Berlin, Germany: Amazon truck torched – Alfredo Libero!
On Saturday morning, the press reported a burned-out truck in Mitte. The cops did not report it at all. What was also not said is that it was a vehicle from Amazon. Probably for a good reason, since there seems to be an increasing number of attacks on companies and infrastructure that profit from current “crises” at the expense of the general public and the environment. Both through the digital transformation of the economy and through the establishment of green capitalism. A further spread of such acts is hardly in the sense of the police press office. In ours however already, esch.
Therefore, now we share this info to close the knowledge gap. Actually, it needs no further explanation why Amazon becomes the target of our rage. Everything that tempts us to attack the technology giant, comrades before us have already put down on paper in detail in letters of denouncement.
Paint, stones and fire against Amazon
Construction crane burned down at Amazon construction site
25 Amazon delivery trucks torched
But now that we are speaking out, we want to use the attention to address the devastating situation of Alfredo Cospito, who is being held incommunicado in Italy. Alfredo has been on hunger strike for more than 110 days in order to obtain a relaxation of the conditions of his special detention. In doing so, it seems entirely as if the Italian government is letting him die in full view of the public. A prisoner anarchist fights for some dignity and already democracy shows its true face, and this one looks a hell of a lot like fascism. Unsurprising, yet very revealing.
Alfredo Libero.
Fuck Bezos, Fuck Amazon – Fight the Tower!

For Alfredo Cospito:
A loud war cry!!!
A call for internationalist solidarity!
A clear call to action!!!
In the course of the mobilizations in solidarity with the hunger strike of Italian anarchist comrade Alfredo Cospito, which has been going on for 104 days, today, January 31, anarchist and subversive prisoners held in the La Gonzalina-Rancagua Prison are beginning a solidarity fast. This is a minimal gesture of complicity in the face of such a transcendental and decisive struggle that the comrade is carrying out to end the isolation the Italian State has subjected him to and against his recent life sentence.
The situation is extremely urgent and there is no room for moments of waiting and reflection that only strengthen apathy and inaction.
Nor is it the time to be passive spectators while the Italian State lets Alfredo die, in one of the clearest demonstrations of authoritarian brutality.
Are we going to wait for our comrade to die before deciding to act?
Solidarity from Indonesia with Alfredo Cospito
Solidarity Poster from Indonesia for Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike. Long live the subversive and anarchist prisoners who are on a hunger strike! Indifference and passivity will never be our allies; solidarity will be. As well was expressed in a letter with a bullet inside to the Italian newspaper “Il Tirreno”: “If Alfredo Cospito dies, all the judges are a target”. Let’s let the Italian state know that if Alfredo dies, we will be his worst enemy. freedom for Alfredo Cospito end the 41bis isolation regime!
Dan untuk ini juga kami memberi anda senyuman, pelukan, ciuman, kedipan mata, dan solidaritas abadi kami!
Death to all the state!
Long live Anarchy!
Long Live CCF/FAI-IRF!
Long Live Black International!
Let’s attack the state!

New York, U$A: Attack on Amazon Delivery Vehicles in Brooklyn in Solidarity with ATL Forest
Attack Amazon! Attack the Police! Defend Nature! Solidarity with ATL Forest!
On Thursday, Febuary 2nd, we attacked a Rivian charging station in Brooklyn, New York. We hit four Amazon delivery vehicles, and one Rivian vehicle as part of the cost of doing business with Amazon.
We put up a message in memory of Tortuguita, our comrade who was murdered by Atlanta pigs for fighting against “Cop City,” the latest expansion of counter insurgent state violence.
The pigs intend to increase their ability to murder us and uphold the despotic state of capitalist barbarism.
We also want to highlight the significance of the environmental struggle today. The world is sprinting to unmitigated devastation, and the impending climate catastrophe will soon make human existence unbearable.
Capitalism is now killing off all life on the planet and this sick society heralds monsters like Elon Musk as our saviors.
We unabashedly reject this deplorable vision for the future, and don’t care what the personal repercussions are.
Just like Tortuguita, we will put our lives on the line and give them up if necessary to ensure life continues.
But not life for life’s sake. We recognize that only through revolution can we succeed in destroying capitalism, and without the total annihilation of capitalism, climate catastrophe is practically inevitable.
We will never give up our attacks on the system. Our only regret is that we only got one picture and couldn’t attack more. Next time will be even better!
Solidarity with ATL Forest Defenders. Solidarity with the struggles in Latin America, the Palestinian struggle and the struggles against the exploitation the world over.
Remember the martyrs. And riot and fight like hell for the living!
Death to America!

