Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for breaking of windows at a store of Sklavenitis & the town hall in Kaisariani

Posted on 2023/01/24 by darknights

On Friday 13/01 we chose to attack the store of Sklavenitis and the town hall in Kaisariani causing material damage to the facades of the buildings.

The bloodthirsty bosses are transferring the crisis of capital onto the shoulders of our class. The more they oppress us, the richer they get. The bleeding of our lives, working every day in miserable conditions and not knowing if we will make it through the month with rents, electricity, water and supermarket prices skyrocketing, fills us with rage.

The state sends its minions to murder Roma for 20 euros and evict us from our homes for debts of a few hundred euros. The same, following in the footsteps of other European countries, is passing the new prison code, which makes the lives of prisoners even more miserable. At the same time we see that the resistance of the prisoners to this policy is being fought by the state with revengeful transfers, such as those of Th. Chatziangelou and K. Dimalexis. The state apparatus is heading towards murder and aims at the extermination of the comrades. Their apparent indifference to Th. Chatziangelou, who was on hunger and thirst strike since 19/12, while now (on the day of writing) he continues his hunger strike, was only a choice of theirs. His fraudulent transfer to the Korydallos hospital does not fool us and we know that it is a tactic for our complacency and not a retreat.

The attempt to silence and weaken insurrectionary, anti-authoritarian movements is a standard tactic of the state. Our response must be forceful and unyielding. We will not allow ourselves to be oppressed and robbed of our lives for the self-preservation of states and capital that work against us.

STATE AND CAPITAL THE ONLY TERRORISTS

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the ambush on the DIAS group in the area of Zografou

Posted on 2023/01/19 by darknights

FEAR CHANGES SIDE

On Thursday night 12/1 we organized and carried out an ambush against cops of the DIAS group in the area of Zografou. The way the ambush was set up and the intensity of the attack we carried out, resulted in the serious injury of a cop and the total destruction of a motorbike -only this one arrived at the scene- of this particular group. The high strength of firepower used was proportional to the impunity of this group, which already counts 2 murdered Roma in the last 16 months and dozens of incidents of “police arbitrariness”. This was a powerful response to the crescendo of police repression orchestrated by the New Democracy government, which has given the police force free rein to beat, torture and shoot in cold blood, knowing that none of them will be punished and their crimes will be covered up by the lies of journalists, the impunity of the bourgeois justice system and the cover of the political leadership.

We say to the cops in the ranks and to their superiors. For the wanton violence you have used, we will punish you with our own hands. Your colleague’s cries of despair are proof of your weakness when faced with organized forces of revolutionary violence. Panic, pain, fear, insecurity, these are the emotions we offered you during the ambush against you. Draw your conclusions from them because your sense of omnipotence ended with a bang in a dead end at Zografou. With this action we want to pass the message that with organization, planning and discipline we can hit the forces of repression by causing fear and material costs to both animate and inanimate material.

The law and order doctrine that the New Democracy government has been applying since the first moment of its election has left behind dead, wounded, tortured and raped. The constant impunity of the cops is not an accidental fact but the essence of this doctrine. The last link in a huge chain of incidents is the cold-blooded execution of the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis, because he ‘dared’ not to pay 20 euros for petrol.

Rome, Italy: ‘Being where they don’t expect.’ Claim of the arson attack against twenty-five Hertz vehicles, Greek police and their collaborators, in solidarity with anarchists on hunger strike and all anarchist and rebel prisoners worldwide

Posted on 2023/01/04 - 2023/01/04 by darknights

BE WHERE THEY DON’T EXPECT – ROME JANUARY 1 – 25 HERTZ VEHICLES SET ON FIRE

During the 1st night of the year we left flammable material and lit the triggers on ten HERTZ car rental vehicles parked along the Appia Nuova. According to media reports a total of 25 vehicles including cars and vans were devoured by flames.

