GLONASS on board! (Genoa, Italy)

The Glonass system, comparable to the American GPS, is a Russian global navigation satellite system used for tracking and tracing. It is also used as a back-up or support positioning system, which can provide a faster fix and greater accuracy than GPS.
This device was found in our car. It was connected to the power supply of the control unit underneath the steering wheel on the left-hand side and had been placed there with a magnet, insulating tape and a heating cloth. It consists of an antenna (QC in the photo) connected to a multi-frequency positioning receiver box containing a micro SIM card. On the same side, a long cable ran along the inside of the internal side pillar linings of the windscreen to the underside of the roof of the car. All on the driver’s side. At the top of the cable were two microphones.
Glon-my-ass!

Athens,Greece: Taking responsibility for the arson attack at the house of Giannis Pretenteris (Greek journalist)

As part of the Cells of Immediate Action, Cell of Insurgent Violence, we take responsibility for the arson attack at the entrance to the house of Giannis Pretenteris.
We were not surprised by the condemnations of the bourgeois political parties, of ΕΣΗΕΑ (Journalists’ Union of the Athens Daily Newspapers) , of the government representative. Giannis Pretenteris has proved at every possible opportunity that he is the most loyal mastiff of the corrupt economic and political elite that has ruled this place with arrogance and impunity all these years. Pretenteris symbolizes a person – a model for the urban world. His position in the system, the posts and tasks he has been called upon to carry out follow a double path that ends in the same one.
One is that which makes its appearance in front of the cameras of the TV channels. Striking, dominant, strong, subsidized, constructed. The Pretender is a shining example of a tireless propaganda machine called upon to represent state and capitalist interests and to shape a social ethic, the ethics of the system. This ethic that is always presented with the dictatorial face of the social majority, in order – practicing psychological warfare techniques –  to strike with the stick of dominant class violence and order with audacity those who harm the interests of the powerful. Dissemination of fake news, constant attempts to manipulate citizens, slander, character assassination are on his daily agenda. At the same time, his ideological profile, which can be described as “modernising” by the standards of the hardline neoliberal centre, is the official television representation of political power and the most ruthless economic interests. For Pretenteris there is an inviolable rule: Moral and legal is what suits and serves the system of power that supports him. Illegal and unauthorised is what threatens his interests.

Narbonne (Aude), France: cable fire puts trains on hold

On Monday 26 July at around 11pm, a fire broke out along the tracks of the TER between Narbonne (Aude) and Nissan-lez-Enserune (Hérault), next to an electrical substation, destroying cables but also damaging the technical room.
The result? Since 11pm on Monday, “hundreds of trains have been affected”, says the SNCF, including the total halt of regional traffic all morning on Tuesday between Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) and Montpellier (Hérault). At the national level of TGV and Intercity trains, “trains departing from Paris for Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales) this Tuesday morning will either be cancelled or limited”, explains the SNCF, and journeys departing from Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône) or Barcelona (Catalonia), initially via Montpellier and Toulouse, will also be affected.

Chile: Anarchist Prisoners Mónica and Francisco: Against Sectarianism. For an Affinity Supported in Practice. en/it/es

Facing what we see as direct interpellations towards us, the need arises to write this text to make clear the issues.
As we have written on several occasions both individual and collectively, we understand anarchy not as an embodiment or place of arrival, but as a tension, a permanent confrontation in the first personm putting at the center the search for individual freedom. For us, this constant struggle has been real, which is why we find ourselves today behind bars. This situation has not prevented us from continuing to participate in struggle initiatives both inside and outside the jail.
In short, anarchy for us is an ethics and a permanent practice against authority, a practice in which we have met with others (not necessarily “anarchists”), enriching and enhancing our visions and capabilities, as well as forging close relationships of complicity, strengthened in the course of years and confrontation. To designate that these relationships can only be established with those who are called “anarchists,” apart from being a fallacy that can only be believed by those who have not ventured to travel the paths of the conflict and spend their time in front of the computer, is something that we reject from the moment when we prioritize establishing links over repeating empty slogans until you get enough. To self-identify as “irreducible anarchists” does not mean anything without being accompanied by a confrontational practice that sustains it.

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against the company Sodexo + Claim by the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”

Missed from 01/06/2021
On May 11, at 9:00 p.m., unknown persons arrive on a bicycle at Pérez Valenzuela and Antonio Bellet, in the Providencia district, where a building of the SODEXO food concessionaire is located.
After leaving a suspicious package, they quickly escape, and a few minutes later there is a loud explosion that destroys part of the windows of the building.
GOPE, Labocar and the South Prosecutor’s Office arrived in the area to investigate the attack, which left no injuries, only material damage.
Claim of the “Revolutionary Cells Nicolás Neira”.
OUR COMMON MINIMUM: INSURRECTIONAL ACTION
Since March 22 different subversive and anarchist prisoners have been on hunger strike to demand the repeal of Legislative Decree 321, the freedom of comrade Marcelo Villarroel and the prisoners of the revolt. In this scenario of anti-prison struggle we point out:
1. During the night of Black May 11 and prior to the curfew we detonated an explosive device in front of the SODEXO company for its responsibility in the daily misery that tortures thousands of prisoners in the prisons of the Chilean democracy.

Contribution of Alfredo Cospito from the AS2 section of the Ferrara prison for the cycle of presentations “Guerrilla and Revolution”

Torino, 18 May  2021
It may be due to the fact that I will spend a large portion of my remaining life in a prison, that lately I feel inclined to “necrophilia”, to “historicize” what has just been. After all, the last action claimed ‘Federazione Anarchica Informale – Fronte Rivoluzionario Internazionale’ in Italy was “just” a year ago. Usually we historicize the things “dead”, past, but in me the fear that everything that has been deleted or worse, distorted, has taken over. And I say this with the conviction (maybe I’m wrong) that the FAI-FRI has exhausted its vital charge and has passed the “baton” to something more essential, the revolutionary campaigns. Campaigns that, from one continent to another, relaunch revolutionary solidarity, not by an organization but by groups and individual comrades who never need to know each other personally.
Dynamic alive, linear process as effective in the world goes by the name of “Black International” and that in fact does not even need the coordination, there is no need to meet, to know each other personally. The anarchists of action usually neglect the historical introspection, the anarchists who postpone the violent action instead tend to exhume distant experiences that are more unlikely to give rise to criminal retaliation and “imitations” in today. “It was a different time …”, this phrase still rattles in my head repeated to me as a boy endless times by anarchists / and more conscientious, anarchists / and other times precisely …

CZECH REPUBLIC: FINALLY THE PHOENIX IS DEAD

After more than two years, the verdict for the four anarchists and one environmentalist is acquittal, only one of them was recognized guilty for small offenses, and the court dropped from his punishment.
The main charges concerned the support and promotion of the Network of Revolutionary cells (SRB), insurrectional anarchism, as well as blackmail and harm of others property. SRB focused several years on sabotage of the property of police and capitalists. So far, no one was convicted and condemned for these actions.
