Editorial by CCFHow we came upwith the concept ofBlack Internationaleditions

We certainly have a lot more to doand even more to say. Frequentlyrequested is the answer to thequestion of “what do we target?”

From the very first day of theimprisonment of each of us wenever stopped the production ofour speech and our suggestionsand imperatives. Through texts,communiques, thoughts,discussions on other texts,pamphlets, translations …

Of course, we do not forget nornever forgot, that theory is a toolwhich obtains its authenticmeaning only when combinedwith the underlying action. Wenever wanted to settle forharmless theoreticalinvestigations, nor believed thatthe acts speak for themselvesalone.

They might have imprisoned ourbodies but not our ideas, beliefsand values, which will continueto escape through variousprojects of insubordination.One of these projects is thecreation of “Black International”editions, which are supported byus, the imprisoned members ofthe Anarchist RevolutionaryOrganization Conspiracy of Cellsof Fire, and from certain comradeswho every day, every moment,

Introduction -A few words aboutthe brochure

This pamphlet is a meeting pointof comrades from all over theworld. An imaginary meetingsince the walls and bars of theprisons where we are temporarilykeep our bodies hostage. But ourmeanings remain free, escape fromthe cells of prison and areexpressed with words continuingto provoke authority.

Words that still smell of fire andgunpowder, words which carrywith them all of our hate for thesystem, words unrepentant andarmed, words which transferstresses and desires, words whichbreak the isolation of prison,words full of passion for themutiny we want to continue,words from Chile, Mexico,America, Spain, Germany,Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria,Indonesia...

The letters sent to us by thehostage comrades, replying thusto the international call ofsolidarity of the CCF is not justmail between prisoners.

Our plan for a Black Internationalof imprisoned anarchists, is notsimply “a nice theory” which beginsand ends inside printed words. Itis the deposit of memory whichexists, in a move forward.

A memory which does not alwayscount its moments with commonterms and common referencepoints. By reading this pamphletsomeone can discover aninternational galaxy of points ofviews and positions withcomrades whose references speakof the class war and theproletariat and others who speakof nihilism and anti-socialism.

This difference for us is not a

embody practically the value ofSOLIDARITY.

Together with these comrades wedesire to create an anarchistpublishing experiment that is notlimited only in Greece but tries tospread into the internationalnetwork of anarchists, into theactual Black International, thatnow in the year 2012 is a feasiblereality.

Besides, through this perspectivewe were inspired with the nameof the editions, desiring that“Black International” will not belimited to shelves and bookcases,but seeks its authentic meaning inthe streets, where the history ofthe Anarchist Insurgency andcontinuing rebellion is written.

How “Black International”editions will function

In the development of the editionswe experience some difficultieswhich we intend to treat withsincerity and honesty. Our pointof view on self -organized, andclearly anti-commercializedprojects arefixed and can be easilycommunicated, within a fewwords. We do not sell, we share.

For us it would be ideal for thepublications to function by being“sponsored” by moneyexpropriated from the enemy. Inthis way, not only would it beeasier to achieve the publicationof a book, but even morefundamentally, it would be thebest way to connect this projectwith Anarchist Struggle. But nowwe are faced with the coercivecondition of imprisonment, whichdoes not leave us room to“function” exactly as we desire. Sowe are forced to finance thepublishing and distribution ofthese publications by putting anoptional price.

A price which, however anyonecan intervene in whatever wayone wishes. For example, in theself-organized spaces where thebooks will be available they willbe accompanied by a box whereeveryone can contributeregardless of the proposed price

that will have been determinedby us. As for book stores, thepublications may well be usefulas a training exercise forexpropriation...

contradiction. On the contrary itreveals the invisible line whichconnects all forms of anarchy anddispute into an internationalrevolutionary front which has asits aim to destroy every form ofauthority. Besides, thedisagreements between comradeswho honour their words withtheir actions, consist the mostideal beginning of an authenticdialogue between the tendencies ofthe anarchist movement.

What we despise are thereformist-fake anarchists whomake comfort and cowardice theirpolitical theory and idealize it.

From there on the disagreementswith comrades of praxis create thefertile ground for the evolution ofall of every one of us.

Because let us not forget that theletters of the comrades which arein this pamphlet are not justtheories, but choices of actionwhich they repay with years ofprison.

Thus today which is the time ofunstoppable blabbering andharmless revolutionary rhetoric,some write with the pen touchingthe paper, while some with oursoul at the tip of the pen. Readingthe letters of the comrades for surewe discover a part of their heartand we thank them for that.

Maybe these letters are a personalaccount of individual choices, buttheir content is not lost in thesphere of the private. They are anopen invitation of constantbattling against authority,proving that the our body even ifstill hostage behind the prisonbars, has the memory of ouranarchic life and our heart is fullof passion for new attacks, for newvandalisms, for new conspiraciesof fire which burn the restrictionsand liberates us.

The second part of the pamphletcontains some texts of imprisonedcomrades and anarchists whorefer to the escape attempt bysome of the members of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire fromKoridallos prisons.

It is a greeting to a moment ofdisobedience experienced throughthe hostage world of prison.

The decision of four comrades ofthe CCF together with anarchistTheofilos Mavropoulos and onemore prisoner to escape, havingwith them a pistol and some self-made knives supports theperpetual choice of notsurrendering to the enemy.It is a signal of continuation of theanarchist mutiny even fromwithin the walls of hostage and aninternational proposition andprospect towards our imprisonedbrothers and sisters.

In the third part of the pamphletthere is a self presentation ofmany anarchist web sites. Theseweb sites together with others arefor us the modern crossroad of theinternational meetings of theanarchists of praxis.

The translations of communiquesof direct action groups, texts andletters of imprisoned anarchiststransfer the message of waragainst the systeminternationally. These web sitesare invisible meeting points ofperceptions, positions, actionswhich spread that this world andits dominators can be taken down.

They abolish geographicalborders, surpass the obstacles of adifferent language, break thesilencing of mainstream means ofpropaganda and spread liberatedmoments and situations towhoever desires to take their lifeinto their own hands.

They are the messengers of our decisionto get off the train of compromises andstart the international voyage ofanarchy without a return ticket...

Finally in the fourth part of thepamphlet, are published theletters of our imprisonedcomrades Eat and Billy (membersof the Indonesian FAI – Long LiveLuciano Tortuga Cell) and ofLuciano Tortuga (Chilean comradewho was heavily wounded fromthe explosion of a mechanism hewas carrying).

Two letters which whenpublished had great value for us,this is why we chose to re-publishthem. They are words writtenwith soul and passion, whichprove that these comrades, despitethe things which have happenedto them, keep alive and authentictheir values and anarchistconscience. Eat and Billy throughthe harsh conditions they areexperiencing in the prisons of theIndonesian state, usually withoutbeing able to communicate witheach other, took the responsibilityof their participation in FAI andare now accused of the arson of abank. The same moment, a thirdcomrade of theirs, who wasinjured during the arson, iswanted by the authorities.Also comrade Luciano Tortugahaving been heavily wounded(amputation of an arm, burns etc.)is hostage of the state of Chile. Theauthorities of Chile show off alltheir vengeful rage against him,seeing in the face of Luciano, theirinternal enemy, the anarchists ofpraxis, who never stoppedattacking and sabotagingauthority. The letter by Luciano aswell as the unrepentant attitude ofEat and Billy spoke to our heart,and are a compass of fire in ourchaotic voyage for anarchy. Afterthe recent events in Mexico, whichended up with the arrest andwounding of Mario Lopez and awarrant for his partner FelicityRyder who now is a fugitive, wedecided to include in this versiontheir letters.

As a small token of friendship andcomradeship we dedicate thispublication to them with all oursoul.

InternationalProposal from theConspiracy of Cellsof Fire

Monday, September 26th, 2011

To all anarchist prisoners:

Prison is the country of prisoners.From here inside, we want to sendgreetings to our comrades,imprisoned around the world, aswell as set a proposal in motion.

In the country of prisoners, thedays go by one after the other,slow and indifferent, whileeverywhere cement and animmense boredom prevail.

Nevertheless, our minds oftenescape and secretly visit ourbrothers and sisters imprisoned inChile, Mexico, Italy, Germany,Switzerland, England, Russia,Denmark, and wherever else thereare cells full of people who haven’tlost the desire for freedom.

Comrades, we talk to you eventhough we don’t speak the samelanguage. We see you even thoughwe’ve never met face-to-face. Wesmile at you even though we don’tknow one another.

4

morally and marginalizeanarchist urban guerrilla warfare.

The State wants to wipe the choiceof anarchist direct action off themap of values held by subversivecircles.

It wants to portray direct actionas a futile decision that leadsdirectly to prison, changingnothing.

However, when you choose directaction, you choose to take your lifeinto your own hands.

Through direct action, we breakaway from stagnant thinking, wenegate spineless movements, andwe sabotage the clocks ofdiscipline, creating free time andspace within the hostileenvironment of the metropolis.

There, where surveillance camerasrecord our every move, uniformedpolice pigs memorize our faces,and the screens of the spectaclefabricate our desires, we onceagain don our masks. Our handsgrab hold of stones, Molotovs,bombs, pistols, and we pour intothe streets in search of freedom.

Now, even in prison, we don’t everforget that feeling, and we’ll doexactly the same thing again thefirst chance we get.

We therefore don’t wantintellectuals, universityprofessors, or any of the well-known hacks from leftist cliquesdefending us at our trial.

What do any of them know aboutthe adventure of direct action andits values?

What can be said by those whospend all day firmly seated intheir comfortable offices,chitchatting against the systemfrom the vantage point of theirleftist salon culture while thatvery system feeds them?

No, let them keep their“sensitivity” and the guilt theyfeel for having sold out to thePower that wants to portray us as“troubled, socially impressionableyouths.”

We’re not looking for fakesympathy or support from theLeft. Far from it. We seekaccomplices to the same crime: thefight for anarchy and freedom.

There can be no more appropriateplace for our search than theprisons that constitute anobligatory stop on the path ofmany anarchist comrades.

Therefore, comrades, we presentyou with a proposal/invitation.

In a few months the secondConspiracy of Cells of Fire trialwill be held.

Even now we know that they willsentence us, and not for oneminute will we take a step back,nor will we lower our heads orour voices in order to benefit fromsome “extenuating circumstance.”

Therefore, there can be no betteror stronger argument for ourdefense that your own voice,comrades. It’s from yourexpressions of solidarity and theattacks carried out by anarchistdirect action groups that we drawthe courage to look ourpersecutors directly in the eye.Surely you’ve felt the same thing,imprisoned in other countries andpaying the same price for ourshared passion for freedom.

More specifically, what we’rethinking about and proposing is torelease, ahead of the trial, apamphlet containing yourinternational words of solidaritywith the Conspiracy of Cells ofFire case.

At the same time, given thatsolidarity is a reciprocal conceptto us, we’d like it if those of youwho want to contributesomething—thereby giving usstrength and support—accompany it with anintroductory text explaining yourown case.

The pamphlet we want to releasewill thus include summaries ofeach of your cases, carrying yourown experience of struggle toGreece and the other countries

The enemy believes it can breakour morale by locking us up in itscells for months and years. Powerthus expects to receive adeclaration of remorse, arenunciation of direct action, arevision of our anarchist values.

But the only thing it will receive isour utter contempt and our mostpotent rage. All of us who haveassumed responsibility forbelonging to the first phase of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire expectsentences of many years—condemnation by a system wehave declared war on because wewill not tolerate it governing ourlives.

We want to transform theupcoming trial of the Conspiracyof Cells of Fire into a trial of thesystem.

By way of our discourse and ourattitude, it won’t be us defendingourselves in front of the judges,but them defending themselves infront of us - for the crimescommitted by the Power theyserve.

At the same time, we want todraw attention to the fascistmechanism constructed topersecute us via the collaborationof the police, the judiciary, and themass media.

A mechanism that launched anunprecedented anti-anarchistcampaign whose goal was not justour arrest, but also the creation ofa climate of widespread fear inwhich even the possession ofpreviously published texts byanarchist prisoners could lead to adate with the prosecutor.

This was preceded by numerousdetentions, the issuing of arrestwarrants, the publication ofphotos of those of us who were atlarge, mass media screenplaysabout “connections between allthe guerrilla organizations,”reports about the “revolutionaryfund” and our participation inbank robberies, “specialist”analyses of each of our“psychological profiles,” andmany other methodical schemeswhose objective was to isolate us

where the publication will bedistributed, creating newopportunities to instigatehostilities with the system as partof international solidarity.

Together we will create aninternational experience ofstruggle that far exceeds ourspecific case, since we don’t viewthe Conspiracy of Cells of Fire asthe simple calling card of anorganization. We view it as a wayof being that describes andcomprises the features andtrajectory of the anarchiststruggle we’re all engaged in,another part of which is our timespent in prison.

This is an experience we want toshare with all you comrades whofind yourselves prisoners in thehands of the State, and it’ssimultaneously a proposalthrough which we can also beaccomplices to your experiences.

It thus becomes possible to reach,within international anarchistcircles, a level of unity andcoordination that isn’t vague, butessential.

Contact between comradeprisoners at an international leveltransforms solidarity into arevolutionary workshop,revealing the different perceptionsthat shape a joint anarchist actionfront.

The first contact between us willbe capable of creating thepreconditions that open up aninternational dialogue amongprisoners as well as comrades onthe other side of the prisonwalls—a dialogue in which eachperson’s specific perceptions andanalyses can be discussed, therebypromoting coordinated attackingactions against the State. Ofcourse, this doesn’t mean thefusion or the dismissal of differentopinions

Additionally, such differencescannot and must not be obstaclesto reciprocal support.

This is about trying to move fromsympathy, which has developed

among us through letters andshared textual references, tointernational coordination. It’sabout trying to becomeaccomplices, together forming theBlack International of anarchistprisoners and supporting—if sodesired—our Italian comrades’proposal regarding thestrengthening and broadening ofthe Informal Anarchist Federation/ International RevolutionaryFront (FAI / FRI).

The potentialities opened by thiscommitment are enormous, sinceit concerns a process ofintensifying hostilities betweenrevolutionary anarchists and thesystem.

It’s worth imagining the strengthgained by something that, forexample, begins in Chileanprisons, crosses borders, andwinds up in the cells of Greece. Aninternational solidarity campaigncan thus be initiated from prison,just like in the past when it was amatter of supporting comradeGabriel Pombo da Silva.

At the same time, the formation ofan autonomous network ofcommunication among prisonerscreates the appropriatepreconditions for the existence of apermanent flow of informationabout what’s going on in eachprison, the conditions ofimprisonment, upcoming trials,potential sentences, andultimately the preparation of acounterattack plan by comradesoutside prison.

For each sentenced comrade, foreach disciplinary measure, foreach prohibited letter or visit, foreach vindictive transfer: no guard,no embassy, and no police officershould feel safe. When prisonershave the potential to communicatein their hands, there will bedecisive comrades everywhereresponding with action, sabotage,and fire.

We consider the proposal torelease the International Words ofSolidarity with the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire pamphlet to be thefirst step in that direction.

There will certainly be many moresteps to come, but at some pointone must simply begin.

In conclusion, we salute and standbeside—with our thoughts as wellas our hearts—the Chileancomrades charged in theBombings Case and also comradeTamara, who is facing Statepersecution for sending a letter-bomb.

From the prisons of Greece wesend anarchist smoke signals toMónica Caballero, Andrea Urzúa,El Viejo Loco, and the rest of thecomrades charged in theBombings Case; Gabriel Pombo daSilva; Thomas Meyer-Falk; MarcoCamenisch; Silvia, Billy, andCosta; Braulio Arturo; WalterBond; Villarroel and Fuentevilla;Thomas Black and the Englishantifascists; the imprisoned Italianinsurrectionists; the Russians andBelarusians; the Danes; and allthose we’ve forgotten or whosenames we simply don’t know butwant to know, because all of ushave together chosen to sailagainst our epoch, using anarchyas our compass.

The following excerpt is dedicatedto us all:

One day of prison. Two days of prison.Three days of prison. A month of prison.

