Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson of the luxury car of a high-ranking DEI executive at noon in Koukaki

Posted on 2022/07/22 by darknights

The day starts well with hatred for the bosses

It is provocative for the golden boys of the electricity companies to think that they will show off their wealth through their luxury cars, worth thousands of euros, which were granted to them for free thanks to an amendment by the Ministry of the Environment, and to believe that they will remain immune to the public’s anger.Nowadays, the cost of living is increasing geometrically. Electricity, water and gas bills come inflated by hundreds of euros. Basic foodstuffs such as bread, rice, pasta and vegetables have become luxury items. House repossessions and power cuts are on the increase. Rents are constantly rising. While the fake ‘electricity subsidy’ to the social base presented as a financial relief, in fact it is a scam of just a few euros, so few that sometimes they are not paid into our bills, is a communication weapon in the quiver of the criminals and crooks of the ND government. In the face of this constant devaluation of our lives, we are not prepared to simply watch journalists announce how much inflation has increased. Impoverishment and destitution are a consequence of the political choices of those who administer power. The economic crisis has demonstrated most emphatically that the ‘value’ of life depends on whether you are rich or poor. The rich enjoy their bloody privileges and have freepasses to rooms and intensive care units when needed, while the poor are left to die stained in the corridors of understaffed and underfunded hospitals. The only freepass the poor are to be given is for the front lines of imperialist wars. The state officials who organize our exploitation, the banks, the big bosses and the goldenboys who plunder our nature and our lives, the “parrots” of power who turn white into black and instruct us, as the new Antoinettes, to eat sponge cake if we have no bread, must be put in the crosshairs of the oppressed and the exploited. For all these reasons, at noon on Friday 8 July, we handed over to the flames a luxury car of large capacity parked outside the offices of the Public Power Corporation and belonging to a major executive of that company.To our plundering and impoverishment we must respond with assemblies, occupations, strikes, expropriations, conflicts, arson, demonstrations

Anarchists – Communists

PS: Solidarity with the hunger striker G. Michailidis since 23/5, who is putting his body as a barricade to the regime of exception that is attempting to impose once again, on another political prisoner, aiming at his isolation, as well as his political, psychological and physical extermination.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson of a UNISON vehicle

Posted on 2022/07/22 by darknights

On the 55th day of the hunger strike of Giannis Michailidis, we burned a UNISON vehicle in the area of Metaxourgiou, on Constantinople Street. To support the comrade in his struggle for freedom and as an effort to give strength to the movement in the coming days and nights.

UNISON is a company that collaborates with the municipality of Athens in the privatization and exploitation of parks and streets – with the end result being the death of life in all public spaces, and the transformation of the city into a commercialized Disneyland. The struggle to defend Exarcheia also necessitates an attack on UNISON, as it is responsible for the gentrification of Strefi Hill. The company has an open mandate to facilitate the cops in the repression of public spaces and the evacuation of squats. They are also part of the class war against the poor, as they rent workers. Instead of decent wages and working conditions, the company pays peanuts and violates workers’ rights, earning goodwill for their rich bosses and shareholders.

UNISON advertises on its vehicles that it is an “exclusive partner of ISS”. ISS is a Danish security and site management company that maintains prisons and immigration detention centres in Belgium and France, offers security on public transport, as well as “security solutions”, with workers or surveillance techniques on every dirty job.

The state, in its desire to take all ground from the anarchist space and the broader antagonistic movement, by evacuating squats, attacking universities, tear-gassing neighbourhoods, will face the transformation of the city into a battlefield. If the strike doesn’t end well, we will do everything to turn the next few weeks into a nightmare for those in charge, creating situations they can’t handle. Burning cars, interventions, banners, broken windows and clashes must become the experience of this tourist season.

Let’s burn the rich and their people

Athens, Greece: Arson attack on Hertz van in solidarity with anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

Posted on 2022/07/18 - 2022/07/22 by darknights

The anarchist hunger striker G. Michailidis has been on hunger strike since 23/5 demanding his just demand for release after serving 3/5 of his sentence. For the past 2 months he has received rejection decisions for his just request, while he continues his hunger strike until today with the risk of suffering irreparable damage to his physical health.

