V ENCUENTRO ANARQUISTA CONTRA EL SISTEMA

TECNOINDUSTRIAL Y SU MUNDO

Durante los días 27, 28 y 29 de Mayo tendrá lugar el «V Encuentro Anarquista contra el Sistema Tecnoindustrial y su mundo». Un lugar donde encontrarnos, conocernos, debatir, difundir y afilar nuestras ideas contra la organización técnica del mundo. Pretendemos que el encuentro sea una herramienta más para combatir el sistema tecno-científico-industrial, porque pensamos que el terreno del enfrentamiento se debe concentrar en el campo del progreso tecnológico, puesto que es y será lo que trace las presentes y futuras dinámicas de la dominación sobre todos y cada uno de los aspectos de nuestra vida: sociales, políticos, económicos y ambientales. Durante la duración de las jornadas habrá un espacio para distribuidoras (aquellas que quieran montar la distribuidora en el espacio les pedimos que confirmen su presencia con antelación) y comedores 100% vegetariano.. En los próximos días difundiremos el programa completo del Encuentro, que este año se realizará en el PVA Sputnik (C/Gonzalez soto, 21, Vallecas, Madrid)

Históricamente, los sistemas de dominación han aprovechado los momentos de crisis o catástrofes para transformar el mundo, para realizar una metamorfosis del mismo. En otros tiempos esta metamorfosis fue llevada a cabo cuando el capitalismo se vio amenazado por el avance de la lucha de clases o por la necesidad de cambios económicos y productivos con los que maximizar beneficios. En nuestro tiempo vemos como la tecnocracia aprovecha las emergencias ya sean energéticas, sanitarias, económicas, climáticas… para acelerar el tecno totalitarismo que supone el mundo-máquina. Se está llevando a cabo una nueva “gran transformación”, impulsada por las élites tecno-financieras, un Gran Reinicio. Reiniciar la vida en todas sus dimensiones para imponer una nueva forma de vida y un nuevo mundo bajo los imperativo de la 4º Revolución Industrial, es decir, reiniciar la vida para someterla al mundo-máquina que persigue optimizar al ser humano y todo lo vivo para convertirlo en un engranaje más de dicho mundo. Una vez artificializada y controlada la naturaleza el objetivo ahora es el ser humano. Continue reading “Spain: V Encuentro Contra el Sistema Tecno Industrial y su Mundo. 27,28 y 29 de mayo.

The Great Reset Phase 2: War

Posted on 2022/04/14 - 2022/04/14 by darknights

Welcome to the second phase of the Great Reset: war.

While the pandemic acclimatised the world to lockdowns, normalised the acceptance of experimental medications, precipitated the greatest transfer of wealth to corporations by decimating SMEs and adjusted the muscle memory of workforce operations in preparation for a cybernetic future, an additional vector was required to accelerate the economic collapse before nations can ‘Build Back Better.’

I present below several ways in which the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine is the next catalyst for the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda, facilitated by an interconnected web of global stakeholders and a diffuse network of public-private partnerships.

1. The war between Russia and Ukraine is already causing unprecedented disruption to global supply chains, exacerbating fuel shortages and inducing chronic levels of inflation.

As geopolitical tensions morph into a protracted conflict between NATO and the Sino-Russia axis, a second contraction may plunge the economy into stagflation.

In the years ahead, the combination of subpar growth and runaway inflation will force a global economic underclass into micro-work contracts and low-wage jobs in an emerging gig economy.

Another recession will compound global resource thirst, narrow the scope for self-sufficiency and significantly increase dependence on government subsidies.

With the immiseration of a significant portion of the world’s labour force looming on the horizon, this may well be a prelude to the introduction of a Universal Basic Income, leading to a highly stratified neo-feudal order.

Therefore, the World Economic Forum’s ominous prediction that we will ‘own nothing and be happy’ by 2030 seems to be unfolding with horrifying rapidity. Continue reading “The Great Reset Phase 2: War” →

Italy: Democracy is the other face of fascism

Posted on 2022/02/03 - 2022/02/03 by darknights

DEMOCRACY IS THE OTHER FACE OF FASCISM

Since two years we live in a state of emergency without end, following the advance of a virus that has become a global pandemic. Sooner or later it had to happen in a globalized and capitalist world that for mere profit destroys the natural environment, where goods and people move in a short time from one end of the planet to another (and only the poor are rejected at the borders) and where more than half of the world’s population lives crowded in mega-urbanized cities.

The emergency proclaimed, however, has been used by the state not to put hand to the health sector, decimated by continuous cuts that governments have made over the years and that have caused so many preventable deaths (not only because of the virus), but in order to accelerate all those authoritarian and coercive mechanisms of which the democratic regime is capable.

We are not only talking about the compulsory vaccination for certain categories (health workers, teachers, over 50) about which there would be much to discuss, but especially about the social control put in place, not least the instrument of the Green Passport, which is still only a step towards the race to forced digitization of all the data that concern us. Controlling and trading digital data, as we know, is the new frontier of “surveillance capitalism,” which through emergency management is gaining momentum.

From tracking apps to facial recognition cameras, from the internet of things to artificial intelligence, technology at the service of masters and states, which was not born to simplify our existence but to monitor us, will be increasingly present in our lives, but it is only with the digitization of data and their transmission (5G, ultra-wideband) and interconnection (home automation, smart-city) that this will be possible. It is no coincidence that the PNRR of the Draghi government, the Italian Recovery Fund financed with European money, for a large part serves to channel astronomical sums towards surveillance technologies and the digital modernization of all essential sectors: school, work, telecommunications networks, mobility and health (with telemedicine). It is also not by chance that the Draghi government has made it easier for public administration bodies and institutions to collect and process personal data, through an article of the Capienze Decree that last October abrogated article 2 of the Privacy Code, also reducing the role of the Guarantor in charge of data protection.