Berlin, Germany: Fire in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito – Strabag excavator set on fire!
As a sign of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and his hunger strike against the 41bis regime, we set fire to a Strabag excavator Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg in the night between 9.2 and 10.2.
Against the society that needs prisons, from whose construction Strabag profits. Against the society which believes in a green capitalism, for which Strabag builds power plants worldwide!
It is to be welcomed that there is an international resonance, which was initiated by the mobilization of the innumerable comrades in Italy. It warms our hearts to see how the solidarity with the anarchist prisoners becomes a weapon that seeks and finds its targets worldwide. Our analyses of this society inevitably lead us to attack and overthrow it. But it is not only dry analyses that move us, we feel a deep disgust for this world with all its constraints. We share the proposals and debates aimed at an international discourse. It takes an informal gathering of enemies of the state to get and stay in motion. Internationalism can thus enable the exchange of experiences, critiques, and perspectives, and promote aggressiveness. We can literally smell the smoke that the wind from the south brings and hear the echo of the comrades shouting: “Alfredo out of the 41bis!
However, it is questionable whether Alfredo will get out of the 41bis regime in the foreseeable future and whether he will be aware of all that is happening “outside”. It is also questionable whether he will survive this showdown with authority. It seems that the die is already cast. The Italian government has said several times that it will not back down. Surely there is much more at stake for them than “just” having a dead anarchist on their conscience.
However, fighting from an anarchist perspective means much more to us than saving a single life in this acute situation. Probably Alfredo has already made his decision long ago, as it is put up for debate in the text “Anytime – Some reflections on the last months of mobilization in Italy”. However, we can take the uncompromising nature of his actions as inspiration to intensify the subversion and ensure that the echo of his struggle, now clearly heard beyond Italy’s borders, will not be silenced anytime soon. With passion and joy, and armed with our dreams, against all that prevents us from realizing them; state, government, authority, justice, capitalism and the power structure that sustains it all.
Freedom comes through fighting movement – For more state decomposition!
Solidarity with Alfredo, Juan, Anna, Ivan, Dayid, Tonio and all other rebels in the jails.
Greetings to the anarchist from the Parkbank trial, who is imprisoned again in Hamburg
In memory of Tortuguita, who was shot by cops on January 18 during a raid on the StopCopCity occupation (Atlanta, USA). Rest in Power!
Long live anarchy!

