Montréal Counter-info is Back

We are back from an involuntary absence of a few days due to the seizure by the Dutch police of the server hosting our site. The British police led this operation as part of an investigation into the 325 site, which was hosted alongside us on the same nostate.net server.
We want to express our full solidarity with the comrades of the 325 collective in the face of these repressive actions. You can read their statement here.

Switzerland : What remains is grief, anger and incomprehension (statement from zurich about the talk active ex-comrade)

What remains is grief, anger and incomprehension
This text tries to come to terms with the events surrounding the repression case in Zurich, in which a former anarchist fellow directed suspicion towards other people in his environment in order to clear himself. It is about repression, betrayal and other abysses.
What is it about?
In January 2019, a former companion was arrested in Zurich. He was accused of arson attacks on army vehicles in Hinwil in 2015 and on the Waidberg emergency radio station of the Zurich city police in 2016. [5] Before his arrest, the former comrade was under surveillance for months.
In prison, the prisoner submitted a written statement to the public prosecutor’s office without consulting his circle of supporters during the final interrogation, i.e. before the investigation had been completed. In this statement, he denied having anything to do with the arsons of which he was accused and directed suspicion to his friends and acquaintances.

Protests Break Out Across US Over Police Shooting of Daunte Wright (USA)

The Minnesota police murder of Daunte Wright reignited impassioned protests across many US cities Monday night — with a riot in Portland, Oregon, as hundreds attacked cops.
A second night of demonstrations boiled in Brooklyn Park, where the murder occured, while protesters gathered in other cities in a show of unity. Researchers were able to locate and publicly post the address of the pig who murdered Daunte, driving her from her home.
“Burn the precincts to the ground, in every city and every town!” chanted marchers in Portland.

#KillTheBill: Bristol legal support in the streets and in the courts (UK)

Bristol Defendant Solidarity is organising this fundraiser.
 People in Bristol standing up to unprecedented new police powers have faced immense police violence  since Sunday March 21st. The last week has seen police charging crowds with horses, releasing attack dogs on protesters, pepper-spraying people indiscriminately and physically attacking journalists. Those arrested will face harsh charges as the state seeks to make an example of them.

We believe that no one taking part in protests for social justice should face the system alone. If you do too, please donate.

Hidden behind the police statements branding demonstrators “a mob of animals” and the later-retracted claims of officers facing broken bones and punctured lungs, is the hard work of activists pushing for police accountability. Bristol Defendant Solidarity  (BDS) have been working for over a decade to support people facing police and state violence as a consequence for their activism. Now, we need your help.

We are aiming to raise an initial £15,000 with a stretch target of £30,000 to support people following Bristol’s #KillTheBill protests.

Avon & Somerset Police already have a long history of committing violence in our communities. The proposed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill currently making its way through Parliament would give police sweeping new powers  to criminalise protests, intensify the attack on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities way of life, and increase the harsh effects of the criminal justice system with longer sentencing. And while people take to the streets to oppose it, the police have cracked down hard on the demonstrations.

Depending on need, and in this priority order, we will use this fund to support those targeted by police in connection with the Kill the Bill protests by:

• Supplying money for legal fees not covered by legal aid.
• Paying any travel costs to court.
• Covering loss of earnings sustained as a result of attending court.
• Supporting legal cases made against the police.
• Helping pay rent to ensure they can return to their homes after any custodial sentences.

In the unlikely event of there being any money left over from this, it will be held by BDS to support people in a similar way in the future. Solidarity is our best defence.

In solidarity, Bristol Defendant Solidarity  (BDS)

Communique from 325 Collective on the Repressive Attack upon International Counter-Information (UK)- en/ gr/ it / fr/es/de

On 29.03.21 the Dutch police raided the data center that holds the nostate.net server, seizing the server itself as part of a criminal investigation into ‘terrorism’. Nostate.net is a collective that provided a platform for international movement websites from prisoner solidarity groups, multiple campaign collectives, anti-summit pages and international counter-information. Significant sites that used nostate.net as a platform that have been targeted by this repressive attack by the Dutch police are Anarchist Black Cross Berlin, Montreal Counter-Info, Northshore Counter-Info, Act For Freedom Now! (now re-activated on noblogs.org https://actforfree.noblogs.org/) and 325.
We as a collective are aware that this was not just an attack by the Dutch police, but was done in coordination with the Counter Terrorism Unit of the United Kingdom in connection with their recent repressive attacks upon the anarchist circles in this country. Not only have they been threatening ourselves, but recently threatened nostate.net unless they shut down our site. Along with this they demanded information be given to them of the identity of anyone involved in 325. The extent that the authorities will go to attack us and anyone they suspect of aiding us is of no surprise to us, the examples through history of state forces repressing anyone who dares to stand and fight them are numerous.
This repressive attack should be seen as an attack upon all
counter-information, on anarchist circles internationally. Under the present ongoing environment of Covid-19 and the repressive actions of states around the world, it is no surprise to us that they work together on an international level, the recent repression against anarchist comrade Gabriel Pomba da Silva, with co-operation between Spanish, Italian and Portuguese states, is a more than obvious recent example.

