The war has finally arrived. After two years of preparations for war, chants, flags, discipline, the «we are at war» announced since spring 2020 is finally real. The tragic news coming from Ukraine is the trigger they were seeking for the definitive militarization of our society.Genoa, Italy – Listening to their voices: a leaflet handed out during an initiative on 20th February
Listening to their voices: a leaflet handed out during an initiative on 20th February 2022
We receive and publish a leaflet handed out during an initiative dedicated to Juan and anarchist prisoners that took place in Genoa on 20th February. The leaflet introduces an exhibition of texts written by our imprisoned comrades Juan Sorroche, Anna Beniamino, Alfredo Cospito, Monica Caballero, Francisco Solar, Ignacio and Luis Avaca and a collective text from anarchists locked up in the prison of Korydallos in Greece.
LISTENING TO THEIR VOICES
This initiative stems from the desire to clear the field of misunderstandings when talking about solidarity and the hypothesis that the latter, if understood inconsistently with intentions, can end up discrediting the paths taken by prisoners.
The idea of solidarity that anarchist prisoners in struggle intend and that emerges from their voices as can be seen from the texts shown here, is very clear: it is not the search for a generic solidarity, human or pietistic, which stems only from a feeling of empathy for the fact of being persecuted by the state, subjected to a despicable yoke of deprivation and daily violence, as indeed are the other people held in Italian prisons.

Blank spaces and black letters – On the repressive operation “Sibilla”
To express annoyance or disappointment in the face of power is not for us. Convinced as we are that between freedom and authority not only there is an unbridgeable gap but also that the former is the expression of irreducible otherness towards the latter and that the two are incompatible and irreconcilable, we persevere in firmly believing that the only possible relation with power is a relation of war. Either you are subjected to it or you destroy it.
This is the reason why resignation, surrender and, ultimately, capitulation become clear in the indifference towards the State. We anarchists retain an idea of freedom which is too extended and uncontrollable to be allowed to be “satisfied”. Our idea defines and – where theory flows into practice – intends to express integral and absolute freedom which scorns all kinds of compliance with power, which effectively smashes the false democratic “freedoms” being given to us, which in an eternal yearning for revolt strikes with action the persons and structures of power, disintegrating the space and time of authority.

Trentino, Italy : Repressive operation and new measures against anarchists
via: ilrovescio.info
Translated by act for freedom now!
Yesterday, 25th February 2022, police notified three custodial measures to as many comrades – from the documents we learn that the recipients would be 4 in total. They concern one custodial measure in prison, one house arrest and two compulsory residence orders in municipalities outside Trentino (one in the Trevigiano area and the other in Trieste).
The accusations refer to events different to one another and also distant in time. The only common thread seems to be the struggle against prison. After the revolts that took place in Italian jails in response to the management of the epidemic, attention has become more stringent concerning those who mobilize outside the walls on this obviously explosive front (a local example is proceedings opened in Trento for incitement to commit crime following gatherings outside the prison of Spini di Gardolo in 2021). In the orders notified yesterday, the prosecutors (Raimondi, Ognibene, Profiti, the same as in operation Renata) talk about the intent “to impose their anti-prison ideology”.

Italy – 26th February 22, demonstration in Busto Arsizio, 3pm, Piazza Trento e Trieste
26th FEBRUARY – DEMO IN BUSTO ARSIZIO – 3pm, Piazza Trento e Trieste
WE DEMONSTRATE AGAINST:
THE GREEN PASS
The introduction of the “health” pass and its unlimited prorogation (as intended by the Draghi government) mean the definitive realization of surveillance society: a dystopian society where control on individuals becomes total through the digitization of all fields and activities of life and where rights and social services are granted only if you have the requisites of “good citizen” (not by chance it is run by the ministry of economy in Italy…), following the Chinese model of “social credit”. Even if the state of emergency ended, the green certificate or a variant of it (see the European Digital Identity) would be maintained if we don’t oppose it resolutely: the Green Pass is to be totally rejected, without ifs or buts!
OBLIGATORY “VACCINATION”
They started by introducing obligatory injection of “anti-Covid” experimental genic “vaccines” for some work categories (first health workers, then education workers, the police and the military), next they imposed it to age groups (for now the over fifties). In spring they will want to inject the serum to 0 to 5-year old children, as declared by the CTS (Technical Scientific Committee). Thus continues a military/vaccination campaign based on terror and blackmail, something else altogether than informed consent.
Enough with Obligatory Health Treatments or passed off as voluntary, in fact under the threat of making your life impossible!

