The second edition of the anarchist publication Rumoer is out! A publication which will hopefully provoke discussion, irritation, inspiration, agitation, and attack. Because we do not want a raise in wages, but the destruction of work. Because we do not want to shout ‘boo!’ but want to hear BOOM! We want a confrontation without compromise with the system that is destroying our lives and the planet.
In this issue some extra attention for the rampaging Covid-19 virus. But also just the ongoing anarchist interventions and other topics: an interview with a graffiti maker in Lebanon, the fight against Shell, post-gentrification and the use of the Signal app.
If you want to receive the new Rumoer, send an email to: rumoer (((A))) riseup /// net. Since most social centres are currently closed, we ask you to help spread the latest edition. Order some extra copies and bring it to your neighbours, isolated family, friends and comrades.
You can also download the new Rumoer or print it yourself. The link to the downloads can be found at rumoer.noblogs.org
Remember, the streets are empty, the possibilities are open. Keep 1.5 meters away, but always at least ten times as much from the police!

Somewhere in France – RTE fuck off – Let’s sabotage their plundering, in support of Amassada (January 2020)
A communique in support of Amassada – somewhere in France
Well, we won’t issue the umpteenth press release to tell you how rotten the world we live in is. It’s disgusting. Makes us sick. From this starting point we tried to imagine worlds where everything is turned upside down. Where we’d stop using mad quantities of energy to fabricate useless objects to be consumed.
Clowns would inhabit the planet, work would be voluntary and anarchy would triumph.
«Border» would be a world banned from the dictionary. Nature would no longer be a resource of which we want to maximize the economic exploitation, but something to be respected as such, to be preserved so as to continue to live in it. «Equity» would no longer be a mere word, it would be next to «freedom» in our hearts and gestures.
We might also put in « adelphité» as an extra.
But there are many walls to be crossed (or demolished) before celebrations and rainbows.
The authoritarian and liberticidal State, allied to a capitalism painted in green, which pollutes and exploits happily, as usual, must be destroyed. No reform will ever be able to overcome it.

Translated from Italian by act for freedom now!
We receive and spread:
Anonymous Translation Group or Anonymous Anarchist Texts Translation Group
There are books that “don’t exist”… because they are incomprehensible (due to linguistic barriers) or are difficult to find. Why not take the time to find them, read them and translate them?
Due to a chance sequence of events we found ourselves sharing suggestions, reflections and information. Thanks to our various language skills we thought it would be interesting to start translating books, texts and pamphlets where they cannot easily be got hold of so as to spread them and principally give resonance to actions and intentions that we feel affinity with.
The idea of the Anonymous Translation Group (G.T.A.)/GATTA was born, as often happens, in clear simplicity in a suggestion made around a common, but not ordinary, stove amid the coolness of leafy branches between one chat and another together among friends with a fantastic desire to make proliferate, spread and share ideas and thoughts coming from far-off lands, some of them almost unknown. We like digging into the past, into that of little-known comrades, of almost unobserved actions, but also the present where a contribution of a different flavour on already widely digested analyses can whet the appetite again. Or simply the will to spread as widely as possible the pieces we liked and are difficult to find in distros.
Rather than the umpteenth project that develops from the web, this is an opening on paper, starting from the choice of translating texts that push us to sail unknown and less explored seas, to the moment of the sharing of translated and printed texts which we’d like to do in person or through direct correspondence for those who are locked up.

Comments Off on Letter from an Anarchist Political Prisoner for Day of the Young Combatant in Chile
Letter from an Anarchist Political Prisoner for Day of the Young Combatant in Chile
These words of love and war go to Jhonny Cariqueo and his fireproof father.
I never met you in person Jhonny, I knew you were a compañero, an inhabitant of Pudahuel who like many young people went out at night to commemorate another year of the Day of the Young Combatant back there in 2008.
Minions can’t bear the insolence to challenge them, not even with words nor with homemade weapons, and they throw themselves to the wild charge entrusted in them by the state. They take you after an act in a square in your commune. I imagine those moments, screams, weapons to the head, immobility, looks of hatred between both sides. You were transferred with other brave ones to the dungeons of the sadistic 26th Police Station, beaten and humiliated by those that are only courageous for abuse but not for combat. They beat you, your heart clenches, you communicate it to your captors, they in their cruelty just ignore you and mock you. My spirit burns with rage at imagining this. They release you. I imagine you coming to your house, with yours worries, tiredness, the desire to sleep, your father’s love. Continue Reading →

