Rome, Italy: Claiming fire barricade and stone pelting against Terna headquarters (November 2, 2023)

Posted on 2023/11/26 by darknights

Claiming fire barricade and stone pelting Rome – November 2.

On the night of November 2, we placed and set fire to tires blocking both directions of traffic in front of the Terna spa headquarters on Via Egidio Galbani and threw stones to break its glass.

Terna is the main company in Italy for the construction and maintenance of electricity infrastructure, but it also operates abroad in countries such as Chile. Terna is not only responsible for the environmental devastation and pollution that follows the building of power lines and related transformer stations, as a leading actor in the process of electrifying the world as a consequence of the unhealthy idea of progress that this deadly system propagates, but it is also a promoter of the “green revolution” caused by the recent need to restructure capitalism that will only bring further exploitation of ecosystems and people. Unveiling its responsibilities is one of the goals of our action.

This action is to be seen as part of the international campaign to free Marcelo Villarroel. Marcelo is an anarchist prisoner in Chile’s state prisons who was imprisoned after a period of absconding in 2007 for a series of bank expropriations. He was sentenced to more than 40 years in prison without access to prison benefits because he was held responsible for certain actions that took place during the years of the military dictatorship in Chile and therefore condemned by military laws. Despite the rhetoric, Chilean democracy shows perfect continuity with the dictatorial regime when it comes to striking those who act without mediation for the end of all oppression and exploitation caused by the State and Capital. That is why we join the chorus of actions and initiatives for its immediate liberation.
IMMEDIATE FREEDOM FOR MARCELO VILLARROEL SEPULVEDA!

We would like to take this opportunity to send solidarity greetings to anarchist Francisco Solar and anarchist Monica Caballero, who have undergone a lengthy trial in recent months for the collation of explosive devices against institutional targets in the context of the 2019 uprising in Chile, of which they were recently found guilty.
SOLIDARITY TO MONICA AND FRANCISCO!

We would also like to express our solidarity with Alfredo Cospito who was recently refused for the umpteenth time the cancellation of his classification under the 41bis prison regime.
FORZA ALFREDO! THE STRUGGLE IS NOT OVER!

Solidarity with the anarchist Stecco recently arrested by police special units after 2 years of absconding.

SOLIDARITY TO ALL ANARCHISTS AND ANARCHICS IMPRISONED, HIT BY REPRESSION OR ON THE RUN!

FINALLY WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUR SOLIDARITY AND STRENGTH TO ALL THOSE PALESTINIANS WHO ARE RESISTING AND FIGHTING AGAINST THE INFAMOUS ZIONIST OCCUPATION AND GENOCIDE OF THEIR PEOPLE.

RESIGNATION IS DEATH, REVOLT IS LIFE.
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attacks at Internado Barros Arana, Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño, Instituto Nacional and Liceo de Aplicación 5 years after Kevin Garrido’s death

Posted on 2023/11/26 - 2023/11/26 by darknights

On November 3 and 4, four high schools in Santiago agitated with leaflets, banners, barricades and confrontations with Molotov cocktails against the presence of carabineros (COP), in commemoration of the comrade Kevin Garrido murdered five years ago inside Santiago 1. Refreshing his memory, we share a brief account of his life trajectory:

In the early morning of November 19, 2015, eighteen-year-old Kevin, in complicity with the night, went on his bicycle to the perimeter of the gendarmerie school of San Bernardo, armed with a bomb, a lighter and a knife. After the detonation, the filthy police, who were already on his trail after a long investigation, captured him a few meters from the place, and simultaneously, Joaquín García was kidnapped from his home, leaving both of them in captivity in the filthy high security prison, specifically in the maximum security section. Accusing both of the explosive attack ( thwarted) to the 12th police station of carabineros of San Miguel (October 29, 2015), bomb “composed of a 6 kilogram fire extinguisher filled with more than 3 kilos of black powder, about 100 4-inch nails and 50 1-inch nails inside to function as shrapnel, a 1 liter bottle of sulfuric acid and two one-liter bottles with benzine, all this activated by remote control, consisting of a cell phone connected to a 2.5 volt light bulb modified as a detonator”, claimed by International Conspiracy for Revenge/Deflagration Cell Gerasimos Tsakalos, also for an explosive attack to the electricity company Chilectra (October 16, 2015) claimed by the Karr-kai Cell and the explosive attack against the gendarmerie school in San Bernardo (November 19, 2015), the latter two attacks linked only to Kevin. [DN Note: All three attacks have been translated below for reference]

After 7 months in captivity, Kevin asks to be transferred to the prison/slaughterhouse Santiago 1.

