Bologna, Italy – 2nd August and State massacres   

Banners and leaflets at the August 2 demo in remembrance of the massacres at the station of Bologna
If our solidarity with and closeness to the families and friends of the victims of State massacres is absolute and reconfirmed, precisely on a day like today, it is impossible to remain silent about the presence of characters who embody the State’s brutality rather than justice. The State massacre in the jails in March 2020 was filed away as an episode of mass overdose. This demonstrates both that the lives of those who are inside are really worth nothing for the institutions and that massacres are still a habitual practice for states in order to frighten those who rebel.   Continue reading Bologna, Italy – 2nd August and State massacres    →

Italy: Against the State and its massacres Anarchist comizi in the streets of Trieste, autumn 2020

PDF
Translator’s note
Against the State. Well? For an anarchist these words are clear and simple, a prerequisite of anarchy you might say. But what if, rounded off with ‘and its massacres’, they are plastered on colossal city walls in posters and echoed forcefully in the shadow of a church by a stirring old man with a beard, microphone in hand? Who is this individual who dares bare his soul to the respectable citizens of Trieste?
He is an anarchist who has come together in affinity with others like him on this precise subject, united for a moment in their need to make themselves heard, say the truth to the winds in that city whose sea breezes have not yet swept away its lingering austerity, legacy of the old Austro-Hungarian empire of which it was a prominent part.

NEITHER COMMAND NOR OBEY
ATTACK AND DESTROY ALL FORMS OF POWER
Here we are, once again, reaching unthinkable places in CONFRONTATION against all forms of power and authority. Yes, all forms of authority, including that which disguises itself as revolt and “revolution” trying to bring the struggles toward new and old ways of taking, controlling or constructing power. With clear anti-authoritarian conviction we tirelessly shout: neither command nor obey! Attack and destroy all forms of power!
In this new special issue, we continue agitating against and reflecting on elements of reality that we feel are important to view from an anarchist perspective, far from all dogma, rigidity or idealization. We hope that you like this new issue and that you receive it as a contribution to the propagation of the anarchist tension among diverse individuals, groups and territories.
ABOUT THE EXTENTION OF CONTROL AND THE RESPONSE TO THE REPRESSION
Using the statistics from a new wave of cases in the COVID-19 pandemic to their advantage, the Chilean state managed to extend the “State of Catastrophe” into the month of June 2021. With this, the curfew and military presence – on top of the police presence – remain in the streets, something that we already experienced throughout the previous uprising and the pandemic. And so we arrive at a new period of repressive and sanitary management of the pandemic marked by the failed attempt to force schools to restart in-person classes, the start of vaccinations and the implementation of measures which restrict mobility, oblige confinement and punish disobedience. Punishments which, as we have seen, are imposed unequally in a society marked by privilege and the impunity of those who have historically held power.

CHILE : EL VIENTO TRAE BUENAS SEÑALES POR MÓNICA CABALLERO


via:anarquia.info

Mientras escribo esta reflexión en el día que se cumple un año en el que el Estado chileno secuestro a Francisco y a mí, escucho las voces de compañerxs que se manifiestan afuera de la cárcel. Al otro lado de los barrotes, las rejas y los muros, hay manos y corazones inquietos accionando por quienes estamos dentro de las jaulas del capital. En esta ocasión, no solo llegaron hasta mi sus gritos, también recibí un panfleto ¡El viento trajo un hermoso e inesperado regalo! ¡Bella propaganda anarquista!

Para quienes hacemos o hemos hecho acciones de propaganda antiautoritaria, muchas veces no dimensionamos las consecuencias que pueden tener estas en otras personas. En un principio el objetivo de cualquier propaganda es entregar un mensaje, el que idealmente incite o inspire a otrxs a actuar en contra del actual sistema de terror. Pero, tal vez, el/la receptor de este mensaje no actué, no le haga efecto aquel llamado y siga como un espectador pasivx. En ese caso, vale la pena preguntarnos ¿Quizás la propaganda no fue lo suficientemente efectiva?, ¿Qué es lo que lleva a un individuo a enfrentar lo que lo domina? Como de la misma manera ¿Qué lleva a alguien a vivir pasivamente en un mundo de mísera y opresión? Continue reading CHILE : EL VIENTO TRAE BUENAS SEÑALES POR MÓNICA CABALLERO →

(Thessaloniki Greece)Information from a gathering of solidarity with D. Hatzivassiliadis and his transfer to Korydallos prison in Athens.

