Italia: Proiezione di “To Kill a War Machine” su Palestine Action (Carrara, 11 gennaio 2026)

Posted on 2026/01/08 - 2026/01/08 by darknights

PROIEZIONE DI “TO KILL A WAR MACHINE” SU PALESTINE ACTION
(CARRARA, 11 GENNAIO 2026)

Proiezione di To Kill a War Machine su Palestine Action
Domenica 11 gennaio 2026

Ore 18:00. Proiezione del documentario To Kill a War Machine (2025) sull’attività di Palestine Action contro l’industria bellica nel Regno Unito.

Il percorso di Palestine Action e lo sciopero della fame attualmente in corso nelle carceri britanniche da parte degli aderenti al collettivo Prisoners for Palestine ci interrogano sulle prospettive e i limiti delle forme di attivismo contemporanee. Mentre gli Stati si attrezzano per la guerra e le condizioni di sopravvivenza qui da noi si fanno sempre più difficili, non è più rimandabile lo sviluppo delle lotte antimilitariste in una prospettiva antiautoritaria e internazionalista.

A seguire aperitivo a buffet.

325 #13: De vuelta a lo básico (Edición en español de la revista insurreccional 325)

Posted on 2025/12/29 - 2025/12/29 by darknights

DESCARGA LA EDICIÓN EN ESPAÑOL DE 325 #13 “De vuelta a lo básico”: https://archive.org/details/325-13-espanol + La portada

Hemos traducido el último número de la revista 325, un interesante y necesario proyecto insurreccional de contrainformación y análisis antiautoritario que merece seguir siendo difundido y discutido en más de un idioma y territorio. Alentamos su impresión, circulación y el debate que pueda generar sobre el curso actual de la realidad. La policía neerlandesa no pudo ponerle un fin definitivo en noviembre de 2020 a la revista 325, aún allanando los servidores noestate.net -que sostuvieron por años el sitio web- y de haber encarcelado por cuatro años a uno de sus colaboradores (el anarquista Toby Shone), el proyecto volvió hace algunos meses con la propuesta «De vuelta a lo básico», escribiendo una declaración de intenciones sobre la continuidad y urgencia de profundizar y revitalizar el análisis contra la maquinaria tecnológica.

Para lxs anarquistas y todxs aquellxs que se rehúsan a vivir en un mundo de relaciones algorítmicas y guerras automatizadas, de sensibilidades digitalizadas y horrores en nombre de la ciencia y el progreso, 325 reúne diversos materiales para comprender los elementos, capacidades y significados del entramado tecnológico e ideológico en sus múltiples dimensiones cognitivas y represivas (una lucha contra la singularidad de la IA, la totalización de la vigilancia, el control sobre la información, la apertura a nuevas lógicas de guerras… etc), una herramienta analítica considerada un peligro para el Estado y una plataforma que que pretende ser más información sediciosa: en sus páginas se busca comunicación, debate, redes que puedan transcender fronteras frente a un enemigo común que se perfecciona hacia el abismo del tecnomundo.

Alentamos su propagación,
saludxs compañerxs!

Back to Basics | De vuelta a lo básico

“Bienvenidxs a 325, un proyecto anárquico de contrainformación y acción directa. Esta publicación se ha producido desde la clandestinidad en varios países desde 2004. Son más de 20 años de crimen, antiprisionismo, anarquía, ritmos rebeldes, guerra social… En esas dos décadas hemos informado sobre la insurgencia urbana anarquista contra el capitalismo y el Estado; movilizaciones contra las cumbres, okupaciones autónomas, protestas ruidosas, campañas sociales y ecológicas; críticas al control tecnocrático, la gobernanza de los sistemas sociales y la civilización misma; informamos sobre la lucha contra la policía, las luchas de lxs presxs y la represión antipenitenciaria; efímeros caóticos clandestinos… Continue reading “325 #13: De vuelta a lo básico (Edición en español de la revista insurreccional 325)” →

Solidarity event in Derry for UK Palestine Action Hunger Strikers (Northern Ireland)

Posted on 2025/12/22 by darknights

Solidarity with Hunger Strikers at Free Derry this evening as several political prisoners have now entered their 48-day of action. Families of the two Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) hunger strikers, Patsy O’Hara and Mickey Devine, issued moving tributes in solidarity as many of those gathered held deep memories of those tragic days in Derry back in 1981.

Over the coming days, other solidarity actions are being planned locally as several of those hunger strikers edge closer to death. Calls for their immediate release and those of the Filton 24 have also been repeatedly made before this evenings action came to a close.

