Milan, Italy: Incendiary attack against some vehicles of the A2A and Unareti companies

Posted on 2025/03/14 by darknights

Incendiary attack against some vehicles of the A2A and Unareti companies (Milan, Feb. 27, 2025)

On the night of Wednesday, February 26 to Thursday, February 27, a number of A2A and Unareti vehicles were set on fire in Milan.
The A2A group, which also includes Unareti (a company that, specifically, is responsible for ensuring high, medium and low voltage gas and electricity supply to Italian consumers) is a company whose shares are more than 50 percent owned by the Italian state and is involved in the production, sale and distribution of electricity.
In October 2022, A2A signed a memorandum with SIBF (Southern Israel Bridging Found, an Israeli investment fund focused on increasing hi-tech companies and start-ups in Israel and abroad) with the aim of building a joint hub dedicated to innovation based in Tel Aviv.
The memorandum also aims to strengthen the already existing relationship between A2A, the Israeli Innovation Authority and the Israeli Economic Mission in Italy.
The agreement aims to foster research to evaluate mutual investment opportunities in start-ups, both Italian and Israeli, with a strong focus on the topic of ecological transition.
The “ecological transition” at the heart of this agreement is touted as the transition to a more equitable, sustainable and healthy system. Behind this rhetoric lies the need for the capitalist system to restructure itself on the one hand to cope with the increasingly acute and frequent environmental, energy and war crises, and on the other hand to accommodate the growing energy needs demanded by the continuous technological advancement and digitization of society.
One of the main partners with whom many Western states, and with them many investee companies such as A2A, decide to enter into agreements for this purpose is Israel, and this choice is by no means accidental.
The continuing state of emergency and war that Israel claims to be in since its inception has meant that the bureaucracy necessary for foreign investment in many areas, including clearly the military, has been streamlined.
Within system-state Israel every sector of society is bent to war needs, and the intermingling of research in the civilian and military spheres is very evident. This interchange involves not only projects but also people: it so happens that among the management cadres of SIBF and partners are former Israeli national security chiefs and former executives of Elbit (an Israeli military technology company).
A2A’s choice to partner with an Israeli investment fund openly aligned with the Zionist project, so much so that it publicly declared “We are at war, but this ongoing war-since Israel’s founding-has been one of the catalysts for our innovative hi-tech industry, and we will prevail,” represents direct support for the Zionist project.
By supporting a major Israeli fund and building hubs in the Israeli capital A2A feeds the huge flows of capital that make possible the existence of system-state Israel and the Zionist occupation of Palestinian territory.
As the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank continues, we consider it urgent not to stand by and multiply the attacks against those who enrich themselves thanks to the Zionist project.

Against a development that brings only devastation and death
Let’s break the home front
The war starts from here

Heraklion, Greece: Incendiary attack against a bus belonging to the GEK TERNA conglomerate

Posted on 2025/02/18 by darknights

What a beautiful sight a burning bus is!

The GEK TERNA conglomerate counts among its losses a staff transport bus, on 24/01/2025, due to arson. A giant company that is responsible for the greatest disasters in the Cretan environment, the Greek territory, but also internationally.

It does business and secures its profits by destroying forests and leveling mountains. It uproots people, animals and plants.

Capitalism has its own ethics: profit above all else. Arguments, logic and justice are unnecessary. As long as they’re profitable, they’ll keep going, even if they leave behind nothing but debris.

It’s not the metal sheets or the tires that are burning and smelling, it’s not the financial damage, even though they make us happy. The fire speaks for itself. It chases the sky, however elusive and distant it may seem. From the spark to the flame, and from the flame to the fire. May we bring fire to the cities, may we burn to ashes the ethics of profit and its supporters.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim by the Cells of Offensive Solidarity for the placement of an incendiary device at Kypseli’s ΕΦΚΑ (National Social Insurance Agency)

Posted on 2025/02/08 by darknights

We take responsibility for the placement of a low powered incendiary device in the early hours of 03/12 at the ΕΦΚΑ office in Kypseli, located on Kefallinias Street.

Although the device, fortunately for you, did not ignite, the message remains the same.

Rest assured that with the same operational ease, we can target any location of our choosing at any time, with a similar device.

The reason we selected this specific target, among the many offered by the metropolis, is that it is a key structure of the state mechanism, one that promotes destitution, subjugation, and consequently, the manipulation of the majority of society. The Social Insurance Agency (ΕΦΚΑ) operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Labour, which in capitalist terms means it acts as an executive organ of the ideological orientation promoted by the current government.

To clarify, ΕΦΚΑ is responsible for distributing pensions of a mere €426.17, withholding contributions from workers, freelancers, and farmers, and combating tax evasion. Taxes for farmers exceed 50%, and for freelancers, they surpass 75%. In summary, ΕΦΚΑ serves as the state’s tax collector, playing a pivotal role in financing its political agenda and legitimizing its existence. But when words fail, numbers speak.

Revenues for the years 2024 and 2025 (approximately) amounted to about €51 billion, while expenses for social security funds were around €50 million. This means only 0.1% of the revenue is returned to society.

