5th June. Bristol UK.

[editor’s note: The anonymous ALF activists send two images of the action, but unfortunately they were corrupted and we have not received any other files. The image accompanying the report is unrelated.]

received anonymously via email:

“In the early hours of Tuesday 5^th June, the Bristol branch of Rentokil, “the worlds largest pest control company” got visited by some uncontrollable pests, who took their time to make sure every tire was slashed on the 4 vans, then spraypainted and smashed at least one passenger window on each. Hidden away on a quiet industrial estate in south Bristol they had a surprising lack of cameras for the “the worlds largest pest control company”, any and every company that is complicit in the murder and torture of non human comrades is a target. A local shout out to the animal lib anarchists in the midlands and up north who are maintaining their attack on such targets and the liberation of comrades, let’s see some more of that down these neck of the woods! An international shout out to the ALF comrades in the Netherlands for the burning of 9 slaughterhouse trucks!

Portland, Oregon, USA: Election Office Vandalism

Posted on 2025/02/12 by darknights

January 20, 2025

Portland police are still searching for multiple suspects seen vandalizing the Multnomah County Elections Office around 2 a.m. Monday.

A group of eight to 10 vandals smashed 33 windows and two doors at the elections office, located near Southeast 10th Avenue and Morrison Street. Crews worked until 9 a.m. to clean the glass and graffiti.

Surveillance footage provided by Multnomah County shows vandals dressed in mostly gray or black all wearing hoodies, throwing rocks and other heavy objects through the windows.

Portland Police Chief Bob Day says despite the incident occurring on Inauguration Day, there is no reason to believe the attacks are politically motivated.

“I think it’s important to remember that we have seen these types of attacks regardless of who’s in office,” he said. “It does not tend to be so much associated with the ruling party as much as it has to do with a ideological belief around government and establishment in general.”

Graffiti sprayed on the building contained anarchy symbols and anti-government rhetoric.

Day noted the attack was likely planned because of the amount of damage done in a quick amount of time.

When asked whether there was any potential for a correlation to an arson attack at a Tesla dealership in Salem that occurred just shortly after, Day said they are working with Salem police to investigate a potential link.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the attack on the Hellenic Train offices

Posted on 2025/02/07 by darknights

February 28th marks two years since the deadly crime of Tempi. Two years later and the causes of the collision between a Hellenic Train passenger train and a commercial train remain unclear. Unclear precisely because the main perpetrators of this crime are the capitalist policies of the state and its capital.

57 people died and how many others were seriously injured, with the government trying to cover up the causes of the tragedy, defending once again the private capital of the big bourgeoisie. The latest developments that have come to light leave no room for misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Whether it is fuel smuggling or the transport of any flammable materials, Hellenic Train, New Democracy and capital are covering up their crime.

A cover-up that began to develop from the very first minutes of the crash, with the unprecedented mobilization of the New Democracy’s executive state, which ran to cover up in mafioso terms the permanent complex relationship of bourgeois power with parasitic capital and its interests.

The state administration, with particular zeal, took care to distort the site of the crash, moving and patching up the materials and the site itself, in an attempt to conceal key evidence that could prove what the freight train was actually carrying, the real circumstances of the crash and the real perpetrators of the crash.

Political orders given by “known-unknowns”, political and operational officials who were “absentees”, videos that disappeared or were tampered with, a political power system and a prime minister who “didn’t know, didn’t see, wasn’t informed”. A minister who resigned by immediately standing again and a communication campaign based on human error, dressed up with the audacity of political actors who used a fake 41% as an alibi, mocking the whole of society and the struggles of the victims’ relatives who are seeking justice. At the same time, Hellenic Train, which bought the railway network for a piece of bread, is lying about the contents of the train, blaming its workers.

Nevertheless, the essence of the Tempi crime was and remains one.

Against their profits are our lives. But against the violence of capital lies the violence of our class. This was shown then by the huge and historic rallies of the working class and the people, and it is shown now by last Sunday’s overwhelming rally in the Syntagma. The squares of all the cities were flooded with demonstrators while the devastating last words of the passengers, “I have no oxygen”, became the motto of hundreds of thousands of people.

The social anger that overwhelms the social majority was expressed in a powerful way that Sunday, disarming the state and capitalist mechanisms for good, reminding them that nothing will be forgotten.

Tasks which are none other than the continuation of the struggle against the capitalist system and profit.

The attack on the Hellenic Train headquarters on Friday night, 31 January, is part of our overall struggle. It is a symbolic counter-attack against the makers of capitalist crime and a gesture of honour to those who lost their lives. An overall reminder that we will continue to fight for decent living conditions, for public and free social goods, for our own lives.

