Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attack on the NTUA rectorate

Posted on 2024/11/21 - 2024/11/21 by darknights

Power means total denial of freedom. Imposition is the quintessential means used by those who decide to dominate. So we are talking about a world that was built on this fundamental aesthetic choice. This choice of the ruling class calls upon its servants to implement it. The rectorship of NTUA (National Technical University of Athens) is yet another cog in the machine, one of the threads in the institutional fabric of the state, whose ideological role is sterilization, increased productivity, and the creation of an “excellent” specialized worker who only raises their head when it comes to a better career choice. In short, the ideological role of the university in the neoliberal urban state is to present “governance of science” as the only way societies have to organize themselves. The means by which the university fulfills this role is the monopoly on knowledge, or rather the cultivation of the illusion that it indeed monopolizes knowledge.

In reality, the excellence of NTUA lies in master’s programs in collaboration with TERNA, research on military drones, a close collaboration with police for evictions and arrests, targeting, prosecutions, and the imposition of fines on students. The latest chronological reference point, and after failing to achieve their goal with the successive eviction operations in 2023-24, is the issuance of an ultimatum for all occupied spaces on 31/10/2024. The state and social cannibals rush to stifle any attempt to build an alternative to the prevailing social decay by evicting spaces and intensifying repression, thinking they are terrorizing us. But we do not bow our heads, because we know we are right. The early manifestations of this counter-proposal are the squats, and as long as you do not let us build our own reality, we will destroy yours. After all, the goal is not to build on the existing foundations, but on their ruins. However, destruction does not come on its own.

Fire has always been a weapon of society. So we take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the administration building of NTUA in Zografou, on Friday 08/11/2014.

Athens, Greece: Taking Responsibility For An Incendiary Attack on Five Buses

Posted on 2024/04/23 by darknights

Taking responsibility

In the early hours of Thursday 14/3 we carried out an incendiary attack on 5 buses of the Kanasis private school on Taxilou Street in Zografou area. The result of this was the complete destruction of the buses as well as damage to the building itself. Even at the operational level, the school program was completely disorganised.

First of all, we want to make it clear that we are not in favour of either private or public-state education. The aim of the present educational system is “domestication”, civilizing loyal subjects through the inculcation of the values and principles of the system of domination and the production of disciplined slaves. The way of teaching is completely standardized and sterile, cut off from practical experience, oriented towards the welfare of the techno-industrial system. Every trace of initiative and creativity is neutralized, making it difficult to develop and sharpen critical thinking. Another goal of the educational system is the construction of personalities entirely in harmony with the normative standards and norms implemented through the punishment-reward dichotomy.

School inducts you directly into a predetermined way of life imbued with the misery of routine and is given meaning through wage-slavery. At the same time it forces you to conform to a model of power relations based on the hierarchical figures of teachers and principals who are then replaced by no-good bosses, sleazy politicians, judges, cops, and every privileged pawn on the chessboard. of the system. This is school and the deprived pattern of life it promotes, which perpetuates the alienation of man. In conclusion, the school contributes to the construction of a depraved society made up of docile and easily manipulated citizens who settle for their decadent “life”. For us, these concessions and resignations are what constitute real death.

For these reasons, every school, every university and every educational institution in general should be reduced to ashes.
Additionally, we want it to be understood that we do not share the position of some anarchists who limit themselves to a “struggle” for “rights” granted by the state in order to savour social acceptance and the possibility of gaining political influence within university micro-political circles.

The media immediately created a climate of panic and the police made blind moves that reeked of desperation to appease the social discontent. In particular, they went on an operation to invade the student residences on Olof Palme, bringing in and eventually arresting people who were just staying there. Then, after locating and collecting perfectly legal things, they presented them as possible incriminating evidence and constructed a false picture of an “army” and “hooded yafkas”. At the same time, in Thessaloniki, the police unnecessarily invaded the AUTH, arresting 49 students who were in the occupied university area. So in this way the “regulators of law and order” are praised while their actions are in reality completely fruitless, managing nevertheless to disorient and direct the opinion of the society.

