Milan, Italy: Bomb against Unicredit

Posted on 2022/01/08 by darknights

The clamour of revolt shattered the silence of a freezing winter night. Anarchist violence was unleashed against Unicredit, exploding in the night against one of its Milan branches in the neighbourhood of Barona. An explosive device placed on the threshold of the institute destroyed the entrance and adjacent cash machines.

The bank giant, chaired by ex-minister of the economy Padoan, is the second most important bank in Italy and can be found in eighteen countries. It has been financing exports of arms and military systems for years, and among its shareholders is Black Rock, a world leader in investment funds. In a world where banks have the power to determine market trends and people’s lives, direct attack on these structures is one of the best weapons of struggle.

Revolutionary solidarity and complicity with anarchist prisoners in the world, proud of their path of struggle.

Nothing is over.

No surrender.

Bremen, Germany: Incendiary devices against a Frontex collaborator

Posted on 2021/12/14 - 2021/12/14 by darknights

Attack on the arms company and Frontex OHB supplier in Bremen

Last night 24/11/21, we attacked the arms company OHB SE on the Manfred-Fuchs square in the industrial park of the university of Bremen and set several cars on fire.
OHB SE is one of the biggest players in the field of aeronautics and aerospace with its headquarters in Bremen, but it makes its money on the deaths with which the federal army and Frontex pave their way. In 2001, OHB became one of the biggest players in the satellite and aerospace sector when it won a contract worth more than 320 million euros with the German army ‘for the development, construction, launch and operation of the SAR-Lupe radar reconnaissance system’. This was to enable the German army to obtain information through autonomous military espionage, independent of weather conditions.
In 2008, the Federal Army officially received the satellite system. OHB itself stated: ‘With SAR-Lupe, OHB has succeeded for the first time in running a satellite program as the main contractor. In doing so, the company developed and built the satellite system and is jointly responsible with the Federal Armed Forces for its operation. OHB is thus not only a supplier to the Federal Army, but also actively participates in the German warfare and surveillance machine. In 2013, the German Army again placed an order with OHB for the development and construction of the SARah tracking system. This was and is to be used by the German army exclusively for military purposes.

The German army has had an unbroken tradition of killing since the beginning of its existence. Even today, hardly a week goes by without a right-wing extremist network being uncovered in the Federal Army or tons of ammunition disappearing, only to resurface in precisely these networks. The OHB not only provides the German army with the instruments it needs to commit murder, but also actively participates in this process itself.
But that’s not all; both SAR-Lupe and SARah data have been and are being passed on to Frontex. Frontex uses the data from the German surveillance satellites, as well as from the “earth observation program” COPERNICUS, to monitor potential routes of passage, groups of people on the routes of exile, as well as the boats they use to cross the seas and flee the war and terror that Europe exports to their countries of origin, all in order to eventually attack them.

Bremen, Germany: Against the borders of Europe! Army vehicles should burn (again and again)!

Posted on 2021/12/14 by darknights

We are for anti-militarism!
We are for a world that does not need borders!
We stand for desertion!

We are for response!
We are for anti-racism!
We are for a revolutionary perspective!

We are for revolutionary violence!
We are for the violence that opposes the horrible and brutal violence of social conditions!
We are for the struggle against war!

Sometimes it almost seems that the slogans of the radical left are outdated. Sometimes it seems as if the idea of a world without war is no longer in fashion. War is accepted with a shrug, as a realistic option. Sometimes it seems that all these military operations “without alternative” have put us to sleep. Sometimes. Encouraged by the attack on the arms company OHB in Bremen in November, we decided to fight the war here. That’s why in the early morning of December 7th we set fire to a fleet of army vehicles in the Neustadt district of Bremen – in the parking lot of the company MAN, which profits from the war.

As the old slogan says: what burns in Germany cannot cause damage elsewhere.

Twenty years of Afghanistan have shown us not only in a very banal way, but also in a very brutal way: war is shit, war brings nothing but suffering, destruction and death for many people, and huge profits for a few. Twenty years of war in Afghanistan, during which countless civilians have lost their lives. In addition there are all the dead who, while fleeing this murderous war, lost their lives on the way to a supposedly safe Europe. Drowned in the Mediterranean. Frozen to death on the north-eastern borders of Europe. The borders of this Europe that won the Nobel Peace Prize. It makes us vomit. Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: Against the borders of Europe!

Milan: Burned vehicles of the company SKP group between 27-28 October

Posted on 2021/11/04 - 2021/11/04 by darknights

Anti-piracy service, escort to VIPs, installation of surveillance devices, security consulting, etc.. This is the prestigious curriculum, directly consultable on their site, the company of private surveillance SKP group.

This is one of those private companies that have now risen to the role of a real police force and paramilitary, able to flank the traditional armed forces. Highly qualified, militarily trained and technically equipped personnel is the guarantee of the services and skills that this company offers to the powerful.

For all these reasons, a couple of SKP vehicles were set on fire in the night between the 27th and 28th of October. Probably accustomed to operating undisturbed, they habitually left their cars unattended in front of the premises, located in Via Ripamonti in Milan. A mistake that they paid dearly for.

The time of chatter and hesitation must end.

Take action to raise our heads

Take action to relaunch the anarchist offensive

Without respite

The guerrilla warfare does not stop

Genoa, Italy – Itinerant Gathering Against Special Surveillance

Posted on 2021/06/25 - 2021/06/25 by darknights

From: Inferno Urbano Via & Translated by Act For Freedom Now!

GATHERING AGAINST SPECIAL SURVEILLANCE

From the struggles against the devastation and plundering of the earth to the struggles against borders that divide people and split up the world, from the antimilitarist struggle against the massacres of war and arms trafficking to the struggle of those who fight against work exploitation… The enemy is always the same: power, neo-liberal domination, the capitalist system that grabs everything for the privileges of the few to the detriment of the many.

For power those who rebel become dangerous individuals to be monitored. Repression transforms affinity between people into terrorist cells and subversive associations. Our response to these attacks is self-organization and carrying on the struggle in spite of the repression.

TUESDAY 15TH JUNE AT 6:30PM – START OFF