The developments of the coming period will find us at the point where the heart of our class beats. Where everything is decided, in the streets of struggle. Where the social, popular, class forces will meet to declare and ensure that the state-capitalist crime in the Tempi will not be completed.

28 FEBRUARY EVERYONE IN THE STREETS

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the attack on the television station ACTION 24

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

TRUE SNITCH JOURNALISTS YOU ARE INDEPENDENT

On 25/01/2025 at noon we chose to intervene with sledgehammers and paints at the television station ACTION 24 on Skiathou Street. Our movement was a minimal act of opposition to a medium that systematically reproduces the dominant discourse, consciously supports any decisions of the state, constantly kills characters at the discretion of the authorities, systematically incriminates and denounces victims of trafficking.

The reason for this event was the appeal of the cop-rapist Bougioukos in the case of the 19-year-old girl from Ilioupoli. The channel in question hosted Bougioukos last year after his conviction, in an interview of the rapist-pimp laundering, attempting firstly to recreate his character and reverse reality by incriminating the 19-year-old survivor and abusing her once again. The status of the cop who arrested the bastard seems to have been enough for the channel to placate him as the wrongdoer in the case.

The bastards at ACTION 24 have gotten us used to the whitewashing of abusers and rapists and correspondingly the framing of victims. In this context, we remember the disgusting lawyer Balta who, through his intervention in a channel programme, instructed the acquittal of rapists and the incrimination of female survivors, as a second Balaskas. In the case of the child rapist Lignadis, the station’s management had taken a clear stand against the victims.

ACTION 24 is accustomed to speaking the language of power and advocating for the sovereign, whatever form it takes, be it government, or “justice” and repression. Being one of the media on the Pecha list promotes every action of the current government from the COVID era to the present day. He is involved in justifying the many contradictory and repressive laws that have been passed. It participates in covering up all the scandals that have come to light such as the wiretapping, so many direct assignments and kickbacks, the relations of the National Police. and political figures with the Greek Mafia case and the cover-up of the state murder of Tempi. At the same time, it is complicit in the silencing and suppression of voices opposed to the mainstream system.

The latest incident of journalistic misery was the coverage of the events of Ampelokipi which in full alignment with the lies of the EL.AS. presented our comrades as ruthless terrorists condemning them before the trial. They also considered the death of our comrade Kyriakos Xymitiris as a “gift from God”. Together with the other media, the Greek police and the political leadership paved the way for the arrest of our comrades with dubious evidence even for the democracy they claim to represent.

One understands that the reasons why we stand against this journalistic cesspool based in the neighbourhood of Gravas are innumerable. This area, like others, is characterised by the violence of work, unemployment, repression and patriarchy. Poverty, misery and the abuse of more and more of our fellow human beings are part of everyday life. We have every reason as struggling individuals to oppose domination, its word and those who spread it. ACTION 24 has long since chosen a camp and we are against it.

Milan, Italy: Smashed the windows of Deutsche Bank in solidarity with the Palestinian people

Posted on 2025/02/02 by darknights

Smashed the windows of Deutsche Bank in solidarity with the Palestinian people (Milan, Jan. 15, 2025)

On the night of January 14-15, we smashed the windows of a Deutsche Bank branch in Milan with hammers as an action in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Indeed, European financial institutions play a decisive role in the genocide taking place in Palestine. Deutsche Bank is the third largest financial institution in Europe (it has a credit of 12. 23 billion) that provides loans to a group of 51 companies directly involved in the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the genocide of the Palestinian people: Airbnb; Alstom; Altice International; Ashtrom Group; Bank, Hapoalim; Bank Leumi; Bezeq Group; Booking Holdings; Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF); Carrefour; Caterpillar; Cellcom Israel; Cemex; Cisco Systems; CNH Industrial; Delek Group; Delta Galil Industries; eDreams ODIGEO; Elbit Systems; Electra Group; Expedia Group; Hamat Group; Heidelberg Materials; Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE); Hilan; Hyundai Heavy Industries; IBM; Israel Chemicals (ICL Group); Israel Discount Bank; MAN Group; Matrix IT; Mivne Group; Mizrahi Tefahot Bank; Motorola Solutions; Orbia; Partner Communications; Paz Oil Company; Puma; Rami Levy Chain Stores Hashikma Marketing 2006; RE/MAX Holdings; Shapir Engineering and Industry; Shikun & Binui; Shufersal; Siemens; Solvay; Tripadvisor; TUI Group; Villar International; Vinci / Semi; Volvo Group; and WSP Global.

For an end to the Zionist occupation of Palestine!
Let’s stop wars and genocides!