The door closes and opens, then closesand opens again. Three months ofprison. A year of prison. I need to knowif others are thinking about me as muchas I’m thinking about them. The dayscan’t go by fast enough now. Four-hundred-eighty-two days of prison.Four-hundred-eighty-three days ofprison. Four-hundred-eighty . . . I’ve lostcount. Fuck. It’s better that way.Counting is no good in prison. Thearithmetic makes no sense whatsoever.Prison has its own smell. A smell thatgets all over you and follows youaround. I’ll never manage to get it offme. Yesterday marked two calendars inprison. Two fucking years. I don’t getany sleep. I’ve forgotten how to smileand now I can’t dream. “Clink clink” inthe night. They wake me up for a search.Maybe they’ll find the shanks? Seven-hundred-fifty-one days of prison. Areyou satisfied, my dear judges? Pigs.Seven-hundred-fifty-two days of prison,

pigs. Seven-hundred-fifty-three pigs.Coming and going and off I go. Comingand going and off I go. My cell is threemeters by three meters. From the secondfloor window I see 20% of the sky overthe top of the fucking prison wall. Iwalk through the yard like anautomaton. I walk kilometers in a yardmeasuring just a few meters. Boredomand boredom again. Today I vomited upmy very soul. I vomited bars, walls,solitary confinements, years of prison,judicial sentences. I vomited three yearsof prison. I don’t want to countanymore. I completely close my eyes andthink. I think about my comrades, whomthey’re keeping far away from me inother prisons. I think about fires on theprison roofs. I think about everythingprison has tried to make me forget. Ithink about a smile, a caress, a journeythat doesn’t end over there where thewall ends, a glance that isn’t trappedbehind the fucking prison bars. I stopthinking. I open my hand. I look at themetal file I have. Now I know. I knowexactly what I have to do. Let’s go then,once again. This time with feeling. Untilthe end. Long live Anarchy.

A Contribution fromGabriel Pombo daSilva for the CCF/FAI

Dear brothers and sisters:To Michalis and Christos (whoexuberantly burst into “my” cell,destroying the ISOLATION I’velived in for over seven years), theirbrothers and sisters, and all theother comrades who constitutethe first generation of theRevolutionary OrganizationConspiracy of Cells of Fire /Informal Anarchist Federation.

My eyes and my heart havealways been very close to you inGreece. I still remember NikosMaziotis’ action and his attitude infront of the court. That moved andaffected us very much, to the pointthat some of my comrades tooktheir own action by sending apackage-bomb to the Greekembassy in Madrid.

Those comrades of mine werearrested in September 2003, andthe blow came at the worstpossible time. Really, it couldn’thave been worse. Back then I wasregularly “on leave” from prison.Regardless of all the racketregarding my judicial/prisonsituation, I had already “served”the maximum sentence allowed atthe time: 20 YEARS.And out of those 20, 14 were insolitary confinement and FIES[Spanish isolation units - “prison withinprison”]. I don’t have to tell youwhat it meant to me to have tolose so many good comrades who,tired of bearing all kinds ofsystematic torture for decades,decided to leave “by the back door,feet first.”

We followed the patrol car (mysister was driving) to a gasstation. At the gas station, one ofthe border police officersapproached and asked us for ourpassports. José had a forgedSpanish passport (a very goodone) and was called AlfonsoDomínguez Pombo. He could havebeen my sister’s cousin. Then Barthanded over his Belgian passport,as he and my sister were “clean.”

Obviously, José and I were armedand ready to save our skins at anycost. We knew what was waitingfor us.

The border police officer went offwith all our passports and didn’tcome back for 10 or 20 minutes,after which time both officersapproached, passports in hand,while another BGS car suddenlyappeared and parked directlybehind us, sandwiching usbetween the two patrol cars.

The police officers “suggested,” ina “friendly” way, that we get outof our car. Our papers were fine,but now they also wanted tosearch the car, since a car with somany foreigners in it is viewed as“suspicious” in Germany.We got out of the car and thepolice officers immediately begansearching it. José and I both hadour weapons on us. His was in asmall backpack and mine was inone of those fanny packs thattourists often carry. After morethan a half-hour of searching, anofficer approached José and askedhim to put his backpack in thetrunk of one of the patrol cars.Since José didn’t understand whathe was saying, the officer askedme. There were no longer anymore “conversationalalternatives.” The time had comefor me to simply tell José: “Yougrab this one and I’ll go for theother one.”

Despite all the tension, it wasdefinitely a relief to finally put anend to that comedy. Gun in hand,taking the initiative, I reallybelieved we would succeed. José’spolice officer took off when Josépointed his Ravachol-era revolverat him, and that image of José

mean comrades ready to take uparms in order to expropriatefunds, hijack a helicopter, breakout other compas, etc.

My proposal to liberate our compawas supported by José, and lateron two other anarchists joined theendeavor.

We decided that the first thing weneeded was money (we alreadyhad two handguns), and to thatend we robbed a bank. If Iremember correctly, weexpropriated 40,000 or 50,000euros, which was useful to us atthe beginning for the acquisition ofcars, electronic gear, etc.

Over the course of several months(and to the extent that it waspossible for me), I was able toattend a number of meetings withinternationalist comrades. Thosemeetings between comrades,where positions and approacheswere clarified through critiqueand analysis, deserve all myrespect, yet they left me feelingvery uneasy. Perhaps I had poorly“digested” the analyses of the“Italian insurrectionaries.”Perhaps I hadn’t stopped to thinkabout the importance of knowingjust how many comrades weretruly for revolutionary anarchy.And perhaps our “adventure” offreedom and “glory” was doomedto “failure” from the start.

At that time, some communiquésfrom the newly-formed InformalAnarchist Federation fell into myhands. For someone like me, whocame out of the Anarchist BlackCross (and was therefore alreadyfederalist and anarchist), thenotion of “informal groups”opened up a world of possibility.In Northern Europe,insurrectionary ideas werepractically unknown.

On June 28, 2004, three anarchistsand my sister (who is apolitical)were traveling to Germany in aBMW. At noon, upon entering thecity of Aachen, a Federal BorderGuard (BGS) patrol car pulled upin front of us and signaled for us tofollow it.

The arrest of my comrades inBarcelona left me shaken. I couldhave been with them! The “death”of Paco Ortiz, the coming to powerof the neo-Francoist People’sParty—all these things wentthrough my head before I decidedto make a getaway. My escapebegan by putting one foot in frontof the other. The first thing was toget a bit of distance behind me.With that done, I crossed thePyrenees, destination unknown.

Once abroad, I got in touch withsome old comrades. I managed tobuy myself perfect identification(with which I was even able toopen a checking account at a bank,rent an apartment, etc.), and I tooksome time to think, meet newcomrades, and discuss things.From that moment on I wasknown as Michele Cataldi, Italiancitizen.

I had decided to break out one ofthe compas arrested in Barcelona,and for that task I needed reliable,experienced comrades.

Luck was on my side when someIberian Peninsula compas called totell me they were sendingsomeone over. I thought for sure itwould be an “anarchist” comrade,yet nevertheless I saw Josepi showup (he had also escaped while “onleave”), and he knew absolutelynothing about anarchy or theory.However, I was almost happier tohave a “criminal” on my side thanan “anarchist.” At the end of theday, the endeavor and purposemotivating me was to break acompa out of prison, and I neededsomeone by my side who hatedthe institution of prison withabsolute intensity, like I did.Josepi, with his (in total) 23 yearsof prison behind him, was an idealcandidate. In addition (and justlike me), his “trade” was robbingbanks, which is of course alwaysindispensable. Back then, I didn’tknow which (or how many, as Ibelieved/assumed that a largeportion of the Libertarian Youthhad gone underground) IberianPeninsula comrades I could counton. I’m not talking about mattersregarding “solidarity funds” or“ideological debates.” Rather, I

running after a German borderpolice officer, telling him to“surrender” and put his “handsup,” is something that makes mecrack up even today.

Unfortunately, Josémisinterpreted” what I said.When I told him to “grab” thepolice officer, I meant exactly that:to grab hold of him. But in anycase, “my” police officer and theother ones ran from me as well, soI was unable to grab them. Andwhat worried me most during thewhole situation was my sister.How was I going to tell my motherabout all this? My sister remainedvery still throughout, and if shehad wanted to (to save her ownskin), she could have told thepolice my name and blamed mefor everything. The policeunfortunately had us surrounded,and the only thing that occurredto us at the time was to “kidnap”two “citizens” in order to shieldourselves. You already know therest. . . .

My sister (despite what’s beensaid) refused to “collaborate” orgive a statement. She was evenmistreated at the police stationbecause of her refusal to let themtake her fingerprints or herphotograph. Her prints, as well asher DNA and her photo, weretaken by force. I was very proud ofmy sister and the rest of mycomrades.

I waited (in vain) for our IberianPeninsula comrades to “avenge”us, as well as for them to defenddirect action as a revolutionarymethodology.

By one of life’s coincidences, a briefanalysis by my old comradesappeared in issue 2 of Infernomagazine, more than seven yearsafter our arrest here. But did thatarticle explain why José and Iwere left alone, “abandoned” bythe Iberian movement? I don’twant to “argue” or “settle scores.”I just want to write about ourexperiences in order to record andexpand our rebellious, subversivememory.

What you have achieved is part ofwhat I and others dreamed of.

More than dreamed of, actually.You’ve dared to defy politicalresignation. As my comradesaptly wrote in their text, we werethe “pioneers of Iberianinsurrectionism.” It doesn’t makesense to ask (yet neverthelessthat’s what has constantly beendone since our arrest) if Iberianinsurrectionism would have comeabout back then had some of usmet and had other little thingsbeen encouraged.

But it is interesting to ask—sincepart of our past is becomingknown bit by bit, and since ourdream of an Informal AnarchistFederation/InternationalRevolutionary Front is graduallyspreading—if our IberianPeninsula counterparts will nowremain mired in the anonymousmultitudes or instead join therevolutionary effort.

Just like you, I have alwaysbelieved that rebellion is apermanent process that doesn’tstop for courts or jailers. Thecertainty of our convictions andour love of freedom embolden us.We may be “naive” for believingourselves capable of taking our“destiny” into our own hands, butthat will always be preferable tojoining the chorus of naysayersand complainers.

The courts have been and are sitesof power where anarchists don’t“defend” ourselves with judicialarguments, but instead base our“defense” on the ideas and valuesthat have led us to the defendant’sdock.

Prisons are the ideal settings inwhich to spread anarchist ideasand values. They are theuniversities where we get degreesin all the arts and trades ofillegality.

Comrade prisoners, fugitives, etc.:the spread of our ideas, memories,and histories is the compass thatguides our footsteps.

I don’t know if this writing is inkeeping with what you expectfrom contributions for yoursecond trial. Perhaps I shouldhave touched a bit more on

theoretical aspects (about whichwe still have much to discuss), butI’m convinced that we will haveopportunities to talk/write moreabout that and many other things.What’s important is that we seek adirect relationship between us, theprisoners (in that sense, I’mhaving serious problems withcorrespondence), and that we findmore like-minded people amongus with whom to exchange ideas,information, etc.

We won’t be in prison for ourentire lives. And as you correctlysay in some of your writings: “thepower of the jailers ends outsidethe walls.” As far as José and I areconcerned, we are awaiting ourdeportation to the Spanish state.There (in Spain), according to theirlaws, we should be releasedshortly.

For me, Germany is a chapter inmy life that is best forgotten.Never in my life have I seenprisoners more disgraceful, moredisposed to snitch and kiss ass,than those I have had thedispleasure to meet here. I haven’tlacked desire or idealism. WhatI’ve lacked is contact with peoplewho have a minimum of dignity—oppositional, rebellious people.That fact has isolated me more(and of course hurt me more) thanthe institution itself.

In seven years in this country, Ihaven’t managed (and/or wanted)to create any kind of regular linkor communication with peoplefrom the “radical left.” I haven’twanted to “tone down” mydiscourse in order to be“accepted” by the “radicalcommunity.” Quite often, whilereading the “leftist” (includinganarchist) newsletters, fanzines,and magazines that “report” on us(the “Aachen four”), I get theimpression that my only “merit”as an “anarchist” is my past of“prison struggle,” which ignores(consciously or unconsciously) theintensive revolutionary work andeffort I’ve undertaken while “free.”Likewise, my political writingsand texts have been met witheither censorship or disinterest.

9

But I’m now writing about all thatin my new book, which is takingmuch more work than Ipreviously thought, especially thepolitical section. Before beginningto write about my/our recent pastas well as its consequences (foreach one of us), it was essential tome that my comrades be free tosend me “signals.” Perhapscommunication will be reopenedby those “signals.” And perhapsall of us will then have theopportunity to write a newchapter in the history of Iberiananarchism—one more streamflowing into the wide-openanarchic sea, now that the groundis fertile and the world is falling topieces.

We did what we could, and wewill keep doing what we can. Let’shope that each new generation ofthe Conspiracy of Cells of Fire/Iberian Anarchist Federation isinfinitely better, more dynamic,and more effective than we havebeen. Regardless of my total ofover 27 years imprisoned in theSpanish and German states, aswell as my being uncertain of theday of my release, I am absolutelypositive that I have nothing toapologize for. I only regret notbeing wiser and more adept at themoment of my intersection withthe course of history.

With these words that break myisolation, cross borders, andarrive in the hearts of all ourpeople in Greece and throughoutthe world, I embrace our brothersand sisters in the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire /Informal AnarchistFederation.

Long live the Informal AnarchistFederation/International RevolutionaryFront! Long live the RevolutionaryOrganization - Conspiracy of Cells ofFire / Informal Anarchist Federation!Long live anarchy!

Gabriel,Aachen, early October 2011

Gabriel’s background:From the age of 15 he began toexpropriate banks with his closestcompanions (anarchists,insubordinates, communists etc.).

In his first robbery he was thedriver. For these illegal acts hewas imprisoned in Spain wherehe became an anarchist. He doesnot identify himself as a“prisoner” let alone as a “socialprisoner”. He spent so much timein prison because of hisinsubordination and his escapeattempt with Xose TarioGonzales, who was his very closefriend. In 2004 and after Gabrielhad served the ¾ of his sentencehe manages to get permits. In oneof these he flees to Germanylooking for close companions toorganize an escape to get out ofprison one Spanish comrade ofhis. During a typical cop controlwith two other companions andhis sister they escaped the copsand opened fire against them.None was injured but the cops carwere damaged.

Gabriel was convicted for“attempted murder” and“kidnapping” (because they took“hostages”, (a couple which theylater left ina field, something thatobviously was not designed butwas a spontaneous act during thechase). He was also ordered to payall the damages they caused to thepolice cars.

Gabriel has served more than 24in prison, 14 of which have beenin isolation. He is just 40 yearsold. He is currently preparing hissecond book, something like anautobiography. His first one,“Diaries and thoughts of aDelinquent”, which he wrote moreto provide incentives forcomrades to mobilize, will bereleased in Greek in the nearfuture from the BlackInternational Editions.

Spain: Juan CarlosRico Rodríguezexpresses solidaritywith the imprisonedmembers of the CCF Greetings to all, comrades.My name is JUAN CARLOS RICORODRÍGUEZ and with these lines Iwant to express my support andsolidarity with the comrades ofthe CCF, who will be put on trialsoon by the puppet-state ofGreece. To them I send all mysympathy, first of all because theyare coherent to their line of actionand thought, and they actconsequently, especially as thisline is part of an anarchist vision.If we want anarchy and considerit as THE BEST AND MORE JUSTFORM OF SOCIALORGANIZATION IN ALL FIELDSOF LIFE, it will only come throughviolent and direct struggle,without ambiguities and on alllevels, against the noose of thedecrepit Nation-States thatare gnawing us collectively andindividually all over the planet;and through revolt against all thestructures of dominion.

The “old powers”, instituted andestablished in privilege anddomination, will never stop toexercise their instances unless astrong awareness of Struggle,turned into concrete struggle,effective and direct, opposes themwith determination.

The secular violence we are beinginflicted from the base of thisfraudulent and harmful System ona global level by the Nation-Statesmust be fought against withviolence and above all with REALsolidarty between us: we have noother road to take. We mustSHOW them that the crime of thisState, impunity, no longer exists.They must PAY DEARLY for theiruse of violence, they won’t getaway with their aberration. Irepeat, my name is JUAN CARLOSRICO RODRÍGUEZ, I’m 44 and I’vebeen inflicted the violence andTORTURE of the State since I wasa child. I only spent 7 years of my

10

life in freedom, the rest I spent in“institutes of punishment”(orphanages, juvenile prisons,police stations and jails). At themoment, I’ve been locked up in the“democratic” prisons of theSpanish State for 13 yearsnonstop.

During all this period and facingthis state of things, I’ve seen noreason why this EXISTENCEimposed by pure State violence,has to be rationalized... fire to it!

Solidarity with the comrades ofthe CCF who are in prison: anaction of attack on the “order”that is killing us is worth morethan a thousand speeches.

Juan Carlos Rico RodríguezSeptember 28 2011, prison of Zuera,isolation unit.

Juan Carlos’ background:We do not know the exact historyof comrade Juan Carlos RicoRodriguez. Born in 1967, he spentonly 7 years of his life “free”. Hehas spent the rest of his life inpenitentiary facilities(psychiatrichospitals, reform schools, policestations, prisons). We don’t knowthe categories of hisimprisonment. He is a “socialprisoner” (like Gabriel Pombo daSilva or Xose Tarrio Gonzalez)who was politicalized in prison.He is a prisoner in struggle thathas shown his solidarity in manycases (he did it with the anarchistTamara, who is incarcerated inSpain, with the anarchistcomrade Marco Camenischimprisoned in Switzerland, andmany more - in this case, heindicated his solidarity with theimprisoned comrades of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire).For his choices and attitude he iskept in isolation.

