Berlin, Germany: Claim of Responsibility for the Incendiary Attack Against a Greek Diplomatic Vehicle

Posted on 2024/02/07 by darknights

On January 30, we placed an incendiary device under a car with the number plate of Greece’s diplomatic mission in Germany. The action took place in the Rosenthaler district in Berlin.

The action is not directed against a specific person but against the relations between two racist and murderous states and those responsible for them. The burning diplomatic car is once again a vehicle for international messages between the oppressed and at the same time a message to those who want to rule the world…

..that we have not forgotten the hundreds of murders committed last June off the coast of Pylos at the hands of the Greek coastguard and Frontex.

…that we have not forgotten the racist, murderous acts of violence by the police against Roma youth in Greece.

…that we do not remain inactive in the face of the persecution of anarchists and individuals fighting against oppression and exploitation.

In 2024, at a time when indifference in the face of daily mass murders is far advanced, we anarchists continue to reach out to migrants. We want to remind them once again that mass migration has its origins in the system and that those who try to control it are the same ones who live off our labour and resources. The thousands of murders at the borders are murders of our brothers and sisters. The victims of the coming pogroms and assassinations in this increasingly openly racist European Union live among us and stand side by side with us.

In memory of Oury Jalloh, who was tied up and set on fire alive with broken bones in a police cell on January 7, 19 years ago.

Signed: Anarchists

PS: For the immediate release of Nikos Maziotis and solidarity with Pola Roupa!

About the Switch Off! attack campaign

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

A year ago in Europe a campaign of attack against companies and infrastructures that feed the ecological catastrophe around the world, entitled Switch Off! was launched. Large and small actions have positioned themselves in offensive from the concern and need to confront an evident eco-systemic collapse provoked by the global capitalist machinery that destroys everything in its path.

The intention of the campaign is to “attack the system in a sustainable way”, placing direct action in a common context through anonymous communication with each other, inviting to arm themselves with their own means and go on the offensive against the productive infrastructure and with it the property, without falling into false discursive, institutional and/or technological illusions, “making it clear that there can be no green capitalist alternative, nor peace with the existing conditions”.

In a first statement of presentation we can see more precisely what is the background and objective of why to invite the use of the slogan “Switch Off!”:

Switch off – a call to revolt

(DN Note: We make our own translation into English from the original German text.)

The certainty that the current system will lead to the collapse of the massively damaged ecosystem has already moved countless people and driven them into resistance. Tens of thousands are taking to the streets against the capitalist machinery’s “business as usual”, people are resisting the destructive large-scale projects en masse, the system’s infrastructure is being blocked and courageous fighters are setting fire to the machines that are robbing them of their livelihoods.

What we need in the struggle against the destruction of nature and the resulting social misery is the common striving for the real revolutionary break and the freedom of all. For an initiative that rejects all compromises and cosmetic corrections of the state and brings about a transformation of our social relations.

Because the destruction of the planet by the neoliberal economic system is inextricably linked to patriarchal thought patterns, racism and colonialism. The initiative for this must necessarily come from below. From the struggles of the marginalized. From the struggles of those who oppose the state’s promise of salvation with a self-organized, solidary coexistence. From the struggles of those who see that there can be no compromise in the fight against the systemic destruction of the biosphere.

We should also be aware that we cannot completely prevent the gradual collapse of a massively damaged ecosystem. Not the loss of biodiversity. Not the depletion of resources. We will not be able to prevent the climate catastrophe, as we are already in the midst of it. Admitting this – without any doomsday pathos – does not paralyze us. On the contrary: it should open up the question for us and our contexts of what our lives and our revolutionary struggles could look like in the future.

We can hardly block and sabotage as radically and uncompromisingly as the climate change caused by capitalism requires. But we should not be discouraged by this. Let us question, sabotage and sustainably attack the infrastructure of capitalism in the fight against exploitation. So that another world becomes possible! Let us cooperate with each other in solidarity so that we can live a dignified life. Let us realize our ideas in the here and now and already within our struggles and actions. We will not be lulled into complacency by the attempts at appeasement by those in power.