The anarchist comrade Dimitris Hatzivassiliadis passed on Thursday 12/08 in front of an investigator and prosecutor at Thessaloniki Court, supporting his actions based on his conscription policy and his political choice to expropriate a bank, due to his condition of illegality and survival as a fugitive. There has not yet been a decision on the length of his sentence. Some people in solidarity gathered outside the Courthouse, banners were hung, fliers were thrown and anarchist slogans were shouted. The forces of OPKE and MAT (Units for the Reinstatement of Order and special division of the Hellenic Police,)  had blocked all the entrances-exits around the perimeter of the building, as a result of which any live communication of the comrade with the people of the gathering was not possible.
As of 09/08/2021, the fighter was detained at the Thessaloniki Police Headquarters under the pretext of quarantine and could not receive any visitors and it was impossible for him to receive his basic items. This is a result of the wider strategy of the state, which tries to isolate captive militants and cause difficulties in their living conditions. Although they had informed the comrade that he would be quarantined for two weeks at GADTH, today, Friday 13/08, he was abducted at 6am without even receiving his things – while their receipt was scheduled for later the same day – and without knowing where he was being transferred.
From the latest information from people close to him: The comrade has been transferred to Korydallos to the underground wing of the women’s prison and is again in isolation.
Do not leave him alone in the hands of the state.
Strength and solidarity with the captured anarchist fighter Dimitris Hatzivassiliadis.

Solidarity with Boris : Bure (Meuse)

A few days before the beginning of the Rayonnantes camp, we send all our solidarity to Boris, imprisoned in Nacy-Maxéville since september 2020.
Boris was imprisoned in the context of repression against the wave of incendiary attacks on relay antennas, in his particular case those of the Mont Poupet, which Boris claimed. You can read his declaration here.
A few days ago, a fire started in Boris’ cell and he was transfered to Metz hospital. You can find a communique about his situation here.
You can also find more information on the procedure here.
Our struggles against this energy-consuming world, that pushes the commercialization and artificialization of the world, from Cigeo to relay antennas, are the same.
Our struggles for freedom and autonomy stand against every prison.

Statement for the Week of Solidarity by Thomas Meyer-Falk

To argue and fight for a society free of domination can lead to people being thrown into the dungeons of the respective regimes. There, the bodies are to be locked up in the tightest of spaces and the resistant spirit put in chains, forged against the bare concrete walls.
Those who are not willing to submit face a long, a very long time behind bars. But it is weeks of action like now in August 2021 that forge a bond between the people in front of and those behind the prison walls. A bond between people whose hearts beat for liberation and for freedom.

Greece: About the anarchist comrade Dimitris Hatzivassiliadis arrested on 9/8/2021

The comrade D. was given a deadline to apologize tomorrow 12/8/21 , at 11am. We call for a solidarity gathering  outside of the Courts building s in Thessaloniki
Solidarity with the fighter D. Hatzivassiliadis
Fire to the fire of power!
in solidarity
[Athens] Banner in solidarity with Dimitris Hatzivasiliadis

On the 9th of August, 2021, fugitive comrade Dimitris Hatzivasiliadis was captured in Thessaloniki. To send a message of power and solidarity with the captured comrade, we hung a banner of solidarity in Athens.
Today at 10.00 morning  11/8/21, the comrade will go through an investigation. No alone in the hands of the state! Everyone at the solidarity gathering at the Court of Thessaloniki at 10.00.
—————–
According to the regime 9.8.21, the arrest took place in Thessaloniki. We must not leave it like this. There must be information through his own people (close comrades, friends, lawyers) so that we do not leave him alone in the hands of the State, without knowing his movements.
SOLIDARITY…
Update 10/8/21
After a telephone communication with the comrade D. Hatzivassiliadis, he is fine, they have not transferred him to Athens, they have still got him in Thessaloniki, maybe today he will go before a prosecutor. People in solidarity in Thessaloniki need to mobilize and stand in solidarity in the event that they are passed before a prosecutor or investigator there.

Italy – Words from anarchist comrade Anna Beniamino

We are publishing a text by Anna Beniamino from the women’s prison of Rebibbia:
AN IMMORAL FAIRYTALE
Anarchists read a lot and write even more, perhaps this is because of some excess of book culture which shouts at the top of its voice about ethics, while they find it difficult to understand it and forget to apply it in the reality of everyday life. And… as soon as they realize the mistake has been made they write more pages and pages (it is not clear whether for private use or for a selected audience) redundant with rectifications which sound even more shaky and hypocritical than declarations during trials, when not amusing in their anxious contradictions.
I don’t enjoy acting the moralist locked up between four walls, but as I recognize that certain silences risk being filled with others’ chatter, I think it is the case to dwell upon a curious phenomenon of inversion of sense and references in speech, a phenomenon which is two years old and not yet clarified.

Italy – 5G: Rete della società cibernetica [5G: The cyber society network] – Silvia Guerini, Costantino Ragusa – Asterios Editore

5G: Rete della società cibernetica by Silvia Guerini and Costantino Ragusa, Asterios Editore, a series of militant leaflets, no. 56,  4.90 euros, 48 pages, July 2021
This short essay seeks to highlight the deep social, ontological and anthropological transformations which will derive from the G5 network and from the society that is structuring itself thanks to it. The 5G network is not the simple development of the previous 2G, 3G, 4G and is something more than greater speed in transmission of data: besides being faster, it will allow more connections at the same time and the simultaneous passage of data with practically zero delay. These are essential characteristics for the development and voracity of artificial intelligence, which will progress thanks to data extrapolated from the digital world. Data which, before being grabbed and captured by algorithms, were our lives, our feelings, our body in the flesh, now product and producer of its own surveillance on a large scale.

