$hile: “Words from the confinement, necessary letters” by Marcelo Villarroel

Posted on 2024/01/06 by darknights

On December 16, 2009 I was expelled from Argentina after 21 months of confinement in different units of the province of Neuquén to be at the disposal of the Chilean state and it has been 14 years since then.

In 2014 I was sentenced to 14 years for two bank robberies. Strictly speaking, I am serving this sentence in its entirety, from beginning to end, without any benefit and it ends today December 16, 2023 and still the state keeps me behind bars.

According to the gendarmes, I must serve 12 more years of imprisonment to be able to apply for some intrapenitentiary benefit only in 2036. According to their retroactive modifications of the illegal Chilean law, in 2056 I will definitively expire my sentences, all of them from events that occurred more than 30 years ago.

A madness of numbers and years typical of Pinochet’s military justice shamefully in force and still today endorsed by recent rulings of the Court of Appeals of Rancagua, of Santiago, of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of this amnesiac country governed today by the Communist Party, the Broad Front and all the progressive and social-democratic scum always at the service of the interests of the great god of capital.

In this context, a few days ago, Mónica and Francisco, anarchist comrades of action who received the full revenge of the state, were condemned by the capital’s democratic inquisition, particularly Francisco to whom the domination imposed 86 years, becoming today the revolutionary prisoner in the Chilean prisons with the highest sentence and whom we must know how to accompany from the daily practice without pauses since the road will evidently be longer. Always from the complicit affinity and never from the victimization!

On the other hand, in the occupied wallmapu, in the same week, the racist Chilean justice declares Peñi Luis Tranamil Nahuel, who these days is about to receive a hefty sentence, as well as Peñi Nelson Queupil, who faces an imminent sentence, both walking the path of the weichan, are in Chilean prisons, fists raised, living the onslaught of the state offensive of occupation.

Chile: Words in memory of Alfredo M. Bonanno by Biblioteca Antiautoritaria Sacco y Vanzetti

Words in memory of Alfredo M. Bonanno by Biblioteca Antiautoritaria Sacco y Vanzetti

One death always makes us think of many more and it is the beautiful thing in the midst of sadness, our dead come out to dialogue, with us and with each other.
Bonnano did not share the relationship that many comrades on this earth have with those who have died.
Ironically today, his physical departure, makes us remember so many moments around his analysis, also the discussion with him in 2013, after his expulsion, the harshness of his phrases, but the beauty of the meeting, even in virtuality.
Alfredo did not connect with many of our ideas, but he fed many of ours.
Comradeship is also that, to grow in the clash of ideas, to feed tensions, to look for ways, to assume disagreements. It is not calm or permanent affirmation.
The ideas and analysis that he sowed in each one of us, perhaps he never reached the dimension, but they are alive, in practices, in actions, in resistances and offensives.
His seeds are also contained in books, get to know him, there are several of his texts in the library, discuss with his ideas, feed your own.
Reading is the engine of imagination, use it to fight against domination.
We embrace you Alfredo… trying to keep Anarchy alive.

Santiago, Chile: Attempted explosive attack on the Scotiabank corporate building by ‘Grupo de Acción 6 de Julio – Nueva Subversión’

Posted on 2023/12/17 by darknights

(Received on 15/12/2023 to the mail informativoanarquista@riseup.net)

Attempted explosive attack on the Scotiabank corporate building

To succeed in an attack is the most expected situation because we like that things turn out according to plan and that our claims are preceded by the sound of an explosion. But getting it right always brings close to the situation of failing, sometimes being too explicit or in others going almost unnoticed; “that the right time has not been chosen”, “that the appearance has not been changed in a place without cameras”, “that the correct route has not been taken”, “that the clockwork has not been confirmed”, etc., are statements motivated by perceiving some error, each one being elementary with its own level of influence for the operation in its entirety and that are not reduced to whether the device worked or not. The target may have exploded, what a satisfaction; but all the hits and misses behind it, how are they counted, how do they look, what do they explain about the action?

When one errs, the worst thing that can happen, besides imprisonment and death, is to be clouded by success, which at the end of the day translates into the frustration of “not knowing how to do things”. It has been said in every possible way by many comrades that there is no secret formula for insurrectional action. Overthinking techniques and conditions in order to find their perfection, ends up overwhelming the attempt of action. Some intellectual efforts become useless because they are devoid of direct experience, of the tension lived in the moment. The ideal field of study for the operative theory is the field of action, woven in the past and present by the subversive guerrilla experiences. Assuming, studying and positively discussing the reality of our mistakes will help us to catalyze a better management of the variables for the next adventure.

