concerned about them.Then they came to disqualify doctors who doubted the anti-pandemic health protocols established by the government. But these doctors do not appear regularly on TV programs, they have no reputation, so very few are concerned about them.
A communication text by Alfredo Cospito about Operation Sibilla (Italy)
November 28, 2021
In the hope that they can pass censorship, I throw on paper these few lines. First of all affection and solidarity to the comrades who have been involved in this umpteenth clownish repression. Especially to Michael who is under house arrest and all-the other comrades and comrades of “Vetriolo”, and anarchist sites “Round Robin” and “Malacoda” that have been obscured.
I then send back to the sender the furry “solidarity” that democratic and reformist formations such as “Potere al Popolo”, “Rifondazione Comunista” and “Italian Communist Party” have indirectly given me by solidarizing with the defendants of the operation “Sibilla”. I don’t need your “solidarity” because I spit on your democracy as I spit on your constitution. I have never liked whining about freedom of opinion, so I will not dwell on the lack of respect for freedom of thought. That said, I want to reiterate that I am and we have been investigated not for words in freedom, or some writing on the wall, but for what we are: anarchists and anarchists consistent.

”Operation Sibilla”, Italy : All custodial measures annulled
Today the news broke that all custodial measures for the repressive operation Sibilla of 11th November, directed in particular against the anarchist paper Vetriolo, were annulled by the court of review held on 14th December. Therefore there are no more signing and residence obligations for three comrades, or house arrest for Michele Fabiani and pre-trial detention for Alfredo Cospito, who remains imprisoned following a 20-year sentence in the Scripta Manent trial.
The reasons for the decision will be made known within 45 days. Without going into the matter of court waste paper, it seems that the wording “annulment” represents the highest possible denial of the accusatory hypothesises on a technical level. In any case, regardless of the judges’ verdict, we continue to firmly persevere with revolutionary anarchist propaganda, solidarity with our imprisoned comrades and the defence of anarchist publications. The repression doesn’t surprise us: we knew that the recent sentencing against the latest edition of “Croce Nera Anarchica” in the Scripta Manent appeal trial would create an infamous precedent.

Italy: To those who have a bomb in their heart
In August 2018, two explosive devices, one of which will not work, are placed near the local of the Lega, in Villorba (in the suburbs of Treviso).
An action “against politicians, cops and their minions”.
Juan, our friend and companion, is accused of this attack and the Court of Treviso is trying him for “indiscriminate massacre”
The charge of indiscriminate and infamous massacre reveals the upside down world we live in. The one that has killed hundreds of people in the streets, in factories, in psychiatric hospitals and in prisons; the one that, for decades, has covered up for the bosses who have made workers die because of exposure to asbestos, or who have made entire populations fall ill because of the pollution of the air, of the fields, of the water ; the one that has prevented millions of people from leaving their homes, while forcing the elderly to die of Covid and loneliness, in RSAs; [Residenza sanitaria assistenziale, nursing homes] the one that plunders and bombs entire countries and then lets people fleeing misery and war sink into the Mediterranean or freeze in a forest; yes, specify him, His Majesty the Italian State, he accuses of indiscriminate massacre an anarchist, an enemy of all power and all oppression Continue reading Italy: To those who have a bomb in their heart
Italy : Better no wages than no freedom: a leaflet distributed during a demonstration in Lecco on 16/10/2021
BETTER NO WAGES THAN NO FREEDOM
What is losing one’s wages compared to losing one’s freedom?
After months of demonstrations in the streets, even if the grip of blackmail has tightened with the introduction of the compulsory green pass for all workers, we need to have the strength to continue to resist. The violence being turned against us all, particularly those who don’t want to comply with the measures that are worsening each day, means we must give responses that go beyond “civil disobedience”. Blocks carried out by dock workers, workers’ strikes, demonstrations in all the streets, boycotts and clashes; the time of being passively subjected to the violence that wants to force an alienated, medicalized, traced life on us, a life devoid of meaning, that wants to reduce us to a condition of mere survival, is over.
Let’s give back meaning to the idea of resistance, i.e. that of the partisan struggles and today’s rebels who everywhere and with all means decide to clash against an oppressive power, which now as in the past doesn’t stop at intimidation, but has no scruples in using every kind of violence, physical and psychological, in order to reach its aims.
The reaction in Italy: Message in the barrel about operation Sibilla and much more by Anarchist Michele Fabiani

