Argentina: Clashes in Buenos Aires due to Right Wing Austerity Program

Posted on 2024/06/15 by darknights

Violent clashes between law enforcement and protesters in Buenos Aires on Wednesday marred the debate in the Senate of a package of reforms called for by far-right President Javier Milei.

The violence began when protesters tried to break through the security cordon set up around the Chamber of Deputies, where the so-called “omnibus” law must return if the senators approve it. Seven people, including five opposition MPs, were treated in hospital.

Cars were set on fire and the police responded to projectiles by firing rubber bullets and water cannons. At least 10 people were arrested and nine police officers were injured. By nightfall, the forces of law and order were finally taking control of the streets.

The Argentine Presidency denounced “the terrorist groups that, with the help of sticks, stones and even grenades, have tried to perpetrate a coup d’état”.

Senators debated since Wednesday morning the new version of the Milei government‘s flagship law, rejected in its original form of 600 articles, and adopted with major changes to 238 articles by the Chamber of Deputies in April.

The reform was adopted Wednesday evening by the Senate, which approved its revised draft. Among the concessions of an executive that has become more pragmatic over the months: the number of privatizations has gone from about 40 in the initial version to less than 10, including the one still on the table of the airline Aerolineas Argentinas.

The proposal to make the labour market more flexible was also debated by senators. And a tax reform, originally part of the omnibus law, was decoupled to be discussed separately in the same session.

Berkeley, California, U$A: Student Intifada as our Historical Duty: Fulfill it or Betray it

Posted on 2024/06/06 by darknights

Around 4am on June 1 2024, an incendiary device was placed below a UC Berkeley police vehicle parked in front of UCPD station. The device was lit underneath the back left wheel of a police SUV, placed between the tire and underside of fuel tank. There were too many people around at the time to see the final result. Unsure if it caught the tire and fuel tank. But the device has enough fuel in it to torch the entire car if it was successfully placed.

This act was done in retaliation against UCPD, for their attack on students yesterday on a different campus and to retaliate against the University of California for its support for the zionist israel settler colony. More specifically – this attempt to torch a police car in front of the university was in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings assaulted by the zionist state in Rafah. It came from a place of love for Palestine, and love for revolution and liberation of all oppressed people.

This act was:
In solidarity with the students attacked by the fascist police state at uc santa cruz. In solidarity with the students attacked by zionist street collaborators at uc los angeles. In solidarity with the uc berkeley students seizing the time and taking back Hines Hall.

In solidarity with the resistance axis for Palestinian life, liberation, and total decolonization of the zionist occupied lands. For an end to the genocide of our beloved Palestine, and an end to the anti-Black and colonial genocide destroying our loved ones here.

A life worth living is a life in solidarity with our Palestinian siblings, who face down the settler’s scope with every movement, or every day. A life worth living is a life in solidarity with the Ohlone people. We continue to return the land with this offering. A life worth living is in solidarity with our Black and Brown siblings continuously surviving and thriving in the face of genocidal state violence here in the Bay Area.

Blessed is the flame that burns down the settler-plantation.
Blessed are the rockets that will free thousands of prisoners held captive by the zionist settler entity and US colonizer police state.
May the spirit of Revolutionary Anti-colonialism unearth the truth from beneath these occupied lands.

Our heart will forever be tied to the fate of Rafah

Knife to the throat of zionism

Death to amerikkka

Glory to the martyrs

New York, U$A: Eat it, Eric Adams

Posted on 2024/05/27 by darknights

Seems like they don’t want this to get out, but… four nights ago we set an NYPD bus on fire in Brooklyn as a peaceful protest against the cops for attacking anti-genocide demonstrators and their repression of protestors of Cop City (a dystopian plague of a project attempting to emerge everywhere, including New Jersey).

The NYPD are violent suffocators of the people’s voice and will. They are terrorizers of the homeless in our streets, and are in concert with the genocidal IDF, who train them to better butcher our freedom.

They do it all with no consequences in their future and no fear in their faces–we can change that with fire. There are cop cars and genocide-funding businesses all over. From Cop Country to Gaza, GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA!

VIVA TORT!

Rome, Italy: Claim of the incendiary attack against a private vehicle belonging to a carabiniere

Posted on 2024/04/30 by darknights

Claim of the incendiary attack against a private vehicle belonging to a carabiniere (Rome, March 29, 2024)

“Soon Anarchists we rush to the fight for victory or death with petrol and dynamite every class and the government to eradicate..”Anarchist Song

As the Mediterranean is increasingly a mass grave crammed with the corpses of the oppressed from the global south , Gaza is being razed to the ground worldwide and winds of war blow baleful to every corner of the globe leading the world’s proletarians to slaughter at the hands of master interests, we have decided to act, to attack. Identifying in the military of any side an enemy to be put down for anyone with a tension of freedom, without leaving aside the specific responsibilities of the homegrown weapon, we have decided to direct our hatred and vengeance against the military personnel of the Carabinieri Corps.

