News extracted from the biweekly internationalist anarchist “Bezmotivny“, no. 14

On June 29, in Athens, Dayvid was arrested. He had been sentenced to 6 years for the clashes of October 15, 2011 in Rome by the Supreme Court last May 25.

For him the European Arrest Warrant has been requested immediately after the sentence.

He is currently detained in the prison of Korydallos. On July 13 he will have the first hearing before the Greek court for the validation of the EAW.

The coordinates for a solidarity fund for legal and living expenses will be announced soon.

Freedom for all!

Note:
The condemnation of the comrade is for the riots that happened in Rome on October 15, 2011. A large demonstration – about 300 thousand people – organized by the “disobedient “* and other left-wing groups to give life to a kind of movement of the “indignant “** also in Italy. The clashes between several thousands of people and the forces of order have decided differently. Now some protesters arrested then have been convicted for “devastation and looting”.

* also called ‘tutte bianche’. In their component there are some social centers of ex-worker autonomy tendency and that in the last decades have positioned themselves in and for the institutional politics. In fact their maximum exponents have presented themselves indistinctly as the Green Party, the Communist Refoundation Party, etc.

** born in the Spanish state and taking some anarchist ideas/practices such as assembly, non-hierarchy, etc., they were quickly taken, by the various groups that composed it, to Leninist and pro-institutional positions. Deriving into yet another party.

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

Posted on 2022/09/28 by darknights

UNISON is an environmental killer company carrying out Bakoyannis’ orders, with the aim, using saws, of wiping out everything wild that surrounds us. Its employees follow the orders of the cops. The rich want to see the world we dream of wiped out forever.

UNISON kills the trees and bushes, cuts the grass and branches to make our parks and streets more livable. To remove the possibility of hiding from the forces of repression. To facilitate evacuations of homeless people who take refuge in the wild darkness. Place lights to eliminate the darkness. For in the darkness the wild grows. The wild and the darkness scares them – the state, the rich, the cops, the culture.

The last UNISON attack was in Cyprus Park in Patissia. They are also central to the current attacks against Strefis Hill and Drakopoulos Park. The company is also present at metro stations such as Omonia.

It was very nice to find one of their company vehicles parked on the streets of Metaxourgeio, at the corner of Paramythias and Mykalis streets. So in the early morning hours of September 27th we burned it, so they could pay a little bit of what they have taken.

Our attack is in the context of class warfare: while underpaid workers go to work on public transport, middle-class UNISON employees have company vehicles, representing their aggressive concept of a clean and safe metropolis. The location of our fire, in a neighbourhood suffering from a constant gentrification campaign that excludes the poor to establish another silly entertainment and airbnb district. And UNISON is a central part of this gentrification process across the city.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attack of an OTE van

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

The state, using the doctrine of law and order, intensifies its repressive action. It sells security to the rich and all those who have decided to live with their heads down. Everywhere around us there are cameras, cops, security guards to ‘guard’ the squares, the parks, the universities, the neighbourhoods, always ready to suppress any wrongdoing. The aim of any state is to create widespread fear and to deaden parts of society that continue to struggle.So let us make it clear that neither their copocracy nor their laws scare us. Our voices and our actions will continue until the destruction of all power. We did not expect nor do we intend to wait for all the oppressed to rise up to return the violence they do to us daily. ‘

‘We need struggle, struggle, struggle; struggle with shouts and slogans at demonstrations, struggle with flaming Molotov cocktails, struggle with stones and paint, struggle with guns, grenades and bombs, struggle with pencils, pens and books, struggle with arson and conspiracies, struggle and always struggle.’

Ch. Tsakalos

We fight in the here and now and we attack every state and capitalist objective. The destruction of every such goal is a breath of our own freedom. We take responsibility for the arson of a van of the telephone company OTE in N. Chalkidona.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the attack on the political office of Takis Theodorikakos

Posted on 2022/09/18 by darknights

The present social system cannot mitigate social inequalities, because it generates them and is built on them. It cannot eliminate wars, because it breeds wars and feeds on them. It does not care about the ecological destruction of the planet it creates.

The current social system, which has profit as its religion and ideology, is responsible for the thousands killed in labor “accidents”, the thousands of dead migrants at the borders, the millions killed by wars, hunger, water shortages.

The primary violence of Capital, the violence of exploitation, the violence of the oppressors aimed at maintaining and increasing social inequalities, the blatant contempt for the lives of the people of our Class, must be crushed.

The violence of the State and Capital is terrorizing the social base. The violence of the repressive mechanisms, the violence of poverty and unemployment, alienation, apathy and alienation.

