Berlin, Germany: For the 100th Hunger Strike Day, an Italian diplomatic vehicle burns

Posted on 2023/02/03 by darknights

We support the idea of decentralized actions and therefore follow the call for action week from the American South, which supports the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito. Communication through actions and texts is an important approach to build an informal network.

With the attack on the Italian diplomatic corps in the German capital, with the targeted fire against the car number 3 of the embassy, we participate in the week of action. It was parked in Schöneberg at Barbarossa-Platz and belonged to Luigi Estero, the first Consigliere.
This act of revolutionary violence is aimed directly at those responsible for everyday brutal oppression. We want that the civil servants, the judges, the policemen, the politicians and the diplomats not have a quiet life – that they feel unsafe and that they cannot sleep in peace.
Because they are the ones who commit the political massacres, not the exploited, the oppressed or the anarchists. Blood is on the hands of the German and Italian elites who, to give just one example, use the so-called Libyan Coast Guard to murder thousands of migrants, those people who are supposed to exploit their bodies and the soil of their homeland at the lowest prices for the insane capitalism of Europe.

It is a good result that now the Italian Foreign Minister is thinking about increasing the security measures for his embassy staff. We advocate their total isolation. We send a conspiratorial wink at this point to the compas in Barcelona, who had a similar idea, breaking the windows of the Italian consulate there that same night.

Isolation switches sides. While fear grips the rulers, an idea materializes in the deeds of the anarchist movement. Alfredo Cospito is very close – real and alive – and so there is also a closeness among all the other insurgents in the jails and streets.

We salute them all and we are also especially happy to see the expansion of the attacks on forces of order, parties and corporations in Berlin.
Solidarity with Anna Beniamino, Ivan Alocco, Aldo and Lucas Hernández Valdés, Toby Shone and all the prisoners in the torture chambers of the 41 bis regime.

Freedom for all!

International call for mobilisation at Italian embassies in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and for the end of 41 bis prison regime EN/ES/PT/IT/FR/GR/IN

INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR MOBILIZATION AT ITALIAN EMBASSIES IN SOLIDARITY WITH ALFREDO COSPITO AND FOR THE END OF 41 BIS PRISON REGIME

More than 100 days after the start of Alfredo Cospito’s hunger strike we extend the call to all like-minded individuals, groups, organizations and collectives to convene within their territories a mobilization outside the Italian embassies to put pressure on the Italian state and Alfredo’s executioners.

The comrade is dying because the state wants him to die. This is not just a ‘humanitarian’ problem, the comrade’s struggle is a call for international revolutionary action. 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.

The comrades from Chile and Colombia will be present this Friday, February 3th outside their embassies. We hope this initiative will spread further.

CALL, ORGANIZE AND ACT!
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF ALL PRISONS!
END TO THE 41 BIS REGIME!
LONG LIVE THE BLACK INTERNATIONAL! Continue reading “International call for mobilisation at Italian embassies in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and for the end of 41 bis prison regime EN/ES/PT/IT/FR/GR/IN” →

Rome, Italy: Claim of the arson attack on five TIM telecommunications company vehicles in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Anna Beniamino, Ivan Alocco and all anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2023/01/31 - 2023/01/31 by darknights

We receive from anonymous email and publish:

In the early hours of the night of Monday, January 30, we carried out an incendiary action against TIM. The attack was conducted by breaking into the parking lot of one of its offices and setting fire to 5 vehicles. Tim actively collaborates in social control through the installation of the fiber optic network, cameras and electronic bracelets.

Power and its ramifications are everywhere, and anyone who wants to strike at it is spoiled for choice. Take action today, without waiting for more propitious moments or compromising, just as power rages daily and hourly against our lives, revolt must also be daily and permanent.

Let the fire of denial blaze more and more in the cities with an indomitable force to spread chaos in your world of order and repression.

Let the murderous state and the bosses know that this is only the beginning and more than a threat it is a promise.

Posted on 2023/01/27 - 2023/01/27 by darknights

Each step, decision and even mistake have been lessons learned, never regretted or part of something that is posed as absolute that can disregard or belittle the courage of so many comrades through the centuries of struggle against the power of which I consider myself a continuity, without exalting always questioning even the steps themselves.