Chile:CASO BOMBAS

The next 5 texts are from ourcomrades involved in the ‘bombscase’.

On 14 August 2010 the Chileanpolice directed by prosecutorAlejandro Pena Ceballos, raided17 houses in Santiago andValparaiso. 13 people werearrested and accused of being anetwork of terrorists who areresponsible for a series of bombattacks in Santiago. Later 2 morepeople were captured with theexcuse that explosive residue ontheir clothes was found, and oneperson became a fugitive. Aftermonths of imprisonment, housearrest and 65 days on hungerstrike, 13 of 14 accused of "illegalterrorist organization" wereabsolved from lack of evidence.

Nevertheless, five of theseindividuals were accused not ofillegal terrorist organization butof placing explosive devices andfinancing these actions. Becausewe do not know the identity ofthose signed with pseudonyms, adecision which fully respect, wecan only explain the legal status ofMonica, who had to sign once amonth at the police station andwas threatened with 10 years inprison for an arson attack on achurch that took place onSeptember 21, 2009.

In the last hearing of their courton June 1, 2012, all the comradeswere acquitted. All the categorieswere dismissed and all therestrictions against the five

Chile: Letter fromDiego Morales

Greetings comrades:

Nikolopoulos and HarisHatzimichelakis, it made me veryhappy to know of the intentions ofyour letter. I return your greetingswith great passion and hope thatthe idea comes about in some wayand that distance is not anobstacle to good communicationbetween us.

Persecuted and involved in a casethat is quite like a show-trial, interms of this country’s media, Ican say that the government’sdesperate intention to give thewhereabouts of the real comrades

comrades were lifted, that meansthat the court ordered theirunconditional release.

Comrade Diego Morales is one ofthe 14 partners initially arrestedand jailed initially for this casebut acquitted of the accusationsand was not referred to court.

Mónika Caballero“Once more.”A letter to the CCF

Once more...Reach Out to the comrades...A clenched fist to the enemy...

Comrades of the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire organization I write toyou within hours of starting the“bombs case” trial, a bad copy ofthe “Cervantes Case.”Power and its minions try toconvict for the placing of anincendiary device in a church, forthis reason I risk a sentence of 5 to20 years of effective penalty, thatwithin the framework of the anti-terrorism law. The fire of thewitch hunt is being prepared.

Until August 14th 2010, I lived insquat house la Krota, where therewas an anarchist library (this wasa feast for the police that foul day),my beautiful home became one ofthe “power centers” of the pros-ecution, one of the foundations ofthe failed terrorist conspiracythesis … what an insult to whomwho spit on the exercises of thepowerful. The inhabitants of thisplace openly propagated anti-authoritarian ideas, which thestate fears. My detention (whichlasted 9 months in prison and 3months of house arrest) did nottake me by surprise, the massmedia were laying the foundationfor several months before, thecrudeness of it just amazes me. Iexpected more from the “policeintelligence”, but against me thereis no direct evidence of my partici-pation in this or any attack thereis only an accusation of ideas, thisis not to hang on to the legality orto defend my innocence, theanarchist task cannot be other-wise than illegal.

that carry out direct actionresulted in the truly tragicomicpolitical persecution of peopleopenly declaring themselves asanarchist and afterwards of alarge and extenuated wait of morethan 8 months – for some inprison, others with preventativemeasures – for the 4th of October,when dismissal was given to the14 accused of terrorist associationand the total dismissal of the trialfor 9, while the other 5 comrades(Fráncico, Mónica, Felipe, Omarand Carlos) face trial for placingexplosive devices and others forfinancing. From the legal point ofview and the likely scenario thepossibilities of a good ruling forall are positive – the lawyers havehigh hopes.

I tell you also that there has beena mobilization of the studentmovement now for nearly 6months, in which no accord hasbeen reached due to theintransigence of the government.As a result of this they’re pushingthrough laws intended to severelypenalise the struggle on thestreets, looting and occupations,and the sentences for all thosestanding up to the establishedorder (police, private property)have intensified harshly.This results in several peoplelocked up awaiting severejudgements for carrying molotovsor attacking the police.

On the 11th of September afteranother anniversary of themilitary coup, and after heavyconfrontations between policeand ‘encapuchados’ [street-fighters] , avegan anarchist comrade(following media persecution)was accused of attacking a copand imprisoned in the maximum-security section of the high-security prison of Santiago – inwhich there is the risk of veryhigh sentences. Asyou well know, the tension inChile as in Greece and many partsof the world has intensified, wehope that the declared social waris felt and fought by everyone inthe streets…

Forgive me for the delay in myreply to your letter, it arrived

only a short time ago. I hope it isnot too late to give you all mysupport and strength for the trialyou have before you. Theirthousands of years in jail couldnever dispel the authentic desireto attain freedom. For me, weare already free people, inthought, in spirit: but there is stillmuch for us to achieve.

Obviously power will never bekind to anyone that openlydeclares that its disgustingsystem is rotten in every way.They will receive from it neithergood deals nor light sentences.They will fall on us with all theweight of their fear on seeing thatthe possibilities of the destructionof their beloved progress are seenin the destabilizing actions of amountain of filthy subversivesand that these disgusting rebelscould actually be right in thereality they seek – a worldwithout authority, property,judges, police, nor governments.

The strongest embrace from thedepth of my stomach for all ofyou. I hope that my words helpyou in some way, even if it is tolose yourselves for a couple ofminutes in these cold cells ofhuman extermination. Withouteven meeting you, I love you likeall my comrades in Chile and theworld that dare to fight againstthis armed and terrible reality…

I hope that Haris’ health is bettereach day and that his body resiststhat which his mind will liveforever…

HEALTH – PUNK AND LONGLIVE ANARCHY!!!

Diego MoralesEx-accused for the “caso bombas”Santaigo, $hileNovember 2011

Every hour sitting on the bench ofthe accused I feel dirty from beingpart of this democratic process, Ihave nothing to prove to anycourt the only opinion that mat-ters to me is my accomplices in thecrime of fighting for freedom andanarchy. They want me in jail fornot kissing the cross, repentancefor not lowering my head beforethem. The outlook is vague, theymay achieve imprisoning mybody or perhaps in the nearfuture, dissidents of capital have abooked ticket to jail, those are thecosts of wanting to expropriateour lives from the executioners ofthe lovers of order.

I am a sister to you without everexchanging a word, every daythat capital takes away from youdoesn’t go unnoticed, I know whatthe loneliness of a cold cell is, therage that dries the mouth to seethe door close and to hate everymorning you see that guard.Solidarity to me isn’t a pity or“humanitarian” exercise, its a toolof anti-authoritarian struggle, Ican not live anymore in capital’ssocial peace, it hurts me andmakes me restless to see more intheir cages, wether they speak ornot the same language, whether ornot they’re the same species, havetail, feet or feathers.

Comrades you have been a won-derful contribution to the dissemi-nation of revolutionary nihilistand anarchist ideas, keep it up,your letters are always a pleasureto read. Today I can enjoy a skywithout bars, the touch of the skinof a comrade, walk the streets ofthis lifeless town, in a couple ofweeks… Who knows?

And finally for you dear persecu-tors who analyze each commawith a myriad of specialists tobuild a new process, I hope youfind it, your masters will beproud. War against all forms ofdomination. Sedition and revolt!!

Long live the Conspiracy of Cells ofFire, may they spread across the globe!May the jailers, judges, prosecutors andbutchers tremble, fire to the prisons andslaughterhouses!In the struggle for the destruction ofauthority no one is alone!

Prisoners of war to the streets! DiegoRios, Gabriela Curilem flee away fromcameras and uniforms!

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!!!

Mónika CaballeroAnarchistAccused in the bombs caseSantiago, Chile

Letter to CCF fromone of the accusedin the “CasoBombas”

From the distance, words arrivetranslated in the only language weall understand: that of the strugglefor freedom. It does not transformany fear, person, name or sign intoa fetish; in the anti-authoritarianlanguage that possibility simplydoes not exist, much less those ofleaders, professionals or authori-ties.

Today, for the moment, I no longersee the grey of the cement sur-rounding everything in thosetombs, but that doesn’t mean thatforgetting clouds my mind. Thejails, the cells, the jailers and theprisoners remain there… somemeters or kilometers away.

Because the prisons here may verymuch resemble those there,because the sound of the bars andlocks must not be very different,however the internal conditionsand regimens may vary, FIES(Spain), F-TYPE (Turkey), Maxi-mum Security Units (Chile) sharea common structure and objective.Without a doubt the oppressorslearn from each other.

Solidarity between imprisonedcomrades–between them throughthe cells, modules, prohibitions,prisons, borders–is the urgencyunleashed by the daily and per-manent repression.

THROUGH THE WALLS

Rarely do the hoods go up, rarelyare barricades or confrontationsseen like in the streets, riots arescarce (perhaps the most commonconfrontation is between theprisoners themselves, encouragedand welcomed by the guards).

The confrontation is routine, daily,minute by minute, the spaces andpositions battle constantly, some-times symbolically and othertimes in far too real of a way. Toreject a prohibition, to break somedisciplinary code, to keep commu-nications out of the jailer’s sight,to maintain dignity in socialrelations. But this exercise of dailyrevolt, replete with dignity andrebellion that enriches the spirit,also carries a cost, the arrival ofrepression–threats, delays inopening the cells, hampering thereceipt of letters, beatings, isola-tion, transfers, more threats,segregation, restrictions, prohibi-tions, or hardening of discipline–these are a small sample of thecarceral terrorism.

In the prison, perhaps moreexplicitly than in the street, theattitudes of prisoners and jailersmark a confrontation of positionswithin the prison. To not try toimprove them, to not try to obtainbenefits, to travel by the road ofrebellious dignity wherever wemay be, to strive to be able to lookin the mirror the next day and notsee slaves, to not support nor beardomestication.

To the comrades who have man-aged to avoid this undesirablefate, to the fugitives who have hadto choose on the basis of thejudgments of power and the arrestwarrants issued for them. Evenwhen not passing through thegloomy halls of the prisons or thelabyrinths of justice, your path isnot exactly more comfortable, andit is to form among the gaze ofpossible informants, the suspi-cious passage of police patrols andthe constant reinvention of one-self. Comrades of different places,familiar or not, in your path of theunknown, you are not alone.

Letter to the CCFfrom another one ofthe “Caso Bombas”

The daily uncertainty and thethreat of a possible revenge ofpower against our bodies vanishwhen reading the words of anti-authoritarian solidarity that arenow captive in the dungeons ofthe Greek state. Words who underno point of view whatsoeverencounter themselves subjected,rebels against the jailers and allforms of authority, words that aretransgressive action againstoppression.

As has been stated repeatedly,solidarity is not just wordswritten between anarchists andyou have demonstrated it con-cretely, understanding that thestruggle for freedom is universal,practicing and supporting theinternational revolt steadily,making the enemy see that ourdignity is real and represents apermanent threat to this worldand those who try to perpetuateit. Anti-prison struggle in andoutside prisons is the samewhether in Chile, Greece, Indone-sia or Mexico. The enemy and itsprinciples are common so it isnecessary to share experiences ofoffensive resistance to enable us toadvance in the construction ofnew adversarial relationships topower, thus creating a fraternalgreeting to the FAI / IRF as a bodythat promotes the anti-authoritar-ian thought and practice and,permitting us to recognize ourbrothers throughout the worldwithout ever having seen the face.

Having spent 9 months behindbars my energy stays in solidaritywith the prisoners, knowing that Irisk years in prison in high-security measures only increasesmy contempt for these deathcenters and their guardians, theonly alternative for these places istheir utter destruction and there-fore there must be non-stop work,always forward.

All the strength and drive to theprisoners from the CCF, yourattitude fills all anarchists andanti-authoritarians with prideand as you say it is very likelythat someday we will find our-selves anyplace in the world toshare and practice experiences.

Another Accused in the Bombs CaseIn pending Political Trial

Letter to the CCFfrom a nihilistaccused in the“Caso Bombas”

Greetings brothers and sisters of theCCF, and to Theofilos Mavropoulos, Isend you a fraternal embrace full ofaffection and complicity across thedistance…

It is certain that we are judged bysome for being anarchists, theeternal enemies of power, and thatit is our theory made practice forlong years that they now intend toseverely punish.

Your voice has reached my heart,those sincere words full ofsolidarity caress my face, thatstrength animates me and yourconviction I love; knowing thatbehind those bars there are notgroans of sorrow, but ratherscreams of hatred, rage, hope —this gladdens me and makes mereaffirm that we are on the rightpath; it is then that I realize thateach day new comrades are bornwho return to give sense to ournew urban guerrilla, which is nolonger merely local but isinternational, thanks in great partto the FAI and the contribution by

communication of shouts betweendifferent regions across the lengthof the territories cannot wait foreven one second.

Across the distance. Indifferencewill not be precisely the sensationthat is felt during the rituals ofpunishment that the judicialpower practices against thosewho oppose them. The trials arenot mere procedures–in additionto being courts they are spaceswhere power lets itself be seenwith brutality, where it foundsand tries to validate and legiti-mate its order, its world. It is inthese trials where, in addition tosolidarity with those comradeswho they seek to stone to death, itis possible to disseminate andproject a complete critique of thefabric of justice, of the legitimacyof their order and the cruel argu-ments they use to defend theirpower. The brutality of yourspecial treatment is fertile groundto expand the total critique of theirworld, it is a continual opportu-nity that we cannot let pass.

Imprisoned comrades of the CCF,scattered in the different prisonsof the Greek territory, which tryunsuccessfully to submit you tothe carceral rhythm: PanagiotisArgyrou, Michalis Nikolopoulos,Giorgos Nikolopoulos,Gerasimos Tsakalo, ChristosTsakalos, Giorgos Polydoros,Damianos Bolano, HarisHadjimichelakis, OlgaOikonomidou — indomitable andinsubordinate spirits will notappease themselves to a couple ofbars, cameras and guards. Norcan their sacrificial rituals in thecourts counter the struggle forfreedom–even further, theseintentions to punish justify onceand a thousand times the reasonto oppose their world. To each ofyou, a huge embrace full ofstrength for times to come.

In these lands, November 28th,2011 will bring the political trialbased on lies and inventions withthe single end of criminalizing andimprisoning those who expressour total rupture with theirvalues and moral codes.

Political prisoners, prisoners ofwar, revolutionary prisoners… astrong, sincere and honest em-brace to each of you–whatever ourdifferences, the affection forcaptive revolutionaries remainsimmune.

With the steadfast memory of allwho have fallen! Mauricio Mo-rales, Claudia Lopez, JohnnyCariqueo, Lambros Foundas

you the CCF. Moreover I considerimportant the contribution thatyou are making in the circleslinked to anarchist individualism,and our new and beautifulNihilism.

We feel the same hatred towardthe state, the same total disregardtowards the new happy slave,towards the stupid mass that letsitself be led, we feel the sameimpotence of not being able todemolish the exterminationcenters that hold us captive, wefeel multiple orgasms when wedeliver ourselves completely tothe realization of anarchy…

We are far away, but from here thedistance is nothing, we are surethat sooner than later we will findeach other whether in Greece,Italy, Chile or Mexico; ourinsurrectionalist-Nihilistinternational has battle camps inthe streets of the entire world andthere will always be space forindividuals who understand thatanarchy is not a cheap ideologybut rather an idea that lives andconceives itself in direct action,because we know that the damnedpowerful will not give up theirprivileges and will defend them tothe end of their dirty lives…It is for this reason that we mustcommunicate the importance ofthe threat of our new nihilism, it isfor this reason that we have toaccept that in order to triumphwith our idea, we must drown theenemy in blood, and so with oursharp knives we will continueadvancing toward the encounterwith chaos, toward the creativenothing, and we will throwourselves naked into thatbeautiful abyss where there iscomplete individual freedom…

I endorse the FAI-IRF.The Informal Anarchist Federation– International RevolutionaryFront that is doubtless the BlackInternational of the anarchists ofaction, since it has shown itscapacity to respond in the face ofthe challenges that are emergingaround the world…

But your call is not only for thosewho are in the bombs case, but

rather has passed also to our dearbrother Luciano, to whom ourgreatest homage will be to givehim the harvest of actions that werealize with our hands…

You have also dedicated words toour brother Cristóbal Bravo, whowas recently beaten by paidcowards, and it is here that itbecomes important to shoutloudly that the attack on propertyis not sufficient, which ourRussian nihilist comradesunderstood very well and showedus that we must go further,without fear of disaster, it is yourlives or ours or that of somecomrade in prison, for now theimpunity of that deed strikes mehard in the heart; they say thatrevenge is a plate best served cold,they also say that vengeance killsthe soul and poisons you, I believestrongly that vengeance is thedessert in a meal for a nihilist,therefore one must not wait forfacts before acting, and the maincourse will be to take the offensivesince there are stupid cowards onall sides…

Comrades, my most heartfeltrespect to your organization CCFand for the revolutionaryanarchist Theofilos Mavropoulos,for all your contribution to theanarchic struggle and all thedignity that has been shownduring your trial and your time inprison, I want to tell you that asgreat as those walls may be theycannot hide the enormous dignityand the great courage that youhave shown to us the anarchists ofthe entire world.

