Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

Vladivostok

On November 16, a colonel, Vadim Boiko, who worked with the mobilized, was found shot dead in his own office.

Eyewitnesses heard five shots. The first one to run into the office was the duty officer, who saw the body of the colonel with gunshot wounds to the chest. Forensics found five casings and four Makarov pistols. No suicide note was found.

Colonel Vadim Boyko was deputy head of the Pacific Higher Naval School, head of the technical support department.

Rostov-on-Don

November 17. During one night, an unknown guerrilla attacker damaged eight police cars in the Zheleznozhozhny district. All cars had their windows broken.

Novosibirsk

On 18 November in Novosibirsk anarchists destroyed an outdoor surveillance camera.

Moscow

On November 21 a warehouse of Ministry of Internal Affairs burst into flames at Moscow-Leningradskaya station. The warehouse was 10 meters away from the building of MIA. When the fire began to spread, the employees themselves fled, but there was enormous material damage: dozens of printers and scanners, 50 chairs, 20 armchairs, 10 tables and two air conditioners (and also a whole sports simulator and a bunch of gloves with masks) were burned. A criminal case has been opened.

Grozny

On November 21 a daredevil attacked a police inspector with a knife while he was performing prayers. The partisan attacked him from behind while the servant of the regime was ablution and stabbed him to Allah.

The assailant thus seized the policeman’s service weapon, but was unable to use it because he was shot dead by the killer’s colleagues. The murder of the assailant was reported by Ramzan Kadyrov himself. It is reported that the identity of the assailant has not been established, and that he most probably acted alone.

This is not the first attack on police officers in Grozny. Specifically, on December 28, 2020, two policemen were attacked by indviduals in the center of the city, armed with knives and tried to seize their weapons. As a result of the attack, one policeman died and another was wounded and hospitalized. Both attackers were killed.

On December 17, 2020. The Investigative Committee opened another criminal case over an attack on police officers in the Kurchaloysky district of Chechnya. According to preliminary data of the investigation, the attack happened around 1 a.m. on December 17 after two men in a VAZ-2114 car refused to stop on demand of policemen. During the pursuit the intruders opened fire at the policemen with an assault rifle, they were killed in return fire. Continue reading “Russia: Radical Resistance 15 – 22.11.22” →

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility – Against the war industry by Anarchists

Posted on 2022/11/25 by darknights

Taking responsibility – Against the war industry

In the days of commemoration of the Polytechnic, we must not forget the anti-militarist implications of the uprising. In the midst of military dictatorship, one of the central slogans of the occupied Polytechnic in ’73 was “Out with NATO”. Picking up this thread, anarchy today must find a way of direct action against those who profit and gain from these wars.

While we try to develop anarchist considerations and analyses of every interstate war conflict, one of the most important aspects of the multifaceted anti-military struggle is often ignored: sabotaging the death machine on the ground we are on.

Since we are in NATO’s territory of influence, we have a duty to sabotage everything used by the armed forces of the Greek state and its allies, the arms industry, the financiers and those who give orders and make decisions.

Toulouse, France: ‘Borne… to be burned!’ New electric car charging station burned

Posted on 2022/11/19 by darknights

New electric car charging station burned down on boulevard de Suisse, in Toulouse, this Thursday, November 10.

Energy is their future. Fossil or renewable, and especially nuclear, imported or not, production is always increasing, defining our needs and ruining lives.
The French state wants to stay in the race of energy markets. The restructuring of the car fleet is one of them, with the announced plan for 2030 of 2 million electric cars; this means new lithium mines, whole fields of photovoltaic panels and windmills, cities closed to all those who cannot afford to buy the new Zoe or a Tesla. If the planned goal of 100,000 electric charging stations has not been reached this year, it may be because this future is only of interest to car shareholders and a few hypertechnology enthusiasts. Since this summer, several recently installed charging stations have been destroyed in Toulouse, one of the test cities of the LEZ (low emission zone subject to the crit’air sticker). We participated in this resistance. The LEZ is an ecological decoy and a social injustice. Because we do not see a transition but an accumulation of energy resources whose exploitation conditions the survival of this shitty system. We see with joy that a resistance is also unfolding everywhere in many ways, and more broadly against the industries that pump all the energy.

Berlin, Germany: Fire of Solidarity for Alfredo Cospito by Autonomous Cell ‘Anna Maria Mantini’

Posted on 2022/11/13 by darknights

In the early hours of 31 October, we set fire to a van belonging to the GA-Tec company. This company for building and facilities management technology is 100% owned by the Sodexo group and runs prisons itself (in England and Chile) and is a big profiteer of the prison industry. The van burnt out in the Lichtenberg district, where a number of cars have been burnt recently.

Not only to cause damage to the company, but out of an inner motivation we could not help but make such an attack against our oppressors. The news that the comrade Alfredo Cospito is being tortured in the so-called “41bis” regime of justice by the Italian state leaves us anything but indifferent. Alfredo is not only to be muzzled, his existence is on the verge of extinction. We unite with his militant push. Together with his hunger strike, we break the total isolation. We also call on all other comrades to take direct action now and decisively shorten the reaction time of the anarchist international struggle. To snatch Alfredo Cospito from the regime of extermination and unleash a revolutionary force in the coordinated offensive. Not to live in prison or in the isolation regime means a great responsibility. In the struggle combined with hunger strikes, we cannot wait until the prisoner also has to go on thirst strike.