I continue to firmly consolidate the certainties of our infinite negating capacities, their potential to break with isolation, norms, logics, power in all its amplitude, in the daily and clandestine in anti-authoritarian complicity. For this there are no absolute truths or manuals that can more than our yearnings for freedom, dignity and rebellion, for many the anti-authoritarian struggle seems to be extinguished to many would accommodate them, for our pleasure and their concern will continue to exist, breaking with the indifference of their society of death and misery, solidarity becomes a weapon of struggle, every cry, gesture and action feed our convictions and yearnings becoming an impulse to continue responding to every blow, persecutions, aggressions, isolations. We will put forward our attitude without turning back … indifference in the face of reality is not our option.

In this place, ideas are not abandoned, nothing ends. Today, while the states seek to bury our lives in prison with legal tricks such as the modification of January 2019 to DL 321 that regulates access to parole, regimes such as 41 bis in Italy, Fies in Spain, the renewed high security prison in Chile that promises to be a tomb for refractory soon to be reopened and all attempts to exterminate us democratically, in silence and with the complicity of all those who need and legitimize the prison. From that almost invisible character, owners and masters of the world or the judge and prosecutor who for their slice of power will bury us with laws and years to the miserable henchman who lives at will imprisoned to bury lives, passivity or legitimization of the majorities. In this scenario already known by all I want to give my complicity, respect and affection to Alfredo cospito brother of deep convictions who has made his life a war willing to keep it until its end.

Solidarity/Act so that our enemies cannot bury our lives with the normality they desire and impose. When your body becomes your last weapon of struggle… indifference and lightness cannot be an option, not for anarchists, anti-authoritarians and those who determine themselves as real deniers of power. All my complicity with all those indomitable captives who without looking back defend themselves with tooth and claw… solidarity with the prisoners on hunger strike in Italy, Greece, France, Israel and Turkey.

$hile: Active Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito by Joaquín García

Posted on 2023/01/27 - 2023/01/27 by darknights

Even being distant from any idealization, it is inevitable to feel a deep admiration and respect for Alfredo Cospito, who has been able to sustain an extensive hunger strike, with his body as a battlefield, and an unwavering decision, in his struggle for the end of isolation in the nefarious 41 bis regime in which he has been for many months. Sometimes it is intangible for many to have a concrete notion of what this means, I think that perhaps it is the individual experiences that bring us a little closer to such a crude reality, and even so, it is impossible to feel what those who throw themselves into this battle feel, the physical and mental exhaustion, the sleepless nights and that every gesture costs as much as the greatest effort. We are left with the anguish, the dizziness in the stomach, and the eternal frustration of feeling that we still have to do a lot to balance, at least a little, the scales on which our defeats and victories are measured.

Anarchic, nihilistic, informal and international solidarity with Alfredo!
Let the cry of his body at war resound in every action!

Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack on some vehicles of PosteItaliane, Italgas and EnjoyEni

Posted on 2023/01/25 by darknights

We receive from anonymous email and publish:

Thanks to the fires that ignited the beginning of the new year, which inspired and encouraged us, on the night of January 22 we placed flammable material and set fire to the primers against 3 vehicles of PosteItaliane, Italgas and EnjoyEni.

This action is meant to ardently respond to the international call to mobilization for anarchist and revolutionary prisoners.

The attacks that have ignited revolt and empowered anarchist claims around the world in recent months have shown how the conflict has not died down and how at every latitude of the globe there is someone willing to go out of their way to strike at the state and its collaborators.

We see with joy how much the actions and claims of them break linguistic and national boundaries, creating informal communication in practice. Each attack inspires and places specific common goals on the plate, so we believe it is effective to grasp these clues by fitting into a vision of permanent, internationalist conflict.

The internationalism of action resurfaces effectiveness in the coordination of attack, which is not formal and predetermined but develops informally through propaganda of the deed.

The multiplication of actions across state borders shows how the conflict is not merely a matter of historical memory, but how it lives in the here and now of struggle, in everyday revolt, and how it expresses itself through the sharing of a total denial of political compromises and strategies of any kind.

Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito on hunger strike against 41 Bis.

Against scribblers and politicians, for direct action, without mediation

Solidarity with all anarchist prisoners

Long live Anarchy

$hile: From Chile to Italy. A loud cry of insurrectional complicity for Alfredo Cóspito (Marcelo Villarroel)

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

Via & Translated by Act For Freedom Now!

Words of comrade Marcelo Villarroel from prison. From Chile to Italy –
A loud cry of insurrectional complicity for Alfredo Cóspito!!!
Alfredo Cóspito is an anarchist comrade from Turin imprisoned since September 2012 after the kneecapping of Roberto Adinolfi (on May 7), executive director of Italian nuclear company Ansaldo Nucleare. This act claimed by the “Olga” Cell Informal Anarchist Federation / International Revolutionary Front for which he was sentenced to 10 years and 8 months. He was also sentenced to 20 years (first degree), for the explosive attack on the Carabinieri training school in Fossano (Cuneo) on June 2, 2006, claimed by Terrible Anonymous Revolt – Informal Anarchist Federation, which provoked the state response through the operation “Scripta Manent”.

