalized people. The tragedy of the reality we live in has no end and everyone is quietly watching as uninvolved spectators, ‘rebelling’ media-wise (We will not make our criticism of these individuals who maintain and perpetuate a liberal democratic world in this text).

We dedicate this action to the courier delivery workers who in the Covid years experienced a unique labour misery, carrying on their backs the insane needs of all the petty bourgeois and non, who in an effort not to be bored, ignoring the possibility of breaking the measures and working conditions in the sweatshops of the Hellenic Post, General Postal Services, ACS, followed to the letter the dictates of the capitalist system: CONSUME-CONSUME-CONSUME. In an empty city for 1.5 years the courier company vans and deliverymen flooded the city streets accepting the social anger of ‘late parcels’. Social cannibalism at its best and the bosses rubbing their hands. Taking the example of the struggle of the SVEOD and the distributors against e-food, we have to harshly criticize the apathy, victimization and lack of organization of the rest of the workers against the bosses and the state that year after year are gaining ground in labor. Take it back by force.

We dedicate the attack also to the 11 Turkish militants and comrade Alfredo Cospito who are on hunger strike and to all the comrades who are on hunger strike in solidarity with Cospito. Through this action we send fiery signals of solidarity to all political prisoners of the world.

Solidarity to the recently imprisoned comrades K., Panagiotis B., Lambros B.

P.S.1.: At the time of writing this text we are flooded with rage at the murderous attack of the uniformed bastards against the 16 year old Roma boy.

P.S.2: Don’t worry, everything will be answered in turn.

Rome, Italy: Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Five years later, we publish – taken from the website anarhija.info (DN: English translation from Insurrection News) – the claim text of the explosive attack against the Carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district of Rome. Consistent with the need for support for the practices of attack and international revolutionary solidarity, we consider it equally important and necessary to find, and therefore disseminate, the documents and claim texts.

* * *

Claim of the explosive attack against the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni neighbourhood by the Santiago Maldonado Cell / FAI-FRI (Rome, 7 December 2017)

In times of social peace and compliance there is no better reply than action. A stimulus, a continuity and a jolt to wake up those who sleep.

Acting on one’s own initiative breaks the compliance and inaction and ignites those whose blood boils.

The anarchic praxis of attack must be the basic stimulus of anarchy, otherwise it is a walking dead. Action is necessary to make us alive in the ways we consider opportune, removed from every program, hierarchical and vertical structure. Many revolutionary practices are part of an anarchism in its bowels.

We have decided to take our lives into our own hands by breaking the oppressive peace that surrounds us.

On the night of the 6th to the 7th of December we placed a steel thermos containing 1.6kg of explosives outside the carabinieri barracks in the San Giovanni district in Rome.

Fivizzano, Italy: ‘Capitalism is voracious, our rage ferocious.’ Claim of the incendiary attack against four CAT machines, by the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

Capitalism is voracious, our rage ferocious. Claim of the incendiary attack against four CAT machines, by the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy (Fivizzano, November 2022)

The Informal Anarchist Conspiracy is anarchist and informal, therefore without organisational programmes or leaders, the result of the free union of individuals moved by their own will and reciprocal felt need to strike at those responsible for the misery.

In November, one year after the burning of two vehicles at the Boccanaglia Alta quarry, the Informal Anarchist Conspiracy celebrated its birthday by doubling down on the avenging fire. Four CATs from the Walton quarry in Castelbaita (Fivizzano – MS) were completely burnt.

Unfortunately, apart from the birthday, there is little to celebrate. Tons of mountain pieces are taken away every year, with terrible consequences for nature in all its complexity. Also paying the price are the inhabitants who find themselves without drinking water or with floods that will continue to hit the area.

Marble mining is part of the capitalist system of exploitation, to the point of depletion of every cm of soil, water, subsoil and so-called resources. The extractive economy is directly linked to the wars that from Yemen to Ukraine fatten the bosses. Every single industrialist is responsible for climate change, as well as for the existence of borders and the thousands of people slaughtered in the Mediterranean and in lagers defending borders.

It is known that the bosses are hypocrites and fill their mouths with deceitful words. Big speeches about energy transition, emission reduction and other green masks are on the lips of politicians, bosses and phoney environmentalists. They propose and promise reconversion. They practice the destruction of this planet, the moon, the universe and everything. They talk a lot about alternative energies but never about alternatives to capitalism. Because according to them, this is the best of all possible worlds. We remind ourselves that exploitation and devastation is done on the skin of the many for the profit of a cowardly few.

