Athens: Declaration by CCF member Christos Tsakalos during the 6th trial session of the ‘of 2nd Halandri case’ (1-2/2012)

en.contrainfo.espiv.net

According to your court indictment, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire is a terrorist organization. But words were never, nor are or will ever be neutral. Words acquire the meaning given by the person who uses them. We do not speak the language of the judges and prosecutors. We speak the language of the hunted who have refused the victim’s role, the wanted who have not handed themselves in to the authorities, the prisoners who have not caged their will for freedom, the anarchists who have never kneeled in front of Power. Solidarity, Dignity, Urban Guerrilla, Anarchy, these are our words, that we unleash as an insult against your system.
Yes, that’s right, we are anarchist urban guerrillas and proud to participate in the rebellion of our desires, under the name Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.
For you, who stand behind your judicial benches, we are terrorists because your soul is a scared shade which only feels safe behind cops and in the books of your dead laws.
We are terrorists against your interests and your Power. Life, physical integrity, safety and property of the judicial clique, the political authority, the oligarchy of the wealthy and the bosses are being targeted by both us and our unarrested comrades.
However, a different terrorism is hovering above the lives of most people. Terrorism is the endless queues in a tax office, in public organizations, in banks. Terrorism is the bosses’ orders to their staff. Terrorism is the heavy hand of the police landing on minor delinquents and poor devils. The worst terrorism, though, is the TERRIFYING ascertainment that no person raises its head. Terrorism is the silence and passivity. Terrorism is the fact that no person undertakes its own life.
We have also seen your terrorism; the terrorism of justice. We have seen tens of prison inmates returning from your courts, having an empty gaze and their lives burdened with several decades in prison. We have seen friends and relatives collapsing from your ‘just’ decisions.
We have seen your expressionless faces and your well-fed bellies fitting into your expensive and armored cars. We have heard and know your hefty salaries and your secret, under-the-table agreements that are of service to your valued buddies, the big publishers, the industrialists and your political supervisors. How many centuries in prison have you truly dished out throughout your career in order to serve a system which itself generates, through exploitation and oppression, those who you consider criminals?
Hence, outside of the books of your laws, if someone wants to seek the meaning of terrorism in real life, where the scared today dreads the threatening tomorrow that’s yet to come, you yourselves and the Power are the terrorists.
As for our terrorism, it is the human will for freedom and anarchy. Apparently, you dread this will, so you vote new terror laws, you establish exceptional courts-martial, you take special security measures, you do not allow us to talk to our relatives and companions during trial recesses, and even when you take us to the detention rooms, ten metres from your court room which is built inside the prison, you handcuff us. This means that you are really scared. This is an honour and pleasure for us, because it shows that a group of people, a circle of anarchist of praxis can terrify an entire State. This shows that, away from the silence and passivity of the mass, the will of only a few people is sufficient for your system to be crushed.
You should know that there are several insubordinate individualities living self-exiled from your society, who prepare and arm themselves, while they collectivize their own desires to overthrow the history of servants and their masters. That’s when you will really sense the concept of anarchist tromocracy; an anarchist tromocracy which is expressed with fire on banks, ministries, police stations; exploded with bombs outside luxurious villas of wealthy people, courthouses, multinational companies and industries of nature and animal exploitation; written with bullets fired on the dictators of our life and freedom; spoken inside court rooms by the mouths of prisoners of war, such as we who are not scared of your convictions and your prisons. This is the anarchist tromocracy. Thus, revise your indictment and add in your documents that CCF is an anarchist terrorist organization.
And all of us, who participate in this organization, are proud to be its members, and our rage is an axe over your heads that’s spinning… spinning… spinning…

Chile: Text for the call to solidarity – LONG LIVE THE CONSPIRACY OF CELLS OF FIRE!

from culmine, translated by war on society:

Brothers and sisters, a strong insurrectionalist embrace from across the distance.

