Hamburg, Germany: You Are The Crisis! DHL Fleet Torched

Posted on 2023/05/17 - 2023/05/17 by darknights

The face of the exploitative system is sometimes only visible in this world by looking behind the numerous corporate logos that flash back and forth before our eyes every day, spitting at us from illuminated billboards or pestering us penetratingly from the Internet.

The companies behind names like Amazon, Tesla, Vattenfall, Deutsche Bahn, Thyssen-Krupp, Telekom, DHL, etc., leave much more visible traces in other areas of the world. Destruction of nature and war have turned this earth into a battlefield and the people and animals who live on it into mentally and physically unwell beings.

The analyses that try to capture what has led to the current misery here since the beginning of the industrial age are neither abstract nor far-fetched. They clearly name the capitalist actors as the culprits and the patriarchal system they adhere to as the root cause. Only complete idiots still believe that reformist policies and green capitalism can be acceptable ways out of the crisis.

For us, it will never be enough to mark our cross at the next election or to consume or do without in one way or another. Another world can only become possible with diverse means. That is why on the night of May 11 we attacked with fire a fleet of trucks of the company DHL. Several vans and box trucks were thus given over to the flames.

With an armada of trucks, vans and a large squadron of airplanes, DHL is an enormous, CO2-emitting polluter that exemplifies the destructive lifestyle of the industrial system. Even the greenwashing campaign that this corporation runs can only fool the most naive. Let’s destroy as much as we can to slow down the destruction of the planet.

Berlin, Germany: You are the crisis – Episode 17: Police supplier Peugeot

Posted on 2023/05/05 by darknights

A series of attacks around the world on car dealerships and authorized dealers of certain vehicle brands in recent years opened up the suggestion of a strategic line: anyone who provides mobility and transportation for the police is treated as an enemy. In the police equipment market, a handful of corporations compete for the favor of state death squads.

We are facing them, on the side of the mass riots in the French state against the “pension reform”, in the hot neighborhoods of the banlieues where BAC and other units have been killing for decades, on the side of our comrades in Sainte-Soline, with the insurgents of the French colonies … , everywhere where with Peugeot the vehicles of one of the most important vehicle manufacturers of France are in use.

To give just a few examples, also in Greece we see the same enemies of freedom as helpers of the Greek police. Almost four hundred Peugeot 308 were handed over as new patrol cars. With tinted windows “to transport delinquents inconspicuously”, the group advertises its product.

Peugeot Deutschland GmbH supplies the Saarland police with everything the technocratic brain desires, 120 patrols, 80 undercover investigation vehicles, vans …

On the night of April 21, we burned twenty-five vehicles on the premises of the Peugeot dealership on Landsberger Allee in Berlin-Marzahn. Among them fancy electric SUVs and several vans (presumably leased vehicles) of the security company ISS. ISS is not only involved in the operation of jails but also through a share in the company UNISON in the destruction and privatization of parks in Athens.

Russia: Radical Resistance 29.03 – 13.04.2023

Posted on 2023/04/18 by darknights

Bashkortostan

On March 29 the court ordered four guerrillas to be put under arrest who used flammable liquid to set fire to a relay cabinet located at the 3rd kilometer of the line “Karlaman – Priuralie” in Karmaskalinsky district of the republic. Among the detainees were a student of a radio engineering college, a furniture polisher, an unemployed man and a teenager.

According to the investigation, after the first successful arson, they decided to set fire to a second cabinet near Urshak station. There they were detained, wearing balaclavas and carrying flammable liquids.

A criminal case was instigated under articles “Act of terrorism” and “Preparation for a crime”, while the first arson was prosecuted under article “Intentional destruction or damage to property”.

Kemerovo

On 31.03 guerrillas burnt a relay cabinet, this time in Kemerovo. The RDPS movement claimed responsibility, reporting that the local media were ordered to cover up the incident. The guerrillas managed to get away.

St. Petersburg

02.04 A bomb was detonated in a cafe in St. Petersburg, killing Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), a military correspondent and propagandist for Putin’s regime. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the explosive device detonated by remote control detonated between 300 and 450 grams of TNT equivalent. Responsibility for the action was claimed by “the St. Petersburg column of the National Republican Army,” associated with the tg-channel Rospartizan.

Cafe Patriot was founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, and then handed it over to the patriotic movement Cyber Front Z. It organized a “creative evening” for Tatarsky.

Daria Trepova, an FBK supporter and participant of anti-war actions, was indicted. She is charged under Part 3 B of Article 205, Part 4 of Article 222.1 of the Criminal Code (terrorist act committed by an organized group, deliberately causing human death; illegal carrying of explosive devices, committed by an organized group). According to the investigation, on April 2, Trepova, “following the instructions of persons acting from the territory of Ukraine”, brought a statue stuffed with explosives to the cafe and gave it to Tatarsky.