A first statement from comrades Valavani, Athanasopoulou and Michailidis
Difficult is the moment when freedom is lost. Especially when it had been won in adverse conditions. The situation gets worse if we consider that the blow we received on a material level has even stronger symbolic implications. Our cinematic arrest was followed by similar media propaganda, our graphic tour with bulletproof vests and the usual judicial management to find ourselves once again with an overblown set of charges, elements that form an extension of the handcuffs and weapons of the uniformed assassins.
A look at the wider social situation around us which is changing at a rapid pace so that we can slip away from our own microcosm a little.
From the magnitude of the workers’ exploitation and abolishing of labour rights to the stranglehold of animals in meat production units. From the intensive repression against protests and the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment from anti-terrorist services around the world, to deforestation and the disappearance of wildlife. From the financial exclusion of a growing social segment to the violent marginalization of most of the earth’s population. To the murders of the poor, the excluded, of all who are leftovers in the world of the mighty. From the provocative economic and business elite to the peoples being bombed, shot and uprooted. Where the interests of the powerful mean death, danger or a life drowned in submission. Nature, animals and humans mean nothing more than units generating profits and wealth. These and many others led us to choose the anarchist struggle, a choice that challenges the existing social order.
Our initial focus is on creating authentic and sincere relations, while at the same time there is the lasting need of our participation in the multiform struggle. After all, the anarchist struggle does not differentiate its means or support a hierarchy of forms of struggle. It is imperative and adjusts according to the conditions of each era, placing its bet on collectivization and diffusion on the social fabric.

Leipzig, Germany: Arson Attack Against Prison Profiteers PKE
22.03.2020: Last night we set fire to a PKE vehicle. The group produces security technology for prisons.
It is important that we do not forget those who are hit hardest by the current situation than we are. Besides the at risk groups, there are the people who are locked up in mass accommodation, crammed into camps at the borders or forgotten behind bars.

Comments Off on Santiago, Chile: Solidarity is the Virus that Capitalism Fears
Santiago, Chile: Solidarity is the Virus that Capitalism Fears
A day of robberies in big chain stores to distribute to homeless people. Audio-visual material recorded in the streets of Santiago, $hile in times of quarantine and militarized curfew under the pretext of the Covid-19 virus.
Background music: Golpebalabeso/Niña Debacle/Paniko. Recorded in Chauri Chaura Studio.
All sanitary measures were taken to avoid harming the street people in terms of hygiene and viruses, but the use of white overalls is a gesture of rebellion and action against the power here in the territory governed by the $hilean state. Many high school students resist and attack the police in their jails-schools while wearing these clothes that the police hate and fear. Here is a video for those who didn’t know and to give some context.
Long live the violent war against authority and power!
As long as misery exists there will be rebellion!
Prisoners of war to the streets!

[Región chilena] PALABRAS DESDE LA PRISIÓN POR EL DÍA DEL JOVEN COMBATIENTE
PALABRAS DESDE LA PRISIÓN POR EL DÍA DEL JOVEN COMBATIENTE
Estas palabras de amor y guerra van para el Jhonny Cariqueo y su
incombustible padre.
Yo jamás te conocí en persona Jhonny, supe que eras un compañero
poblador de Pudahuel que como muchos jóvenes y no tanto salieron una
noche a conmemorar otro año más del Día del Joven Combatiente allá por
el 2008.
Los esbirros no soportan la insolencia de desafiarlos, ni con palabras
ni con armas caseras y se tiran a la salvaje carga de encomendados por
el Estado. Te toman luego de un acto en una plaza de tu comuna. Imagino
esos momentos, gritos, armas a la cabeza, inmovilidad, miradas de odio
entre ambos bandos. Tú reducido y trasladado junto a otrxs valientes a
las mazmorras de la sádica 26ª Comisaría golpeado y humillado por los
que solo son corajudos para el abuso pero no para el combate. Te siguen
golpeando, tu corazón aprieta, se lo comunicas a tus captores, ellos en
su crueldad solo te ignoran y se burlan. Mi espíritu arde en rabia al
imaginar esto. Te sueltan. Te imagino llegando a tu casa, con los tuyos
preocupados, el cansancio, las ganas de dormir, el cariño de tu padre.
Pasa la noche e imagino que te sentías mal, tu pecho aprieta, sin
saberlo si quiera, la mano de la muerta te toma el hombro. Falleces a
causa de la golpiza en la comisaría y la falta de atención donde tu gran
corazón dejó de funcionar. Compañero a tí te ASESINÓ la policía y eso
caminará junto a nosotrxs por el resto de la vida.
Yo asistí a tu funeral, abrazos entre compas, caras de rabia y dolor,
hicimos una cucha y compramos una corona de flores. Se dibujaba una
bandera rojinegra en diagonal de la Anarquía, como tu grito, como tu
rap, como tus ideas.