Hertz collaborates with the Greek police by supplying them with vehicles at bargain prices thereby making itself complicit in the often murderous repressive violence that it exercises on a daily basis to protect the economic and political elites that dominate through the Greek state. On December 5 just past, on the very day before the anniversary of the death of the young anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos, a policeman shot and killed a 16-year-old member of the local Roma community, Kostas Fragoulis, in Thessaloniki. The same had happened the previous year. The Greek police are responsible not only for the repression of the anarchist movement active in that country, but also for continuous violence through harassment, beatings, rape (a recent case occurred in a barracks in Athens) and murders against the poorest and most marginalized components of the population, as well as anyone who tries to organize to defend themselves against the systemic violence of capitalism, confirming themselves as the state organ predisposed to disciplining the exploited and oppressed. That is why anyone who collaborates with this institution is to be regarded as an enemy of anyone who fights for the freedom and self-determination of peoples in an internationalist logic, and treated accordingly. For these reasons we attacked Hertz in Rome and will continue to do so at every opportunity. We call through this action on Hertz, since we cannot appeal to any arguments and ethics since the only reasonable value and argument for this company is evidently profit and economic growth, to stop any cooperation with the Greek police, otherwise the losses caused by international anarchist solidarity could be greater than the profits…

With this gesture we want to send a message of closeness and solidarity to:

Thanos Chatziangelou, on hunger and thirst strike since December 19 in Nigrita Prison to demand explanations about his punitive transfer from Korydallos Prison;

to Alfredo Cospito, on hunger strike since Oct. 20 against the 41bis regime to which he has been subjected since May 2022 and the hostile life sentence;

to Ivan Alocco, again on hunger strike since Dec. 22 in solidarity with Alfredo, imprisoned in France being accused of several arson attacks against diplomatic and company cars;

to Juan and Anna; to Rupert recently arrested for accumulated sentences; and to Massimo, whose house arrest has been confirmed;

to Toby Shone forced into British jails and who will be subjected to particularly restrictive measures because of his claimed anarchism;

to all anarchist and rebel prisoners in the world;

to all those anarchists of action who stubbornly continue to risk their freedom to chase the craziest of dreams. Forward comrades! Our hearts beat in unison despite miles separating us!

Our comrades on strike instill in us determination. This is not the time of despair and resignation for us, this is the time of conscious anger that arms our will to act.

BANISH HESITATION – THIS IS THE TIME TO ATTACK!

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY – CREATE 10 100 1000 DIRECT ACTION GROUPS!

BE WHERE THEY ARE NOT EXPECTED – BECOME DANGEROUS!

ALEXIS LIVES IN OUR EVERY ACTION! ETERNAL REVENGE!

MAY A BLACK JANUARY COME!

ALWAYS FOR ANARCHY!

Hamburg, Germany: Solidarity attack against HERTZ. Claiming the incendiary attack on the HERTZ headquarters in the Wandsbek district, against the Hellenic police and the government of Nea Demokratia, in solidarity with the anarchists on hunger strike

Posted on 2022/12/12 by darknights

Hamburg: solidarity attack on HERTZ

The next racist murder attempt of the Greek cops, but also the ongoing hunger strike of the anarchists in Italy have motivated us to attack HERTZ as a supporter of the Greek cops and thus of the racist and neoliberal Nea-Demokratia regime.At the branch in Hamburg Wandsbek we set fire to the building.

Not only in Greece HERTZ offers favorable conditions for the uniformed executioners, but also for example in the USA.
Not only the shot in the back of the head of Costas Fragoulis in Thessaloniki is an expression of the racist violence that is the order of the day in Greece. There are daily pushbacks and assaults against people fleeing at the borders. In the camps and deportation jails, it becomes clear again and again what Europe’s closure against refugees means: brutal, inhuman violence that the Greek state and other European security agencies use without scruples.
At the same time, places of rebellion and migrant self-organization are repeatedly attacked in Greece: recently the Prosfygika Squat in Athens, but also many other squats and projects face constant attacks.

Solidarity with those detained in defense of Prosfygika!