Voltaggio, Italy: ‘HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!’ Relay Antennas sabotage in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito
recieved by email
HE WHO HURTS BY WAR, BY WAR … EARNS!
This increasingly pervasive and intrusive society is now entirely illuminated by the beacon of science, and it treads, step by step, the path indicated by it.
This light is not only nefarious but is leading us toward a point of no return, toward a deadly precipice.
Although this is well known, it is also pointedly reiterated by scientists and members of the political class themselves.
In a speech a few months ago, the former minister of ecological transition, Cingolani, said that every “breakthrough” procures more problems than it solves, but that nonetheless it is progress and therefore we must move forward.
This “moving forward” translates into the “green” model.
Everything is or must become green: green economy, green nuclear power plants, green technology to which the digital revolution belongs.
It is yet another transformation of society, no longer political as at the time of the French Revolution, nor economic as in the various restructurings of the capitalist model, but techno-scientific.
The various sectors of the capitalist economy either adapt or disappear, and politics supinely carries out the various impositions dictated by science.
The current transformation has certainly taken advantage of three major opportunities that have come its way: climate change, covid-19 and the war in Ukraine.
– Climate change, in the public eye, has led millions of people to demonstrate and thus bring attention to our society’s environmental impact on the planet.
Since very few are actually inclined to radically change their lifestyles, but want to enjoy all the comforts they are accustomed to, their protests are already a blunt weapon from the start. The power system has found in this a nice proposal to renew itself by initiating the so-called “ecological transition,” which consists of a major restructuring of the way of producing energy (renewable sources) and consumer products that are more “sustainable,” that is, with less environmental impact, thus killing three birds with one stone.
THE FIRST political: thus dampening the protests and making it clear that the voice of the governed is close to the hearts of the rulers; one never knows that these, despite the reigning social peace, if unheeded will not seriously disturb the sleep of the masters.
THE SECOND economic: a profit opportunity for companies that can launch new products on the market and by appearing “friendly” to the environment, attract to themselves a slice of new consumers and consequently new earnings.
THE THIRD scientific: the chance to experiment, research in hitherto untrodden fields and further increase their influence on living things.
– The covid-19 has given a strong impetus to medical science, which by appealing to fear and a desire for a return to “normality” has in fact imposed compulsory vaccination without, moreover, waiting for the necessary testing time of a serum before it can be “safe”; a testing on billions of individuals.
Not only to medical science but also to technical applications to monitor and card all those people refractory to the vaccine. The various green passes and permits to be able to travel or work could not be effective without widespread control of individuals, control made possible by the increasingly new and invasive technological apparatuses.

Hunger Strike of Anarchists and Fighting Prisoners in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito
The 41-bis prison regime is the completion of the prison structure into a masqueraded death sentence. The execution, in this case, does not end in one moment, like with a gunshot, the tightening of the noose, the application of electrical current or the injection of poison into the body, rather it lasts a lifetime in a state of social coma, in a state of non-world. And so, spread through time. Out of this world, the death sentence has evaded history, just like the state pursues oblivion for all the prisoners of the social war who are buried alive in the state of 41-bis. The 41-bis regime has already murdered one fighter, Diana Blefari Melazzi.
The 41-bis regime and the law about “massacre” are the legacy of the european counter-revolution from the time of Piazza Fontana (Strage di piazza Fontana). This civil war never ended. The states, and particularly the Italian one, carry on the counter-revolution so that the flame may never flare up again. All the systems follow, step by step, the examples first introduced as special warfare, e.g. the white cells of West Germany, the F-type prisons in Turkey and the FIES prisons in Spain to the Type-C prisons in Greece or the new high security prison system A.A.; the still active Hitler-inspired law about indefinite extension of one’s sentence on “preventative” grounds, by which comrade Thomas Meyer Falk is being held for another 10 years (25 in total) in Freiburg prison in Germany, to the different methods of extorting declarations of repentance, and from Asinara to Imrali.
Anarchist Alfredo Cospito is fighting for the flame to flare up again. Let’s reassert the fight of the comrade.
It is our duty to defend in deed the battle that Alfredo Cospito is fighting. A struggle for and against time itself. This particular hunger strike does not concern only the comrades in the italian territory, but it is internationalist, and so the star of internationalist solidarity must shine on the side of Alfredo Cospito and all those who are fighting from within a special prison regime. From Greece to every point in the planet – for all those fighting for freedom.
Because defeat is not captivity, but losing one’s faith in the possibility of wining. So, we are collectively going on a hunger strike, according to each one’s capacity, so that we may stand by the side of anarchist revolutionary Alfredo Cospito, but also, against the death regime of 41-bis.
At the same time the struggle against the new prison code in greek prisons is continuing.
