Pola Roupa: On My Extraordinary Permit and Parody-Transfer

Since summer 2022 I have been released from prison every 2 months on ordinary leave during which I travel and stay at my family home in Kalamata, where my son lives. These leaves are without police escort and control. Since so far I have enjoyed a total of 5 regular permits and I move freely wherever I want in the prefecture of Messinia and while in 1 month I will have served the sentence required for conditional leave, I requested and received an extraordinary permit of 48 hours due to a serious health problem of a relative of mine.

I was informed that the leave would be with a police escort due to its extraordinary nature and I asked that it be discreet. But instead of discreet, my transfer was made with measures I had never had before and without prior notice. Naturally, the neighborhood was upset, as were my relatives who wondered why all this had happened as I had just been in Kalamata for 3 weeks. As for the local community, acquaintances and friends in town, some treated the event with astonishment and others with acid humor, speaking of its ridiculousness.

Ireland: Over several nights many advertising signs were vandalised in Dublin by Animal Liberation Front Cell of Vandals

Over several nights many advertising signs were vandalised in Dublin. Advertisement plays a key role in animal exploitation so these signs were turned into anti-speciesist advertisement.

Not only does fast play one of the biggest parts in animal genocide it contributes massively to climate change and deforestation of rainforests which is home for many plant and animal species including human. Massive amounts of land turned into pasture for cow farming and growing soya, the fuel that runs the animal agriculture industry globally.

Montevideo, Territory occupied by the Uruguayan State: Gesture of Solidarity with Monica and Francisco

Gesture of Solidarity with Monica and Francisco
July 19, 2023

On the afternoon of July 17, 2023, on the eve of the beginning of the trial against the anarchists Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, we decided to carry out a solidarity action in front of the Chilean embassy in Montevideo. The purpose of this action is to demonstrate the violence and viciousness of the government in power and the justice system in general that has kept them in preventive detention for three years now, a government that even dressed in its best progressive clothes cannot hide the fact that it keeps political prisoners in its prisons.

We do so once again to affirm that there are political prisoners in Chile and to back our comrades absolutely. Their actions are framed in the struggle against the violence of the State, they took the initiative and returned the blows received.

Germany: 2 BMWs Torched in Munich in Solidarity with Climate Activists Facing State Repression

2 BMWs Torched in Munich in Solidarity with Climate Activists Facing State Repression

[Switch Off The System] The Repression Against Climate Activists Will Not Go Unanswered

In recent months, the repression against climate activists in Germany has been permanently intensified. In the media coverage, the Last Generation (LG) in particular, gets the most attention. Investigations by the General Prosecutor’s Office in Munich for the formation of a so-called criminal organization, house searches, preventive detention for sit-in blockades, etc. Now the Berlin prosecutor’s office has announced that in the future, street blockaders will be tried with the so-called fast-track procedure. The Code of Criminal Procedure allows the judiciary to do this if the accusations against the accused are “suitable for immediate trial due to the simple facts or clear evidence”.

We understand the actions of the Munich and Berlin prosecutors as an attack on all activists of the climate justice movement, not only against the LG (Last Generation). Therefore, as a first reaction, during the night of July 9 to July 10, we targeted two BMW SUVs by means of an incendiary device and forced them into early retirement. This measure was suitable for immediate full retirement due to the simple facts of the case and the clear evidence (superfluous luxury cars and devastating CO2 emissions). We were inspired by the arson attacks of May 19 and July 4: E-vehicles of Stadtwerke München; a Tesla charging station + a Tesla + an electric mini.

Sabotage, Arsons Attacks

Rhine coalfield (Germany): coordinated sabotage of three coal mines

Hot sabotage of cable ducts: cutting off the juice to RWE!

From de.indymedia, July 13, 2023

On the night of July 5 to 6, we carried out simultaneous acts of sabotage using incendiary devices on three cable ducts in the Rhine lignite mining area. The attacked cables supply, among other things, the coal silos in the Hambach and Garzweiler open-cast mines, as well as the coal silo in the Fortuna mine. The aim of the action was to interrupt the coal supply to the Neurath and Niederaußem power stations and possibly force them to shut down. Unfortunately, according to press reports, we didn’t use enough accelerant to cause serious damage. We’ll have more next time! Nevertheless, this action shows that fossil fuel companies like RWE are vulnerable. And who knows, maybe we indirectly contributed to the Hambach mine transformer fire on July 11, which paralyzed the entire mine.

In particular, coal silos are an important infrastructure for supplying power plants. Most of the power cables between substations and coal silos are open-air and easily accessible. Attached below are maps where the routes of the cables that supply these coal silos are shown in red.