For many people perhaps it is not a problem that their data are used by private companies, multinationals and state institutions, through massive surveillance. People still think that because they do nothing wrong, their data is not a secret. But social control is never something that concerns only the sphere of personal freedoms and privacy; there are several reasons to oppose the digitalization of data and invasive tools such as the Green pass, among the most immediate: from the ease of the employer in monitoring his own employee (and riders and Amazon employees know something about it!) to those living in a situation of forced illegality (see undocumented migrants) who see their lives continuously threatened by the increase of increasingly sophisticated monitoring devices. Let’s not forget then the discrimination of those who already today do not have access to new technologies, that is often the poorest people in society, who see their access to rights and social services undermined, conquered years ago at the cost of hard struggles.

Renneville (Haute-Garonne), France: Burning of a relay antenna

Posted on 2022/02/02 by darknights

On the evening of Friday 28 January on the heights of Renneville, a relay antenna immolated itself as a sign of solidarity with all those arrested, charged with the fight against forced digitization. The last arrest on Wednesday 26 January* in the investigation concerning the fire of the antenna of Les Cars in Limoges, left him no other choice to express his anger.
Without regrets

* Attaque note: for this last arrest, see for example here. For the other arrests for this case, last June, here. The claim of the magnificent fire of the antennas of the Cars site is here.

France: Sabotage of antennas in Les Cars, Limoges

On Monday, January 11, a sabotage took place on the relay of Les Cars. The fire destroyed the tower of the antenna disrupting the broadcasting of radio, TV and the telephone network on a large territory. The press release :

Monday 11 January 2021
Operation “voice of the wind and songs of birds

The Committee to Abolish 5G and its World (CLA5GSM) has been around for a very long time

perhaps for as long as we can remember

the movements we have founded over the centuries have had different names and different leaders, but all of them were in one way or another part of our war against 5G. Continue reading “Renneville (Haute-Garonne), France: Burning of a relay antenna” →

Toulouse, France: New antenna in the dumpster

Posted on 2022/01/19 - 2022/01/19 by darknights

On the night of January 11 to 12, a 5G relay antenna was sabotaged in Toulouse in the Septs-Deniers district.
That week, three strikes followed one another: hospital and medical-social, garbage collectors, education. No sector will be spared by austerity. We wanted to participate in the convergence of struggles, by touching where control and the new economy converge: the digital.

Italy: The truth can be upsetting but it is still the truth

THE TRUTH CAN BE UPSETTING BUT IT IS STILL THE TRUTH

In the night between 1^st and 2^nd September we were stopped in Via Cavour and accused of having put up posters without permission. A simple administrative sanction was not enough for the police, they wanted to pile it on by charging us with “publication or spreading of fake, exaggerated or tendentious news aimed at upsetting public order” (Art. 656 of the penal code). To be accused of spreading fake news precisely by those who defend a system which always lies, manipulating and terrorizing the population with the aim of legitimatizing the most abject political and repressive practices is paradoxical to say the least.

But what did those posters say that was fake?

Is it not true perhaps that society is aiming for the complete digitalization of every aspect of our lives, even the most intimate? Continue reading “Italy: The truth can be upsetting but it is still the truth” →

Rome, Italy: Sirti car burnt

Posted on 2021/10/12 by darknights

On August 28 2021 in Rome during the international week of solidarity with anarchist prisoners we set fire to a car belonging to the Sirti company. Sirti collaborates with the digitalisation and technological implementation fundamental to this phase in the development of dominion, we require no other reason to attack it.

Solidarity with all the anarchist prisoners in the world! Closeness and strength to Boris, in coma in France following a fire in his cell!

To all those who continue to light up our nights with their actions!

FOR INCENDIARY AND DESTRUCTIVE DIRECT ACTION

LONG LIVE ANARCHY

Genoa, Italy: Burning of Erzelli Polo Tecnologico 5G Repeater, Server-Data Cabinets & Terna High Voltage pylon

Posted on 2021/06/25 - 2021/06/25 by darknights

This is an era where the triumph of science, technology and technique prevails unceasingly. All this does not mean that we are in a science fiction or visionary world, but that, in the crude reality, science after having faithfully only served politics (the State) and economics (capital), has now become the driving force of the new productive and economic order.

Until the middle of the 20th century it provided the propaganda means (TV, radio, press), the repressive ones (weapons) to the State and the means of industrial production that reduced the workforce. From the middle of the last century onwards, the power of science has grown more and more to invade every aspect of our lives and through bio-nano technologies, of life itself.

The monopoly of truth seems to have made science all-powerful, as with the state its historic monopoly of violence.

Science, Church and State in the past have clashed in contending for power or for the division of powers. Now it is science and technology that determine and influence state policy and economic, social and repressive strategies: they are therefore not neutral.

Capitalism finances armies of technicians dedicated to research and creation of new products and “resources” manageable only by specialists, as well as products that once made available to the masses shape the world around us becoming “indispensable” and sometimes indestructible as nuclear power.

This process is as rapid as the growth of technology and has restricted individual freedom.

Algorithms decide the rhythms of production, large data collection servers, geolocation, applications reduce us to subjects/objects of consumption. If the restriction of freedom implemented in the past by the state and capital provoked fierce resistance from the exploited, this does not happen with science. In the collective imagination it remains neutral and, moreover, in the West, its products have increased the comfort and well-being of most people. In the face of this well-being, the lack of freedom, the exploitation of resources, the enslavement of entire populations, the unlivability of entire areas of the planet, the migrations due to war and climate change, are of no interest.