Message in the barrel about operation Sibilla and much more
The passion for destruction is also a creative passion
— M. Bakunin, The Reaction in Germany
The story goes that one day Alexander the Great went to the barrel in which Diogenes of Sinope lived. Diogenes was the only philosopher who had not gone to pay homage to the great king. So Alexander went to him. Alexander asked him: “Tell me what I can do for you”. And Diogenes answered: “Yes, move away, stand out of my light.”.
Reflecting on conditions of incommunicability, autonomy and refractoriness towards power is far more complicated today than it was in the 4th century BC.
Today power does not move, there is no longer a barrel inside which the shadow of the State does not reach. The only possible relationship with this global organism is violence. One hears all too often, like a plaint of bigots at evensong, that revolutionary violence is out of date. It is said that “times have changed” when, if anything, it is the possibility of escape that has changed.
The last two years have been a sad confirmation of this old story. A new era was heralded in with the massacre in the Italian prisons, the people locked in their homes while production continued to go ahead, the attacks and killings during the transport strikes, the countless repressive manoeuvres against anarchists, and finally through the green pass, the final (?) destination of the new society of control.
Operation Sibilla: solidarity communique from Bure (France)

—————————–
A new repressive operation, named “Sibilla”, is targeting anarchists in Italy.
At dawn on November 11, there were numerous raids in different cities (Cagliari, Cosenza, Cremona, Genoa, Lecce, Massa, Perugia, 
Rome, Taranto, Spoleto and Viterbo) and 6 companions were served with judicial surveillance warrants. Alfredo Cospito, already imprisoned in Terni, was given a preventive detention order (sic!). Michele, companion from Spoleto, has been placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet. Four other companions are under various forms of judicial control (forbidden to leave the region they live in, obligation to report to the police station three times a week).
The comrades are charged with the crime provided for by article 270 bis (association with the purpose of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order), because of the design, printing and distribution, also by digital means, of the anarchist newspaper Vetriolo, as well as for tagging walls with content considered as incitement, in addition to a case of damage to property belonging to others. In addition, they are charged under art. 414 (provocation to crimes and misdemeanors), for the drafting and dissemination of communiqués with content inciting the commission of crimes against the State, with the aim of terrorism and subversion of the democratic order.

Italy – The wrong way up
A text handed out on the day of protest against the green pass, price increases, repression and the exploitation of labour in Saronno on 13th November
THE WRONG WAY UP
For several weeks the national media have been reporting statements from the Milan police station talking of infiltrators, extremists, etc. In this witch-hunt climate the homes of three comrades were raided a few weeks ago in Saronno, in search of mobile phones and computers, with the purpose of finding traces of Telegram groups, messages, leaflets, flyers.
In fact, for several months spontaneous mass demonstrations have been forming and spreading in almost all the city squares in Italy. The fuse was the compulsory green pass to access workplaces and social life in general.
On the preventive seizure of malacoda.noblogs.org and roundrobin.info in the context of Sibilla repressive operation (Italy)
Following the Sibilla repressive operation of November 11, 2021, against the anarchist paper ‘Vetriolo’, the websites roundrobin.info and malacoda.noblogs.org were subjected to preventive seizure, in an attempt to block the online reading of articles published in the paper and others that the repressive forces believe were written by the investigated comrades.
The two websites are blacked out in Italy, so in order to visit them in this country you need to use TOR or a VPN. Solidarity with the comrades arrested, investigated and searched.
