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.

Santiago, Chile: Responsibility claim for bus set on fire outside the Ex-pedagógico (UMCE) and armed confrontation with special forces of the carabineros

Posted on 2023/01/13 - 2023/01/13 by darknights

Note: The events that are claimed below happened on November 4 of last year, and their late date is explained by the fact that, in the words of the comrades themselves, it is “to be able to remember it with the aroma of the passing of time and to begin a new year of subversion and explosions.”

(Received at informativoanarquista@riseup.net)

Santiago, Chile: Bus set on fire outside the Ex-pedagógico (UMCE) and armed confrontation against special forces of carabineros for the iconoclastic memory of Kevin Garrido and in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito and the comrades of the Susaron Case. (04/11/2022).

“We speak of a new war, a new partisan war. Without front or uniform, without army or decisive battle. A war in which the focal points are deployed far from the mercantile flows, although they are connected to them. We speak of a totally latent war. That has time. Of a war of position. Which is being waged where we are. In the name of no one. In the name of our own existence, which has no name” (How to do? Tiqqun).

About the action.

During a quiet and bohemian Friday afternoon at the Ex Pedagógico, while the citizen/student mass lives its lethargic and alienated youthful fun, a violent direct action took place. This action is framed within the so-called “Black November”, where it is informally called to commemorate the life and death of comrade Kevin Garrido through the violent, diffuse and multiform attack. The action begins with our exit through the front of the university to proceed to cut off vehicular traffic in the area. We set up a barricade of tires and debris that we lit at the moment of intercepting a public transport bus. Our intention was to cross the bus horizontally to the street in order to cut off all traffic, however the driver of the vehicle blocked its driving, so we proceeded to set it on fire at the place of its interception with accelerating liquids. Without intending to harm the mass of citizens, we were constantly rebuked and repudiated for this action. We did not care and we responded verbally to their desperate insults and we were attentive to any onslaught that could emerge from any individual-citizen-cop with a craving for civil heroism, we shit on those people who, upon seeing armed comrades, dare to insult them, believing themselves -imbecilically- untouchable, voluntarily putting their physical integrity at risk in front of us. After this eventful moment, we entered the campus to wait for the police deployment and to receive it with all our strength: thunderous gunshots and a rain of Molotov cocktails hit the bodies of the squad of henchmen who naively took cover on the corner of Juan Gómez Millas street while the armored cars crossed the street. They clearly did not expect our means of attack to put their miserable lives at risk, which left a couple of policemen on the ground (apparently wounded by the shots) and provoked an almost immediate response: they shot at us with their service weapons and gassed the entire area of the front gate. After this counterattack, we used and unloaded all our material and disappeared fleetingly from the place.

Motivations.

This action -as we mentioned before- is part of the international campaign for a Black November in memory of the savage iconoclast Kevin Garrido, 4 years after his murder in the Santiago 1 prison. It is also a blow to the gears of capital that subject all forms of life to a lethargy of normality/passivity typical of a counterinsurgent period catalyzed by the democratic mechanisms of a social democratic government that has established an atmosphere of post-transition.

We abhor this reality and have no hope of reforming it, whether for democratic or “revolutionary” ends, so we attack it. Besides, hope (even the “hope of revolution”) is just that: hope. We do not hope. We attack… “when hope dies, action begins” (Beyond Hope, Derrick Jensen). Let those who still believe in social and human redemption wait while their social bases are camouflaged according to the dictates of the government of the day. We no longer believe. We do not even believe in the Social Revolution that the prophets of anarchy occupy to embellish their babbling tongues and project a false image on the depressing reality of this world. We deny it. “The idea of “progress” is central to the modern Western paradigm in which the assumption that the whole world is moving towards an ever better future predominates. The idea of the inevitability or possibility of a global libertarian future arises from that belief” (“Desert”, anonymous). We leave theoretical fables for the masturbatory leisure of academics. We are not part of any revolutionary tradition that dictates and imposes our practical work. Our action is Pleasure through destruction. We live our anarchy today and not in a “revolutionary” tomorrow.

Perhaps a burned bus, a few Molotovs and a couple of bullets will not put an end to domination. However, we prefer to contribute decisively to its destruction without any consequences. Our freedom is found in the attack, because it is only when we untie the chains of morality and the servitude of capital and decide to take action, that we conquer that freedom of which the old and dusty philosophy books talk so much.

$hile: Words of the anarchist prisoner Aldo Hernández Valdés from a cell of module 12 of the prison “la gonzalina” Rancagua

Posted on 2023/01/08 - 2023/01/08 by darknights

I have decided to write a few lines in which I would like to deeply thank the anonymous and critical support that I have received through these solid walls that today enclose me.