We share the views of the Anarchic Brigades Luis Ramirez Olaechea that “to fail an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned”. Also from the Conspiracy for the Savage Iconoclast – Cell Kevin Garrido that “to reduce the anti-systemic actions to the result (successful or not) of these, is typical of an exitist paradigm that would only lead us, inevitably, to a militaristic understanding of the anti-systemic praxis”.

Chile: Sentences for Anarchist Comrades Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar

Posted on 2023/12/10 by darknights
Sentences for Comrades Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar
December 8, 2023
Today, December 7, 2023, the 6th Oral Criminal Court of Santiago decided to impose long sentences on the freedom of the comrades, attempting to strike and bury in concrete anarchist ideas and practices with this nauseating sentence. In detail the sentences are as follows:
For Monica Cabellero 12 years in prison, convicted of being an accomplice in the double explosive attack against the Tánica building (https://es-contrainfo.espiv.net/2019/07/29/santiago-chile-adjudicacion-de-atentados-con-paquetes-bomba-contra-rodrigo-hinzpeter-y-el-mayor-de-carabineros-manuel-guzman/) in February 2020.
Meanwhile for Francisco Solar, a total of 86 years in prison. Two counts of sending explosive artifacts (54th Precinct and Hinzpeter) (https://web.archive.org/web/20191014185550/https://actforfree.nostate.net/?p=34434): 12 years + 12 years. One count of attempted homicide of a carabinero: 15 years. One count of serious injury to a carabinero: 6 years. One count of less serious injury: 600 days. Five counts of minor injuries: 100 days (each). 500 days. One count of aggrivated damages (Commussioner): 818 days. One count of attempted homicide of Hinzpeter: 12 years. Two counts of placing an explosive device (Tánica): 12 years + 12 years. (https://es-contrainfo.espiv.net/2020/02/28/comuna-vitacura-chile-colocacion-de-dos-artefactos-explosivos/)
During the next days, the defense will make known if they plan to appeal the convictions, otherwise, there will be no modification on the sentences imposed by the judges.
The disproportionate determinations of the democratic inquisition are an example of the permanent bother that anarchic actions generate for power and its defenders, it is nothing more than the statist need to warn those who seek to travel along confrontational paths, however, we know that no condemnation will stop the expansion of anarchic ideas against the world of authority.
Complicit and combative solidarity will annihilate the walls that hold our relatives hostage!
Death to the State and 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:

Santiago, $hile: Banner and incendiary attack on Red bus 5 years after Kevin Garrido’s death

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

On Sunday, November 12, a day was held in Villa Francia in memory of Kevin Garrido. The day began early with musical presentations, projections, workshops and collections for Joaquin Garcia. In the late afternoon there was a parade through the territory and ended at Av 5 de Abril, where in the vicinity there were confrontations with Molotov cocktails against Carabineros (COP) and a Red bus was burned to the ground.

According to the account of a lieutenant, “(…) later the bus driver was located, who stated that approximately 20 to 30 subjects, dressed in black, hooded, three of them armed with pistols, had intimidated the driver and the passengers, making them get off the bus”.

A banner read: “For the fallen, prisoners and fugitives… Because there is a whole world to be destroyed. Kevin Garrido present!”

(EN) End of trial and final declarations of Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero (Santiago, Chile, 6-7 November 2023)

The final hearings of the first instance trial against anarchist comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, arrested on July 24th 2020 and accused (only Francisco) of sending parcel-bombs to the 54th police station and to Rodrigo Hinzpeter, ex minister of the interior and national defence as well as a director of the Quiñenco (25th July 2019), and both of the double explosive attack in the real estate building Tánica (27th February 2020), in the bourgeois district of  Vitacura (in the metropolitan area of Santiago) which took place in the context of the generalised revolt that broke out in Chile in October 2019. The actions against the 54th police station and Hinzpeter were claimed by Cómplices Sediciosos – Fracción por la Venganza, while that of the Tánica by the Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta.

In December 2021 Francisco claimed responsibility for both of the actions, giving the reasons, choice of objectives and revolutionary significance.

On 10th August 2022, after a series of extensions to the investigation period, the preliminary hearings have been concluded and requests for conviction been announced: 30 years’ prison for Mónica and 129 years for Francisco (according to the current judicial system in the Chilean State the public prosecutor’s office makes the requests before the start of the actual trial phase, the juicio oral). On 18th July of this year, after a postponement the trial finally began, which the comrades only attended in person during the first procedure of according to the current judicial system and the last hearing, attending the rest by video-conference.  During the July 18th hearing, the prosecutor, reformulating the initial requests, stated that the prosecutor’s office intends to inflict a sentence of 20 to 25 years on Mónica and one of over 150 on Francisco. During the hearing of 19th July Francisco reaffirmed assumption of responsibility for all the actions.
