-Zines -Update: Monica Caballero and Francisco del Solar, Anarchists imprisoned in the Chilean region.
In Solidarity with the Antiauthoritarian Library Sacco and Vanzetti , in the Territory dominated by the Chilean State.
In memory of the anarchist Mauricio Morales, who died in action when he tried to attack the Chilean prison guards school on May 22nd 2009. He was carrying an explosive device in his backpack, which detonated prematurely. Since then every year, his friends, comrades and those who never met him commemorate him in different places in the Chilean Region and also in the world. Mauricio was not only a bomb that exploded, but also a comrade who developed itself in different spaces and in many ways, understanding that every way of attacking this violent system of life is equally valid. This is how today we can still read his texts, thoughts, poems and songs, in which he left his ideas.
For anarchy and against all authority, we will remain the worst black plague! Continue reading Soli event in memory of Anarchist Mauricio Morales (Germany)→
The excavator goes boom! Fire and flames for the project to link the A66 and A661 freeways
On the night of April 21-22, 2022, in solidarity with the occupation of Fecher Woods, we set fire to an excavator and a drill of the company Geomer-Kampfmittelbergung and destroyed other means of devastation.
Until recently, the place where this company works was still occupied by a Wagenplatz, which had to give way to the extension of the A66/1.
In addition, this almost completely destroyed site is located right next to the occupied Fecher woods. Continue reading Frankfurt am Main, Germany: The excavator goes boom!→
Banners and posters were put up in Alta Valsusa against the military exercise “Volpe Bianca”. Here is a contribution and some pictures:
“While war looms once again at the door of Europe; while bombs are raining down over the heads of thousands of people; while the umpteenth wrestling between opposing imperialisms is underway taking its toll in blood, the roads and mountains of Alta Valsusa, Sestriere and Val Chisone are literally occupied by NATO troops. Over these days Italian, French and US military are amusing themselves playing war games with their loads of weapons and armoured vehicles in total disrespect for those who are suffering war, are dying of it. For years “Volpe Bianca” exercises have been carried out in our mountains at this time of year, between ski racing and Alpine fanfares. The deafening silence that surrounds this macabre theatre is being broken by a simple but for us very important voice. The streets and squares of Sestriere filled up with leaflets and banners. Hairpin bends on the hill were painted with words refusing to welcome the bearers of death and destruction. Refusal and boycott of war also start here.
On 25th May the Court of Cassation will decide concerning the trial related to the “Scripta Manent” investigation at which one comrade, Anna, was sentenced to 16 years and 6 months, and three comrades, Nicola, Marco and Alfredo to 13 months, 21 months and 20 years respectively.
Among the charges they were sentenced for, as well as that of subversive association and related crimes, for some there is the charge of massacre. As always the State is implementing a policy of reversal of responsibilities given that it is the State itself that commits massacres unpunished in wars, prisons, seas, workplaces, streets, every day in its constant affirmed practice of the monopoly of violence.

The outcome of Zackie’s murder did not come as a surprise. On the contrary, it filled us with more anger, it made it clear to us again that the state is against us and wants us dead. We are under constant threat whether the killers are within or outside. We are under no illusions that the state protects us, only we create the conditions for our self-protection from our oppressors.
Not only does the state not exist to protect us, but it is the institution that (re)produces patriarchy, heteronormativity and property, among other things. These are the manifestations of the culture of power that armed Demopoulos and Hortarias, and arm the hand of any would-be assassin who feels they can exercise power over queer bodies that have no value in society’s sizable heteropatriarchal matrix. Queer bodies, like all oppressed bodies: drug addicts, immigrant(s), Roma, women, disabled, workers, in this society count for less than a pane of glass.

Just after 10am on Wednesday, May 24th (the 4th day of the Third Week of Action) 2 DeKalb County park police entered the forest to inspect the path created by bulldozers on Monday in the RC field. As they were exiting, forest defenders ambushed them by throwing rocks and bottles their cars, smashing windows.
It seems they aren’t so formidable when they aren’t alongside DeKalb County Police assisting in encampment sweeps, as they did last December at the behest of Blackhall Studios following the “Witch Bloc” hexing. Continue reading MULTIPLE POLICE CARS DAMAGED IN WEELAUNEE (usa)→
Late in the night, on May 4th, individuals acting in the spirit of vengeance visited the home of Michael Fortier on Chester Avenue. Mr. Fortier was a federal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Today, he is the vice-chairman of capital markets at the Royal Bank of Canada. Tucked away in his big house in the Town of Mount-Royal (a wealthy Montreal neighborhood separated by a long wall from the poor and exploited), Mr. Fortier no doubt feels at ease with his employer’s decision to continue funding the Coastal GasLink pipeline (or any other disgusting project financed by RBC).
As glaciers melt and drought, fire and famine spread, Mr. Fortier may think that his money and connections will protect him, his children and his grandchildren. But the ecologically dispossessed will know the names of those responsible. He must understand that no one is safe amid this storm. Continue reading Nighttime Visit at the Home of an RBC Executive→
In “Toronto” on the morning of May 1st, we attacked an RBC branch in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en land defenders. We left a spray-painted message, a damaged lock, and a mess of red paint.
As we walked away into a beautiful May Day sunrise, we left a trail of messages through the city.
We were left wanting more, but we know that there are many more days ahead.
The time is now, the task is simple! Attack!
For 3 years now, the far-right government of the ND has intensified state repressive action against those who fight and stand against its brutal capitalist plans.
The repressive attacks, frame-ups and persecutions against militants are countless. In these 3 years we have witnessed demonstration bans, torture of protesters and prisoners, informal hostage-taking of anarchists under harsh restraints, arrests in the pile, intimidation with non-existent DNA and detention. The purpose of all these state practices is to completely cut off and isolate militants from social resistance and physically eliminate them.