We grow… undoubtedly we grow in each moment when we confront the enemies face to face, instances that are daily marked by the liberatory violence that strikes fear into the oppressor. Violence that you have vindicated as a generator of novel moments capable of jeopardizing the security and intelligence systems of power. Today you confront captivity with dignity, always at war with the jailer, betting on the generalization of the insurrection in every corner of the world. We from here, from damned Chile, make ourselves part of the solidarity call, perceiving it as one of the cornerstones of our revolutionary project.
The recognition from your Conspiracy is not the result of this situation, since for years we have come to recognize, really and truly recognize, by means of action — we believe that this is the best form of communication that we have been able to pursue. From attacks we have made on police stations to your attacks on embassies and ministries, we have been given a closeness full of life, projectuality and hatred toward every type of authority. This closeness has been marked also by the complicity in transgressive action, marked also by the innumerable victories that we have had… yes!! Victories. Every realized attack, that hot adrenaline that crosses our bodies before liberation in destructive action, the passion of the same act, the joy and happiness of knowing that for a moment the exploiter saw his world fall, these constitute our triumphs. People like you know of what we speak.

There also are victories in seeing the attacks multiply all over the world, anti-authoritarian attacks that despite the repressive blows remain unscathed, irreducibles being able to fool and continue fooling the enemy; for this and many more reasons we say: MAY THE FAI/FRI LIVE ON.*

We expect that this call for solidarity will materialize in concrete actions, and we will do our part, at any moment we will harden the surface against the powerful in your name, brothers and sisters, for you know that any imprisoned anarchist will be vindicated and avenged wherever they may be found. We continue to move without problems, the repressive blows still fall very far from us.
Our solidarity also goes to the warrior Luciano Pitronello and to the 5 accused in the media-judicial-policial frame-up “caso bombas.” The landslide of this stupid case will be as loud as the collapse of this world.

LONG LIVE INSURRECTIONALIST INTERNATIONALISM!
FOR THE MULTIPLICATION AND QUALIFICATION OF ATTACKS AGAINST THE POWERFUL!
LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

CHILE – Comrade Luciano “Tortuga” Pitronello in Court on Tuesday, November 22

November 23, 2011

FROM  http://culmine.noblogs.org/ Translate by sysiphus/Actforfreedomnow!
Comrade Tortuga in prison on remand for 75 days
First, a summary of Luciano’s case

On June 1, 2011, Luciano along with someone else went to the comune of Ñuñoa, in the centre of Santiago of Chile, to place a bomb consisting of a kilo of black powder against a branch of Banco Santander. Both were on a motorbike which had been taken from the apartment where Luciano’s brother lives a few hours before. The bike numberplate had been changed with a fake one stolen a few days before in order to mislead the police. On the night of the attack, Luciano got off the bike to place the bomb, but at this point the accident happened for reasons that are not known: it may be that the timer system did not work correctly or that the bomb had received a sudden knock or that static was the cause of the premature detonation. Luciano spent a week in an induced coma, in the Indisa clinic. He underwent amputation of his right hand and has only two fingers left on his other hand. He also suffered serious burns to the skin and respiratory problems from inhaling the hot air. On August 20, he was discharged from the hospital and went to live at his mother’s house. During this period, Lucian has only been able to receive the visits of his companion, with whom he has a three year old daughter.
Pre-trial detention
Today, November 22, Luciano left his mother’s house at 7:30, aboard an unmarked police car. The hearing for the formalization of the charges began at 9.30 am, at the Septimo Juzgado de Garantía de Santiago. Tortuga was formally charged with “placing an explosive device” and “using a false number plate”, for using a different plate from the original one on the day of the attack.
Tortuga’s defence lawyer stressed that the comrade must undergo weekly treatment and that he still has to have eye surgery, but the judge accepted the request of the Fiscalía Sur (attorney) and the plaintiff, or lawyer of the Ministry … of the Interior. For this reason preventive detention for a period of 75 days has been decreed for Tortuga, ie the period fixed for the preliminary investigations. The place of detention has been fixed as the prison hospital in Santiago 1 prison. In other words, he will remain there until early February.
However, Tortuga’s defence lawyers will be appealing against this decision in the coming days. It should be noted that Luciano is not a “danger to society” (to quote the words used in court), because he is getting used to a prosthesis and is under medical treatment, as well as under constant police persecution. It is impossible for Luciano to be a “danger” therefore.
During the hearing, but outside the courtroom, comrades in solidarity unrolled a banner.

