Milan, Italy: An ATM machine of Intensa-San paolo bank destroyed

Posted on 2022/05/21 by darknights

May 11–An ATM at the Intesa-San paolo bank branch on Via Rapisardi in Milan was smashed with a hammer.

This action is aimed at targeting one of the many businessmen involved in the war in Ukraine. Intesa-San paolo, the leading banking group in Italy, has 28 branches in Russia, holds 1.3 billion in assets, has issued more than 5 billion in loans to Russian companies and owns more than 50 million in government bonds. In 2017 it acquired 19 percent of the share capital of Rosneft, a Russian oil giant. In Ukraine it controls Pravex bank. It is currently undergoing a strategic review to reconcile its profits with Western sanctions.

It is necessary to sabotage the war by lashing out at homegrown capitalists and warmongers, eschewing the mobilizations of civilized pacifism.

Side by side with those who are fighting, rebelling and not giving up.

Maximum support for Alfredo Cospito, recently subjected to 41bis.

Solidarity with all anarchists and anarchists imprisoned in Italy, Chile, Greece, England, Spain, Russia, Belarus, etc.

Leipzig, Germany: DB relay antenna burned down – Attack militarism!

Posted on 2022/05/09 by darknights

We attacked the Deutsche Bahn as part of the logistics of war in Europe. We have not forgotten that this company has been involved in arms deliveries for years (even if at the moment it is trying to whitewash its image with “humanitarian” deliveries to Ukraine). In particular, every day our friends in Rojava are killed with weapons delivered by the DB. There is a close cooperation between the DB and the fascist regime of Erdogan.

So, on the night of 28-29 April, we set fire to a DB antenna in Markkleeberg [town in the southern suburbs of Leipzig; NdAtt.]. The line where the antenna is located was and still is used for arms deliveries. We are trying to oppose the current logic of war with our means and we want the material damage to be as great as possible. When this line is not used to transport military vehicles, it is used to send cars, coal and other devastating raw materials all over the world.

What also motivates us is the attempt to finally get out of the helplessness that has existed at least since the Covid-19 epidemic. The sabotage of war materials does not seem to be a common practice and moreover it is discredited by the usual discourse of the bourgeois left (a la “Of course Ukraine should receive weapons – the free world is defended there!”).

We don’t believe in the “vanguard”, but if we could motivate other people to carry out sabotage, it would obviously give us joy.
Let the smoke of our fire billow towards Munich, where an investigation for criminal conspiracy has been launched [Article §129 of the German Criminal Code, NdAtt.], including a search warrant.

Let’s attack militarism!
For anarchy!

[Ingredients and instructions:
One liter bottle, with 2/3 motor oil and 1/3 gasoline.
One liter bottle of gasoline.
We lit all of this with a half-liter bottle of gasoline to which were attached fire starters, with plastic cable ties.
We put it all on the bundles of cables that run from the control cabinet to the tower. That said: if you’re in a busy area, use delayed starters].

Lecce, Italy: Down with the army!

Posted on 2022/04/14 by darknights

Via & Translated by act for freedom now!

An act of violence.

This is the definition given to what happened in Taranto a few days ago when insults and stones were launched at a Navy frigate as it pased by. What can we say? We can only agree… It is an act of exceptional violence that a missile frigate, a military operational unit named after the carabinieri army, can return to an important NATO base in grand style following a mission, crew lined up on deck. These are images that lacerate your heart.

Fortunately that day, near the revolving bridge, there were some enemies of militarism who expressed all their disgust at this violent repulsive spectacle. Their shouts and insults thrown at the military broke the deafening, complicit silence of those who held back, enjoying the show, and the stones thrown at the frigate tore away the grey area of silent collaborationism of those who never have the courage to call things by their name.

Giving substance to one’s antimilitarism – especially in this period of war propaganda, which has passed uninterruptedly from covid to war – is the sign of a particularly admirable ethical tension. While the whole of the national press and politicians hastened to label the demonstrators “pacifists” and condemn the gesture, we think that shouting “Murderers!” at the military, regardless of historical contingencies, is the truth, pure and simple.

WAR ON WAR

Price increases and sackings, massacres in jails and at the workplace, energy crisis and return to nuclear power, green pass and repression. This is the war against which we are called upon to fight. Our war is against the State and capital, in continuity with practices of conflict and with our imprisoned comrades in our hearts. We won’t enlist in response to the bourgeoisie’s call to arms, we won’t go to fight against other exploited inside and outside borders.