Turin, Italy: Update on the December 5 hearing on the recalculation of sentences against anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino as part of the Scripta Manent trial EN/IT

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

IT: Aggiornamento sull’udienza del 5 dicembre per il ricalcolo delle condanne contro gli anarchici Alfredo Cospito e Anna Beniamino nell’ambito del processo Scripta Manent (Torino, 5 dicembre 2022)

Update on the December 5 hearing on the recalculation of sentences against anarchists Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino as part of the Scripta Manent trial

On December 5, the second appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial against comrades Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino was held. The general prosecutor asked for 27 years and one month for Anna and life imprisonment without parole with 12 months of daytime solitary confinement for Alfredo, going even further than prosecutor Sparagna’s previous requests, which were 30 years for Alfredo.
The Turin appeals court failed to pronounce the sentence and turned to the Constitutional Court: the Turin judges are asking whether it is legitimate to be forced to disallow mitigating circumstances for Alfredo Cospito because of his previous penal background. Indeed, this would force them to sentence Alfredo to life in prison, although for an action that caused neither deaths nor injuries.
Next December 19 there will be a new hearing in Turin, a formal hearing aimed at working out the question to submit to the Constitutional Court.
Alfredo and Anna intervened with spontaneous statements. Alfredo reiterated that he will continue his hunger strike until his last breath against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole, Anna remarked that anyone with a modicum of critical thinking will know how to identify the principals and perpetrators of his comrade’s annihilation. The people in solidarity in the courtroom greeted the accused comrades with slogans and applause.
Shortly afterwards, a demonstration set off through the streets of Turin that, despite the massive deployment of repressive forces, managed to approach the city center, passing through some of the city’s neighborhoods.

Get Alfredo out of 41 bis.
To end 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
Free them all!

Alfredo Cospito’s declaration read out at the appeal trial for the recalculation of the sentences related to the “Scripta Manent” trial (Turin, Italy, December 5, 2022)

I will only say a few lines. Before disappearing into the oblivion of the 41 bis regime for good let me say a few things and then I’ll keep quiet forever. The judiciary of the Italian republic decided that I, too subversive, should no longer have the chance to see the stars, freedom. Buried for good with life imprisonment without appeal, which I have no doubt you will give me on the absurd charge of having committed a “political massacre” for two demonstrative attacks in the middle of the night, in deserted places, that were not intended to and could not have injured or killed anyone and in fact did not injure or kill anyone.
Not satisfied, as well as a life sentence without appeal, given that I continued writing and collaborating with the anarchist press from the prison, it was decided to clamp my mouth for ever with the medieval gag 41 bis, condemning me to an endless limbo awaiting death. I will not stand for it and I will not surrender, and will continue my hunger strike for the abolition of 41 bis and life sentence without appeal until my last breath to let the world know about these two repressive abominations in this country.
There are 750 of us in this regime and I am also fighting for that. By my side my anarchist and revolutionary brothers and sisters. I am accustomed to the censorship and smoke screens of the media, whose sole aim is to monstrify any radical and revolutionary opponent.

Abolition of the 41 bis regime.
Abolition of life sentence without appeal.
Solidarity to all the anarchist, communist and revolutionary prisoners in the world.
Always for anarchy.

Alfredo Cospito

Chile: ‘Because there is a whole world to destroy.’ Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan for “Nueva Subversión”

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

Because there is a whole world to destroy. Text in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan.

“For me, “informality” is above all friendship and love between comrades who share everything, even disappointments (inevitable in human relationships, because of their fickle nature). Brothers and sisters in war united by a passion: the destruction of the existent that is sufficient by itself and does not need the constraint of an organization. A life lived intensely, a handful of comrades who make loyalty and respect for the given word an insurmountable fortress, always allowing themselves to resist.”

– Alfredo Cospito

The anarchic endeavor travels thousands of kilometers, destroys languages and borders in the incessant war against power, in this journey we weave networks of conspiracy and we twin with comrades who have decided of their own free will to give practical impetus to their denials.

In all the history of propaganda by the fact we have never been forced, dragged or manipulated to strike blows against the enemy, always from our own conscience and will is that Anarchy has opened beautiful paths of confrontation and that will not change.

Far from hesitations and contemplative postures towards life and its rapid advance, we find brothers and sisters and comrades at long distances, accomplices that make Anarchy an active giant with vast experiences in the new anarchist urban guerrilla. Of these comrades are Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan, activists, dangerous and unyielding in the streets and in the prisons of capital.

Our words emerge from action and are a wink of complicit brotherhood with those who have been trapped by power and who today make their bodies a trench of war. In special solidarity for comrade Alfredo Cospito who faces a new battle, in a new planning and action against the beast of 41bis.

Bremen, Germany: Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and all other prisoners – Prison profiteers SPIE and Dussmann attacked

Posted on 2022/12/06 by darknights

The world of prisons and their guardians must perish, stone by stone, bar by bar, car by car.

Freedom for Alfredo Cospito and all other prisoners: Prison Profiteers SPIE and Dussmann Attacked

The world of prisons and their guardians must come to ruin, stone by stone, bar by bar, car by car.

Just in time for the proclaimed day of action for Alfredo Cospito, we happened to stumble upon 3 cars of prison profiteers. We took advantage of this stumble and landed with small spikes in their tires, so lucky, our hearts danced with joy!

Like countless others, Alfredo’s desire for another world, a new one from the ashes of the old, has brought him directly to solitary confinement. This is for you, Alfredo. May actions and words break the isolation and find their way to you and all the other incarcerated.

La lotta continua