Strength to the revolt of Roma and others who are rising up as a result of the shooting of Costas!

Combatative greetings to the hunger strikers in Italian prisons who fight against the solitary confinement system 41bis – freedom for Alfredo and all others!

Victory to the revolution in Iran!

Xanthi, Greece: Responsibility claim for attack on Piraeus Bank ATM

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Another state murderous attack, just one day before December 6, when cops murdered 15-year-old student Alexis Grigoropoulos. The 16-year-old Roma, Kostas Fragoulis, was shot in the head by cops over 20 euros of unpaid petrol. Our anger will drown you!

Late in the evening of 6 December we caused material damage to the Piraeus Bank ATM in V.Konstantinou as a minimal expression of anger against the murdering state. It is clear that any targeting of a bank is a legitimate and honest act, since they, committed to capitalism and its perpetuation, suck the blood of people all over the earth. As long as we remain inactive in the war we are currently living through, we will be complicit in the rot.

Greece: ’14 years later the only thing that has changed is the bullet in the chamber’ – Thanos Chatziangelou

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

Dawn of December 5th

Thessaloniki

Simmachiki Street

Uniformed bastards of the DI.AS. chase a vehicle that does not stop at their signal. They shoot the driver who has left a gas station without paying the price. A bullet is lodged in the head and the driver loses control of the vehicle. The result? Kostas Fragoulis a 16 year old kid in intensive care from a cop’s bullet to the head.

Scum Snitch Journalists

Before the truth about the event has even come to light, police reporters have begun to weave the dominant narrative. The journalistic vagrancy is talking about a maniacal driver who rammed a police vehicle to get away from the chase. It is the compounded lie that as another truth will give extenuating circumstances to the thug of the DI.AS. In the same way that the uniformed scum in Perama were exonerated. The journalistic sycophants, bloodthirsty in the arena of spectacle, constitute the state narrative that adorns the prestige of the criminal nature of tyranny.

When the state murdered the 15-year-old anarchist comrade Alexandros Grigoropoulos, the media saw vandalism and riots. When the battalions of Chrysochoidis executed comrade Lambros Fountas, the terror panels of Lambropoulos and Souliotis spoke of an Albanian thug. In Perama 38 bullets in the body of Nikos Sampanis shielded the self-defence of the motorized assault battalions of the DI.AS. And when the lie does not overshadow the truth, they bury it by overemphasizing it in the next main news story, just as they buried the murder of 16-year-old Michalis in Ditika, when he was swept away by a police service vehicle. Today the authoritarian subjectivity of the armed journalistic pen is pitted against the same bloody truth over and over again. A 16-year-old kid in intensive care from a cop’s bullet to the head.

Athens, Greece: ‘Why burn SPEEDEX?’, Claim for arson attack on vehicles of SPEEDEX by ‘Anarchist Threat’

Posted on 2022/12/08 by darknights

We take responsibility for the arson of vehicles (vans/trucks) that were outside the SPEEDEX store in Botanico on the morning of November 27.

With this text we do not wish to present a bulletin of analysis of the daily misery but we want it to be part of the promotional insurrectionary material. The attack on the capitalist mechanism and its little pieces of shit is at a crucial point since we are reaching again a socio-political, economic crisis that comes to neutralize with precision, the increasing impoverishment, unemployment, high rents, repression, the bottom-up. In this dystopian present the judicial ”greatness” hand in hand with the politicians and all kinds of state self-immolators bail out and acquit rapists, murderers (see Korkoneas/Zack case) while imprisoning, convicting and repressing struggling and marginalized people. The tragedy of the reality we live in has no end and everyone is quietly watching as uninvolved spectators, ‘rebelling’ media-wise (We will not make our criticism of these individuals who maintain and perpetuate a liberal democratic world in this text).

