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.

[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 …
Friends, accomplices and comrades of Boris,

Nancy/Metz : Boris dans le coma
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.
Que la tristesse se transforme en rage contre toute autorité…

Nancy/Metz : Boris in coma
Il nostro compagno Boris, incarcerato nella galera di Nancy da settembre 2020, per l’incedio di due ripetitori di telefonia mobile, nel dipartimento del Jura, durante il primo lockdown, si trova attualmente in coma indotto nel reparto grandi ustionati dell’ospedale di Metz. 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.
Che la tristezza si trasformi in rabbia contro ogni autorità…

German:
Nancy/Metz : Boris ist im Koma!
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.
Lass Traurigkeit in Wut gegen jede Autorität umschlagen…

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…

Nuestro compañero Boris, detenido en la cárcel Nancy-Maxéville desde el mes de septiembre 2020 por haber incendiado dos antenas de telecommunicación en la región de Jura durante el confinamiento, se encuentra actualmente puesto en coma inducido en la unidad de grandes
quemados del  hospital de Metz. El incendio se habria propagado sobre las 6:30 el sabado 7 de agosto en la celda [dónde estaba encerrado
solo].
La única certeza es que la prisión es un sistema de tortura

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.

Chile: Words of comrades Ignacio and Luis, accused of sending an explosive package to the police station in Talca

09/06/2021
It is difficult to start writing when my heart and mind are still in turmoil. The only thing I long for is a fraternal embrace, the sunlight and its warmth on my skin, and the only thing I have here is cement, cold, humidity and stench.
Perhaps it will be easier for me to leave by thanking: First of all my blood family who, far from all essentialism, have made me and my brother feel loved. Thank you for your sincere support. In 2nd place, to all the comrades and related who are “moving” outside, in some gesture of solidarity. In these moments everything helps and, as well as my family, thank you for your honest support.
Now, for those who wonder about it, I say: YES. Our prison is political. As political as any prisoners’ prison in this system. I would delve into more “theoretical” issues, but this is not the time.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN CUBA? AN ANARCHIC LOOK AT THE 11-J PROTESTS.

ES: ¿QUÉ PASA EN CUBA? UNA MIRADA ANÁRQUICA DE LAS PROTESTAS DEL 11-J.

——————–

-Interview with comrade Gustavo Rodríguez (First of three parts)
These days we have received a torrent of statements generated in the mass disinformation media about the recent protests in Cuba. On the one hand, there are those formulated by the Cuban officialdom and the leftists of the world in the name of anti-imperialism and in defense of what they still call the «Cuban revolution», on the other hand, there are the traditional right-wing media that accuse the «communist dictatorship» of the lack of freedoms and rights.
The Cuban Communist Party and its international acolytes call for solidarity with the regime, arguing that they are facing a new intervention of «Yankee imperialism» which is taking advantage of the disastrous economic conditions caused by more than sixty years of blockade and the greatest health crisis in its history. While the supporters of the free market and the right-wing forces claim that what is happening in the country is the result of its citizens’ oppression due to the lack of opportunities in the socialist regimes.
In these times of post-truth we are suspicious of all these positions, but also, as anarchists, we are not only suspicious of these channels of manipulation but we identify positions that are contrary to our praxis and enemies of our desire for total liberation.