Today you raise your fist, yelling“SOLIDARITY” in theinternational language of anarchy.And at the same time, with theother hand you hold firmly theknife of nihilism to sink it into thebowels of this world of Power andsubmission, well good; I from heresend you all strength and energythat you may never wane! Andknow that nothing can separateus, we have begun aninternational anarchist offensiveand we will not stop until we getto see the total end of all authority,of all society, of all gods, of all

morals…

I take with my two hands, firmlyand without hesitation, your knifeof nihilism so that together wesink it into the heart of everytyrant, of every cop, of every jailer,of every bourgeois so that upontheir corpses we can dance, laugh,fuck, enjoy and conquer once andfor all our total freedom!The death of our brother MauricioMorales and the death of comradeLambros Fountas, the loss ofLuciano‘s hand and the loss ofSimos Seisidis‘s wounded leg arean eternal call to fight, noanarchist wounded or killed incombat will be forgotten, it is thehour to thrust our dagger into theheart of the capitalist beast, theyare our nourishment.

HONOR TO THE COMRADELAMBROS FOUNTAS!HONOR TO THE BANK ROBBERCOMRADE HORST FANTAZZINI!

Chile: GonzaloZapata and CristobalBravo

The next two letters correspond toGonzalo Zapata (Russio) andCristobal Bravo (Mono). The twocompanions were arrested ondifferent dates but have the samecharges: participation in anattack made against José InostrozaCrisosto, a cop who has theposition of sergeant in the secondsection in Montada duringepisodes of September 11, 2011, onthe 38th anniversary of the

15

military coup that began thedictatorship in Chile, which lasted17 years.

Both were recognized by thecollaboration of a photographicagency called 'Agencia Uno',which gave the cops the photosthey took from a very privilegedposition. During theirimprisonment they had a commonattitude in prison, the samecomplicity and solidarity betweenthem, each time one of them took ablow from jailers. After about 3months imprisonment on 28November 2011 they came outwith restrictive conditions,curfew and impelled to presentthemselves at the public orderministry once a week. But on 5January 2012, they returned toprison because prosecutors madean appeal.

At court both comrades thensought to prove that the cop hitwas not as bad as claimedregarding his injuries, since manyof the injuries were because theidiot fell off his horse. The courtruled that both comrades bereleased with restrictiveconditions such as not to leaveChile. In legal terms, things arevery positive and likely that thecomrades will get very lowsentences.

LetterfromGonzaloZapata

My arrestwas onTuesdaySeptember 27at 9 am,wheremembers ofthe DIPOLCAR (Carabineros de$hile) entered my home with asearch warrant, the order gavethem the power for 15 policemento lay seige to my home, while 5others searched my room andtook as evidence anything found,such as notebook, cell phone,

books, pamphlets. After all thisapparatus, I was taken to thehealth centre, which was a shortprocess between the police andthe doctor.

Soon after I was in the dungeon ofa police station in the district ofRecoleta, where I remainedsequestered only for the dirty anddisgusting spectacle of thebourgeois press, which did nothesitate to point me out to beguilty of a direct attack on arepressor - a Carabineros officerof $hile.

In court, waiting for my audienceI suffered constant harassmentand threats from the guards,because they were informed of thereason for my detention. Alreadyin the audience, was thebourgeois press, but I also felt thesupport of family and comradesin the street.

At the end of the hearing and Iremain in custody, because I am adanger to society for my clear lackof respect for “authority”, that isdetermined by the publicprosecutor and the judge.Everything under politicalpressure as clear evidence neverexisted, political pressure, say, of anew witch hunt against anarchistcomrades, to try everythingpossible to stop the days of streetfighting and awareness of theproletarian class. In prison, I sawthe inhumane treatment of theguards, the mistreatment andtorture these bastards cause, thefit of the dignity to mealtimes andsleeping at the time in the cell.

Continuing to be imprisoned fromOctober 17, I am kidnapped in thedungeons of the capital, refusingthe injunction by false witnessstatements, where it showsclearly the intentions ofexemplary punishments, whichare to cause a decrease in certainsocial movements. The only thingachieved is to give greater force tothe comrades who are stillfighting and also to those who aredeprived of liberty.

Letter to the CCFfrom Mono, anihilist prisoner ofwar

“This is a war and we arewarriors” *

Words in solidarity with the comrades ofthe CCF

Solidarity, a word often used inthis society, from the militaryinterventions disguised ashumanitarian aid, to thedonations in supermarketshopping, to the collaborationbetween good citizens and thepolice, to those who “struggle” toexpand animals’ cages for theirwell-being.

All expressions where Dominationrecuperates and impregnatesevery corner with its logic,removing words’ value andlimiting them to miserablecampaigns so that citizens cansleep with their tranquilconsciences after taking a couple ofsleeping pills. It is the feelings ofinferiority that Dominationwishes to impose as “solidarity,”either as compassion and pity, orsubmission and admiration,where in the first case, someonewho has more than another givessome scraps to alleviate for amoment their misery. This isdriven by the pity one feels for theother who has nothing. And in thesecond case, someone who’sassumed inferior to another whoholds power and authority–collaborates with the latter’s work

16

without having any gain otherthan thanks for helping toperpetuate order.

For me, solidarity is a tool ofstruggle for expressing in differentways support and respectbetween the oppressed who resistand/or confront the managers ofmisery. For me it is a relationbetween known and unknownindividuals who do not seethemselves as superior or inferiorbut as equivalent, where also oftengestures are sent and receivedanonymously with the soleintention of being present andmaking tangible the fact that noone is alone.

This is how I understandsolidarity and this is how I havetaken up deeds ever since I chosethe path of liberation, where it isnecessary to support those whostruggle in different parts of theworld, from within the prisons tooutside of the walls. During thesemonths that I have been incaptivity I have felt the force ofeach gesture, of every one, yourletters and foods, the banners,leaflets and fire.

Before having been on the otherside of the walls, contributinghow I could and wished, but nowthe conviction of which“solidarity” is not a dead wordwill take more force than ever. It isfor this reason that in this letter Iwish to send my greetings to thecomrades who have assumed thepolitical responsibility ofbelonging to the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire and now areincarcerated in different prisons ofthe territory dominated by theGreek State. It is the firm anddignified conviction that you havetaken, from the anonymity of yourattacks and your subsequentclaims, which are a contributionand impulse of struggle that passthrough borders and languages, tothe posture that you haveassumed since you wereincarcerated.

I believe that solidarity betweenprisoners, revolutionaries andsubversives is a potent weapon inthe struggle against the prisons

and their guards, for this reasonthe CCF’s proposition or GabrielPombo da Silva‘s initiative withthe International Hunger Strikeare gestures that seek to interlaceexperiences and relations betweencomrades, so that together, as acontribution to an informal anddiffuse environment, we advancetowards the destruction ofDomination, where each comradewrites their contributions,critiques, experiences andproposals, where no imprisonedcomrade is alone, because if theytouch one of us, they touch all ofus, or as they say in these parts:“no aggression withoutretaliation.”

In the letter that you wrote as aproposition for this pamphlet, youreference that you rejected yourlawyers for various reasons andalthough this also depends onmore factors that are unanswereddue to my distance, it still isanother demonstration of couragein the face of Power and its lawsthat you will be your owndefenders. Here, for my part andthat of other comrades, legaldefense is driven by the “PopularDefender,” who is supported bythe “Legal Picket” (law students),who offer their support as a formof solidarity, visiting prisonersand contributing how they can inthe legal sphere.

To conclude I want to launch twoinitiatives: one concerning thesolidarity campaigns and theother concerning the debate anddevelopment of ideas. The first isthat the dates of the trials againstcomrades around the world bedisseminated in advance, to servein this way to call for solidaritywith each comrade who facestrial.

The second initiative is to debatethe ideas/practices of AnimalLiberation, which have beendeveloped by comrades in Mexico,Switzerland, Italy, Russia, andnow finally in Bolivia and whichon the part of the CCF, onlyDamiano has made reference to inone of his letters. Themes such asecology and anti-technology havealready been established, thus I

believe that the struggle againstanimal exploitation is part of theintegrity of the struggle, in orderto thus point towards totalliberation, bringing an end toevery form of domination.

Fraternal greetings to Christos,Gerasimos, Mihalis, Giorgos N., Haris,Panagiotis, Olga, Giorgos P. andDamiano. Also to the others accused inthis case, especially to Panagiotis M. Toall, my greetings which cross walls andseas to each one of your cages.

Solidarity with all prisoners of war.

Cristobal "Mono" Bravo FrankePrisoner of War, Nihilist tendencyMaximum Security Section –High Security PrisonNovember 2011.

PS. I wish to extend my greetingsto those comrades who contributeto this dialogue that breaks theborders, I refer to those whotranslate letters from and intovarious languages, such as forexample the book Dynamiting theExistent: Reflections onMinoritarian Combat which inthese days of captivity came to myhands, as well as the internet sites(liberaciontotal.lahaine.org,culmine.noblogs.org,actforfree.nostate.net) whichcover the transfers and actionsthat happen in Greece.

* this phrase was shouted from the CSOSacco and Vanzetti after the death ofMauri and when the police tried to enter.The phrase is clear, in this war we arenot soldiers, we are warriors withautonomy and honor, we do notstruggle for medals and/or otherstupidities, but to take back our lives, fortotal liberation at whatever cost.

Words to the CCFfrom combatants inthe High SecurityPrison, Santiago,Chile

Words from Esteban Huiniguir, JuanAliste, Freddy Fuentevilla and JoséMiguel Sánchez for the prisoners of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire.

Note: Comrades of the world!!!From Chile with joy we can nowshare with you the words of theimprisoned comrades José MiguelSánchez, Esteban Huiniguir, JuanAliste and Freddy Fuentevilla,who have responded to thesolidarity call issued from Greeceby the imprisoned comrades of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire.

Our comrades today findthemselves held in the HighSecurity Prison (C.A.S.) inSantiago, Chile and almost all areex-members of Marxist-Leninistpolitical-military organizationswho fought the dictatorship andof whom some have also foughtlater under democracy in the 90sagainst capitalism. These armedorganizations were the ManuelRodríguez Patriotic Front (FPMR),the United Action Movement –Lautaro (MAPU-Lautaro, alsoknown as MJL, Lautaro YouthMovement) and the RevolutionaryLeft Movement (MIR).

Today, our comrades who writedo not necessarily still embraceLeninist ideas, but it is better thatthey speak for themselves.

From Chile, we send all of you asolidarity salute ofinternationalist complicity.

Some in solidarity from outsidethe prisons.

November 2011.

Words fromJuan Aliste

The social war isan issue of class, itis a question of lifethat transcends the obstacles(borders) traced by a commonenemy, capital with its system ofdomination, exploitation,repression and misery at thehands of the power of the rich. Ashostages of the Chilean State andits bourgeois government of thewealthy, from the carceral jaws ofits society, we escape in thelibertarian complicity ofvindicating direct action in theflesh with the fertile idea ofsubversion from individuality toreal collectivity.

History repeats itself and the longexperience of power to submitthose who struggle is transversal,their fascist machinery withsustained methods in repressionin conjunction with police, judgesand media of disinformationexpand fear and terror tolegitimize their prisons, murdersand tortures. Moreover, the Statelies to hide the indomitableheartbeat of our lives, concreteand in-the-flesh proof is thiscomplicity of blood that we allowto strengthen ourselves inadversity, communicating witheach other, knowing each other,hating together the mornings andrescuing the tenderness in eachgesture of action from ourcomrades. So the prison, in itsprisons, is no more than thereaffirmation of all that we abhor,from their courtrooms, murderersof children and sowers of misery.

Dear partners in struggle, with theuncompromising taste to drink*my life, carrying on my back thecertainty that in the face of miserythere is no freedom, I take mybones to light that wick, I saluteyou with the happiness of beingalive, I clench my hand, I sharpenmy sight and the totality of thesenses. May the oxygen from yourproposal be the unstoppableinception of coordination. Tobegin, my greetings, yourthoughts are ours, echos of alibertarian uproar.

Health! While there is misery there willbe rebellion! Combative solidarity withthose who fight!

Words from FreddyFuentevilla Saa

Esteemed comrades of CCF, afraternal embrace full of rebellion.To tell you that we are joined by acommon reality, whether inGreece, Latin America orwhatever corner of the world.Redeemed in these lines is morethan the individual, the collective.The causes for which we areimprisoned, with more or lessnuances, are the same cause, weare rebels, we are subversives,anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists,we are the pueblo-pobre*, we are notvictims, we are not complicit in ahistory without redemption, weare not indolent, we are nevertheir slaves, we are neither guiltynor innocent.

When the State decides toannihilate us, persecute us, andincarcerate us, it is not merecoincidence, but because each oneof us symbolizes danger for anyState. They demonize us withtheir language since it not ourown, the prison is part of theirlanguage, part of the social warand the class war. I must say thatit has affected us to liveimprisonment, not only in thisterritory called Chile, but also inArgentina, and in each prison Ialways saw the same subject, mypueblo-pobre, my class brethren, mybrethren of the trenches; at thesame time, the executioner isalways the same, their police.

18

In the game of what we are andwhat we are not, we make it clearthat we are not victims, we arecombatants, and this is not onlywords, this is what our historyand our present tell us. Thisreality has made us embattled, notby our seeking nor desire, but wemake a mission of our dreams, ourchoice of conscious struggle, theunrenounceable struggle forhappiness.

Brothers and sisters, I send youmy strength, my dignity, mysolidarity. Borders and flags donot exist between peoples,solidarity and internationalismare not only words in the wind,they are a weapon.

“Here nothing is over and no one yields,the struggle continues”

Freddy Fuentevilla Saa,MIRist prisoner.High Security Prison, Santiago,Chile, October 2011

Words from JoséMiguel Sánchez

CELLS OF FIRE COMBATANTSPRESENTE.

From one corner of the world,receive an affectionate andcombative embrace, and afraternal salute from anotherprisoner of capitalism.

From the C.A.S. in $hile we receiveyour communique and we makeourselves part of it. Our thoughtstravel to each prison of the worldwhere they try to annul freethoughts, the enemy will neverquiet nor crush our rebellion, ourvalues are not stopped by

shackles, here our desire ofstruggle is nourished day by day,the injustices and abusesstrengthen our indomitable desireof struggle against the exploitativesystems of the world.

Our growing contempt for prisonsand their henchmen is innate,these bars confirm for us that ourstruggle is just and necessary, webelieve that direct action is aneffective method for striking thesystem that tries to trample ourrights. We are not immobile,behind the walls our struggle isstrengthened and sharpened.

Here we are those who do not sellourselves to power, theintransigents, those who wantnothing to do with the circles ofthe left that sell themselves to thehighest bidder, we are those whodo not believe in flatteringgestures, nor do we conformourselves to the crumbs left overby the powerful. Our goal iscomplete freedom and thevanquishing of the exploitativesystem that sinks and humiliatesour people.

Comrades, receive our solidarityand support, you are not alone,the entire world will be witness tothe dignity with which you faceyour trial, fortitude and struggleis our slogan, strengthcompañeros.

My case is like those of manycombatants, I am an ex-politicalprisoner of Pinochet’sDictatorship, ex-member of theManuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front(FPMR), I was liberated upon theassumption of the pseudo-democracy in 1991, and I wasimprisoned again that same yearfor having some rifles and notbelieving in that made-updemocracy. I was condemned to 20years for the rifles and an assault,of this sentence I’ve spent 17 yearsand 6 months in prison, when as afavor from the prison a break of 2years had me leave, a release Ibroke on not returning to sleep inthe prison. I scorned that “favor”and now I am completing the 2years and 6 months I had left tocomplete my sentence; as you can

see, I have nothing left of thesentence, and I will leave tocontinue to struggle against theoppressive system together withthose who know that nothing haschanged.

My name is José Miguel SánchezJiménez, I am held in the HighSecurity Prison (C.A.S.) in$antiago, $hile, together withother comrades who have stoodup against the prevailing systemsuch as: Juan Aliste, FreddyFuentevilla and MarceloVillarroel, having known eachother since the anti-dictatorialstruggle. I am 52 years of age,married and father of 4 daughters,carpenter and electrician byprofession, and I am anti-system.

