Santiago, Chile: Incendiary devices are deactivated in Medialuna NOS + pamphlet claiming “Grupo de Respuesta Animal”.

Posted on 2021/10/12 - 2021/10/12 by darknights

On Saturday, September 25, 2021 at the Medialuna* of the Valiant of NOS, located next to Route 5 South, in the commune of San Bernardo, some attendees found a suspicious device under the bleachers, calling GOPE personnel who quickly went to the site.

Specialized police personnel found two incendiary devices composed of plastic bottles filled with fuel, plus cables, batteries and a watch. After hours of work and the evacuation of 300 attendees, the GOPE managed to deactivate the device, indicating in the press that it was destined to be activated at 14:00hrs or in 14 hours (press versions are contradictory in this regard).

Pamphlets signed by “Grupo de Respuesta Animal” were found in the sector, rejecting the rodeo as an anthropocentric and speciesist expression.

The president of the Validiva de Paine Club, Manuel Meneses, told the press: “It hurts my heart to think that there is someone who wants to threaten the lives of our people, who are all Chileans (…) We found pamphlets threatening our rodeo and other activities. They say that it is the first of many to come and everything that has to do with the animal world, livestock, etc. They threaten everything that is not a threat. They threaten everything that is not vegan”. Continue reading “Santiago, Chile: Incendiary devices are deactivated in Medialuna NOS + pamphlet claiming “Grupo de Respuesta Animal”.” →

Santiago, Chile: Thoughts of Comrade Pablo Bahamondes Ortiz, “El Oso,” before the start of his trial

Posted on 2021/10/12 - 2021/10/12 by darknights

“…We choose to live on the edge of the abyss and not the ways of docile people who crawl around begging for power” (Excerpt from Célula Nihilista del Ocaso del Fuego. Argentina).

Via Enough Is Enough, Translated by Riot Turtle.

Three years have passed since my arrest, and after a series of legal attempts to hold court hearings in person, the courts refused this possibility without me being able to present a legitimate defense, so that I will only find myself in front of a screen to watch the absurd spectacle of judges, state prosecuters and police officers exercising their power to imprison me for as many years as possible.

“Not to trust, nothing to expect from the judiciary”

– Mónica Caballero

Staying upright in any possible scenario, recognizing oneself as a prisoner of war, remains the path to follow.

Emphasizing that there is nothing to explain or acknowledge to the state for this journey, taking up the struggle against this world of permanent misery.

There have been times of endless learning, there have been times of loneliness and companionship, times of making and building connections, in short… times that cannot be silenced and that certainly make you stronger than before.

I am not the only one, nor will we be the only ones here; many brothers and sisters have been here for quite some time, reflecting the continuity of the tireless struggle for total liberation. And so we have joined together in practice and discourse in the face of the various anti-prison issues, targeting the real enemies and establishing a bond of insurgent fraternity.

A warm hug to all who have shown active solidarity with the prisoners in various territories.

A complicit salute to our subversive and anarchist brothers and sisters for their mutual support.

The comrades Mónica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Luis Avaca, Ignacio Avaca, Marcelo Villarroel, Juan Aliste, Juan Flores and Joaquín García… ON THE STREETS!!!

May the subversive practice strengthen and spread the volumes of complicity!!!

Freedom for the subversive, anarchist prisoners, and prisoners of the revolt and the Mapuche!!!

Cancellation of the changes of Decree 321!!!

Destroy the prison society and its supporters!!!

Santiago, Chile: Transantiago bus set on fire in San Joaquín + Leaflets

Posted on 2021/10/03 by darknights

On Friday, September 10, 2021, about five anonymous individuals boarded the Transantiago bus on Vicuña Mackenna Avenue, in front of the San Joaquín campus of the Catholic University, to get off the driver and passengers.

Quickly the anonymous would have poured petrol and set fire to the public transport vehicle, at the same time that they threw leaflets demanding the freedom of the prisoners of the revolt and remembering one of those killed by the repression during the revolt.

No one was injured or arrested.

Anarchic and subversive words from Chilean prisons, in the framework of the international week for anarchist prisoners

Posted on 2021/09/01 - 2021/09/01 by darknights

Shouts of war; true sounds of freedom!!!

In this week of solidarity with the anarchist prisoners we make an open call to war, to continue and intensify the conflict against every expression of Power and to strengthen the bonds of affinity for combat among all the anti-authoritarian sectors that exist and walk common paths.

It is from this position that we remember comrades Sacco and Vanzetti as part of the broad sector of anarchic illegalism, who were called “the Galleanists”, who with bombs, expropriations and executions made the American soil tremble at the beginning of the last century. Supported by the creation and multiplication of affinity groups and violent action, the illegalists expanded anarchic ideas from the facts, understanding that word and action are inseparable.

Since then much water has passed under the bridge, many have been the deaths and many prisons have seen the passing of comrades who have proudly confronted Power from the place where it has been their lot to be, nevertheless the ideas that translate into affinity and action have endured and are those that today motivate us anarchists and subversives of the territory dominated by the Chilean State to continue the war from this confinement and in the streets, always bearing in mind the necessary harmony between prisoners and supportive and complicit environments that walk from the confrontation with the normality of the existing.