More than a decade ago I decided to take the ideas, and try to reflect with actions what I carried in this black heart. I knew it was a duel to the death, to fight this prison society and all those who sustain this model of misery.

History has been stained with our unyielding and fighting blood. The restlessness of the beautiful minds helps us to keep present, our fallen and at the same time gives us clarity of those who deserve our insurrectional convictions. It sustains all our eternal contempt for authority and for anyone who takes from us the beauty of freedom. Freedom that is treasured in our black hearts.

To thank the concern of the different political prisoners who have been attentive since I arrived at this extermination center.

To Juan Aliste and Marcelo Villarroel who from the first moment communicated to know about my situation.

To the close embrace with Comandante Ramiro of encouragement and strength. Continue reading “$hile: Words of the anarchist prisoner Aldo Hernández Valdés from a cell of module 12 of the prison “la gonzalina” Rancagua” →

Chile: Text of anarchist prisoner Lucas Hernandez from prison/company Santiago 1

Posted on 2023/01/08 by darknights

In the early morning of December 22, 2022, after a series of raids conducted by the South Metropolitan High Complexity Prosecutor’s Office, as part of an investigation into an explosive attack on the National Directorate of the Chilean Gendarmerie…

Two comrades were arrested, my brother/comrade and I.

On that 22nd day, the official press published our faces as a trophy, making a spectacle of us. And as usual, condemning in advance all those who decide to rebel against this world of control and punishment.

Those who dictate and control our confinement do not take into account the anarchist solidarity, solidarity that approves of walls and confinement, of bullets and shackles. Solidarity that we could feel from the first moment we arrived at the module where I am. We were received with full and fraternal hands by the comrades charged in the Susaron case.

In these lines I want to thank all those who have been concerned about us: The family, my compañeros, friends, anonimxs and those who share the ideas that overflow my heart and individual thinking. A hug for all of them. Continue reading “Chile: Text of anarchist prisoner Lucas Hernandez from prison/company Santiago 1” →

Chile: Text of the antiauthoritarian prisoner Juan Flores during the week of action and solidarity with the anarchist prisoners.

Posted on 2022/08/30 by darknights

“Humility as the basis for the growth, development and strengthening of anti-authoritarian ideas.”

Because we are still on war footing!!!

Because we continue clearing the paths that will lead us towards the longed-for revenge, giving continuity to our insurrectional yearning.

Together with Maury and Angry!!!!

Together with Ravachol, Severino, Mateo Morral, Sante and all our brothers and sisters who have fallen rabid and thirsty for revenge!!!!

These words are born and fly free from the extermination center Las Gonzalinas in Rancagua, saluting in a fraternal and accomplice way the insurrectionist action of each individual that in any place of the globe resists to a death in monotony in the asphyxiating life of total control, a thousand times I will say it, they are my strongest heartbeat, the continuity that the power fears so much. Also to those brothers and sisters who at the point of insubordinate creativity have decided to show solidarity in this week of agitation.

I have declared myself and acted as an individual in confrontation with domination and its repressive apparatus, making it clear that the anti-authoritarian ideas, the anger against the prevailing order and the memory that shape me will not be bent either by their long sentences or by their askerosas prisons in this sense I transit in war inside the prison like so many anti-authoritarian brothers and sisters is a call to all those individuals who recognize themselves as irreconcilable enemies of the power, to continue advancing along the path of social warfare, giving life among peers and like-minded people to the intensification of conflict and anarchic action in an unbridled manner and against all odds. Today, almost 8 years after my imprisonment, I can share the result of a life in rebellion in which humility has been the basis for maintaining the continuity of my anti-authoritarian struggle in a dignified manner in these dungeons. Every step, decision and even every mistake have been learnings, 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 continuity, without exalting always questioning even my own steps. Today I continue to firmly consolidate the certainties of our infinite negating capacities of the existing to break the captivity, its norms, logics, control and all its order in the everyday and the 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 but for our pleasure and their concern our rebellion will continue to exist.

Santiago, Chile: (Updated) Explosive Attack against Gendarmerie Officers Circle in Retirement + Claim of “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre”.

Posted on 2022/06/03 - 2022/06/03 by darknights

During the early morning of May 26, 2022, around 1:00 a.m., two hooded men ride a bicycle to the building where the miserable torturers “in retirement” remain. The Circle of Gendarmerie Officials in Retirement (CIRGENCHI), located in José Toribio Medina # 72, in the heart of downtown Santiago.