Against their technological solutions

The solutions offered by those in power for the now noticeable effects of the ecological crisis are primarily technological. This is obviously also driven by lobbying, but above all it is a strategy to legitimize themselves. The development, control and application of the “technologies of the future”, which are supposed to make growth capitalism “sustainable”, are in the hands of the state, industry and science and are inextricably linked to them. If we are being sold the illusion that climate change can be stopped technologically, then this is based on the belief that those in power only need to take the right steps, the right measures, to save this world.  For one thing, they have absolutely no interest in ending the expansionist capitalism that secures their position of power. And for another, technological reform, with the new dependencies it produces, is also doomed to failure. Examples of this could be e-mobility or technologies for the production of so-called renewable energies. The required raw materials are often procured in the course of neo-colonial environmental exploitation. The transportation of these raw materials and components is in turn highly dependent on fossil fuels. As a result, a conversion of the current industry to renewable energies before the global oil reserves dry up is unthinkable anyway. Continue reading “About the Switch Off! attack campaign” →

Santiago, $hile: Responsibility claim for failed incendiary/explosive attack on RED bus – Black November by ‘Conspiracy for the Savage Iconoclast – Kevin Garrido Cell’

Posted on 2023/12/03 - 2023/12/03 by darknights

Santiago, $hile: Claiming responsibility for failed incendiary/explosive attack on RED bus – Black November.

“We have inherited many great ideas about how to confront domination, we know that nothing is set in stone. From the bones and broken tools of our predecessors we make our weapons. Nothing is guaranteed to work, but we attack regardless” (Müller).

Throughout history we have witnessed how techno-industrial progress has reinforced social control, securing every gear for its perverse reproduction. Capital and the state speak no other language than that of property, commodity, production and profit, and is willing to devastate everything in its path if it implies the perpetuation of its power through citizen-civilized servitude. The interconnection of the metropolis is possible, in part, thanks to the means of transportation throughout the cities. These means, more than a “service”, are the main tools for the transportation of goods within the cities. Yes, when we speak of merchandise we are also referring to humans, since in the empire of the market, all existence is reduced to the quantification of capital.

Without magic recipes or manuals written in stone, we experienced anarchy to the rhythm of the frontal and direct attack against the domain. On this occasion, we deposited an incendiary/explosive device inside a RED bus, which failed to detonate and was found inside a bus terminal. We were not discouraged by the outcome. We analyzed the technical errors, studied the causes and continued on the path of attack, seeking to be more and more dangerous and imperceptible. We know that anarchic warfare is not reduced to relations of material force against the enemy, much less to technical operation capabilities. For this reason, we decided to proudly claim this action, since we think that reducing 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 anti-systemic praxis. Our methods and practices are deployed from informality and individual freedom, this as an antibody against any authoritarian attempt to direct our destructive power; be it “leader”, ” manager”, “collective” or any name that assumes dominance in our relationships.

This action is framed within what is another Black November in memory of comrade Kevin Garrido, murdered on November 2, 2018 in the prison-company Santiago 1. The indomitable and chaotic spirit of the comrade is present in this insurgent attempt against the civilizing domestication that imprisons all of us who cannot stand this horrible and caged world.

A fraternal and complicit embrace to our affinities and comrades. To those who for their audacity and insolence expect to be locked up with exemplary sentences and who have not been victimized or bowed down after their conscious and consistent actions. Francisco Solar, Mónica Caballero, Juan Flores and all the prisoners at war throughout the world to the streets!

ONWARD SAVAGES, ICONOCLASTS, ANARCHISTS AND NIHILISTS!

FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF POWER, CIVILIZATION AND ALL AUTHORITY, TO RETURN TERROR TO ALL WHO ATTACK FREEDOM.

