Also under the slogan “Borders killing” we went to the street in theAthens, Greece: Responsibility claim for the arson attack on a company vehicle of UNISON Facilities Management in Exarcheia
Regenaration, development, gentrification. Concepts that have become embedded as spikes in the discourse and action of the antagonist movement, must be seen as another aspect of the attack of the ruling classes against the oppressed class. Capital aims at subordinating the whole of life to its exploitation and reproduction, and therefore organizes more and more aspects of human activity in this logic.
The process of enclosing community/public spaces for the purpose of capital’s reproduction is a process as old as capitalism. In recent decades we have experienced the long deconstruction of social democratic management, with the mediation of the state receding, giving more room for the defensive subordination of activities of social life to capital. In this sense, a concerted attack has been launched in recent years on public spaces, squares, parks in the metropolises, transferring their management from the state to private individuals, with the aim of creating new fields of profitability for capital.
This is exactly the condition of the sale of a series of public green spaces by the Municipality of Athens to the company UNISON Facilities Services, such as the hills (Strefi, Filopappou, Lycabettus, Turkovounia), squares (Protomaya, Victoria, Kypseli, Attiki, Ameriki, Drakopoulos, Agios Panteleimon), parks (Platonos Academia, Kyrpo, Patision, Goudi) and pedestrian streets (Agia Zoni, Fokionos Negri). UNISON (formerly ISS), belongs to a category of a new type of company that, through contractor privatisations, is simultaneously financed by state-taxed, collectively produced surplus value, and at the same time intensifies the exploitation of its workers through miserable wages, flexible working hours and violation of workers’ rights.
War starts here: Let’s cripple its infrastructure where we can

It is difficult to judge the current situation in Ukraine from a political point of view. Is the whole thing just the well-known dick comparison, some megalomaniac and war-mongering armies and politicians or will it really come to war? This text leaves such questions aside and devotes itself instead to those questions that make much more sense from our point of view: how can a military conflict, a war, a potential NATO war be sabotaged? It is in the nature of things that this text can at most give a few suggestions and we do not want to present ready-made solutions, but simply put a few ideas into the room.
We publish this text on the Internet because we want to share these thoughts with as many like-minded people as possible, with whom it would be impossible for us to discuss these issues face to face. However, we think that any (strategic) exploration of this debate should not take place on the Internet above all because this merely serves repression but is unlikely to have any added value for those who are also determined to use their creative energy to pursue some of the thoughts raised here.

Greece: Direct Action Cells – Responsibility claim for a barrage of incendiary attacks in Athens and Thessaloniki
Direct Action Cells – Responsibility claim for a barrage of incendiary attacks in Athens and Thessaloniki
Revolution or Barbarism
In recent years our days have been filled with news of deaths, with numbers of dead, with the words of “experts” who command arrogantly and boastfully from the power they have been given. They are filled with unreasonable orders and outrageous government impositions. We do not intend to extensively analyze positions on the health crisis. The tragic shortages of medical personnel, equipment and infrastructure, the “stain” of 100 deaths a day, i.e. the dire consequences of decades of privatization of public health care. The provocative strengthening of the private sector, exemplified by the big pharmaceutical companies and health giants, whose profits have reached historic highs. The re-emergence of the ‘strong’ state model to restore capitalist equilibria. The strengthening of centralised powers and the emergence of a new caste of all-round technocrats, with the role of abdicating and covering up the responsibilities of the state apparatus and shifting the responsibility for the spread of the virus to the individual. These are just some of the points that shape the management of the pandemic by the capitalist states.
Throughout the pandemic, the key issues that have dominated the public debate have been around public health, mental health and the effects of incarceration, the social exclusion of increasing segments of the population, growing class inequalities, the wider capitalist division of available resources, the role of science and technology, civil rights and the diminished role of bourgeois democracy in emergency situations.

southwestern France: Fire at a relay antenna in Renneville (Haute-Garonne)
Fire at a relay antenna in Renneville (Haute-Garonne)
On the evening of Friday 28 January on the heights of Renneville, a relay antenna set fire to itself as a sign of solidarity with all those arrested, accused in the fight against forced digitisation. The latest arrest on Wednesday 26 January in the investigation into the fire at the Les Cars antenna in Limoges left him no choice but to express his anger.
With no regrets.

Italy – 26th February 22, demonstration in Busto Arsizio, 3pm, Piazza Trento e Trieste
26th FEBRUARY – DEMO IN BUSTO ARSIZIO – 3pm, Piazza Trento e Trieste
WE DEMONSTRATE AGAINST:
THE GREEN PASS
The introduction of the “health” pass and its unlimited prorogation (as intended by the Draghi government) mean the definitive realization of surveillance society: a dystopian society where control on individuals becomes total through the digitization of all fields and activities of life and where rights and social services are granted only if you have the requisites of “good citizen” (not by chance it is run by the ministry of economy in Italy…), following the Chinese model of “social credit”. Even if the state of emergency ended, the green certificate or a variant of it (see the European Digital Identity) would be maintained if we don’t oppose it resolutely: the Green Pass is to be totally rejected, without ifs or buts!
OBLIGATORY “VACCINATION”
They started by introducing obligatory injection of “anti-Covid” experimental genic “vaccines” for some work categories (first health workers, then education workers, the police and the military), next they imposed it to age groups (for now the over fifties). In spring they will want to inject the serum to 0 to 5-year old children, as declared by the CTS (Technical Scientific Committee). Thus continues a military/vaccination campaign based on terror and blackmail, something else altogether than informed consent.
Enough with Obligatory Health Treatments or passed off as voluntary, in fact under the threat of making your life impossible!