ΕΦΚΑ is the hand that gives a pittance to the beggar’s outstretched hand—a currency whose value is dictated by the state and government, within the predefined trajectory imposed on the modern wage slave, who defines themselves based on how productive and disciplined they have been within the capitalist machine, perpetually chasing class advancement and social status validation. Moving beyond the confines of sterile class analysis, which solely blames the state and capital while ignoring the responsibility of those consciously trapped in a condemned life—a life determined by others from birth, bound by servitude, shackled, and surrounded by the glitter of capitalist showcases.

In opposition to the world of social consent and submission, complacency, inertia, and defeatism, against any logic of delegation and waiting, we choose the path of direct action, responding with attacks on the world of power, navigating through the flames of its total destruction. Every call for attack is a proposal for social disengagement, a rupture with all forms of authority, a call for the destruction of the existing order.

With armed hands and words, with a broken heart, and the name of a street etched in memory, we carried out this attack in memory of the armed revolutionary Kyriakos Ximitiris and in solidarity with the anarchist comrade Marianna M., who is held captive in the dungeons of bourgeois democracy. Walking the path of insubordination, dispute, and attack—a path stained with the blood of those who, unrepentant, chose frontal assault on the state and power—every step we take remains unwavering in its purpose.

For every comrade who bore the heavy cost of revolutionary prospects and insurgent action, we promise that with each passing day, as long as our feet tread this earth, we will cut off the heads of our oppressors and dismantle everything they have built with their filthy hands. Comrade, may you have good incursions in the valley of eternal silence.

Strength to imprisoned comrade K.K., accused of arson on a police service van in Mesolongi.

Solidarity to all those prosecuted in the Ambelokipi case.

Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack against Italferr, militarism, and nationalism.

Posted on 2024/12/04 by darknights

Rome, November 28, 2024 – Incendiary attack against Italferr, militarism, and nationalism

We live in times of integration, where the boundaries that usually divided the various domains of control are disappearing. We are in the era of cybernetics, of biotechnologies applied to the body, of transhumanism through which the machine continues its war against the living, trying to integrate with the biological.

These are also the times of actual war, times in which the private sector increasingly supports the public sector in establishing and pursuing the strategic objectives of the State. Capital has entered a new phase of competition, the surplus is struggling to find outlets, and the balance of power between capitalist blocs and their respective areas of influence is being redefined. And war is always a good business.

On April 15, Leonardo, the most important Italian defense and technology company and one of the largest in the world by revenue, controlled by the Ministry, signed an agreement to this effect with RFI, part of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane group, also controlled by the Ministry of Finance. This agreement falls within the scope of the implementation of war logistics required by the changing global geopolitical landscape. The war in Ukraine, along with a broader redefinition of the balance of power between capitalist blocs, is rapidly bringing the military sphere back to the forefront of state concerns. The arms race is already underway (+93% increase in arms imports in 2023), military production is becoming the new driver for the struggling economy, and the entire military machinery must be updated and greased in anticipation of upcoming conflicts.

The agreement aims to “ensure the movement of military resources, within and outside Europe” even “on short notice and on a large scale,” as stated in the announcement of the agreement. It operates within the framework of “Military Mobility, an EU initiative aimed at enhancing existing infrastructural and digital capabilities.” The declared purpose is to create the so-called “military Schengen,” the integration of the individual states’ infrastructure network to allow the rapid and efficient movement of military equipment within Europe. This plan, voted on in 2018 by the Commission, is the only one in the defense sector to have received the approval of all member states. It commits them to “simplify and standardize cross-border military transport procedures” and to “allow the free movement of military personnel and equipment within the EU’s borders” (from the official PESCO website, an initiative of the European Union within the framework of the Common Security and Defense Policy aimed at the structural integration of armed forces). Note that this project was proposed by the commander of the United States Army in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, highlighting Europe’s subservience to the will of U.S. imperialism. While Europe is increasingly fortifying its borders, and the “free movement of goods and people” becomes a memory, victim as it is of the whims of individual rulers ready to suspend it at the first sign of new “emergencies,” efforts are being made to facilitate the “free” movement of military units and resources through the removal of bureaucratic barriers and the improvement of infrastructure.

Specifically, in this agreement, Leonardo will provide “its expertise and support of advanced A.I. techniques on multiple fronts: census and monitoring of dual-use infrastructures, modeling of infrastructures and articulated services, simulation and optimization of complex networks,” while RFI will provide the physical infrastructure, its management and maintenance, considering that it consists of a communication network that runs alongside the tracks and traverses many vectors across the Italian peninsula. It therefore seems that the main application of this agreement is to provide the company that owns the HPC (High Performance Computing) Davinci-1, one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world in the aerospace, defense, and security sectors, “a secure and interoperable communication infrastructure with the different types of networks (TETRA, LTE, 4G/5G), to ensure high levels of service and security.””What is emerging, in simpler terms, is the transition of an infrastructure primarily designed for civilian use to one of the strongest defense industries in Italy and the world.” Continue reading “Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack against Italferr, militarism, and nationalism.” →

Bremen, Germany: Fire and flames for those who profit from fear. OptoPrecision attacked

Posted on 2024/12/04 by darknights

On the night of November 26, 2024, we attacked the headquarters of OptoPrecision in the Horn district of Bremen with incendiary devices. We set fire to the building in two different places. Stones, Molotov cocktails, and several liters of flammable mixture helped us with that.

