For a long time, it has been an anarchist tradition to go to the jail on this day and start the new year with all prisoners and demand their freedom.
Sardinia,Italy – On Operation “Sibilla” by Sardinian Anarchists
On Operation “Sibilla”, from Sardinia
[Note: all the repressive measures inflicted on comrades struck by operation Scintilla were annulled by the court of review on 16th December 2021]
SEMPRI AINNATIS!
SOLIDARITY WITH THE RECALCITRANT!
“…The use being made of the charge of incitement, whether employed “purely” or as “garnishing” to other charges, is significant because it is aimed at breaking the link between revolutionary action and the propaganda of ideas that it inspires and supports, so as to push us to a watered-down adjustment in our convictions and our modes of expression…”
(Vetriolo, issue 6)
With these few lines we want to express all our solidarity and closeness to the anarchist comrades arrested and investigated following the umpteenth investigation from Perugia prosecutors which takes the name of “Operation Sibilla” this time.

GREECE: IN MEMORY OF ALEXANDROS GRIGOROPOULOS
On December 6, the anniversary of the murder of 15-year-old anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos, killed by a cop with two bullets in the back in 2008, there were numerous initiatives of struggle.
In the morning, a group of students opened the day; as night fell, a demonstration of thousands of people marched through the center of Athens.
The demonstration left at 18:00 from Propylaiea chanting slogans and heading towards the parliament and from there most of the demonstrators, the most prominent ones, went to Exarcheia, where at 21:00 there was a gathering at the memorial where Alexis was assassinated.

Thessaloniki, Greece: The time has come for my roar to be heard – Denunciation of sectarianism by the Biologica haunt
“Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! […] You have a fixed idea!” – Max Stirner
It’s been some time that I wanted my anger to be heard. An anger that awaited for its moment, so that it can be ready to be released from within me. If this denunciation won’t bother everyone, it will bother most, if not then it will bother a few. And for many reasons that I won’t analyse!
I have been active in the anarchist / anti-authoritarian milieu in Thessaloniki since September ‘21 and I was not pleased by many things and generally they do not express me. Because, as Renzo Novatore wrote, “I am an individualist because I am an anarchist and I am an anarchist because I am a nihilist.”
Nevertheless, I did not fall into the trap of dogmatism, I did not stop my activity just because most collectives and squats do not represent post-left anarchy, pure negation, direct action and informalism. Whenever and wherever I could, I showed my solidarity in practice, from participating in postering, to taking part in protests, and only out of personal desire because I was tired from complete isolation in Athens.
[Chilean Prisons] Taking responsibility. Excerpt from the declaration of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar
Original Published December 22, 2021 Translated by Act for freedom now!
Received 12/21/2021:
Extract from the judicial declaration of anarchist comrade Francisco Solar taking responsibility for sending explosive packages to the 54th station of the carabineros [Federal Police of Chile] and against the former Minister of the Interior, Rodrigo Hinzpeter in July 2019, action claimed by “Cómplices sediciosos/Fracción por la Venganza” [Seditious Accomplices/Vengeance Faction] and for the double attack on the Tánica building on February 27, 2020, in the midst of the revolt, action claimed by “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta” [Armed Affinities in Revolt].
(…) In November 2017, our idea was to move away from the big cities, mainly Santiago, because of its frenetic way of life, and to start a self-sustaining project. Although I opted for that way of life, I did not stop thinking that the most appropriate way to fight against an overpowering system based on authority and predation is through violent revolutionary action. Only from this is it possible to achieve moments of destabilization that, even if they are fleeting instants, reveal the vulnerability of power
In the middle of 2018 I decided to start pursuing that kind of action (…) Once I made that decision I started to think about some target, being clear that if I was going to take a great risk, the action had to be powerful. I thought of carrying out an action as a response, as revenge against people linked to repression and business power. Both criteria were fully met by Rodrigo Hinzpeter, who in 2019 was manager of the Quiñenco group, whose president is Andronico Luksc. Hinzpeter had also been Minister of the Interior under the first government of Piñera, leaving a trail of repression that will be difficult to forget. He harshly repressed social and student mobilizations, trying to pass a law marked by prohibitions of all kinds, known as the Hinzpeter Law. As Minister of the Interior he was politically responsible for the murder of young Manuel Gutiérrez, harshly repressed the social mobilizations in Aysén and Freirina, militarized the Mapuche territory, resulting in hundreds being wounded, many of them children, and countless prisoners.
Maule, Chile: Arson attack against the companies Áridos Bullileo and Asfaltos Maule
We denounce its complicity in the plundering of the environment, in all areas and in all corners of this territory called Chile.
The result of this action was the total destruction of :
3 truck mixers
2 hopper trucks
1 truck tractor
1 tractor
1 mobile sorting installation [the one in the picture above; NdAtt.]
1 backhoe
To make a long story short, an amount of 800 million pesos [about 835,000 euros at today’s exchange rate; NdAtt.] of damage.
Before October 18, 2019, [date of the beginning of the great social revolt in Chile; NdAtt.] the workers of the companies mentioned mobilized to demand better wages and treatment from the owners. After a month of struggle, the Vega-Ruiz family resolved the conflict by buying off the head of the union, a traitor, which led to the demobilization of the workers, and then proceeded to unjustified mass dismissals. The anti-union practices of these people are constant and are part of the corruption maintained by the labor inspectorate and the large companies in the region.

