Paris: The enemy is here
Paris: The enemy is here
Our enemies are not the other exploited but the bosses and the state. We reject all nationalist and Common Front appeals, even if we recognize the horror of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But Putin did not become a dictator on February 24 because the Western media and leaders condemned him. The dictatorship has always been there, Russia and its vassal Belarus have always been police states. It was enough to look at things and not do anything. The brutal repression of all popular demands, opponents murdered, tortured and imprisoned…
We think of our anarchist comrades, like Ilya Romanov who spent long years in jail or the two young Russian companions recently sentenced to several years in jail for dynamiting a political police station – in a video game! We also think of the 2020 revolt in Belarus, when the inhabitants of this country wanted to overthrow the dictator Lukashenko. Dozens of people were killed by the police, hundreds tortured, thousands imprisoned to the indifference of Europe. While they wanted to have the upper hand in the geostrategic games, the Western governments never condemned the Russian police state which on the contrary has always been an important economic partner. Société Générale, Total, Engie, Renault, the Auchan group… it is also with French money that Putin’s dictatorship has prospered, it is with this money that the army that today massacres civilians and threatens nuclear disasters has been financed.

Hambach forest,Germany : sabotage of engines in sand quarry
In the Kieswasche Buir antenna of the Rheinische Baustoffwerke, 6 or 7 working engines (digger excavator and others types) had their windows smashed, cables and pipes cut and some messages against concrete and it’s devastating role in the growing of civilization, and for anarchism have been left.
Indeed, their gravel and sand are used for concrete and other building materials but they also propose their services to other enterprises to get rid of their mineral waste. The link with the RWE coal mine next to the forest is more than possible. Plus, this antenna have been built by destroying living places of all kind of species.
All of them, reasons to attack !
End civilization, for anarchism

Απεργία πείνας του Δημήτρη Χατζηβασιλειάδη 11-18/3 : Αλληλεγγύη με τους πολιτικούς κρατούμενους σε Ελλάδα και Τουρκία Στις 13 Μάρτη θα συναντηθεί ο Μητσοτάκης με τον Ερντογάν. Η κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη πριν 2 χρόνια ακριβώς, στις 19 Μάρτη 2020, φυλάκισε 11 επαναστάτες από την Τουρκία, ως αντάλλαγμα για το κλείσιμο των τούρκικων
συνόρων στους μετανάστες. Οι 11 συναγωνιστές καταδικάστηκαν από ελληνικό δικαστήριο αποκλειστικά με βάση την ευρωπαική λίστα «τρομοκρατίας», συνολικά σε 333 χρόνια φυλάκισης. Στην προηγηθείσα συνάντηση του Τσίπρα με τον Ερντογάν, στις 4 Δεκέμβρη 2017, η ελληνική κυβέρνηση δώρισε στο τούρκικο φασιστικό καθεστώς, τη φυλάκιση 9 αγωνιστών που βασανίστηκαν κατά τη σύλληψή τους και απελευθερώθηκαν μετά από 18 μήνες. Το ελληνικό και το τούρκικο κράτος είναι καλοί συνεργάτες ενάντια στην επαναστατική πάλη των λαών. Το ελληνικό και το τούρκικο κράτος είναι συνέταιροι στην πρώτη γραμμή του ΝΑΤΟϊκού ιμπεριαλισμού. Η τούρκικη στρατοκρατία αποτελεί την αιχμή της ΝΑΤΟϊκής τρομοκρατίας στη Μέση Ανατολή, τη Μεσόγειο και τη Μαύρη Θάλασσα.

Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW)
Make Tattoo Not War (MTNW) is an international campaign supporting people affected by the war that began with the Russian army’s invasion of the so-called Ukraine in February 2022.
The war conflict is driving people from their homes, destroying their facilities, causing numerous injuries, traumas and deaths. The MTNW campaign seeks to raise funds for those who are deeply affected by these issues.
At the heart of the campaign is an informal network of various individuals dedicated to tattooing and willing to donate the money for their artwork to a common solidarity fund. The fund will then be used to help specific people in need.
Athens, Greece: Update from the trial of P. Georgiadis, E.M. and M.T.
On 2 March the trial of the imprisoned militant Polycarpos Georgiadis, accused of “illegal possession of explosives for the commission of a crime”, and of comrades M.T. and E.M., who were charged with misdemeanor charges, took place.
Dozens of comrades gathered on the 4th floor of the Loukareos building in solidarity, with the prosecutors putting on a show, allowing only a few of us to go inside the courtroom, or even in the lobby, on the pretext of the pandemic. They then tried, unsuccessfully, to bring back the issue of the OLA (Popular Fighters Groups) notice found on the P.G’s computer and present it as authentic.

