Thessaloniki – Responsibility claim by ELF- cell of anti-civilization agitation.

E.L.F. Thessaloniki – Responsibility claim
Because of the call from South America against the new destructive plans
I.I.R.S.A. which had as its primary concern the development and opening
of trade between developed roads, telecommunications, sea and air
networks, we decided to take action. On Wednesday 15/2, at 2am, we
torched two excavation machines, in the center of Thessaloniki.
The new profitable plan will proceed to a massive destruction of the
Amazon which includes deforestation, elimination of the fauna and flora
and the persecution of indigenous populations, as well the pollution of
the waters aiming at the economic growth of the industrial complex. A
complex that is inextricably connected with authority and dominance,
while simultaneously being diffused within society, which in turn feeds
it, mostly willingly. A society that reproduces the social standards
that have been enforced, that perpetuates the regime of waged slavery,
that is the observer in the onslaught of dominance. A totality clouded
by propaganda, formed to follow the journeys dictated by subjugation.
Against their miserable journeys, we propose the anarchist revolutionary
action. The spreading of discourse and action, and the destabilization
of social peace, order and security.
Just like dominance, thus the material targets are everywhere. The
authoritarian complex consists of different but interconnecting
institutions and structures. The bet for us is the attack on
here-and-now, against every aspect of authority, and the maximization of
direct actions, so our strikes can be as chaotic and effective as
possible.
Against development projects and structures of the techno-scientific
complex.
For the destruction of civilization.
Strength to the anarchists hostages of war
An incendiary signal to all comrades who fight authority with all means.
Fire to the machines.
LONG LIVE ANARCHY
ELF- cell of anti-civilization agitation.

Motorbike demonstration in solidarity with anarchist Marios Seisidis

3MART
Comrade Marios Seisidis is tried for the robbery of the National Bank of
Greece on Solonos street in January 2006 as well as participation in six
more bank robberies. The development of the story since then is outlined
through lengthy imprisonments, persecutions, targeting, and outrageous
bounties on comrades heads. A merciless hunt by the state against those
comrades who were accused of participation in the “robbers in black”
case as well as against the anarchist/anti-authoritarian milieu.
M.Seisidis avoided arrest for 11 years, in a dangerous journey of
guarding his freedom.

In a final attempt to incriminate Marios, since not the slightest
indication of the comrade’s participation in the charges attributed to
him, came up in the preliminary hearing, and since the journalistic
fabrication of the group of “robbers in black”, the baton is passed on
to the (anti)terrorist force which cooperated tightly with the special
appeals interrogators, with sole evidence an alleged dna sample. We,
with solidarity as our weapon, we stand as a dyke to these machinations
by the state and we will not allow our comrade to the mercy of the
predator hands of repression.

Greece – Prison is good only for those who build them (4 years since the Velvedo double robbery)

48435-1366x768
This February will mark 4 years since they were incarcerated. We must
have memory and we must honor our comrades.

Their are no choices, neither illusions, the choices are only two:
either spectators in the couches of a castrated life, or perpetrators of
incidents that form the development of history. The thought of freedom
is not enough, because on its own it can be a blossom, but freedom
itself is a seed. Thus, when you want to crush the state, everything in
your mind is a hammer. All you have to do is use it.

And this is exactly what our friends and comrades from Velvedo did, and
who now are hostage of the state prisons and who as of February have
been incarcerated for 4 years.

We are at war now and we must choose sides. No one can remain
un-involved. The illusions are gone, the facades have worn away. The
authoritarians admit that for emergency reasons, once more, that ideas
must be persecuted.

Nothing is over, everything continues, refusal, insurrection and
solidarity.

LONG LIVE ANARCHY SCUMBAGS!!

