Milan, Italy: “Thought and Dynamite” reading group – discussion on the issues of Negazine

As part of the experience of the “Pensiero e Dinamite” reading group we would like to address the themes and issues that have emerged from reading the numbers of “Negazine”, a publication written by anarchists, at the next encounter on Friday 12th April. Our intention is to discover and develop ideas, themes, reflections and availability in view of a possible in-depth meeting with those who wrote the magazine. The effort intends to seek a different way of building presentation and discussion initiatives of texts produced by the anarchist movement and to overturn the often stale mechanism of the “offer” by a place or group of a pre-configured theme to which then all are invited to participate, who can only decide whether they are interested or not. Instead we would like to try to bring about among the comrades who desire it a discussion on the subject that can already look into the ideas and themes that will then be developed in a possible later meeting with those who gave life to them in writing the texts that were the basis of the discussion.
For this reason we are inviting comrades interested to the next encounter of the reading group “Thought and Dynamite”:
 Discussion on the points offered by reading the numbers of the periodical written by anarchists: NEGAZINE
FRIDAY APRIL 12 at 8pm at the ACCERCHIATA [Encircled A] (aperitif from 7pm)

Essonne, France: Serial sabotage of surveillance cameras

Le Parisien tells us on 03.04.2019 that the eyes of the state are regularly targeted in several cities of Essonne. “Sawed masts, a ram-car thrown against a pole, a technical room burned. Some do not lack imagination in disabling the cameras […]
More recently, it is in Brétigny-sur-Orge that two cameras, located near the small shopping centre of La Fontaine, have been the target of repeated attacks. The objectives were broken, the cables burned … just days after their installation. […]
Brétigny-sur-Orge, March 5, 2019. Traces were still visible a few days after the arson of a car used to put a camera installed in the district of La Fontaine out of use

Italy: Operation Panico : Updates from the hearing of April 4 and new schedule of hearings

Paska and about a dozen comrades were present at the hearing. To start with Paska made a brief declaration saying that his correspondence is being photocopied even though he has not been subjected to censorship by the judicial authorities. So, given the persistence of this annoying further surveillance in his regard, it is import to write to him to reconfirm our solidarity with him and our hostility towards them. He then deposed the digos on the attribution of identity of the conversants in some environmental interceptions.
Then it was the turn of the experts appointed by the court. The coroner basically argued that the bomb disposal expert did not suffer potentially lethal injuries and his life had never been in danger. The expert for the prosecution, despite having insisted on the possibility that if shrapnel from the device had hit other regions [of the body] it could have had lethal consequences, agreed that there had been no threat to life. The defense expert  agreed with the declarations of court’s one and, with reference to radiological data, confirmed the distance of the splinters from vital organs, and the absolute non-lethality of the device. The conclusion more or less shared, therefore, is that since there was no danger to life at the most it is possible to speak of very serious injuries.

Buenos Aires, Argentina: Responsibility Claim for an Incendiary Attack Against a Police Patrol Car

As the compas in France say, cars are torched every night, but this time a police patrol car was torched in the city of Buenos Aires while it slept in the shadows on 1950 Teodoro Vilardebo street on Wednesday, March 13th at 2AM.
The police are still in the sights of the bombs that seek the destruction of the State.

Foix (Ariège), France – A ‘commercial hub’ slowed down for a week following incendiary sabotage on an Orange telephone distribution frame (5th March 2019)

In a previous article we mentioned news of sabotage of telecommunications in Foix, Ariège, in the night between 4th and 5th March 2019. Now we know more about the process of activation and the economic damage caused by the fire to an Orange distribution frame in the vicinity of the commercial hub Peysales, in the south of the city. Telecommunications were not completely reinstated until late on Sunday 10th March.
‘According to our intelligence, the perpetrators tried first to access the Orange operational site with a crowbar, but they couldn’t manage to do so. However, they managed to force access to a basement room, which was closed with cast iron plates. Through the opening they threw pallets, sprayed everything with petrol and lit a fire. The heat and flames burned the protection of the telecommunications cables, forcing operators to replace all of them [300 metres of cables were completely burnt].

Puglia, Italy : Solidarity with the comrades arrested in Turin and Trento

February 2019
The State attacked anarchists in Turin, evicted Asilo squat and arrested six comrades on charges of terrorist association.
Ten days later in Rovereto and Trento about fifty raids were carried out (disgusting Digos officers went into comrades’ homes while the latter were at the police station, forced a comrade to kneel down and pointed a gun at his head and many other abominations) and another seven comrades were arrested on charges of terrorist association and terrorist offences carried out with deadly or explosive devices. 
Repression strikes again! 
At last the fascist State of 5-star militants and Northern League shit showed its face. The arrested comrades were remanded in custody. Social war is under way.
Anyone is persecuted if they are rebellious and reluctant in the face of this disgusting society of domination, patriarchy, sexism, eco-devastation, energy and technology slavery, concentration camps for migrants, prisons, borders, exploitation, racism.