Hamburg,Germany : Incendiary attack on the car of former police spy Astrid Oppermann
via: Zündlappen Translated by Act for freedom now!
——————–
It was a joy to set fire to the car of Astrid Oppermann near her Winterhude apartment in Maria-Louisenstieg today.
Astrid Oppermann spied on the autonomous scene in Hamburg as an undercover investigator under the name Astrid Schütt from 2006-2013. She was a regular active participant in the autonomous general assembly, helped prepare the autonomous congress in Cologne, she went to the protests against the world climate summit in Copenhagen, was involved in the mobilizations against the conference of interior ministers in 2010 and the protest against the so-called “Day of the German Future” in Hamburg in 2012.
Italy – Texts and materials distributed during the initiative of 26/11/21 at Bencivenga plus Alfredo’s and Juan’s contributions
via: infernourbano Translated by act for freedom now!
We receive and publish a series of texts and materials distributed during the initiative in solidarity with Chilean prisoners, which took place at the Occupied Bencivenga on 26 November 2021. Two pamphlets: one about the hunger strike carried out by prisoners in Chile, the other is a collection of texts, many translated by the magazine Kalinov Most, which aimed to better focus the topics of the debate: the specific reality of Chilean prisons, solidarity, the struggle against prison. There are also two contributions by Juan and Alfredo for the initiative, which they asked to be circulated.
UNTIL THE DESTRUCTION OF THE PRISON-SOCIETY
(A leaflet introducing the debate handed out during the initiative)
This initiative was born out of the need to send, in our own small way, a gesture of solidarity to the prisoner comrades in Chile, who in the first months of this year undertook two tough hunger strikes. We want to support them, also through the translations in the pamphlets prepared for this meeting, by spreading the determination with which they have carried out the struggle inside the prison, with the aim of feeling it closer to us who are outside those walls and far from those territories. Although at the end of their mobilisation the prisoners did not get everything they demanded, it did allow them to build and forge bonds of complicity, both inside and outside the prison. These bonds have made this struggle cross barriers and borders and, since it has clearly positioned itself against all forms of coercion and domination, thus making itself recognisable and reclaimable by rebels all over the world.
Spoleto, Italy : We won’t enlist
WE WON’T ENLIST
The war has finally arrived. After two years of preparations for war, chants, flags, discipline, the «we are at war» announced since spring 2020 is finally real. The tragic news coming from Ukraine is the trigger they were seeking for the definitive militarization of our society.
Wars are always a bloodbath for the exploited and profitable business for the bosses. We are not interested in the contrasting reasons of the propaganda made by the belligerents. The exploited in Russia as well as in Ukraine, Italy and the United States are our brothers, their blood is our blood. Governments, generals, businessmen, financiers are our enemies, our executioners, those who starve us.
The arrogant insatiable thirty-year old NATO expansion and Russia’s internal crisis were the mixture for the explosive situation which we find ourselves thrown into. On the one side, a long series of imperialistic precedents such as the bombardments in Serbia, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the support of criminal gangs such as those ruling Ukraine, where trade unionists are burnt alive; on the other, regimes such as Putin’s and Lukašenko’s, which hold together with the glue of encirclement paranoia and imperial nostalgia, where anarchists and opponents are arrested and tortured. In the face of all this filth no front is ours. Our enemies are not the exploited on the front, but all rulers, starting from those in our country.
Santiago, Chile: San Miguel prison. Milena Cartes: a new State murder, a new death in prison
publicacionrefractario
After the extermination of 81 prisoners in the San Miguel prison in 2010, the State decides to set the facility up exclusively for women prisoners. The painted ramparts and the woman guards never change the meaning of the prison: the extermination of the prisoners.
Tower 5 was the place where years ago smoke and fire burned in the crematorium ovens of democracy. On January 29, 2022 in that same place, Milena Cartes (50 years old), a prisoner for several months awaiting trial, suffered severe abdominal pains. After days of asking for medical attention and the apathy of the jailers, her situation began to worsen drastically. Her fellow prisoners protested for her to be taken to the doctor, but the guards took her to the prison hospital. Due to the seriousness of her situation, she was transferred urgently to the Barros Luco Hospital.
