Athens, Greece: About Anarchist comrade Giorgos Aggeletakis’s death…

About Anarchist comrade Giorgos Aggeletakis’s death…

As for me, I had many wonderful moments, since I was never of this world… and for he who wants to live truly, it helps a lot to be written off from the beginning.
T. Livaditis (was a Greek poet, short story writer)

On Wednesday, October 9, 2024, the anarchist Giorgos Angeletakis passed away, fighting until his last breath with the heart problem he had.

Comrade Giorgos, from the first march he participated in, at the Polytechnic in 1980 at the age of just 14 years, until the end gave his presence tirelessly and consistently to every struggle for social liberation. From class struggles, working in factories and construction sites from a young age, to defending imprisoned and persecuted fighters. Always in the forefront on the street, in the assemblies, in the events, in the posters, through his writings.

He was to the end an uncompromising fighter, a fighting revolutionary, a true man, who walked with dignity throughout his life with the ideals of solidarity, equality, freedom, Anarchy and Communism.

The void he leaves is great, but he will live forever in our hearts and thoughts.

He will always accompany us until Victory.

Have a good trip comrade and good luck.

I’m not afraid, die whenever you want,
but the glass of life is already overflowing

friends and comrades

Athens Greece : MARCH IN DEFENSE GREENERY AND FREE PUBLIC SPACES SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER, 13:00 PM MONASTIRAKI SQUARE

DEMONSTRATION  MARCH OF DEFENSE OF GREEN AND FREE AND PUBLIC SPACES

SATURDAY 19 OCTOBER, 1PM MONASTIRAKI SQUARE

On October 19th at 13.00 in Monastiraki we participate and support together with a number of collectives from different neighborhoods of Attica the course of defense of open spaces and greenery. Parks, squares, hills and the urban green in general are under constant attack by the authorities, municipalities, corporations and the state, which act destructively for profit and the suppression of lives that resist or do not fit into their molds. Greenery is disappearing and the city we live in is turning more and more into a cement city surrounded by the ashes of burnt forests . A suffocating city that welcomes tourists and the rich, while ignoring, repressing or displacing from its center the poorest strata, the immigrant women and people who fight against the violent destruction of everyday life. They want a gray city, sterile and guarded by cameras and uniformed killers, we colorful and self-organized neighborhoods .

In the past, mainly against the Municipality of Athens and Bakoyannis, (mayor) many assemblies for squares and parks resisted the encroachment of capital and the annihilation of greenery, creating a series of collective resistance in the neighborhoods. These battles for the defense of green open spaces were linked to initiatives in various areas of Attica Athens from Baroutadiko in Aegaleo to the Shooting Range in Kaisariani and the Platonos Academy in Kolonos.

TWELVE HUNTING TOWERS DEMOLISHED, LEAVING ONLY NINE LEFT IN THE HUNTER’S GROUNDS. (France)

past years, Mornas France.

ENGLISH (translation):

“In Mornas (Vaucluse), hunters are wondering who is destroying their tree stands. These 1.50-2 m towers are erected in the wild to make hunting safer: the bullet is no longer fired horizontally, but towards the ground at an angle of 30 degrees.

For several years now, the watchtowers of the sixty Mornas hunters have been deliberately damaged. The towers are sawed off, torn from their bases and attached to the cars with cables. A few years ago, there were 21 watchtowers. Now there are just 9!

The hunters speak of “sabotage” and are worried about the future of their hunting area: the 1,100 hectares of the Uchaux hill are also very popular with hikers and mountain bikers. The Mornas hunters have not lodged a complaint, but they are concerned about the sharing of nature.

What we did on 7 October 2023

For a year now, every person on the planet who is not indifferent or excluded from the general forms of information, when they hear this date, they automatically associate it with a specific event of historical significance. And yet, all this time, apart from the Palestinian resistance, only the NATO imperialists and their subordinates have been referring to this date, in the terms of counter-revolution, the narratives of “counter-terrorism”, in order to exonerate the genocide of a revolted people.

The testimony of resistance creates in immediate time the continuity of living memory, relaying and extending the power of revolutionary experience. Against this experience stand the narratives which take a distance from the testimony of the resistance subject, as well as the silence that, like a threateningly insidious command, objectively established, attempts to eliminate the historical intrusions of those revolutionary initiatives that are subversive for the rulers’ order.

Text of the anarchist Fotis Tziotzis about his vindictive detention in the garbage dump of Grevena prison (Thessaloniki,Greece)

Text of the anarchist Fotis Tziotzis about his vindictive detention in the garbage dump of Grevena prison.

