Athens: Responsibility claim for participation in street clashes on October 19th

2-1

During the night of Wednesday October 19th we took part, alongside many other groups and individualities, in the street clashes around the Polytechnic in Exarchia, that lasted for several hours with constant attacks with molotovs, stones and fireworks against antiriot police squads.

Street clashes, in any of their forms (exiting university premises through incendiary means, rioting in demonstrations, etc.), are part of the multiform anarchic attack against Power and the imposed normality. Because of their characteristics, this is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate the conflict between anarchy and the world of Power. This is why we support the diffusion of this and other forms of struggle that aim to destabilize and spread chaos until the collapse of the existent.

But we don’t want to limit ourselves in a routine of anticop hate; along with the attacks against the cops, we promote the practice of attack against the structures and symbols of domination, from the most obvious like banks and ministries, to those urban elements that serve the normal function of the metropolis: road signs, traffic lights, cameras, bus stops… as well the representations, symbols and idols of Power in the form of icons, monuments, statues…

At the same time, barricades and attacks on public transportation (buses, trolleybuses, metro… without passengers inside) are forms of interruption of the normal flow of people and commodities, and sabotage against the state and private companies that manage this flow.

All those symbols and structures represent or serve a function of the authoritarian civilization we want to destroy, so they’ll always be a target for us.

We don’t see anarchic violence as a sacrifice or as a revolutionary obligation; instead, we demystify it, we turn it into a banality, we use it in a ludic way, making it obtainable for everybody, without professionalisms or restrictions.

No act of rebellion is useless!

Riots everywhere!

Strength to the prisoners and the persecuted!

DENVER: STARBUCKS VANDALIZED IN SOLIDARITY WITH PRISON STRIKE

smash

On the night of Monday October 24th we attacked a Starbucks on Colfax Ave here in Denver, CO because of their use of prison slavery. We smashed out almost almost of the windows and glass doors, including those of the drive-thru window and painted graffiti reading “#PRISONSTRIKE” and “END PRISON SLAVERY” on the building and also painted the drive-thru menu board.

We did this in solidarity with all those held captive in the prisons and jails who have been fighting so fiercely and bravely as part of the ongoing prison strike that started on September 9th. Your resistance and strength has been both inspirational and beautiful to us and we hope in turn this action inspires you to keep fighting and taking action on the inside.

A match has been lit; we are realizing our collective strength; the fire is spreading; our resistance is growing stronger and larger every day. Let continue to fan the flames of this fire until it burns down every prison and jail and this entire society built on systems of exploitation and domination!

LONG LIVE THE STRIKE!

VICTORY TO THE PRISON REBELS!

Solidarity means ATTACK!

With love and solidarity – some Denver anarchist

UPDATE:

The next morning it came to our knowledge that the Starbucks had been closed down for the day because of our actions. It should also be noted that aside from a sign in front of the store stating an apology for the closure that there was also a large banner draped over the “END PRISON SLAVERY” tag in an effort to conceal it… FUCK STARBUCKS!

Santiago, Chile: Explosive attack against a State Bank branch by Autonomous Brigades for the Fire

kaboom

The night of October 23, commune of Macul, Santiago. The eve of the electoral farce.

We claim the sabotage of Banco Estado (State Bank).

There are plenty of motives for arson and for realizing the anarchic offensive against their temples of money.

With this action we extend our commitment to the revolt. Maximum willingness for the intensification of the conflict against State Capital, Power and all authority.

We send greetings to all the imprisoned comrades facing judicial trials and processes in the coming weeks.

C.C.F. – For Alfreddo and Anna – until we meet.

181789-pirines

(We received 24/10/16)

In Italy, comrade Alfredo Cospito since October 3rd and comrade Anna Beniamino since October 10th, are on a hunger strike against the isolation imposed on them and on the anarchists imprisoned for the attacks of FAI too (“scripta manent” operation). We know that the struggle against authority is unequal ..Nevertheless we choose the war for freedom instead of the peace of fear.

Because we know that there are “free” people, which are more slaves than the prisoners, and alive people more dead than most of our dead comrades who fell in the battle for freedom.

Because for every battle that we lose, a new one begins.

“Because if I don’t get burnt, if you don’t get burnt, how will the darkness turn to shining…”

For us solidarity is not simply a “touching” word, but a way of life, of becoming people with the dream as our measure.

We stand by our comrades Alfredo and Anna with all our heart and mind, until our dream meeting..

