Lecce, Italy: A little thought
This is what the investigators looking into the unexpected blaze at the Parsec 3.26 on April 27, on the outskirts of Lecce in full lockdown, have had. And since Finimondo published a text which did not condemn what happened and were not outraged by it, quite the contrary, and as the 
animators of Finimondo live not far from the headquarters of that company whose social and economic reason for being is to embody Big Brother, you want to bet that 1 + 1 +
So today, Monday July 27th, we were dragged out of bed early in the morning. No, it wasn’t the alarm clock, it was the Digos [political police]. They came to carry out a search and to give one of us a notice of investigation. They suspect he was the one who left “a pot containing petrol and two camping gas canisters” near the techno-cop company in Salento. The search, particularly attentive to computer equipment (which allows “understanding of the actual purposes of the act”) and clothing (being strangely attracted to multicolour, black must have gone out of fashion), had a positive outcome. No, but what are we saying, positive is too little, we would go as far as to say very positive. In fact, it seems they have discovered that there are traces of Finimondo’s text on the computer used by the suspect who has fired the Prosecutor’s imagination so much (you don’t say?). Moreover two camping gas canisters were seized (oh really?). Finally – you will never believe it! – they even found pots in his kitchen (seriously?). They didn’t seize them, only photographed them, for everlasting evidence. As we anticipated, 1 + 1 + …

Lecce, Italy: A stupendous thought
Some local news. We don’t know when, we don’t know who, we don’t know why, we only know where. And that alone is enough to open your heart, even if what happened seems not to have been very successful. But, as is well known, in some things it’s the thought that counts.
A thought like the one someone left on the wall of a company in the 
outskirts of Lecce last weekend. It wasn’t a poster, or a slogan, no, it was a pot full of petrol with a couple of gas canisters attached to it, equipped with a rudimentary, possibly defective, fuse. There was a big blaze, but no explosion. The local media have no idea when it happened. Um, between the evening of Friday April 24 and the morning of Monday the 27th? They don’t even say who it could have been, or for what reason. Um, an act of intimidation or retaliation by some criminal or unbalanced element? On the other hand, they were very precise about where it occurred: in via del Platano 7, in the Castromediano district, headquarters of Parsec 3.26.
But what is it involved in, this Parsec 3.26? It is a computer company specializing in digital technologies for the local authorities. For example, it created the software that is used by the police and the banks for the facial recognition of those filmed by video surveillance cameras. Ah, that’s all? Could it have been targeted because of, as we learn by browsing the site with the dreadful techno-Anglo-cretinising language, its “passion is E-Government”?

Porto Alegre. Barricada incendiária e faixas ao amanhecer em solidariedade com Mônica e Francisco. Diante do Inimigo: Indomáveis!!!
EN: Porto Alegre, Brazil: Burning Barricade & Banners at Dawn in Solidarity with Mônica & Francisco
Received by email :1/8/20
Sentimos desde a sexta feria passada 24 de julho o encarceramento de
dois anarquistas: Mônica Caballero e Francisco Solar, conhecidos ácratas inimigos do Estado e da dominação. Passaram anos detidos primeiro no Chile pelo Caso Bombas, e logo na Espanha, mais de 4 anos sequestrados acusados de atacar uma basílica, uma igreja católica. E hoje, eles são sequestrados novamente pelo estado chileno acusados de mandar dois pacotes explosivos, um contra uma delegacia policial famosa por protagonizar repressões e o outro contra o ex Ministro do Interior Rodrigo Hinzpeter, velho repressor e mandante de sentar a bala desde sua escrivania, o que alguns chamariam de autor intelectual dos crimes do Estado chileno. Também são acusados de serem responsáveis por dois artefatos explosivos deixados no prédio de uma empresa imobiliária de luxo, a Tánica.
Longe das lógicas punitivas, não existe um chamado pela inocência dos
compas, eles não são nem inocentes nem culpados. São parte daqueles que estão do outro lado da máquina de dominação e da sociedade que a
sustenta, são daqueles que já demonstraram que não negociam com a
repressão quando ela bate nas suas portas, daqueles que gritam morte ao estado e que viva a anarquia na cara mesmo dos juízes. Não se reconhece o poder da democracia nem das suas redes de dominação sobre as ações dos compas nem sobre o caráter “supostamente criminoso” das ações das quais eles são acusados. O chamado é a propagação da hostilidade como ação solidária com todos os que lutam e mediante a ação, à solidariedade que propaga a ação que ofende a normalidade imposta, porque esses atos solidários também expandem a sedição anárquica contra a dominação.