UK : Anarchist prisoner John Bowden denied parole and kept as political hostage.

Act for free received on : 5/4/19

PDF

On the 22nd January 2019 after almost forty years in prison the Parole Board considered the case for either my release or continued imprisonment. In the case of life sentence or indeterminately sentenced prisoners once such prisoners have been detained for the length of time originally recommended by the judiciary or Secretary of State, in my case 25 years, then the Parole Board has a statuary and legal obligation and responsibility to review the case for either the release or the
continued detention of such prisoners.
At three previous parole hearings my release had been denied by the Parole Board on the grounds that I was a “difficult and anti-authoritarian” prisoner, and insufficiently obedient to prison authority; my actual risk or danger to the public, the prime official criteria for denying the release of life sentence prisoners, was never cited as a reason for my continued imprisonment.

Netherlands – Poland: Freedom for Anarchist Comrade Radek!

Freedom for Radek!
Our friend Radek has been held in custody in the Netherlands for 5 months now. He was charged with attempted arson at the Polish embassy, which carries a sentence of up to 12 years in jail.
Radek – just as many other workers on emigration – had dealt with exploitation by the employers, on a daily basis. Exploitation, unfair pay, unpaid overtime, atrocious living conditions – the realities of work in the West. Radek had tried to solve those problems in a less radical matter. He had given a shot by going public with it, informing the media, executing his rights. None of it helped.

Besançon ,France : Smash your city and its promoters! (05/03/2019)

In Besançon like anywhere else, cities are in constant transformation. They’ve never been (and they’re not) neutral places, but are modelled in the image and likeness of the State and capital. They resemble more and more commercial hubs and open prisons, where any deviation from the traced path is harshly punished.
Urban projects are flourishing in all the corners of the city. They are building flat-out in order to create commercial hubs and neighbourhoods that will be inhabited by eco-responsible citizens. Well serviced and fluid (car sharing, public hire bicycles, trams…) and equipped with green spaces, they are proliferating in the suburbs.

Canada,Migrant Prison: Attacks on Lemay Condo Developments

Anonymous submission to MTL Counter-info
On the night of March 19th, the sales office of Humaniti had its windows smashed and two Lowney towers were redecorated using paint-filled fire extinguishers. What do these condo developments have in common? They were both designed by the Lemay architecture firm, which is helping to build a new migrant prison in Laval, Quebec.
Why not disturb the peace and quiet of the citizens occupying these luxury condos, whose wealth and comfort are founded upon the dispossession, exploitation, and imprisonment of those who have been here since before the colonization of this continent, those newcomers seeking a better life, survival, or pushed here by empire, and everyone who resists the prevailing order?

Comments Off on Germany: Private Car of Immigration Cop and Fascist AfD Member Torched

Germany: Private Car of Immigration Cop and Fascist AfD Member Torched

27.03.19: Militant anti-fascists have torched a private vehicle belonging to an immigration cop who is also a member of the fascist AfD (Alternative For Germany) party. The arson attack took place outside the fascist cop’s house. Here is a translated excerpt from the claim of responsibility that was posted on German Indymedia:
Sebastian Pöhls has been with BVV Treptow-Köpenick since February 2018 and is a member of the AfD district executive committee. As a police immigration officer, he has been working for the AfD for years. He participates regularly in events and campaign activities and does not hold back with his racist baiting. Pöhls is a confessed fan of AfD politician Bernd Höcke and a supporter of the volk-nationalist current within the AfD. He also took part in a meeting of the Berlin wing sympathizers on April 14, 2018 in the Wartenberger Hof. He sympathizes openly with the identitarians and has recently participated several times in the racist marches by the Zukunft Heimat neo-Nazis in Cottbus.
So, we visited Pöhls in his supposedly quiet residential area and lit his Audi on fire right outside his door.
At constant war with the enemies of freedom!

