Chile: Barricades & clashes outside University of Santiago for Mauricio Morales

19.05.15: With burning barricades we once again commemorated the death of Mauricio Morales who died in combat when the explosive device he was taking to the prison guard's school exploded prematurely. 

The fire unleashed today expands like splinters of your freedom!

"Today through the black smoke of our tires, the searing heat of our barricades and the insolence of our insurrectionary act we remember your irreducible life, your eternal love for freedom and your beautiful wish for the whole establishment to fall.

To destroy the last bastion of prison society!

Mauricio Morales, killed in action on May 22nd, 2009."

Greece: Incendiary attacks against Groupama Insurance & McQuilling Partners by Commando Emile Henry

Inter Arma received and translated:

“My hands don’t get used to the artificial connection in virtual universes. Connected lives in wireless networks, my eyes search for the eternal fire of rebellion among the multitude of corpses and only in isolated gazes, the conscious individual emerges with dagger eyes that resists dying in the democratic cemetery. Before going to sleep I embrace chaos as an idea that liberates my body and my mind Because after all, it makes me feel alive. I do not want to search for the grail that will liberate future societies. My fingers search for the bloody flight of the destruction of the chains of the rhythmic fire, of the close fire of power and its masters.”

Mauricio Morales Duarte

This day, six years ago,* comrade Mauricio Morales was heading to the school for prison guards in Santiago, in distant Chile, when suddenly the bomb, which he intended to place there, exploded prematurely depriving him of his life. Six years later, today at dawn, we carried out a double arson attack as a minimum tribute to the memory of the comrade.

We mined a two-storey building on Vouliagmenis avenue in Elliniko, where the offices of the insurance company Groupama Insurance (a subsidiary of the multinational banking group with the same name) and the offices of the multinational shipping company McQuilling Partners are co-located, placing four improvised incendiary devices. With this action we do not anticipate an impact on or the understanding by neither the willingly obedient mass of peaceful citizens nor the irredentist “professionals” of the movement. Of course, the recognition and appropriation of anarchist violent action by young comrades is a positive perspective. However, we do not see this as a condition or constraint for going on the offensive. That would be hypocritical, because part of our mentality and orientation, beyond the theoretical constitution and practice, remains the constant satisfaction of our instincts and desires, something which is far from negligible.

The reference to comrades who acted in past eras, even in other countries of the world, doesn’t aspire to be part of some sort of encyclopaedic record to be used by all types publicist and forgers of history and of our struggle. Neither do we want to give lessons of revolutionary history. Besides, the people more appropriate to talk about struggles of the past are the comrades who are in enemy hands for their choices and the people close to those who fell in battle. Through our actions, we keep alive the memory of the fallen and embody from our bastion the vision of those who were captured by the state!

Every gesture, every word, every syllable, every smile and every breath of anarchist fighters is proof that the anarchist war against the status quo doesn’t retreat, doesn’t get bought, intimidated or compromised and finally that it remains on the edge of the razor of the struggles for individual and collective liberation, despite the continuous suppressive shielding of domination by all means and the hits the anarchist structures and comrades have taken worldwide. The lives of our comrades are priceless and irreplaceable!

Our solidarity with the imprisoned anarchist comrades co-exists in the struggle itself and is daily verified via small and big actions. It is not activated by the method of a metaphysical or petty political automation, because in that case it simply doesn’t exist. Our solidarity is a condition of constant war against the world of authority and a sinful comradely relationship that sometimes remains hidden, like childhood loves, and conspires away from the prying eyes of the babylonian society and sometimes is unpredictably expressed by desecrating the sacred social values. Solidarity with the comrades in war, before and after the prosecutions, with or without a hunger strike!

