London,UK : Death to Gentrification, From London to Exarchia

For those of us surviving in London, the birthplace of capitalism and one of the places where the process of deterritorization, gentrification and individualisation of social life has reached its furthest phase, Exarchia has served as an example of resistance and counter-attack against those same forces for many years.

As we struggle to fight against the death-machine of the colonialist capitalist heteropatriarchal white-supremacist nation-state in order to carve out a small measure of free and unmediated life, Exarchia reminds us what was taken from us and inspires us to create it once again. Not through the spectacular images of riot-porn distributed for the consumption of anarcho-voyeurs from around the world, but with its refusal to allow the social relations and spaces that compose the beating heart of the neighborhood to die.

8/7/22 : Medical opinion for the hunger striker Giannis Michailidis (Greece)

The health condition of hunger striker Giannis Michailidis, who is on his 46th day of hunger strike and is under guard at Lamia General Hospital, is at an extremely critical point.

First of all, I would like to emphasize and make it known that although it is legally foreseen for any prisoner to appoint his personal doctor to examine and monitor him, in this case and despite the relevant permission, I was not allowed to have a clinical examination in person, our communication was between bars and in the presence of the police officer right next to me, thus abolishing medical confidentiality since he was listening and watching all our communication.

Giannis white blood cell count has dropped so far below the lower normal limit that it now poses a threat to the striker. Leukopenia leads to severe immunodeficiency. Platelets are also very low and Thrombocytopenia can cause severe and threatening bleeding. There is anaemia that is getting worse, disturbance in liver function, hypocalcaemia.

Italy: Cassation of the ”Scripta Manent” trial

The cassation for the ”Scripta Manent” trial ended on 6 July.

The court requalified the explosive attack against the carabinieri cadet school of Fossano (Cuneo) of June 2nd 2006, claimed by Rivolta Anonima e Tremenda/ Federazione Anarchica Informal [Anonymous and Tremendous Revolt/Informal Anarchist Federation] and which Anna and Alfredo were accused of, into “political massacre” (art. 285 of the criminal code), referring to the court of Turin for the aggravating recalculation of the sentence. All the other sentences were confirmed including 1 year and 9 months and 2 years and 6 months for 11 comrades and acquittals for the rest of the accused, convictions and acquittals that have thus become final.

The time will come for more in-depth reflections. What seems evident is the State’s determination to break the anarchist movement and the revolutionary struggle, further worsening what emerged from the Turin court with a ruling that does not seem to contain any margin for review. As the contradictions on which this society rests become more and more ungovernable, before social tensions take unmanageable forms for power, the State is trying to strike a blow to the movement and send out a warning to those who do not give up: two or three years for writing a newspaper, dozens of years in prison and even life imprisonment for those who pass to the road of action.

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

The Saint-Jean fire in Bonnefoy
IAATA, July 6, 2022

Joyous solidarity by Lucienne Ducrime

Thinking of the comrade imprisoned in Villepinte accused of burning diplomatic cars and of all those who continue to conspire and attack. However, solidarity should not cause us to idolize perfect and sacred figures, let’s remain critical of the mistakes of companions while not remaining indifferent to repression.

We know well why it burned
For St. John’s Day, in Bonnefoy
A freshly installed cam
Rue Michel-Ange, it burned out.

How not to lose one’s head,
Scrutinized by the police eyes?
With thoughts of the companion
In Villepinte locked up.

We who liked so much
Attack and mutual aid all the time
Let’s not forget the Parisian.

A rich of the 17th district snitched
To the 17 who caught him.
It’s scary to be hit by the state.
We knew it, but we did it

We who liked so much
To make pretty fires for the Saint-Jean
In solidarity,
We always wanted to revolt

Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for the attack at the Tax Office of Maroussi area on 07/072022

Ανάληψη ευθύνης για την έκρηξη στη ΔΟΥ Αμαρουσίου

Taking responsibility for the attack at the Tax Office of Maroussi area on 07/072022

On 07/07/2022 at 04.00 we carried out a symbolic attack with two kilos of explosive material at the Tax Office of Maroussi in solidarity with the anarchist hunger striker Giannis Michailidis.

The reasons for the hunger strike should already be known nationally. However, there is silence on this issue too, with very few reports. The fact is that any “opposition” and “journalism” follows orders and keeps agreements, reaching a new level in recent years with the deliberate concealment of facts or their distortion. The omerta that prevails in public discourse is, on the one hand, a prerequisite for dealing harshly with the hunger striker and, on the other hand, forces us to upgrade our means.

Kirzhach (Russia): anarchist sabotage of a military train line

Anarchist sabotage of a military train line

translated from Russian via the anarchist website a2day, June 28, 2022

The Vladimir cell of the Anarcho-Communist Fighting Organization (БОАК-Владимир1) assumes responsibility for the sabotage of the railroad line leading to military unit 55443 in Barsovo (51st arsenal of the Main Branch of Missiles and Artillery of the Russian Ministry of Defense), near Kirzhach, Vladimir Oblast.

Unlike the previous attack, where we took responsibility for the sabotage without waiting for the result (we decided to publish the information to show everyone how possible it was to attack), for the following actions we chose the strategy of waiting for the result, not publishing a report until success was achieved or it was known that the sabotage had been detected.
