explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile)

Claim of the explosive attack against Fundación Paz Ciudadana by the Brígadas Anárquicas Luis Ramírez Olaechea (Providencia, Chile, May 22, 2023)

Those who have been here, in the minority and diffuse practice, know that failing an attack is part of the many probabilities that arise in the bravery of the street, when we believe that everything is going well, we are surprised that something escapes from what was arranged and planned.

Deciding on an electrical system to detonate an explosive charge is not a whimsical decision, it is the result of studying the objectives, our forces and our resources for action. With a quick entry and withdrawal from the environment we prioritize the safety of our comrades, understanding that the materials at our disposal come and go, while the life and freedom of our brothers and sisters is the most valuable component of the arsenal.

These bitter situations are softened when we know from practice that although the State, police and prosecutors are careful to protect their territories, neighborhoods, institutions and infrastructures, the attack is still possible in contexts of control and passivity. The attack does not come to life in fervent virtual slogans, it is a threat when it bursts into the streets.

Sablons (Isère), France : “For Serge, stop industry”

via:sansnom

Nord-Isère, An electric line sabotaged: the Hexcel chemical factory stopped

“For Serge, stop industry”. This is the tag sprayed with black paint on an electrical cabinet, at the foot of a pylon supporting a 225,000 volt power line, damaged by a fire early this Friday in Sablons. With this “signature”, referring to Serge, this demonstrator seriously injured in the head during the outbursts of the demonstration against the mega-basin in Sainte-Soline, the criminal nature of this act is not in doubt.

It was 4:44 am when the firemen were informed of a fire. A fire had just damaged this high-voltage line supplying the Hexcel factory in Salaise-sur-Sanne, a company specializing in carbon fiber [Note of Sans Nom: it manufactures, among other things, the wings for the Airbus A350]. Immediately, the site was frozen before the arrival of gendarmes from the Vienne research brigade and criminal identification technicians from Grenoble. An investigation was opened for “deliberate destruction by arson”.

Roussillon: sabotage of a high voltage line supplying the company Hexcel, deprived of electricity

An electric cable of 225.000 volts was set on fire early this Friday, May 19 in Sablons, in Isère. The manager of the electric network RTE gave the alert around 3:30 am, after an alarm was triggered. The origin of the power cut was then detected an hour later, around 4:30 am.

June 11th: International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

 

2023 Call : Against Oblivion, Against Despair: A Call for June 11th

Another year passes, and another June 11th is upon us. Once again we’re appreciating all that has unfolded in anarchist struggle over this period, both triumphs and hardships, outside the prison walls, and within. We’re appreciating the beauty in fighting back, and the strength that can be fostered when we refuse to succumb to both oblivion, and despair.

Against oblivion: we refuse to let the state disappear rebels, to erase their sweet or sharp words from our discussions, or to remove or obfuscate their contributions to our shared struggles. Instead, we remember them. Their actions, words, laughter, potential, and humanity. We can act as conduit for each other through prison walls and among generations. They can be kept involved as our struggles shift and change, and we can keep them connected to the outside world, and too the outside connected to them.

You Are The Crisis! DHL Fleet Torched in Hamburg, Germany

You Are The Crisis! DHL Fleet Torched in Hamburg.

The face of the exploitative system is sometimes only visible in this world by looking behind the numerous corporate logos that flash back and forth before our eyes every day, spitting at us from illuminated billboards or pestering us penetratingly from the Internet.

The companies behind names like Amazon, Tesla, Vattenfall, Deutsche Bahn, Thyssen-Krupp, Telekom, DHL, etc., leave much more visible traces in other areas of the world. Destruction of nature and war have turned this earth into a battlefield and the people and animals who live on it into mentally and physically unwell beings.

The analyses that try to capture what has led to the current misery here since the beginning of the industrial age are neither abstract nor far-fetched. They clearly name the capitalist actors as the culprits and the patriarchal system they adhere to as the root cause. Only complete idiots still believe that reformist policies and green capitalism can be acceptable ways out of the crisis.

¡Punky Mauri Presente! In memory of Anarchist Mauricio Morales, 22 MAY 2009 -22 MAY 2023.

Before Going to Sleep

Before going to sleep I reflect on modernity
and I don’t get used to the artificial smell
Nor to the plastic that envelopes water,
nor to machines nor to military helmets,
Nor to ties and their suits.

My hands don’t get used to the artificial connection in virtual universes
Connected lives in wireless networks, my eyes search for the eternal fire of
rebellion among the multitude of corpses and only in isolated gazes, the
conscious individual emerges with dagger eyes that resist dying in the
democratic cemetery.
Before going to sleep I embrace chaos
as an idea that liberates my body and my mind
Because after all, it makes me feel alive.
I do not want to search for the grail that will liberate future societies.
My fingers search for the bloody flight of the destruction of the chains of
the rhythmic fire, of the close fire of power and its masters.
Upon sleeping, my actions are designed so that tomorrow, after waking up,
I will
Break the routine, in a solitary action, with my chest like a swollen stone,
by the destruction of this and of any society.
Do me a favor: see to it that anarchy lives.

