Letter writing + Talk with Toby Shone for the International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners – BASE Bristol

Sunday 31 August 2025

BASE Bristol – Easton – 14 Robertson Road – BS5 6JY

18:00 Food
19:00 Talk

The International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners[1] takes place every year between 23-30 August to commemorate the murders of the Haymarket martyrs in Chicago, 1886, who died for freedom, labour rights and dignity.

This year at BASE we’re holding a fund-raising dinner and letter writing event along with a talk by ex-prisoner Toby Shone, who will speak about the international week, the background of Operation Adream*, his own prison experience and the importance of solidarity, as well as the continual need for revolutionary action.

Two years since Toby was snatched[2] for attending an International Week of Solidarity with Anarchist Prisoners letter writing event at BASE, he’s back. The Counter Terror Police South-West and the National Security Division couldn’t keep our comrade out of our arms for long.

Too many anarchists and activists remain behind bars. Everywhere the authorities are cracking down against dissent and protest. When freedom is outlawed, only outlaws will be free! Come and sign cards, write
letters and learn about the anti-prison struggle and the cases of imprisoned anarchists.

Don’t forget about those in prison and if you want to take part, you can show up for a solidarity banner photograph (bring a mask!) after the event, so we can send it to prisoners. Vegan food. Fundraiser for the Anarchist Defence Fund[3].

If Solidarity is Terrorism Then We Are All Terrorists!

Fire to the Prisons!

ANTI-POLITICAL  ★  INDIVIDUAL REVOLT  ★  INFORMAL ORGANISATION  ★  ATTACK

London is a disneyland for the world’s dominators. The scientific and economic elites and their armies of technicians rule here unopposed – without having to fight against any idea which could challenge the foundations of this society. For this reason, they are free to use this city as a stable base to plan, launch, and profit from one-sided slaughters which subdue the lands where ‘critical resources’ are to be found, whether in Congo (cobalt), Yemen (Saudi oil fields) or Gaza and the West Bank (water and land).

But London is not spared from the relentless sacrifice of life to the economy. The bosses and their enforcers have us exactly where they want us: our time and life sucked dry in forced pointless activity called work and school, made sick by toxic materials in order to sustain addiction to useless objects. This city of exploitation and control is an endless ‘opportunity’ for anyone with money and power and an upgraded, high-tech hell for the rest of us.

The latest ‘upgrade’ here in south London is the proposal to expand the tube network of hyper-speed exploitation down the Old Kent Road to Lewisham – a dirty deal between TFL and finance capital which is already yielding luxury developments, springing up like a rash. Rent, energy, food-price hikes which sow desperation and abject dependence on charity… The oppression of passing the days in mouldy, pest-ridden, flood-prone, flammable boxes… Limitless police-state controls on the neighbourhoods… These are just a few of the attacks being deployed.

Not everyone wants to accommodate themselves, fit in, bow their heads, conform to all this. And among those who want to fight back, not everyone wants to put their trust in political parties, trade unions, pressure groups, activists, university career-critics, community leaders, official organisations, federations, large social movements.

Some make the choice of individual revolt which can spread. These ideas and acts of rebellion have nothing to say to those in power, but instead speak directly to raging hearts. Each one in struggle to unleash their own freedom, breathing life into a self-organised struggle for the freedom of all.

This is what we want to explore in the South London Anarchist Bookfair – with discussions and publications, delving into ideas which are outside of time, outside of measure and popularity, out of control. We want to share and explore our choices in the struggle against power in all its disguises, here and now.

Fundraiser: Support Bristol Defendant Solidarity – UK

Posted on 2025/06/26 - 2025/06/26 by darknights

Bristol Defendant Solidarity (BDS) is calling for your support and solidarity in a crucial time of need.

https://chuffed.org/project/bds

For years, BDS has been a steadfast ally to those battling with the legal system due to their involvement in protest, resistance, and direct action. We also support those who have been arrested and targeted by violent, discriminatory policing or suffered other state repression.

Over the past few years, we’ve supported almost 100 people targeted following the ‘Kill the Bill’ demonstration on 21st March 2021. The community’s response was phenomenal: your support and donations have been a powerful display of collective defiance and solidarity. But we still need your help to enable us to provide consistent, ongoing and meaningful support to many defendants facing state retribution.