The sentences that have been threatened against our comrade may be doubled due to the fact that he had “attacked a legal political and social system.” Tortuga faces a sentence of 5 to 20 years in prison.
Solidarity actions are needed now, it is now that it is necessary to show that Tortuga, and any other prisoner, is not alone.

Mexico: The Sole-Baleno insurgent cell of the CARI-PGG claims the package bomb sent to the attorney general

from culmine, translated by war on society:

Communique:
The Sole-Baleno insurgent cell of the CARI-PGG declare that in the weeks of November 1 to 15 of 2011 a package bomb was mailed addressed to the general offices of the PGR [Federal Attorney General], to be explicit the package was addressed to the attorney general Miguel Mancera. Although our objective was to wound the heads or apparent heads of the police system, being that the package apparently “originated” from the general offices of Telmex, specifically from the person in Telmex responsible for the Secure City project — the assistant director of Social Communication “Concepción Rivera Romero,” the package would have been returned to him if it did not reach its destination. The package bomb was composed of a galvanized metal pipe, dynamite, a 2.5 volt source, matches, cable, a 9 volt battery, and shrapnel.
The super cop Marcelo Ebrad, who is obsessed with control and order, in complicity with the Telmex corporation, is creating and putting into practice a strategy of social control based on fear and the individual’s control of him or herself, the citizen as his or her own police officer and as his or her neighbor’s police officer, a police role that the citizenry accept without opposition, sometimes out of fear and others for the pleasure of serving the system, the nation in some way. We see that for this control to function it is necessary to employ the most advanced technology, which is in reality the high point not only for social control, but also for the total control of nature, for total and absolute control of the thinking and responsible individual who is able to manage their own life. Therefore it is necessary to attack the technological apparatus, although the struggle, our struggle, is focused on attacking the system of domination in its totality.
On the other hand, the police as an institution, their computers, their surveillance systems, their patrols, their criminologists, their experts and their gendarmes, are also destined for complete control, for the protection of the interests of those who have power, for the protection of the “social order” so loved by the social democrats.
The new democratic police are 100% aware of their situation and the work that they do as protectors of capital, of the social peace, of the citizenry and of the techno-system, therefore attacks against these enemies of freedom are without distinction fully justified, objectively directed, since a Federal officer who rapes and murders does not have or represent greater fault than a State or Municipal police officer, who for the same reasons or different motives also forms part of the control and order, and is thus disposed to kill, in part due to his own frustrations, although we must affirm that it is necessary above all to strike at the head of the police apparatus. The ways are diverse, from package bombs to direct executions, but always marking our line and principles, since we do not seek to discharge emotional violence but rather to utilize the offensive self-defense in the form of rational and objectively directed violence, a shot in the head is more than sufficient to wipe some repressor from the map, and if it is only a small warning, one may fire a pair of bullets into the legs, trying to cause as little sensationalism as possible and pledging that the attack remains within the rationality that lies behind antagonist violence. Violence is not the problem, it is as natural as fear, it is our sense of immediate self-defense that the State/Capital/Church mediates through their control, religion and — in the case of the anarchist and social movements — their “pacifist” leakages have intended to wrest from the individual; the problem is not violence, the question concerns the focus and manner in which it is utilized — even daily — in the strategy.

For the spread of attacks against the police apparatus!!!

For the spread and propagation of attacks against the system of domination!!!

For the spread of solidarity with our comrade prisoners of war!!!

At war against the State/Capital and for Total Liberation,

Chile: Letter to the CCF from a nihilist accused in the bombs case

from culmine, translated by war on society:

Greetings brothers and sisters of the CCF, and to Theofilos Mavropoulos, I send you a fraternal embrace full of affection and complicity across the distance…
It is certain that we are judged by some for being anarchists, the eternal enemies of power, and that it is our theory made practice for long years that they now intend to severely punish.
Your voice has reached my heart, those sincere words full of solidarity caress my face, that strength animates me and your conviction I love; knowing that behind those bars there are not groans of sorrow, but rather screams of hatred, rage, hope — this gladdens me and makes me reaffirm that we are on the right path; it is then that I realize that each day new comrades are born who return to give sense to our new urban guerrilla, which is no longer merely local but is international, thanks in great part to the FAI and the contribution by you the CCF. Moreover I consider important the contribution that you are making in the circles linked to anarchist individualism, and our new and beautiful Nihilism.
We feel the same hatred toward the state, the same total disregard towards the new happy slave, towards the stupid mass that lets itself be led, we feel the same impotence of not being able to demolish the extermination centers that hold us captive, we feel multiple orgasms when we deliver ourselves completely to the realization of anarchy…
We are far away, but from here the distance is nothing, we are sure that sooner than later we will find each other whether in Greece, Italy, Chile or Mexico; our insurrectionalist-Nihilist international has battle camps in the streets of the entire world and there will always be space for individuals who understand that anarchy is not a cheap ideology but rather an idea that lives and conceives itself in direct action, because we know that the damned powerful will not give up their privileges and will defend them to the end of their dirty lives…
It is for this reason that we must communicate the importance of the threat of our new nihilism, it is for this reason that we have to accept that in order to triumph with our idea, we must drown the enemy in blood, and so with our sharp knives we will continue advancing toward the encounter with chaos, toward the creative nothing, and we will throw ourselves naked into that beautiful abyss where there is complete individual freedom…
I endorse the FAI-IRF. The Informal Anarchist Federation – International Revolutionary Front that is doubtless the Black International of the anarchists of action, since it has shown its capacity to respond in the face of the challenges that are emerging around the world…
But your call is not only for those who are in the bombs case, but rather has passed also to our dear brother Luciano, to whom our greatest homage will be to give him the harvest of actions that we realize with our hands…
You have also dedicated words to our brother Cristóbal Bravo, who was recently beaten by paid cowards, and it is here that it becomes important to shout loudly that the attack on property is not sufficient, which our Russian nihilist comrades understood very well and showed us that we must go further, without fear of disaster, it is your lives or ours or that of some comrade in prison, for now the impunity of that deed strikes me hard in the heart; they say that revenge is a plate best served cold, they also say that vengeance kills the soul and poisons you, I believe strongly that vengeance is the dessert in a meal for a nihilist, therefore one must not wait for facts before acting, and the main course will be to take the offensive since there are stupid cowards on all sides…
Comrades, my most heartfelt respect to your organization CCF and for the revolutionary anarchist Theofilos Mavropoulos, for all your contribution to the anarchic struggle and all the dignity that has been shown during your trial and your time in prison, I want to tell you that as great as those walls may be they cannot hide the enormous dignity and the great courage that you have shown to us the anarchists of the entire world.
Today you raise your fist, yelling “SOLIDARITY” in the international language of anarchy. And at the same time, with the other hand you hold firmly the knife of nihilism to sink it into the bowels of this world of Power and submission, well good; I from here send you all strength and energy that you may never wane! And know that nothing can separate us, we have begun an international anarchist offensive and we will not stop until we get to see the total end of all authority, of all society, of all gods, of all morals…
I take with my two hands, firmly and without hesitation, your knife of nihilism so that together we sink it into the heart of every tyrant, of every cop, of every jailer, of every bourgeois so that upon their corpses we can dance, laugh, fuck, enjoy and conquer once and for all our total freedom!
The death of our brother Mauricio Morales and the death of comrade Lambros Fountas, the loss of Luciano‘s hands and the loss of Simos Seisidis‘s wounded leg are an eternal call to fight, no anarchist wounded or killed in combat will be forgotten, it is the hour to thrust our dagger into the heart of the capitalist beast, they are our nourishment.

HONOR TO THE COMRADE LAMBROS FOUNTAS!

HONOR TO THE ROBBER COMRADE HORST FANTAZZINI!

LONG LIVE THE CONSPIRACY OF CELLS OF FIRE!

LONG LIVE THE FAI – LONG LIVE THE IRF!

FOR AN EGOISTS’ INTERNATIONAL, LONG LIVE NIHILISM!

IMMEDIATE FREEDOM TO LUCIANO PITRONELLO!

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!!!