On June 15, 2018, the inquisitorial trial of the comrades begins, declaring them guilty on August 15; Joaquín for illegal possession of a firearm, which he was carrying at the time of being captured while he was in hiding after breaking a total house arrest measure, and also for the attack on the 12th police station in San Miguel, together with Kevin, who was also found guilty of the explosive attack on the gendarmerie school in San Bernardo. On September 5, 2018 they are sentenced to a total of 13 years in prison for Joaquín and 17 years for Kevin.

On November 2, when going down to the yard, the comrade is involved in a fight with another prisoner, which seemed to be one of the many daily conflicts that are lived in that place, being lethally wounded; without receiving timely medical assistance, he is transferred already deceased from Santiago 1 an hour and a quarter later to the external hospital “Barros Luco”.

Banners and pamphlets read: “Fire to the prisons and to those who sustain them. Every death in prison is a State crime. Kevin Garrido present”, “Down with the cages of civilized society”, “Long live terror, explosions and fire”, “Five years after the murder of comrade Kevin Garrido. We call for a black November in memory of those fallen in the social/anti-social war” and “Joaquín García to the streets”.

Below are some pictures of the events:

Chile: Incendiary outburst at Liceo Confederación Suiza in solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar

Posted on 2023/09/01 by darknights

On Friday, August 25, banners, pamphlets, barricades and confrontations with Molotov were deployed against the presence of Carabineros (COP), in solidarity with Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar who are being accused of the placement and detonation of explosive devices in 2019 and 2020 signed by the cells “Cómplices Sediciosos/Fracción por la Venganza” and “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta” (Armed Affinities in Revolt).

Banners and leaflets read: “After us will come many more. Liceo a13 active and combative” and “Facing the trial against the comrades: to overflow solidarity with Monica and Francisco”.

Milan, Italy: Sentence from the trial for the clashes and resistance to the eviction of Corvaccio Squat and Rosa Nera on November 18, 2014

Posted on 2023/07/06 by darknights

Sentence from the trial for the clashes and resistance to the eviction of the Corvaccio Squat and the Rosa Nera on November 18, 2014 in Milan

On Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014, the anarchist occupations Corvaccio Squat and Rosa Nera – Occupied Anarchist Space, located on Via Ravenna in Milan’s Corvetto neighborhood, were being evicted with a huge number of trucks, cops, DIGOS, helicopters, and the like.

On July 3, 2023, the trial process for those resisting the eviction and the ensuing day of struggle that lasted well into the evening came to an end, with sentences of up to eight months.

Support the occupations, against all evictions: solidarity and resistance!

To put the facts in context, below is a text published in November 2014:

Corvaccio resists, Corvetto ignites
Communiqué for the evictions of the Corvaccio squat and the Rosa Nera anarchist space

An abnormal awakening for Corvetto on Tuesday, November 18: in Via Ravenna instead of cappuccino and brioche, breakfast with tear gas and barricades.

It is 7 a.m. when the neighborhood, already alert and on the alert for the much heralded “eviction emergency,” notices the approach of a large number of pickup trucks. They head for Ravenna Street and close with vehicles and men two entire blocks with the clear intention of evicting Corvaccio and Rosa Nera. The former is an occupied house in which little less than a dozen rebels have lived for more than two years, while the latter an an anarchist space that for almost eight months has been hosting concerts and aperitifs in support of the prisoners, meetings, screenings and assemblies on various issues of struggle, and where at low speed a drumming class, a screen-printing workshop, a gymnasium and a documentation center are also coming to life.

The fierce press campaign, which for a week now in all newspapers nationwide has been painting those two spaces as the nerve centers of a phantom “black immovables,” turns out to be insubstantial in comparison to the relationships of trust and commonality, which day by day are growing among the neighborhood’s occupants, who are now accustomed to taking to the streets to resist the evictions together.

