Athens, Greece: Incendiary solidarity with Evi Statiri and Athena Tsakalou

At dawn on September 2, 2015 we torched:

- 2 National Bank ATMs in the neighborhood of Galatsi
- 1 ATM of Alpha Bank in Patisia district
- 1 Piraeus Bank ATM in the suburb of Peristeria
- as well as smashing a Piraeus Bank ATM in the district of Galatsi

Our only motivation was our desire to attack. Attacking a prison-society that tries to mold, discriminate and classify our needs, desires and relationships and adapt them to serve it's objectives: the perpetuation of a system of repression and the strategic manipulation of subjectivity and diversity.

The commitment we have to succeed as anarchists is the following one: ensuring that we impose the flow of our world that runs on the rhythms that determine our anarchistic wills away from the lights of the machines of Power; against the social reality of economic, scientific and ideological domination, the morality of commerce and of a world that is classified and commodified to produce questions with ready-made answers.

Against this framework of domination we choose to continue insurrectionist action in the here and now. It is clear that the apparatus of power will do all that it can to repress anything that is opposed to the economizing of life. This has the consequence of it being socially acceptable for power to be applied to the greatest extent in prisons. In the dungeons of democracy there are those who choose to act on the basis of their desires for freedom instead of accepting servitude and nonexistence. The anarchist prisoners are our comrades in the war against the existent and we are not going to abandon them to their fates between the jaws of the judicial complex of shit. We must not forget our imprisoned comrades but we do not have to idolize them. We would like to make it clear that we do not fear the consequences of our actions nor any questions or doubts about their value. 

The prisoner's positions have remained consistent and unaltered despite the conditions of their confinement. This is why the authorities uses the dirtiest methods to try and break them. The organs of Power with their characteristic vendetta do not hesitate to criminalize solidarity as well as family and personal relationships making it's vindictive mania even more obvious - as in the case of Athena Tsakalou, mother of Gerasimos and Christos Tsakalos and of the life partner of Gerasimos, Evi Statiri.

This first wave of attacks is a response to the vindictive blows of the State, as well as a signal of solidarity with anarchist prisoners worldwide.

Genoa, Italy: Sabotage Against Italsite Spa In Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners

AGAINST THE DICTATORSHIP OF TECHNOLOGY

The present society is without doubt best described as a technocratic system where global science operates unrestrained and the products they put on the market dominate and govern life.

The multinational companies maintain their dominion over the planet via the States and their international institutions (UN, EU, IMF, ECB).

The hyper-technological society is the perfect accompaniment to meet two primary requirements of Power: profit and social control.

Thanks to the modern deities of science and technology, profit knows no limits with endless military contracts and an incredible amount of useless products continuously marketed.

Social control of life is now becoming more and more widespread as it evolves from simple surveillance cameras to the use of nanotechnology.

The people, already deprived of their autonomy and their own free wll are indoctrinated into this fabulous world of science via a partial and fictitious access to technology.

With the chimera of improving the quality of life the only real effects are unbridled production, the atrophying of people's minds and abilities, the cancellation of genuine emotions and finally life itself.

Meanwhile what remains of nature is devastated to build mega-projects to ensure the speedier travel of goods and faster access to information.

Meanwhile the general indifference continues as television transmits images of people massacred and starved to exploit the resources required to increase the production of consumer goods.

For once we decided to evade control and threaten the profits of the technocratic society.

We set fire to the power cables for a repeater owned by Italsite Spa, a company that specializes in the telecommunications sector in Italy and Europe.

Czech Republic: Network of Revolutionary Cells (SRB) torch a cop car in response to Operation Fenix

SRB (Network of Revolutionary Cells communique: Police car torched in response to Operation Fenix

In the early hours of Saturday, July 4, 2015 we torched a police car outside the Praha-Bubny police station. This was in response to the police and state repression against anarchists. Since April 28, 2015 when the police launched 'Operation Fenix', four anarchists have been arrested and held in custody. Wild Heart Cell sends a message with this sabotage: We will not tolerate such violence by the state and we will fight against it!

With the launch of 'Operation Fenix' cops have declared war against the anarchist movement. They thought they could scare us into giving up. They have made a mistake, we will never give up. We are moving into counterattack.

They want to suffocate the resistance but they only add more fuel to the fire.

Czech Republic: SRB torch cop car in solidarity with anarchist prisoner Alešem Kočím

SRB (Network of Revolutionary Cells) Communique: Police car torched in solidarity with Alešem Kočím

On Wednesday, July 1st, 2015, a police car was set on fire in Prague. It occurred on the outskirts of the park near the Srašnická metro station. As part of the ongoing struggle an SRB cell attacked the police car to send a fiery greeting to Alešem Kočím. For his anarchist beliefs in class warfare, Alešem fell into the hands of the state. On the 28th April, 2015 he was detained by the police during 'Operation Fenix' and was subsequently charged with possession of illegal weapons. He now sits in custody as a prisoner of the state.

The state and it's institutions have a huge arsenal of weapons and have created a monopoly on their use. They constantly use them in order to keep the capitalist construct in motion - the network of exploitative and oppressive relations. Anarchists do not accept the state's monopoly on weapons. Anarchist praxis confronts the values the defend and reproduce state violence. State violence against anarchists builds insurgent violence.

Alešem Kočím is an anarchist who disrupted the state's monopoly on the use of weapons by being armed. SRB supports such a stance. While Alešem is in the hands of the enemy this limits his potential for future struggle but we do not intend to accept this situation. Incendiary words, fire, weapons and explosives - it's all part of our struggle. Revolutionary struggle against the violence perpetrated by the state to preserve the misery of capitalism. So far we have only used fire to ignite cars. Next time however will not be the same.

