Berlin, Germany: Fire of Solidarity for Alfredo Cospito by Autonomous Cell ‘Anna Maria Mantini’

Posted on 2022/11/13 by darknights

In the early hours of 31 October, we set fire to a van belonging to the GA-Tec company. This company for building and facilities management technology is 100% owned by the Sodexo group and runs prisons itself (in England and Chile) and is a big profiteer of the prison industry. The van burnt out in the Lichtenberg district, where a number of cars have been burnt recently.

Not only to cause damage to the company, but out of an inner motivation we could not help but make such an attack against our oppressors. The news that the comrade Alfredo Cospito is being tortured in the so-called “41bis” regime of justice by the Italian state leaves us anything but indifferent. Alfredo is not only to be muzzled, his existence is on the verge of extinction. We unite with his militant push. Together with his hunger strike, we break the total isolation. We also call on all other comrades to take direct action now and decisively shorten the reaction time of the anarchist international struggle. To snatch Alfredo Cospito from the regime of extermination and unleash a revolutionary force in the coordinated offensive. Not to live in prison or in the isolation regime means a great responsibility. In the struggle combined with hunger strikes, we cannot wait until the prisoner also has to go on thirst strike.

Militant campaigns triggered by hunger strikes can open up a substantial anti-capitalist perspective. Metropolises can be transformed into jungles where the infrastructure of the ruling classes could be completely destroyed if its inhabitants decided to do so. Prison profiteers, arms companies, police contractors, construction corporations – their glass facades, vehicles and data lines that are encroaching on the habitats of our class in increasingly dense urban centers or being used to try and protect themselves in their own sanctuaries. Just like how the GA-Tec/Sodexo van we attacked was engulfed in a high-rise precariat housing estate, it could become commonplace for the logistics of power as the intensifying class antagonisms and the militant campaigns of the anarchist milieu develop a common approach.

Solidarity also to Juan Sorroche and Ivan, who immediately joined Alfredo’s struggle and are also on hunger strike.

Freedom for them and also for Giannis Michailidis, Claudio Lavazza and Toby Shone.

Victory to the Mapuche struggle!

Death to the state, long live anarchy!

Anzola dell’Emilia, Italy: Responsibility claim for the arson attack against some MARR trucks in solidarity with anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino

Responsibility claim for the arson attack against some MARR trucks in solidarity with anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Juan Sorroche, Ivan Alocco and Anna Beniamino on hunger strike against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole (Anzola dell’Emilia, Italy, November 5, 2022)

Anzola dell’Emilia (Bologna).

On the night of November 5, 2022, we set fire to some MARR trucks. MARR is a company that has been involved in the supply of meals to prisons and deportation centres for immigrants for years. Its profit is based on the imprisonment of thousands of people. What we have done is for all the shitty meals they deliver.

It is for all the people who fall ill because of unhealthy food in the structures supplied by this company.

And it is especially for those who have chosen to struggle in prison, precisely by giving up food.

WE ARE WITH ALFREDO COSPITO, ANARCHIST IMPRISONED IN THE 41 BIS SECTION OF THE BANCALI PRISON IN SARDINIA, ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE OCTOBER 20 AGAINST 41 BIS AND LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE.

WE ARE WITH IVAN ALOCCO, JUAN SORROCHE AND ANNA BENIAMINO, IMPRISONED ANARCHISTS WHO ADHERE TO THE HUNGER STRIKE, JOINING ALFREDO’S FIGHT (we learn of Anna’s choice after our action).

Their struggle is also ours. Ours is theirs.

For the freedom of everyone, against prisons and those who profit from their existence! Against 41 bis and life imprisonment without possibility of parole!

A FIGHTING EMBRACE TO THE COMRADES ON HUNGER STRIKE AND TO THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.

Leipzig, Germany: SPIE & MIELE Vans Set on Fire – Freedom for our Comrades!

Posted on 2022/11/13 by darknights

During the night from 31.10. to 01.11. we set fire to SPIE and MIELE vans in the south of Leipzig. SPIE has been known as a prison profiteer for years. The company is involved in both the construction and operation of prisons worldwide.

For us, MIELE is representative of German imperialism in Greece. The appliance manufacturer has previously been the target of attacks by the Revolutionary Organization November 17 there.

Our hearts burn for all the rebels in the dungeons of the state who continue their struggle. They burn for Alfredo and Juan who are on hunger strike in Italy. They burn for Giannis Michailidis, who was on hunger strike from May to July this year and unfortunately had to suspend it without “success”.