State and capitalist targets are available everywhere, all that remains is to constantly attack them.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the incendiary attack at the EFKA Zografou

Posted on 2023/07/11 by darknights

We take responsibility for the attack with an incendiary device with gas canisters at the EFKA building in Zografou which resulted in damage to a state vehicle of EFKA as well as to the building.

We would like to start by emphasizing that we do not intend this text to speak more than our action. An attack on the state, on an institution we think speaks for itself. Let these few words be a necessary companion and political defence of the flame of our attack.

We have chosen this target as it is a state institution created by the former Minister of Labour Hatzidakis and now under the authority of this ministry, and responsible for pensions, insurances and labour insurance. In other words, everything that constitutes modern capitalist Christianity. To put it more simply. I have worked for 40 years hoping for a pension to ”live my life” as it comes, and if, and with as much money as the government of the day decides. We even know that this particular body has deliberately delayed the payment of thousands of pensions. But we are not here to beg the state to give the pensions to the ‘poor people’ who have made sure that they have re-elected their oppressors forcefully. We are here to remind the state that any attack on the lower economic strata will involve an attack on it.

The people have spoken at the polls and even as anarchists let us accept that. The majority wants democracy and oppression. But let us be proud of this minority that continues to deny power and attack its institutions. Revolutions and uprisings have come from both powerful majorities and fiery minorities. COURAGE. The struggle continues and will end only in the ashes of the power complex and only with our victory.

The action took place on the day of the victory of the hunger strike of comrade Giannis Michailidis and during the period of 2 political trials, the 4 comrades in custody accused of the attack on the traffic police of Piraeus and the 2 comrades and 1 comrade accused of participation in the Anarchist Action organization. We send our solidarity and wishes for a speedy recovery to comrade G.M. and all the imprisoned comrades and we wish them a speedy return to the paths of freedom. We do not forget the prisoners of war and always keep a special place for them in our burning hearts.

Solidarity with the rebels and insurgents of France.

Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Anarchist Attack Group

P.S.1 The date was not chosen at random. Vassilis Maggos lives through our struggles. And even if we don’t win, we will always fight.

P.S.2 Earlier the same day another state and capitalist crime took place with the murder of dozens of immigrants in Pylos. We promise that we, for our part, will turn tears into fire and take revenge.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for incendiary attack on a retired cop’s house by ‘Andreas Baader Cell’

Posted on 2023/02/26 - 2023/02/26 by darknights

We take responsibility for the incendiary attack on the house of retired cop Fotis Theodoros in Kaisariani, at 5 Manoliassas Street. We were very pleased to learn in the following days that a second retired cop lived in the same building.

The reason for this attack was the state murder of Kostas Fragoulis by the uniformed garbage of the DIAS unit. Once again, the agents of the state apparatus murder in cold blood, but this time, as last year with Nikos Sampanis, the race of the victim became the main issue in the political and social arena. We as anarchists do not need to analyse our position, it is clear. But we ought to recall that this is not a random incident but a manifestation of the wider war that is being waged unabated by the state and capitalism against the oppressed of this world and especially against those who dare to question their domination. We take a stand in this war and declare that we will walk through your homes and over your dead bodies.

<<Now it is not fitting that the flame of candles over a young grave but that whole states should be lit>> C.C.F. [Conspiracy of Cells of Fire] ( for the murder of A. Grigoropoulos)

Shortly after the murder of Kostas Fragoulis, the police released a text to all cops, explaining how to be careful and how to avoid or manage attacks either while on duty or in their homes. The attacks in Sygrou, Patras, Zografou and now here have shown once again how important our organization is and how willpower humiliates the stupid plans of the state. Here we have to mention that the target was chosen by chance and only because of its location, that is, within a stone’s throw from the YMET headquarters (riot cop unit) and apparently we approached-we left-we fled and nobody bothered us.

The 2nd main reason for the attack ( that is, apart from the targeting of the cops anyway) was, as the comrades in the attack in Zografou put it, the attack on the doctrine of “law and order” with which the New Democracy has been doing politics from the beginning and hopes to be transformed again into thousands of votes by their stooges. We don’t want to say anything else the rest is well known and well said, we prefer to put it into practice. Let the results of our actions speak!

Strength and solidarity to comrade Alfredo Cospito who is on hunger strike and the Italian state chooses to murder him.

Solidarity to all political prisoners.