Toulouse, France: New shit for new people

Posted on 2025/02/02 by darknights

On the night of January 30-31, we turned up outside the Lafayette pharmacy in Ramonville, south of Toulouse, which houses the brand-new Medadom telemedicine booths. We left a “FUCK TELEMEDECINE” tag and smashed some windows.

We wanted to show our rejection of these little machines. Once again, we find ourselves witnessing the eternal story of empty coffers, while staggering sums are being invested in armaments, of course, but also in the policy of digitization, patient files and privatization.

Digitization imposes itself on our very flesh and blood, when we need it most. Who wants to live in a world where you can’t talk until you click, where the spectacle of high tech masks the most disgusting of precariousnesses, that of not being able to treat yourself. In cities and rural areas alike, where it has become impossible to get an appointment with a general practitioner, telecabins are presented as a solution to a shortage created out of thin air.

Care cannot be reduced to taking blood pressure, pulse or temperature, or answering protocol questions. It’s a matter of meeting and accompanying, taking into account our work and experience. What about psychological suffering, for which continuity of care is essential, and which needs company other than that of a screen? Telemedicine accentuates the relationship with health as the delivery of a prescription, essential in a medicine whose aim is to get people back to work. The relationship to our bodies as mere machines that need to be repaired to maintain their efficiency.

If it’s in the interests of the economy to keep the shop window looking good, then we’re in for a bit of a rude awakening. Because the new healthcare system that’s on the way will isolate us even further, while the state and start-ups will continue to hold hands.

U$A: NYC Anarchists Attack Caterpillar Equipment in Solidarity with Palestine

Posted on 2024/05/03 by darknights

To the Palestinian Resistance,
To the student uprisings,
To all those who struggle for liberation,

We took a strike against Caterpillar for their complicity in the settler colonial state, the Zionist regime, that has wreaked havoc on the lives of Palestinians for decades.

Today we struck several Caterpillar heavy machines as they lay dormant overnight, preventing them from working the next day.

Caterpillar decidedly chose a side by supplying the IOF with bulldozers as early as 1956 for use in the Sinai War and to this day they have not wavered from this position. During the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle the armored D9 bulldozer, which is a Caterpillar product, has been used in countless attacks against the Palestinian Resistance and people. In the early 2000’s during the Second Intifada, the Zionist regime demolished over 3,000 Palestinian homes, and murdered US activist Rachel Corrie in Rafah. The D9’s were used in the Battle of Jenin to destroy houses with fighters inside and raze the center of the Jenin refugee camp. During the Gaza War in 2008, 100 bulldozers were used to destroy Palestinian homes. In 2022, the D9’s demolished eight Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta in yet another example of the long running Zionist genocidal project.

The Palestinian Resistance has renewed its struggle at the end of last year, fighting successfully to push the occupation out of Gaza and deploying clever tactics against a highly militarized enemy. The D9’s were brought out by the IDF once again to destroy farmland, desecrate a burial ground, to attack the Kamal Adwan Hospital, crushing the people who had been sheltering inside.

Caterpillar is clearly an agent and symbol of terror. We strike against it today to show our solidarity with those whose lives have been taken by the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer. Since Caterpillar has joined the war, it can face attacks on any terrain. We strike at Caterpillar today to show our solidarity with and appreciation for the Palestinian fighters who have provided an inspiration for freedom fighters around the world.

Finally, living in the United States, the main supporter and funder of Zionist settler colonialism, it is our duty to become a thorn in its side. It cannot dispense terror half way around the globe and expect to continue without repercussions.