Militant campaigns triggered by hunger strikes can open up a substantial anti-capitalist perspective. Metropolises can be transformed into jungles where the infrastructure of the ruling classes could be completely destroyed if its inhabitants decided to do so. Prison profiteers, arms companies, police contractors, construction corporations – their glass facades, vehicles and data lines that are encroaching on the habitats of our class in increasingly dense urban centers or being used to try and protect themselves in their own sanctuaries. Just like how the GA-Tec/Sodexo van we attacked was engulfed in a high-rise precariat housing estate, it could become commonplace for the logistics of power as the intensifying class antagonisms and the militant campaigns of the anarchist milieu develop a common approach.

Solidarity also to Juan Sorroche and Ivan, who immediately joined Alfredo’s struggle and are also on hunger strike.

Freedom for them and also for Giannis Michailidis, Claudio Lavazza and Toby Shone.

Victory to the Mapuche struggle!

Death to the state, long live anarchy!

Responsibility claim for the arson attack against some MARR trucks in solidarity with anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino on hunger strike against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole (Anzola dell’Emilia, Italy, November 5, 2022)

Anzola dell’Emilia (Bologna).

On the night of November 5, 2022, we set fire to some MARR trucks. MARR is a company that has been involved in the supply of meals to prisons and deportation centres for immigrants for years. Its profit is based on the imprisonment of thousands of people. What we have done is for all the shitty meals they deliver.

It is for all the people who fall ill because of unhealthy food in the structures supplied by this company.

And it is especially for those who have chosen to struggle in prison, precisely by giving up food.

WE ARE WITH ALFREDO COSPITO, ANARCHIST IMPRISONED IN THE 41 BIS SECTION OF THE BANCALI PRISON IN SARDINIA, ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20 AGAINST 41 BIS AND LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.

WE ARE WITH IVAN ALOCCO, JUAN SORROCHE AND ANNA BENIAMINO, IMPRISONED ANARCHISTS WHO ADHERE TO THE HUNGER STRIKE, JOINING ALFREDO’S FIGHT (we learn of Anna’s choice after our action).

Their struggle is also ours. Ours is theirs.

For the freedom of everyone, against prisons and those who profit from their existence! Against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole!

A FIGHTING EMBRACE TO THE COMRADES ON HUNGER STRIKE AND TO THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

Leipzig, Germany: SPIE & MIELE Vans Set on Fire – Freedom for our Comrades!

Posted on 2022/11/13 by darknights

During the night from 31.10. to 01.11. we set fire to SPIE and MIELE vans in the south of Leipzig. SPIE has been known as a prison profiteer for years. The company is involved in both the construction and operation of prisons worldwide.

For us, MIELE is representative of German imperialism in Greece. The appliance manufacturer has previously been the target of attacks by the Revolutionary Organization November 17 there.

Our hearts burn for all the rebels in the dungeons of the state who continue their struggle. They burn for Alfredo and Juan who are on hunger strike in Italy. They burn for Giannis Michailidis, who was on hunger strike from May to July this year and unfortunately had to suspend it without “success”.

Freedom for Anna, Juan, Giannis and Alfredo!
For anarchy!

Actions of radical resistance, carried out by individuals or small groups, continue all over Russia.

Arson attacks

Tomsk

On October 13 in the evening in Tomsk there was an attempt of arson in military registration and enlistment office building on Moskovsky highway. Firefighters and a police squad arrived on the scene in the evening. Any details of the action were withheld by the authorities.

On the night of October 15, the military registration and enlistment office in the capital of Karachay-Cherkessia Republic caught fire. A video shows that the fire engulfed the first floor and the facade of the building. There are no details about the extent of the damage to the military registration and enlistment office. It is reported that this is an old military registration and enlistment office building, currently unused.

Buryatia

17 October. In Mukhorshibir village in Buryatia at night an unknown guerilla attacked the military enlistment office in the village. He threw a Molotov cocktail on the roof of the building, but the fire only covered 2 square meters of the facade and did not penetrate inside. The fire was noticed by a security guard and extinguished.

Revolt in the Army

Details of the shooting at the shooting range in Belgorod region on October 15 are gradually emerging. Three soldiers – a Daghestani, an Azerbaijani and an Adygean – said that “this is not our war” and tried to write a report saying that they did not want to serve any more. The target of the attack was Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Lapin, the head of the training ground, who stated that “this is a holy war,” and then made an insulting remark about the Muslim faith. An hour and a half after the verbal conflict, the servicemen went to the firing range, where the three soldiers involved in the argument took their weapons with live ammunition, asked the Muslims to move away from Lapin, and began firing. Thirteen servicemen were killed and there were wounded. The shooters were two or three citizens of Tajikistan, one of them might have been mobilized by force or tricked, he was a migrant worker and had never expressed a desire to go to war and then suddenly disappeared.