Athens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the ambush on the DIAS group in the area of Zografou

Posted on 2023/01/19 by darknights

FEAR CHANGES SIDE

On Thursday night 12/1 we organized and carried out an ambush against cops of the DIAS group in the area of Zografou. The way the ambush was set up and the intensity of the attack we carried out, resulted in the serious injury of a cop and the total destruction of a motorbike -only this one arrived at the scene- of this particular group. The high strength of firepower used was proportional to the impunity of this group, which already counts 2 murdered Roma in the last 16 months and dozens of incidents of “police arbitrariness”. This was a powerful response to the crescendo of police repression orchestrated by the New Democracy government, which has given the police force free rein to beat, torture and shoot in cold blood, knowing that none of them will be punished and their crimes will be covered up by the lies of journalists, the impunity of the bourgeois justice system and the cover of the political leadership.

We say to the cops in the ranks and to their superiors. For the wanton violence you have used, we will punish you with our own hands. Your colleague’s cries of despair are proof of your weakness when faced with organized forces of revolutionary violence. Panic, pain, fear, insecurity, these are the emotions we offered you during the ambush against you. Draw your conclusions from them because your sense of omnipotence ended with a bang in a dead end at Zografou. With this action we want to pass the message that with organization, planning and discipline we can hit the forces of repression by causing fear and material costs to both animate and inanimate material.

The law and order doctrine that the New Democracy government has been applying since the first moment of its election has left behind dead, wounded, tortured and raped. The constant impunity of the cops is not an accidental fact but the essence of this doctrine. The last link in a huge chain of incidents is the cold-blooded execution of the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Fragoulis, because he ‘dared’ not to pay 20 euros for petrol.

Athens, Greece: Claim of responsibility for the incendiary attacks against the homes of high-profile judges – Direct Action Cells/Sacco and Vanzetti Cell

Posted on 2022/11/13 by darknights

The Greek justice system doesn’t have a problem, it is the problem itself

Direct Action Cells claim responsibility for the following incendiary attacks:

At the home of the judge Panagiota Yioupi, at dawn on Friday October 14, in the Glyfada area.

Youpi is one of the many servile puppets of the gang that operates under the name of Greek justice. She presided in the trial of the child rapist and member of the Mitsotakis family, Dimitris Lignadis, who was released from prison after being found guilty of raping underage children. She is a judge who is part of the influential entourage of the drug-dealing shipping tycoon Vangelis Marinakis, having issued a series of provocative rulings in favor of his interests during her term as a judge in Piraeus.

Yioupi is relentless when confronted with the poor, handing out years of sentences with the same ease she would hand out toys at a children’s party. But she has a peculiarity, she turns into a sensitive and soulful person when confronted by people from high society, with political connections, access and financial clout.

At the home of the judge Myrsini Papachiou, at dawn on Saturday, November 5, in the Zografou area.

Papachiou occupies the highest levels of the cesspool known as civil justice. The throne that she sits on as vice president of the Supreme Court is built from the pain of shattered human lives destroyed by prison.

Our decision to target her, apart from her institutional role, is related to the fact that she is currently involved in the Novartis scandal, being a member of the special court that is currently trying state prosecutors and government officials from the former SYRIZA government, as defendants for allegedly orchestrating a conspiracy in this particular case. She is also a court tribunal member for the upcoming trial of a former SYRIZA minister in a case regarding TV licenses. In fact, in order for Papahiou to be a member of these tribunals, she was hastily promoted to the rank of deputy-president a few days before the selection of tribunal members took place. Without any desire to get involved in the shifting alliances and infighting of this rotten political establishment, we recognize that this court is acting as a white-washing machine for sections of the political elite who are involved in the Novartis scandal. An international scandal that demonstrates with surgical precision how capitalism works. Multinationals, big pharma and politicians were complicit in the criminal regulation of drug prices in the health sector. They were complicit in the dismantling of public hospitals, in the operation of an organized international state-economic mafia that exploited in the worst possible way one of the most basic services, that of health. The government’s systematic attempt to present this scandal as a frame-up goes hand in hand with its refusal to demand compensation from the company. Our choice to strike at one of the puppets that are part of the government’s white-washing is intended to highlight all of the above.