Comments Off on Portugal – Spain ES/EN – Update on anarchist comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva
Portugal – Spain ES/EN – Update on anarchist comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva
(27/03/2020)
We recall that our anarchist comrade Gabriel Pombo Da Silva was arrested in Portugal on January 25th, after a year and half of clandestinity.
During his confinement in the cells of the Porto judicial police station the defense has worked for his immediate release as the law “provides”. But, as we already know, that right is inversely proportional to power and Portugal has clearly demonstrated to be under the power of the Spanish State that wants to completely annihilate our comrade. They haven’t done it after 32 years behind bars, nor with isolation, torture and humiliation of all kinds, how can they think they will do it now!?
Mrs. Mercedes Alcázar Navarro (judge of court number 2 of Girona), in any case, is working hard on it and, for now, thanks to the close and subordinate collaboration of her Portuguese colleagues, has managed to convince the Lisbon Supreme Court to give in to her reasoning.
Today, March 27, we have learned that the aforementioned court has pronounced in favor of Gabriel’s extradition to the Spanish State. In fact that has finally been confirmed to us that this final judgment has been the fruit of the close collaboration of these two countries, and the issuance of the judgment took only 3 days (an appeal was presented by the defense on March 5th, received the following day, then was in the hands of the competent judges on March 23rd, and the sentence signed on March 26th!!!).

UPRISING IN THE IRANIAN PRISONS/شورش در زندان های ایران by Anarchists in Iran
On March 26, 2019 [yesterday], after the protests by hunger strike of the prisoners in some Iranian prisons, due to the poor prison conditions and the spread of the corona virus and even the deaths of several prisoners, the prisoners in some wards of Tabriz Central Prison, a city in the northwestern of Iran have rebelled.
According to the official reporting from the state news agencies, the cops forces have besieged areas all around and heard gunshotings.
The hypocritical and oppressive totaliter regime of Iran has attacked the defenseless prisoners with tear gas and direct gunfire and has also injured several of the prisoners.

Cuarentena City , Madrid : nueva publicación anarquista desde Madrid
Sale a la luz el primer número de una nueva publicación anarquista en
Madrid, en tiempos de Estado de Alarma, por la extensión de la guerra
social.
Contenido:
-Hacia aguas desconocidas
-Que vuelvan las huelasgas. Que proliferen las okupaciones. Que lleguen los saqueos
-Sobre el ataque a nuestros lazos
-Crónica de motines, fugas y sucesos en las cárceles y CIES a causa de
la crisis del coronavirus
-¿Volver a dónde? ¿Volver a qué?
Hacia aguas desconocidas
Llevamos más de una semana en estado de emergencia. La capacidad
destructiva del virus no es algo ya cuestionable. Pero nos gustaría
hacer unos apuntes sobre sus consecuencias no clínicas y sobres sus
orígenes.
Si el COVID-19 surgió por un murciélago o por un intento estadounidense, que se ha ido de las manos, de deshabilitar la economía china, nos parece poco relevante ahora. Este virus, como otros anteriores en la historia que masacraron poblaciones enteras en la Amazonía, Mesoamérica, África y Oceanía, es un fenómeno biológico. Pero el contexto donde nace, la forma en que se propaga y la gestión de este son cuestiones sociales.
Este virus es el resultado de un sistema que mercantiliza cada proceso,
objeto, relación o ser vivo en la tierra. Extendido rápidamente por la
macroconcentración de mano de obra y corpus consumista de las ciudades, que se alimenta de la agroindustria y la ganadería intensiva. Un flujo constante de bienes humanos (5.000 millones de personas vuelan anualmente alrededor del planeta) a velocidades frenéticas, reflejados en 200 caracteres y 5000 likes.