DOWN WITH THE CAGES OF CIVILIZED SOCIETY!

KEVIN GARRIDO PRESENTE!

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!”

U$A: Vertiv Corporation Trucks Set On Fire – Milwaukie OR

Posted on 2023/09/01 by darknights

Last week, to commemorate the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners, under the cover of darkness a small incendiary device was placed on the wheel arc of a Vertiv truck located on the edge of a sleepy office park in Milwaukie OR. The delay was lit before we disappeared back into the forest

Vertiv Corporation develops critical support equipment and services for commercial IT systems—technology that is utilized by United States military in addition to state and federal law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI and ICE. Vertiv is part of the broad corporate infrastructure of state repression that condemns us all to a world of mass surveillance, borders, and militarized police

AGAINST COP CITY

This action was inspired in part by the continued militancy and creativity of the movement to stop the construction of Cop City in Atlanta GA. Cop City is a testing ground for other law enforcement agencies across the country to construct similar facilities—continuing a broader trend towards the militarization of policing and domestic counter-insurgency. For their part, Vertiv is a supplier to the Atlanta Police Department. Just in the year 2023 alone, the APD paid Vertiv $168,315 to utilize their technology.

Cop City is everywhere, so our resistance will be everywhere. March 5th was our call to war…

For Tort

For Rayshard Brooks

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack on Red bus in Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño school by Zukato

Posted on 2023/08/07 by darknights

On Tuesday, August 1, an incendiary attack was made on a Red bus outside the Liceo Barros Borgoño in solidarity with the Liceo de Aplicación student and classmate Zukato. A weapon was also displayed from the windows of the front of the establishment, intimidating the presence of the Carabineros who arrived to extinguish the fire on the bus and transfer it to the terminal to be inspected.

A banner and pamphlet read: “Zukato, we support you with kaos and rebellion” and “Solidarity and newen to those who do not hesitate to attack this world of misery. We call for solidarity with compa Zukato, who was injured and has been caught up in the morbidity and criminalization of the bourgeois press. In this same way we make it clear that as combative and subversive supporters we are not even in the sewer with their media, dominated and manipulated for the good of the powerful. Newen and speedy recovery for Zukato! Continue reading “Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack on Red bus in Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño school by Zukato” →

Chile: Claim of incendiary attack on RED bus outside the San Miguel Prison

Posted on 2023/08/07 - 2023/08/07 by darknights

Received by e-mail:

Incendiary attack on RED bus outside San Miguel Prison

When we visualize the face of the enemy, we immediately recognize the prison and its penitentiary system, with all its apparatuses and officials, as a focus to destroy, since it is there where historically they have sought to imprison revolutionary minds and actions.

Both in the past and in the present, we know that our comrades in prison have had to resist on a daily basis the constant harassment of their bodies, as the gendarmerie tries to systematically provoke the demoralization of our comrades in prison, through humiliation, punishment, torture, threats to take away their visits or orders in the face of any act that alters the codes of domination within the modules.

That is why, by means of a precision attack, we have set fire to a RED bus with an efficient incendiary device outside the San Miguel Prison, with the aim of altering the passivity that can be smelled in the streets in the face of a society that watches and controls behavior, longing for submission and building a false belief about the impossibility of fighting it.

A special greeting to comrade Monica Caballero, who is in a new trial against her together with Francisco Solar for several explosive attacks against repressors and powerful people. Insurrectional solidarity with Monica and Francisco!

A warm embrace for Itamar Diaz who recently experienced the punishment of the San Miguel jailers after confronting their authoritarian dynamics. Also for the comrades in Santiago 1 who were dispersed to different modules after showing solidarity with Itamar.

For all of you, a gesture of solidarity turned into fire, trying to oxygenate the daily life in prison, know that you are with us in every action. A speedy recovery to comrade Zukato.

For the abolition of prisons!
To multiply the autonomous action!