Czech Republic: New arson attack by Network of Revolutionary Cells in Prague

SRB Communique: The fourth arson attack on Řízkárnu

Network of Revolutionary Cells / SRB have conducted another arson attack at a Řízkárna restaurant in Prague. At dawn on Friday, June 26, another car was torched at Řízkárny. Responsibility for the sabotage is claimed by N95 Cell. V. Krulec acquired cars and other equipment for his restaurant via the unpaid work of his employees. The sabotage was carried out in order to decommission the car so that he could not use it for the further exploitation and robbery of workers.

Sabotage is both a means of defense and of attack. It is one of many methods that can be accessed by angry proletarians in the fight against the capitalist filth.

Egypt: The return of Black Bloc

After a long period of apparent inactivity Egypt's Black Bloc anarchist group have exploded back onto the scene with a series of arson attacks and street actions against police, corporate and regime targets. 

Black Bloc Egypt first emerged in January 2013 with a wave of firebombings and street fights against the police and SCAF (Egyptian army) during the struggle against the Islamist regime of Mohamed Morsi. A vicious crackdown against the group began in February 2013 that resulted in many arrests / detentions and all Black Bloc related social media pages in Egypt were shut down and removed. This pattern of arrests and detentions continued under the new regime of General Al-Sisi as part of a crackdown against the wider left movement in Egypt.  It was presumed by most that Black Bloc Egypt had been crushed with all of it's members either killed or detained by the regime or gone into hiding.

This theory was proven wrong in May 2015 when a new Black Bloc Egypt Facebook page appeared. It wasn't long until the group began posting photographic claims of responsibility for direct actions beginning with a claim for an action on May 23 in which several surveillance cameras were disabled and removed from service. On May 29 another 4 actions were claimed - arson attacks against two different Vodafone stores in Cairo (see here and here), a burning barricade outside a courthouse in Cairo and molotovs and clashes against the security forces also in Cairo.

In early June the Al-Sisi regime announced that they had  arrested the 'leader' of the Black Bloc, Mohamed Al-Masri. Mohamed had been sentenced in absentia on February 4, 2015 to 25 years imprisonment for his supposed involvement in the first wave of Black Bloc actions however the case against him is highly suspect and bears all the hallmarks of a frame-up by the regime.

Despite the arrest of their supposed 'leader', Black Bloc attacks have continued in June, the most recent actions have been a fire on the tracks that stopped the Upper Egypt to Cairo train on June 14 and an arson attack against a government building in Cairo on June 16 in protest at the torture of detainees.

Solidarity with the Black Bloc comrades in Egypt and their brave struggle against the military regime!

Down with SCAF and the Al-Sisi regime, long live Black Bloc!

Greece: Personal vehicles of cops torched in memory of Spyros Dravilas

SPYROS DRAVILAS’ LAST FLIGHT

Absolutely true accounts of prisoners back then, say that when Spyros Dravilas (who until then pretended to be a rich kid who liked to fly around with helicopters) ordered the pilot to fly down over the prisons of Korydallos, Vassilis Paleokostas was waving a red banner with Che Guevara on it, in order to signal the landing spot in the yard of the 1st wing.

What an unbelievably beautiful moment when “… one more attack on this world was put into motion…”.

Spyros Dravilas lived the years that followed on the edge, with moments of attack on the world of uniformed murderers, of money, of snitching, of the correctional beast. And maybe his exit could not
have been carried out in a less absolute way than the way he lived.

So in order for us to honour his memory, on Monday June 8th we torched the personal vehicles of cops on Dikearhou Street in Gouva area and Grammou Street in Marousi area. The memory of Spyros Dravilas should remain for ever alive in the  thoughts of those who continue the war,inside and outside the prisons.

A raised fist and strength to anarchist Grigoris Tsironis and to Spyros Christodoulou.

Czech Republic: Arson attack against a car of exploitative business Řízkárnou by Network of Revolutionary Cells

On Thursday, May 14, 2015 an action took place in which a company car belonging to Řízkárnou restaurant was torched. The responsibility for this action is claimed by Abrek Zelimchan Cell. This action is proof that the Network of Revolutionary Cells (SRB) was not paralyzed by the police repression that has been aimed at the Czech anarchist movement. The cops are trying to break the anarchist movement but they are failing. Their aggression only gives more impetus to the formation of new cells that are ready to expand the insurgent network. 

We could not hide our joy regarding the two previous arson attacks against Řízkárnou by Revolutionary Cells in March 2015. They inspired us to connect with them via praxis. Řízkárnou is one of thousands of sites where exploitation of workers takes place. Vladimír Krulec, the owner, does not even pay his workers. Economic sabotage against his car speaks for those who know that change is not something that falls from the sky but is something that is born from struggle.

The cell responsible for the torching of the car is named after a Chechen guerrilla who died in combat against the state. We do not want to build a personality cult, the cell name only symbolizes the immortal nature of rebellious passion. Despite the repression the attacks will continue again and again against the exploitation of resources. While some rebels fall in battle, others keep coming. You can imprison, torture and kill the rebels but the rebellion is unstoppable. Rebellion is immortal, Rebellion is contagious.

Antwerp, Belgium: Fire destroys the offices of prison profiteers Fabricom

Antwerp, 31.03.15: After midnight, a fire broke out in the grounds of the company Fabricom (GDF Suez) in Hoboken. The fire destroyed more than 24 containers, used as offices by the company. The fire was particularly violent because of strong winds, firefighters struggled to extinguish it.

Fabricom is a company that is heavily involved in the management of existing prisons, as well as in the construction of new ones. It installs and maintains electricity installations, video surveillance, heating etc. Fabricom also installed the police CCTV network in different areas of Brussels. So the fact that these structures get ravaged by nocturnal fires can only be good news.