I hope to continue receiving yournotices and thus to mutuallystrengthen each other.

To destroy all the prisons andcapitalist systems!

With affection,

Words from EstebanHuiniguir

My name is Esteban Huiniguir R., Iam 41 years old, I was born in1970. I was a militant of theMAPU-Lautaro party. During the90s I was condemned to 11 yearsin prison for “Illicit TerroristAssociation” and the attack on thehome of the ambassador of Spainon October 10, 1992. I completed 8years of this sentence fromOctober 13, 1992 to May, 2000.

19

In 2008 I was detained during theDay of the Youth Combatant onMarch 29. My home, which Ishared with other guys, wasraided, searched as usual but theyonly found 5 plants of CannabisSativa. For this illegal growing Iwas sentenced to 4 and a halfyears for trafficking and illegalgrowing. Presently I serve thesentence in the CAS, module “J.”

Dear comrades, I write to youfrom the CAS sending a fraternalgreeting to all those who in thedistance share histories ofrebellion and insubordination andwho by consequence live in transitin prison. At over 3 years of thismy second sentence, which is 4and a half years, what has beenthe most ignominious for me waswhen I had to face theincomprehension, the socialprejudice of those who do notwant to hear and are driven bythe media’s communicationcampaign. Despite this, I amtogether with my friends andcompanions… I also receive withgreat gratitude the solidarity ofother accomplices who manifest inthe street in this combat againstcapital. Then there are my littlesiblings who gave their youth,their commitment and their life.Norma Vergara, José LuisOyarzun, Andrés Soto (Papi), bigPablo Muñoz… and so manyothers: although you are no longerhere and they do not want tolisten, we are still us and you; forthat, thanks.

I know little about you in thepersonal sense, your lives andhistories, but your presentcondition, your conviction andhow you wanted to confront yourtrial speak very well ofyourselves. Walk with all mysupport, since it is true that thestreet, the trial and the prison aretrenches where one must continuefighting.

I do not have much more to sayright now nor will I pretend agrandiloquent discourse since forme the practice of direct action isnot made with words but bylighting a wick that smells ofbenzine, with black powder, and ifthe moment requires (the prison),

with closed fists utilizing whatthey leave us our body exposed tofatigue and hunger.

So then comrades, come whatmay, say what they will, you willremain proud and exemplary. Itwas good to know that you exist,so far away, with your histories,your slogans, your bottles andblack powder for the social war ofall peoples.

Health and rebellion.

With our fallen in our memory.Not one minute of silence, and a lifetimeof combat.

Esteban Huiniguir R.

Letter for the CCF /FAI from threeinsurrectionalistgroups in LatinAmerica

LONG LIVE THE CONSPIRACYOF CELLS OF FIRE!

Brothers and sisters, a stronginsurrectionalist embrace from across thedistance.

We grow… undoubtedly we growin each moment when we confrontthe enemies face to face, instancesthat are daily marked by theliberatory violence that strikesfear into the oppressor. Violencethat you have vindicated as agenerator of novel momentscapable of jeopardizing thesecurity and intelligence systemsof power. Today you confrontcaptivity with dignity, always atwar with the jailer, betting on thegeneralization of the insurrectionin every corner of the world. Wefrom here, from damned Chile,make ourselves part of thesolidarity call, perceiving it as oneof the cornerstones of ourrevolutionary project.The recognition from yourConspiracy is not the result of thissituation, since for years we havecome to recognize, really and trulyrecognize, by means of action —

we believe that this is the best formof communication that we havebeen able to pursue. From attackswe have made on police stations toyour attacks on embassies andministries, we have been given acloseness full of life, projectualityand hatred toward every type ofauthority. This closeness has beenmarked also by the complicity intransgressive action, marked alsoby the innumerable victories thatwe have had… yes!! Victories.Every realized attack, that hotadrenaline that crosses our bodiesbefore liberation in destructiveaction, the passion of the same act,the joy and happiness of knowingthat for a moment the exploiter sawhis world fall, these constitute ourtriumphs. People like you know ofwhat we speak.

There also are victories in seeing theattacks multiply all over the world,anti-authoritarian attacks thatdespite the repressive blowsremain unscathed, irreduciblesbeing able to fool and continuefooling the enemy; for this andmany more reasons we say: LONGLIVE THE FAI/FRI

We expect that this call forsolidarity will materialize inconcrete actions, and we will do ourpart, at any moment we willharden the surface against thepowerful in your name, brothersand sisters, for you know that anyimprisoned anarchist will bevindicated and avenged whereverthey may be found. We continue tomove without problems, therepressive blows still fall very farfrom us. Our solidarity also goes tothe warrior Luciano Pitronello andto the 5 accused in the media-judicial-policial frame-up “casobombas.” The landslide of thisstupid case will be as loud as thecollapse of this world.

LONG LIVE INSURRECTIONALISTINTERNATIONALISM!

FOR THE MULTIPLICATION ANDQUALIFICATION OF ATTACKSAGAINST THE POWERFUL!

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

Words of Solidaritywith CCF from somemembers of RussianEarth LiberationFront / FAI-IRFSo many of us captured, throwninto prisons, tortured, woundedor even dead. It’s getting more andmore difficult to mention everycomrade in each communique. Yetthey are all worth mentioning,they shouldn’t fade into obscurityof silence of prison cells. Nameswhirl in the head… People we’venever known, but their dedicationand sacrifice for the cause reso-nates with our worldview, withour own cause. And faces offriends we’ll never see again. Dead,murdered by the System. Is iteverywhere like this? Are we allalone in this hostile world? Arethere other mutineers, saboteurs,discontent? How do we get intouch with all this censorship?

How do we let them know with allthis conspiracy of silence in mediaand society, even among politicalleft? How do we communicate? Wedon’t know their language even.How do we write? Can theytranslate from Russian? OK, let’sjust give it a try, we’ll see wherethis’ll go soon enough…

As soon as we learned of existenceof others like us, we startedreading their texts and establishedrapport through claims of respon-sibility and mutual expressions ofsolidarity. It’s a wonderful feeling,when one reads a text from an-other part of the world and yet itsclear that people have sameconcerns, share same ideals andhave same passion for freedomand social change, same rageagainst the status quo. And thinkabout you. Conspiracy of Cells ofFire were first group thatbreached the blank wall of igno-rance for us.

Solidarity to CCFfrom Russia

Anarchy is a mosaic of denial inwhich we recognize our commonplaces but also our differentreferences. Inside anarchy ourthoughts and practices are inconstant evolution, and welisten to the characteristics ofdifferent components of which itis composed.This is the beauty of revolution,there is not one unequivocal truth,neither one orthodox traditionwhich dictates the right and thewrong. So we, the imprisonedmembers of CCF, translated thetext of the Russians comrades, aswe believe it is anothercontribution in the internationaldialogue of the anarchists ofpraxis.Long live the FAI/IRF

easy ways towards world offreedom and equality. We lookeddeeper. Your daring attacks strokeus as the most appropriate andmeaningful way to react to policebrutality, economical and socialinjustices, ignorance of “law-abiding citizens” and politicalfarce. And although most ourcommuniques are frequentlywritten in light-hearted andelated tones, we know full wellthat this joy and feeling of close-ness with other anarchists aroundthe world doesn’t come easy. Thatevery direct action activist payswith her nerves, tears and bloodfor every letter in every claim ofresponsibility. And that to putsuch words on paper it reallytakes some character and verystrong feeling of doing the rightthing, of actually getting closer tovictory. And we thank you forsincerity and straight-forward-ness.

With our words and deeds weexpress our support for Greekcomrades and their cause, but wefeel its important for anarchists tofight in their own local battles andundermine authorities where theylive, not to travel around hotbedsof successful anarchist resistanceand “savour” this riot here or thatmarch there. Much less to sit idlyand wait till social war in Greeceends with a victory. Our subver-sive anarchist struggle shouldstart right here, right now, notwhen people in yet anothercountry finally decide to showtheir own government they’vehad enough.

That’s another point of referencethat endeared you to us, friendsfrom Conspiracy of Cells of Fire:your sharp and precise, brave(and brash even) voices calling fortotal break-away from modernsociety on all levels, everywhere.Your disagreement to follow “cafeprofessors of revolution”, voiced arefusal to wait for “revolutionizedmasses” to rise up. A call fordecentralized network of directaction. A motto “Think globally –act locally” put into the mostrevolutionary practice possible.

We have experienced first-handthe negative reaction and derisive

Letter from FAI-IRFCCF : Russian CellWhile reading letters written byimprisoned comrades and theircommuniques, we can feel with allour hearts their hatred towardsstatus quo, their anxiety to createanother world by destroying thisone. Each line of such texts flowslike a stream through your veins.It gets right to the core and staysforever in your soul.

While walking down cold anddark streets of the metropolises,we never forget about hundreds ofimprisoned comrades and thou-sands who have died. Sorrowmixed with anger channeledthrough a prism of revolutionaryconsciousness give us a huge pulseto make revolution a reality.

When void and terror of thisworld suddenly close in, it’ssometimes difficult to keep yourstance and not to fall into pits ofapathy and depression. And onlybright rays of ever-shining star-light pierce darkness and givehope. Every day they keep our

laughter of so-called “anarchistcomrades” right after publishingour only lengthy communique sofar, where we tried to explain whowe were and where did we stand.Today we see and hear more andmore anarchists in our regionturning towards anarcho-nihilismand moving in the direction oftotal rejection of the bourgeois-leftlifestyle. This happens on all levelsin the community: music, publica-tions, statements of responsibility,face-to-face talks, discussionsduring assemblies. But we knowfull well how hard and ungratefulit is to voice these ideas for thefirst time. And this is anotherreason we feel so much love andtenderness towards you.

Greece is so close in every anar-chist heart today, it seems. Some-times people in Russia joke thatclose friends meet on two occa-sions: weddings and funerals. ForRussian anarchists this closenesswith Greek comrades came afterpolice murder of AlexisGrigoropoulos. And yet Greece isso far away in terms of languageand events.

By the time information of youractivity and your texts reached us,some of you were already cap-tured, others in hiding.

So it was painful indeed to readyour thoughts and ideas and atthe same time know the fate thatawaited some of you and feelinguncertain and anxious for thosewho managed to go underground.With similar feelings we readscarce words of Ted Kaczynski,Walter Bond and Tortuga, closeones that reach us. With similarcold understanding of inevitabil-ity we read recent news of ourIndonesian comrades capturedafter an attack.

But life continues even aftercapture, and for people of strongcharacter even further struggle forAnarchy is possible, as so manyour comrades in Russia havepersonally learned throughout allthese years.

Your words fly out from behindprison bars, get carried away bywinds of Anarchy and translatedby numerous anonymous com-

rades around the world, wordsfull of dignity and calm surenessin our cause being right. Thesewords inspire us. By your acts ofdefiance you set a new level ofrevolutionary consciousness webelieve every anarchist shouldstrive to achieve. And knowledgeof your refusal to repent and bowdown gives strength to every newwave of anarchist prisoners, youshould know that. Big thanks forthis very difficult, dangerous andtaxing war you’re waging insideprison walls!

Our own liberatory project lies abit away from the cities andurban guerrilla, however. We’vemade a conscious and dangerousmove of bringing our actions tolight and kept constant the flow ofnews of our attacks. Our many-fold aim was to establish com-munion with other eco-anarchistand insurrectionary groupsaround the world (which we did),to help our comrades from“blackblocg” project in promotingthe new urban guerrilla warfare(which by now is a rage in ourlands), to encourage other eco-activists and anarchists on thepath of ecological sabotage (whichwas a success) and to provideintelligence, cover and support forsubversive actions of our com-rades in the region (a constant inour minds, and a roaring successby the looks of it). It is fall of 2011,and autonomous nazi groups inRussia are either destroyed orwent into hiding. Huge repressiveapparatus of Russian State, itsmechanisms grinding and moan-ing, slowly turns its attentiontowards anarchist movement.First lightning has already lit thehorizon – the recent arrests anddetentions in Moscow. Whatstorm will come we’ve yet to see.But what keeps us warm in thesecold and rainy nights is thethought that finally fledgelinganarchist movement in Russia hasmanaged to become an innerthreat dangerous enough for thegovernment to seriously considerputting a yoke on us prior toelections. Guess this means we’redoing everything right.

Now we believe it’s time for nextpart of our plan, and so we salutewith raised fists and step back

into the darkness of our forestsand glades. We keep in touch, wecarry on fighting side by side withour comrades-in-arms from IRF/FAI for another world we know ispossible. Our participation in IRF/FAI was made possible in largepart because of your efforts,friends, your dedication andcourage. This project gave us newand dear companions and co-conspirators, opened our minds tonew possibilities of struggle andprovided us with a lot to thinkabout.

And for this also we give you oureternal smiles, hugs, kisses, winks andsolidarity!

Let the fires of Anarchy be the beaconsof hope and encouragement for allexcluded and dispossessed worldwide!

After dead cold of winter spring willcome!

intent to act warm, each day theybreath new life into our willing-ness to change this world forbetter, to become better ourselves.The star is called Solidarity.

Fiery words from flaming Greecedrive the chill away during coldRussian winters. We’ve never seenyou, and, chances are, we’ll neversee you, comrades. But you arecloser to us than thousands ofpeople we’ve got to know duringour short lives.

Our warm words will be makinga long and twisted journey. Theyare running wild through Russianwoods, immolating constructionvehicles, they soar high abovegrey streets of Athens, ignitingthem with flames of burningpolice stations. And finallythrough prison bars they’ll getinto Your cells, mocking all secu-rity measures. While making ourmost sincere dreams come true onthe concrete streets of the me-tropolises, we came to call eachother friends. We found peoplewho we can count upon in anysituation. People so close, we canshare everything we have witheach other.

Power tries to isolate us and crushour resistance, to pick us off one-by-one. They want to instillfeelings of paranoia and mistrust.But they will fail. In spite of theirexpectations, we became evenmore closer to each other. Andwhile our activity puts us in gravedanger, we still dream of a day,when we shall gather again asfamily. We will be drinking herbaltea that we’ve gathered with ourown hands and sharing our planswith smiles and laughter. Andexchanging tales of our exploits.And this day is not far off. Wehope that soon enough you’ll beable to give hugs to all yourfriends as well.

And to get back on the road of adven-ture. We throw our fists up for you andwish you freedom. Flaming salutes andfiery hugs. And remember, you are notalone in this struggle!

Russia : Solidaritywith CCF from BlackBlocg

A society, which you find aroundyourself when you became a kindof conscious individual, shoulddamage you by a great multitudeof disgusting injustice whichinherent in its very structure. Itappears in everything: socialinstitutions, interpersonal mutualrelations, imposed pseudo-valuesand even in patterns of thinkingand feeling. All these yawningsores are poisoning every day ofour existence. It seems, thesehidden bitterness and disappoint-ment are the main reasons whyindividual comes to an anarchistbelief. Anarchist world-view is anattempt to abolish all the con-structs, which built in a humanworld but hostile to a very humannature. To abolish – and to createon the ruins new society of free-dom. Anarchist movement is acommunity of people which aimtheir thoughts and actions onrealization of a liberation idea.

So it has turned out, in last de-cades anarchist movement,despite all declarations, seems toabandon its main goal. Decadence,cynicism, passivity, doom andsquabbles has been enthroned inour ranks. But the fresh wind hassuddenly blown. Hearts, thatdisobedient to the mainstream,has refused to accept the despairof modern world and of that“movement”, which was sup-posed to change it. And that wasthe moment, when there wereborn a mixed current, which ismarked as an insurrectionaryanarchism.

In Russia insurrectionary anar-chist tendency for the first timehas declared itself a few years ago.Understanding of the hopelessnessof previous anarchist tactics insocial movements, murders of ourcomrades by fascists with theconnivance of the state and, ofcourse, fires of December uprisingin Greece – that was the coinci-dence of circumstances that hasenlightened the path of strugglewhich we confidently trail today.

We want to underline that at allimperfection of tactics (as thoughthere are perfect tactics!) and allthe mistakes that unavoidable onour way, an insurrectionarycurrent has a great meaning formodern anarchism. This sense isnot in “violence” about whichpreach police, media and toy“revolutionaries”. This sense is inthe rupture with stinking rulingorder. In fighting enthusiasm ofimmediate revolution, whenattack on the system and creatingof the new are merging in the onewhirlwind. No more we want toput off our struggle and life. Welive and fight today. And this isthe only approach which makes achance for victory. The breath offresh air for the great idea whichseemed was ready to fade away –that is the very meaning andmerit of insurrectionary anar-chism.