From Rome to Bialystok, passing by Berlin
What has an anti-anarchist operation in Italy got to do with Berlin?
Operation “Bialystok” took place in Italy on 12 June 2020. Yet another attack on the anarchist milieu, adding to the long tradition of state attacks against rebellious structures and individuals. Main 
actors in this “operation” are two prosecutors and their snoops from the ROS – the “Group for Special Operations” (acronym: ROS), the only Carabinieri investigative body with jurisdiction over both organized crime and terrorism. With a clenched fist and a lot of clumsy detective work, they have been trying to establish personal connections of comrades and completely monitor “suspects” for months since the book launch of “The Anarchists of Bialystok” (which was translated into Italian in early 2018) and the arson attack against a Carabinieri barracks in the same year. This produced a small mountain of files, filled with lots of imaginative information. And yet – it may sound absurd – the result of these investigations was that on the day of the “operation” five arrest warrants and two house arrests were executed. As a result, the arrested comrades were in custody for 9 months. The last one to be released recently, Claudio, was in custody for 13 months and the mostly in solitary confinement. But if it had been up to the ROS and the Roman prosecutor’s office, the scale of this operation would have been much more drastic and larger. Because the intended goal of the investigations became clear only by the meticulous evaluation of the currently available files.

Over the past twenty years there has been a distancing from revolutionary ideas: even comrades have stopped believing that their thoughts have the possibility and ability to go beyond. On the contrary, revolutionary ideas are more necessary than ever at the present time.
To stop struggling, believing in the possibility of “winning”, i.e. of really destroying society and disrupting a history that is swiftly veering towards catastrophe – health, ecological, military catastrophe – has made the oppressed weaker, allowing the bosses to take an authoritarian turn in the management of society. This bitter truth has been more evident than ever in recent years, in a continuum which expressed itself – in the past two years alone – in massacres in jails in March 2020, in factories kept open by ferocious pressure from Confindustria while individuals were locked up at home, in an economic recovery which cared about no one, as dramatically proved by deaths at workplaces, massacres for profit such as that in Stresa, attacks and murders outside the gates of warehouses whose workers were on strike (and the list is endless). It is precisely the absence of a concrete revolutionary horizon that is allowing the bosses to sleep peacefully, authorizing them to demand more and more.
Turin, Italy – On the trial for the demo that followed the eviction of Asilo (and on operation “Scintilla”)
On 31st January 2022 the court of Turin delivered the sentence, concluding the first grade of the trial concerning the demo of 9th February 2019, two days after the eviction of Asilo in via Alessandria and the start of operation Scintilla, which led to the arrest of 6 comrades, while another comrade managed to escape the claws of the State and be on the run for over a year.
The eviction marked the closure of a place of meeting, organization and above all struggle, which over the years had defied a normality of repression, control and war on the poor, by opposing evictions, raids, repatriation centres and jails.
Italy – Let’s talk about techno-sciences and new the accumulation of capitalisms
via: fuoridallariserva
We are publishing an article from last June’s 6th issue of the Bulletin of the Biblioteca Spazio Anarchico [anarchist library]“Lunanera” in Cosenza. The article was discussed in its time with comrades editors of the anarchist paper Vetriolo during the initiative “Science and the State” of 27th July 2021. Concerning the ongoing pandemic, everybody can see that the rapidity of contrasting information and the senseless measures that characterize the current governments’ dramas, are no longer the result of opportunistic choices made by those who exploit us, but they now have the pathetic taste of “repetition compulsion”. It is therefore appropriate to reaffirm some of the fundamental points of our analyses, the result of critical thinking and not cold algorithms.
Politicians, scientists and pharmaceutical entrepreneurs
will be no longer able to leave their homes tranquilly.
There will be another Nuremberg and it will
involve the whole of the system from left to right.
I want a new world and we’ll have it.
(Miguel Bosé, Mexico 20th April 2021)
This paper is intended to be an in-depth analysis of what has already been discussed in previous issues of the Bulletin. The tools we equip ourselves with to analyze what is happening around us are not the result of a specialization in the field or a sectoralization of our struggles, but are built day by day in the exploitation that we suffer on our skin and in the self-determination that distinguishes our experience. The considerations raised by many parties in interpreting the events that have been taking place for more than a year, dwell on the dynamics of screwing up the repressive machine: loss of freedom, autonomy, fundamental rights.