Through this action of ours, we are given the chance to talk about some serious cases that take place not only in Greece but in Chile also, and about which, we’d like to say so much and do much more:

1. Today, the appeal court of Revolutionary Struggle started in the special court of Korydallos prisons, where Kostas Gournas and Nikos Maziotis, members of the organization and comrades Vaggelis Stathopoulos and Christoforos Kortesis are being trialed. We are confident that the imperious attitude of all comrades, just like in the first trial of the organization, will be a source of inspiration and a bright example of fighting for the rebellious of our generation. A raised fist for the wanted revolutionary Pola Roupa who has claimed responsibility for her participation in the organization. We never forget nor forgive the death of Lambros Fountas, who fell dead with his gun in his hand by police gunfire. Let the anarchist fighters’ trials become convictions of the state and the bosses!

2. Since April 14, comrades Juan Flores, Guillermo Duran and Nataly Casanova, prisoners of war of the Chilean state, are on a hunger strike claiming, inter alia, the end of prosecutions based on DNA and the end of harassments towards their friendly and family environment. (Without any intention to prioritize, we deliberately mention these certain demands, as they remind us of the recent mass hunger strike of the anarchist prisoners in our country and highlight the clearance in which both the struggles inside prison and also the state repressive practices in two different continents take place). Since May 18, in solidarity with their struggle, rebellious prisoners Marcelo Villarroel, Freddy Fuentevilla, Carlos Gutiérrez, Juan Aliste, Alejandro Astorga, Hans Niemeyer, Alfredo Canales are also on a hunger strike. 

Strength to the imprisoned hunger strikers in Chile!

Let our rebellious existence and aggressive activity haunt the metropolises of capitalism and the rotten social status quo…

Because when in your heart freedom, love and anarchy accompany its attacks, anarchy doesn’t die in the mouth but triumphs in active hands.

LONG LIVE INTERNATIONAL ANARCHIST SOLIDARITY

LONG LIVE VIOLENT SUΒVERSIVE MEMORY

For wild life and freedom

For the International Conspiracy of Revenge

"Memory Is Our Weapon" - Conspiracy of Cells of Fire (Greece)

MEMORY IS OUR WEAPON

It was the dawn of May 22, 2009, when an explosion in Santiago, Chile caused fragments which crossed endless kilometers and borders until they brought us the news that were nailed in our hearts.

It was the dawn of May 22, 2009 when our brother and comrade Mauricio Morales, consistent fighter of the anarchist insurrection, put his conspiratorial plan in place, heading to the school of prison guards in Santiago in order to blow it up. But fate played an ugly game that day. The bomb our brother was carrying exploded prematurely resulting in him falling dead, just before achieving his goal.

The news that a brother of ours fell in the middle of a planned conspiracy, a planned act of anarchist attack against one of the most hated institutions of power, against those who are trained in how to systematically and sadistically strangle freedom, caused an avalanche of emotions within us.

We who have felt the breath of death behind us, in a bag on our backs and heading to our target, always with the same anxiety that perhaps we won’t return to our comrades, our friends, our loved ones, always with the thought that maybe this is the last time we cross the path of insurrection, accepted this news overwhelmed.

Immediately we felt Mauricio to be one of us. Our own brother in ideas but also in Actions. We felt a strong sense of affinity and a strong blood bond uniting us. It was as Mauricio was always with us, beside us in the conspiratorial attacks we were weaving against domination.

The initial sorrow was soon turned into rage, into thirst for revenge for our lost brother. We looked at each other in the eyes and gave a silent promise that we will never forget. That Mauricio will always be next to us because he lives within us and through us he will be present in every action and every attack against Authority. Six years later, the same emotions are welling within us, when we think of that day.

 As anarchists we have no martyrs. But we have wonderful brothers and sisters like Mauricio who married life with the beauty of anarchist insurrection ultimately paying the cost with their own lives. Mauricio gave his life once fighting to live the fiery dream of insurrection spitting death in the face while most people of this world worship death daily, strangling their lives in the nightmare of endless conventions and resignations by themselves. Self-imprisoned in their illusion of life, they breathe death, misery and subjugation. Because they fail to understand that life is not just about existing, about surviving as an indifferent inhabitant of the deserted land of the living dead shadows, but about constantly moving, being passionate, enjoying the concentrated and intense feelings and the excitement of rebellion, fighting, not being satisfied with stagnation, inactivity, with the wretched mediocrity of a quiet life, but about constantly seeking the unsatisfied. It’s about not resting on. Honor your negations and even more dare to materialize your desires no matter the cost.

