24/6/2022

On the basis of the case of Giannis Michailidis and his hunger strike, we call for an international day of action against the preventive detention regime applied against political prisoners. For the case of Giannis Michailidis, we propose the political targeting of the structures of the Greek state and Greek companies and/or by highlighting the struggle of those who are in the hands of the state mafia with the same vengeance.

Full title: Greece: Georgia Volugari and Thanos Xatziagkelou start hunger strike in solidarity with the anarchist comrade Giannis Michailidis

The dictatorship of confinement is the mirror of democracy. It is the morbid representation of a tyranny that is not content with its military victories. It wants to see those it subjugates bend, sink into deprivation and decadence. To see in the faces of the captives that laughter disappears and misery takes its place. Power builds mass graves of souls to bury in concrete the voices of the invisible.

For the second time in a period of months, the Elaiona Prison Council has rejected the request of comrade Pola Roupa – who has already served 7 years in prison – for a permit to be able to see her son for a few days.

Slavs With Guns: A Dream Story

From The Transmetropolitan Review By Barabule Cutarescu

Editor’s Note: The entirety of this article is fiction and meant for entertainment purposes only.

Hey, you there? It’s me again, a stronger, even more powerful Barabule Cutarescu, peasant farmer of the Moldovan hills. The last time I wrote to you from far-eastern Romania, I thought it entirely possible that it might be my last communication to you losers. Turns out I was wrong. Turns out I believed a bit too much of the Russian propaganda and assumed, just as they did, that the entire population of Ukraine, exhausted from brutal IMF-imposed austerity, would just roll right over, allowing the dreaded Red Army to advance all the way to Moldova. It seemed like this was going to happen for exactly two days, but I’ll get to that later. Just remember, before reading any further, that no one is immune from propaganda. A wise cat once told me that, only sometimes I forget.

Elle on Threat Modeling - S1E43

From Live Like the World is Dying, your guide to leftist/anarchist prepping and revolution by Margaret Killjoy

Margaret talks with Elle, an anarchist and security professional, about different threat modeling approaches and analyzing different kinds of threats.

Lessons From the Fight to Protect Abortion Clinics in the 1990s

Lessons From the Fight to Protect Abortion Clinics in the 1990s

From It's Going Down

A Discussion

On this episode of the It’s Going Down podcast, we talk with both long-time anarchist organizer Susie Subways and historian Spencer Beswick about how anarchists in the 1990s organized in the face of a deadly far-Right attack on abortion access across the so-called United States.

Incendiary Action

wholesome and heartwarming non-sectarian nighttime activities

From Anarquía, English translation by Anarchist News

Confronting this new restructuring of state-capital with a progressive face, that is only here to continue and perfect the police-military-neoliberal-extractivist regime that they want us to submit to by all means, we consider it's necessary to advance in the accumulation and coordination of revolutionary forces, that, from multiple guerrillas, are resolute in uprooting this system of misery and death. This time, as irreducible individuals we set out to twist the established order, directly confronting its cops, shining over its ugly machines, with the purpose of contributing to the ongoing war, adding this focus of street confrontation with the purpose of obstructing the flow of the decadent productive normality of Santiago, one Friday, in coordination with the different demonstrations and activities taking place at the same time in that city.

Arson attack against telecommunications antenna

It is in this last front, responding to the call to raise the memory of punky in this Black May, is that we have decided to attack a telecommunications antenna of the Entel company, located on a hill in the commune of Puente Alto, in the capital of the territory dominated by the Chilean state. We are and will always be against the advance of technology and the digitalization of our lives. The existence of these means the exploitation and devastation of the ñuke mapu, the extraction of its minerals through the genocide of wild species in pursuit of the filthy commodities needed by the warriors to reproduce their cursed existence. Antennas like this one erode their natural environment, both at the time of their installation, as well as in the recurrent maintenance they require. Moreover, the effects on the different beings produced by a world overloaded with electromagnetic waves through these antennas and new technologies such as the 5G network are doubtful. We are not scientists nor do we pretend to prove that they do harm, but the invitation of our instinct to destroy them is enough for us.

Responsibility claim for action in solidarity w/ Giannis Michailidis

In the midst of the presented supremacy of the state and the attack that it has unleashed against the neighborhood of Exarchia, we decided to send a signal of minimal solidarity to comrade Giannis Michailidis, by attacking the riot squad in Ch.Trikoupis street.

Solidarity posters at the Evelpidon Courts for G. Michaelides

lol, the aesthetics were on point, nice prank

A few days ago and while the anarchist comrade G. Michailidis had already been on hunger strike for a week, we decided to play a little bit with the limits of this world’s respectability. So we printed 25 posters with the aesthetics of normality. We knew – and our frequent walks through the places where they were hung confirmed this – that with this aesthetic our posters would stay a little longer hanging inside the courts because they carried on them the misery of wage slavery, the sad emptiness of careerism and the boredom of uniformity.

Gathering outside Hellenic Cosmos at the book presentation of Adonis Georgiades

On Wednesday, June 8th, an event/presentation of Adonis Georgiadis’ new book, entitled “Simple rhetoric lessons” will take place at Hellenic Cosmos. Also participating in the event are Makis Voridis, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Grigoris Psarianos, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos and Aris Portosalte. We decided to intervene and disrupt the smooth conduct of this presentation both in the light of solidarity and support for our comrade and hunger striker since 23/5 Giannis Michailidis, who remains imprisoned indefinitely, despite meeting the formal conditions of his release for all his sentences after 8. 5 years of detention, but also to show that this mob is only specialised in one kind of rhetoric and that is hate speech.

Attack on Social Democrats’ Premises in Sweden

From Abolition Media

FUCK NATO

Some anarchists in so called Sweden invaded the hometown of the Swedish Minister of Defence, the Social Democrat Peter Hultqvist. We vandalized several of the Social Democrats’ premises. Locks were glued and messages were painted: FUCK NATO! Neither the U.S. club for imperialism, nor the petty politicians, own us. You are trying to force decisions on us.