UK : Letter from John Bowden: ‘I Leave Prison Unbroken, My Political Integrity Uncompromised And Unyielding’
On the 20th February, the Parole Board finally agreed to my release after forty years of my imprisonment and four previous parole hearings when my release was denied not because I represented a risk or danger to the public but because I was labelled an “anti-authoritarian” prisoner with links to anarchist and communist groups on the outside, specifically Anarchist Black Cross and the Revolutionary Communist Group.
Following a parole knockback of my release last year, I instigated a Judicial Review of the decision. Which although it did not succeed fired a judicial shot across the bows of the Parole Board and Ministry of Justice. And persuade them that future decisions on my release or not would have to be based on proper legal criteria. Specifically, whether my continued imprisonment could be justified in the Interests of public protection and-not just because I was labelled a “difficult prisoner” by the – prison authorities.
So, the parole panel considering my case in February of this year had to admit there was no real lawful justification for my continued imprisonment and so reluctantly agreed to my release. However, in its written decision, the Parole Board claimed that my “current risk factors” included “anti-authority views” and “attitudes supportive of the use of violence.” It also wrote: “During your sentence, you have evidenced that you have a mistrust of those in authority and professionals have previously reported that if you felt unfairly treated or discriminated against, coupled with any engagement with anti-social peers, then this could increase your risk of violence. Your attitude towards authority and your personality characteristics have also been considered by professionals to present a potential challenge in your future risk management.”

Italia: Quale internazionale? Intervista e dialogo con Alfredo Cospito dal carcere di Ferrara. Terza parte (Vetriolo, giornale anarchico, n. 4, inverno 2020)
Il testo che riportiamo qui è la terza e ultima parte di “Quale internazionale? Intervista e dialogo con Alfredo Cospito dal carcere di Ferrara”, pubblicata nel mese di marzo 2020 nel numero 4 del giornale anarchico “Vetriolo”.
Le parti prima e seconda sono state pubblicate rispettivamente nel numero 2 (autunno 2018) e 3 (inverno 2019). Data la complessità e la vastità degli argomenti trattati e del testo stesso, non è stato possibile pubblicarlo integralmente in un solo numero del giornale e si è scelto di suddividerlo in tre parti. Tutto lo scritto verrà stampato in un volume di prossima pubblicazione.
Con l’occasione, segnaliamo e correggiamo un errore presente nella terza parte (invitiamo a fare attenzione a questo passaggio durante la lettura del giornale). L’errore si trova nella quarta colonna di pagina 11, righe 4 – 11. Per una maggiore comprensione riportiamo l’intera frase: «Questo concetto può riacquistare un senso, una sua concretezza, una sua attualità solo se accompagnato dalla «rivolta», dalla violenza. La «rivoluzione» si accontenta del “pathos” (sentimenti, passioni, fascinazione) e della “praxis” (azione distruttiva, la propaganda del fatto, la violenza)».
L’errore è nella parola «rivoluzione», cui bisogna sostituire «rivolta». Quindi la frase corretta è: «Questo concetto può riacquistare un senso, una sua concretezza, una sua attualità solo se accompagnato dalla «rivolta», dalla violenza. La «rivolta» si accontenta del “pathos” (sentimenti, passioni, fascinazione) e della “praxis” (azione distruttiva, la propaganda del fatto, la violenza)».

Italy : Updates on Manu, Stecco, Juan and Sasha
roundrobin.info/ 9th March 2020
Translated by act for freedom now!
—————————-
We receive and spread:
Stecco has been under house arrest since 11th February, with the main restriction that he is forbidden to see anyone with previous convictions. Manu has been under house arrest since 5th March, he has full restrictions and can only see the family members living in the house. Sasha is free, she was released from all the measures of compulsory residence and night curfew!
Always alongside burning hearts! All free!
Juan was arrested in May 2019 after about two years on the run and is currently locked up in the AS2 unit of the prison of Terni for a total sentence of a dozen years. In a recent appeal trial he was sentenced to 2 years 6 months for carrying fake documents and a knife, is also being investigated for an attack on the League premises in Treviso, which took place in August 2018. Given that the evidence against him in relation to the action is allegedly a “partial DNA trace”, the prosecutor had demanded that the comrade be subjected to “mucus sample taking from the oral cavity”. As Juan refused to give his DNA, the prosecutor demanded and obtained authorization from the investigating judge for coercive sample taking, “through physical restraint for the time strictly necessary for the coercive sample taking”. This is due to take place in the presence of a lawyer on 4th March. Juan tells us he will oppose resistance (“a pacific one, given the disproportion of forces”) as a question of principle, and that he’ll tell us how it goes in a communique, so that it can also be useful to others.
Between his refusal of sample taking and the authorization to proceed with a coercive one, something happened that Juan wants to make public. On 27th February 2020 at 9am the guards searched the unit. A comb was secretly taken from Juan’s cell and replaced with an identical one, except for a few details (no residue of hair in it and a brighter colour), which the comrade noted and is absolutely sure about. Juan threw the comb on the guard’s desk so that the latter will have to write the usual report on the matter.