At the same time, the state is taking provocative decisions by acquitting notorious and socially reprehensible cases of people in the system such as Hortaria, Leventis, Korkoneas, Filippidis and Lignadis.The above cases happen to take on dimensions because of the fame of the accused. The state protects and exonerates its own people and its supporters, which is a constant condition. The responsibility of the pro-democratic classes is to remind again and again of their capitalist and patriarchal values. Property is a sacred value of what exists, therefore destruction and vandalism are criminal acts. In contrast, rape of women and minors, state murder at the hands of cops are not so valuable to the state and justice. This was the message we were conveyed by the decisions of their courts in the last period of time. It is probably no coincidence that these decisions were made at this particular time and circumstance. On the other hand, the authorities are avenging and exterminating political prisoners, migrants, Roma and poor people by extending the time of their incarceration, without any regard for their procedural and human rights.Let us be clear, we are talking about a war of different worlds and values without any suspensions, which is why we do not believe in any rule of law.

So as an indicative warning for the next decision of the Lamia council on 25/7 we decided on the 7th week of the hunger strike, at dawn on Monday 11/7, the flame of the solidarity struggle will wrap a van of the car rental company Hertz in the area of Vyronas. Hertz supplies the Greek police forces with cars and offers special conditions of suppressive forces worldwide. Removing the Hertz label from the cars of the OPKE is not enough. Hertz is an enemy of the struggle against repression. We are here, following your steps and your movements; nothing will go unanswered.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers G. Michailidis, D. Hatzivassiliadis, D. Giagtzoglou.

Until the hanging of each cage

The struggle for the freedom of the one is a struggle for the freedom of all

L’Haÿ-Les-Roses, France: Arson of a Vinci utility vehicle in solidarity with Yvan

Posted on 2022/07/17 by darknights

During the night of July 7 to 8, rue Paul Hochart in l’Haÿ-Les-Roses (94), we set fire to a Vinci van. Vinci is a shitty company for many reasons but especially due to the fact that it builds prisons. In solidarity with Yvan, an anarchist comrade incarcerated in the Villepinte prison suspected of having set fire to different types of cars, we attacked a vehicle of this company by burning it.

Even if this action won’t reverse the order of things, it will at least put a wrench in the gears of a tangible structure of domination. The targets are everywhere, let’s attack them!

Thoughts to all incarcerated anarchists
Fire to all forms of domination!
Devastate the prisons and long live the attack!

There are no isolated arsonists

An anarchist companion, Ivan, was arrested in the Paris region on June 11, 2022. He is suspected of several car arsons: cars with diplomatic plates, cars of the rich, of Enedis, and of others. We consider the arson and sabotage of cars, cell towers, electricity pylons and corporate targets as a strategy of the international anarchist struggle.

The omnipresence of our enemies makes them vulnerable. Some targets seem unreachable, yet all their tentacles are Achilles’ heels. If a company’s headquarters is difficult to access, we can torch one of its many cars, its branches and its power supply. We find joy in severing these tentacles, alone or in groups, with or without claims, with the means at hand or with more sophisticated techniques. In this way, we attack specific structures of domination.

These attacks take place everywhere, all the time, because they are reproducible and the targets are on every street corner. We attack because we do not accept the horror of this world, because it is a way to show our solidarity, because we want to put a grain of sand in the gears of power. For all these reasons, these attacks bring us joy.

Solidarity with anarchist prisoners!
Freedom for all!
To the attack!

Exarcheia, Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attack on a Cosmote vehicle in solidarity with hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

Posted on 2022/07/10 - 2022/07/26 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson of a Cosmote vehicle at Tositsa Street, in Exarcheia, on Wednesday night 29/06 as a sign of solidarity with the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis, who has been on hunger strike since 23/05.

The much advertised return to normality and order,with special planning for Exarcheia, has been shredded now when cars are burned under their eyes as well as motorbikes with them on them. The 21.000 policemen that Theodoricakos proudly said that they patrol our city, either don’t want to or can’t catch up with us. They are useless anyway.

The society is at present noticeably distanced from the issue of the comrade’s hunger strike.The same people who have been experiencing pandemic, war, misery and impoverishment for 3 years, who have experienced incarceration in their own skin, are coldly indifferent to the inmates and inmates in the state-run hellholes. We ought therefore to be harshly critical and self-critical of the abject failure of both sides to bridge their gaps. And not so that anarchists and society can hold hands and go off into the sunset, but because each needs the other for liberation. However harsh this realization may be.

Comrade G.M. is on his 47th day of hunger strike and his health situation is getting worse and worse. The case of the comrade is a case for all of us. We are not trying to blackmail a positive decision of the bourgeois justice, nor are we trying to prove the partiality of a state mechanism. We stand by comrade G. M. and his difficult but crucial decision for the future and we are trying to show the state the cost of this war. If anything happens to any hunger striker, they will not get away with a few burnt cars and a few burnt cops. They will count material and physical losses…

SOLIDARITY WITH THE HUNGER STRIKER GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS

SOLIDARITY TO THE COMRADES FOTIS DASKALA AND DIMITRIS HATZIVASILIADIS, WHO FROM 04/07 AND 06/07 RESPECTIVELY ARE ON HUNGER STRIKE IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE STRUGGLE OF THE G.M.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Arson attack on Eurobank ATM

Posted on 2022/06/25 - 2022/06/25 by darknights

The anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis is on his 33rd day of hunger strike and is being treated in Lamia hospital with his health condition being extremely poor.

