Germany, letter from anarchist prisoner Thomas Meyer-Falk

To give space to the nameless, faceless and voiceless!

Horror, sadness, rage, anger and a feeling of helplessness, of powerlessness. Short-term flaring up of affects and stirring emotions here, long-lasting, persistent feelings there, and all this before what we call mood, it colors our experience background, it is, so to speak, the primordial layer, the ground of feeling.

It is the global warming, what is called “climate crisis”, as if it would be a temporally manageable crisis and not a generation-spreading world change, before whose foil all further conflicts must be read, because a world-spreading cooperation, a togetherness is demanded.

Instead, horrible wars are raging, the one that touches us in Central Europe for very different reasons in the area of Ukraine, but also in Kurdistan, in Syria, in Yemen, in many regions of Africa. Conflicts in South America, in Asia – basically there is no region of the world where military conflicts are not being waged, which in turn lead to even more horror, grief, anger and rage.

Athens, Greece: Claim for incendiary attack on a mobile phone antenna by FAI/ELF Anti-cultural nucleus of total chaos and destruction

Athens, Claim for incendiary attack on a mobile phone antenna  in Palaio psixiko area ( Παλαιό Ψυχικό)

I’m going into the dark.
The green lights of the security vehicles watch the streets and corners.
They spy, they guard, bringing security to the neighbourhood of the rich.

They don’t know what’s happening to them.

Under their noses, I’m getting to my target.

An antenna that pollutes the sky with radio signals.

A cursed place, my howling at the moon, my fire, my curse (in the form of an incendiary device).

Poster : Waging our own war ( France)

Waging our own war

Entire cities razed to the ground. Soldiers killing defenseless and terrorized people. The exodus of millions of people. In the face of such horrors, the condemnation of war is unanimous. Our stomach can only protest, overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea.

This does not prevent most of us from living in the midst of the machinery and infrastructures that make these massacres possible. Because yes, indeed, the war starts here, at home. In the hundreds of factories, workshops and laboratories that constantly produce the instruments of death. In the deadly logistics that allow the uninterrupted flow of weapons and equipment. In the energy systems that feed the war machine. In other words, all the tearful speeches about the end of war are a real hypocrisy, as long as there are industrialists to produce it, politicians to declare it, scientists to innovate it, generals to manage it, in short, as long as the interests of those who collaborate with it from near and far flourish.

Is the military industry protected from prying eyes by thick smoke screens? Does all this production take place in distant underground bunkers? No, it’s all there! Exposed to the attention of anyone.

Exarcheia, Athens, Greece: Paint on Metro carriages and areas of the Metro

Exarcheia, Athens, Paint on Metro carriages and areas of the Metro

From the day the works for the Metro began in Exarcheia, a lot of painting has been done on train carriages and other (otherwise sterile) areas of the Metro.

Exarcheia is a beautiful neighbourhood that cares about solidarity and at the same time is a field of class war and rebellion where our own side is still active and fighting. The Metro is another means of sharpening the process of gentrification of the area and at the same time an excuse for an even stronger presence of cops.

Exarcheia is here and resisting, the struggle continues.

With perseverance, consistency, imagination and determination we will win in the end!

NO PEACE WITH POWER

Montreuil/Aubervilliers, France : Raids and arrests of 3 comrades

Montreuil/Aubervilliers : Raids and arrests of 3 comrades

“I heard they were wild but I heard they didn’t care
As long as there is the palace which burns and the convicts who got away “

On July 06, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. two simultaneous raids by the judicial police took place in two apartments, in Montreuil and Aubervilliers. The motive: destruction of public property, apparently a video surveillance camera, during the night of 18 to 19 February 2022 in Montreuil, against two people, E. and G., one in each apartment. The objects seized were: 4 computers, 6 telephones, a USB key, various posters, newspapers and stickers (a public letter from Boris [1], an issue of the magazine Des Ruines, copies of the newspaper Mauvais Sang and the newsletter Lucioles). In one of the two apartments, the cops also took a beige parka and a pair of white shoes. These raids led to two arrests, again for these same events, at the Bobigny police station.

During one of the two raids, a third person, V., was summoned to the DRPJ of Bobigny at 12:00. Considering, on the advice of the lawyers, that if they had wanted to put him in police custody they would have done so directly and that going there and keeping silent would avoid another unpleasant police intrusion, he went there. But it was a bad idea, because this summons was transformed into police custody for the events of September 2021 of violence on PDAP, contempt, rebellion, refusal to have his photo taken, to give his fingerprints and his DNA. That day, during a concert at the squat Le Marbré in Montreuil, the cops had arrested these same 3 people during a police charge [2]. This pending case from September 2021 (which can hardly justify a raid 10 months later…), was thus reactivated on the occasion of the raids of July 6, thanks to article 65 of the code of criminal procedure, which allows this kind of crap.

