Mont-d’Origny (Aisne): multiple sabotage against the Orange network (France)
Still no phone in Mont-d’Origny, the Orange network has been sabotaged in several places
Aisne Nouvelle, 30 June 2021 (extract)
For about ten days, many homes in the district were without an Internet connection. If this is bearable for a few hours, it becomes complicated to live like this for several consecutive days. Fortunately, the network came back on Monday during the day. It turns out that the breakdown is linked to several acts of malice. “I got information about the problem. Orange told me that there had been acts of sabotage in several places on the network. There were wires cut with pliers,” explains Gérard Allart, the mayor.
What is more serious is that, at present, the inhabitants, although they have access to the Internet again, are still unable to use the fixed telephone network. Here again there has been damage. “The telecom wire was cut in two places on one line, for example,” continued the mayor, who spoke to the employees who worked in the municipality. “They told me it was deliberate. They showed me the footprints on the electricity poles. The people went up and cut them”, the mayor lamented.

Italy: Number 6 of the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo has come out IT/EN
Our seventh issue (including issue #0) sees these columns return, in many ways, to our classic format. Nine months ago, the unprecedented release in the form of a wall-newspaper (issue 5) was part of our need for communication and a proposal for an instrument to break, materially, the pandemic home isolation; a sheet of paper, a cry on the wall to pierce the silence of the curfew. But the project of “Vetriolo” has always been in a laborious sowing of analysis and provocations, suggestions and insights, the study and understanding of the existing, against the commonplace and the foolish boast of ignorance, in order to its negation, its destructive overcoming in a revolutionary sense.
And so we have returned to dealing with history and philosophy, economics and politics, analysis of the present and dissection of the future. Starting from our first page, which wants to be, in its brevity, an immediate attack to the politics of National Unity – a horrible concept for internationalists.

ITALY: IN SOLIDARITY WITH NAT AND THE PRISONERS OF SANTA MARIA CAPUA VETERE
THE PRISON KILLS EVERY DAY.
WITH NATASCIA ON HUNGER STRIKE.
WITH ALL THE PRISONERS AND INMATES OF THE PRISON OF SANTA MARIA CAPUA VETERE
In the Santa Maria Capua Vetere Prison on July 6, 2020 hundreds of inmates were MASSACRED by the guards, at the behest of the director Elisabetta Palmieri and the Campania penitentiary administration director Antonio Fullone and the then Minister of Justice Bonafede.
In the footage that we are seeing on TV these days, an unprecedented violence seems to emerge: we see prisoners made to kneel, with their hands behind their heads and their heads leaning against the wall. The guards with covered faces inflict head-butts with helmets, slaps, blows with truncheons on legs and back. And then kicks, and more kicks even against those already lying on the ground.

Solidarity fund for the imprisoned anarchist comrade Giannis Dimitrakis. (Greece)
Since 24/05, our friend and comrade, anarchist political prisoner Giannis Dimitrakis is being hospitalized at Lamia with heavy injuries from the murderous attack against him at Domokos prison. At the very moment, it appears that Giannis has overcomed the danger of the first hours. The injuries that he sustained however, have caused multiple hematomas in the head that influence basic functions of his brain.
On the murderous attack against anarchist comrade Giannis Dimitrakis
Since 24/05, our friend and comrade, anarchist political prisoner Giannis Dimitrakis is being hospitalized at Lamia with heavy injuries from the murderous attack against him at Domokos prison. At the very moment, it appears that Giannis has overcomed the danger of the first hours. The injuries that he sustained however, have caused multiple hematomas in the head that influence basic functions of his brain. On Sunday 30/05, many of us gathered outside of the hospital of Lamia. We shouted slogans just a few meters away from his bedroom window to express our solidarity, even though Giannis could not hear us. Since then, his state seems to be improving. For his health to be fully restored, however, continuiing monitoring from specialized medical personell is required for several months. It is obvious that such care cannot be given in the prison environment.

The comrade has been in prison since September 14, 2012, following the repressive operation that led to his arrest and that of another comrade, both accused of having shot and wounded Roberto Adinolfi, the CEO of Ansaldo Nucleare, on May 7 of that year in Genoa. The action, claimed by the Nucleo Olga of Federazione Anarchica Informale – Fronte Rivoluzionario Internazionale (“Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front”), was then claimed individually by the two comrades also during the first degree trial held in Genoa. The comrade had been imprisoned in Ferrara’s AS2 since 2013.