A member of the DAC commented afterwards, stating: “We are all too aware that this situation should not have been allowed to get to this stage. But as we know, only to well, the actions of the British State have once again attempted to crush a movement opposed to their military machine and its authoritarian regime. A grassroots movement that is fundamentally opposed to the unfolding terror and deliberate genocide on the people of Palestine. Many have taken to the streets, taken part in direct action, and have been forcibly silenced or unjustly imprisoned.

“The widespread solidarity shown here today to demand immediate humanitarian intervention to help bring an end the hunger strikes. To help bring an end to their unjust treatment of all of the prisoners involved, and to see their immediate release will continue to grow. They can not silence or imprison all of us, we are seeds!”

PDF: Imprisoned for Psychedelics – Interview with Toby Shone (UK)

Posted on 2025/12/22 - 2025/12/22 by darknights

PDF: Imprisoned for Psychedelics: Interview with Toby Shone

An interview recorded illegally by telephone between Toby Shone and the leading occultist and psychonaut Julian Vayne, with added vibes from chaos magickian Peter J Carroll. Recorded and transcribed when Toby was imprisoned in G4S Parc, South Wales, on 23hr lockdown.

The introduction is the transcript of a talk from prison that Toby gave at Ozora psy-trance festival in 2022. The interview was recorded by Julian in 2022, with the result that Jules was removed from Toby’s phone list on grounds of “national security” and “conveying an illegal recording outside of the prison”. This interview was thought so dangerous by the British regime that they tried to suppress it, silence Toby and stop solidarity to his case.

This pamphlet has been available in print format since 2023 and is now being released online.

A Basket of Thoughts – Italian Anarchist Massimo Passamani Solidarity With Hunger Strike

Posted on 2025/11/17 - 2025/11/17 by darknights

In the twilight zone of sorts I find myself in- neither free nor fully imprisoned – I have decided to give up my daily work release from prison for the next week, as a gesture of solidarity with the Palestine Action comrades on hunger strike in British prisons, a strike my friend and brother Stecco has also joined. I know that my staying in prison instead of going to work will not bother the prison administration in the least. But my message is not addressed to prison management – whom I have nothing to say to and nothing to ask of but to those who are fighting against the genocide of the Palestinian people, alongside its indomitable resistance.

What I can offer, along with this small gesture, is a basket of thoughts, a handful of words with which to express what is in my heart.

The strength that comes to me from British prisons which, in turn, reflects the tenacity of that resistance which Zionist prisons and administrative detention centers are unable to bow, despite the isolation, the torture, and the rapes has not only the form of a commonality of ethics and ideals, but also the intensity of the emotions I feel in reading the hunger strike statements.

Italy: Luca Dolce – Hunger strike in solidarity with UK prisoners and Palestinian resistance

Posted on 2025/11/12 by darknights

Yesterday, November 4th, I received news of the start of a hunger strike called by tens of political prisoners imprisoned in the United Kingdom for their struggles in solidarity with and for the liberation of Palestine.
In recent months, I read about comrade Teuta “T” Hoxha’s hunger strike, and was able to follow her story and that of comrades Casey Goonan and Malik Muhammad. I had time to ponder in case, as I expected, another chance presented itself to join a struggle which I feel an affinity for, which I feel deeply is my own.
The struggle against prison and the military techno-industrial system is essential for a struggle of broader scope, of revolutionary and internationalist resistance.
I am joining in the hunger strike, starting on November 8th, and will carry it out with an eye to the tactics and approach proposed by the comrades who initiated it. If it continues indefinitely, I will go on while paying attention to my body’s limits, deciding for myself whether and when to stop and continue the protest by other means.
I will take the time I need to share further thoughts as the protest continues. The reasons for this struggle, the actions for which these comrades are now imprisoned, speak for themselves.
I stand by their side with serenity and resolve.
Currently, I do not know whether the Palestinian comrade Anan Yaeesh, imprisoned in Melfi, is still on hunger strike. Regardless, my solidarity with him, Ali, and Mansour is vivid and strong.
With humility and respect, I close these lines by quoting the Kurdish comrade Sakîne Cansiz:
“On the other hand, facing the enemy on your own is also a special thing. Revolutionary will gathers in you. You can feel within yourself conviction, determination, the pure desire to fight. It is the most beautiful part of revolutionary struggle. Nothing distracts you, and you demolish the enemy with the strength of your personality. It is something to do with you, but also with the enemy’s image reflected in you. In your defense, it recognizes its impotence.”
