Roseville Office Attacked In Solidarity With Atlanta Forest (usa)
Responding to the call from comrades in Atlanta for an 21/8/18 day of action in solidarity with the struggle to defend the Atlanta forest; vandals broke into the office complex housing Corporation Service Company’s (CSC) regional office in Roseville, a suburb of Minneapolis. After smashing the office door and throwing cans of paint inside, a message was left sprayed across the front: HANDS OFF THE ATLANTA FOREST.
Demands are being made for CSC to drop their client, Blackhall Studios. Blackhall Studios would like to level the South Atlanta Forest to build the country’s largest soundstage and an airport, creating unprecedented levels of gentrification in the city.

On 17/9/21 the second degree trial of anarchist comrade Marios Seisidis will take place at 1 pm at the Loukareos Courts (Athens,Greece)
On Friday 17/9/21, at 1pm on the 6th floor of the Loukareos Street Courts, the second degree trial of comrade Marios Seisidis continues for the armed robbery of the National Bank of Solonos Street in 2006.
During the perpetrators’ escape, the state dogs did not hesitate to shoot into the crowd, resulting in the wounding and arrest of anarchist Yannis Dimitrakis. Subsequently, Marios and Simos Seisidis and Grigoris Tsironis were declared wanted and later put on bail for 600.000 €. After almost a decade on the run the 3 wanted comrades were arrested in different places and times. Simos lost his leg to a cop’s bullet in Tauros area in Athens, Grigoris was arrested in Volos during a raid by the SWAT team (during which Spyros Darvilas took his own life, free) and Marios in the Peloponnese together with Kostas Sakkas. Whereas Simos and Grigoris were acquitted in this case, Marios was sentenced in the first instance to 36 years’ imprisonment as the state mafia had already been irreparably damaged by the acquittals of the other two on the run. With this trial the circle of this case is closing and we must defend the legacy of resistance and solidarity that he leaves, as well as the comrade himself so that he does not remain at the mercy of state repression. Solidarity is our weapon.
EVERYONE AT THE COMRADE’S SIDE
NO HOSTAGE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
Athens, Greece: Anarchist place (steki) at the Agricultural University : Burn the State Database
The case of the 14 comrades of the occupation of the rectorate of the Polytechnic university does not only concern them, but all the fighting parts inside and outside the faculties. This is because it is an upgrade on the part of the state, in terms of the ways of methods and repression.
The state, having yielded to the university police, is using its usual tricks, namely frame-ups and false accusations. Through these, it calls on the comrades, under the pretext of their alleged identification, to compulsorily hand over their DNA. This practice adds them to the state databases, putting them in a state of indirect hostage-taking and terrorism, as their DNA can now be used in future frame-ups. This move, through fear and example, is intended to inactivate struggling individuals and criminalize the means that have always been in our quiver.

Italy – I could but I don’t want to

I could but I don’t want to
I could convince myself that all nuclear power plants are reliable. But I don’t want to. I still keep Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Chernobyl, Fukushima in mind… As the earth becomes contaminated for ever, the usual characters in power tell us that there is nothing else to be done.
I could consider wars as something necessary to defeat enemies that seem invincible. But I don’t want to. All the deaths caused by conflicts between the States have only strengthened their domination on individuals through genocides, massacres and famines.
I could brood over freedom of choice. But I don’t want to. In the world of progress for the rich and regression for the poor, what is called freedom of choice would be more appropriately called freedom to consume as much as possible it seems to me.

WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THOSE WHO LEFT AT THE HANDS OF THE STATE (GREECE)
Eight years have passed since the day the Golden Dawn nazi murderers killed Fissas. But fascism is still out there and lurking. It is still pressing on supposed ignorance and poverty. Always with the system and capitalism as its ally. In the current situation with the pandemic and the criminal management by those in power, the fascist groups are back on the streets, amidst fermentations that are taking place in the nationalist area. The struggle against fascism is a struggle against fear.
Anarchists are not asking for victories or defeats against the fascists through the civil courts. Fascism is being crushed in our everyday life, in the squares and in the streets.
FOR A WORLD WITHOUT EXPLOITATION, BUT OF SOLIDARITY AND FREEDOM
AND THIS YEAR WE WILL BE IN THE STREETS TO HONOUR PAVLOS

The Local Kids Issue 7 – A compilation of texts, a contribution to a correspondence between those who desire anarchy and subversion.
Population management is now supposedly the responsibility of everyone. Obedience to the state has been dressed up as solidarity. More surveillance is called freedom. All in the name of a return to normal life that appears as a mirage in the desert. Should we rehash for the umpteenth time a comparison to 1984? Its author might have thought that it takes a continuous and considerate effort to see what’s right in front of your nose; can we truly say that? Is it difficult to see what’s going on? Or is it that we speak different languages and will find no common understanding of life?
We could jump into the fray, unveil their lies, battle for the real meaning of words, uphold a correct perception of reality. But then we would be entering the realm of politics where we can only fight with words without radically changing the narrative. A stubbornness that can have its value to demonstrate the absurdism of society. But only by refusing to do politics can we challenge the power of this system over our lives. That also means that we cannot pretend to have solutions at hand for the crises we’re passing through. The existence of capitalism is based in the progressive destruction of the living conditions of all living beings.

Issue 9
Dear readers,
The latest issue of the paper L’Urlo della Terra is about to come out and we hope we’ll have it ready for distribution in mid-July.
We ask you to support us, if you can, earlier than the usual time required for dispatching the paper and sending a contribution. This will help us to meet the not small printing expenses and those for distributing the paper in Italy, abroad and among not a few prisoners.
Contact us also for a wider distribution of the paper in your area: libraries, circles, info centres… and for benefit initiatives.
We are available for presentations and discussions on the contents of the paper, in public and open places where good thought is nourished.
Warm greetings and thank you
The editors