Daria was detained in a rented apartment in the Vyborg district of the city. During the interrogation she stated that she was used undercover, that she did not know what was inside the statuette. She also stated that the fulfillment of the task of gaining Tatarsky’s trust and passing the statuette was a condition of getting a good job in Kiev.

Trento, Italy: Acquitted anarchist comrades and companion accused of the Feb. 5, 2019 arson attack against the Rovereto courthouse

Posted on 2023/04/04 by darknights

Acquitted anarchist comrades and companion accused of the Feb. 5, 2019 arson attack against the Rovereto courthouse

The appeal hearing held on March 27 at the Trento assize court for a trial involving defendants Nico, Sasha and Poza (the last two currently being held for sentencing in the “Renata” trial), accused of setting fire to the front door of the Rovereto (Trento) courthouse, ended with acquittals for all three defendants. Every once in a while good news. As a reminder, for Operation “Renata,” Poza and Rupert are on semi-release at Spini di Gardolo prison, Sasha is under house arrest with all restrictions, and the others are awaiting execution of their sentences.

Courthouse entrance set on fire (Rovereto, Feb. 5, 2019)

We learn from local media that on the night of February 4-5, one of the courthouse’s entrance gates, the one that allows access for prison police vehicles, was set on fire. A few meters away, on the wall of the old prison, the inscription “All free, fire to the courts” was left.

Lille, France: Claim of the arson of a Groupama car

Posted on 2023/04/03 - 2023/04/04 by darknights

The other night, between Monday and Tuesday, we were raging against this world of cages, private property, exploitation and destruction of the living. So we set fire to a Groupama car, which was lying around on the rue des frères Vaillant in Lille.

Among other insurance company crap, Groupama has joined as a civil party in the trial of the Bure association of criminals. So this burning car was also against CIGEO and the people who defend it.

We learned in the bourgeois press that the fire had spread to 5 other cars in the street. We would like to remind you that our target was the Groupama car and not this collateral fire on private property.

The Voix du Nord (DN: local media scum) takes advantage of this to ask for the installation of video surveillance cameras in the neighborhood and to feed a security discourse. This must please insurance companies like Groupama, who are also actively participating in the construction of a world governed by control, speculation and individualism.

Fire to the state, to the prisons and to the insurance companies!

Russia: Radical Resistance 22.03 -29.03.2023

Posted on 2023/04/03 - 2023/04/03 by darknights

Amur Region

Although authorities did not officially name the cause of the fire in the military registration and enlistment office in the Amur Region’s Svobodny village on 22 March, there is every reason to believe that it was caused by the actions of Amur guerrillas. The fire was extinguished by two fire engines. In September 2022 an attempt to burn the military registration and enlistment office in the village of Svobodny, at that time only the facade was burnt, now the attempt has been more successful.

Yaroslavl

On 23.03. there was a fire at the Yaroslavl motor plant Avtodizel. The plant manufactures engines for the Topol-M missile systems. It is reported that the electrical substation was the first to catch fire, burning transformer oil over an area of 30 square meters. Seven people were rescued by firemen from the burning building, another 218 people were evacuated by the site administration.
Fires at the plant have happened more than once. We have no information about the cause of this fire, but we hope that the production of military equipment was well damaged.

North Ossetia, Ingushetia

On the night of March 27-28, guerrillas attacked the police checkpoint Volga-14 and the police returned fire. The attack took place on the border of the two republics, but in North Ossetia, at the intersection of Nazran – Kantyshevo and Malgobek – Mayskoe roads. It was the first attack in the region in more than three years.

One policeman was shot in the leg, another hit his head on impact after hitting his flak jacket with a bullet. The attackers managed to get away and were reported to be at least three persons. Continue reading “Russia: Radical Resistance 22.03 -29.03.2023” →

Napoli + Pozzuoli, Italy: Raids on houses of comrades in connection to a 270 bis investigation into attacks in solidarity with revolutionary prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas

Posted on 2023/04/01 - 2023/04/01 by darknights

On March 28, two houses, one in Napoli and one in Pozzuoli, were raided and four comrades were taken to the police station, in connection with a 270 bis investigation (anti-terrorist association), which was officialized in May 2022 following several house-searches.

Although the investigation is still ongoing, one comrade was placed under preventive arrest, accused of an arson attack against the Greek consulate in 2021. The prosecution contextualizes this attack within the campaign in solidarity with revolutionary Greek prisoner Dimitris Koufontinas, who at the time was on hunger strike.

The comrade has now been taken to the Secondigliano prison and is placed in the AS2 section (high security unit), while the three other comrades were released. According to the case’s files, the timing of the arrest was influenced by the relentless solidarity actions with Alfredo Cospito, an anarchist prisoner currently on hunger strike against the 41 bis regime and life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

This operation is part of a witch hunt that wants to frame anarchists as a public enemy to be eliminated. In the context of the countless actions in solidarity with Alfredo in Italy and abroad, we clearly see this repressive blow as part of the state’s attempt is to stifle every and any spark of rebellion.