The repressive mechanisms of the State are, especially at this juncture, the vanguard of a peculiar democratic junta that is shredding every notion of freedom and justice. It strikes at every voice of protest and resistance. The constant upgrading of the State’s legal arsenal, with the passing of ongoing and new decrees that shrink individual freedoms and collective acquis, aims to criminalize the traditional forms of resistance of the class/contest movement (demonstration, strike). At the same time, it creates conditions of preventive counter-insurgency until the final surrender of the (antagonistic movement) to the appetites of the employers, the fascists, the repressive mechanisms. The permanent bans on even the most peaceful means of protest and questioning and the crushing of those who strongly and stubbornly resist this condition is a breakthrough for the post-independence period.

The ongoing repressive attacks against striking workers, the permanent occupying police army at the universities and in the neighbourhood of Exarcheia, the unyielding attitude of the government towards the last means of struggle of political prisoners (such as the hunger strike), the constant impunity of uniformed murderers and torturers and their rewarding by the media (see the murder of Sampanis), reveal the extreme intensification of the repressive policy implemented by the modern neoliberal/police state.

Athens, Greece: Smashing of cars of the security company that is in charge of security at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA)

Posted on 2022/09/10 - 2022/09/10 by darknights

On Wednesday 7/9 we attacked and smashed 3 cars of the security company that is in charge of the security of the National University of Athens. The guards in front, although outnumbered, did not dare to move against us. This on a day when the university was surrounded by all kinds of cops.

The cops, whether private or governmental, will always find us facing them. This attack was a first taste of what really awaits the cops when they try to get in. If they think all they have to deal with is the fair at the gate they are deluded.

GET THE COPS OF ANY KIND OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR LIVES.

Athens, Greece: Incendiary attack on a mobile phone antenna in Paleo Psychiko by ‘Anti-civilizational cell of total chaos and destruction – FAI/ELF’

Posted on 2022/08/30 by darknights

I’m going into the dark.

The green lights of the security vehicles watch the streets and corners.

They spy, they guard, bringing security to the neighborhood of the rich.

They don’t know what’s happening to them.

Under their noses, I’m getting to my target.

An antenna that pollutes the sky with radio signals.

A cursed place, my howling at the moon, my fire, my curse (in the form of an incendiary device)

I say:

I bring this curse to spread in all six directions.

East, west, north, south, the underworld and the overworld.

I curse all cops and prison guards.

I curse all people who act like cops. (Parents, family, teachers, social workers, guidance counselors, all kinds of preachers, bosses and snitches)

May all of you and your attitudes be extinguished by fire.

I curse all prisons. (Whether they imprison people with two, four, six or many legs, or whether they imprison people with roots and leaves)

May the fire consume all prisons forever.

I curse the job and the whole industry.

I curse all the rich. (The true sickness of this world)

May all this be consumed by fire.

I curse the city.

I curse civilization itself. (The corpse of Leviathan rotting and feeding on men and earth)

May it all be reduced to rubble by fire.

May this curse spread everywhere.

I light the fuse.

I come out of the darkness.

I look back from a distance.

I see the cloud of smoke in the sky. I smile.

For a brief moment the chaos cancels out the order.

Anything can happen…

Silence spreads…

Radio silence…

This act was done in solidarity with:

Giannis Michailidis and Pola Roupa.

Alfredo Cospito and Toby Shone.

Marius Mason, Leonard Peltier and Ladislav Kuc.

The Mapuche warriors of Ellicora 8.

In solidarity with all indigenous people fighting against civilization and colonialism.

In solidarity with the struggles at the Strefi Hill and Exarcheia Square.

URGENT: Occupation at ADEDY (Civil Servants’ Confederation) in solidarity with the hunger striker G. Michailidis

Posted on 2022/07/27 by darknights

A few hours ago we occupied the ADEDY building at 2 Psyllas Street in Syntagma, in solidarity with comrade G. Michailidis who is on hunger strike since 23/5. The occupation will continue until the publication of the council’s decision.

We warn the judicial authorities and make it clear that the delay of the decision or the possibility of a rejection of the decision by the Lamia council is tantamount to state murder of the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis. We therefore emphatically emphasise the weight of responsibility that weighs on this decision and the timing of the decision.