We dedicate this action to the courier delivery workers who in the Covid years experienced a unique labour misery, carrying on their backs the insane needs of all the petty bourgeois and non, who in an effort not to be bored, ignoring the possibility of breaking the measures and working conditions in the sweatshops of the Hellenic Post, General Postal Services, ACS, followed to the letter the dictates of the capitalist system: CONSUME-CONSUME-CONSUME. In an empty city for 1.5 years the courier company vans and deliverymen flooded the city streets accepting the social anger of ‘late parcels’. Social cannibalism at its best and the bosses rubbing their hands. Taking the example of the struggle of the SVEOD and the distributors against e-food, we have to harshly criticize the apathy, victimization and lack of organization of the rest of the workers against the bosses and the state that year after year are gaining ground in labor. Take it back by force.

We dedicate the attack also to the 11 Turkish militants and comrade Alfredo Cospito who are on hunger strike and to all the comrades who are on hunger strike in solidarity with Cospito. Through this action we send fiery signals of solidarity to all political prisoners of the world.

Solidarity to the recently imprisoned comrades K., Panagiotis B., Lambros B.

P.S.1.: At the time of writing this text we are flooded with rage at the murderous attack of the uniformed bastards against the 16 year old Roma boy.

P.S.2: Don’t worry, everything will be answered in turn.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Molotov attack on riot cops & riot during the 6th December, anniversary of the killing of Alexis Grigoropoulos

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

Extensive attacks on the riot cops in the center of Thessaloniki after the march for Alexandros Grigoropoulos who was killed by cops in 2008, turned into a riot on 6th Decemeber. Beginning 5th December, there have been extensive riots in Athens and Thessaloniki, protests in many towns around the country, after the shooting in the head of 16 year old Roma kid Kostas Fragoulis. At the same time, the Roma communities in the suburbs of Thessaloniki, Athens and other towns are rising up, fighting with the cops out side the hospital Kostas is being treated in, even outside the court where the cop murderer appeared. Barricades built of burning tyres and vehicles have been erected in their neighborhoods. In Ioannina a cop station was attacked during a protest, in Volos the ruling party New Democracy had its local HQ destroyed, in a Athens metro station a cop was cornered and had to be rescued by the scum of the OPKE special unit, that are also being used to attempt to put down the riots in the Roma areas. Spontaneous attacks are increasing, while the Roma are calling for an insurrection and further protests are planned outside the court and hospital.

Nothing is over, everything continues…

Volos, Greece: Responsibility claim for the breaking of the New Democracy headquarters during the 6th December march.

Posted on 2022/12/08 - 2022/12/08 by darknights

During today’s march, a political intervention took place, specifically breaking into the offices of the New Democracy Party. We broke the glass entrance, then went up to the 2nd floor, broke the door and threw white paint.

The above action took place on the occasion of the attempted state murder of 16-year-old K. Fragoulis on the eve of December 6, the boiler room explosion that led to the death of a student in a primary school in Serres and the provocative attitude of the Prime Minister who praised the cops with 600 euros.

Greece: Scenes from the riot in Exarcheia after a 16-year-old kid was shot in the head by cops in Thessaloniki

Posted on 2022/12/06 - 2022/12/06 by darknights

 

Dec 5, 2022

It was during the early hours of Monday 5 December 2022, when a 16 year old kid was shot in the head by a greek police officer of the DIAS motorcycle unit during a car chase in Thessaloniki.

He was accused that he filled his pick-up truck with 20 euros worth of petrol and left the petrol station without paying. Following the news and his dire physical condition, riots erupted in the city of Thessaloniki, located in the north of Greece, later on the same day. At the same time, in Athens, several different protests were held in the evening of December the 5th. The protest in Exarcheia, held in front of the memorial of Alexis Grigoropoulos, (a 15 year old kid that was shot dead by a cop on 6 December 2008, sparking the events that would lead to massive riots all over Greece, known as the December Revolt) soon turned into a march that led to a riot, as seen in the video.

It has to be noted, that today 6 December, protests have been planned in dozens of cities and towns all over Greece, in remembrance of the December Revolt and the murder of Alexandros Grigoropoulos by the police in Exarcheia 15 years ago to this day.