When faced with repression, our solidarity will never stop.

Genoa, Italy: Arson attack on IREN group vehicles in solidarity with anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito & anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2023/04/01 - 2023/04/01 by darknights

Received anonymously & transmitted:

Democracy cannot allow certain thoughts to be clearly expressed, and certain words to be used with impunity, because they could make inroads among the oppressed, among the excluded. These words without stakes take on greater weight for me because they cost me and will cost me more years in prison, but it’s my way of resisting, of fighting back.

Alfredo Cospito (January 2021)
 
On the night of 31 March we attacked some vehicles of the IREN group with fire, a leading company in Italy in the district heating service, operating in the production and distribution of electricity and technological services. IREN is a young company but with a veteran entrepreneurial posture in line with all the other criminal multinationals such as ENI and Benetton that profit from the destruction and looting of territories around the planet. This was enough to put the IREN group in our sights, if we then add, in recent weeks’ news, that IREN has entered into agreements with the Israeli Mekorot water company which implements water apartheid from the Palestinian people, then the choice of attacking her was more than spot on. Our thoughts go to Alfredo who, with his struggle, a true manifesto of dignity and freedom, gave us the strength and courage to put ourselves on the line. May the flames of this attack warm his body after more than five months of hunger strike. We close this article with a clarification: we do not participate in the dichotomy that the regime’s politicians and media are promoting, that of a struggle between an anarchist against the state. Anarchists declared war on authority almost two centuries ago, certainly not on October 20, 2022 – the start of Alfredo’s hunger strike. You must understand that if Alfredo were to die or remain alive, if Alfredo were free or would remain a prisoner, we have already declared ourselves your bitter enemies some time ago and we will continue to be however things go.
 
WARM THOUGHTS TO ANNA, IVAN AND JUAN.
REVOLUTIONARY SOLIDARITY TO ALL ANARCHIST PRISONERS AROUND THE WORLD!
LONG LIVE BLACK INTERNATIONAL!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!
DEATH TO THE STATE!

Partisan ’22: Russia’s Anti-Putin Underground

Posted on 2023/03/26 - 2023/03/26 by darknights

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, anti-Putin Russian partisans began to launch sabotage operations against Kremlin infrastructure inside their country.

After almost one year of war, these cells in Russia have grown exponentially. From Moscow to Vladivostok, there have been more than 80 confirmed anti-government attacks in the past 12 months.

FSB building on fire

Bashkiria

On March 12, near Karlaman station the electrics in the SFT1 cabinet, responsible for centralization and interlocking of communication systems, were completely burnt out.

Buryatia

On March 14 SFT was destroyed in Buryatia. We have already written about this action, but now it became known that the action took place in Smolensk at the same time.

Smolensk

On March 14, SFT on the newly built route before the entrance to Smolensk region was destroyed. The result was a serious delay of the train with fuel and lubricants.

The Revolutionary Movement Right of Power took responsibility for both actions (in Buryatia and Smolensk).

Bryansk region

Around 4 p.m. on March 14 on an oil pumping station the chief of patrol noticed a suspicious object, which turned out to be an IED with shocking elements – plastic and metal balls. The sappers disarmed it.

Rostov-on-Don

On March 16 a huge fire broke out in the building of FSB2 border guard department. The fire was preceded by the sound of an explosion. Governor Golubev claims that the cause of the incident was a short circuit in the electrical wiring inside the building: “The fire spread and caused explosions of containers with fuel and lubricants. The fire spread over an area of 800 square meters and caused the collapse of two walls.

The FSB claims that “the explosion in the garage of the FSB border guard directorate in Rostov-on-Don was caused by combustion of fuel and lubricants.

The 161.RU newspaper reported, citing a source in law enforcement agencies, that a shell exploded in the garage. According to the source, only after that the fire moved on to the fuel.

Eyewitnesses say they first heard a strong explosion, then several weaker ones and only then saw the fire.

According to TASS, citing emergency services, one person died and two others were injured. Hopefully, the victims are FSB personnel.

Saratov

On March 16, two relay cabinets on the Zorinsky – Trofimovsky-2 line were set on fire. Two local residents, 42 year old Alexey K. and 55 year old Samvel P. were detained on suspicion of arson.

St. Petersburg

An act of sabotage took place on the night of March 17 on tracks from St. Petersburg to Lomonosov in the territory of Gorelovo district. Guerillas set fire to a relay cabinet, 350 meters away from a petrol station. The burning relay cabinet was seen by an electric train driver on his way from St. Petersburg to Lomonosov. Unfortunately, the guerillas did not manage to open the cabinet, so it was burnt only on the outside and the equipment was not damaged.

Tver

It is reported that as of March 17, 3 Z-mobiles have been set on fire in the last two weeks. The cars burned to the ground.