6 Months Undead. Liebig is Everywhere! (Germany , Berlin)

Six months since Liebig 34, as the constellation of the haus on the corner of Liebigstrasse and Rigaerstrasse, ceased to exist. Six months since years of struggle culminated in an eviction in the morning, a riot in the evening, countless other acts of solidarity -including an attack on the ringbahn which left it out of service for days- and ultimately the loss of a global symbol of anarcho-queer-
feminism.
But six months on and Liebig lives; in Bristol where last week a demonstration -following the kidnap and murder of Sarah Everard by a Metropolitican police officer- against gendered violence and a new authoritarian policing bill escalated into a night of violence against the police; in London where the same struggle resulted in the occupation of a disused police station; in Mexico City on International Women’s day, where militant feminists broke down the fence surrounding the National Palace and set fire to the riot cops‘ shields; in the last week in Berlin where the eviction of Meuterei and the ongoing threat to Rigaer 94, Potse, Koepi Wagenplatz and other projects saw demonstrating and attacks. With the haus gone Liebig is at once nowhere and everywhere.

Dutch police seized servers of nostate collective – 325 and Act For Freedom Now!, North Shore Counter-Info, Montreal Counter-Info and more other sites.. (EN/ IT/ GR/ FR/ ES/ DE/indonisian

Part of the nostate ★ net infrastructure was attacked in early spring 2021. At the investigation of British security forces, the Dutch police stole a server with two hard drives from a data center used by the platform. This meant that some of the projects could not be reached for days.
The aim of this attack was to prevent the anarchist collective 325 from being present on the web. The link archive version after the project name goes to the internet archive archive.org with the version last saved at the time of the state attack.

The extent that the authorities will go to attack us and anyone they suspect of aiding us is of no surprise to us, the examples through history of state forces repressing anyone who dares to stand and fight them are numerous.
This repressive attack should be seen as an attack upon all
counter-information, on anarchist circles internationally. Under the present ongoing environment of Covid-19 and the repressive actions of states around the world, it is no surprise to us that they work together on an international level, the recent repression against anarchist comrade Gabriel Pomba da Silva, with co-operation between Spanish, Italian and Portuguese states, is a more than obvious recent example.
Our minds cast back to the repression of Indymedia in Germany and Greece, as well as not so long ago the imprisonment of comrades involved in Culmine, ParoleArmata and Croce Nera Anarchica in Italy. Through time the anarchist movement internationally has had its modes of communicating to the people attacked with countless anarchist publications having their premises raided, comrades arrested and even publications being censored, even destroyed, such as in the not too distant past with Alfredo M. Bonnano’s ‘Armed Joy’ in Italy, even Conspiracy of Cells of Fire’s ‘The Sun Still Rises’ in Greece.
It is also no coincidence that this repressive attack occurs now after our recent publication of ‘325 #12 – Against the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions’. This publication that we feel hits to the core of what the states and capitalism are pushing forward, before and even more so now, under the cover of the Covid-19 pandemic, is a direct threat to their plans of subjugation, of robotosizing and automizing everything. Their attack has momentarily affected our distribution of the publication both online and physically, but it has inevitably failed. The technocrats that want to shape our world into one heaving technological militarized prison society are being exposed, not only by ourselves but by the already growing attacks internationally upon their infrastructure. This is what they fear, that this can grow and this is why they have come after us. From what we know, the police who are trying to hunt us down, they are relying upon tactics from their old repressive book of tricks, attempting to get others to snitch and shutting down counter-information. Ever since their ‘Operation Rhone’ aimed at attacking the anarchist circles in Bristol, they had only caught one person involved in an attack, but not anyone involved in the Informal Anarchist Federation or the other countless anarchist attacks.
Clearly they have not repressed any fire of rebellion as the riot, attack on the police station and burning of cop cars last month shows.
It has been silent for too long on this island of conformity, while the world outside starts to burn again, those embers are still glowing and we feel their warmth. More than ever there is an absolute need for co-ordination internationally between comrades, to attack directly this stinking corpse that attempts to resurrect itself, to further imprison us. Counter-information is an integral part of this international co-ordination, to allow those who want to act for freedom in this world to see the signals of complicity in every language possible, to speak the one language of insurrection and anarchy. There must be a re-energization of the international counter-information network, to once again become a threat internationally, after the repressive reaction that seeks to isolate anarchists from each other, not just around the world but even locally. The 325 Collective continue to move upon this path we already tred, even now we continue with our publication projects including a new re-print of ‘325 #12’, a new expanded issue of ‘Dark Nights’ and further projects for the future internationally. They will not silence or stop us and we will have our
revenge!
About the website, we do not know yet whether it will return, it is very clear to us that if it is resurrected as ‘325’ anywhere else online, that the authorities will immediately target it once again. This also means that we could put at risk any provider in the future, as well as put other counter-information and movement projects at risk of being shut down as happened with the recent repressive attack. Who knows where all this will take us? What we do know is that we are far from backing down, not one step back, in the face of the enemy. Maybe it might be best to revert to the traditional printed word, to see peoples faces, to speak words, to conspire. We will not say never to the site returning, neither to it re-manifesting itself as a new project, only time will tell.
For now, our absolute solidarity with the comrades of nostate.net & Act For Freedom Now! Along with all the other counter-info projects affected.
NOTHING IS OVER, THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!