Before dying in the sludge of the street we will imitate Mauricio Morales!

“Love yourself and be violent, beautifully violent, until everything is des- troyed. Remember that whatever violent action against those who promote equality is completely justified for the infinite amount of violence they sub- mit us to.

.…. Love yourself and combat terrorism, burn, conspire and sabotage and beviolent, beautifully violent, naturally violent, freely violent.”
-Mauri

Comrade Mauri
You are with us!

Greece: Some news as a first signal of solidarity with Anarchist Giannis Michailidis that he has started a new hunger strike from last Friday 12/5/23

Thessaloniki, Greece: Supporting march in solidarity with comrade G. Michailidis

Today Wednesday 17/5 the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis announced that he has started a new hunger strike from last Friday 12/5, as the judicial mechanisms of the State have continued to mock him for a long time, while according to civil law he has been entitled to be released from prison for more than a year, having completed almost ten years of incarceration.

As a first signal of solidarity with the comrade’s struggle, we held a supporting march in the city centre, where we threw flyers and made paintings. About 100 comrades came to the solidarity march.

Turin. Internet cables set on fire on the Frejus highway: municipalities isolated for hours

Trucks diverted from the Turin-Bardonecchia highway to the center of Susa (Italy). Smoke, thick and black, rose over on a long stretch of Highway 32. Data communication systems were interrupted for several hours in Oulx and Bardonecchia. This is the consequence of a fire of criminal origin that destroyed the cable channels passing under a small viaduct in the municipality of Salbertrand at around 6:30 am, on the Turin-Bardonecchia freeway, on the morning of Wednesday, May 3.

Hunger strike from 12/5/23 of the anarchist prisoner comrade Giannis Michailidis (Greece)

Hunger strike from 12/5/23 of the anarchist Giannis Michailidis

Recognizing that there are social issues more important than my release from prison, I am making a second attempt to publicize the dirty war I have received from government and judicial mechanisms. I will refrain from going into what had happened up to this time last year to avoid tedious repetition. I will pick up the thread from the suspension of the hunger strike last July. A misguided choice that came after unrealistic promises on the part of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court judge who is the umbilical cord between the judiciary and the government to immediately grant my request on the extortionate condition that I would first suspend the strike and that this would not be exposed..

According to him, I had to suspend the strike, make a new application for suspension in Amfissa and he would pick up his phone as long as it did not become public, otherwise the agreement would cease to be valid. I made the mistake of assuming they would fulfill their promises because they would calculate their exposure, which in a controlled media environment proved to be a disastrous illusion. My isolation under the special detention regime of the Lamia hospital, which cut me off from my close comrades, contributed to this false choice as I was unable to consult the only people who had both the facts and the political acumen to recognise in time that this was a fraud.

The result was that I lost another year of my life, slowly and agonizingly waiting for the decisions of the judicial councils. Unexplained bureaucratic delays of the decision that would supposedly release me in September, until December. At this point I should have already started anew, but realizing the blow to my credibility as I was drawn into the State trap, it was not an easy choice at all. So I decided to wait until the statute of limitations had expired on the trumped-up case that was used as a pretext to have my licenses cut off, postponing the next battle. They then took every care to deprive me of any legal right to any leave, educational or tactical, that could possibly pave the way for my bloodless victory. At the same time, the tribunals demanded statements of legitimacy by asking me questions along the lines of “does your ideology allow you to never again violate the law?” And the renunciation of ideas and partner relationships is made a condition for an eventual release, which if so, may it never come.

Italy - General news ,sabotage, actions and Solidarity with anarchists arrested and all those under investigation

The new appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial has been scheduled (Turin, Italy, June 19, 2023)

The new appeal hearing of the Scripta Manent trial has been scheduled June 19,2023

Last Friday, May 12nd, the Constitutional Court concluded the drafting of the motivations with which it opened up the possibility of recognising some type of mitigating circumstances for Alfredo Cospito [on April 19th the comrade interrupted his hunger strike], and thus avoiding a life sentence for him.

As a result of this, immediately, this morning [May 15th], a new appeal hearing was set at the court of Turin during which the judges will recalculate the sentences to be inflicted on Anna Beniamino and Alfredo [the sentences for all the other comrades, following the cassation sentence of July 6th, are already definitive]. The hearing is set for next June 19th. We recall that before the referral to the Constitutional Court, the prosecution had asked to sentence Alfredo to life imprisonment without possibility of parole and Anna to 27 years.

Always in solidarity with the imprisoned anarchists
Always at the side of those who fight