Athens, Greece: Attack on private schools in the centre by Anarchists

Posted on 2024/04/25 - 2024/04/25 by darknights

ATTACK ON PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE CENTRE

It is a fact that any education must be available and accessible to every subject who seeks it. Successive attempts, for at least 30 years, to change its character have tended to overturn the obvious. Privatisation in every aspect of our lives (health, electricity, public spaces) cannot overtake the institution of education. We have no illusions about the excellence of education provided by the state (inadequate infrastructure, hierarchy within the structure, discipline, development of national consciousness, etc.), but the establishment of private universities takes it a step further.Private universities (called non-state universities in this case, so that there is the possibility of state subsidies to share the pie with the cronies of the powerful) make exclusion on the basis of economic criteria even more pronounced. Of course, the facade of free and public education does not fool us (the need for tutorials, especially after the introduction of the Single Entrance Qualification (SQF), some paid courses at universities, paid postgraduate degrees, etc.). At the same time, however, bearing in mind that attending a private university requires you to pass the EBE (so there is still the cost of tutorials, and there is talk of paying for textbooks), the exorbitant tuition fees are added, which it is obvious that only the financial elite can cover. Although free education was formally established by the state, we see it being brought back into question, while its degradation continues. The pursuit of free education does not imply the unity of an imaginary student subject. Within this patchwork are the future slaves with their masters, roles based on their already existing or non-existing privileges. The fairy tale of socio-economic advancement through universities is no longer more than that. A fairy tale. The main aim now is to produce slaves, individuals alienated from the commons and whose only existence is work, based on the needs of the market. And who better to provide docile workers than a private university, with a completely targeted curriculum and a complete prevention of any radicalized thinking. Their sterile nature does not allow for any kind of political engagement, which is what they seek to do to democracies in an attempt to bring them up to more “European” and downwardly mobile American standards. Playing on American economic standards, the banks, first and best, have rushed to make extra profit by advertising student loans, trying to steal a little more from the lives of those below who cannot afford to support such high tuition fees. By critiquing and questioning how state-provided education exists, we stand against further impositions of the state and capital on our existence. We know that any change is made in the interests of the few, the bourgeois and the businessmen, against our own needs and desires.

On the basis of this recognition, we recognise the constitution in the same way. From an anarchist view of the facts, the constitution and laws in general are objects instituted by a special caste of professionals in power, whose aim is to perpetuate the political, economic and ideological supremacy of those above and the imposition and oppression that this aim entails on a large part of society.The constitution is something that is drafted by a select few for themselves and creates an illusion of freedom and security in the modern world for everyone else. Here a need of capital (private universities) is recognized and the state is quick to set aside any institutional resistance by finding legal terminology and finally passes the bill making manifest its long-standing desire for a new revision of the constitution which it has been struggling to initiate for years to keep up with the modern demands of capital. This is why our position is not confined to the role of guardian of the constitution, but attacks the foundations of this charter of democracies and beyond.

On the previous strand, the role of the guardian of the constitution was assumed by the domestic left. They are using it as an arrow in their propaganda, when their quiver was empty. Besides, it is well known that the student left is waging an institutional struggle, such as through general assembly resolutions led by their trade union structures and making backstage deals between the factions, the factions try to patronise any struggle that springs up within the universities. A typical example is the “mass” general assemblies that took decisions on weekly occupations, in which only the factions with their own hours and locks participated. The complete de-nationalization of the means of struggle of the occupations, since classes and examinations were held without obstruction in almost all departments, not only undermined the tool of struggle of the occupation, but also left a legacy of disuse of this means.The fetishization of ’06-’07 and the struggles they preached in the 3rd line of each of their texts, makes them appear as archetypes and not as pioneers, as they want to show. This stems from their basic modus operandi, which only aims at extracting political surplus value for the benefit of their organisations.

Putting our stone in the struggle against private universities we chose, on Thursday 4 April 2024, to intervene with our heavyweights in the business-schools Mediterranean College on Patision and Codringtonos and in IEK Akmi on Codringtonos. The facades of both were smashed, while in the latter we entered the interior and smashed computers and monitors. With only our heavy tools and our willingness to act we caused a blow to two of the most famous schools in the centre of Athens.

We salute the comrades who attacked Le Monde, as well as any aggressive action that will follow.

We have arms, we have hammers, and the schools will be reduced to ashes.

USA: Three Nationwide Subsidiaries Vandalized in Tuscon, AZ

Posted on 2024/02/27 by darknights

On the night of Friday, February 23rd we attacked three subsidiaries of Nationwide insurance in Tuscon, Arizona, smashing their windows and vandalizing their buildings. We were able to do this easily and quickly with only a small group of friends. It was easy, fast, and brought us great joy. We write this hoping it raises your spirits as well.

This action is something that can be replicated any night, in any city. The continued work on cop city in Atlanta is only possible due to the support of Nationwide insurance and their many subsidiaries, and these same companies allow for the proliferation of militarized police projects everywhere.

We believe every supporter of cop city and anything like it must be destroyed completely, and we know there is a whole world fighting with us. Our enemies are everywhere, but we are not deterred by the long list of targets. We know the forest is everywhere, and most importantly we are everywhere.

To the many foot soldiers and bureaucrats of the genocidal police state we have only to say: you can’t hide, we are going to find you and we will destroy you. You cannot escape your complicity no matter how small. We do not care if you hide behind fortresses, walls, security guards, or the power of the state, these illusions will never protect you. Not only will we attack you we will attack everything within the walls of your fortress, everyone you associate with, and everything you think keeps you safe.

We are undeterred by your repression, and we will not stop until everyone is free.

For Tortuguita, for Palestine, for abolition, for total liberation,
For the sugauros and every moment we have together,
We’ll never stop fighting,

-Some Anarchists