France / Italy: Anarchist Comrade Carla Arrested in St. Etienne
27/28.07.2020: After almost a year and a half on the run, more precisely since February 7, 2019 when the l’Asilo Occupato was evicted and Operation Scintilla began, Carla was arrested with a European arrest warrant on Sunday, July 23rd in St. Etienne, near Lyon.
The operation was carried out by a dozen or so police from the BIS (Research & Investigation Brigade) and the DGSI (Directorate General of Internal Security) armed with assault rifles who threw her to the ground, handcuffed her and dragged her into a car. With her were some people who were driven away and then released without being identified. Apparently Carla had been under surveillance for several days.

Communique from Anarchist Prisoner Mónica Andrea Caballero Sepúlveda
Compañerxs, friends and family:
Again, I write to you from a cell. I am being held in the San Miguel prison. For fourteen days I will be isolated due to the protocols implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Afterwards I will be classified and taken to a permanent module.
It’s almost been ten years since I first set foot in prison as a defendant. Since then, my life has always been in one way or the other linked to prisons. While the system of control can change, the essential structure doesn’t, it continues seeking punishment and repentance.

”Operation Bialystok” – Anarchists from Berlin in solidarity and complicity
NOW THAT YOU ARE SCARED
It is becoming more and more obvious that the dominant economic system is sacrificing any expression of individual freedom, social equality and solidarity to the law of profit and exasperated competition.
In the face of all this, numerous scenarios of revolt are breaking out and spreading in every part of the world.
From Kurdish democratic federalism to the Zapatist autonomous territories, from Hong Kong to Chile.
In recent months, the way in which the Covid pandemic has been managed has further amplified and made evident the inequality between those who suffer the system and those who claim to control it.
This has made social tension and its explosive potential more extreme.
George Floyd’s death, in itself not an exceptional event in the context of the brutality of a system that kills and devastates every day, which happened during the global lockdown due to the pandemic, has unleashed an explosion of anger on an international level that has shown itself in multiple forms: from sieges of police districts to the plunder of the goods that many no longer have, or never had, the possibility to possess, to huge demonstrations in the streets.

Comments Off on U$A: Goodbye Walter Bond…
U$A: Goodbye Walter Bond…
For us, animal liberation and human liberation are two parts of the same struggle, the liberationist struggle is total, and anarchist, or it is nothing.
We want to get word out to animal rights, vegan, animal liberationist and anarchist comrades that recently we both saw on animal liberation sites and received an anonymous call asking for solidarity to Walter Bond, after he got out of prison. Whilst news of Walter Bond, the ‘Lone Wolf’ Animal Liberation Front prisoner getting out was welcome, -we’d followed his case from the very beginning, feeling affinity with the arson attacks he’d been sentenced for-, we received bad news after publishing that was confirmed shortly afterwards through the Anarchist Black Cross.
We were informed that when Walter was getting near to the end of his release date, he had completely reneged anarchy and now appears to have embraced eco-fascism. In September 2019, Walter published an open letter(1) on his support site rejecting the anarchist movement. The themes in this reactionary and despicable letter borrow from eco-fascist criticisms of anarchy, (that hierarchy is ‘natural’*, that anarchism is hypocritical when it comes to issues of power, that it is single-issue obsessed, only concerned with identity politics etc.). Around this same time, Walter wrote letters to various anarchist groups in the U.S. asking for support efforts from and contact with the anarchist movement to cease. Upon our request for any related information, Philadelphia Anarchist Black Cross forwarded us a photo of Neo-Nazi propaganda on the back of a letter from Walter. The original photo had been shared by the recipient in an animal liberation group in early 2020. Continue Reading →

Fresnes, 18 July 2020
Dear comrades,
I am writing to tell you that I am in good shape, moral is good and I continue to have a lot of energy!I’m taking this opportunity to thank everyone who wrote to me, who thought of me, who supported me, from the bottom of my heart. I won’t hide from you that when I get letters it puts me in a good mood and that gives me a lot, a lot of strength.
I also had the pleasure of learning about the campaign of defamation through a few newspaper articles that have been consecrated to me[1]. Nothing surprising, the media are an instrument of power, used to tarnish our personalities and to fuel the lies that justify my imprisonment! I send them all back my contempt, as also the investigators of this umpteenth repressive operation.
After almost a month in the closet, during the sentencing for my extradition which I opposed,
I had the opportunity to read the French version of the accusations against me and finally learned the reasons for which I am imprisoned. In a word, they accuse me of being an anarchist because in reality there is not much in my file. Only ideological attacks and solidarity offences!