France: ‘La rage, partout’ Responses after the umpteenth police execution

Rage, everywhere

~~Le Monde~~ / Thursday June 29, 2023

The night of Wednesday June 28 to Thursday June 29 was marked by major tension and damage in many Paris suburbs, with urban violence spreading to other French cities such as Toulouse and Lyon, following the death in Nanterre of Nahel M., a 17-year-old teenager killed by a police officer for refusing to obey orders.

Although calm in the early evening, the situation then became tense in the Hauts-de-Seine suburb, already the scene of clashes between residents and police during the night. More than a dozen cars and dumpsters were set on fire, and barriers were placed on the road, as Le Monde journalists observed. The walls of one building were tagged with the words “Justice for Nahel” and “Police kills”.

At 2 a.m., small, highly mobile groups were still clashing in the Pablo-Picasso district. Police forces had withdrawn and were no longer visible in a part of the housing estate that had come under the complete control of the rioters. The fire department has also retreated, according to our local reporter Luc Bronner.

Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had announced the mobilization of 2,000 police and gendarmes in Paris and its inner suburbs for Wednesday evening, 800 more than last night.

Incidents were also reported in several towns in the Hauts-de-Seine district. In Clamart, a tramway train was set on fire, according to a police source.

Around twenty communes in Seine-Saint-Denis reported incidents, according to a police source, sometimes in normally quiet towns such as Dugny. According to this source, each time there were groups of less than a hundred highly mobile people on the scene. The Préfecture de Police reported 35 arrests shortly before 2 a.m.

In Essonne, a group of people set fire to a bus at around 9 p.m. after removing the passengers in Viry-Châtillon, according to police sources. Clashes also broke out shortly after 8 p.m. in the Mirail district of Toulouse, where several vehicles were set on fire, with police and firefighters receiving projectiles, according to a police source.

In several areas of Dijon, the authorities reported the burning of rubbish dumpsters and the firing of fireworks. In Lyon and the surrounding area, as well as in Vénissieux, Bron and Villeurbanne, the police were targeted by firework mortars. A fire probably caused by pyrotechnic fireworks broke out in a building in Villeurbanne, leaving four people slightly injured, the fire department said. “Some apartments” were destroyed by the fire and ten households, or 35 people, were rehoused. Four people were also hospitalized with mild poisoning. In Vaulx-en-Velin, the police station was targeted before the police intervened.

Elsewhere, tensions were reported in Roubaix (Nord), Amiens and Nice, according to a police source. Some incidents, as in Saint-Etienne, Lille and Rennes, took place on the edges of rallies in support of Soulèvements de la Terre, the recently disbanded environmental movement.

The security post at the entrance to the Fresnes prison estate (Val-de-Marne) was attacked with fireworks by rioters on Wednesday night, Agence France-Presse (AFP) learnt from a police source.

Videos consulted by AFP show around twenty hooded youths attacking the guard post at the entrance to the estate with firework mortars and various projectiles.

[EN/ES/PT] Porto Alegre, Brazil: Barricade against the Temporary Framework, ten years after June 2013

Posted on 2023/06/16 by darknights

At nightfall on June 13, choosing the date in memory of the historic protests of 2013, we set up a barricade in the center of the city of Porto Alegre, one block away from the Three Powers Plaza (Government Palace, Legislative Assembly and Palace of Justice). But it was not simply an act of memory, we also responded to the call for the struggle of the indigenous people against the Temporary Framework (1). The Colonial usurpation is a reality that affects our daily lives and we need to fight it.

Aware of the war that domination (corporations, agribusiness, political parties and religious brainwashing) has declared on us, which is confirmed every hour through the genocide of peoples, the devastation of the earth and the cult of money, it is insufficient for us to assume the role of situational analysts. Massive information, within everyone’s reach, makes it clear that it is not for lack of data that some choose, as a way of life that some choose, as a way of life, devastation, aggression, genocide, or that they choose to collaborate with those who carry out all this. Thus, the word alone is not enough to combat so many attacks on life.

