There are no isolated arsonists

An anarchist companion, Ivan, was arrested in the Paris region on June 11, 2022. He is suspected of several car arsons: cars with diplomatic plates, cars of the rich, of Enedis, and of others. We consider the arson and sabotage of cars, cell towers, electricity pylons and corporate targets as a strategy of the international anarchist struggle.

The omnipresence of our enemies makes them vulnerable. Some targets seem unreachable, yet all their tentacles are Achilles’ heels. If a company’s headquarters is difficult to access, we can torch one of its many cars, its branches and its power supply. We find joy in severing these tentacles, alone or in groups, with or without claims, with the means at hand or with more sophisticated techniques. In this way, we attack specific structures of domination. Continue reading EN/FR: There are no isolated arsonists →

Rome, Italy: No surrender – National meeting against 41bis on 16 and 17 of July 22

NO SURRENDER
NATIONAL MEETING IN ROME AGAINST 41bis IN ROME 16 AND 17 JULY

On May 5th anarchist Alfredo Cospito, imprisoned in the prison of Terni, was notified that he had been put under the regime 41bis and was transferred a few days later to one of the toughest prisons that apply this regime, the prison of Bancali (Sassari, Sardinia), aimed at isolating him even more from those close to him and from the anarchist movement.

41bis is a prison regime aimed at preventing relations between inside and outside prison by limiting visits and telephone calls, subjecting correspondence to constant censorship, limiting the quantity and contents of permitted books, and at annihilating the individual through particularly stringent “security” measures, constant body searches and of the cell, restrictions of contact between prisoners, etc. A prison within the prison, or rather, a true “annihilation prison”, aimed at breaking those who for one reason or another constitute a threat to the established order and the powers that govern it.

After using 41bis to bend organised crime that could not be subdued or co-opted, after using it to punish the resurgence of the communist armed struggle, the Italian State now want to use it as a tool to attempt to crush revolutionary anarchist prisoners and intimidate all those who still undermine internal social peace.

40 nations, International Monetary Fund (FMI), World Bank, European Investment Bank (BEI), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), European Union, NATO, Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD)…

What reconstruction, though?
They are the ones who carry out the oppression of the people, the
plundering and destruction of the earth.
The sharing of profits in the ”reconstruction” of Ukraine and other
parts of the world Deals and business between states and the war industry in the global arms race.

The implementation of artificial intelligence, surveillance technologies and robotics, in everyday life as in the countless ongoing wars.

Wars, states of emergency, militarization of territories, walls on
borders.

Climate and humanitarian disasters, forced migrations, deportations, repression, incarcerations, murdered people, and the strengthening of structural racism.

They make war on us, we won’t leave them in peace!

4 anti-militarist days from 1st to 4th of July
against the ‘URC-Ukraine Recovery conference’ on 4 and 5 July in Lugano.

There will be a camping with meetings with anti-war groups,
presentations and discussions on the direct responsibility of research and techno-industry.

and determination possible to defect and oppose the war and its
conferences.

“War, Peace, Neutrality”.
Switzerland and its model of hypocrisy

Fuck diplomacy, the media and nuclear power!
Long live the Attack!
Manif-Est, June 23, 2022

During the night of June 10th to 11th, a person suspected of being an admin of the site attaque.noblogs.org was arrested and then placed in provisional detention, and the media unleashed their venom on this story. He is accused of having set fire to 58 cars between 2017 and 2022 in the “beautiful districts” of Paris: diplomatic cars, cars of private companies (Eiffage) or public (Enedis, RATP) or media (the Est Républicain). More info from the mainstream press here.
It made us angry.

With this banner, we send all our solidarity from Bure & let the revolt spread.

PS: a sneak peek of the banner was seen by the gendarmerie helicopter that was passing by, doing their job of repression…

SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST COMRADE GIANNIS MICHAILIDIS ON HUNGER STRIKE SINCE 23/5/22 (polish)

24 czerwca – Międzynarodowy Dzień Akcji i Solidarności ze strajkiem głodowym anarchisty Giannisa Michailidisa

24 CZERWCA został ogłoszony Międzynarodowym Dniem Akcji i Solidarności z anarchistą Giannisem Michailidisem, który prowadzi strajk głodowy domagając się przedterminowego zwolnienia z więzienia. Wzywamy do działań, które pokażą Giannisowi i jego przyjaciołom, że o nim pamiętamy, że nikt schwytany w szczęki państwowych represji nie będzie zostawiony sam sobie. Kim jednak dokładnie jest Giannis Michailidis? Jaka jest jego historia?