Santiago, Chile: Palabras para el Ciclo de Cine Anticarcelario por el Grupo de Acción Antiautoritaria
Received by email: 29.7.20
Con estas letras queremos enviar un saludo fraterno al compañero subversivo Marcelo Villarroel Sepúlveda y a los/as compañeros/as que realizan el Ciclo de Cine Anticarcelario -iniciativa online en tiempos de pandemia- que en esta ocasión del día viernes 24 del presente mes tendrá un apoyo monetario con Marcelo a través de un “Lucazo”.
Recordemos que Marcelo se encuentra actualmente cumpliendo condena por la expropiación de dos sucursales bancarias, además de arrastrar otra por su accionar guerrillero en la organización Mapu-Lautaro en tiempos de dictadura y democracia[*].
La cárcel es una posibilidad para quienes se rebelan contra el orden de la dominación, como el compañero lo ha afirmado en varias ocasiones. Aquellas palabras se vuelven importantes para quienes estamos en la calle, no hay que tomar la lucha autónoma y antiautoritaria a la ligera, existen muchas consecuencias para quienes deciden generar diversas iniciativas contra todo lo establecido, contra la paz social y el capital/estado, y eso hay que tenerlo claro.

Comments Off on ‘The heuristic capacity of Anarchy’ by Gustavo Rodriguez
‘The heuristic capacity of Anarchy’ by Gustavo Rodriguez
received by email: 22.7.20
Jack Halberstam, a renown queer theorist, committed to the “anti-social project” and active contrasexual militant, begins his book The Queer Art of Failure[1], with an irreverent and fun excerpt, taken from the 20th episode of the 1st season of SpongeBob, which invites us to reflect:
Mr. Krabs: And just when you think you found the island of milk and honey they grab you by the britches…and haul you way up high. Then higher, and higher, and higher until you’re hauled up to the surface flopping and gasping for air. And then they cook ya, and then they eat ya, or worse…
SpongeBob (terrified): What could be worse than that?
Mr. Krabs (in a low voice): Gift shops.[2]
Halberstam, keeping certain “airs of familiarity” with the queer anarcho/nihilist perspective, draws an analogy between the fears that horrify SpongeBob and our daily threats in this living death imposed by domination: “SpongeBob wants to know what is the alternative to working all day for Mr. Krabs, or to being caught in the net of the objects of capitalism when he tries to escape”[3]. His book, as he warns us from the first paragraph of the Introduction, “is a kind of “SpongeBob Guide” to life” where he abandons the “idealism of hope.” Relying on the “low theory” that he borrows and adapts from the cultural studies of Stuart Hall, he bets on the vindication of failure that «preserves some of the wonderful anarchy of childhood and disturbs the supposed clear boundary between adults and children, between winners and losers. And although it is true that failure is accompanied by a set of negative affects, such as disappointment, disillusionment and despair, it also gives us the opportunity to use those negative affects to create holes in the toxic positivity of contemporary life”[4] (the added emphasis is mine).
In these days of pandemic, we’ve seen anarchism at display on the gift shop. It’s been selling under the red clearance label alongside other ideological wares as a politically correct “alternative”; oriented to positivity, construction, cooperation, care, integration and reform, in search of social acceptance and “strategic alliances”. Distanced from that somber Anarchy, always disposed to negation, illegality, conflict and rupture; that is to say, carefully distant from those honorable exceptions of the runaway herd that today, consistent with the praxis, spread the fire in the prairie. That anarchism that’s critical of public health; of gentrification and real estate speculation; of the costliness of life; of the privatization of resources; of industrial pollution; of gender disparity; of precariousness and unemployment; the poor quality of public education; the rise in public transport rates; of political corruption; of constitutional violations; loss of rights; of the inhumane conditions in the prisons; of police brutality; of the death penalty; militaristic interventionism; neocolonialist policies; of the degeneration of political parties; of electoral frauds; of the fascistic presidencies and; of all the deformations of democracy and the perversions of the State-capital; is not the contestation, the rejection and the negation of domination, but an “improved” extension of it that employs identical tactics in search of approval and legitimation, unveiling itself as a neat and efficient salesperson of the gift shop.

CHILE: URGENT – ARREST OF ANARCHIST COMRADES FRANCISCO SOLAR AND MÓNICA CABALLERO
[it, en, es] Arrestati gli anarchici Mónica Caballero e Francisco Solar (Cile)
—————-
Updates 25.7.20
The South Metropolitan Prosecutor’s Office requested preventive detention for our comrades Mónica Caballero and Francisco Solar who were formalized this Friday for the posting and placing of explosive devices.
Formalization took place in the 11th Guarantee Court of Santiago, an opportunity for the Prosecutor’s Office to award comrade Francisco Solar responsibility for the sending of an explosive package to the 54th Police Station in Huechuraba a year ago. Both are accused of sending the package that arrived at the offices of the minister of the interior Rodrigo Hinzpeter.
In addition Francisco was charged with the detonation of two handmade devices in the garden sector of the Tánica building, ex Transoceánica, in the commune of Vitacura. Our comrade Mónica Caballero was also formalized with this one accusation.
Given all this, the judge MÓNICA VERGARA, set an investigation deadline of six months, during which time the comrades will remain in preventive detention in the beginning.
Solidarity is our weapon
Solidarity is attack
For the immediate freedom of Francisco Solar and Mónica Caballero
FREEDOM TO ALL ANARCHIST AND NIHILIST PRISONERS