Comments Off on Greece, Athens : Responsibility Claim on 28.3.19 by Group for the Reconstruction of the Mediterranean Anarchist Triangle

Greece, Athens : Responsibility Claim on 28.3.19 by Group for the Reconstruction of the Mediterranean Anarchist Triangle

Responsibility Claim
CONCERNING THE RECENT PROSECUTIONS IN ITALY
At the beginning of February the eviction of the squat ASILO OCCUPATO was ordered, a structure of the movement in the city of Turin, with a history of 24 years. The police don’t ‘play’ alone and the evacuation lasts one and a half days because of the resistance from the interior of the squat. Simultaneously all over the city gatherings, meetings, violent protests are being carried out. The carabinieri, in order to silence the reactions, transform entire neighbourhoods into quarantine zones, with blockades, arrests and the prohibition of circulation of traffic. Finally the authorities, as well as the eviction, arrest 6 comrades on charges of subversive activity based on actions against the CIE/CRP [detention centres for immigrants] as well as for solidarity with the revolts that have broken out inside them.
 It is clear that there are many more reasons for this operation. ASILO OCCUPATO has taken part in a lot of struggles which bothered the State mechanisms and the bosses. It opposed the destruction of the Val di Susa valley, participating in the movement NO TAV. It gave fights against the detention centres, against the repression and control and the regeneration and gentrification of entire neighbourhoods of the city. Neighbourhoods whose transformation into sterilized regions of consumption and amusement is desired by the bosses. For the above reasons the occupation and the 6 comrades were targeted by the repression.

Greece : Attack on a police station and on a Turkish consulate

On 2nd and 3rd March revolutionaries carried out attacks on a police station in Athens and on the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki.
On 2nd March about forty masked comrades attacked the police station in the neighbourhood of Koukaki, Athens, and threw at least four Molotov bottles. The entrance to the building and two police cars parked outside were damaged. The police arrested 10 people.
On Sunday 3rd March, at around 2:40am, about 50 revolutionaries attacked the police while the latter were defending the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki, and threw Molotov bottles and stones. The police reacted with teargas and deafening grenades, but the militants managed to go away without arrests being carried out.

Greece,Athens: Some words on the riots of 29th of March

Some words on the riots of 29th of March 2019
Jasmins and almond trees bloom from the bullet wounds and scars in the bodies of our fallen ones. The coming seeds of self-redress perch on the branches, ready to nourish those greedy-for-life. Drawn in blood; bitterness flows out, becomes fertilizer for the rage.
The pine needles fall down embracing the honour of living as negator of servitude. Waves break, embracing the honour of dying fighting. Waters respond to the call of silence, they turn into fire, and a night like the 29th of March make a salutary spill-over. It’s exactly there that our dead friends accompany each of our step. It’s there that Sebastian Oversluij, Lambros Fountas, Mauricio Morales, Spiros Dravilas, Anna Campbell, Dimitris Armakolas, Javier Recabarren, all our comrades that left away, are bursting out of fire caressing eternity.

Berlin, Germany: Action Days Against Rent Madness Begins

Arson Attack Against Property Company Deutsche Wohnen
27.03.19: The Action Days Against Rent Madness have begun in earnest in Berlin with an arson attack against the vehicle fleet of property company Deutsche Wohnen. The attack carried out by an Autonomous Groups cell destroyed 3 vehicles. The action days are part of an ongoing struggle against rising rents, lack of affordable housing and gentrification of working class districts. The campaign has involved a diverse set of tactics ranging from public demonstrations to militant direct action. Here is an excerpt from the claim of responsibility that was posted on German Indymedia:
“We dedicate the ashes of the three burned-out cars to all those affected by letters of termination, evictions and rent increases. We devote the blazing flames to those who have been abandoned by the system, the victims of daily marginalization, and our fighting comrades, who are either in jail or on the run.”

Chile : 29 de Marzo – Dia de lxs Jovenes Combatientes

29 DE MARZO
DÍA DE LXS JOVENES COMBATIENTES
El 29 de marzo es el día en que la memoria combativa se vuelve acción a través del presente contínuo de la confrontación anárquica con el mundo del poder y la autoridad. Es un momento en que el choque con las fuerzas del dominio recuerda que en dictadura y democracia el Estado oprime, tortura, asesina y encarcela y que en todo contexto histórico las voluntades indomesticables acechan los planes de los opresores para ponerlos en peligro y forjar su destrucción.
Desde su origen en dictadura conmemorando a los hermanos Vergara Toledo, el 29 de marzo constituye una fecha que no ha podido ser pacificada, recuperada ni exterminada por la institucionalidad y el reformismo, por lo que el poder y su prensa servil intentan despolitizar su conmemoración. A la vez, cada año se levantan actos conmemorativos, barricadas y ataques a la policía en los que participan enemigxs declaradxs del poder junto a la juventud salvaje de barrios y poblaciones.