Freedom for Anna, Juan, Giannis and Alfredo!
For anarchy!

Hamburg, Germany: You are the crisis. Claim for the incendiary attack on a government vehicle in the St. Pauli neighborhood

Posted on 2022/10/12 by darknights

The crises of this world are evidently coming to a climax.
It is certainly no illusion that hard times are coming. Even if we consider the situation of the past decades a catastrophe, the new developments seem much more threatening. This may be because the Corona, climate change and the war in Ukraine are forcing us to look beyond Central Europe. The problems are getting closer and we are now more clearly feeling the effects here as well.

However, the effects of Corona, poverty and war in a city like Hamburg do not affect everyone equally.
As all over the world, marginalized and poor people are affected and forced to flee, starve and homelessness differently than rich people. This situation will only get worse in the coming period. If the rich get scared, they will be even more ruthless in defending “their” property and use even more violence to protect their privileges.

In cities like Hamburg, where the percentage of millionaires is the highest in the country, the social imbalances are much more pronounced.
Just over one in a thousand earns more than a million euros a year. At the same time, one in five children live in poverty. In the wealthy suburbs of the Elbe [Hamburg’s bourgeois district], not even one child in a hundred lives in a “Hartz 4 family” [a family receiving welfare for particularly low incomes], in the poorest neighborhoods almost one in two.

Nothing new, the world is unfair. Continue reading “Hamburg, Germany: You are the crisis. Claim for the incendiary attack on a government vehicle in the St. Pauli neighborhood” →

Chile: Renata-“Jalea” gets out of juvenile prison

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson of a UNISON vehicle

Posted on 2022/09/28 by darknights

UNISON is an environmental killer company carrying out Bakoyannis’ orders, with the aim, using saws, of wiping out everything wild that surrounds us. Its employees follow the orders of the cops. The rich want to see the world we dream of wiped out forever.

UNISON kills the trees and bushes, cuts the grass and branches to make our parks and streets more livable. To remove the possibility of hiding from the forces of repression. To facilitate evacuations of homeless people who take refuge in the wild darkness. Place lights to eliminate the darkness. For in the darkness the wild grows. The wild and the darkness scares them – the state, the rich, the cops, the culture.

The last UNISON attack was in Cyprus Park in Patissia. They are also central to the current attacks against Strefis Hill and Drakopoulos Park. The company is also present at metro stations such as Omonia.

It was very nice to find one of their company vehicles parked on the streets of Metaxourgeio, at the corner of Paramythias and Mykalis streets. So in the early morning hours of September 27th we burned it, so they could pay a little bit of what they have taken.

Our attack is in the context of class warfare: while underpaid workers go to work on public transport, middle-class UNISON employees have company vehicles, representing their aggressive concept of a clean and safe metropolis. The location of our fire, in a neighbourhood suffering from a constant gentrification campaign that excludes the poor to establish another silly entertainment and airbnb district. And UNISON is a central part of this gentrification process across the city.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for arson attack of an OTE van

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

The state, using the doctrine of law and order, intensifies its repressive action. It sells security to the rich and all those who have decided to live with their heads down. Everywhere around us there are cameras, cops, security guards to ‘guard’ the squares, the parks, the universities, the neighbourhoods, always ready to suppress any wrongdoing. The aim of any state is to create widespread fear and to deaden parts of society that continue to struggle.So let us make it clear that neither their copocracy nor their laws scare us. Our voices and our actions will continue until the destruction of all power. We did not expect nor do we intend to wait for all the oppressed to rise up to return the violence they do to us daily. ‘

‘We need struggle, struggle, struggle; struggle with shouts and slogans at demonstrations, struggle with flaming Molotov cocktails, struggle with stones and paint, struggle with guns, grenades and bombs, struggle with pencils, pens and books, struggle with arson and conspiracies, struggle and always struggle.’

Ch. Tsakalos

We fight in the here and now and we attack every state and capitalist objective. The destruction of every such goal is a breath of our own freedom. We take responsibility for the arson of a van of the telephone company OTE in N. Chalkidona.

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary attack burns six trucks and a butcher’s meat packing plant + Claim leaflet

Posted on 2022/09/25 by darknights

During the early morning of Monday, September 19, even with the patriotic feast in the air, a group of at least 6 anonymous encapuchados (hooded ones) completely overtake the Susaron butcher’s shop on Matta Avenue, Quilicura commune.

With firearms they managed to reduce the guard, and then spray and set fire to about 6 trucks of the meat company.

