Leipzig, Germany: Repression Can Be Expensive – Fire at Skoda

Posted on 2023/03/25 - 2023/03/25 by darknights

Last night, we went out and attacked several new cars of a Skoda dealer in East Leipzig with fire as a reaction to the house searches against antifascists last week. In doing so, we surrendered a total of 19 cars to the flames with simple means – 12 of them burned out completely, the rest were heavily damaged. Skoda proudly participates in equipping police units around the world.

On Wednesday, March 15 – of all days on the international day against police violence – the police stormed 5 apartments of antifascists in Jena and 3 in Leipzig with machine guns at the ready. In the same afternoon, a special task force attacked an entire house on the Eichendorffstraße in Connewitz and even shot(!) several doors open. As background, they named the attacks on neo-Nazis around an international fascist meeting in Budapest in February. Also in Karlsruhe, a house search took place, in which the pigs also proceeded with extreme brutality, background here were the protests against the AfD state party conference in Offenburg.

We were inspired by the call to react to every further wave of raids with plenty of damage to property as well as the practical proposals of the companions, who had already decided on an offensive reaction after the last wave of house searches in Leipzig, and we have already started – so that many more actions may follow!

We have chosen Skoda as a target, because they have been involved in equipping repressive organs all over the world for decades – be it in France, where the flics (cops) are currently trying to put down the social revolt raging there with full force, or in Italy, where the anarchist Alfredo Cospito is currently wrestling with death. With this action, we want to send him and all fighting companions flaming greetings of solidarity.

We are already looking forward to coming together with you militantly on Day-X in the Antifa Ost (Antifa East Germany) proceedings and to collectively oppose the current wave of repression. In case administration, cops or courts think about authoritarian measures against the demo like bans again, they should be clear: This time we are prepared, and it will be really expensive!

Freedom and good luck for all persecuted antifascists, whether in prison or on the run!
Alfredo Libero! For the revolt!

Russia & Ukraine: Radical Resistance 15.02-26.02.2023

Posted on 2023/03/18 - 2023/03/18 by darknights

Voronezh

On 15.02. trains on the Lipetsk line “changed the schedule” at night. The reason – partisans destroyed signalling systems units.

Moscow region .

On February 16, 02 in Yuzhnoe Chertanovo several guerrillas smashed the windows of a Mercedes car with Z-symbols parked in the yard, cut the car up, presumably with an axe, and poured blue paint over the interior.

No one was detained as a result of the action.

Krymsk .

On February 16, the small town of the military airbase in Krymsk was without communication. Guerrillas destroyed the mobile and Internet communications station in the area. Expensive equipment was burned down.

Kaliningrad

On 18.02 eight young guerrillas, all between 15-17 years old, set fire to a relay cabinet, which resulted in a standstill on the railroad.

Unfortunately, all the participants were detained by the police. A criminal case has been opened for intentional destruction or damage to property. The authorities claim that the group was led by 15-year-old Ruslan and that the young guerrillas were acting “on orders from Ukraine”. Such statements by the authorities are made quite often, especially when it comes to very young or very old partisans or people belonging to the lower social strata. What is behind such claims in each particular case, and whether anything is worthwhile at all, we are likely to find out only when the Russian regime is destroyed.

Irkutsk Region

On 18.02 an unknown person tried to set fire to the administration building in Bokhan. Unfortunately, the administration building of the settlement did not burn down, as it was made of brick and lined with metal siding. The attempted arson was noticed by a security guard when he was watching the video surveillance cameras. He called the police, and forensics gathered the remaining evidence. Looking for the arsonist

Cherkessk

On 20.02, unknown offenders tracked down Arbitration Court judge Salpogarov and deputy head of the Treasury of the Russian Federation Elpakanov by car, attacked them with bats, threw them on the ground and beat them up. Elkanov was taken in a serious condition to the hospital. Salpagarov “received less serious injuries.”
The attackers are being sought and hopefully they will not be found.

Atlanta, USA: Forest defenders destroy police outpost

Posted on 2023/03/10 - 2023/03/10 by darknights

On March 5th hundreds of forest defenders in Atlanta succeeded in destroying a police surveillance outpost at the proposed site of “Cop City.”

Defenders marched down a powerline clearing towards police set up doing surveillance by the forested site of the proposed urban warfare campus. This marked the biggest march in the forest thus far.

The scene unfolded by Intrenchment Creek and the Old Prison Farm/proposed “Cop City” site in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta – thousands had flocked to the ongoing Week of Action after police shot and killed a forest defender here in January.