Few are the victories, that in these lands we can collectively celebrate, the 2013 protests were precisely one of those rare victories that was achieved in the streets, and that was given by the force of violent action, not by the meek parade that the parliamentary leftists desire and propose, nor by the acts of patriotic submission that the right-wingers mentally affected by the hallucination of the red threat perform.

It was chaos, disorder, leaderless vandalism, and the lucid vision of the rejection of impositions, segregations and oppressions, which bent the arm of power. And all the politicians, be they of the left or right, know, with fear, that this is the force that overthrows any tyranny. Some people, collectives and individuals also know this, but we know it with joy and with the search to expand the revolt.

We send, with the heat of this barricade, a complicit gesture to all those who are in struggle against the Temporary Framework, against the legalization of the plundering of lands from indigenous people, making combative blockades as the Mbya Guarani Community of Jaraguá in Sao Paulo.

And may the heat of this barricade also warm the hearts of our anarchist comrades in prison: from Chile to Greece, from Italy to Russia: Alfredo Cóspito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Gabriel Pombo da Silva, Claudio Lavazza, Pola Roupa, Nikos Maziottis, Toby Shone, Boris, Ivan Aloucco, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquin Garcia.

–

Text of the pamphlet that flew on the barricade:

We need to be aware that 1988 is just the date that marks a new cycle of exploitations and is not the Time Frame of the history of any people.

Already 2013, is the date that teaches us that fighting does not mean begging for attention from the institutions.

Because all violent action is justified by centuries of domination, our proposal is simple: Attack what attacks us.

(1) Bill of the Brazilian Parliament that proposes that the recognition of indigenous territories be demarcated by the presence of communities in 1988, the year of the beginning of the Political Constitution of the Brazilian State in force, omitting the processes of invasion, colonization and expulsion that took place since the XVI century against the indigenous people, who had to abandon their territories and dislocate countless times. This bill, which is currently being voted on, also proposes to legalize a series of exploitations on these lands.

En Español:

Porto Alegre: Barricada contra el Marco Temporal, a diez años de Junio de 2013

Al caer de la noche del 13 de junio, escogiendo la fecha en memoria de las protestas históricas de 2013, armamos una barricada en el centro de la ciudad de Porto Alegre, a una cuadra de la Plaza de los Tres Poderes (Palacio de Gobierno, Asamblea Legislativa y Palacio de Justicia). Pero no fue simplemente un acto de memoria, también respondemos al llamado a la lucha de los pueblos nativos contra el Marco Temporal (1). La usurpación colonial es una realidad que afecta nuestro día a día e necesitamos combatirla.

Conscientes de la guerra que la dominación (empresas, agro negocio, partido políticos e lava cerebros religiosos) nos ha declarado, la que se confirma a cada hora mediante el genocidio de los pueblos, la devastación de la tierra y el culto al dinero, nos resulta insuficiente asumir el rol de analistas de coyuntura. La información masiva, al alcance de todos, deja en evidencia que no es por falta de datos que algunos escogen, como forma de vida, la devastación, la agresión, el genocidio, o que escogen colaborar con quien lleva adelante todo eso. Así, la palabra sola no es suficiente para combatir tanto ataque a la
vida.

Pocas son las victorias, que en estas tierras podemos celebrar colectivamente, las protestas de 2013 fueron precisamente una de esas escasas victorias que se consiguió en las calles, y que se dio por la fuerza de la acción violenta, no por el desfile manso que desean y proponen las izquierdas parlamentaristas, ni por los actos de sumisión patriótica que realizan las derechas mentalmente afectadas por la alucinación de la amenaza roja.

Fueron el caos, el desorden, el vandalismo sin líderes, y la visión lúcida del rechazo a las imposiciones, segregaciones y opresiones, las que doblaron el brazo al poder. E todos los políticos, sean estos de izquierda o derecha, saben, con miedo, que esa es la fuerza que derrumba cualquier tiranía. Algunos pueblos, colectivos e individualidades también sabemos eso pero lo sabemos con alegría y con la búsqueda de expandir la revuelta.

Mandamos, con el calor de esta barricada, un gesto cómplice a todos quienes están en lucha contra el Marco Temporal, contra la legalización del saqueo de tierras a los pueblos nativos, haciendo bloqueos combativos como la Comunidad Mbya Guaraní de Jaraguá en Sao Paulo.