The unknown persons left a device to leave quickly without being detected or attracting attention. Soon after, a loud explosion occurs, alerting the neighbors, without causing any damage or injuries.

Police personnel quickly arrived and the case was taken to the South Prosecutor’s Office, which delegated its proceedings to personnel from GOPE, LABOCAR and OS9. At first it was reported that a fire extinguisher with its normal chemical powder charge was found in the place, but with the passing of time this information will be denied by the protagonists.

The attack is claimed by the “Célula Insurreccional 2 de Noviembre” through e-mails to different counter-information pages, specifying the explosive nature of the device, as well as directly linking the action to the commemoration of the death of Mauricio Morales in 2009 and the urgent campaign for the release of Marcelo Villarroel, imprisoned by the convictions of the Military Prosecutor’s Office.
It is also noted that this attack was carried out in coordination with the arson attack on the medialuna of the commune of Pedro Aguirre Cerda, by the Grupo de Respuesta Animal (Animal Response Group).

The attack of May 2022 is not the first against this enclosure, already at the end of April 2016 the Autonomous Fraction “Sole y Baleno” carried out an arson attack against the same Circle of Gendarmerie Officials in Retiro, generating considerable damages.

News from the bourgeois press: ~~Meganoticias~~

Claiming of explosive attack against the Gendarmerie Officers Circle in Retiro

“We arrive at our stop. We stop. The air is silent. A moment more, an instant. A wall, the floor, my hands, the bicycle, my partner, the stony street, the polluted city, the prison order, the night, the silence… Everything explodes”.

HOW THE PRISON BASTARDS TREMBLE!

In the framework of a new anniversary of the death of comrade Mauricio Morales Responding to the call of agitation for the coming out to the street of comrade Marcelo Villarroel

Through this email we claim responsibility for the bomb attack perpetrated in the early morning of Thursday, May 26, 2022 against the Circle of Officials of the Retired Gendarmerie (CIRGENCHI) located in José Toribio Medina #72, Brasil neighborhood, in the heart of downtown Santiago.

Rome, Italy: Incendiary attack on two Sirti vehicles by Some dedicated to the cult of fire

Posted on 2022/02/02 by darknights

Source: Inferno Urbano

We receive by anonymous mail and publish:

———-

Inspired by the attack of 28th August 2021, that took place in this city, we acted to set fire to two vehicles of the Sirti company during the night of December 16 .

Sirti S.p.A. is a company specialising in the design, implementation and maintenance of large telecommunications networks.

At the moment it is actively collaborating with Openfiber, the company set up by Enel and shared by Cassa Depositi and Prestiti whose purpose is the installation and management of the fibre optic network in Italy. This infrastructure is of fundamental importance for the technological implementation towards which society as a whole is racing under the impetus of the demands of growth of the capitalist economic system. This will affect the private lives of millions of individuals as well as public administrations, which will be ‘forced’ to adapt to the new European standards, and will also influence the competitiveness of companies as the Fourth Industrial Revolution approaches.

For us therefore attacking this company means to contrast the direct interests of capitalism at the dawn of its restructuring of production and consumption.

If we are writing these words it is to strengthen communication through anarchist action and the struggle against all power and specifically against the current phase of capitalist expansion consisting of the virtualisation of social interactions, ever more pervasive control, ever greater exploitation of workplaces and natural resources and the repression of anyone who publicly organises their opposition to all this.

Chile: Tiempo de Luchar #1. Febrero 2020

PDF: Tiempo de Luchar #1. Febrero 2020

Editorial (Translated from Spanish into English, publication only in Spanish)

Anti-prison solidarity and permanent anti-statism conflict

“Prisons are today, and always been, punishment weapons that the establishment uses against anyone putting at risk private property. The exploiters use repressive systems for this matter in order to carry on their privileges and keeping the order and laws they shelter on, their filthy status quo. (…) It is time to take action, on an everyday basis, along with our related comrades, for the destruction of the prison society and any social attempt to amend this filthy death system. Solidarity must never be an empty slogan, but an everyday action against the establishment and a constant support to our brothers and sisters kidnapped during this war to death”.
-Mauricio Morales, praxis anarchist.

