Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary attack on a bank in solidarity with anarchists Thanos Chatziangelou & Alfredo Cospito

Posted on 2023/01/19 by darknights

Because we’re the ones who hang out at night, conspire in our meetings and constantly think of ways to act. When we are hit, we have an obligation to make our presence felt, to show a signal of resistance, to give a breath of life to what we call solidarity.

We are hit in many ways, at work where the need to survive is exploited, on the street where a person may think a person is vulnerable and become abusive or an immigrant is dangerous and let out their racist rant, in the marches with the mats attacking, but we have shown that we have aggressive characteristics too and we will be confronted, in our social and political spaces where the power with the bullshitocracy thinks it will suppress us. But we will not let that happen.

We experience violence in various forms every day, we have learned to resist through our relationships, collectively and individually we are determined and we will win.

The road to anarchy is rough, if it doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow, if you and I don’t see it, the next ones will see it, but we will not give up, that is the only certainty.

And when one is imprisoned, that is when one is confronted with power in all its glory, that is when the system thinks it has a victory to show its masters. But no. Because inside and outside the walls that separate us we continue to act. For each other, we are side by side, fighting to change what oppresses us, what we will no longer tolerate.

With all our strength, thought and patience, we never lose the appetite to come back, to challenge the existing that you have turned into a giant prison of fear and repression.

We have sharpened our blades to cut the chains you are passing through our bodies.

As a minimal sign of solidarity with imprisoned comrades on Thursday 29/12 at dawn we placed an incendiary device in a bank in Martiou Street in Thessaloniki.

STRENGTH AND GOOD RECOVERY TO THE ANARCHIST FIGHTER THANOS CHATZIANGELOU

Thessaloniki, Greece: Responsibility claim for solidarity attack on stores with the anarchist hunger/thirst strike of Thanos Chatziangelou

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

Lately the state has been intensifying social misery and repression while at the same time sharpening class barriers, making survival a luxury. It is trying to impose total social control over every aspect of our lives, thus reinforcing its counterinsurgency policy. One of the social groups that experience this control to the greatest extent is the prisoners, being a subject completely cut off and stigmatized from the rest of society, thus becoming the perfect breeding ground for the harshest state policies.

Thus, on 28/10 the new penal code is passed which, among other things, includes the tightening of the conditions of leave and conditional dismissal, tightening of disciplinary procedures, extending the detention time of those accused of criminal-terrorist organizations, robberies or drugs, reintroducing type C prisons as ” Maximum Security Prisons ” and the prohibition of transfer to rural prisons. In this way, the regime of exclusion experienced by political prisoners is deepened while at the same time it is extended to other categories of crimes, increasing the time of incarceration of those who fall into this category. Immediately after the passing of the bill, mobilizations against it started in many prisons throughout Greece, with the participation of many criminal and political prisoners.

Thanos Chatziangelou actively participated in the above mobilizations and was quickly targeted by the state, culminating in his vindictive transfer to Nigrita prison on 19/12, as happened a few days later with Kostas Dimalexis who was transferred to Trikala prison. The purpose of these transfers is to remove the militants, who have not stopped opposing their oppressors, from the communities of struggle they had created. Thanos’ response was immediate, starting a hunger and thirst strike on 19/12 demanding the disclosure of the reason for his transfer and his return to Korydallos prison.

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!

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.

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…

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.

Thessaloniki, Greece: Stickers 2022 – Anarchist Hangout Nadir

Posted on 2022/11/26 - 2022/11/26 by darknights

Excuse the chaos.
It’s an order you don’t understand.

Les autres suivaient sans y penser, les chemins appris une fois pour toute vers leur travail et leur maison, vers leur avenir previsible.
Pour eux deja, le devoir etait devenu une habitude, et l’habitude un devoir.
Ils ne voyaient pas insuffisance de leur ville, ils croyaient naturelle l’insuffisance de leur vie.
Nous voulions sortir de ce conditionnement, a la recherche d’un autre emploi de paysage urbain, de passions nouvelles.

(The others followed without thinking about it, the paths they had learned once and for all to their work and home, to their predictable future.
For them, duty had already become a habit, and habit a duty.
They did not see the inadequacy of their city, they believed in the natural inadequacy of their life.
We wanted to get out of this conditioning, to look for another way in the cityscape, for new passions.)
