December 8 case: Anti-terrorism attacks social struggles (France)

Day 2, October 4: request for access to the investigating cops and questions about the defendants’ personalities

December 8 case: Anti-terrorism attacks social struggles
September 27, 2023

Detailed political analysis of the case file.

Soulèvements de la Terre activists detained by the Sub-Directorate for Anti-Terrorism (SDAT), anti-terrorist units mobilized against anti-nuclear activists, CGT trade unionists arrested by the DGSI (The General Directorate for Internal Security, NdT), RAID units (elite tactical unit of the french national police, NdT) deployed during urban uprisings… The recurrent mobilization of anti-terrorist investigative resources to repress social movements, combined with the dissemination of unequivocal language – “ecoterrorism”, “intellectual terrorism” – leave no room for doubt.

The aim is to confuse terrorism with social struggles, so as to prepare public opinion for the fact that the perpetrators of political illegalism will soon be charged with terrorism. And to give free rein to political repression, by giving it the benefit of the most complete repressive arsenal the law offers today: anti-terrorist legislation.

It is against this backdrop that the first trial of leftist activists for “terrorism” since the Tarnac affair [1] will take place in October. The stakes are high. A sentence would legitimize the government’s repressive shift. It is the symbolic dividing line between what can and cannot be qualified as terrorism that the government is seeking to shift in this trial.

Demo and Arson Attack at the PDI Barracks at the Christian Humanism Academy University

August 23, 2023

The night of August 17, barricades were raised and molotovs were thrown at the Carabineros (COP). At least three of these molotovs were thrown at the front of the Human Rights Unit of the PDI (Investigations Police), steps from the UAHC. No one was detained and pamphlets were left declaring support for mapuche prisoners and claims for the 50 year anniversary of the coup.

The following are some records:

$hilean state : Claim from Santiago August 23, 2023

Claim from Santiago
August 23, 2023

(Extracted from Red de Lucha y Propaganda)

To sabotage the absurd and oppressive daily life imposed on us by the capital system and reject the passive proposal of social democracy in the face of the needs of the oppressed class, today we position ourselves as self-convened anarchists, who believe in cooperativism, mutual aid, mutualism, armed insurrection and social war.

Through these ideas our thinking is created, seeking to create new networks and ways of relating to replace the hierarchical pyramids that have oppressed us throughout history.

These pyramids that have divided us have clear culprits, where in addition to the participation of businessmen and the $hilean state, we must not forget the political parties and pseudo-revolutionary organizations that have led the oppressed class to remain subjected to this system. P.C, P.S, P.P.D, R.D, C.S, among others. Also those who have historically contained the oppressed masses to rebel against this system, under the excuse of letting them govern in peace so that they can govern for the people, adding to their coalitions and nefarious militant youth. And organizations like the GAP, the SER, the CEP, the FAR, among others, have led us to the conformist blindness of a false illusion of struggle against those who oppress us, leading the forces of the people to a struggle of ego to see who is more revolutionary.

Besançon (Doubs) France :For Anarchist Comrade Boris’s wheelchair is on its way!

Besançon (Doubs): Boris’s wheelchair is on its way!

At the beginning of July, we urgently re-launched our appeal for financial support for the purchase of a custom-made electric wheelchair for Boris. As a reminder, Boris is the anarchist comrade from Besançon who, during the first lockdown, destroyed two cell towers belonging to the cops and cell phone operators in the Jura region, before being incarcerated in Nancy and then seriously injured in a fire in the cell where he was locked up, leaving him a quadriplegic.

Boris has been back in the Besançon area for two months. He has left the hospital in Chalon-sur-Saône, where he was in an SSR (Follow up and Readaptation Care) unit, and is now living in a medicalized home adapted to his situation… where he will be able to receive the wheelchair at the end of September! What’s more, the fund-raising appeal was once again warmly received in many places, and nearly 11,000 additional euros were raised this summer.

Noise Demo for Anarchist Toby Shone ( Bristol,UK )

Fireworks at HMP Bristol for Imprisoned Anarchist Toby Shone

Anarchists gathered at HMP Bristol on Friday 21 September at 8pm. As darkness fell, fireworks were launched over the prison to protest the rearrest of anarchist Toby Shone and to let him know he is never alone.

Toby was arrested by an armed police unit while he was driving to
Gloucester at 9am on Tuesday 19 September. The arrest was apparently ordered by Ashley Fussell from the National Security Division Wales and South West. The armed police unit is based at Bamfurlong, Gloucestershire, and was involved in Toby’s original arrest in November 2020.

South London , UK : We are presenting a two-part event, The Social War in the Territory Dominated by the Chilean State – And International Solidarity with anarchist and subversive prisoners, at the Touchpaper Anarchist Library.

POSTER ON PDF:
TEXT FROM THE POSTER:

an unrelenting struggle, an insurrectional dream.
Social war and repression of anarchists and subversives in the territory dominated by the Chilean state

“Continuing to take paths of rupture is therefore a small victory, showing that, even if the State shows us its worst face, it cannot bend us. We think that solidarity with those affected by repression must necessarily be transgressive and offensive, free from any pessimistic and victimist discourse. The use of all our creativity, limited only by our anarchist principles, is fundamental…”

Monica Caballero and Francisco Solar, 2017.

Chilean society is a modern democratic one. The industrial ravaging of indigenous land is conducted for the benefit of American, British and European corporations and is managed by endless ‘anti-terrorist’ operations. The administrators of society, from the bosses of production and mass-media to the scientists and the military; from the priests and politicians to the judges and police, have all undergone a costume-change since the years of fascist dictatorship.

Over this time the territory has been the subject of economic booms and collapses, times of social peace and democratic recuperation as well as some of the most intense social rebellions in recent times that have not been short of explosive examples throughout the world.

EN/IT/FR/ES: The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda… we will neither be silenced nor stopped, Poster in solidarity with those investigated in the ”Scripta Scelera” operation (Italy)

solidarity poster scripta scelera english pdf (it can be printed as an A3 poster and as an A4 flyer).

The state would like to silence revolutionary anarchist propaganda…

Four house arrests with restrictions on visits, communication and the electronic bracelet, five obligations to stay in the municipality of residence combined with the obligation to return home at night from 7 pm to 7 am (including one subsequently aggravated to house arrest), in front of a request of ten arrests in prison; house searches and against the Circolo Culturale Anarchico “Gogliardo Fiaschi” and a commercial typography in Carrara (initially placed under seizure and released after a few days); huge seizures of papers and anarchist and revolutionary publications… This was the outcome of the repressive operation Scripta Scelera of August 8th against the internationalist anarchist fortnightly “Bezmotivny”. A “surgical raid” against a paper that for three years has published analyses and reflections aimed at the critical in-depth analysis of social reality, as well as claims and informative texts concerning actions of attack against structures and figures of the state and capital, responsible for all forms of exploitation and social oppression.

After the media hullabaloo and pompous declarations, if you allow, we also have something to say

We are not surprised by operations like this. Ever since anarchism emerged – not from the scholarly abstractions of some philosopher, but from revolutionary experiences, from the aspirations of the oppressed – anarchists’ papers have been hit. States have a long history of massacres, torture, assassinations, thousands of years of imprisonment against revolutionaries. We have the impetus of the dream and the risk of action, the determination of the will and the strength of necessity. And we continue on the path we have taken… Let inquisitors and illustrious magistrates get over it, beyond and against all censorship and repression, we will continue to rejoice every time this authoritarian social reality is attacked, its certainties shattered and troubled by the roar of revolt.
