LIVADEIA-ELIKONAS: Sabotage vol 3
SYMBOLIC SABOTAGE AGAINST THE PLUNDER OF NATURE
We decided once again to make a symbolic gesture and throw a wind mast in the Laka batheti deep position next to the Motsara peak of the helicon. We note that this installation is added to a series of about 50 wind turbines (some of them can be seen in the video).

Words by Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar at the beginning of the trial.
July 16, 2023
In the next few days will begin the culminating phase of this long judicial process that has kept us in prison for the last 3 years. This oral trial should not take very long insofar as Francisco assumed responsibility for the actions, politically vindicating each one of the attacks. However, everything indicates that the prosecution will spare no effort and resources to achieve all possible aggravations, making this instance the precise moment in which Power will come down with all its brutality.
These 3 years have meant the strengthening of ties of affinity and solidarity with various anarchist spaces of this territory and other distant ones, as well as being part of the coordination of anarchist and subversive prisoners raising multiple initiatives of struggle together with a clear anti-prison perspective. In short, these years have meant facing life in prison with dignity, never ceasing for a moment to be an active part of the informal anarchist galaxy, constantly trying to break with the exclusive role of “prisoner” to which Power tries to delimit us.
Words From Comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva
July 16, 2023
Dear comrades: as incredible as it may seem to you, I have as yet had neither the desire, nor the ability, nor the will to sit down in front of a machine to (re)-announce my (re)-return to this frenetic world… in any case I have the will to share these brief words.
Be that as it may, finally the truth prevails, and their gray state officials should have recognized that they have kept me KIDNAPPED for many more years than what their “democratic” laws and rights commonly and ordinarily announce.

Words of Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners in Struggle in the Chilean Prisons
July 11, 2023
Monica, Francisco, Joaquín, Juan and Marcelo Speak.
– Our emphasis, challenges and urgencies:
– 50 years after pinochet’s civic-military coup, his juridical legacy shamefully endures in the heavy sentences of the military court for comrade Marcelo Villarroel.
-In the context of the beginning of the trial of power against comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, domination does not cease to take vengeance against those who go on the offensive attacking their untouchable impunity.
Since we constituted ourselves as a space of collective affinity, 3 years ago, among comrade prisoners of the social war in struggle and resistance inside the prisons of the Chilean state, we defined that our priority was and is to seek freedom as a point of rupture with the daily normality of the existant and its prison society that locks us up as punishment for our unrenounceable decision to fight for total liberation.
In this journey and indissoluble encounter of anarchists and anti-authoritarian subversives, who are the living reflection of revolutionary struggle through practices of minority violence in Chile in the last decades, we have faced our long stay behind bars in the different moments and places we have had to pass through with fortitude and conviction. That is why, with the necessary clarity demanded by our position of life in struggle, today we want to share our unavoidable urgencies and from here we call for permanent mobilization, active solidarity, and Insurrectionist complicity.
Words of Comrade Lucas Hernández 6 Months After the Arrests for the Gendarmería Case
June 26, 2023
“For me, there was no alternative to freedom except death. I didn’t conceive of the term prison or jail as anything but a synonym for death…” Juan José Garfia
Months go by without much of anything new, inserted in this stronghold of the underworld, which is silenced and hidden. It is difficult to understand that your movement is guarded and limited at every moment. It is easy to nourish myself with hatred if my eyes see daily officials, abuses, bars and uniforms in this implanted and repugnant routine, which overwhelms and suffocates.
But that does not paralyze or torment. Neither their punishments nor their decorated clothes make me doubt my ideas and position towards this system of domination. In this process I have had the good fortune to live and experience political imprisonment with various comrades. Supporting each other, but we will not always be together, nor close, nor prisoners. Anti-prison solidarity has brought us together.