Breaking: Thanks to the comrade who alerted us to a necessary intervention into the supplement text we released a few days ago with Return Fire vol.6 chap.3: Ruby Katherine Montoya, the saboteur mentioned in passing in the text, has since the time of its writing been exposed as co-operating with the FBI against her co-defendant, and possibly more. It was already clear that, while responsible for important action, this was not what we would consider a comrade; but this information felt important to include. Hence, we’ve updated the text (also on theanarchistlibrary.org) and are now reposting the corrected file here, including the imposed version.
Additionally, we did not notice that an error during the PDF compression process wiped the graphics out of various pages of Return Fire vol.6 chap.3 itself. This has now be amended, both in the reading version and optional separated covers for re-printing, with corrections to a couple of other errors we spotted too late. Apologies for our sloppiness.
More in the pipeline.
T&S FUR FARM RAIDED, RABBITS LIBERATED DURING CHRISTMAS. 25th December, UK.
Received anonymously via email:
“Whilst everybody was getting drunk and partying on Christmas Eve, we broke into T&S. They are still going, still torturing rabbits, still murdering them “for their meat” and making bank selling their fur.
The place is disgusting. The smell of rotten flesh is a permanent feature in the farm, and the rabbits show all kinds of illnesses, from mites and head tilt to lack of limbs.

18 to 20 years’ imprisonment for Belarusian anarcho-partisans
The sentence was announced today for a group of anarcho-partisans who held a series of direct actions against the dictatorship about a year ago. In an attempt to isolate the activists, the trial was held in camera and only the pronouncement of the sentence was made public.
Sentences:
-
Siarhei Ramanau – 20 years
-
Ihar Alinevich – 20 years
-
Dzmitry Rezanovich – 19
-
Dzmitry Dubousky – 18 years
Enormous sentences for symbolic actions are an example of the dictatorship’s fear of anarchists. So far, these sentences are the longest in the history of political repression in the country.

Bavaria,Germany : Police relay antennas burned
Bavaria: Police relay antennas burned
translated from German to French from de.indymedia, 17 December 2021
During the night of 13.12. we set fire to two transmission antennas of the Bavarian Criminal Police Centre in Nuremberg.
There are countless reasons for hating and attacking the police.
The main mission of the police is to keep the existing social status quo in place. This means that police officers are paid to ensure the preservation of an exploitative, racist, sexist social and economic system based on the exclusion of minorities. It is their job to defend profit and the dominant position of the powerful in this system against any attempt to change in the direction of social justice, equality, redistribution or environmental sustainability. The police thus share the ideology of inequality in which LGBTQIA+, migrant, poor or disabled people are worth less than others, so are systematically denied access to basic and equal rights. By their very function, the police are necessarily conservative and politically right-wing.
In the media, political and legal spheres, the police are attributed inexistent neutrality and expertise, which is supposed to allow them to describe events or judge situations objectively. In fact, they are a political operator who openly acts against those they consider the embodiment of their enemies (people considered to be deviant, those who aspire to social change, or migrants), and are also given the sole right to interpret their attacks.