Przez całe swoje życie Giannis Michailidis był integralną częścią walk przeciwko państwu i kapitałowi prowadzonych z perspektywy anarchistycznej. Od najmłodszych lat uczestniczył w anarchistycznych grupach studenckich, w demonstracjach przeciwko wojnie w Iraku, w antypaństwowych i antykapitalistycznych demonstracjach ruchu antyglobalistycznego w latach 2004-2006, a podczas tych konfliktów niejednokrotnie bywał aresztowany. Uczestniczył w walkach studenckich w latach 2006-2007 przeciwko reakcyjnym reformom szkolnictwa wyższego (prywatyzacja uniwersytetów, zniesienie azylu uniwersyteckiego itp.) Walczył z ekonomicznym rabunkiem przyrody. W 2007 r. został aresztowany podczas interwencji przeciwko wylesianiu góry Parnitha. Był integralną częścią powstania grudniowego, kiedy to policjanci zamordowali z zimną krwią 16-letniego anarchistę Alexandrosa Grigoropoulosa w rejonie Exarchii. Brał udział w walkach przeciwko memorandom w 2012 r. i zdecydował się na wywłaszczenie krwawego bogactwa banków. Pozostaje osobą nieugięcie oddaną wizji obalenia państwa i kapitału, zajmując bojową postawę wobec kompleksu policyjno-sądowego, uosabiającego terroryzm państwowy.

Solidarity with anarchist comrade Juan Sorroche (Italy)

Italy – For Juan

SOLIDARITY WITH JUAN, AGAINST THE STATE AND ITS TORTURERS

On 11th June another hearing of the trial against Juan Sorroche will take place at the court of Treviso; Juan is an anarchist comrade accused of placing two devices near the premises of the League in Villorba (Treviso) in August 2018, and for this he was put on trial by the Italian State for “attack with purposes of terrorism” and “massacre”.

The State that talks about massacre is the same that at the time, thanks to the work of some of its best servants such as the Democratic Party and the League, began to finance Libyan mercenaries and coast guards in order to lock up hundreds of thousands of men and women fleeing wars and famine in concentration camps in the middle of the desert, the same that was causing death by drowning for thousands of them in the Mediterranean sea, preventing them from being succoured and the same that was chasing back many hundreds in the so-called Balkan route. Inside its national borders it was inaugurating the latest version of concentration camps for undocumented people, the CPRs, places of torture and death, such as that in Gradisca d’Isonzo.

Greece: International Day of Action and Solidarity with the Anarchist Hunger Striker G. Michailidis

International Day of Action and Solidarity with the Anarchist Hunger Striker G. Michailidis

“After 8.5 years in prison, after all these arbitrary actions against me, I decided to put an end to my 11 years of suffering, by putting up a mound against the practice of preventive imprisonment, or else the additional punishment of escape with legal loopholes. After 5 more months of preventive detention, I am starting a hunger strike for my release. This choice, with the deep motivation of the much desired freedom, I intend to support it with the same consistency that I have supported my choices so far and for which they are avenging me.”

Giannis Michailidis, preventively imprisoned in Malandrinos prison, 23/5/2022

Throughout his life, Giannis Michailidis, has been an integral part of the struggles against the state and capital from an anarchist perspective. He participated from a young age in anarchist student groups, in demonstrations against the Iraq war, in anti-state/anti-capitalist demonstrations of the 2004-2006 anti-globalisation movement and was arrested during the conflicts. He participated in the 2006-2007 student struggles against the reactionary reforms in higher education (privatization of universities, abolition of university asylum, etc.). He fought against the plundering of nature and was arrested in an intervention against the deforestation of Mount Parnitha in 2007. He was an integral part of the December uprising, when police officers murdered in cold blood the anarchist 16-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos in the Exarchia area. He was present in the battles against the memoranda in 2012 and chose to expropriate the bloody wealth of the banks, remaining steadfastly committed to the vision of the overthrow of the state and capital, holding a militant – feisty stance, against the police-judicial complex, the material expression of state terrorism.

The construction of the metro station on Exarchia square and the redevelopment of Strefi Hill are expected to start during the summer months, according to reports in the mainstream media, but also according to notifications by the Municipality of Athens to shops located in the square.