I think that after 5 months of conscious silence, it’s time to say a few words about the general regime of detention that the repression mechanisms are building against me. The issues of Greek prisons are more or less known and not only are there no attempts to solve them, but they are constantly increasing. Prisoners suffer daily from the obvious indifference of the State, which is now clearly being supplemented by vindictiveness towards us.

Speaking about my own journey through prisons, about the vindictiveness and obsession with my person, I do not speak in terms of a victim, I do not speak with any predilection for regret or repentance. I speak as a recalcitrant prisoner, who for so many years does not give up, does not back down, is not touched by their tricks – in simple words, I do not even see them. For all these reasons, 4 months ago, they vengefully shuffled me from Domokos prison to the garbage dump of Grevena  prison (a condition that is beginning to become a norm for other prisoners as well), as a first punitive move against the events surrounding the attack with a trapped parcel on the scumbag-president of appeals Thess/niki Anastasia Anthopoulou.

Forest of Dean, UK: Sabotage attack upon hunting towers in solidarity with anarchist comrade Toby Shone & the pine martins

Sabotage attack upon hunting towers in solidarity with anarchist comrade Toby Shone & the pine martins

7th October 2024

We made a choice to saw into 2 hunting towers in Staunton and the other NR St. Briavels, both in the Forest of Dean. This simple action was taken with the thoughts in our minds of pine martins in Germany and Switzerland that chew into brake cables whilst keeping warm and snuggled up to cooling down engines and also not forgetting the martins in the UK that were pretty much wiped out for their taste in game bird, their eggs and caged poultry, but now some 60 pairs have been released back into the wilds of the Forest of Dean.

So this bring us to welcome Toby Shone who’s to be released from HMP Garth NR Manchester early next month (9th Nov) who before his imprisonment enjoyed over a decade of his life in this beautiful countryside. Good luck with your future Toby!

Ps These towers and others were attacked previously in the past, but metal straps were attached to protect them since the last attack. These straps were cut all in the day time, while the chair and hunting clothes we found there have been put to better use

Police news on the investigation into sabotage against the Olympics (France)

[Everyone knows that the major international news agencies are linked to states, and in particular to their intelligence services. And Reuters, founded in London in 1851 and once again one of the giants of the market since its takeover by the Canadian group Thomson in 2007, is no exception to the rule. With this in mind, yesterday it released a long “exclusive” dispatch that lifts a small corner of the veil on the investigation into the sabotage of the opening of the Paris Olympic Games. Entitled “Exclusive: France seeks FBI help in probe of high-speed train sabotage hours before Olympics”, we thought this Reuters document drawn from North American sources might be of interest to curious readers.]

PARIS, Aug 7 (Reuters) – Police in France investigating the sabotage of high-speed rail lines hours before the Paris Olympics’ Opening Ceremony have asked the U.S. FBI for help, two sources with direct knowledge of the French inquiry said.

Suspected arson at Atlanta construction site of Brent Scarborough and Company, Inc. (USA)

Law enforcement agencies are investigating a suspected arson in Atlanta early Wednesday at a construction site of a company previously targeted in similar incidents over its role in the building of the police and fire training facility that has faced a long-running protest and opposition movement.

It happened at a cleared lot on Memorial Drive next to new apartments as part of what appears to be a construction project.

Wednesday’s suspected arson follows on several other incidents that have targeted construction sites over connections to the building of the public safety training center.

Saint-Amand-sur-Ornain (Meuse) France : Railroad sabotage – TRAIN TO NOWHERE

 Railroad sabotage – TRAIN TO NOWHERE

(Indymedia Lille 9th of August)

Over the summer, we bent a rail with a hydraulic bottle jack on the old railroad line between Nançois-Tronville and Gondrecourt-le-Château. We chose to operate precisely between Tréveray and Saint-Amand-sur-Ornain, not far from the field where the Burelesques festival of resistance to Cigéo will be held from August 16 to 18.

In a few years’ time, the SNCF plans to put these rails back into service to transport the nuclear waste that the French government would like to bury at Bure. Public consultations were held in 2022 on this rail project, and SNCF subcontractors have since begun measuring the route. This would involve 36 km of rehabilitated former railroad line, running right through the middle of villages (perhaps foreshadowing a future stage of expropriations in a few years’ time?). ANDRA also envisions the convoy of six 100-meter-long radioactive trains at 40 km/h per month for 100 years.