The state, exhausting its vindictiveness, is pushing the hunger striker into a life-or-death struggle, a struggle for freedom or submission. The games played by the Ministry of Propaganda and the Amfissa Judicial Council, which for the umpteenth time rejected the comrade’s request for temporary release, clearly demonstrate that their “correction” against the declared enemies of the state and capital is extermination and torture.

We, for our part, stand on the side of dignity and freedom in the face of the world of oppression, imprisonment and power. We take responsibility as a minimal sign of solidarity with the struggle of our comrade and in the context of the international day of action for the arson of a Eurobank ATM in Agios Pavlos Thessaloniki in the early hours of Friday 24/6.

Kaisariani, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson of luxury vehicles

Posted on 2022/06/20 by darknights

The anarchist prisoner Giannis Michailidis is being treated in Lamia hospital, being on hunger strike since 23/5 demanding the obvious. His release from prison, which the Council of Amfissa is vengefully denying him.

We take responsibility for the arson of 8 luxury vehicles in the area of Kaisariani in the morning of 18/6.

We make it clear to all those responsible for the torture of our comrade that for every day that passes and his health deteriorates , we will make sure with all our efforts to disrupt the normal functioning of the metropolis. In the person of Giannis, the judicial mafia is taking revenge for consistency and commitment to the anarchist struggle, trying to terrorize each and every person who dares to fight.

We call on every comrade, every grouping and individuality to organize their own attacks with simple means and imagination. To multiply the dynamic actions and to stand as a barrier to the plans to eliminate the striker.

John’s struggle for his liberation is a struggle of all of us.

Santiago, Chile: Arson attack against telecommunications antenna

Posted on 2022/06/13 by darknights

Attack carried out on the night of Sunday, June 5, 2022.

“Certain human cultures have been waging war against the Earth for millennia. I chose to fight on the side of bears, mountain lions, skunks, bats, saguaros, cliff roses and all things wild.”
Bill Rodgers, ELF member.

It has been 13 years since our comrade Mauricio Morales, the punky, left his earthly life in the midst of the offensive that with courage and will he raised against the tortured bastards of the gendarmerie school. Unfortunately, the explosive device he was carrying started earlier than expected, generating the consequences already known by many. We embrace punky and his actions from the depths of our irreducible spirit, meeting him on different fronts: against prisons, capital, speciesism and civilization.

It is in this last front, responding to the call to raise the memory of punky in this Black May, is that we have decided to attack a telecommunications antenna of the Entel company, located on a hill in the commune of Puente Alto, in the capital of the territory dominated by the Chilean state. We are and will always be against the advance of technology and the digitalization of our lives. The existence of these means the exploitation and devastation of the ñuke mapu, the extraction of its minerals through the genocide of wild species in pursuit of the filthy commodities needed by the warriors to reproduce their cursed existence. Antennas like this one erode their natural environment, both at the time of their installation, as well as in the recurrent maintenance they require. Moreover, the effects on the different beings produced by a world overloaded with electromagnetic waves through these antennas and new technologies such as the 5G network are doubtful. We are not scientists nor do we pretend to prove that they do harm, but the invitation of our instinct to destroy them is enough for us.

Vladivostok, Russia: Military recruitment center set on fire!

Posted on 2022/06/13 by darknights

Vladivostok. Russia. In the early morning hours of June 6, 2022, another office for military call-ups and recruitment was set on fire, this time in the wooden building at 23 Uborevicha Street in Vladivostok. The facade of the building was damaged as a result of the fire.

Originally published by A2Day. Translated by Riot Turtle with the support of translation tools.

There is conflicting information about how exactly the attack was carried out.

Komsomolskaya Pravda”, referring to the police, reports about two suspects who threw a bottle with a flammable liquid against the front wall of the building. Passers-by scared away the arsonists, so that the building did not completely went up in flames, the cladding boards burned.

The Telegram channel Shot reports about an arsonist who used a rag prepared with a flammable substance.

The arsonists were able to escape.

This is the 18th arson attack on an enlistment office that has occurred in recent times. This does not even include the arson attacks on other military and industrial facilities, which the authorities are trying to dismiss as accidents.