[Montreuil, 93] Small contribution to disorder in the 93 – France

Saturday 11, following the beautiful riot of Bobigny, we wanted to keep going  …
… and we burned a COFELY car in front of Fort de Noisy. COFELY-ENGIE is the owner of GEPSA, the leading private partner in the management of jails (for information)
A thought to the rebels in the 93, the mutineers in the prisons, as in Valencia, the beautiful burning of the cop car of last May 18. A complicit and solidarity greeting to the anarchists in prisons, in France as elsewhere.
Let’s spread the revolt!

Supporting Prisoners of the Social War in France

Received on  22/2/17
These past months, in different cities, including during unpermitted demos or riots, many of us have been thrilled by the number of offensive actions in the street. From clashes with the guard dogs of the state and property to the broken windows of shops and even the pillaging of their contents; from attacks on journalist-cops to overcoming the pacifiers of the day: all of this has shaken the arrogance of the powerful. In all forms of struggle — which aren’t limited to “social movements” — self-organization and direct action are indispensable if we are to break with the pacification world of commodities and with state terrorism. Because to claim that it’s unimaginable for individuals to directly oppose the existing order is just a veiled way of saying that social revolt is simply impossible.
Repression is not just the moment when the flashball or baton comes to strike recalcitrant bodies, it’s each moment of daily life under the domination of the State and Capital, through their thousands of omnipresent psychological and physical manifestations that coerce the poor into accepting a shitty life. It’s the prisons that lock up ever more people for ever longer sentences, in order to punish, isolate, break, and store them, out of sight of the peaceful consciences of good citizens. It’s also the outside prison, built from measures like electronic bracelets, house arrest, exclusion areas, bail conditions, and so on.

Toulouse, France : 60 behaviour detection cameras for June 2017

Sixty cameras will detect dubious behaviour in June 2017
Nearly 60 cameras of the Toulouse hyper-centre are to be equipped with a reconnaissance system that will alert operators in the case of suspicious behaviour.
After the 102 cameras used to remotely charge wrongly parked motorists, here are intelligent cameras, able to detect abnormal behaviour on the pavement.
Since January 16, 102 video-protection cameras in Toulouse city centre allow – among other things – to “hunt” motorists who park wrongly. In one click, the ticket is sent to the Rennes national processing centre. And the fine reaches the offender a few days later: from € 17 to € 135 depending on the gravity of the offence. Around thirty tickets per day, on average, have been drawn up over last month.
But by June 2017, the Toulouse City Council will go even further. It will equip nearly sixty cameras already operating in the hyper-centre, with artificial intelligence software. Thanks to this software, acquired from the IBM company for 150 000 €, the cameras will be able to detect unusual behaviour, and to warn the video operators.

Greece, Athens – Sixth appeals trial hearing of imprisoned anarchist-communist comrade Tasos Theofilou

Yiannis Kontos
The 6th hearing of the appeals trial of the anarchist-communist Tasos Theofilou at the Appeals Court of Athens, concluded today with the testimonies of the final prosecution witnesses. A high-ranking member of the counter-terrorism unit was the only witness who did not participate in the trial as he was allegedly abroad. It does not come as a surprise that, once again, none of the witnesses recognized Tasos Theofilou as one of the perpetrators of the robbery and the violent act that followed.
The first testimony was given by a woman who was standing outside the branch of Alpha Bank and witnessed the embroilment and the escape of the perpetrators.
Presiding Judge: What do you know about the case?
Witness: I was there by accident, around 8 o’ clock in the morning.
Presiding Judge: What did you see through the blinds?
Witness: I saw that it was busy and it was out of the ordinary so I decided not to go in. A van was parked on the right side of the bank. Then 3-4 people whose appearance was very strange came out. They were wearing clothes that were strange for that time of the day. Their faces were not revealed. There were many gunshots.