GREECE: STATEMENT BY ANARCHIST GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS AT THE COURT FOR THE ARRESTS IN AGIA PARASKEVI
Once again I face a tribunal that I do not accept to judge my decisions and my actions. I have already stated my position on the State, capital, the established order of inequality and the widespread enslavement and exploitation of people and nature, the gradual transformation of the planet into an immense prison for every living thing. I have opposed the laws that sustain the murderous State order, both in word and deed. I have tried to be consistent in my position vis-à-vis law and order every time I have been dragged into the dock by the organs of its enforcement, not participating in the hypocritical process of every trial that always pretends to validate the State’s control over life and liberty.
I have paid the price of my choices by spending almost 8 years of my life inside penitentiary institutions, which are the centre of the social panopticon, the fear to discipline society and the tool for the reproduction of crime in terms of integration into the dark capitalist economy. Where in the name of the Law the walls suffer a generalized injustice. There in the grey zone of the law where the bones and souls of people are smashed to be thrown away morally and economically broken with no choice but to feed the prison monster with their despair. Providing the perfect alibi for the supposed necessity of the law and the building of the State of society. Of course, the outrages, which, if revealed, are labeled isolated incidents, are actually structural elements of the system and take place under the control or supervision of various officials and servants of the State, the «corrupt» and those who passively tolerate them so as not to jeopardize their positions or careers.
ITALY: RALLY AT SANTA MARIA CAPUA VETERE PRISON IN SOLIDARITY WITH NATASCIA SAVIO
Natascia, an anarchist prisoner, went on hunger strike on June 16 to oppose her transfer to the Santa Maria Capua Vetere prison.
She has been transferred several times since her arrest in May 2019, in addition to having her correspondence censored and various other forms of internal pressure. It is evident the will of judges and jailers to distance and isolate her from the solidarity of those who support her from outside and to undermine her determination.
This last transfer takes on an even more indicative value since it occurred in the proximity of the beginning of the trial for Operation Prometheus that has Natascia together with 2 other comrades, accused of having sent explosive packages to the then director of the DAP and to the two public prosecutors Sparagna and Rinaudo.

CHILE: PALABRAS DE MÓNICA CABALLERO DESDE LA CÁRCEL DE SAN MIGUEL.
Compañerxs, amigxs y familiares:
Nuevamente les escribo desde una celda. Me encuentro recluida en la cárcel de San Miguel, durante 14 días permaneceré aislada por protocolo de prevención de contagio al COVID-19, posteriormente me clasificarán y me llevarán a un módulo definitivo.
Ya son casi 10 años desde la primera vez que pisé la cárcel como
imputada. Durante estos años mi vida de alguna u otra manera, siempre ha estado ligada a las prisiones, si bien los sistemas de control pueden cambiar, pero su estructura esencialmente no, se sigue buscando el castigo y el arrepentimiento.

Surplus oder KonsumterrorDokumentarfilm, ca. 50 Minuten, Englisch mit deutschen UntertitelnSamstag 3. Juli, 21:00 UhrEine primitivistische Collage welche auf provokante Weise die Leere, den Wahn und auch die ihr zugrundeliegende Ausbeutung der Warenzivilisation aufzeigt; – ebenso wie die der falschen Alternativen des Staatssozialismus, welche der gleichen Lächerlichkeit preisgegeben wird. Ein Zeitzeugnis der frühen 2000er Jahre, welches die Notwendigkeit der Zerstörung dieser Scheisse aufzeigt und als Dokument des radikalen Flügels der Antiglobalisierungsbewegung immer wieder sehenswert ist… Yeaah! |
Surplus. Terrorized Into Being ConsumersDocumentary, around 50 minutes, english with german subsSaturday 3rd July, 9p.m.A primitivist Collage that shows in a provocing way the emptiness, the insanity and also the exploitation underlying the commodity civilisation… as well as that of the false alternatives of state socialism, which are held up for ridicule. A testimony of the early 2000’s that shows the necessity of destroying all that shit and is as a document of the radical wing of the antiglobalization movement allways worth a view… Yeaah! |
Abschaffung der Polizei?DiskussionMittwoch, 7. Juli, 19:00 UhrWir wollen über das gegenwärtig immer breiter diskutierte Thema der Abschaffung der Polizei diskutieren und dabei auch den Punkt ausleuchten, ob und inwiefern Abschaffung und Zerstörung vielleicht sogar ein Gegensatz sind…? |

Falsche Kritiker von links und rechtsDiskussionSamstag, 10. Juli, 20:00 UhrWir wollen an diesem Abend in Augenschein nehmen, wie linke und rechte Akteure sich in der derzeitigen Situation aufstellen und inwiefern durch diese falschen Gegensätze gerade dem der Boden genommen wird, was sich jenseits dieses politischen Geschwafels und Demonstrierens abspielen könnte. Denn weder die Wiedereinführung der alten, noch die gerechte Verwaltung der neuen Normalität kann jene befriedigen, die wirkliche Freiheit wollen. |
False critics from left and rightDiscussionSaturday, 10th July, 8p.m.On this evening we want to have a look at how leftwing and rightwing agents position themselves in the current situation and inhowfar through this false opposites the ground is taken away for something that could play out beyond this political brabbling and protesting. Because neither the reintroduction of the old, nor the just management of the new normality can satisfy those that want genuine freedom |