Komunike dari Kolektif 325 terhadap serangan represif kontra-informasi internasional
By Palanghitam | Published: 2021/04/15
Pada 29 Maret 2021 pihak kepolisian Belanda menggerebek pusat penyimpanan data server nostate.net, menyita data server sebagai bagian investigasi atas tindakan kriminal ‘terorisme’. Nostate.net adalah kolektif yang menyediakan platform situs gerakan internasional bagi kelompok untuk solidaritas tahanan, berbagai kampanye kolektif, situs anti-KTT, dan  media tanding kontra-informasi internasional. Situs yang menggunakan nostate.net sebagai platform, yang  secara signifikan menjadi target serangan represifitas dari kepolisian Belanda diantaranya  Anarchist Black Cross Berlin, Montreal Counter-Info, Northshore Counter-Info, Act For Freedom Now! (saat ini coba diaktifkan kembali noblogs.org https://actforfree.noblogs.org/) dan 325.
Kami sebagai kolektif sadar bahwasanya ini bukan hanya sekedar penyerangan oleh polisi Belanda, tetapi merupakan tindakan terkoordinasi dengan Unit Penanggulangan Terorisme  Inggris karena  sehubungan dengan serangan represif mereka yang baru-baru ini terhadap lingkaran anarkis di kawasan Inggris. Tidak hanya mereka mengancam diri kita sebgai individu, namun baru-baru ini mereka pun mengancam  nostate.net, untuk munutup server. Bersamaan dengan tindakan ini, mereka menuntut informasi diberikannya identitas siapa pun yang terlibat dalam jaringan 325. Namun sejauh mana pihak kepolisian  menyerang kami dan siapa pun yang mereka curigai membantu kami bukanlah hal yang baru dan mengejutkan bagi kami, kami telah melihat melalui sejarah, kekuatan negara secara massif  akan merepresi siapa pun  yang berani berdiri dan melawan mereka.
Serangan represif  ini mestinya dilihat sebagai serangan terhadap semua orang dan tiap kontra-informasi di kalangan anarkis internasional. Dalam kondisi Covid-19 yang sedang berlangsung saat ini dibarengi dengan tindakan represif  berbagai negara di seluruh dunia, tidak mengherankan bagi kami bahwa mereka bekerja sama di tingkat internasional, tindakan represif baru-baru ini terhadap kamerad anarkis Gabriel Pomba da Silva, melalui kerja sama  Negara Spanyol, Italia, dan Portugis, ini merupakan contoh yang jelas. Ingatan kita kembali pada tindakan represi Indymedia di Jerman dan Yunani, serta belum lama ini terjadi penangkapan kawan-kawan yang terlibat di Culmine, Parole Armata dan Croce Nera Anarchica di Italia. Seiring berjalannya waktu, gerakan anarkis internasional telah memiliki mode komunikasi untuk orang-orang yang mengalami penyerangan melalui publikasi anarkis yang tak terhitung jumlahnya, kawan-kawan ditangkap dan publikasinya disensor, bahkan dihancurkan, seperti yang terjadi di masa lalu kepada  Alfredo M.Bonnano’s ‘Armed Joy’ di Italia, serta  Conspiracy of Cells of Fire’s ‘The Sun Still Rises’ di Yunani.