Santiago, $hile: Jornada conmemorativa a 23 de la muerte de la compañera Claudia López ES/EN

Posted on 2021/08/29 - 2021/08/29 by darknights

ES: Ni un minuto de silencio, toda una vida de combate
A 23 años del asesinato de Claudia López

Desde los rincones más inquietos de la memoria nos autoconvocamos, tanto compañerxs que conocimos a Claudia desde una fraternidad rebelde como también quienes, sin conocerla, nos reconocemos en su experiencia de vida y de lucha, para continuar con el combate al olvido, aportando a no dejar que la historia se escriba por si sola, a sumarnos a aquel torrente de recuerdos que ha decantado en praxis y resistencia, multiplicándose y expandiéndose a través de bibliotecas, centros sociales, actividades, okupas, combates callejeros, acciones, lienzos, afiches, murales y panfletos.

Esta vez desde nuestra mirada, desde nuestro recuerdo, con rabia y dolor, con nuestras derrotas parciales pero también con las victorias a cuestas, pretendemos levantar, lejos de las verdades incuestionables, un ejercicio/praxis de memoria y volver a recorrer los pasos que llevaron ese 11 de septiembre de 1998 a la compañera Claudia López, la chica Claudia, con sus 25 años, a caminar hasta la población La Pincoya donde dejo su vida en la calle, asesinada por balas policiales. Tiros avalados por un Estado siempre al servicio del capital y los poderosos. De estos hechos y de esta realidad no hay duda alguna, a pesar de las infamias periodísticas o maniobras jurídico-policiales.

Que la chica haya estado esa noche en la Pincoya no obedece a la casualidad o algún momentáneo impulso rebelde sino a una decisión y a un camino trazado desde hace años en luchas y enfrentamientos callejeros, tanto en universidades como en distintas poblaciones, de igual forma en su activa participación en coordinaciones combativas, aunando fuerzas entre distintas experiencias autónomas y de luchas antiestatales.

A lo largo de estos años mucho se ha comentado respecto a la militancia política de la compañera, ésta sin lugar a dudas no puede ser comprendida desde categorías únicas y determinantes, más aun cuando eran tiempos que a partir de un acertado cuestionamiento a un marxismo dogmático por parte de quienes apostaban por revitalizar una práctica ofensiva contra el poder y el capital, se genera un acercamiento entre tendencias de un marxismo revolucionario; el anticapitalismo y la autonomía, con el anarquismo. Es en ese espacio donde la Claudia se movía sin tranzar con medios tonos. Continue reading “Santiago, $hile: Jornada conmemorativa a 23 de la muerte de la compañera Claudia López ES/EN” →

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the company Sodexo + Claim by the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”

Posted on 2021/07/25 - 2021/07/25 by darknights

Missed from 01/06/2021

On May 11, at 9:00 p.m., unknown persons arrive on a bicycle at Pérez Valenzuela and Antonio Bellet, in the Providencia district, where a building of the SODEXO food concessionaire is located.

After leaving a suspicious package, they quickly escape, and a few minutes later there is a loud explosion that destroys part of the windows of the building.

GOPE, Labocar and the South Prosecutor’s Office arrived in the area to investigate the attack, which left no injuries, only material damage.

Claim of the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”.

OUR COMMON MINIMUM: INSURRECTIONAL ACTION

Since March 22 different subversive and anarchist prisoners have been on hunger strike to demand the repeal of Legislative Decree 321, the freedom of comrade Marcelo Villarroel and the prisoners of the revolt. In this scenario of anti-prison struggle we point out:

1. During the night of Black May 11 and prior to the curfew we detonated an explosive device in front of the SODEXO company for its responsibility in the daily misery that tortures thousands of prisoners in the prisons of the Chilean democracy. SODEXO is in charge of the concession of the prisons of Antofagasta, Iquique, La Serena, Rancagua and El Manzano. The joint work between Gendarmeria, the Chilean State-Police and private capital make up a triad that evidences the lucrative business of the prison-companies, annihilating the dignity of the prison population according to their economic interests and the social order of the rich and powerful.

2. We affectionately salute the comrades who carried out a hunger strike for 50 days, demonstrating that the combative prison is a tool of resistance to prison submission, while spreading the germ of action in the streets. It is vital to maintain a rhythm of combat that accompanies the processes of intra-prison mobilization, understanding that the struggle for the liberation of our prisoners and their conditions of confinement is a long and relentless one.

3. In a context of police and military control the attack is possible, it only depends on our will and will to fight. In this sense, the discourse that all revolutionary action is assembly only affects the fighting spirit of those who organize and stand up with dignity against the enemy, devaluing a history of struggle that advances with hundreds of comrades imprisoned, wounded and dead. If we do not believe in our capacities the construction of a new world will only be a chimera, we call to organize the attack in all territories and realities.

4. In this Black May we remember our comrade Mauricio Morales who 12 years ago died in action trying to attack the Gendarmerie School. The memory is kept burning in the streets and in the multiform action, only those who forget die.

WE CELEBRATE THE OFFENSIVE AND SABOTAGE IN THE WALLMAPU!
WE SALUTE THE REVOLT IN THE COLOMBIAN TERRITORY!
TO RETAKE THE STREETS TO CRUSH THE ENEMY AND REFORMISM!
THIS WEEKEND TO VOTE IS TO VALIDATE THE PACT OF THE POLITICAL CLASS AND TO
TO BARGAIN ON THE SPILLED BLOOD!

By anarchy we will win, in autonomy we will live.

Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira

NOTE: The 15 years old anarkopunk comrade Nicolás Neira dies after being hit by a tear gas bomb fired by the ESMAD police during the May 1st clashes in Colombia.