The government’s ultimatum is the final blow to the character of the historic neighborhood of Exarchia. The construction of a Metro stop on the square, the conversion of the Polytechnic school into a museum, the attempted eradication of the monument of Alexandros Grigoropoulos through the construction of luxury apartment buildings on Mesologgiou Street, the surrender of Strefi Hill to private interests (which includes the cementing of the park’s paths, cutting down trees, placing cameras, gates and security posts to control the entrance) are part of the overall designs for the gentrification of the area, the transformation of the neighborhood into a tourist destination, the development of control and repression.

The displacement of the most impoverished people is a consequence of gentrification, since finding housing is rendered impossible due to the increase in rents, spread of airbnb and the onslaught of investment companies. The process of gentrification is normality for the State and Capital, while it is a violent process of uprooting for those connected to the area as they are forced to leave it.

Faster than the press, for once. The appeal of the “Parkbank” trial against three Hamburg anarchists is now over (Germany)

Hamburg (Germany): Faster than the press, for once

Kontrapolis / Tuesday, June 7, 2022

Faster than the press, for once. The appeal of the “Parkbank” trial against three Hamburg anarchists is now over.

The German Federal Court (BGH) has upheld the conviction of the two fellow comrades who had been remanded in custody until the verdict was issued. As a result, they will have to go to prison in the next few months to serve the remainder of their sentences.

As for the conviction of the other comrades, there will still be a hearing for her application for parole, which has been denied so far. The date has not yet been set.

More information will follow, as soon as we have sorted it out or know more.

Freedom and happiness!

Solidarity with the anarchist Giannis Michailidis – On hunger strike since 23/5/22

1 June, 2022

Anarchist prisoner in Malandrinos prison Giannis Michailidis started a hunger strike on 23/5 demanding that his request for release be accepted. While he has served his entire sentence (8.5 years in the cells of democracy) and according to the laws of civil justice he is entitled to be released from prison, the responsible judicial council rejected the 1st application for his permanent release on the grounds that he is “liable to commit new offences” and the 2nd application is still under consideration with the prosecution having recommended against it.

Determined and consistent for years in the struggle against state power, capitalist brutality and all forms of exploitation, he has fought battles through his participation in social struggles and in guerrilla action groups. Present in every form of struggle that promotes rebellion and resistance to power, he has been in practical solidarity with those who have experienced the brutality and vindictiveness of repression. Having been ineffectively accused of a number of baseless cases (robbery in Paros, joining the C.C.F.) and convicted, among others, of the “crime” of robbing a bank, and having managed to escape from the hellholes of democracy (an act for which he has served his legal “debt”), he remains a proud revolutionary without ever signing statements of repentance for his actions and choices. It is obvious, therefore, why the Amfissa magistrates’ court is refusing him the permanent dismissal to which he is entitled.

Bavaria, Germany : G7, again in Schloss Elmau

G7, again in Schloss Elmau

We receive and publish this text-appeal against the G7 which will take place in Elmau, Bavaria, from 26th to 28th June. If we agree with the whole of the reasoning and the tension that animates it, we cannot fail to point out a contradiction between denunciation of “massive financing to digital and to biotechnologies” thanks to the Covid-19 Emergency, and the claim to “vaccination for all”, that is to say biotechnological serums… This said, strength and courage in taking “resistance against this capitalist shit to the streets”.

Smash G7!

Translated from German by de.indymedia.org

The G20-related trials are not yet concluded and the next summit of shit is already underway. The G7 summit, this time for three days, will be held again in Germany from 26th to 28th June 2022 – and will take place in Elmau, Bavaria, as in 2015. The state and government leaders of Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Canada and United States of America (USA) will gather in Schlosshotel Elmau. The seven megalomaniacs (G7, “the biggest advanced economies in the world within the IMF and the richest liberal democracies”) are the most powerful capitalist states, major military powers and the headquarters of the biggest banks and corporations. Their policies are responsible for the poverty, exploitation and oppression of millions of people, for famines and wars.

Do we want once again to organize resistance against the G7 and let people understand that the dominant powers don’t represent us? We should self-critically ask ourselves whether it is meaningful to mobilize again after Elmau or, unlike 2015, if more decentralised actions would be more efficient. But what is the aim actually? To stop the summit? To destroy the G7? A symbolic protest? Continue reading Bavaria, Germany : G7, again in Schloss Elmau →