[Athens] Gesture of solidarity with the comrades in Chile, that are prosecuted for the PDI case (Contribution to the international solidarity call for 16-21 of October)

lmenmwv

We dont’ have many things to say, but only to furiously shout the battle cry of solidarity with our imprisoned comrades, and of the hate and disgust against everything attempting to oppress and trample our bodies and our desires. Let’s go out in the streets, to make the presence of our sisters/brothers visible out of the prison walls, to make the streets overflow from the noise of the anarchist actions; let’s grab space and moments from the authority and wholeheartedly turn against them. Not many things remain to us. Our love for the comrades that totally feel the custody and repression in daily basis, and also for the sisters/brothers with whom we coexist out here, is enough for us to risk everything, attempting to cause even the minimum damage to the enemy, and also to stand on our feet proud for ourselves.

BULLETS IN THE HEADS OF THE PRISON AND JUDICIAL  EMPLOYEES
MARIA PAS, MANUEL, FELIPE, NATALIA, AMARU, YOU ARE NOT ALONE
WAR AGAINST AUTHORITY IS BEING CONTINUED, AND WE OUGHT TO TAKE OUR MEASURES AND ARM OURSELVES AGAINST IT

As a response to the international solidarity call (16-21 of October) for the comrades in Chile that are prosecuted for the PDI case, we hung a banner that says:

SOLIDARITY WITH OUR COMRADES IN CHILE THAT ARE PROSECUTED
FOR INCENDIARY ATTACK TO COP STATION AT 2014
FROM GREECE TO CHILE
LET NO PRISON STAY UPRIGHT

[Athens] About the hunger strike of Alfredo Cospito and Anna Beniamino in the italian prisons

r7xnf2w

We will analyze nothing and we won’t come out with sterile and bleak fanfares. Our solidarity with our imprisoned comrades in Italy is a given fact. In any case, the complex of the ascendent relationships is totally rival to us and we are in war with all its expressions, especially with its armed forms (repression, correction). From authority and its flock we expect the worst, and we can’t treat in a different tactical way, if we want to cause even the minimum serious hurt. From our position, we perceive the hunger strike, except from means of resistance against repression, also as means of extortion and exploitation of the humanitarian mask that the states try to have in the eyes of the european cultural stage, and as this (means) we hope to have effect and cause the retreat of the enemy.

STRENGTH, OUR BROTHERS/SISTERS
WE DON’T LET OUR IMPRISONED COMRADES IN THE HANDS OF REPRESSION
ATTACK RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW TO ANY EXPRESSION OF THE AUTHORITARIAN MECHANISM

As a minimum praxis of solidarity with Alfredo and Anna, we hung a banner that says:

Alfredo, Anna, STRENGTH!
In hunger strike inside the cells, against isolation
and repression that the state imposes
NOTHING IS OVER! THE WAR IS RAGING

Greece: Protests continue in Korydallos Women’s Prison

greekprisons

On Friday Oct. 14th a delegate from the Ministry of Justice came to the women’s prison as per our request. During the meeting we discussed in depth our issues and proposed solutions in order to re-allocate the prison space and satisfy the needs of women prisoners. The main issues concern the integration of the story below our wing into the women’s prison in order to achieve decongestion as well as the necessity of an area for our yard time where we could spend time outside in humane conditions. The discussion moved within the framework of providing information without the ministry making any commitment. However, there was a mutual understanding of our fair demands and a promise to provide solutions to our problems. Until those promises become actions we decided to continue our mobilizing which basically means that the prison will remain open during midday lock down and delay evening lock down by one hour.

Prison of Latina, letter from anarchist Anna Beniamino – Italy

Today – Monday 10th October – I decided to start a hunger strike against
the isolation that I am being subjected to along with other comrades who
are part of this investigation, from the moment of our arrest on 6th
September. This isolation has remain unchanged, despite comrades having
been transferred to different AS2 sections and the custodial
interrogations that have taken place. In solidarity with Alfredo Cospito
who is on hunger strike since 3rd October and is being held in isolation
in the AS2 section of Ferrara prison.
I knowingly use the hunger strike as an instrument that expresses a
minimal sign of reaction to barbarities that are rooted in captivity and
authority.
As always, I keep anarchism in my heart and mind, hold love and respect
for all the untamable comrades outside and inside prison, have rage in
my teeth and a smile on my lips.
Anna