Solidarity and action goes hand in hand, they are not empty words lost somewhere, and we forge a relationship with our imprisoned comrades on an everyday basis, a political and caring relationship that goes beyond the prison walls. This relationship is seen when we make actual support gestures, and when we feed into our rallying cry. These different gestures we make with numerous comrades inevitably crack the control systems that the establishment keeps against the prisoners. It is a milimetric crack, but it is crucial. It is known that the control and punishment imposed: the disastrous dynamics between some of the prisoners, coward wardens that lose their minds with a little bit of authority and forget that outside the prison they walk as we do. Anyway, it is necessary to keep on multiplying gestures, we are talking about visits, letters, assignments, propaganda, and action. We must get involved in the action for the anti-prison fight, know the resistance history of many of the fighters that here as well as in all around the globe, had left, and keep leaving their experiences as life lessons, since it is known that who are against the dominant social order and against the ruling class that allows this to carry on, and act against all of this: the prison, the underground movement, even death can knock our doors. This is why we must keep in mind the state maneuvers that may fall on the ones that decide to rebel against it. Continue reading “Chile: Tiempo de Luchar #1. Febrero 2020” →

Chile: Text by the anti-authoritarian prisoner Juan Flores Riquelme

Posted on 2022/01/08 - 2022/01/08 by darknights

“We twin ourselves with those who decide and embrace the intransigent attack, giving continuity to centuries of black action. We inherit the hatred of those who died wielding their guns, of those who fell throwing bombs.”

A new approach to irreducibility and insubordination.
A new wink to the nuclei and individualities in permanent conflict against the established order.
And to all those who recognize themselves as irreconcilable enemies of power!!!!
Beautifully close to each action against power the blows to its structures, henchmen and collaborators make us return again and again to our decisions always reaffirming them we continue betting for the total liberation and the autonomous action, which breaks the asphyxiating normality of this civilized society inside and outside the walls. Conspiracies and attacks charged with courage, revenge and solidarity. These days the henchmen who hold us hostage have traveled to us knowing that walking completely calm will not be possible even inside their prisons, giving us through these acts a little more oxygen in this adverse present, an accomplice smile. The aggravation of the conflict is still in full force in our lives, anxious to attack power, we continue to boldly defend the possibility of developing without obeying, even in their prisons.

The unbridled advance against all odds on the path of social war is the result of a life in rebellion, far from hesitations and immature perspectives…
Embracing our decision to fight and attack power even if the costs are high, we bet on the real confrontation against the capitalist system, assuming with coherence all the consequences in the course of this war.

“Those who decide to rebel against the misery implanted at birth know only two destinies: prison and death, we whisper a third option, THE ATTACK”.

I respond to the call of our brothers and sisters, those that I recognize as companions of ideas and practices, of life and death, I unfold my howl, which is sister to yours, we are from the same herd, we share a way of understanding and confronting the world of power.

Let us give life to something, something strong that inflames and destroys everything that is at the service of power and its bourgeoisie…something that avenges and removes the dominant countenance with all our rage, ensuring continuity, that the roar of chaos destroys the eardrums of every powerful person!!!!!

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie + Claim of “The Black Vengeance”

Posted on 2021/12/29 - 2021/12/29 by darknights

During the early morning of Monday, December 27, 2021, a loud bang shakes the center of the capital. An explosive device detonates against a window of the National Directorate of Gendarmerie, located on Rosas Street at the height of Teatinos.

GOPE personnel quickly arrived at the scene, and the South Prosecutor’s Office, which handles this type of crime, was present, entrusting the OS-9 and Labocar personnel with the investigation. According to the press, it was the Prosecutor’s Office itself which indicated the prohibition to inform and give more information. No pamphlets were found at the site.

Via email, the action is claimed by “La Negra Venganza”, which according to the text would be the same group that acted against a police station in 2020. The text details the use of industrial explosives, as well as ammunition in the explosive device, making an open call to expand this type of practice, to show solidarity with the prisoners and to expand the use of their name, and finally to greet other action groups.

***

Campaign of attack and revenge against the executioners. Act II

Explosive attack to the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile.

“In a highly self-critical manner, the solidarity actions that are undertaken are generally reactive. There are no actions that are rather offensive… We all know where the guys are, they are walking around in their uniforms, and they do it with total impunity. And we know that inside they are harassing the brothers and sisters, they are making them feel bad, they are humiliating them…”

Mauricio Morales

One year after our first action, as the group that we are, and after much study, tensions, proposals and reflections, we are back. We are back, we continue with the campaign we started some time ago.

We will go in the early morning of December 27, 2021 a few minutes before the clock strikes 3:00 a.m. (The time and day are always proposed, so that the attack in its entirety reaches our targets-enemies) To the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile. Located in Rosas street, downtown Santiago. Continue reading “Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the National Directorate of Gendarmerie + Claim of “The Black Vengeance”” →