OptoPrecision GmbH is a company based in Bremen. In its Security Systems division, the company develops surveillance technologies for the police, security services, and the military. Its product range extends from various laser and LED light sources to complete, custom-made systems for complex observation and surveillance tasks, both on land and at sea.

The company attracted our attention because of its close collaboration with the Saxony police. In collaboration with the Görlitz police department, OptoPrecision developed a mobile camera system for reliable video recordings, regardless of daylight, in order to identify people and vehicles. The use of the PerIS person identification system has made headlines this year. The system was tested in Saxony and, with the help of administrative assistance, at least in Lower Saxony, Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg.

Special technique for secret investigations

The cops are snooping around and increasingly intruding into all our private lives. OptoPrecision provides the technology for this. The company offers infrared laser lighting systems, specially designed for covert investigations by law enforcement agencies, which should allow for readable images from hundreds of meters away and in poor visibility conditions. It is increasingly being said that the cops are surveilling comrades for months, even years. OptoPrecision is happy to accept orders from the repressive authorities. This company is therefore co-responsible for the psychological terror, the sleepless nights, the isolation, the fear of searches, and also for the fact that comrades are in jail. We therefore consider our attack as a contribution to the practical work of fighting against repression. On this occasion, we send fiery greetings to our comrades who are in jail or on the run!

Surveillance technology has always been an important tool of the repressive apparatus. The digitization of society and the ever-new technical possibilities help the State to continue, in the future, to improve its public order capabilities. The radical left movement, anti-racist and anti-authoritarian, is already too often threatened by this evolution. A pessimistic view of the future must start from the fact that tomorrow’s right-wing governments and authorities are already preparing their weapons today. In the end, this will not only affect those who resist, but anyone who deviates from a state norm, who has a “bad” origin and/or is in a precarious economic situation. It is therefore not surprising that OptoPrecision not only accepts orders from the police, but also participates in the bloody business of Europe’s borders. On the company’s homepage, you can find techniques for the so-called “border protection.” The company’s vision of humanity is demonstrated, among other things, by the following excerpt from its homepage:
“The tasks of border protection include monitoring national borders and land, maritime, and aerial areas near the border.” In border protection, the challenge is to monitor people and objects over long distances, in varying weather and light conditions.
With OptoPrecision technology, people are monitored, chased, and ultimately killed. Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: Fire and flames for those who profit from fear. OptoPrecision attacked” →

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on the NTUA rectorate

Posted on 2024/11/21 - 2024/11/21 by darknights

Power means total denial of freedom. Imposition is the quintessential means used by those who decide to dominate. So we are talking about a world that was built on this fundamental aesthetic choice. This choice of the ruling class calls upon its servants to implement it. The rectorship of NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) is yet another cog in the machine, one of the threads in the institutional fabric of the state, whose ideological role is sterilization, increased productivity, and the creation of an “excellent” specialized worker who only raises their head when it comes to a better career choice. In short, the ideological role of the university in the neoliberal urban state is to present “governance of science” as the only way societies have to organize themselves. The means by which the university fulfills this role is the monopoly on knowledge, or rather the cultivation of the illusion that it indeed monopolizes knowledge.

In reality, the excellence of NTUA lies in master’s programs in collaboration with TERNA, research on military drones, a close collaboration with police for evictions and arrests, targeting, prosecutions, and the imposition of fines on students. The latest chronological reference point, and after failing to achieve their goal with the successive eviction operations in 2023-24, is the issuance of an ultimatum for all occupied spaces on 31/10/2024. The state and social cannibals rush to stifle any attempt to build an alternative to the prevailing social decay by evicting spaces and intensifying repression, thinking they are terrorizing us. But we do not bow our heads, because we know we are right. The early manifestations of this counter-proposal are the squats, and as long as you do not let us build our own reality, we will destroy yours. After all, the goal is not to build on the existing foundations, but on their ruins. However, destruction does not come on its own.

Fire has always been a weapon of society. So we take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the administration building of NTUA in Zografou, on Friday 08/11/2014.

Santiago, $hile: Numerous incendiary outbreaks at schools and university campuses in the month of October

Posted on 2024/11/03 by darknights

Yesterday (October 11), hooded individuals erected barricades and clashed with the police in the vicinity of the National Institute in commemoration of the death of Denisse Cortés, a comrade and human rights observer who actively participated in the protection and safeguarding of her people in the context of social struggle.

On the other hand, a banner was unfurled denouncing mismanagement and embezzlement of public funds regarding the management and payment of overtime for some officials of the institution, who look after their own interests instead of those of the educational community.

No arrests were made.