Before disappearing completely from the place, they throw pamphlets for animal liberation, while the flames begin to spread, setting the meat packing plant on fire.

About 70 firefighters arrived at the site to extinguish the fire, and then the incinerated remains of the vehicles were examined by the PDI. The Undersecretary of the Interior, Manuel Monsalve, said:

“Unfortunately, we have seen during the last weeks the call for several events linked to the defense of animal rights, with which surely most of us agree to protect the rights of animals, but I think no one agrees is with the exercise of violence (….) has no link the defense of animal rights, which is completely legitimate and I think it has earned a space in the agenda of the country, to the exercise of violence that Chile rejects and that we will criminally prosecute.”

~~Press info: T13, Meganoticias~~

Pamphlets found in the sector:

“The attack is expanding and we are growing in boldness, mind and danger. Beware, the groups of intransigent anti-speciesist belligerence are blooming like daisies. Today we attack this company in its infrastructure, tomorrow it will be its owners and collaborators of any kind. For all of them we predict lead and shrapnel.

Animal liberation, without consideration for whoever crosses in front of us”.

Kassel, Germany: Incendiary attack of the car park of the German army

Posted on 2022/09/25 - 2022/09/25 by darknights

de.indymedia, August 17, 2022

On the night of Thursday to Friday of last week, two vehicles were completely burned in the district of Bad Willhelmshöhe in Kassel (Hessen region). The two cars that were completely destroyed by fire were two civilian vehicles belonging to the German army fleet, parked near the Bundeswehr technical school. The cops say the damage was in the mid-five figures. A small drop in the bucket compared to the huge sums currently being spent on rearmament.

Since all NATO member countries are required to spend at least 2% of their GDP on war preparations, spending on military and armaments products is skyrocketing in Europe. Since then, the German army has been subtly presented to us as an “antiquated troop, reduced to a pitiful size by cost-cutting” and “not fit for combat”. The aim is to convince the public that the huge investments in the military-industrial complex are justified and serve the security of Europe. When at the beginning of this year the war in Ukraine escalated again and the Russian ruling class sent its army to finish annexing the territories in the east of Ukraine that have been disputed for years, the calls for the necessary rearmament of Europe finally found complacent ears.

In a fast-track parliamentary procedure, 100 billion euros of “special budget” were made available to the German army, in addition to arms spending that had already risen to 56 billion dollars by 2021. German arms companies, whose war material will now be massively sold to the Ukraine and produced for NATO armies, are rubbing their bloodstained hands and can say with a clear conscience: this time we are on the right side. Buoyed by this mood, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger, who normally avoids publicity as is appropriate in this industry, is no longer missing an opportunity to promote his group, whose share price has doubled since the start of the war in Ukraine. The fact that the German arms industry is only interested in profits and has no morals is evident in the arms trade with the fascist Erdogan regime in Turkey or with Saudi Arabia, whose army helped to crush the Arab Spring protests in Bahrain in 2011. The big German arms groups have also sold their war machines to Russia, although after the annexation of Crimea an arms embargo was decreed by the EU. In order to do this, the arms dealers used, as is also usual in this sector, a legal loophole to circumvent the embargo.

France: Numerous direct actions in solidarity with anarchist comrade Boris

Toulouse: Scopelec vehicle on fire in solidarity with Boris

This world is becoming more and more unbreathable every day. The techno-industrial system has a lot to do with it. In order not to be suffocated, on the night of September 12 to 13, we chose to attack. Under the gaze of the crows and the moon, we burned a Scopelec van.

At the moment of writing this communiqué, our thoughts flew to Boris who, after being locked up in state cages, continues to suffer repression by the judicial and medical authorities. The defenders of these institutions are seeking to deprive him of his autonomy in order to punish him for burning down cell towers and more generally for his hostility to their world.

If we want to stand in solidarity with people who are attacking domination, we also want to bear in mind that “their world” runs through us and that the struggle against gender oppression cannot be relegated to second place in our actions or our relationships.

Solidarity with the anarchist prisoners!

Toulouse: Action against the ZFE, in solidarity with Boris

In the night of 5 to 6 September, a charging point for electric cars was set fire to in the sept derniers area in Toulouse.

A nuclear shower has caused new mushrooms to spring up all over the metropolises, and Toulouse is going all out. Neither economic reasons nor the so-called “ecological” transition can justify either the social carnage or the destruction of the air and water.
Let the markets dry up instead of the rivers, let the birds sing and let the governance experts finally shut up.