A dance with time. Greetings, year seven
Greetings from nowhere.
“Freedom is secured not by the fulfillment of one’s desires, but by the removal of desire.”
– Epictetus
My journey into clandestinity began 7 years ago today. It was July 10, 2016, the sun was heating up the city and for most of the people I met that day it was just another Sunday. For me, that day was both an end and a beginning. Giving up my old and beloved reality of life, replaced by the great unknown variable. Leaving the old behind me, welcoming the new. A painful and overwhelming start of the journey… From then on I was confronted with the unknown every day, resembling a person who has lost their sight from one day to the next and now has to focus on their other senses.
I wandered around, looking for anchor points, and after long months, with patience and persistence, finally regained my bearings. My life was back on track, or so I thought… What had to come was coming. The next big shock hit me and once again life held its instruction manual in front of my nose; leave the old behind, welcome the new. Clandestinity is a rigorous study full of hardships, but the fruits of it will be a lifetime harvest for me.

Number of the day: 89,502 preventive surveillance measures
Among the tedious publications that the French state releases every year to offer a semblance of democratic veneer is the annual report of the Commission Nationale de Contrôle des Techniques de Renseignement (CNCTR), the body created in 2015 to monitor the proper use of spying measures deployed by these agencies. The release of its 2022 Annual Report on June 15 may have passed somewhat unnoticed, but it’s still worth extracting a few bits of information. All the more so since the report details the official array of surveillance measures carried out on their own initiative, upstream and as a preventive measure, by all the intelligence agencies, leaving us to imagine how this expansion can then be translated into additional prolonged surveillance in a judicial rather than administrative framework (in the form of opening a preliminary investigation or inquiry, which the person who is targeted will not immediately be aware of).
To begin with, let us remind you of the list of agencies concerned by the following figures, which are the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE), the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure (DGSI), the Direction du Renseignement et de la Sécurité de la Défense (DRSD), the Direction du Renseignement Militaire (DRM), the Direction nationale du Renseignement et des Enquêtes douanières (DNRED) and the Unité de Traitement du Renseignement et Action contre les Circuits financiers clandestins (Tracfin), plus the so-called second-circle agencies, namely the Direction du Renseignement de la Préfecture de Police de Paris (DRPP) ; the Service central du Renseignement territorial (SCRT, ex-RG), the Sous-Direction de l’Anticipation opérationnelle (SDAO) and the Service national du Renseignement pénitentiaire (SNRP). It should also be pointed out that these figures are, of course, the tip of the iceberg, i.e. those recorded within the “legal” framework of supervision by the CNCTR, and not the raw reality in all its complexity, which is obviously greater.