Munich: About raids and a §129 procedure against anarchists and the theft of a printing space
What happened?
As previously published, on Tuesday, April 26, in Munich coordinated raids were conducted against anarchists accused of forming a criminal organization (§129). Four apartments were searched (2 of them without any of the accused living there), as well as several basement storage rooms (some of the neighboring cellars of those to the accused were also searched), a printing space, and the anarchist library Frevel.
Coordinated by State Security (K43), a bunch of hooded USK cops with battering rams, partly drawn weapons and some even in chain-mail – yes, whether this cop had lost a bet or whether it was a knight-themed week, we will probably never know – stormed into the apartments at 6 a.m. sharp. This infamous testosterone-fueled bunch even rammed open a door whose key was inserted in the lock on the outside. At some of the apartments, the cops or their colleagues from K123 (Digital Forensics/Telecommunications Surveillance) must have logged into the local WLAN network beforehand, as they seemed to have a precise idea of which devices were connected to the local WLAN network at that time: equipped with power banks and presumably Faraday cages (which serve to shield radio signals) in the form of pouches, the officers immediately snatched the devices, all of them smartphones, and secured them while they were still switched on.

Last week on april 26th, the cops raided several private apartments as well as the anarchist library „Frevel“. More comrades beeing accused of having formed a criminal organisation. In this case, the charges are incitement of crime. Another §129 investigation in a long line of criminal investigation within the anarchist, antifaschist and anti authoritarian movement.
The repression against our munich comrades is an attack on us all. In the face of growing social tensions, concerning a militarisation of society and the need for strong world leaders, anarchist spaces as a place for us to come together, a place for discussions and exchange about our struggle, are more important than ever.

THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE IS THE LUNG OF EVERY SOCIAL STRUGGLE
Reality is harsher than our words can describe. We live under the boot of unscrupulous oligarchs who distribute to the plebs only bombs, terror, disease, poverty and endless exploitation. What else but resistance by all means can guarantee the hope of a free life? The project of uninterrupted revolutionary struggle is not a theory, but is embodied by those who organize today against tyrannical power. The armed rebels who take up the responsibility of bringing this project to life here and now are the raw material of the revolutionary movement.
In the person of comrade Dimitris Hatzivasileiadis, who was captured in August 2021, after 2 years on the run, and sentenced to 16 years in prison, the state punishes the undertaking of a social duty – that is, practical resistance to its regime of terrorism: Assuming sole responsibility for the custody of the Revolutionary Self-Defence Organization’s seal weapon, but also for the attempt to reconstruct the guerrilla based on the strategy of the organization, which ceased its activity in 2017. In the words of the comrade, the Revolutionary Self-Defence Organization was an example “where the guerrilla, starting with the few political forces available, attempts to strengthen the social insurrection, to protect it and to deposit a revolutionary line within it” and “did its duty as long as it could, as long as there was a collective body that recognized this duty.” Continue reading Athens, Greece: SOLIDARITY MARCH 14 MAY FREEDOM TO DIMITRIS HATZIVASILIADIS AND VANGGELIS STATHOPOULOS→
Thanks to all those who came to express their solidarity and rage at Bristol Crown Court on Friday. After 15 months of solitary
confinement, it was the most amount of comrades I had seen in a long time. Your strength and warmth stays in my heart.
This was a major defeat and humiliation for the anti-terrorist
prosecutors and police, but we should not rest easy. A state methodology has been put together which they will use to attack others in the anarchist space when they can.
Operation Adream is also still not closed and so we should remain ready. There are many lessons to be learnt here and a more complete analysis will come out in time.
I am due for release in late December and will be on license until
November 2024. The prison Offender Management Unit (OMU) confirmed to me that the anti-terrorist units still intend to keep me under surveillance after my release. I am sure they will try to take revenge, but with the love and complicity of all the comrades, we’ll turn up the heat. Liberty and discord are one and the same. Always unrepentant, always anarchist.
AGAINST THE 41 BIS REGIME, REVOLUTIONARY SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST ALFREDO COSPITO
On Thursday 5th May imprisoned anarchist Alfredo Cospito received notification that he was under the 41 bis prison regime. At the moment Alfredo is still being held in the prison of Terni, in the designated unit. We don’t know if this is a temporary destination and a transfer to another institution will follow. As established by law, the measure was ordered directly by the minister of justice Marta Cartabia, already president of the constitutional court. We briefly recall that 41bis is a particularly distressing prison regime, which in order to prevent any form of communication includes isolation, lack of sociality and all internal activities, silence, censorship of correspondence, one hour’s visit a month with glass partition and “intercom”, therefore the recording of the visit itself, 10 minutes’ telephone calls per month with an authorized family member who must telephone from carabinieri barracks. Prisoners cannot receive newspapers or books, most letters are pre-emptively blocked due to their content, moreover it is not possible to buy newspapers and there is great limitation in the availability of items inside the cell (rationed books, clothes, food, paper and pens).
This is not the first time that such a measure has been inflicted on revolutionaries; in 2006 four Red Brigade prisoners were locked up in these structures (one of them, Diana Blefari, committed suicide in October 2009, shortly after she was removed from 42 bis). This is a precedent that hasn’t yet been disrupted in spite of mobilizations.