Forest defenders overran the police surveillance outpost. Police retreated after crowd arrived at barbed wire fence and shot fireworks into the area.

Defenders smashed and destroyed the outpost’s remains, despite helicopter presence and sirens ringing in the distance. A security light post, police vehicle, and construction infrastructure were set on fire.

The proposed development of “Cop City” is a massive urban warfare training site to hone police ability to target and violently suppress black and brown populations in the US.

Oakland, USA: Police Vehicle Becomes Target for Arsonists

Posted on 2023/03/02 - 2023/03/02 by darknights

Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Sabotaged in Downtown Oakland

Saturday, February 11th 2023 during the early morning between 1 and 3 am.
The war against the police continues in the East Bay. One Oakland Police cruiser was sabotaged in the Police Administration building parking lot, resulting in it being towed. An accomplice looked out for oncoming traffic and returning police vehicles, while the other approached the lot from the opposite direction.

Officers lazily patrolling the area were easily clocked. There was plenty of time to open the gas cap, which was unlocked to our surprise. Torn cloth soaked in lighter fluid and isopropyl alcohol was stuffed into the gas tank. It stayed lit and ignited the rest of the gas inside, causing it to burn while cops in their SUVs watched and waited for the fire department to come. This took roughly 10-15 minutes while cops sat on their asses, afraid to approach the car.

In the name Tyre Nichols and all black people who have lost their lives to the hands of the police Fuck 12

Minneapolis, USA: Public Works Truck Lit on Fire in Response to Evictions

Posted on 2023/03/01 - 2023/03/01 by darknights

On the early hours of the 24th, in response to the eviction of indigenous elders, land defenders and allies from the roof depot in East Phillips, a Minneapolis public works truck near the depot was lit on fire.

Why light a truck on fire?
The city of Minneapolis continues to ignore the most vulnerable people who live here. The roof depot is an abandoned building which the city wants to demolish and use to expand the public works facility. If the depot is demolished in its current condition, it will unearth plumes of arsenic into the air. East Phillips is one of the most diverse neighborhoods of Minneapolis and is already experiencing pollution and environmental racism.

The community of East Phillips has made their demands for environmental justice known for over a year. The community wants the property converted into an urban farm. Despite overwhelming public response, the city is pushing forward with their plan. A burnt-out truck is a small price to pay to protect the health and safety of our neighbors.

We acted autonomously and encourage others to take matters into their own hands.
We stand in solidarity with comrades in Atlanta who seeking to stop the construction a cop training ground in the Weelaunee forest.

Defend the depot
Vive tortugita
Fuck 12

Weelaunee Forest/Atlanta Forest, U$A: 3 machines burned in honor of Tortuguita to defend Weelaunee

Posted on 2023/02/21 by darknights

Yesterday, it came to Our attention that an area of Weelaunee Forest next to the river, near BlackHall Studios had been clear-cut. The machines they used were left on-site, so in the early morning we came and torched an excavator, bulldozer, and a front-end-loader.

Fuck a machine. Fuck the cops. Fuck liberals who don’t get their hands dirty and try to potray our fallen comrade like some white-washed version of something It (Tortuguita preferred “It” pronouns) was NOT. We believe & hope that Tort did shoot that cop, plain & simple…

At dawn this morning a sacred fire burned in their honor – We just wish more Georgia State Patrol vehicles could have joined the inferno.

Athens, Greece: Acquittal of comrade Kostas K

Posted on 2023/02/16 by darknights

With a significant presence of comrades continued and was completed today the trial of our comrade Kostas K, for the 2007 attack on the vehicles of Minister Voulgarakis (until recently the Minister of Public Protection and with a recent transfer to the Ministry of Culture) and his entourage.

Despite the prosecution’s conviction, the comrade was acquitted by a vote of 5-2 (with the acquittal votes of the four jurors and the president).

Another episode of this ill-conceived hoax of dna excuses ended up in the trash bin, not even convincing those who fabricate them: the monkeys of state security and anti-terrorism.

No comrade is ever alone in the face of the state’s methods.

Solidarity is our weapon

Berlin, Germany: Amazon truck torched – Alfredo Libero!

Posted on 2023/02/16 - 2023/02/16 by darknights

On Saturday morning, the press reported a burned-out truck in Mitte. The cops did not report it at all. What was also not said is that it was a vehicle from Amazon. Probably for a good reason, since there seems to be an increasing number of attacks on companies and infrastructure that profit from current “crises” at the expense of the general public and the environment. Both through the digital transformation of the economy and through the establishment of green capitalism. A further spread of such acts is hardly in the sense of the police press office. In ours however already, esch.