EN/ FR/ IT/ GER/ GR / ES: An anarchist prisoner in coma.. in France

receive 8.8.2021
Our comrade Boris, in prison in Nancy-Maxéville since september 2020 for the arson of two relay antennas in the Jura during the lockdown, is currently in artificial coma at the burns unit of the hospital of Metz. The fire would have started around 6:30 am in the cell [where he was placed alone in detention ] saturday 7th of august.
The only certainty is that prison is an institutionalized torture system, and that the State -from police to justice to prison -, is directly responsible of this situation.
May sadness turns into rage against all authority …

Notre compagnon Boris, incarcéré à la taule Nancy-Maxéville depuis septembre 2020 pour l’incendie de deux antennes-relais dans le Jura pendant le confinement, est actuellement plongé en coma artificiel au service des grands brulés de l’hôpital de Metz. Le feu aurait pris vers 6h30 dans la cellule samedi 7 août.
La seule certitude est que la prison est un système de torture institutionnalisée, et que l’État -de la police à la justice jusqu’à la prison-, est directement responsable de cette situation.

Il fuoco avrebbe avuto luogo nella sua cella verso le 6,30 di sabato 7 agosto.
La sola cosa certa è che la prigione è un sistema di tortura istituzionalizzato e che lo Stato – dalla polizia alla giustizia fino alla prigione – è direttamente responsabile di questa situazione.

Unser Gefährte Boris, der seit September 2020 im Gefängnis von Nancy-Maxéville inhaftiert ist, weil er zwei Funkmasten im Jura angezündet hat, liegt derzeit in der Verbrennungsstation des Krankenhauses von Metz im künstlichen Koma. Das Feuer soll am Samstag, den 7. August, gegen 6.30 Uhr in der Zelle [in der er allein inhaftiert war] ausgebrochen sein.

Sicher ist nur, dass das Gefängnis ein System der institutionalisierten Folter ist und dass der Staat – von der Polizei über die Justiz bis hin zum Gefängnis – für diese Situation direkt verantwortlich ist.

Γαλλία: Ο αναρχικός κρατούμενος Boris βρίσκεται σε κώμα
Ο σύντροφός μας, Boris, ο οποίος κρατείται στη φυλακή της Nancy-Maxéville από τον Σεπτέμβρη του 2020 για τον εμπρησμό δύο κεραιών στη Jura κατά τη διάρκεια του lockdown, βρίσκεται αυτή τη στιγμή σε τεχνητό κώμα στη μονάδα εγκαυμάτων του νοσοκομείου του Metz. Φαίνεται πως ξέσπασε φωτιά στο κελί του (όπου κρατείται μόνος του) γύρω στις 6:30 το πρωί του Σαββάτου 7 Αυγούστου.
Το μόνο βέβαιο είναι πως η φυλακή αποτελεί ένα θεσμοθετημένο σύστημα βασανισμού, και πως το Κράτος -από την αστυνομία και τη δικαιοσύνη ως τη φυλακή- είναι άμεσα υπεύθυνο για την κατάσταση αυτή.
Η θλίψη ας γίνει οργή απέναντι σε κάθε εξουσία…

Gap [Hautes Alpes], France: About an attack on a vaccination centre

via: attaque.
source : bxl.indymedia
Gap. City centre. Night of the 1st to the 2nd of June 2021. Individuals break down a door at the back of a theatre converted into a vaccination centre. The door is easily broken open and they find themselves in a long corridor, which leads from the left to other rooms. A door on the right is not locked, it opens on a large room, where presumably vaccinations take place. Hastily, piles are made with the furniture that is present. Bottles of alcoholic gel are added to the petrol. A flick of the lighter, the whole thing catches fire, and the silhouettes disappear into the night. The whole thing lasted only a few minutes, enough to destroy a good part of the building.
It was a rather symbolic act, since another centre opened the same day, and according to what we know from the press, the attack of the same kind in Nyons [Haut de France] a few weeks earlier only caused a slight delay in the opening, which was quickly resolved. This shows the need to look for the heart of the monster rather than attacking all its tentacles, but let’s move on.

Grande-Synthe (Nord), France: Goodbye to the municipal workshops

via: attaque.

La Voix du Nord / Wednesday 28 July 2021
There is nothing left of the municipal workshops of the town of Grande-Synthe after the fire that broke out on Wednesday night. All of the municipality’s maintenance equipment and around thirty vehicles went up in smoke. A criminal investigation is being considered.
The fire broke out between midnight and 1am on Tuesday night. Two intruder alarms were triggered successively. The fire then started at the back of the 2,700 m2 building. It spread at breakneck speed. When the fire brigade arrived (about fifty fire fighters were mobilised), the Grande-Synthe municipal workshops on avenue de Suwalki were completely engulfed in flames.