CGL Pipeline work site attacked
Masked mob swarms Northern, B.C. pipeline work site, causes millions in damage
From Warrior Publications
British Columbia’s minister of public safety Mike Farnworth has issued a statement condemning the attack on the Coastal GasLink site.
“The RCMP is conducting a full investigation into this egregious criminal activity that could have led to serious injury or loss of life,” Farnworth said.
“The police report indicates that the workers’ camp was attacked in the middle of the night by unknown assailants wielding axes. There is no excuse for such violence and intimidation. All workers deserve to be protected from harassment and harm.”
Athens, Greece: Poster – Solidarity Demo at Korydallos Prison Saturday 26 February 2022
Call of Solidarity Demo at Korydallos Prison Saturday 26 February 1pm
“Battles have casualties. War has its casualties. But nothing is given to us, nothing is given to us without bloodshed because we reach out our hand. Nothing is won by prayers.”
Thanos Hatziangelou
On Tuesday 8/2, two comrades were arrested following an operation by the “anti-terrorist police”. The reason was the arson at the “Foundation for National and Religious Reflection”. In the house where they were arrested, “incriminating” evidence was found which, under the Terror Law, acquires a “criminal” character. Later, another comrade was arrested. All 3 were remanded in Korydallos prison, prosecuted under the Terror Law (187a) for their participation in the “Anarchist Action Organization”, arson at the “Foundation for National and Religious Concern” and other charges. Comrade Thanos Hatziangelou claimed responsibility for this particular arson and the findings in the house, Comrade Georgia Voulgari defended her choice of having a supporting role in carrying out the action, and Comrade Panos Kalaitzis, whose only connection to the case is his relationship with the house and his comradely, friendly and collegial relations with Th. Hatziangelou, denied all charges.
The war against the state and capital is unceasing, unrelenting and multifaceted. The struggle for equality, freedom and solidarity may have losses, but it will be victorious because justice is on our side.

Announcing a new multilingual anarchist book distribution
Announcing a new multilingual anarchist book distribution
Rupture – Multilingual anarchist book distro
https://rupture.noblogs.org/
The passion for freedom, as well as the firmness to refuse any attempt to commercialise it, has led us to create this space to host a catalogue of books by different anarchist publishers. Written or translated, edited, and printed autonomously, these publications aim to give a concrete and coherent reference to the analyses, history, struggles, and experiences that have – and continue to – nourish our anarchist projectuality.
Our selection will not be exhaustive but will gradually increase. One will not find every title from the anarchist heritage, as it is not our intention here to create a supermarket of anarchist ideas, theories, or perspectives – not necessarily because we are not interested in all the forms this can take, but because we are in love with the idea, proposal, and practice of subverting the world of authority without delay. The freedom that we stubbornly seek is against any political strategy, suspicious of democratic consensus, and refractory to submission. So, this selection, available to all, carries the explicit intention of proposing, deepening, and refining anarchist practice that aims for
social revolt, without mediation, without compromise, without anything to offer to the reform of this world.
At a time when perspectives of social revolution seem frozen in a sea of deliberate confusion, resigned fear, calculated catastrophes,
technological colonization, and authoritarian hysteria, we relaunch, even more obstinately, the words in these books about and for struggle, to invite their readers to sail towards new and unknown horizons of freedom, autonomy, solidarity, conflict, joy.
This book distribution offers publications in English, Dutch, and
German, available for single orders and for other distributions.
For anarchy!
Italy and Germany : From Rome to Bialystok, passing by Berlin

From Rome to Bialystok, passing by Berlin
What has an anti-anarchist operation in Italy got to do with Berlin?
Operation “Bialystok” took place in Italy on 12 June 2020. Yet another attack on the anarchist milieu, adding to the long tradition of state attacks against rebellious structures and individuals. Main 
actors in this “operation” are two prosecutors and their snoops from the ROS – the “Group for Special Operations” (acronym: ROS), the only Carabinieri investigative body with jurisdiction over both organized crime and terrorism. With a clenched fist and a lot of clumsy detective work, they have been trying to establish personal connections of comrades and completely monitor “suspects” for months since the book launch of “The Anarchists of Bialystok” (which was translated into Italian in early 2018) and the arson attack against a Carabinieri barracks in the same year. This produced a small mountain of files, filled with lots of imaginative information. And yet – it may sound absurd – the result of these investigations was that on the day of the “operation” five arrest warrants and two house arrests were executed. As a result, the arrested comrades were in custody for 9 months. The last one to be released recently, Claudio, was in custody for 13 months and the mostly in solitary confinement. But if it had been up to the ROS and the Roman prosecutor’s office, the scale of this operation would have been much more drastic and larger. Because the intended goal of the investigations became clear only by the meticulous evaluation of the currently available files.