Y que el calor de esta barricada caliente también el corazón de nuestros compañeros anarquistas en prisión: De Chile a Grecia, de Italia a Rusia: Alfredo Cóspito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche, Gabriel Pombo da Silva, Claudio Lavazza, Pola Roupa, Nikos Maziottis, Toby Shone, Boris, Ivan Aloucco, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Joaquín García.

Texto del Panfleto que voló en la barricada:

Necesitamos ser consciente de que 1988 es apenas la fecha que marca un nuevo ciclo de explotaciones y no es el Marco Temporal de la historia de ningún pueblo.

Ya el 2013, es la fecha que nos enseña que luchar no significa mendigar la atención de las instituciones.

Porque toda acción violenta está justificada por siglos de dominación, nuestra propuesta es simplemente: Atacar lo que nos ataca.

Porto Alegre: Barricada e panfletos contra o Marco Temporal, a dez anos de junho de 2013.

No cair da noite do 13 de junho, elegendo a data em memória dos históricos protestos de 2013, armamos uma barricada no centro da cidade de Porto Alegre, a uma quadra da Praça dos Três Poderes (Palácio do Governo do Estado, Assembléia Legislativa e o Palácio da Justiça). Mas não foi apenas um ato de memória, também respondemos ao chamado de luta dos povos nativos contra o Marco Temporal. A usurpação colonial é uma realidade que afeta nosso dia-a-dia e precisamos combatê-la.

Cientes da Guerra que a dominação (empresas, agronegócio, partidos políticos e lava cérebros religiosos) tem nos declarado, o que se confirma a cada hora no genocídio dos povos, na devastação da terra e na devoção ao dinheiro, nos resulta insuficiente assumir o papel de analistas da conjuntura. A massiva informação ao alcance de todos evidencia que não é por falta de informação que alguns elegem como forma de vida a devastação, a agressão, o genocídio, ou a colaboração com quem faz isso tudo. Assim, somente a palavra não basta para combater tanto ataque à vida.

Poucas são as vitórias que podemos celebrar coletivamente, 2013 foi uma vitória nas ruas, que se deu pela força da ação violenta e não pelo desfile manso que desejam as esquerdas parlamentares, nem pelos atos de submissão patriótica que fazem as direitas, mentalmente afetadas pela alucinação da ameaça vermelha.

Foi o caos, a baderna, o vandalismo sem lideranças, com a lúcida visão do rechaço às imposições, segregações e opressões, as que dobraram o braço do poder. E todos os políticos, sejam de direita ou esquerda, sabem, com medo, que essa é a força que derruba qualquer tirania. Alguns povos, coletivos e individualidades também sabemos disso, mas com alegria e procura de expansão da revolta.

Mandamos um aceno com o calor desta barricada a todos que estão em luta contra o Marco Temporal, contra a legalização do saque das terras dos povos nativos, realizando bloqueios combativos como o da Comunidade Guarani de Jaraguá em São Paulo.

Incendiary outbreak at Liceo de Aplicación in memory of Mauricio Morales

On Monday, May 22, a rally was held in the vicinity of the Liceo de Aplicación leading to barricades and confrontations with Molotov cocktails against the presence of the Carabineros (COP) in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales who died in combat when he detonated in advance the explosive device he was trying to install in the Gendarmerie School in 2009.

Banners and leaflets were read: “May 22nd, day of chaos”, “Before sleeping I embrace kaos. For a May as black as gunpowder. Mauricio Morales”, ” There are still backpacks like Punky Mauri’s”, “Mauricio Morales present, let anarchy live”, “14 years after your departure, you are still alive in our anarchist hearts and souls.”

Santiago, $hile: Claim for incendiary exit for the Paco day at the Universidad Academia de Humanismo Cristiano & International Call for the Black May

Posted on 2023/05/01 by darknights

Received & transmitted:

SANTIAGO, $HILE: CLAIM OF INCENDIARY EXIT FOR THE PACO DAY1 AT THE UNIVERSIDAD ACADEMIA DE HUMANISMO CRISTIANO AND INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR A BLACK MAY.