In a present in which every revolutionary hypothesis seems like a vain chimera, we have decided to keep fighting: they may deprive us of the hope for a radically different world but not of the thirst for revenge that we feel against those who perpetuate the oppression of one class over another and its defenders (such as the law enforcement) and those who enrich themselves by plundering the planet in a
dastardly manner.

The attack against power in any place and time, even at a time such as today, in which repression is striking increasingly harsher every glimmer of conflict and is burying alive our comrades held hostage in the prisons seems to us the best way to give continuity to the centuries-old clash between oppressed and oppressors, which as Anarchists we feel we are part of.

Hoping that these glimmers of individual revolt can risk this gray and pacified present, we reiterate that as anarchists we put the liberating violence of the oppressed before the systematic violence of those who hold the monopoly of the latter and we affirm the legitimacy of revolutionary violence as an instrument of the struggle against the state and capital.

It is in the firm conviction of the rightness of our ideals made of freedom and equality that lies the courage to fight, in the first person, choosing to take the upper hand and trying to return, albeit in a small way, the blows inflicted by the enemy.

For these and 1000 other reasons we chose to attack by making use of incendiary instruments 1 private car belonging to a cop: The choice to attack in the “private” stems from the desire to make those who choose to defend the social order pay the price for their choices in an increasingly targeted manner, those who choose to defend the established democratic social order, wearing a uniform.

COPS, BOSSES AND BOURGEOIS :

YOU WILL PAY DEARLY AND YOU WILL PAY FOR EVERYTHING.

We take this opportunity to reiterate our solidarity with the Anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino, Juan Sorroche- Fernadez, Pierlorenzo Fallanca, Luca Dolce, and to all of the Anarchists placed under seizure in state prisons everywhere. You are not alone Comrades.

Incendiary greetings to the fugitives, may life smile on you, see you again on the barricades.

Cell Abele Ricieri Ferrari (DN: Renzo Novatore’s real name.)

(Black International 1881-2024)

Note from La Nemesi:

Errors are present in the opening quote. The song mentioned is “Mano alla bomba.” a translation of the Spanish-language song “Arroja la bomba,” and the portion of the correct lyrics is the following: Soon anarchists we rush / A fighter for victory or death / With oil and dynamite / Every class and the government to undo and eradicate.

According to what is known, the Italian was published in “Guerra di Classe,” a newspaper of the CNT-FAI (Sección Italiana), Barcelona, year II, no. 14, May 1, 1937, p. 6, with the title “Mano alla bomba!” and the indication Adaptation of VIR. Motif of the anarchist anthem “Arroja la bomba.” (VIR is the pseudonym of Virgilio Gazzoli, an anarchist from Pistoia). “Arroja la bomba” was composed during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) and was sung in prisons by imprisoned anarchists.

Berlin, Germany: Arson attack on police vehicle

Posted on 2024/01/22 - 2024/01/22 by darknights

In the night from January 17 to 18, we decided to set fire to a police sixer on the occasion of the Rondenbarg trial in Hamburg.

We are going on the offensive and not waiting for a repressive verdict, because we believe that the trial taking place today and the 24 trials scheduled to follow are reason enough to take our anger to the streets.

This trial is not only an attack on the freedom of assembly, but a further attack on anti-capitalist and anti-fascist resistance. Apparently it was not enough for the authorities to violently suppress the protest at the time, and another 80 activists were subsequently charged.

Unfortunately, we were not able to capture the burning car for you, but maybe you will be lucky enough to see the burned vehicle between the Arcaden and the S-Bahn station Berlin-Spandau.

We call for a militant demonstration on January 20th in Hamburg!

PS: our text is a bit short, but you have many possibilities to inform yourself about the process:

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for a raid on a MAT (riot cop) bus

Posted on 2024/01/12 by darknights

The constant distortion of reality by the authorities and their sycophants everywhere.

On 22/10/2021 the 18 year old Roma Nikos Sampanis was shot with 36 bullets by the uniformed scum of the DIAS unit (motorcycle cops) in the area of Perama. This was preceded by the torture of Vassilis Maggos, which led to his death, followed by the rape at the Omonia Police Station, while on 22/09/2022 16-year-old Michalis was dragged and abandoned by an police vehicle in Ampelokipi in Thessaloniki, resulting in him breathing his last breath in hospital.

A little over a year after the murder of Sampanis, the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis was murdered in Diavata, Thessaloniki on 05/06/2022 with a bullet in the head by a cop of the DIAS unit as he committed the crime of not paying for twenty euros worth of petrol.

On 11/11/2023 shortly before midnight after a chase, the cops once again murdered a Roma minor, 17-year-old Christos Michalopoulos. Two and a half months before, Kostas Manioudakis has left his last breath due to a beating by cops of the Souda police station during a random check. One month after the murder of Michalopoulos, a cop beats and abandons 19-year-old Ayse in the city of Xanthi, killing her.