Four years on, the repression remains relentless. So too must our solidarity. KTB defendants are still facing court cases and serving lengthy sentences, while the police enjoy their impunity. Continue reading “Fundraiser: Support Bristol Defendant Solidarity – UK” →

Bristol, UK: CCTV cameras and solar panels destroyed at GRC Security protected site

Posted on 2025/05/02 - 2025/04/30 by darknights

28th April 2025

We chose a soft target, a warm up to bigger things. Easy like throwing a dart into a grapefruit!

Around Bristol G.R.C. Security (now linked to Cava Security) have been pissing off travellers for quite a few years, carrying out common law evictions, using their bulk weight violence, the law and threats of fire. So one place they guard and partol is the old mounted police and dog section, now owned by the Caravan Club, which is situated on Clanage Rd., Bower, Ashton at the foot of the Clifton suspension bridge. It was really easy to scale the perimeter fence with identity concealed, then finding a long plank of wood to batter the CCTV cameras and solar panels.

Also a little dickie bird whispered on the ‘grapefruit’ vine that at the Brandon Hill ‘old’ cop shop eviction one of Cava Security’s vehicles lost some air from their tyres. Keep your eyes open for those dart boards!

Long Live Vandalism!

Bristol, UK: Windows smashed of BAM construction offices

Posted on 2025/02/17 - 2025/02/18 by darknights

Received by email & transmitted:

Bristol, UK: Windows smashed of BAM construction offices

On 16th February we decided instead of partaking in the vomit enducing show of ‘romantic capitalism’ to break the windows of BAM construction in Stoke Gifford, Bristol.

BAM construction are one of the biggest construction companies internationally, who contribute to the Leviathan nightmare. We’re sick of seeing their lifeless glass and concrete buildings everywhere, there’s nothing wild and natural about these smart cityscapes.

BAM have their artificial hands on nearly every construction project you can name. Our minds cast back to their involvement in the construction of a ‘humane prison’ Dedermonde in Belgium. More locally they built the new Engineering building at the University of West England that contains its new robotics lab & they are also responsible for helping to construct the new ‘Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone.’ Another brick in the transformation of Bristol into a silicon valley of the UK, where technological and scientific startups along with hubs will be let to reign free. If this wasn’t enough BAM have been chosen as one of the key partners for the ‘UK Small Modular Reactors (SMR) Programme’. We laugh cynically at the idea that the UK state is implementing a net zero carbon target or even tackling climate change with this charade that shows ‘green capitalism’ is an absolute lie, just a displacement of ecological destruction elsewhere, whether it is the lithium extraction plant in Cornwall or nuclear waste from these mini Fukushimas. Clean power our arses!

“Leviathan is turning into Narcissus, admiring its own synthetic image in
its own synthetic pond, enraptured by its spectacle of itself.
It is a good time for people to let go of its sanity, its masks and
armors, and go mad, for they are already being ejected from its pretty
polis.”

ABC Brighton presents

A talk by former anarchist prisoner Toby Shone on Operation Adream & UK prison conditions

Operation Adream: An attempt by the security services to criminalise anarchist praxis and anarchists themselves by equating anarchism with terrorism and using the judicial imposition of “Serious Organised Crime Prevention Orders” on individual anarchists to hamper their meeting and organising.

POSTER : REBELLION IS THE EXPLOSIVE URGENCY OF PUTTING OURSELVES ON THE LINE (LONDON,UK)

Posted on 2024/12/09 by darknights

        pdf:

OBEDIENCE IS A PROGRAMMED, ORDERED EXISTENCE

REBELLION IS THE EXPLOSIVE URGENCY OF PUTTING OURSELVES ON THE LINE

An untimely blast in an Athens apartment on the 31st of October left an anarchist dead and another seriously wounded. In a millisecond the preparation of a single liberatory attack on one aspect of domination expands into a wide panorama of the social war.

With a resounding blast the struggle is upturned, its hitherto anonymous players thrown into the forefront of the clash. Shock and anguish invade our hearts and minds for the death of Kyriakos Xymitiris and the wounding of Marianna Manoura – well-known, esteemed comrades active in the many-faceted anarchist struggle in Greece and beyond – but so does resolve and unwavering complicity. Immediately an alchemy of rebel love and defiance surges forth, overrunning the borders by which states segment their control over this ruined earth.

North Wales, UK: Daniel Andreas San Diego arrested by counter-terrorist cops, wanted by the FBI in connection with two animal liberation related bombings in San Francisco in 2003.