Tentunya bukan kebetulan bahwa serangan represif  ini terjadi  setelah publikasi ‘325 #12 – Against the Fourth and Fifth Industrial Revolutions’ baru-baru ini. Publikasi yang kami rasa menyerang  inti dari apa yang distimulasi oleh negara dan kapitalisme, di masa lalu dan  terlebih lagi sekarang, di balik kedok pandemi Covid-19, yang merupakan rencana pembungkaman, penyerangan serta perampasan segala hal yang dianggap menggangu. Serangan kepolisian untuk sementara mempengaruhi distribusi publikasi kami, baik secara online maupun fisik, namun itu tak akan bertahan lama dan gagal. Para teknokrat yang ingin membentuk dunia kita menjadi masyarakat penjara yang termiliterisasi dengan teknologi sedang diekspos, tidak hanya dari tiap individu tetapi juga  serangan yang sudah berkembang secara internasional terhadap infrastruktur mereka. Inilah yang mereka takuti, bahwa ini bisa tumbuh dan inilah mengapa mereka mengejar dan menyerang kita. Dari apa yang kami ketahui, polisi yang mencoba memburu kami, mereka mengandalkan taktik penindasan lama mereka, mencoba membuat orang lain mengadu dan menutup informasi tandingan. Sejak ‘Operasi Rhone’ mereka bertujuan menyerang lingkaran anarkis di Bristol, mereka hanya menangkap satu orang yang terlibat dalam serangan, tetapi tidak ada yang bersangkutan dengan Federasi Anarkis Informal atau serangan anarkis lain yang tak terhitung jumlahnya.
Sudah terlalu lama senyap di pulau konformitas ini, sementara dunia di luar mulai terbakar lagi, bara api itu masih bercahaya dan kami merasakan kehangatannya. Lebih dari sebelumnya ada kebutuhan mutlak untuk koordinasi internasional antara tiap jaringan, untuk menyerang secara langsung mayat busuk ini, yang mencoba untuk membangkitkan dirinya sendiri, memenjarakan kita lebih jauh. Kontra-informasi adalah bagian integral dari koordinasi internasional, agar memungkinkan mereka yang ingin bertindak demi kebebasan di dunia ini untuk melihat sinyal keterlibatan dalam setiap bahasa dan cara  yang memungkinkan, untuk berbicara dalam satu bahasa pemberontakan dan anarki. Harus ada re-energi dari jaringan kontra informasi internasional, agar sekali lagi menjadi ancaman internasional, setelah serangan represif yang berusaha mengisolasi anarkis dari satu sama lain, tidak hanya di seluruh dunia tetapi bahkan secara lokal. 325 Kolektif terus bergerak di jalur yang sudah kami lalui, bahkan sekarang kami melanjutkan proyek publikasi kami termasuk cetak ulang ‘325 # 12’, edisi baru yang yang memperluas isu  ‘Dark Nights’. Mereka tidak akan membungkam atau menghentikan kita dan kita akan mendapatkan milik kita
Tentang situs web, kami belum tahu apakah akan kembali, sangat jelas bagi kami bahwa jika kembali sebagai ‘325’, maka pihak berwenang akan segera menjadikannya target kembali. Ini juga berarti bahwa kami dapat membahayakan platform mana pun di masa mendatang, serta menempatkan proyek kontra-informasi dan pergerakan lainnya dengan risiko ditutup seperti yang terjadi pada serangan represif baru-baru ini. Siapa yang tahu kemana semua ini akan terjadi? Apa yang kita tahu adalah bahwa kita jauh dari kata mundur, tidak ada satu langkah pun untuk mundur, dalam menghadapi musuh. Mungkin yang terbaik adalah kembali ke cara tradisional, bertatap muka langsung, berbicara secara nyata, serta  berkonspirasi. Kami tidak mengatakan tidak akan kembali ke media situs, juga tidak memanifestasikan kembalinya sebagai proyek baru, hanya waktu yang akan memberi tahu.
Untuk saat ini, solidaritas mutlak kami kepada nostate.net & Bertindak untuk Kebebasan Sekarang! Bersama dengan semua proyek kontra-info lainnya.
TAK ADA YANG SELESAI, PERJUANGAN BERLANJUT!