Therefore, now we share this info to close the knowledge gap. Actually, it needs no further explanation why Amazon becomes the target of our rage. Everything that tempts us to attack the technology giant, comrades before us have already put down on paper in detail in letters of denouncement.

Paint, stones and fire against Amazon

Construction crane burned down at Amazon construction site

25 Amazon delivery trucks torched
But now that we are speaking out, we want to use the attention to address the devastating situation of Alfredo Cospito, who is being held incommunicado in Italy. Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than 110 days in order to obtain a relaxation of the conditions of his special detention. In doing so, it seems entirely as if the Italian government is letting him die in full view of the public. A prisoner anarchist fights for some dignity and already democracy shows its true face, and this one looks a hell of a lot like fascism. Unsurprising, yet very revealing.

Alfredo Libero.

Arson in Buryatia

Arson

On the night of February 1, they attacked relay cabinets on the Ivanovo-Kostroma line. They also destroyed a traction substation near Matveev Kurgan station the day before. According to the partisans, thereby they ensured a delay in the transfer of military echelons.

On the same night of February 1 unknown people set fire to a warehouse at the GRU training ground in the settlement of Senezh in Moscow region. The duty officer of m/u 43292 appealed to the emergency services and the fire could not be beaten on their own.

On the night of February 3 an unknown partisan in the military town of Shchelkovo (Moscow region) set fire to and smashed the front window of an expensive foreign car with Z-symbols on it. It is reported that the value of the car enthusiast of the wars of aggression 4.5 million rubles.

February 4 at night, unknown guerrillas, presenting themselves as the “Green Gendarme”, attacked one of the signalling units on the railroad in Karelia. This was reported by the Freedom of Russia Legion. The guerrillas claim that this will hinder the movement of military echelons and freight trains for several days.

On the night of February 6, guerrillas attacked the wooden building of the Tunkinsk inter-district investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation in Buryatia. He used an entire jerry can of gasoline to set it on fire from the rear. The building caught fire very quickly. Despite the fact that the fire was soon extinguished, the rooms inside were pretty badly damaged. Unfortunately, the 56-year-old Oleg Aleksandrov from the village of Kyren was immediately detained on suspicion. Continue reading “Russia: Chronicle of Radical Resistance 1-6. 02.2023” →

Berlin, Germany: Fire in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito – Strabag excavator set on fire!

Posted on 2023/02/14 by darknights

As a sign of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and his hunger strike against the 41bis regime, we set fire to a Strabag excavator Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in the night between 9.2 and 10.2.

Against the society that needs prisons, from whose construction Strabag profits. Against the society which believes in a green capitalism, for which Strabag builds power plants worldwide!

It is to be welcomed that there is an international resonance, which was initiated by the mobilization of the innumerable comrades in Italy. It warms our hearts to see how the solidarity with the anarchist prisoners becomes a weapon that seeks and finds its targets worldwide. Our analyses of this society inevitably lead us to attack and overthrow it. But it is not only dry analyses that move us, we feel a deep disgust for this world with all its constraints. We share the proposals and debates aimed at an international discourse. It takes an informal gathering of enemies of the state to get and stay in motion. Internationalism can thus enable the exchange of experiences, critiques, and perspectives, and promote aggressiveness. We can literally smell the smoke that the wind from the south brings and hear the echo of the comrades shouting: “Alfredo out of the 41bis!

However, it is questionable whether Alfredo will get out of the 41bis regime in the foreseeable future and whether he will be aware of all that is happening “outside”. It is also questionable whether he will survive this showdown with authority. It seems that the die is already cast. The Italian government has said several times that it will not back down. Surely there is much more at stake for them than “just” having a dead anarchist on their conscience.

However, fighting from an anarchist perspective means much more to us than saving a single life in this acute situation. Probably Alfredo has already made his decision long ago, as it is put up for debate in the text “Anytime – Some reflections on the last months of mobilization in Italy”. However, we can take the uncompromising nature of his actions as inspiration to intensify the subversion and ensure that the echo of his struggle, now clearly heard beyond Italy’s borders, will not be silenced anytime soon. With passion and joy, and armed with our dreams, against all that prevents us from realizing them; state, government, authority, justice, capitalism and the power structure that sustains it all.

Freedom comes through fighting movement – For more state decomposition!
Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Ivan, Dayid, Tonio and all other rebels in the jails.
Greetings to the anarchist from the Parkbank trial, who is imprisoned again in Hamburg
In memory of Tortuguita, who was shot by cops on January 18 during a raid on the StopCopCity occupation (Atlanta, USA). Rest in Power!

Long live anarchy!