Mauricio, a known denier of the existent, chose to live such a life. He chose to pick the beautiful, invigorating and fully intensive path of anarchist insurrection, away from the subdued and the peaceful ones, away from those who always mind their own business and care about nothing unless the sky crushes them. And we answer to all those who may dare to talk about “poor young men” that ten whole lives are not even worth a day of the insurrectionist and authentic life of our brother.

Memory is not just pages in history books. Memory is the force that steels our will so that we continue fighting. It’s the thrust that pushes us never to retreat. Memory sharpens our hatred and arms our revenge. Memory is the land where we meet with those we lost, those we never met, those we would like on our side in the battle, a battle that as long as it continues, our brothers will live inside thousands of conspiracies planned everywhere around the world, through acts of vandalism and arson, executions, prison escape plans and they will never be left to the oblivion of time. Because memory is the thread that connects all anarchists of Praxis, of the Black International and of FAI/IRF who dedicate their fires and explosions to our missing brothers and sisters with one promise:

WE DO NOT FORGET

WE DO NOT GIVE UP

WE FIGHT UNTIL THE END

For Mauri

For every lost brother and sister

Greece: Text by anarchist prisoner Angeliki Spyropoulou in memory of Mauricio Morales

Note: Mauricio Morales was a young anarchist from Chile who was killed in 2009 when the explosive device he was carrying en route to the prison guard school in Santiago exploded prematurely.

When memory becomes a weapon…

Real life belongs to those who, unwilling to accept any restrictions or chain, arm their desires with strength and courage, follow the instincts and impulses that bloom in them and search for absolute freedom. To those who cast themselves into the abyss and at the same time, are launched to the stars. Such paths are as charming as they are uncertain. These people, unlike the cowardly masses, prefer a life with intensity, regardless of how long will it last. So, having lived with fullness, they can accept their death when the time comes.

Six years ago, the black veil of death covered such a man, anarchist Mauricio Morales. Today, it is proved that neither time nor distance are able to make us forget. It is very important not to get stuck between oblivion and the anniversary ceremony. Comrades like Mauricio Morales remind us of the importance of the continuation of the war we declared against all aspects of the modern civilized world and its morality.

There is no worse death than the one without a cause, the one that is not covered by the wings of an idea and an idea that becomes a dangerous practice, such as the one we shared with Mauricio. As long as we breathe and remain consistent, we prove that tragic losses like his are not without a cause, as long as the fire that burns our heart and leads our minds, the same fire that burned within him too, still burns, then our dead will live through us, through our actions. They will be those bright stars that will accompany each of us, the nights when our negations will become conscious choices and these, in turn, will become actions…

Transforming rage into attack…

Now and forever…

Angeliki Spyropoulou

Santiago, Chile: Incendiary solidarity and memorial action outside UACH

"It is time to act in everyday life for the destruction of the prison society and against any social attempt to reform this disgusting system of death. Solidarity should never be an empty slogan, but a daily action of confrontation with power and constant support for imprisoned combatants in this war to the death." - Mauricio Morales

At noon on Wednesday, May 13 anarchist comrades lit up barricades outside UACH (Austral University of Chile) and distributed propaganda in solidarity with the demands of the comrades Juan, Nataly and Guillermo, on hunger strike since April 14th and in combative memory of fallen anarchist comrade Mauricio Morales who died in 2009 when an explosive device he was carrying on the way to the prison warden's school in Santiago detonated prematurely. Upon arrival of the police fierce clashes erupted with molotov cocktails and rocks thrown at the uniformed scum. The photos above were taken at the end of the fighting.

A full Spanish-language communique of the action is available on the Contra Info website here.