And it is completely not casual;world powers have put anarchistsfrom Conspiracy of Cells of Fire(CCF) in the same row withIslamites in their lists of terrorists.Terrorism is a favorite bugbear ofall bloody dollar dictators. It ismost likely, that soon we will seeanarchists as “public enemynumber one”, because unlikereligious fanatics, we have daredto challenge the root of presentorder – private property andsocial hierarchy.

The actions of Conspiracy of Cellsof Fire, as well as of many othercomrades from Greece and world-wide, always have inspirited usand fulfilled us with feeling ofunity and hope on victory. So inspite of certain ideological differ-ences (we don’t share “nihilism” ofCCF and, being insurrectionaryanarcho-communists, we aspire torise a people to rebellion) weexpress our solidarity withimprisoned comrades and sendthem our warm revolutionarygreetings.

Freedom for all immediately!

We will win!Long live anarchy!

When the rulers commit overtcrimes, the class-warrior prole-tariat resists overtly throughdirect action. To force people intoslave labour is an overt crime. Ifit’s committed by Germans, letalone social democrats, an overtand direct attack becomes anirresistibly lustful temptation.I succumbed to this temptationand sent to the eternal gutter aGerman social democrat directorof the Arbeitsamt (unemploymentoffice); he will not return fromthere, this formerly convictedchild abuser.

That’s why I’m in prison sinceFebruary 2001, sleep like a babyand look forward each day anewto be part of the worldwide armyof anarchy. We like to laugh in thisarmy, and we gladly talk aboutour struggles. So, hear me outnow:

On the day of the deed — I was 46-years-old — I was arrested. Iturned myself in, and let them dothe guesswork. It took them a fewdays to comprehend: overt resis-tance against slave labour! Therulers and their minions knowthat they themselves are a few,while the proletariats are many.(Only 4 percent of the residents inthe capitalist metropolis arepsychopaths, according to psy-chiatrists.) Evidently they sawthemselves threatened, becauseprosecutors and judges notifiedme through a court-appointedattorney that they would seek topsychiatrize and destroy me if Iclaimed responsibility in court bynaming my deed as overt resis-tance against slave labour. Theyopenly threatened me with forcedmedication.

I had to comply with thisattorney’s line of defense — he isnephew of a social democratdeputy of the Berlin parliament —who recited a freely inventedversion of the deed before thecourt; he told a sob story about adesperate unemployed man,whose nerves were on edge sincethe Arbeitsamt director dismissedhim and didn’t want to deal withhis begs for mercy. Thus, overtresistance was recast as man-slaughter, and I got 12 years’imprisonment. They had won thefirst round. But later I claimedresponsibility for my deedthrough radio interviews and theInternet, loudly and publicly, asovert resistance and direct actionagainst slave labour. Men andwomen class-warrior proletarianscovered me against the danger ofpsychiatrization, and thus therulers and their minions wereultimately defeated.

Had I remained silent and ac-cepted the blackmail, I would havebeen released earlier from prison,in February 2009. But I’d muchrather continue to struggle againstthe class enemy, even if the Stateand the Justice should designatefor this reason that I am a ‘sub-sisting danger’, in order to put meafter the prison term, in February2013, under an indefinite ‘preven-tive detention’.*

And even if they were to do that,they will lose. It causes themmuch more harm when they showtheir fear. Those who will win areUS. Little by little the superpow-ers will disappear from thisplanet, until only one superpoweris left that needs no masters, kings,states or gods: the proletariat, US!Therefore, the ruling class alongwith their social-democratichounds and their minions oughtnot to open their mouths wide;they ought not to charge theConspiracy of Cells of Fire withterrorism. The CCF attacks werenot directed against the prole-tariat. Everyone knows that;whoever says otherwise is a liar.

Long live the revolutionaryfractions of the worldwide prole-tariat, and those due to join these

fractions in the battles yet tocome!

Twelve gunshots fired into the airas a salute to the brothers andsisters of the Conspiracy of Cells ofFire!

Five arrows and a black star forthe Informal Anarchist Federation/ International RevolutionaryFront!

* Sicherungsverwahrung.Indefinite prolongation of prisonterm, a regime based on a 1933Nazi law, which allows theGerman authorities to keepindividuals incarcerated afterserving their overall sentence, aslong as the latter are considered a‘danger to public safety’. This typeof ‘preventive detention’ is actu-ally an indeterminate life sentencethat follows a ‘regular sentence’.In May 2011, the Federal Constitu-tional Court of Germany issued averdict on Sicherungsverwahrungdeeming it “unconstitutional”, yetthis decision does not annul itsimplementation in practice.

Sardinia: Letter fromDavide Delogu

I send my heartfelt greetings andstrong solidarity to the comradesof the Conspiracy of the Cells ofFire, who are tackling anddeveloping the clash in theongoing social war with force anddetermination. The revolutionarypractice that the comrades arecarrying out is an essentialcontribution for the constantreaffirmation of whatcharacterizes the trajectory to betaken.

I totally agree with the analysisand action for the continuation ofthe revolutionary growth of theinternational coordination so thatthis ability can be placed in frontof the existent with shatteringstrategies, perpetually in

movement everywhere. For therevolutionary international front!

Each one with their ownspecificity, which can onlystrengthen the relations andprojectuality to be carried out.May the call of the CCF stimulatethe impetus of the insurrectionalfire, the lead of vengeance, thedynamite of the damned in thebrotherhood of the struggle andits destructive capacity!

The practice that belongs to usmanifests itself in our veryexistence and direct action, and nocourt, no repressive methodology,no matter how subtle it becomesin time, can ever stop theanarchist fire of freedom, whichkeeps on flaring up endlessly.Strengthened by all this, let’s makeit possible for the noise of theprison walls being blown to piecesto be heard, for the real liberationof the comrades kidnapped in thecells of the enemy, as one of themain goals of existential explosionwith which the revolutionaryproject is being put in action!

To the daring warriors of the CCFwho don’t give up and continue toattack the real instruments ofdominion, who demonstrate thecombatant passion for freedom byinflaming the cells where they arebeing kept: I express and supportin constant revolt the indefeasiblesolidarity bond! A fraternal andsubversive hug to you, comrades,together in the assaults on thoseMatrix who lock us up. Let’sconsolidate what was started!CCF free now! With myinsurrectional anger on fire, Isalute you with passion!

P.S. According to the calculationsof the judiciary, I’ll be released in2027. The main charge against meis attempted murder, a 12-yearsentence. During this time of deathimposed by the State and itsservants it is necessary to be anactive and integral part of thestruggle, trying to shoot at thecurrent situation of imprisonmentwith all the resistance fighters in aprojectual way.

For all comrades, the address ofthe prison where I’m currentlydetained is:

Chile: Letter fromFrancisco Moreno

Comrades:I send these words from a jail in$hile. Before informing you of mydehumanizing prison situation, Iexpress my full support andsolidarity to you, free minds andrebels. It is imperative that westay united in this fight, andbreak the isolation by dealingwith the powerful street agitationinvisibly raising theirinsurrectionary flames world-wide.

I hope these words will be of greathelp to stand firm and feed theirindomitable souls that have hadthe courage to confront State /Capital and all its prevailing“order”.

We are prone to incarcerationbecause we choose to beourselves, to live a life withoutchains and not being ruled byauthoritarian power. We are notafraid to be different, being awareand proud individuals who donot hesitate to declare war on theoppressors.

Institutional brutality does notweaken us, oppression createsresistance. They can lock us inthese tombs for the living, thejailers can try unsuccessfully tohumiliate us, the bourgeois pressmay use their weapons to weakenus, to create “public opinion”, theflawed prosecution tries tointimidate us with their“exemplifying sentences”.But they can never satisfy thishunger for freedom that isDEMONSTRATED BY OURREVIDICATIONS.

DETENTION:$hile today is convulsing, street

revolt is present throughout theNazi-onal territory.There is widespread discontent,the repudiation of the ruling classis growing every day.The powerful profit fromeverything possible ... with ourlands.Our sweat.Our blood.On July 14, I actively participatedin combat action and streetagitation. Hooded, I defendedmyself against the terrorist statein the form of violent oppressionby police bastards.The next day I was formalized onthree counts:

- Transport of an incendiaryweapon (Molotov).- “Serious” injuries to a bastard inuniform.-Minor injuries to anotheruniformed bastard.

I was released in “freedom”because of little evidence andcontradiction in the statementsagainst me (the same pigs werepolice witnesses). Now began themachinations of power, there wasan entire TV show by thebourgeois press, using their guns,criminalization of social revoltand everybody who participatedwas proud of it. Obviously thepolitical class wanted to be part ofthe TV show. The president andtheir puppets appeared before thecameras to be part of themanipulation. They showed theirdispleasure for leaving me in thestreet and not behind bars, asthey want. ... So the days passedand I was again subjected to aflawed judicial process, wherethey decide to “surprise” me inprison since July 22. Besides, thecharges against me werereclassified, now I’m accused ofattempted murder, whichobviously increases the years ofconfinement.

I have been met with hostility inthese dungeons, jailers (vileparasites) earn their dirty moneytrying to humiliate us, but wehave not given up our comradesand our gaze is higher than ever,no blow eliminates our identity,our anti-authoritarian thinking.

25

We’ve been hit, trying to create inus a daily routine that isdisgusting, believing they canmake us “brainwashed” to comeout obedient to authority. Morons,all they do is to increase ourhatred with more force and giveour struggle more and moreconviction. I do not believe in thelaws made by humans to enslavehumanity!“Faced with deaf ears, new ideas willsail through with acts of rebellion.”DOWN WITH THE WALLS OFTHE PRISON - LONG LIVEINSURRECTION

Switzerland: Letterof Marco Camenischto the CCF / FAI

Companion, dear comrades of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire, first phase:

Maybe too late, surely too short Irespond to your call, to yourproposal. But I respond with asolid heart, within the timelessmoment of the struggle forfreedom.

and all together, demonstrate thatthey don’t support theirgovernment, their terror, their liesand divisions that formillenniums they had to usecontinuously to continue theirexploitation and domination, tocontinue their crazy way of globaldestruction.

Solidarity, love and courage to youcomrades of the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire, to you that alreadyhave a name, that they wantridiculously process because of therevolutionary struggle cannot beprocessed!

Solidarity, love and courage to youcomrades of the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire without name, of thesecond phase, that, carrying therevolutionary offensive andretaliation that makes masterstremble and so their servants, youare the living demonstration thatthe revolutionary struggle cannotbe processed!

Solidarity, love and courage to youcomrades all over the world, whoare the rampant insurrection andorganization that will defeatevery authority, every State, everymaster, giving back life, givingback the future, giving back thefreedom to this world.

For permanent insurrection, until totalLiberation, Anarchy!

Marco Camenisch,November 2011, from the Swissjail.

I respond with warmth andrevolutionary love, within thetimeless time of our revolutionarypath without history, beyond anyfalse story of the rulers, where ourgenerations in struggle are theonly present always alive.

I salute and embrace you as Iembraced the signs, the manybrave signs of your actions andwords and those of others, andothers like us, that reach into atabout 7.000 days of prisonwithout ever being boring,desperate, regretful. They aresigns of presence, continuity anddiffusion of struggle for freedom,where 0 or 7.000 days of prisondon’t matter, because they aresigns of the same struggle, becausewhat matters is the struggle forlife, for freedom. The years,centuries of prison or our deathsin combat don’t matter. They areheavy as mountains, but don’tmatter because, if the strugglelives, we continue to live; wecontinue to live because dead orwith centuries of prison, we fell asfree women and men and these weremain. Because who has livedand who lives truly - the strugglehas lived - and we live thefreedom that brings us together.So, our rebel spirit can never goback to the vile and annihilatingslavery of this civilization ofmasters and murderous thieves,with their history and their timeof destruction and exploitation.

A rebel and insurgent spirit is aserene spirit, spirit without timebecause it lives in a continuouspresent made of solidarity.Solidarity that by definition joinsgenerations, joins the efforts, joinsthe act, joins our life, joins ourhearts, as much as they may bedifferent and materially far awayare and lived, live and will live!

They may do their trials, they arejust the signs of their cowardice, oftheir fear, of their decline. Theymay call us terrorists, it is just thesign that we hit our target, it isjust the sign of their defeat in frontof every sign of the rampantinsurrection.

Chile: Letter fromZerman Elias Vallej

My arrest:September 22, 2011, Santiago deChile, 14:00 Hrs. Park Almagro, Iam at a demonstration when myarrest comes after throwing aMolotov cocktail at a police cartrying to disperse the activistswith tear gas. After havingthrown the petrol bomb, I noticedsome plainclothes policemen(infiltrators in the crowd) thatmingled among activists withtheir faces covered, that’s why Idecided to get rid of any possibleevidence that I had in mybackpack (3 Molotov cocktailsmore and 2 liters of petrol), when Iwent to a hidden place to get ridof clothing and change clothing.That is when two plainclothespolice forcibly grabbed me andtook me to a police car in thecompany of a soldier who

suddenly appeared; 23rd of thesame month I am brought to courtwhich decides to give me 60 daysremand for being considering apublic danger, along with beingcharged with - transport and useof incendiary weapons - propertydamage - public disorder chargeswhich were prolonged (or so Ibelieve) due to public opinion andgovernment pressure on judges.The government aims to keep allactivists in prison, so that to thepeople we represent “exemplarypunishment “ a totally cowardlydespotic example by the Chileangovernment against all existingactivists.

The fear of the bourgeois class isevident, its witch hunt is nothingmore than a desperate measure toa reality that its trying to hide,discontent and contempt for allkinds of figures and hierarchies isincreasingly. You can smell fear inevery street, you can smell andsee it in the bourgeois press, thegovernment is afraid of ourstruggle, those who will neverrest until we see this imposed“order” break down. So that wecan build a new society free fromthe clutches of the oppressivedespots.

LIVING IN A DUNGEON

‘Company’, is the only word thatcan describe the filthy jail called“Santiago 1” in which I findmyself prisoner, from theperspective of these months,seeing it as a dirty business thatprofits from the freedom ofindividuals, whose mainbeneficiaries are the dealershipbuilding the estate, whichreceives money for the defendant,the complainant tax gross earningextra money for each prisoner andthe person who benefits fromstate public opinion. Of the showof “criminals and useless savages”being punished by the great andproper government, at this pointwe can not ignore the corruptbourgeois press that supports thestate position and plays afundamental role when shapingpublic opinion which benefits thestate government approval polls.This greatly influences voting in

the upcoming elections for re-election (which is a disgustingshow, a montage of television, auseless government and mediaspectacle making itself availableto corruption and stench). Thereare many spots advertisingpolitical parties:

“Tough on criminals”“Criminals, the party’s over”“Stop the revolving door ofprisons” ... and many more.

Other terms that are no lessimportant than ‘company’, thatdescribe this prison are, ‘abuse ofpower’, ‘corruption’, ‘routine’,‘constant beatings’, ‘psychologicalabuse’, ‘overcrowding’, ‘brutal’and ‘inhuman punishments’.These are among the many termsthat may reflect an inhumanreality in which “live” (if you cancall this living) thousands ofinmates in Santiago 1.

In this prison the daily business isseen as the brutal beatings a jailermay tip to any gesture ofrebellion, individuality orstrength.

This was forged to introduce intoprison inmates a “discipline” thatis nothing more than “teaching”made up of batons and kicks tomake submission “re-enable” and“reintegrate” you into society ...really pure SHIT. The damn jaileraims to have the power over yourlife, to be master of your will anddesires, with power backed bygovernment institutions and thesubmission of the prisonpopulation from a beating of thejailer bastards, they bow theirheads and think it is “normal” tobe trampled by one of thesebastards.

Due to this, my constant stance ofdefiance got me into conflict witha jailer, who remained stupefiedto see that I was defending myselfagainst this infamy. This is one ofhundreds of examples; an inmateonce told me that after beingbeaten by six officers, was takento a “punishment cell” which hedescribed as a cell of about 4x4meters, with wet floor, no seats ortable, a mattress on the floor

routine ID check in the town of Massa,Tuscany. There was a shooting after onecarabiniere (Italian paramilitary olice)saw that Marco had a gun andpanicked; Marco and one carabinierewere injured. This time Marco got a 12-year sentence for injuring the carabiniereand for another attack against the powerlines between La Spezia and Acciaiolo,which transported energy produced byFrench nuclear plants. He did 11 of the12 years in Italy, waiting to beextradited to Switzerland. In May 2002Marco was subjected to a show-trialdesigned to politically damage the widerstruggle against ecocide, and to punishMarco for his defiance in showing noremorse for his actions. In flagrantdisregard for the state’s own legalprocess, Marco got charged andconvicted for the murder of a completelydifferent Customs policeman in 1989 inBrusio, and sentenced for 17 years. Withthis sentencing the Lords of the Atomand their accomplices “settled the score”with Marco – including the previous 10and 11-year sentences – a total of 39years of imprisonment. Longer than a lifesentence. In May 2007 the sentencewas reduced to a maximum of 8 years,with release scheduled to be in May2018. He is currently underinvestigation in ‘Operation Ardire’.