NIHIL, an irreducible awaiting trial…

Chile: Communique for attack at Santander Bank where Tortuga fell

from liberaciontotal, translated by war on society:
Communique:
Clarification in regards to the attack that happened this morning at the Santander Bank at Vicuña Mackena and Victoria.
First, as clarification, although various communication media said that it was a fake explosive device, a simple fire extinguisher with a kind of wiring, just like they said that it was a sound bomb that did not explode; in the face of this we make our declaration, in order to clarify the issue and not lower the profile of the attack as the police and the bourgeois press try to do; and also to share our self-criticism with respect to the action.
We went to the site at around 2:30 am, with the device made of a fire extinguisher with a capacity of 10kg which contained inside 5kg of black powder and an attached timing system for its subsequent activation, which was held in a bag apt for its proportions. The device was timed for 20 minutes; and it is there where we find the error (we suppose), more specifically in the component charged with ignition, that is the lightbulb or the power source, which either failed or were not sufficiently apt for the magnitude of the explosive itself, it’s for this reason that it ultimately didn’t explode, being detected around 4am by the police, who developed an extensive operation to evacuate the site and proceed to investigate it.
The meaning behind this attack, in addition to attacking an entity of capital, is to avenge in the same place of his fall our comrade Luciano Pitronello, Tortuga, bearing in mind that this week the trial that intends to encarcerate our comrades is set to begin, a simple call to not forget that there are comrades who are in the clutches of the enemy taking the consequences of having declared war on this society.
Likewise, with the same air that fills our lungs, and that fills them as much with love as with hatred, from the third world we received with affection the words of war from the comrades of the CCF, who we salute with our action.
PS: Tortuga, we hope these words of sedition reach your ears, brother, since the main protagonist of this action was you, and with that we salute you and we recall that an anarchist of action is never alone, since the struggle bonds us. Also we ask your pardon since this propaganda by the deed was to be on the date of your birthday, which could not be by the same pulse of insurrectional practice in ourselves, but the vengeance does not end here…

Until we are… FREE AND WILD

ANONYMOUS FOR DESTRUCTION.

Mexican Fire Cells Conspiracy torches 13 shops at Las Torres shopping mall in Ciudad Juarez

Posted on November 6, 2011 by This Is Our Job

From Culmine (November 4, 2011):

To all like-minded arsonists and antagonists, the fifth communiqué from the Mexican Fire Cells Conspiracy/Informal Anarchist Federation (CCF-FAI/Mexico):
Neither exasperated, indignant, nor broken! Arsonists at war against domination!
Solidarity with the 32 people arrested yesterday!
Against the system of domination!
For Total Liberation!

Yesterday at 9:21 a.m., liberatory fire burned once again, destroying merchandise. The Fire Cells Conspiracy (CCF) faction of the Mexican Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI-M), Chihuahua section, gave life to antagonistic fire at the Woolworth in Las Torres shopping mall, also setting fire to several multinational capitalist entities here in Ciudad Juarez in solidarity with the 32 protestors arrested yesterday by the forces of repression. Thirteen shops were destroyed, as Woolworth and Wendy’s were consumed by antagonistic fire. With this attack, we also join the campaign for the release of comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva, and we show solidarity with comrades Cristobal Franke, Francisco Moreno, Gonzalo Zapata, and Zerman Elias in Chile, our comrade Tamara, the comrade prisoners from the Fire Cells Conspiracy in Greece, and all anarchist comrades being held captive by the state in Mexico and the rest of the world.
We continue to strike the system of domination with coordinated international antagonistic struggle. Anarchist struggle is possible, and it is a weapon of solidarity with our imprisoned comrades. We leave behind the fear and indignation of the broken, and make the shift to decisive struggle against domination. We leave behind discourse and move on to practice. Our act of solidarity with the arrestees here in Ciudad Juarez doesn’t mean that we support the pacifist strategy of the indignant, nor does it mean that we stand in solidarity with their broken proposals. Our action isn’t in support of the Citizen’s Cause or any other leftist, Perredista, or Zapatista NGO. Our action is a warning that all attacks by domination will have a response.
We don’t want to change the laws. We don’t want to change domination. WE WANT TO DESTROY THEM!

Neither exasperated, indignant, nor broken—we are Arsonists! We are antagonists! We are anarchists!
We are all the Fire Cells Conspiracy!
The Fire Cells Conspiracy isn’t an ORGANIZATION. Rather, it is the antagonists’ expression of rage and contempt toward domination and its institutions.
By spreading the Fire Cells Conspiracy, we continue the war on the existent order.
All our solidarity with comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva!
Long live antagonistic struggle!
Long live anarchy!