Alfredo has been an anarchist comrade in active praxis for decades. Always consistent with his anti-authoritarian projectuality, he has maintained several antagonistic initiatives for which, even though he has been in prison for more than 10 years, the Italian fascist state does not forgive him.

In May of this year he was transferred to the Bancali prison in Sardinia where he was locked up under the 41 bis extreme isolation regime.

This prison regime was the Italian state’s response in 1992 to the rising violence of the mafia.

Since then, political prisoners of the Red Brigades have also been imprisoned under the same regime. Continue reading “$hile: From Chile to Italy. A loud cry of insurrectional complicity for Alfredo Cóspito (Marcelo Villarroel)” →

Posted on 2023/01/21 - 2023/01/21 by darknights

When the journey is without return or hesitation for a revolutionary subversive or anarchist. The decisions of struggle are based on the conviction of life.
Life that we defend with integrity and consistency in every scenario. We understand freedom as a reflection of our actions, we understand it in the indomitable, in what removes and combats the slave order and not in the precarious and miserable capitalist format of opting for alternatives of welfare and consumerism.
Thus owners of our steps and sighs, owners of the life that runs through our bones and skin in war.
Life that we defend free from any space and with all means and capacities.
Hand in hand with decision we pick up the continuous thread of direct action, brotherhood breaking frontiers and impossibilities.
Today the complicity, the multiform and horizontal conspiracy unfolds and positions itself by building from resistance and international solidarity.

Far from old organizational logics or authoritarian parties, I raise my war cry. In the same trench of Alfredo Cospito, who began by making visible the isolation and perpetuity of his sentence. Faced with a State that has a whole structural framework and a doctrine of constant, sinister and class oppression. Today the mobilization of the Italian anarchist comrade battles with death. After almost 90 days on hunger strike and adding up, only sustainable in the conviction and fortitude of an unwavering heart and a life at war.
Putting the body as a weapon of confrontation and struggle is a sign of revolutionary strength. From his anarchist foundations Alfredo is not one of those who are just passing through. Alfredo is fighting against all the rottenness of the State and its machinery. He fights with his body this subversive battle.
I write from anger and as an enemy of the State from the pain that strengthens us and puts us to the test. The real word that emanates from the fierce certainty that the only freedom lies in action. That these prisons that they invented to contain us fail and will fail as long as we stand up to fight against it and all the shit that sustains them.

Strength, compañero/brother, my respect for the struggle.
I have nothing to say to power. My energies go to you Alfredo, every breath of oxygen of these letters belong to you and to each one of the comrades who fight to close the 41 bis.
A complicit embrace of struggle and unwavering resistance in tenderness.
Our life in war does not end with torture, jail or death.
Death to the prison society and to all the states and institutions that sustain them.
Internationalist Solidarity for Alfredo Cospito
Against 41 bis and life imprisonment.

Leipzig, Germany: Anti-State-Attack in solidarity with the hunger strikers

Posted on 2023/01/21 - 2023/01/21 by darknights

Our small cell of anarchists decided to attack as our declaration of solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and the other hungerstrikers around the world. On the 11th January we damaged two buildings of the state in Leipzig. One is the citizens administration and the other is “Support”-center for criminal youth. Both represent institutions the state uses to control us. We consider the state our enemy that stands between us and our liberation, so we have to attack it relentlessy.

On our minds this night was the way the italian state tortures Alfredo Cospito. We see the fight in the prisons around the world and wanted to support the hunger strikers, too. Your writing and your actions as part of the Black International were always very similar with how we like anarchy for our self. Anarchy as the attack of every authority without compromise. We will keep doing that as long as we are free!

The 11th January was also the day that the subversive part of the activists in Luetzerath called for an action day. On our way back from the action we saw a car of one of the biggest housing-corporations in Leipzig – “Kühne Immobilien”. In solidarity with the brave defenders of Luetzerath we destroyed their car, too. The climate movement could learn a lot from Cospitos actions. What a dream it would be to hear of the detonation of a bomb in front of the police station in Aachen or the kneeshot for the CEO of “RWE”. Maybe we will get there in Germany at some point.

One night later in leipzig anarchists burned 6 cars from Hertz in solidarity with Cospito! That is music in our ears! https://knack.news/4783

Power to all prisoners! Free them all!