Germany: Letterfrom Thomas Meyer-Falk to the CCF

Solidarity to all the comrades ofCCF

Dear friends and comrades overthere, I want to send all the im-prisoned comrades of C. C. F. mybest, warmest and deepest soli-darity greetings.

Like always before, prisons arestill places of so many dreams; theauthorities try to make it to a hell,

Mexico: Letter fromBraulio ArturoDuran González

Technology, dogmas,dependency injected into theminds of the weak. Plastic statuscemented by the establishedorder under the warning ‘do notbreak’ with the oh-so-precious“social peace”… the underminingof the insurrection with the threatof death and imprisonment insewers full of supposedreintegration, so that we can livein the margins of “happiness”.

Hello, my name is Braulio ArturoDuran González, vegan eco-anarchist prisoner accused of

sabotaging a banking institution(specifically accused of causingdamage with fire against to cashmachines) in the city of León,Guanajuato, México…

On the 24th of September 2010 Iwas intercepted by two agents ofthe ministerial police while I washeading out to buy some food. Iwas detained exactly one yearafter the event, as the action inquestion took place in 2009. Aftera year of investigations an orderof arrest was requested for meapparently by the CIE (SpecialInvestigations Office), which wasdenied due to supposed lack ofevidence, to which they appealedto a magisterial judge where itwas finally accepted.

After my arrest I was pressuredto admit to innumerable actions,to which I refused and only thebank sabotage was left… as I havealready said, right now I findmyself in the Centre for SocialReintegration in LeónGuanajuato. They have sentencedme to three years, ten months andfifteen days in prison receivingthe benefit of community workand the ability to obtain my“liberty” if I was to pay thereparation for the damage thatreaches hundreds of thousands ofpesos, which will not be paidbecause as is well known, wesimply want the money to burn(in the words of a great comrade),so that we will keep on fightinguntil we can get out of this place.

As I have already said I am againawaiting sentencing because aftermy appeal my trial was restarted(supposedly due to problems withmy defence) and they puteverything on me again, so at thismoment I am without sentence.Hopefully things will turn outfavourably and I can continuefighting. I firmly believe thatdirect action is and will always besomething extremelytranscendental. We know wellnow that the main factorsustaining the corporations ismoney, through self-perpetuationand self-reproduction creating aconsumer society and in turn adominant empire, which will endup making us dependent on them.

(obviously wet), the walls coveredin shit, an incredible stenchand a small plastic pot forprisoners to do their basic needs.To that nasty place, he was putnaked and wet, beaten andbloodied; Upon entering the cell,beaten again and pepper sprayedin the eyes, and then abandonedin there for about 2 days withoutfood or water, in that filthy place.

Despite the in-human condition,the strength is something thatabounds, convictions grow everysecond, the desire to fight againstall authority are enhanced moreand more. Wanting to break theprisons that enslave us, the prisonis one of the things we have incommon, so we will fight for ourfreedom until our last breath.

“While my body is imprisoned,my mind is more free than ever, itwill not ever change!

Zerman Elias Vallej

and there still exist prisons in somany countries which we shouldcall “hell”, but the servants of thestates will never break ourdreams. And it is our turn to fightto make the dreams living, tobring them to reality.C. C. F. are an inspiration forcomrades and movements inmany countries, even they areoutside or behind the bars.I fully agree with the strategic ofC. C. F. called “to take its life in itshands”. We have to stand up andfight back. No time to wait forwhatever.

Clenched fist salute! In the struggle…Thomas Meyer - Falk

They’ve made us believe that lifecannot be life without them. Theysimply manipulate us by sayingthat life will be more difficultunless we acquire theirunnecessary technology andalmost all the time we believe thatthis is how it is and we’re notcapable of questioning or rejectingit.

Direct action will end theirhierarchy bit by bit, andconsequently wear out theirsupport (although it might notseem so, it will) and so sabotage isa part of our own methods ofautonomy.

Many people talk of “freedom”and revolution, others mentiondirect action from a merelyreformist position, which istotally incongruent because directaction means what it says.

Others are not even ready toquestion whether they are trulyready to run the risk. There arevery few that are truly ready andbreak with their own passivityand decide to put words intoaction, leaving behind the fearthat usually arises from theirbodies, acting anonymously,destroying their authoritariancivilization. But there is alwayssomething that remains –consequences. Consequences arenot easy, they are hard, bitter andpainful; consequences are death orfucking prison… prison is cold, itdestroys your memories and yourfeelings or it turns you into aninsensitive robot.

The jail distances you andenvelops you, putting rubbishinto your mind bit by bit; jailtakes you away from those closeto you and hurts them; jail makesyou dependent on so many thingsand sometimes not even youyourself realize it – the truth isthat there are so many things youcould never imagine in theseplaces. Nobody has ever said itwould be easy, but despite thisyou fight to change it, you run therisk of everything for nothing, inspite of knowing that nothing willbe the same again. No-one saidthat we would be the same people

we were before but even so webreak our own preconceptionsand for the moment we have toput up with it. I know that oneday (I do not know when), I knowthat things will change. This issomething very strong in myheart and when this day arrivesthings will change and themoment will arrive to collect forevery deception, every upset,every tear from those bastardsthat took me hostage… rememberthere is no justice, there is revengeand so the page will turn.

Take heart comrades, you that arein the same situation that I findmyself, do not falter, fight dayafter day and do not let them robyou of your freedom that is inyour mind because perhaps weare imprisoned physically butthey cannot imprison our minds(even though at times it seems asthough they can), strength! Do notlet them turn you into what theywant you to be… LOVE AND DOAS YOU WISH, BUT LOVE!

I have always said that: “I prefer todie believing that I fought forsomething than die of an overdose; Iprefer to die believing that I can changethe world than believe that theeverything is all rosy; I prefer to die atthe barricades than die in a filthy prisonlike the one I find myself in now – adignified death is the one of therevolutionary.”

Strength to all my comrades heldhostage in the struggle, takecourage and do not let this spiritnor the struggle waver! ... all thepoems and great texts that youwish to share can be madeavailable to this simple comrade.

MUCH STRENGTH COMRADES,THE STRUGGLE IS GROWINGEVERY NIGHT…FREEDOM TO POLITICALPRISONERS! HEALTH.

Switzerland: Letterfrom Billy

“The interpretation we want to give tothe term ‘detrimental’ exceeds by far theability to intervene with the consent of anorganism. We have before our eyes thedetriment of culture, political and social.But what we want to show in thisdifficult and painful situation for us is themethod which characterizes the bonds ofauthority. Technology and its handling,the destruction of life, the intervention ininheritance, the researches of scientificindustries, a result of thousands years ofdominating and human-centric thought.Partly ‘everything will be ok’, despite thehealth problem which accompanies thebasic values of a technologicalcivilization, which feeds from the time andthe lives of thousands of humanindividualities and non-human ones.Which sieves and divides living creaturesinto races, species, into standard categorieson a hierarchically classified ladder basedon the needs of civilization. In a web ofglobal crisis it is basic to observe that thissystem resorts to technology in order toextend its own life. After ‘spending’ theplanet, transforming it into a refuge ofresources for the greedy appetites of thehuman elite, after digging it, wiping it outand poisoning it, now it continues to runto science, primary virtue of theconservation of the present correlations ofdominance, coming to the point of offeringto sacrifice – research even the profounddepths which make life biologicallypossible. The struggle against detrimentcannot be separated from the social webwhich reproduces them and makes themnecessary. This means to bring afundamental critique to the economichumiliation and the techno-scientificevolution in their totality, withoutstopping at limited matters of technology.Starting from the production of a productas a production of detriment, going ontothe production (fake) needs , in an alwaysincreasing commercialization of thehuman, to come to the system itself whereabsolute detriment controls suchproductions, programming the limits oftolerance and configuring their perceptionand acceptance”

Excerpt from the “Manifesto ofCollaboration against every detriment”which is included in“Nanotechnology – the philosophicalstone of dominance”, Il Silvestre 2011.

The afternoon of April 15th 2010 Iwas arrested together with SilviaGuerini and Constantino Ragusabecause at a police check theyfound on us a small quantity ofexplosives, flammable materialsand communiques for a sabotageagainst the European centre ofnanotechnology research (stillunder construction), a cooperationbetween the multinational IBMand the federal polytechnicuniversity of Zurich. After 15months of investigation and‘smart findings’ from the side ofthe federal prosecutors, on July23rd 2011 the court took placeagainst us, from which we weresentenced to 3 years and 4months, and 3 years and 8 monthsrespectively, while still in Italy aninterrogative investigation of theprosecutors of Turin investigatesalso some other incidents. Duringthe investigations as well asduring the trial we refused toparticipate in the game of thepredictable usual roles: the role ofthe guilty who search formitigations, excuses and acceptstheir guilt or the role of theinnocent, who despair for thecharges, who ask for an allegedsignificance of the justice of thejudges and protests withinlegitimacy. Within its expression“justice is made up!” There is norole for those who deny all rolesneither is there a capableauthority which despises all theother authorities.

Legality, the wretched god,protector of industrialist religions,is an emergence of authority. It is abond of light nailed on the eyes inorder to preserve blurry thevision of all those who made theacceptance of the existing state ofthings their faith and resignationtheir first trial. Through legalityauthority absorbs all objectionsand outbreaks for a deep change. Itde-activates every possible andprobable revolutionary or radicalcarrier in order to replace it withthe form of a ‘right’ or a ‘must’. Aconcession or an obligation whichdoes not threaten authority.

In order to remind this every dayit confers about the ‘majormatters’ of the planet such as

poverty in the world andorganizes campaigns against these‘collateral losses’ of our westernsociety, which it allegedly ‘fightsfor’ (considering though thatundisputable profit which it offersconserves them rather thanfighting them in reality). Thus arefollowed faithfully the limits ofexploitation and property of theindustries and their co-operatorswithin an economic delirium andthe legalization of governmentsand their accomplice authorities oflooting and annihilation, as muchin the north as well as the south ofthe whole equator. Other timesauthority ‘celebrates’ the memoryof struggles of the past, such as theone of the feminists with womentoday having tones of texts fullwith rights with contributionchoir of the church. At the samemoment neither patriarchyneither male sexism have made astep back, on the contrary have afoundational role in society. Toprovide smiles, breasts and heartto encourage the trade. Similarlywe can also speak about theanimals who in the westerncountries receive more ‘care’ fromso many foreign ‘illegals’, with anonsense of laws, the attempt toconfirm legal justice. But in realitythe possibility of animals tosurvive remains always tied tothem being transformed intoobjects of a circus or a zoo,adventures inside the parks orinto food as sub-products.Struggles which through legality,the system oppressed them,absorbed them and changed theminto a support for itself.

Authority means first of all tobecome arrogant of yourprivileges in front of others andthere is a naivety in the thoughtthat those who are allegedlyabove privileges, who on thosehave built and based all of theirbeing, they spontaneouslydisclaim them because they arecovered by the ‘beautiful’ protestsinto moulds and poorer socialconventions. We have it in front ofour eyes constantly. Whoever hasa privilege does everything topreserve it beginning from makingus believe that it has mysteriouslydisowned reality. This is a role of

democracy: it produces illusionsin order to guarantee that nothingchanges. To guarantee through agame of politicians-supporters,who are all the same, outside theballot on which they place theircross the moment they vote, thatall intentions for a change returnto legality. In this magic littleword which between their fanscan transform all the loathing thatsurrounds us and has turnedevery live existence and element ofthis earth, into an exploitativesource by the capitalist system,into work, good and right.

We know the level of illusionsproduced by democracy: it givesout deportations to the foreignerswho moved into ‘welcome centres’inside the ring of bombingscarried out during ‘peacefuloperations’. It shares outdestructions, the fruit of urbanismand of land exploitation, resultingin ‘natural destructions’, in thename of surveillance, patrols inthe neighbourhoods, themilitarization in sequence withthe states of emergency, namingthem ‘security measures’, bendingthe etymological significance ofthe term which should have beenindicated through the exactopposite. Without the need of sucha circus... However when theyimport to the people, the suspicionthat they are cheating us, thatbehind all these lights,advertisements, pompouscelebrations of democracy, there’sonly a frantic emptiness ofeverything because we are lootedinside and in our interpersonalrelations, with the emptiness ofthe (non) lands we ended up livingin, with the culture ofmerchandise, with our lives at theservice of economy… Even then inthe mind of the people the reactionis another motive for them tosurrender again one more time intheir hands, the dominators intheir own ‘rights’, always lookingfor new settings: moreresponsibility in the productionand consumption of themerchandise-garbage, morehumane metropolises, moreeconomic development,… there isno limit to the deceiving.

Solidarity is a weapon sharpened betterthan oppression. Greeting and solidarityto all hostages of war who we callcomrades.

Billy (Luca Bernasconi)From a prison of social peace,December 2011

Billy was released 19 August 2012.

Today, the mother of all illusions isthe techno-scientific development.If the trust in this indoctrinationof ‘progress’ and ‘development’ isalmost totalitarian, totalitarian isthe deterioration which it hasestablished on us. A deteriorationthrough a ‘freedom of choice’which is however changed intomarginalization and isolationwhen the choice is not theproposed one and is appliedindependently of terms. Thedynamics are established withdefined technological gadgets;very much stabilizing thedynamics which move in the totalof ‘free’ society. Wherespontaneous conformism does notreach, it comes in with small stepsof the obligations for the creationof false needs, fantasy and theremoval of every alternativesolution so nothing will remainexcept to condemn the fact thatyou can make an autonomous andsignificant choice therefore betterand righter.

Behind the techno-scientificevolution there is nothing morethan the almost romantic dreamof the modern ‘pioneers’ and‘visionaries’ of future society (oreven better the egotistical versionof researchers and scientists in thesearch for glory, career, andcivilization). It is in practise aprocedure for which these peoplework in the service oftransforming the present, whichtouches all and everyone withoutexclusion. It is not only an‘improvement’ of the presentexistence, but a deep changing ofthe characteristics, creatingsomething new, upcoming to betransformed into something else.From this change which functionsas an incentive for the hunger ofthe fantasist manufacturers, onlysome sci-fi scenarios come to ourears. When at the first stage ofproduction, the progress ofresearch fields of nano andbiotechnology, neuroscience andIT, are not made known to us.Probably not even their owninspirers realize what they areputting into motion. But it is ofcourse the direction to which theyare pushing us, which meanstowards a further desperation of

the present fake life and their owndetriments. They intend maybe torealize the promises with whichthey govern today: maybe theylimited the levels of CO2, savedsome specific animals from thelabs and slaughterhouses; theyallow us to intervene and act inthe discussions of authority withthe Social Network, but thefoundations of the system willnever be altered: the privilege of aminority to exploit everythingand all the rest.

This is why even more, the duty ofwhoever does not want to throwoil on the mechanisms of thesystem, but wants to stop them,whoever has rage in their soul forevery time that they look aroundthey see numerous forms ofexploitation, oppression andhumiliation, and do not want tocontain this rage, is to not let theirspirit soften through the limits ofa peaceful protest and one allowedby the strong ones. It cannotcomply to the values, ethic and avirtuous dominant hypocrisy ofsociety and all those allegedthinkers who disown the violentand violence on the basis of theircalm lives. The violence of plentythey call ‘prosperity’, those whoproduce it, consume it andthrough the urban habits, defendits power. The rage cannot makeits characteristic that whichclaims a simple piece of the pie,which are the basic ingredients ofour lives, alienated and passive,based on the looting of the people,the seas and the land of this earth.The fact that the ‘protectors’ ofthis world, condemn us andpersecute us must be interpretedas a seal of their loss.

I conclude by giving a greetingand lots of strength to you,comrades in Greece, beyond thewalls and bars that divide us,beyond the mountains and seathat separate us and beyond theparticularities which distinguishus (and which must not be lapsingthrough categorizations). Beyondthe courses, the strategies and thedifferent paths of struggle we havetaken between us, but whichclimb on the same hills and showthe same peak, the attack on the

Bulgaria: Letter ofJock Palfreeman tothe CCF / FAI

To all the prisoners of war we callcomrades:

My name is Jock Palfreeman, I’veserved almost 4 years of a 20 yearsentence for defending 2 Romaagainst a nationalist attack of 15. Iwas charged with the murder of 1and the attempted murder ofanother. My case is documentedfurther at freejock.com and I don’twant to wish to waste words on ithere.

