Rome, Italy: Defacement claim in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito

Rome,Defacement claim

On the night of 21-22 August in Rome, we defaced the mural dedicated to Falcone and Borsellino [anti-mafia prosecutors killed in 1992 by the mafia] with paint and writings. A small gesture in solidarity with Alfredo Cospito, anarchist prisoner under the 41 bis regime. A little contempt for democracy and its putrid champions. The Anti-mafia tortures. No 41bis.

Everybody free

Messina and Caltanissetta, Sicily: In Messina against the prison, in Caltanissetta against the CPR

One afternoon at the beginning of August, a group in solidarity brought a quick greeting to the prisoners in the Gazzi prison in Messina.
What follows is a leaflet handed out in the neighbourhood next to the prison: volcarcere (in Italian)

After that some news about the CPR in Caltanissetta and the the report of a flying initiative against it:
One August morning, some persons in solidarity gathered in front of the gate of Pian del Lago in Caltanissetta, where the border regime’s war is at its height. Pian del Lago, un’ex military base trasformated into CPT in 1998, is now a key logistics centre where migrants are rendered exploitable and expellable and from where they are then deported.

Update | Solidarity and complicity with Mónica and Francisco in the face of the demands for sentences solicited by the prosecutors!

Solidarity and complicity with Mónica and Francisco in the face of the demands for sentences solicited by the prosecutors!

July 24 2020 comrades Mónica and Francisco are arrested in a double repressive operation. Power accuses Francisco of sending explosive parcels against the ex Minister of Home Affairs Rodrigo Hinzpeter and the 54th police station of Huechuraba (which took place on July 24 2019, claimed by “Cómplices Sediciosos / Fracción por la Venganza” – “Seditious Accomplices / Revenge Fraction”), while both are accused of the double explosive attack against the Tànica building in the town of Vitacura (action which took place in the midst of the revolt, on February 27 2020, claimed by “Afinidades Armadas en Revuelta” – “Armed Affinities in Revolt”).

During over two years’ prison Mónica has remained in the common section of San Miguel Prison, whereas Francisco was inizially imprisoned in the maximum security section of the CAS (High Security Prison) to then be transferred, along with other comrades in June 2021, to the La Gonzalina di Rancagua prison where he is still being held.

Italy: Let’s spoil their party!

Let’s spoil their party!

The elections are the apex of the theatre of democracy.

The grand gala evening of the whole infamous orchestra of democratic power.
The apparatus of dominion, with all the calm it has deemed appropriate, has finally come round once again to the ‘ritual of the ballot box’, to renew the illusion of the ‘decision-making power of the people’ a little in the few who still believe in it… despite the fact that the Italian state and its various appendices have abundantly demonstrated that one can do without even the (farcical) democratic form to impose dominion without being accused of ‘dictatorship’.
In the territory dominated by the Italian state, the government of technology has found an avant-garde pole once again… and indeed Western power always looks to our latitudes with a desire to emulate them.

The need to save a little slice of power, after ‘the man of providence’ Draghi did ‘what had to be done’, has led the various politicians to decide for elections: everyone must be able to gorge themselves on the cake of power, in rotation, all on the blood of the oppressed, on the depredation of the Earth and those who traverse it.

Indymedia Lille, July 28, 2022

Ivan was arrested on June 11, 2022 at about 3:30 am, according to Le Parisien, while he was putting his bike away. He is accused of having burned 6 vehicles, including a diplomatic car in the 17th arrondissement that same evening.

In the following days, the media served us information that came directly from the investigation file, but also the story of an Ivan who would go out every Saturday night on his bike to set fire to cars.

Italy: Cassation Scripta Manent: some considerations and clarifications by Anarchist Gioacchino Somma

Cassation Scripta Manent: some considerations and clarifications

This writing stems from the need to explain to comrades what will happen after the Cassation ruling for the Scripta Manent trial issued on July 6.

Starting with the most serious convictions, the court requalified the explosive attack against the Carabinieri’s student school in Fossano(Cuneo) on June 2, 2006 and claimed by Rivolta Anonima e Tremenda / Federazione Anarchica Informale as a “political massacre” (art. 285 c. p.), referring the case back to the Turin Court of Appeals for a peggiorative recalculation of the sentence with the risk of life imprisonment for comrades Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino.

In addition, all other convictions handed down in the Court of Appeals were upheld with sentences ranging from 2 years and 6 months to 1 year and 6 months for 11 comrades and acquittals for the rest of the defendants.

The convictions and acquittals as of now are final.

The need to throw down these two lines is due to the fact that I have realized that many comrades do not have a clear understanding of the situation in which some of us convicted Scripta Manent comrades find ourselves.

THE SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM -THE NEW TOTALITARIAN MANAGEMENT IN A TECHNOLOGICAL KEY AND SOCIAL CREDIT EXPERIMENTATION HAS BEGUN IN ITALY

THE SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM

“The most effective power is that which cannot be seen. This fact, combined with the reduction of the subject to a mere economic “animal laborans” and the deconflictionalisation and depoliticisation of society, is tending towards constructing a framework in which rules and those who decide them can hardly be challenged.”

“Depoliticisation and economic success are the most effective tools for pacifying society and maintaining control over it, and the social credit system goes in this direction.”

From 2013 Rongcheng, Chinese city in the province of Shandong, started experimenting with the ‘social credit’ system, but the aim is to extend it throughout the country by 2023.

In Rongcheng, each citizen is assigned 1,000 initial points, and each score corresponds to a specific letter: AAA to D. The letter ‘A’ (equivalent to 1,000 points) is the basic score and entails access to certain benefits, such as preferential assistance in employment and priority in school enrolment. One can aim to increase one’s score through behaviour considered by the Chinese Communist Party as ‘virtuous’: paying taxes and bills on time, making certain purchases, sharing and spreading party ideas, etc. a long list of behaviours by which the ‘trustworthiness’ and ‘virtuousness’ of citizens is judged. Of course, reporting people whose attitudes are deemed to be improper leads to an increase in one’s score. The benefits for the highest level (AAA, accessible to those with more than 1,050 points) include: higher pension insurance, subsidies for public transport, the possibility of applying for interest-free loans, being able to rent vehicles without having to leave a deposit, requiring fewer documents for travel visas, etc.