For internationalist solidarity.

Bremen, Germany: Militarism stinks! Butyric acid for Rheinmetall, Bundeswehr and customs

Posted on 2022/04/12 - 2022/04/12 by darknights

On 4.4.22 we distributed butyric acid in the entrance area of Rheinmetall at Osterdeich 108 in Bremen. A week before on 28.3.22 we banged up the main customs office with stones and poured butyric acid into the offices. The attack was aimed at the Bundeswehr advisory center in the building.

The cops report broken windows at the main customs office but say nothing about the butyric acid. The smell was beastly, so we think that they deliberately conceal what was used. So it is not so serious that shortly before the attack the security guard left the premises and was not able to fulfill his mission. At the beginning of last year, autonomous groups summed up the function of customs in the capitalist merry-go-round: https://chronik.blackblogs.org/?p=141

The attack on the Bundeswehr is our contribution to practical antimilitarism. Now that the current war crimes are committed by the enemy, the Russian military, the Bundeswehr imagines itself to be on the morally clean side. Bullshit! The German military is neither progressive nor sustainable, it is the grimace of the German past and the door to fascism. Like any military, it is based on command and obedience. It trains to kill for German capital. Even the reintroduction of military service is on everyone’s lips and is being discussed by parliamentarians. For whom should the youth fight? For people and fatherland? For cheap fuel and safe trade routes? We are already calling for desertion and will attack the military wherever possible.

The personnel office of the arms company Rheinmetall at Osterdeich 108 was recently pelted with paint, after which an anti-militarist demonstration marched in front of the door. The owner has announced to look for new tenants, hoping that the stress will stop. That’s exactly why we have followed up before the staff management disappears behind high fences in safer buildings. Perhaps landlords will also think twice in the future about which companies they rent premises to. The arms industry profits the most from the current war, the industry is booming. The arms business is a key driver of every war. Corporations like Rheinmetall must now be attacked by all means.

For the sabotage of the military and the arms industry!

For an active decomposition of military forces!

Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs

Posted on 2022/03/31 - 2022/03/31 by darknights

The tanks are rolling through Europe and the war has been dominating the headlines for weeks. But we have not woken up in a new world, as the press and politicians have been trying to make us believe since the war in Ukraine. The current war is the direct result of a militarized world. It is the same dirty racist and murderous system that we attacked on New Year’s Eve. It is the same capitalist system that divides people into groups and rules over them. The very system in which some get and stay rich with arms exports. It is the same Nato that has been waging war for years and that acts in the same militaristic logic as the authoritarian pig Putin. No, the only thing “new” about the situation is that the warlike misery has moved closer to Europe.

At the turn of the year, we set fire to a company building of OHB in Bremen. The fire unfolded in an exemplary manner and destroyed an entire building. According to OHB, the jobs of 330 employees were rendered unusable for the time being. The damage, worth millions, still delights us every day. What followed in January and February was the purest propaganda show by cops and politicians.

We learned from the media that a security guard was allegedly in an anteroom of the attacked building. According to our observations, no one was in the completely darkened building at the time of the attack. We did not want to wantonly put anyone in danger. The attack was of course not aimed at this presumably precariously employed person who has to work in a multi-million dollar corporation on New Year’s Eve. We wanted to harm the arms company OHB and sabotage its war-mongering work.

That the attack was right is shown not only by the reaction of the cops and the press. Wow, what a wave! Directly the day after, the Senator for Economy, Labor and Europe from the party Die Linke has herself photographed at the scene, backs OHB and denies that OHB is an arms company that cooperates with Frontex. Politics and the arms industry in common interest for Bremen as a business location. A disgusting melange! Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs” →

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson & incendiary attacks by Cells of Anti-Militarist Action – Another war is possible

Posted on 2022/03/26 - 2022/05/18 by darknights

ANOTHER WAR IS POSSIBLE: CLASS, ANTI-STATE, REVOLUTIONARY.