On Monday 25 July, after 64 days of a hunger strike, the court of appeal in Lamia held a hearing for his release. Although there was a commitment on the part of the council to make the decision in time, we understand that the timeframe for respecting the hunger striker has passed. Indeed, they have been elapsed since the Amfissa council delayed a month in issuing its decision. Any further delay on the part of the Lamia council constitutes further torture and an attempt to eliminate our comrade.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for an arson attack on a porsche by ‘Children of chaos’

Posted on 2022/07/27 - 2022/07/27 by darknights

In the early morning of 09/07 we placed an incendiary device in a luxury car (porsche), in the area of Vyrona. Our fire did not succeed in destroying the vehicle completely, it only created extensive damage. The fact that the owners of luxury cars sleep with one eye open so as not to lose their expensive property and sometimes get away with it, shows us that we do our job well. Next time they will not be so lucky.

We dedicate our energy to comrade Giannis Michailidis and to every prisoner, political or otherwise, who takes a fighting and dignified stand in the cages of democracy.

Explosive greetings to every grouping or not that acts at night, insulting the petty bourgeois silence.

Long live anarchy in the here and now forever

Long live the informal anarchist groups.

We in turn call for the continuation of hostilities against the state and its patrons.

GIANNIS HOLD STRONG

URGENT: Critical health condition of 65-day hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

URGENT: Critical health condition of 65-day hunger striker Giannis Michailidis

On Monday 25 July, after 64 days of hunger strike, the court of appeal in Lamia held a hearing for his release. Although there was a commitment on the part of the council to issue the decision in time, we understand that the timeframe for respecting the hunger striker has passed. Indeed, they have been elapsed since the Amfissa council delayed a month in issuing its decision. Any further delay on the part of the Lamia council constitutes further torture and an attempt to eliminate our comrade.

As for his health, comrade Giannis Michailidis estimates that he will not be able to drink any water until Thursday, as his body is so badly damaged that he suffers constant palpitations, which make swallowing water impossible. He has now lost 20.6 pounds, more than 28% of his original body weight. In general he states that he has no strength, moves very little and has severe pain in his spleen, left kidney and chest. He is also forced to sleep sitting up due to constant stomach upsets. His blood sugar has dropped to 71 and his blood pressure is 8 and 6. He is very dizzy and cannot concentrate.

The rejection of decisions and proposals so far, and the fact that the council was set on a date when the comrade was on 64 days of hunger strike, blatantly shows that the state and bourgeois justice have two weights and measures. They exterminate, torture and force to death an anarchist militant, while releasing scum murderers and rapists such as Korkoneas, Filippidis, Horterias, Leventis and Lignadis. Justice is class-based, and it is our responsibility to bring justice to the streets by joining forces and fighting actively to end the extermination of Giannis Michailidis. To rally and fight with all our strength for the release of our comrade. To support and accompany the solidarity calls of the coming days:

Athens, Greece: Multiple direct actions claimed in solidarity with anarchist hunger strike Giannis Michailidis

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

Athens, Greece: ‘The hunger strike continues – and so do the breakages.’ Attack on ELTA (Greek Postal Service)

A few hours before the council in Lamia regarding the decision on the satisfaction or not of the request of Giannis Michailidis, we broke the windows of the ELTA in Kaisariani on the road of Ethnikis Antistasis. Of course the council is not interested in this, but Giannis will know that the breaking continues until the release. The answer to the state’s repression is given in the streets. If the forces of the state destroy our marches, the city will be filled at night with alarms waiting to interrupt with their sound the illusion of security.

Freedom to Giannis Michailidis; until the destruction of every prison

Athens, Greece: Attack on Aigaleo Town Hall, two municipal service vehicles and the local metro station

Giannis Michailidis has been on hunger strike since 23/5 until today, demanding his release after the rejection of two requests for his release by the councils of the lackeys of political power.

This vindictive attitude of the state towards an anarchist leads us to a minimal gesture of solidarity with his struggle.

In the early morning of Friday 22/7 we broke the facade of the Aigaleo Town Hall, two municipal service vehicles and one side of the elevator of the Metro station across the street.

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack on DEDDIE (Greek Electricity Distribution Network Operator) and HERON (Electricity company)

The daily brutal class attack that we receive from the capitalist government of the New Democracy and the bourgeois economic power through the inclusion of the basic commodity of electricity in the stock exchange is a blatant attack on the core of our lives.

To defend ourselves against this asymmetrical violence of the state and to cut the root of the bourgeois commodity system that daily gambles our survival, we must resort to the multiform practices of revolutionary, liberatory and de-alienating violence of the competing anarchist and communist movements.

It is in this context that we have found it necessary to intervene and break:

-a branch of the DEDDIE in Kallithea -a branch of HERON in Argyroupoli

Comrades

PS: We send our solidarity to the anarchist political prisoner Giannis Michailidis, who is on hunger strike since 23/5.