20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged – Appalachia
An invitation and reportback from a productive fourth of july party
On the fourth of july, 20 machines across 6 sites of the construction of the mountain valley pipeline were sabotaged, using a variety of means to render them inoperable. Machines are often left unguarded, and when they’re not, the security are just prats. It was easy and fun. We gave a big cheer when these machines were seen being hauled off the mountains back to the industrial hellscapes they come from.
“Since the new far-right government of finland believes hunting to be ”a valuable part of finnish life” and plans to strengthen and expand hunting rights, we decided to take direct action. We used the bright night of Summer Solstice to destroy several hunting towers and other equipment in southern finland.
There is nothing valuable about a hobby of murdering animals. We wish all hunters plenty of accidents.
Solidarity to all political prisoners!”
Patras, Responsibility claim for an incendiary attack
by Incendiary Memory & Rage Cell
“We are all doomed if our ugliness becomes a habit”
High prices. Poverty. Misery. War. Total capitalist onslaught. State assassinations. “Workers’ accidents”. Femicides. Anti-immigration policy.
The reality that we, the class and social lower strata are experiencing is characterized by an all-out attack by the state – capital – patriarchy against us. We are just one month from the state mass murder of hundreds of migrants in Pylos, four months from the state-capitalist crime in Tempe that was dubbed an accident, three years from the murder of our comrade Vassilis Maggos by the cops, the uniformed minions of power, in the city of Volos, targeted for his unquenchable militant existence.
At a time when people are losing their lives waiting for a non-existent ambulance, cops are shooting and killing 16, 19, 20 year old Roma kids, immigrants, poor people, allegedly in danger and self-defence, applying the racist doctrine of “first we execute and then we evaluate”, a la USA, where once again the toothless public fire protection proves inadequate, resulting in vast tracts of land being burned, hundreds of animals being killed directly or indirectly as their natural environments are destroyed, people watching a lifetime’s work go up in flames, where everyone and everything is measured in money, in compensation, wages, a bonus, a net of money thrown at the plebians, this suffocating reality testifies that the state and capitalist barbarity and violence are constant.
The seas are full of migrants’ bodies
On 14/6 a fishing boat carrying hundreds of migrants sank off Pylos, most of whom drowned in the sea. A few hours later, the civilian co-operator started to blame the shipwreck. However, we know who is solely responsible. This mass murder bears the stamp and signature of the Greek state, which for several years now has made repatriation, xenophobia, racism, dehumanisation and death politics its flag, regardless of who administers it.
The participants in this crime are a bunch of housecitizens who are not bothered by the hundreds of corpses washed up by the much-publicised sea of the Greek tourist industry. Instead they call for blood every time they hear of poor devils crossing the Greek border. But let those who dream of murders and corpses of immigrants understand that the fascism and conservatisation of society is a phenomenon that not only turns against everything that is considered foreign and different, but instead flattens every aspect of everyday life.
Poster for the state murder of migrants in Pylos, which was posted up in the centre of Athens:

Message from the prison:
We would like to express our gratitude to all the Comrades from collectives, political groups, hangouts, squatters/occupations, individuals, from Greece and abroad, including Europe and America, who responded to our call for financial support regarding the health problems of our relative.
We are deeply thankful for the support we have received, as the current situation has significant implications not only for our family but also for us as political prisoners. It is important to note that we are facing this challenging time while our detention, resulting from the action of the Revolutionary Struggle, continues. Despite this, we would like to acknowledge that one of us, Nikos Maziotis, has exceeded the parole limit and could have been released.

My sisters and my brothers. Those of you who are fighting against the military machine of the European imperialist class today. Those of you who have not forgotten the slaughter of the Algerians in Paris 60 years ago. Those of you who are struggling so as not to live like slaves until death. Those of you who went with bare hands in front of the lines of the killers, for water, for the land, for the community and the freedom. Those of you who revive the spirit of Louis Blanqui. The youth of the Commune. You thunder deep into our hearts to us, the captive guerrillas all over the earth. The confrontation will continue to become more and more violent day – day. Capitalist culture has no future. We give all our existence to build proletarian – social autonomy and armed power.
Long live revolutionary anarchism.
Long live the international.
Ahead is the rebellion.

Sorelle e fratelli miei. Voi che oggi combattete contro la macchina militare dell’ordine imperialista europeo […]. Voi che non avete dimenticato il massacro degli algerini a Parigi 60 anni fa. Voi che state lottando per non vivere come schiavi fino alla morte. Voi che avete marciato a mani nude davanti alle file degli assassini a Sainte-Soline e altrove, per l’acqua, per la terra, per la comunità e per la libertà.

FOREST ANTI-SPE DAYS #4
ANIMAL RESISTANCE, SPREAD THE DESTRUCTION
JOIN US FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION, AUGUST 17-20 2023, HAMBACHER FOREST
We send these words to our comrades, known and unknown, those who feel in their hearts that the death of speciesism needs fierce and uncompromising resistance, outside organizations of every sort, without wishes of reforming this wretched civilization.
Those looking for legalistic campaigns, vegan savourism or cop-hugging pacifism are in the wrong place. These days are about attacking human supremacism and its world, its technologies and ideologies, all the cages that attempt to oppress us – and which we can empower each other to escape.