UK – HMP Berwyn sabotaged during construction – Prison structurally unsound

It is important to announce one week before the opening of HMP Berwyn that two of the houseblocks in the prison are structurally unsound due to sabotage in 2015.
After our action in May 2015 where machinery was sabotaged, we knew that to regularly attempt to attack the prison would be impossible due to the prison walls being built around the site. After intensive research, it soon became apparent that we could have a dramatic effect with little effort.
In July 2015, a strong acidic powder was poured into the excavations of the groundfloor slabs of two of the prisons’s houseblocks. This has made two of these buildings structurally unsound – their foundations will eventually crumble and the buildings could collapse over time.
Given that the strength of these slabs has been greatly reduced, intrusive investigations and a full re-build of these houseblocks would be necessary before attempting to cage people in these buildings.
This action is dedicated to every human being that has died in the prison system at the hands of the State.

SPAIN – Anarchist prisoners Mónica Caballero & Francisco Solar to be expelled from Spain and released in Chile soon

According to corporate media in Spain and Chile, the Audiencia Nacional (National Court) of Spain decided on January 30 to commute the rest of Mónica and Francisco‘s sentence to expulsion. The lawyers of the comrades are thought to have requested for article 89 of the Spanish Penal Code to be invoked which allows for foreign citizens serving more than one year’s imprisonment to have their sentence replaced with expulsion from the Spanish state. The comrades had their original sentence of 12 years reduced on appeal to 4 years and 6 months last December which means they have now served more than a third of their sentence.
It is expected that following police bureaucratic processes that the comrades will be flown by Spanish police to Chile where they will be handed over to Chilean police and then released back onto the street.
More news as it becomes available.

Italy – Updates on anarchist comrade Davide Delogu from Sardinia

We learn from Davide that in spite of the fact he’s no longer subjected to censorship, his incoming and outgoing letters are delivered very slowly. He has asked for news and anarchist materials; the pamphlets with various news (actions of attack, claims, communiqués, updates) we sent him he didn’t receive, nor were they seized, the arseholes must have thrown them away directly.
We remind that Davide, after two years in the 14bis regime, is now being held in the prison of Augusta (Siracusa) run by dog Antonio Gelardi.
Davide’s address:

Chile – Bombs Case II – Trial date set against anarchist comrades Juan, Nataly and Enrique

juan-nataly-y-enrique

After years of initiating investigations and arrests for attacks on police stations and Santiago Metro infrastructure in 2014, the nauseating southern district prosecution office has decided to set a date to begin the trial under the anti-terrorism law.
The prosecution will have 186 witnesses, 87 experts, 231 documents and 648 pieces of evidence to be presented before the altars of the democratic inquisition on March 24, 2017 when the trial against the comrades will begin.
Like other mega-legal processes, the trial is expected to last for a couple of months.
There is an urgent need to build revolutionary solidarity to confront the judicial machinery that is trying to swallow the lives of Juan, Nataly and Enrique.

Greece , Athens – Fifth appeals trial hearing of imprisoned anarchist-communist comrade Tasos Theofilou

Omnia TV’s Sylvia and Giant report from the courtroom
The fifth hearing of the appeals trial of Tasos Theofilou took place on Friday 10.02. During the hearing, none of the prosecution witnesses recognized Tasos Theofilou as one of the perpetrators.
Also, Theofilou came to court unshaven for the past 8 days in order to expose another contradiction of the case against him: according to CCTV footage and eye-witnesses the robber was clean-shaven. Eight days following the incident, Theofilou’s beard as it appears in mugshots, could not have grown the size it was in that short period of time.
The first witness was Christos Kefalas, resident of Paros island. His testimony was about seeing an abandoned motorcycle in the area of Limanaki and how it seemed suspicious. Next was the testimony Nikolas Skouloudis, assistant electrician, employed by a previous witness. This witness described everything he saw from the moment the robbers came out of the bank. He mentioned they were all wearing hats, glasses and scarves.
He also said that he could not recall any specific characteristic of the man who shot Michas.
“I heard gunshots and saw Michas approaching and punching one of the robbers. The robber fell on the ground after the blow. Then the other two robbers were onto Michas, an embroilment erupted and the one lying on the ground possibly shot Michas. I have no recollection of the type of clothing he wore.”
Then he was shown the notorious hat and the witness said that the colour did not remind him of anything.