Manifesto of the October 18th Movement

Note: This communique was previously excerpted in “Triple explosive attack against critical infrastructure.”

To the people of Chile.

As a first point, as Movimiento 18 de Octubre we take responsibility for the three explosive attacks on capitalist infrastructure, sabotages carried out in Valparaíso by the Comando Mauricio Arenas Bejas, in Bío Bío by the Comando Lafkenche Pilmaiquen and in Ñuble by the Comando Luisa Toledo. The reasons are explained below.

A dark period is approaching in Chile, marked by an incipient fascism penetrating the masses, which today has positioned a conservative and backward right wing in charge of drafting the new constitution, which will govern the destinies of the country for the next decades or, failing that, will perpetuate the constitution emanating from the dictatorship. But how did we arrive at this scenario, less than four years after the beginning of the popular revolt that uncovered the structural abuses of this capitalist state, that mobilized millions in rejection of the AFP, the commercialization of health and education, the safeguarding of water for human life, the protection of the environment and the rejection of precarious work? Everything seems to be very well elaborated. Continue reading Manifesto of the October 18th Movement →

Threat Library: Six Repressive Operations Added

Chile: 2019-2020 case against Mónica and Francesco

In 2020, anarchists Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar were arrested in Chile, accused of sending parcel bombs to a police station and an ex-Minister of Interior in 2019, and placing bombs in a park in an attempt to harm cops in 2020. Both were charged with attempted murder.

Germany: Repression against Zündlumpen

In April 2022 and October 2022 several apartments and cellars, a print shop and a library were raided by cops as part of an investigation against the alleged editors of the German anarchist newspaper Zündlumpen published from 2019 to 2021.

During the April 2022 raid on the print shop, cops seized thousands of books, zines and newspapers, as well as all printing equipment and materials, seemingly in an attempt to disrupt the printing capacity of local anarchists.

Spain: One Less Naturgy Car in Complicity with Monica and Francisco By Insolent Indomitables Provoking Anarchy

One Less Naturgy Car in Complicity with Monica and Francisco

13/7/23

The early morning of July 13, a group of insolent people stopped daily time for a few seconds to place an incendiary device in a car belonging to Naturgy in the neighborhood of Horta.

Naturgy unlimitedly exploits the resources of the earth and drives the machinery of the capitalist system creating rivers and rivers of blood; Blood of the people of the plundered villages, the workers – those who protest and those who do not – even those who pay them unbearable prices to amass their wealth. For every euro they earn: one car less! It only takes a few household materials and arming ourselves with our well-deserved thirst for revenge to go out one night to cause damage.

(Chile) words by Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar at the beginning of the trial.

Words by Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar at the beginning of the trial.
July 16, 2023

In the next few days will begin the culminating phase of this long judicial process that has kept us in prison for the last 3 years. This oral trial should not take very long insofar as Francisco assumed responsibility for the actions, politically vindicating each one of the attacks. However, everything indicates that the prosecution will spare no effort and resources to achieve all possible aggravations, making this instance the precise moment in which Power will come down with all its brutality.

These 3 years have meant the strengthening of ties of affinity and solidarity with various anarchist spaces of this territory and other distant ones, as well as being part of the coordination of anarchist and subversive prisoners raising multiple initiatives of struggle together with a clear anti-prison perspective. In short, these years have meant facing life in prison with dignity, never ceasing for a moment to be an active part of the informal anarchist galaxy, constantly trying to break with the exclusive role of “prisoner” to which Power tries to delimit us.

Words From Comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva
July 16, 2023

Dear comrades: as incredible as it may seem to you, I have as yet had neither the desire, nor the ability, nor the will to sit down in front of a machine to (re)-announce my (re)-return to this frenetic world… in any case I have the will to share these brief words.

Be that as it may, finally the truth prevails, and their gray state officials should have recognized that they have kept me KIDNAPPED for many more years than what their “democratic” laws and rights commonly and ordinarily announce.

CHILE: Words of Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners in Struggle in the Chilean Prisons

Words of Anarchist and Subversive Prisoners in Struggle in the Chilean Prisons

July 11, 2023

Monica, Francisco, Joaquín, Juan and Marcelo Speak.

