Extract from Bremen, Germany: Anti-militarist attack on the Kaefer Group – Switch-off the system of destruction

14 November 2024

Anti-militarist attack on the Kaefer Group

Fire against Kaefer! Sabotaging the arms industry. What is destructive must be destroyed.

On the night of November 9-10, 2024, at the headquarters of the Kaefer Group in Bremen-Walle, we set fire to two company vehicles. The vehicles were well away from the building and other vehicles, so there was no danger to people. Kaefer is a global group based in Bremen. According to its own information, Kaefer is mainly active in the fields of industrial plant insulation, access technology, surface protection, fire protection, electrical and mechanical services, marine interior design, offshore industry and construction.
With research and sabotage we want to show that the destruction and exploitation of the earth is inextricably linked to the destruction and exploitation of people.

The pursuit of power, control, resources, economic growth and national greatness is expressed in the global trend towards armaments, war and fascism. The election of Trump, the rise of fascism in Germany and many other countries is an expression of this, but the same trends are reflected in the policies of “liberal” government. While who holds parliamentary power has many practical consequences for our lives, it is important to recognize and attack these tendencies. Therefore, we focus on those, like Kaefer, who benefit from war politics and enrich themselves through militarism and racist oppression. We have the greatest possible empathy for the pain of people who have to live under constant war.

And we are always on the side of those who fight for freedom.

Everywhere, regardless of state, nation and religion.

Against war, fascism and the destruction of the earth, for the social revolution!

Our thoughts are with the bereaved, injured and fugitive comrades in Greece. Sending you love and strength!

Solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en and all those resisting destruction!

Switch-off the system of destruction – Switch off KAEFER!

Anarchists attack the riot police in Thessaloniki on the 51st anniversary of the 1973 student revolt (Greece)

17th of November is the day that the student revolt against the dictatorship – that took place in Athens, Greece in 1973 – is being commemorated. The 3days commemoration leads to a march at the streets of almost every city in Greece.

Decades later the commemoration of the student revolt continues with the participation of tens of thousands all over Greece, based on the fact that the anniversary has been linked with current politics, thus taking part in it is not just an act of remembrance of what the revolted students achieved at the time, but serves as a means of expression against current issues and policies imposed on the greek society. Based on the fact that on that commemoration day the marches are being heavily guarded by thousands of policemen, people react since they are there to honor those that resisted against the State oppression, only to be met by the Police State of our current time, creating a tense atmosphere where a riot may erupt at any time.

(Berlin,Germany) Intervention in Humboldt University at the event „50 Years ‚Μεταπολίτευση‘ -The Restauration of Democracy in Greece“

Intervention in Humboldt University at the event „50 Years ‚Μεταπολίτευση‘ -The Restauration of Democracy in Greece“

On 14.11, around 10 people carried out an intervention at an event in Humboldt University that was trying to instrumentalize the ‘73 uprising in Athens against the US-backed military junta. We interrupted the opening of the event with slogans and a banner. A statement was given and flyers were distributed. Everybody left safely.It might be of concern to taxpayers in greece, that the diplomatic corps in Germany is getting well payed for participating in classroom-sized events that hardly anybody else than their surrounding of corrupt establishment is interested in. At least the cleaning of hundreds of flyers in the event space might a tiny part of their earnings that evening.

Here is the text that was given out and read as a speech:

To the International Anarchist Movement: Three Security Proposals. EN/FR/EL/IT/PT/RU/ES/TL

This text is addressed to the international anarchist movement, which we’ll define as the sum of individuals fighting for anarchist ideas around the world. This movement is in conflict with its natural enemies — the State, fascist groups, and so on — and must protect itself if it is to survive in this conflict. In this text, we make three proposals for the international anarchist movement to consider in the coming years in order to allow anarchists to continue attacking while limiting their chances of getting caught.

1. Share knowledge internationally

Our enemies organize internationally through cooperation between police and intelligence agencies and new developments in science and technology — the increasing precision of DNA forensics and the proliferation of drones being just two examples. This means that a repressive technique used in one country may soon appear in another where it is not yet being used. It also means that an effective countermeasure used by anarchists in one country may be effective in another. We should therefore share knowledge of repressive techniques and countermeasures on an international level.

Ideally, any experience of repression or experimentation with countermeasures that might be of interest to other anarchists should be written up, translated into several languages, and made public. When anarchists are arrested and brought to trial, we can often obtain court documents that reveal how they were caught: we should exploit this and publish analyses of such documents, bearing in mind that information obtained in this way may be partial or distorted. We should experiment with new countermeasures and write and publish reports on these experiments (except in cases where the State might adapt and weaken the countermeasure by reading the report). We should try to collect information at the source: read police training manuals, steal police files, analyze data leaks from police servers.

urgent 15/11/2024 ,Transfer of comrade Marianna to Korydallos prison – Call for gathering in Korydallos (Athens,Greece)

The anarchist comrade Marianna, just one day after the second operation in a row that she underwent and while she had been a multi-injured patient for 15 days in the hospital of Evangelismos, was transferred to Korydallos this Friday morning.

The pressures of the anti-terrorist garbage, which work in close cooperation with the investigator who has taken over the case, resulted in the discharge of the comrade and her being taken to the women’s prison of Korydallos, where there is not even a hospital and therefore any possibility to provide her with proper care for her injuries.

We are making it clear in all directions, whatever happens to our comrade will have consequences and will not be left unanswered.

We call for a solidarity gathering for our imprisoned comrades Marianna M. D.Z. and D., on Monday November 18 at 18:30, at Korydallos prisons, with a gathering at Korydallos town hall.

For Kyriakos For Anarchy Fire to the world of power. en/es/el

For Kyriakos

How many conversations about the rebellion did we not have time to finish, how many friendly glances did we lose but also how many disagreements did we leave half way? Look, something happened that I never expected, you probably got tired of talking sitting on that step and decided to get up and never sit down again. It seems you heard the footsteps of the rebels and decided to follow them into the fire. You too took the step into History, along with all those romantic souls who chose to attack the horrible world of bosses, without fear of death, only with the beauty of violence.

And now all those frightened petit bourgeois, with their awful morals, will start talking hatefully about you because you escaped the future that awaits anyone who doesn’t break the chains of their lot. From now on, however, you will make them tremble because from a room there in Ampelokipoi a noise was heard so loud that it was able to break forever the quiet of social peace. They will try to bury you under the rubble of social oblivion but you will escape them once again on the paths of freedom.

The void of your loss seems huge right now, but whatever it is, it will be filled by all those moments you gave to those who knew you. It will be filled with all the words we wrote together for some text. It will be filled with all those moments when you came late to some of the meetings that we probably set early. It will be filled with all those times you bridged our differences so we could go down the road together. It will be filled with all those moments when we were side by side on some demo and you calmed our fears.

So we close our eyes to remember your face and then we see your smile, and we realize that it looks like all those rebels who looked death in the face because they were sure of the life they lived. And it is strange how much your look is similar, it will probably be because you know that this world does not work for us and you are smiling at us because you made the decision to change it. That’s probably how Ravachol must have been smiling as he walked towards the guillotine singing. That is probably why the smile of all those who cannot and will never be able to live a life like slaves should look like this.

But remember that one day we will destroy this rotten world of power and those who hear the sound of its crash will know that you also participated in its destruction.

Goodbye comrade, goodbye friend, we will miss your smile, but we will carry it with us forever on the roads of fire…

For Anarchy
Fire to the world of power