Posted on 2024/11/27 - 2024/11/27 by darknights

Daniel Andreas San Diego has been wanted by the FBI in connection with two bombings which took place in San Francisco in 2003 claimed by Revolutionary Cells – Animal Liberation Brigade, simliar to the Animal Rights Militia in the UK, that ignores the Animal Liberation Front’s policy of taking all necessary precautions to avoid harm to human life. The two bombs were placed at the offices of biotechnology corporation Chiron Inc. in Emeryville, California, in August 2003. The first bomb detonated early in the morning, while the second, which was set to detonate an hour after the initial blast, was found and defused before it went off. Chiron Inc. was targetted for its links to Huntingdon Life Sciences (now Inotiv), the animal torturers and killers who were targetted by the Animal Liberation Front (A.L.F.) and campaigned against by Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC).

A month later, another bomb filled with nails went off at a nutritional products corporation, Shaklee Corporation, which makes nutritional supplements and eco-friendly shampoos and lotions – in Pleasanton, Calififornia. Nobody was killed or injured in the blast. It was targeted because its parent company, Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical, who does/did business also with HLS.

Communique of the Revolutionary Cells – Animal Liberation Brigade bomb attack on Shaklee :

“On the night of September 25th volunteers from the Revolutionary Cells attacked a subsidiary of a notorious HLS client, Yamanouchi. We left an approximately 10lb ammonium nitrate bomb strapped with nails outside of Shaklee Inc, whose CEO is both the CEO for Shaklee and Yamanouchi Consumer Inc. We gave all of the customers the chance, the choice, to withdraw their business from HLS. Now you all will have to reap what you have sown. All customers and their families are considered legitimate targets.

Hey Sean Lance, and the rest of the Chiron team, how are you sleeping? You never know when your house, your car even, might go boom. Who knows, that new car in the parking lot may be packed with explosives. Or maybe it will be a shot in the dark.

We have given all of the collaborators a chance to withdraw from their relations from HLS. We will now be doubling the size of every device we make. Today it is 10lbs, tomorrow 20….until your buildings are nothing more than rubble. It is time for this war to truely have two sides. No more will all of the killing be done by the oppressors, now the oppressed will strike back. We will be non-violent when the these people are non-violent to the animal nations.

In memory of all of those fallen before us in the war for liberation: Jill Phipps (animal activist), Barry Horne (ALF), Olaia Kastresana (ETA), Arkaitz Otazua (ETA), Angayarkanni (LTTE), Babu (LTTE), Bobby Sands (IRA), Patsy O’Hara (INLA), Carlos Guiliani (anti-globilization martyr), Lee Kyung-hae (farmer and anti-globablization victim), and many more on numerous other fronts. We won’t forget you, we won’t let your deaths be in vain.

Gora Euskadi Ta Askatasuna!
Up the Real IRA!
Long live the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine!
Viva La Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia!
Long live the Frontu Di Liberazione Naziunalista Corsu!
For the creation of Revolutionary Cells!
For Humyn, Earth & Animal Liberation!

Bringing the bomb and the bullet back into amerikan politics, Revolutionary
Cells –animal liberation brigade

—-

The revolutionary cells exists as a front group for militants across the liberationary movement spectrum. We are anarchists, communists, anti-racists, animal liberationists, earth liberationists, luddites, feminists, queer liberationists, and many more things across various other fronts. Where ever there is oppression there are those unwilling to idly stand by and let it occur, and those people make up the nucleus of the revolutionary cells.

Who are the revolutionary cells? It is an anti-gmo activist destroying a gmo crop, it is a basque youth driving a car packed with explosives destined for a spanish politician, it is a queer bashing back, a rape victim putting a bullet in the rapist, a corsican nationalist planting a bomb at a french bank, it is a cincinatti riot in response to police brutality, an animal liberationist shooting a vivisector dead on his doorstep. In short it is the spirit of resistance realized. It is moving from politics to praxis.

Anyone who takes part in the war against the oppressive heirarchies in this world can consider themselves a member of the Revolutionary Cells.

Revolutionary Cells Guidelines:

1. To take strategic direct action (be it non-violent or not) against the oppressive institutions that permeate the world.

2. Make every effort to minimize non-target casualties, be they human or non-human.

3. Respect a diversity of tactics, whether they be non-violent or not.

4. Any underground activist fighting for the liberation of the humyn, earth or animal nations may consider themselves a Revolutionary Cells volunteer.”

San Diego was later put on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list in 2009. He was arrested at a property in a rural area next to woodland. Following his capture, San Diego appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court as the process to extradite him to the US to face charges begins.

Solidarity and complicity to Daniel Andreas San Diego who had the strength to take the eco struggle to the belly of the beast.