Piraeus: Protest gathering against the murders of migrants (Athens,Greece)

We call for a protest gathering against the murders of migrants on Sunday 28/8 at 19.30 at the train station of Piraeus

During the tourist season, there have been at least 3 allegations of premeditated murders of migrants by the Greek state.

After several days of torture, the 39 refugees managed to free themselves from the islet in Evros and are now threatened with deportation. At the same time, 5-year-old Maria isn’t with them. Her death is yet another death at the Greek border, adding to the hundreds of deaths that preceded it.

On 10/8, a dead refugee was washed up on a beach 16 km from Chios. Shortly afterwards, two more dead bodies were found floating in the sea. Two of the three refugees had been handcuffed before being thrown into the sea.

Wülfrath (Germany): sabotage of the railway tracks of the lime quarry

Wülfrath : sabotage of the railway tracks of the lime quarry

Translated from German via de.indymedia, August 8, 2022 (excerpt)

On the night of August 3 to 4, 2022, we, an offensive group, sabotaged the railroad tracks of the company Lhoist Germany Rheinkalk GmbH near Wülfrath by twisting the rails and thus making them unusable, with various methods. In doing so, we took care that no uninvolved persons were affected. We consciously opted for offensive means because we believe that these forms of action must regain a large place in the climate justice movement.

Complementary to existing forms of action, they offer us a possibility to break out of the stagnant political situation and to inflict damage to both the companies and the system with additional steps. With the sabotage of the rails, we have effectively cut off Europe’s largest limestone quarry from its most important goods transport routes. The two main players in the lime production site are the billion-dollar groups RWE and Thyssenkrupp.

Why this particular target?

The fossil fuel company RWE operates several brown coal mines in the Rhineland (including Europe’s largest open-cast mine in Hambach). However, this is not enough: despite the long overdue decision to get out of coal, it is about to expropriate the village of Lützerath near the Garzweiler 2 mine, in order to expand it even further. For the operation of open-pit mines and power plants huge quantities of limestone are needed. The lime is used for the preparation processes and is required by law, without it the production must be stopped.

Update | Solidarity and complicity with Mónica and Francisco in the face of the demands for sentences solicited by the prosecutors!

Solidarity and complicity with Mónica and Francisco in the face of the demands for sentences solicited by the prosecutors!

July 24 2020 comrades Mónica and Francisco are arrested in a double repressive operation. Power accuses Francisco of sending explosive parcels against the ex Minister of Home Affairs Rodrigo Hinzpeter and the 54th police station of Huechuraba (which took place on July 24 2019, claimed by “Cómplices Sediciosos / Fracción por la Venganza” – “Seditious Accomplices / Revenge Fraction”), while both are accused of the double explosive attack against the Tànica building in the town of Vitacura (action which took place in the midst of the revolt, on February 27 2020, claimed by “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta” – “Armed Affinities in Revolt”).

During over two years’ prison Mónica has remained in the common section of San Miguel Prison, whereas Francisco was inizially imprisoned in the maximum security section of the CAS (High Security Prison) to then be transferred, along with other comrades in June 2021, to the La Gonzalina di Rancagua prison where he is still being held.

[IT+EN+FR] Qualche notizia sulla situazione dell’anarchico Ivan (Francia, 16 agosto 2022)

Qualche notizia sulla situazione dell’anarchico Ivan (Francia, 16 agosto 2022)

Ecco qualche notizia della situazione di Ivan, il compagno anarchico arrestato l’11 giugno vicino a Parigi per incendio e attualmente in detenzione preventiva nel carcere di Villepinte.

Sta bene. Dopo due settimane in cella da solo fra fine luglio e inizio agosto, è di nuovo in cella con un altro detenuto.

Mentre Ivan era in stato di fermo, la SDAT (Sous-Direction Anti-Terroriste della Direction centrale della polizia giudiziaria francese) ha interrogato la sua compagna. Qualche settimana dopo, hanno convocato per interrogatorio pure sua figlia (di 12 anni) e la madre. Gli sbirri intendevano interrogarla, ma la madre ha rifiutato di lasciarla sola.

T.Chatziaggelou|A message of resistance to comrades Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar (Greece)

Letter of the anarchist prisoner Thanos Chatziaggelou to the anarchist prisoner Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar, regarding the international week of solidarity to anarchist prisoners.

These words travelled by your side from a cell very far from yours. They carry with them, the identically guilty thoughts that crush borders and walls. They carry the same persistence and impatience for the return to the paths of fire. Those thoughts don’t die daily on the iron bars and uninformed figures that separate us. They remain alive accompanying the same necessity for one more consensual plan that will surrender to the fire and gunpower the order and safety of this old world.

Day by day more and more parts of the sky are given away to the iron bars. And there is one question torturing my head more and more: is it the concrete that grows higher or is it maybe the head lowering? However, life itself answers this question. Prisons will not crush us comrades. Because we remain with the same pride wholeheartedly fighting to overcome power.