We take responsibility for the arson attacks that took place from March 2 to 14 in areas of Athens. Specifically

At dawn on Wednesday 2/3 we set fire to and destroyed a company van of AKTORA in Chrysostomou Smyrnis Street in Vyronas. On 1/4/2021 in Evia, the bodies of 3 dead workers were found hanging on the DEI poles and thrown lifeless on the ground at an AKTORA construction site. The murdered workers of the class war are not included in any official statistics, many times they do not even have a name, nationality, age. They are mere fuel and legalized collateral damage. Only proletarian organization and revenge can keep alive the memory of the murdered workers and our class hatred against their murdering bosses. Giannis Carlatiras, 43 years old, George Toskas, 55 years old, and Alex Brouka, 45 years old. stand next to the names of Antonis Dellios, Stamatis Diplaris, Giritlis Tzihat and many other local and migrant workers, all of them murdered on AKTORA construction sites, in our own accounts, in our own memory.

Let us realize that the organization of class revolutionary anti-violence was not, nor is it, a secondary dimension of workers’ action. It is on organised proletarian counter-violence, on the destruction of capital’s proletarian elements and the targeting of its cadres, on the wildcat strikes, that not only any “bargaining power” of the exploited masses is based, but also their very unity in the fields of class warfare. It is the resistance and attack of the workers against the bosses that unites the Class, not the bargaining for the material conditions of its simple survival.

In the midst of declared war and class lockdowns, trade union slogans have been reduced to “health protection measures, masks, tests and vaccinations”, legitimising automatic conscription and therefore universal devaluation of labour power in the name of public health. War, every form of war organised by states, is an automatic devaluation of the class not only in terms of wages and rights but also in simple material and biological dimensions. War means extermination, destruction, death, and when it is officially declared, the generalized appeal to peace simply digs our hole. It can only seem dystopian to claim individual military helmets and safe passage routes to work in the event of an actual military conflict. A working class disciplined to the dictates of the state and capital is a working class vulnerable, easy prey to their warlike designs.

Replicate – Static – Insurrection

Posted on 2022/03/11 - 2022/03/26 by darknights

Returning from self-imposed hiatus, to rethink what the 325 and Dark Nights project means, to work on several upcoming publications, but also it is healthy to take a step back back from the spectacle that counter-info can become, all too aware that without the insurrectional praxis it can become a void.

Without further ado, our collective will be bringing out a new Dark Nights publication next month concentrating on the militaristic hellscape that is occuring in Eastern Europe, which we see as a continuation of conflicts being waged in Syria, Yemen, previously in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also a continuation of the military industrial techno complex’s pursuit of total control. We find recent texts released by anarchists in the UK & Italy are a direction that all anarchists must pursue because an anti-militarist praxis is one of many anarchist priciples that has been forgotten or outright ignored by those of a more liberal, leftist and even communist deviations in anarchist circles. We are not miltaristic, we do not enlist in nationalistic or imerpialistic wars and we definitly do not join any army, be it democratic or fascist or communist! Too easily anarchists forget the disgusting ‘Manifesto of the Sixteen (1916)’, that even Kropotkin was a signatore of, that condoned joining the massacre in the trenches that was World War I.

We plan in the future to critique the miltaristic tendancy that has been occuring within anarchist circles internationally, beginning in Rojava and now manifesting itself in horrendous fashion in the Ukraine.

Further to the new Dark Nights publication, we are in the early stages of planning a new #13 edition of 325. We encourage any comrades, individuals and projects to contact us with proposals for articles to include in the new edition or any ideas for the direction it will take. We are wanting to make a shift away from an exclusive concentration on technology and science, to start to open up a critique and analysis on a international context. There have been recent proposals for what is known as an ‘International’ in the past few years, we want to further this critique and analysis that such comrades as Alfredo Cospito (‘What International?’), Gustavo Rodriguez and Gabriel Pombo da Silva, have already started. We are particulary interested in hearing from comrades internationally from their own struggles wherever they maybe, in how they relate to international co-ordination. Critiques and analysis of past manifestations of international networks will also be appreciated.

Other future publications we plan to release are about the Direct Action Cells of Greece and a further collection of texts by Gustavo Rodriguez.

Until then… More of this… As comrades are already doing on this techno prison island.

Against the drift towards militarisation, attack and sabotage the machines of control and massacre all around us.

Lets destroy their peace, continue our own war against the existent and against civilization’s grip upon our whole lives!

Absolute complicity and solidarity to anarchist comrades Gianluca Iacovacci & Evelin Sterni recently arrested by the Italian state.