– Our emphasis, challenges and urgencies:
– 50 years after pinochet’s civic-military coup, his juridical legacy shamefully endures in the heavy sentences of the military court for comrade Marcelo Villarroel.
-In the context of the beginning of the trial of power against comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar, domination does not cease to take vengeance against those who go on the offensive attacking their untouchable impunity.
Since we constituted ourselves as a space of collective affinity, 3 years ago, among comrade prisoners of the social war in struggle and resistance inside the prisons of the Chilean state, we defined that our priority was and is to seek freedom as a point of rupture with the daily normality of the existant and its prison society that locks us up as punishment for our unrenounceable decision to fight for total liberation.

In this journey and indissoluble encounter of anarchists and anti-authoritarian subversives, who are the living reflection of revolutionary struggle through practices of minority violence in Chile in the last decades, we have faced our long stay behind bars in the different moments and places we have had to pass through with fortitude and conviction. That is why, with the necessary clarity demanded by our position of life in struggle, today we want to share our unavoidable urgencies and from here we call for permanent mobilization, active solidarity, and Insurrectionist complicity.

Words of Comrade Lucas Hernández 6 Months After the Arrests for the Gendarmería Case (Chile)

Words of Comrade Lucas Hernández 6 Months After the Arrests for the Gendarmería Case

June 26, 2023

“For me, there was no alternative to freedom except death. I didn’t conceive of the term prison or jail as anything but a synonym for death…” Juan José Garfia

Months go by without much of anything new, inserted in this stronghold of the underworld, which is silenced and hidden. It is difficult to understand that your movement is guarded and limited at every moment. It is easy to nourish myself with hatred if my eyes see daily officials, abuses, bars and uniforms in this implanted and repugnant routine, which overwhelms and suffocates.

But that does not paralyze or torment. Neither their punishments nor their decorated clothes make me doubt my ideas and position towards this system of domination. In this process I have had the good fortune to live and experience political imprisonment with various comrades. Supporting each other, but we will not always be together, nor close, nor prisoners. Anti-prison solidarity has brought us together.

A dance with time. Greetings, year seven

A dance with time. Greetings, year seven

Greetings from nowhere.

“Freedom is secured not by the fulfillment of one’s desires, but by the removal of desire.”
– Epictetus

My journey into clandestinity began 7 years ago today. It was July 10, 2016, the sun was heating up the city and for most of the people I met that day it was just another Sunday. For me, that day was both an end and a beginning. Giving up my old and beloved reality of life, replaced by the great unknown variable. Leaving the old behind me, welcoming the new. A painful and overwhelming start of the journey… From then on I was confronted with the unknown every day, resembling a person who has lost their sight from one day to the next and now has to focus on their other senses.

I wandered around, looking for anchor points, and after long months, with patience and persistence, finally regained my bearings. My life was back on track, or so I thought… What had to come was coming. The next big shock hit me and once again life held its instruction manual in front of my nose; leave the old behind, welcome the new. Clandestinity is a rigorous study full of hardships, but the fruits of it will be a lifetime harvest for me.

Number of the day: 89,502 preventive surveillance measures (France)

Number of the day: 89,502 preventive surveillance measures

Among the tedious publications that the French state releases every year to offer a semblance of democratic veneer is the annual report of the Commission Nationale de Contrôle des Techniques de Renseignement (CNCTR), the body created in 2015 to monitor the proper use of spying measures deployed by these agencies. The release of its 2022 Annual Report on June 15 may have passed somewhat unnoticed, but it’s still worth extracting a few bits of information. All the more so since the report details the official array of surveillance measures carried out on their own initiative, upstream and as a preventive measure, by all the intelligence agencies, leaving us to imagine how this expansion can then be translated into additional prolonged surveillance in a judicial rather than administrative framework (in the form of opening a preliminary investigation or inquiry, which the person who is targeted will not immediately be aware of).

To begin with, let us remind you of the list of agencies concerned by the following figures, which are the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure (DGSE), the Direction Générale de la Sécurité Intérieure (DGSI), the Direction du Renseignement et de la Sécurité de la Défense (DRSD), the Direction du Renseignement Militaire (DRM), the Direction nationale du Renseignement et des Enquêtes douanières (DNRED) and the Unité de Traitement du Renseignement et Action contre les Circuits financiers clandestins (Tracfin), plus the so-called second-circle agencies, namely the Direction du Renseignement de la Préfecture de Police de Paris (DRPP) ; the Service central du Renseignement territorial (SCRT, ex-RG), the Sous-Direction de l’Anticipation opérationnelle (SDAO) and the Service national du Renseignement pénitentiaire (SNRP). It should also be pointed out that these figures are, of course, the tip of the iceberg, i.e. those recorded within the “legal” framework of supervision by the CNCTR, and not the raw reality in all its complexity, which is obviously greater.