To these incidents we could add countless beatings, torture, murders, all carried out by the police and silenced by the judiciary and the media.

In the few cases when police violence cannot be hidden, the mouthpieces of the state apparatus are quick to present the obvious as an isolated incident, that it was a bad moment or that the cops were in self-defense or that justice will be decided at a later stage.

It is worth mentioning that they try to throw tons of mud at the murdered person. Whether it is the criminal record, the social group to which they belong, or their political beliefs are emphasised over and over again, implying, where they do not say it outright, that it is a good thing the cop’s hand pulled the trigger. The presentation of the cop-killer is diametrically opposed. A family man with children, hard working for the safety of the citizens, with a social contribution, particularly beloved by the rest of the gang (“Hellenic Police”).

The media narrative changes the times when social revolt erupts and targets the perpetrators of so many murders. Suddenly the value of human life has become the ultimate good and the justly targeted uniformed killers become heroes wounded in the line of duty and unfairly targeted. Those who experience state and capitalist violence in their own skin and at times respond combatively to it are portrayed as brutal criminals with murderous intent.

To the apologists of the police: you and those who settle for the fairy tale you are selling are ridiculous low lives without a shred of dignity and morality.

To put it clearly and succinctly there is no room for doubt, the Greek police operate as a gang of armed potential murderers with complete impunity.

In this context we chose to carry out a raid with Molotov cocktails on 07/12/23 on the MAT (riot cops) bus on Agiou Dimitriou Street at the height of the Agricultural School in Thessaloniki. Continue reading “Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for a raid on a MAT (riot cop) bus” →

Hamburg, Germany: For Nahel and all the others. Private car of cop set on fire

Posted on 2023/08/12 - 2023/08/12 by darknights

A reformist view of the police as an organ of power is not only naive but also dangerous. Continuous killings by the pigs in uniform are proof that neither internal anti-racist programs nor public debate are able to keep the trigger-happy monsters in check and prevent the next murder. When we hear about the execution of a 19 year old who was riddled with 34 bullets by several cops and miraculously survived paraplegic, our hatred once again rises to immeasurable levels and we have to do something.

Let them be afraid on their patrols through the neighborhoods of the marginalized. They should be afraid at their desks when they arrogantly look at the human filth outside their windows. They are supposed to be afraid when they lie in their little beds at night dreaming of action against evil.

Being a cop is a conscious choice. They hear about the murders and the methods of oppression. They know about it and still apply to the police.

They should be sure of our contempt.

In joyful hatred and with the energy that the revolt in France gives us, we set fire to the private car of a cop pig in Eimsbüttel in the night of 12.7.

We join in the action against power with the anti-authoritarians and angry revolters in France. The pigs killed Nahel M. in Nanterre. The cop who took Nahel’s life and caused his family endless grief did it because he felt he had the right to do so. His uniform and his training give him permission. This pig identifies so much with his disgusting profession that he decides for himself whose life has value and whose does not.

Every cop is a potential danger.

Non-white people in a white society are much more often affected by deadly police violence than white people. But socially excluded, drug addicted, mentally ill, or people who are not from the right or middle class spectrum feel police violence more often.

We find ourselves in eternal hatred together with other hood-wearing people on the streets and squares of revolts.

So that the fear changes sides.

Rimini, Italy: Claim of incendiary attack against two Railway Police cars

Posted on 2023/04/28 - 2023/04/28 by darknights

Claim of incendiary attack against two Railway Police cars (Rimini, April 20, 2023)

RIMINI, INCENDIARY ATTACK AGAINST TWO RAILWAY POLICE CARS

Around 5:00 a.m. on 04/20/23, small incendiary devices were placed so as to set two railroad police cars parked in the Rimini station on fire.

This attack is intended to reiterate that direct action without mediation against the state and capital is possible and necessary.

The choice was made to attack with fire the railway police, a miserable appendage of the state police, assigned to the infamous task of safeguarding security in the railroad sphere. Their role as guardians of the so-called state borders was all the more reason to pay them a visit right on their doorstep. In fact, the constant monitoring that the polfer acts on “alleged” undocumented persons is a serious obstacle for those who want to move freely.

Warm complicit greetings to those who set fire to a police van in La Paz, Bolivia, as well stated in the claim of the attack “may all the efforts of the anarchist struggle live!”

This action is in solidarity with Monica and Francisco, who will soon face trial for several explosive attacks in Santiago, Chile. To comrade Alfredo Cospito, who recently interrupted a 6-month hunger strike against 41 bis and hostile imprisonment. Come on comrade the struggle continues.

To Anna, Juan, Aldo, Lucas, Ivan, Zac and to all anarchist and revolutionary prisoners locked up in prisons around the world.

A thought in solidarity to Nadia Desdemona Lioce, Roberto Morandi and Marco Mezzasalma, for 17 years subjected to the 41 bis regime.

For the total liberation of the existent.

Death to the state,

for The Anarchy