On Thursday April 27 as affinities we broke into the normal functioning of the university citizenship of the UAHC to celebrate the day of the paco in the way we like the most: with street violence. We set up a barricade of debris to interrupt the Condell traffic and thus invoke the bastards to fight them with Molotov cocktails. While we waited, we set fire to the electricity pole of a surveillance camera located at Obispo Salas and Condell. In this context, the response of the ratis2 was not long in coming; helmets, shotguns, bullet-proof vests and a shield were timidly placed outside their gate to intimidate and provoke our action. Unfortunately, we did not take the bait and waited for the police onslaught in order to fight back in a more optimal way, not as a sign of cowardice towards the ratis (we always went straight at them, even provoking them with a couple of Molotovs on the ground and stones), but knowing that if we attacked them directly, they would unleash an onslaught of shots and the panic could have caused a worse accident given the crowd of people in the street.

In this context, the wait for the police onslaught took almost two hours, which exacerbated the spirits of several of us. During this wait, a citizen-cop threatened us in a stupid and naive way with the intention of hitting us. A brief scuffle broke out and ended with his precious car out of service thanks to a Molotov that set fire to the driver’s seat of the car. We are not ashamed to attack the material goods of those who try to act as police without wearing a uniform; they more than deserve it.

After two hours of long and tedious waiting, the guanaco3 located at Condell and Providencia begins to advance while from Rancagua and Condell another guanaco also advances, trying to make a “trap” strategy. It is at this moment when we launched a couple of Molotovs, which triggered the advance of the ratis, covering themselves with the guanaco to proceed to execute about 9 shots, which left a person from the university wounded in his skull.

After this offensive, we continued the confrontation with Molotov cocktails inside the vicinity of the university. It is at that moment when the guanaco threw water directly into the face of a student.

Apart from any useless victimhood, we know that in the face of our inflammatory provocation they will do the impossible to see us imprisoned/dead; we are proud enemies of power and we are consistent with that, our lives are always open to the possibility of jail or death. Moreover, we also know that these events occur in this way because the precious government of the progressive bourgeoisie has given unlimited guarantees to its forces of order, all this under the neo-fascist rhetoric of “citizen security”. The trigger-happy law does nothing more than evidence the political crisis of progressivism and the unrestricted union of the entire political class. The progressive sector has not been able to repress subversion under the counterinsurgency mechanisms of social democracy (recuperation, democratization, grassroots politicking, etc.) and has given ground to the rhetoric of punitive populism, which leaves them only one option to safeguard their reputation: self-perpetuate at gunpoint.

It should be noted that, in addition, during this day simultaneous confrontations occurred at the Liceo Barros Borgoño (with a compa run over by the cops), Liceo 1 (with several detainees), INBA, Liceo de Aplicación, the former Pedagógico (where the cops attacked entering the university), among other establishments that were also occupied after the riots.

In relation to all that happened during that day, it is worth reflecting on the means of attack that we use in the face of the armed threat of the police in the context of trigger-happy behavior. We know that the police have always shot at us at random, however, this cannot remain just an inconsequential chant that says “all the bullets will be returned” while standing idly by. It is our certainty that those bullets do not return on their own and that when they least expect it we return them with ferocity and that in those moments they exhibit all their cowardice when they see us armed… Yes, this is also a threat.

It is time to study new means, new objectives, to qualify the attack, to strike harder and harder and to be unpredictable and invisible to the eyes of power. In a self-critical way we think that if we have to make incendiary exits we cannot only arm ourselves with Molotov bombs, paint or stones. It is necessary that our offensive puts their miserable lives at risk and that they feel the taste of blood in their mouths. Enough of raising banners waiting for them to stop shooting and killing us and let’s take arms into our hands not only in the peripheries of the city, but also in the heart of the metropolis; without leadership, without platforms, without vanguards, without leaders, informally and among like-minded individuals to unleash the anarchic war against all the existent.

For these reasons and more, we call for the multiplication of anarchic urban guerrilla actions throughout the world, making an Internationalist Call for a BLACK MAY in memory of comrade Mauricio Morales and in solidarity with Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar as their oral trial is about to begin on May 19. We leave you these words to be spread around all the black threads of the world, dedicated to those who have ears to hear them, minds to reflect and hearts to take action and explode in rebellion.