For almost 4 years now I’ve beenofficially kidnapped in Sofiacentral prison - State of Bulgaria.The realities of my case censoredfrom the Bulgarian public by astate sponsoring media. I staystrong and look forward to thenext 16 years as I know with allthe essence of my being that whatI did was right. Prisoners of war(P.O.W) are not victims of injustice

like the “liberals” speak about intheir self-justifying wank. We arewilling enemies of the capitaliststates and their organs. Prisonshould never be glorified as aprisoner knows there is nothingglorious about prison. We are cut-off, deaf, dumb and blind. But thisis an admittance of successimparted by the state. Protests aresanctified by the capitalist state asthe state knows that all protestshave parameters and within theseparameters the demands of thepeople are annulled. I would be soarrogant as to presume that manyincarcerated comrades who tookup means of direct action did soafter several wasted years ofshouting in endless marches to thebemusement of the pettybourgeois shop owners. Indeed theonly benefit of this wasted time inour lives is that we nowunderstand that it was wasted.

Protesters are not jailed as theypose no threat to the status quo ofthe capitalist elite. In this regardwe must ask ourselves “why arewe in prison?”. Exactly as we dopose a threat to the status quo.Incarceration is the state’sacknowledgment that wechallenge theory legitimacy tocontrol our lives. Due to thisknowledge I wake up (almost)every morning with a smile.Although our enemies still sit onthe throne of oppression, thatthrone has been shaken.

We as P.O.Ws should draw furtherstrength from those who cameand went before us. From theGreek students who stared downthe guns of the state as theyinvaded the universities to theminers of Australia at the EurekaStokade. What we share withthese people spanning throughhistory as well as national orcultural bounds is that we’ve alldeclared “enough is enough”despite the real potential of deathor capture we’ve all followed ourconscience first.

We became enemies of thecapitalistic state as we refused tolive under their submissionwithout resistance. Although weare in “prison”, we always were,

as the comrade outside still are.The cameras recording our lives,police attacks and murders,censorship and brainwashing. Theonly difference between the stateinside the prison walls andoutside them is quantity. Thecrimes of the capitalist state thatare committed against theoutsiders are the same committedagainst us insiders. And thecrimes committed by the statewithin the prison walls you canbe certain are committed againstthe outsiders. The only differenceis the quality of the sameoppression.

Specifically I’m speaking to thecomrades who have never beenincarcerated. Every attack or setup you’ve experienced at thehands of the state agents, weexperience it everyday. Everybeating you’ve ever experienced,we experience it everyday. Everytime you’ve felt hungry, weexperience hunger everyday.Every time you’ve experienced acold night, we experience it everynight of winter. We share the exactsame problems inside and outsideof prison, but the state uses theseparation in prison to focus itstyranny. In prison its purified andconcentrated.

As we share the same tyranny asour comrades outside we alsoshare the same hopes and dreams.I remember EVERY act ofsolidarity with my case. My heartjumps with joy every blowagainst capitalism. When I thinkof the comrades from theConspiracy of Cells of Fire whoshowed such extraordinarysolidarity I feel a pain of guilt inmy heart that comrades weresentenced so harshly for their actsof solidarity. Yet instantly myheart rejoices as I know why theydid what they did. I know theyknew the repercussions of theiractions before committing them. Itwas wholeheartedly andconsciously that they decided tosolidarity in the only meaningfulway possible to so manyPrisoners Of War.

Relatively out of context, i’d like tohighlight my problems that affectme in prison. Although pan

European solidarity has beenshown (including direct action)there still remains a total lack ofsolidarity or direct action withinthe state of Bulgaria. Not a singlemurmur of solidarity from whereit should be expected the most. Myproposal or idea is to exportresistance from where it isplentiful to where it is lacking. Alltoo often I read about solidarityactions being committed indifferent states to where the issueis located. But Bugaria seems to bea complete black hole on theEuropean map of resistance. Withthe cross workings of Europeanstates, including Europol, N.A.T.Oand businesses, we too must bemore prepared to seek out theenemy behind any borders s/he ishiding behind, despite cultural,lingual or national difference.

How is it possible that Greece ison the brink of revolution, yet inbulgaria hordes of fascists burnthe houses of Roma unopposed?

I stopped asking the question“where are the Bulgariancomrades in Bulgaria?” manyyears ago. Now I ask “where arethe Greek comrades in Bulgaria?”How can such a thing as a stateborder be such a separator of amovement that claims it holds novalue for borders?Our comrades in eastern Europeare greatly outnumbered. InBulgaria there is no resistance tofascism, only the empty words ofthe ‘liberals’ who have the nerveto call themselves anarchists. Asfar as I know, I’m the ONLY anti-fascist in prison in Sofia, youmight think that a good thing, butit can’t be forgotten that we aretheir enemies; the lack of anti-fascists in Bulgarian prisons isreflective of the lack of resistance.

Although I have no contact withthe Conspiracy of Cells of Fire(C.C.F) or the Informal AnarchistFederation (FAI), I recognise thatthey are part of an effectiveminority. While the ‘liberals’ tryto negotiate with the non-negotiable, the organisations likethe C.C.F and the F.A.I are the onlyones who scare the plumppoliticians. The C.C.F and the F.A.I

are the physical manifestations ofthe desires of many who are tooscared to realise them. Theobvious evolution is the BlackInternational, whereby the statesthat hold our Prisoners Of Warwill know that we will not beforgotten as numbers on files in aprison archive. As we pay ourlives, the state should not be heldany less accountable for theircrimes then they hold usaccountable.

LONG LIVE THE C.C.F, UNTIL THEWORLD STOPS SPINNINGRAGE FROM THE CAGE

Italy: A TrajectoryFrom Sparks to Fire:Federico Buono’scommuniqué insolidarity with themembers of the CCF

Dear comrades,I want to give my little contribution ofsolidarity to the members of the CCFthrough this piece of writing.Federico Buono

-

“Revolution is existential struggle”Panagiotis Argirou, member of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire

A Trajectory From Sparks toFire…

From the darkness of socialpacification a new propulsiveforce is emerging, which destroysand annihilates everything -regardless of anything else:normal daily life is beingshattered and overturned likeadvancing darkness that refusesthe drowsiness induced by the‘artificial’ lights of stablecertitudes.

Abandoning an insignificantworld and the immovable realityof a life regulated by artificialmechanisms.

There exists no quiet acquiescencetowards the respect of the rules ofhonour that sound human life, in acontinuous repetition of mechanicgestures, artifacts in their essence,and which stop their ‘way ofbeing’ in a limbo of frustrations.

Theory is put in practice andpractice is put in theory withoutbeing stopped by neither a‘collective no’, which determinesthe silence imposed in order no tolose the ‘certitudes of life’, nor bycompromise.

When one’s hands and mind shakein unison in an exasperating rift offree conscience and free will, itmeans that from inside ourawareness a dream bursts out, adream transformed into realnecessity to change the air thatone breathes, in a destructive fireand for the destruction of theorder which has been reigning sofar – cutting off all ties.

The experience of ‘constant attack’of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire –which are far away from theworld of ‘bourgeois laws’ –without any certitude, annihilatesall that ‘allow’ the citizen to livean existence of claustrophobicnormality.

Concentrating oneself on theconcept of normal and abnormalsounds the way of life of thosewho demand from themselves andwhat surrounds them a sharp andopposing refusal of a life whichmeans ‘no life’.

Concentrating oneself onnecessary destruction and carry itout requires an effort which isbigger than one’s expectations.Expectations determine the stateof permanent immobility andreduce one’s desires of revolt, in amere representation of one’s dailylife.

The intensity of choices that refuseall compromises and attack thelegitimate society, with its codesand values, its uniforms and cops,sets us in conflict with ourenemies, in a refusal of theimposed rules of a civilized livingtogether.

This is total rupture with thoseinstances of pacification, whichwant us to adapt to the current

law and which always placethemselves only on a position ofreactive defence.

To take back one’s life has a deepsignificance in the reality we faceevery day: it is theexperimentation of forms of attackthat free the individual from themorals inside us, by totallyannihilating the authority, whichis no abstract principle but whichis made of ‘flesh and bones’. Inorder to destroy this authority,one must ‘renounce’ anycompliance towards what we feelbelongs to us. ‘Renouncing’ breaksa wall made of social acceptation,discipline, sacred respect forfriendship and life, for refusal ofmaterial and dialectic clash, and itcreates the basis for refusingAuthority and all its acolytes!

With their revolutionary outcomeof negation of dominant values,the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire,with their actions as well ascommuniqués, brings about a newway of understanding the methodof action, no longer based on thedifference among classes but onthe opposition to the ‘classes’.

The actions and communiquésthat arrive at destination give‘propulsive destruction’ to theworld in revolt, and every timethey turn over the stillness thatcreates fear of reaction, and in aperpetual movement, the reactionof ideas, in a leading abandonmentof the revolutionary aspect!

‘We have never acted within theboundaries marked by orthodox socialstruggle that only speak the languageof class struggle and economic analysis,obviously ignoring the individualresponsibility of the representatives ofauthority. We are enemies of both thehand that holds the whip and the backthat accept it passively. That’s why wespeak of revolution in daily life, reversalof compromises and uniqueness of theindividual.’ (CCF)

It destabilizes the way withwhich the members of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire givestrength to what they experiencedwithout being subordinated to theassumption of democratic lawsand to the respect for those who,born poor, want to stay ‘poor’ intheir lives, in a constant trajectory

33

made of superficiality andsubmissiveness: the uniformedmass-appearance is advancinglike a sea of mud, ready to sweepaway all that does not ‘resists’ toit in its viscous vortex.

Albert Caraco wrote: “The world welive in is the Inferno tempered bynothingness, where the man whorefuses to recognize himself prefers toimmolate himself.”

When we face the reality we livein, we have to cope with mainobstacles that are more complexthan we think.

Each one makes choices with theirfree will made of obstacles to pulldown or compromises to accept.

Without being stopped by any‘social container’ whatsoever, theConspiracy of Cells of Fire breakand destabilize the existent ofreactionary calmness.

And they do so also in the so-called anarchist movementeverywhere, showing the ‘way’but not teaching anything,because they ‘do not wantanything’…

In this way a new form ofantisocial and nihilist guerrillabursts out, which does not acceptto be inscribed in a stereotype offake revolutionary feeling by thepedantic university professors ofofficial anarchism and by theenthusiasts of the militancy formilitancy’s sake. A guerrilla thatdetermines its propulsivedestruction in the revolutionaryfield, and which destroys anysocial concept.

Informality transforms its ‘being’into a nihilist attack refusing alluniversal values that sound thesurrounding world, and itoverturns the logic of themass-stereotype that justifies thelaw.

“The law is the spirit of society. Ifsociety has a will, this is the law:society only exists thanks to the law.”Max Stirner

In this, the enemy facing you hasthe same appearance: be it thepoliceman who has a right toarrest you or the democraticcitizen who wants to report you(as he has such a right), they give

the guerrilla a ‘right’ to hit theenemy, denying any requisite orclass belonging.

While the courts of the constitutedorder attack and carry awaywithout flinching, the members ofthe Conspiracy of the Cells of Fireexperiment their action andtotality, their ‘I want’, andoverturn the concept of authority.

This concept creates regressionbecause it uniforms all that waslived, and immobilizes any‘individual’ in a penetrating way,the individual who had grown ina critical way by interiorizing hisexperiences.

Like corrosive acid authority‘dissolves’ all solidarity, and putseveryone on the side of ‘imposedknowledge’.

The essential element increasingthe gap between those whoimpose themselves and those whoare inflicted imposition is a refusalof ‘personal responsibility’ by thedominated individual.

If you don’t take your ownresponsibilities because you wantto get quiet sleep, you go back to avision of sterile defence. Thinkingsubjects become silent subjects.They realize they are not actingand assimilate their thoughts tothose of people with moreexperience, vitality, character (butaccording to some kind ofhierarchy), thus determining theirline of conduct with rules that suitthem.

On the contrary the Conspiracy ofthe Cells of Fire determinethemselves and overturn the roleof specialization and leadershipbecause “Power belongs to man, theworld belongs to man, I belong to man.”(Max Stirner)

The unbridled action against theuniverse made of forced relationswithout a spark of free will is thebase on which all the values of amankind of ‘sleepwalkers’ must bedestroyed.

It is imperative not to give in tothose who believe in the order ofdominion,to knock down thebarriers of common morals, whichsee the ‘exploited’ as a thinkingsubject who changes his values

into their negation, and then, inmass-dominion society, he acceptsand executes the imposed preceptsas if they were part of his life.

If you don’t exasperate thecontradictions you live in, youcreate asphyxiating normality.

Then this affects your choices, andslowly but inevitably it degradesto a sterile defence of your socialspace, and at the first sign ofrepression you just intensify thisdefence.

Dominant normality penetratesdeeply in the choices and positionsthat are taken for the most part.Mental and material borders arecreated, which reproduce whatdominion imposes andcircumscribes in reality as officialculture.

These ‘borders’ come out inrepressive situations, wherereality sink in a sort of emptymemory of a trajectory totallyopposed with what is normality.Radicalism abates and you feellike you are the master of your‘little space’, which you protectwith formal ‘fences’ in order tocarry on your social life. Your ‘life’made of experiences is annihilatedin favour of uniformity of ideas,which creates a vicious circle.

In these conditions everythingbecomes a ‘justification’. The needto adapt to what the historicalperiod requires comes out slowly,and there is no longer a clearperspective of this ‘justification’.

As we choose a trajectory ofvehement radicalism we establishwho our real enemies are.

If you say to me ‘you are avanguardist’ because I chooseaction and refuse to die slowly inan inanition of desires, you are notsaying anything.Those who express their free willin a destructive act decide forthemselves, and when they ‘fall’they go ahead with their headheld high!

‘We are not enrolled soldiers whoseduty is revolution. We are warriors ofsatisfaction and we see the link betweenrebellion and life as a requirement foraction. We don’t believe in any ‘rightline’ to be followed.’

(Conspiracy of Cells of Fire from“The Sun Still Rises”)

Another aspect that emerges inopposition to the worldsurrounding us (and to whatsurrounds the anarchistmovement) is the refusal tosupport the authority not onlythrough ‘silence’ (which should bepart of the DNA of all anarchistsand revolutionaries) but alsothrough the refusal of being filedor photographed.

The strength emerging from theletters of the members capturedand now in the hands of theenemy is something that burstsout in magma of indescribablesensations: the Conspiracymembers refuse to go back onemillimetre as for theirindividuality, and this is noformal refusal.Once again there’s no intention togive in to the respect for theimposed rules and turn one’srefusal and unfortunate ‘fall’ intomaterial for victimising, whichwould only help dominion toestablish what is ‘right’ and what‘wrong’ in a relation ofsubmission.

Coherent with their existence andwithout any authoritarianscheme, the imprisoned membersof the Conspiracy of Cells of Fireissued the pamphlet ‘The Sun StillRises’:

“We love what we did because itcontains our whole essence, sothe ‘Conspiracy’ is not only all ofus but also each one of us.”

The second phase of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire begins:The instruments of knowledge areput in action, instruments thatrefuse vertically structuresorganizations and turn to the freechoice to take one’s responsibilitiesat the time of action and of apossible ‘fall’ in the hands of theenemy.

Informality stays there anddevelops itself through theoreticalbasis without imposition orformal setting.The destructive and propulsiveforce against any democraticinstance also emerges in thesecond phase of the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire.

So any group or individual, in thewake of the first phase of theConspiracy, can use the name thusstopping the assumptions of anyauthoritative seed.Instruments are put at everyone’sdisposal, without any kind ofprofessionalism or moraldictatorship: any cell orindividual can use the ‘passion’unleashed by the Conspiracy ofCells of Fire, take in itsrevolutionary ‘experience’ andattack!

Attack in all its forms can beexpressed with stones or explosivein a flowing up of events!

‘For us, the revolutionary subject is theone who liberates himself from theobligations of the present, put the statusquo into question and takes part in thecriminal search for freedom.’(Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire,from ‘The Sun Still Rises’)

To liberate oneself from theobsession of ‘keeping’ somethingand to live the present and topursue and carry on a trajectorythat ‘attacks’ and does not totter,in front of a life consumed andmade of empty existence, all thisgives effective value to thedestructive attacks carried out bythe Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.

S.G. Necaev wrote: ‘The ruthlesslogic of those who really work for thecause must not stop in front of any factthat leads to the success of this verycause, and especially in front of the factsthat are such that they save it and avoidits ruin.’

‘Not to stop’ in front of vaguecertitudes, not to establish theattenuation of one’s experience,refuse to play the role of victim ofthe ‘system’.

Here the members of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire bringtheir experience.

The field of ‘if’ and ‘but’ is sweptaway by destructive acts carriedout by revolutionary strengththat make any logic of socialadaptation sterile.

The Conspiracy of Cells of Fireemerges, bursts in, attacks andshow its ‘way of being’ to thosewho liberate themselves from thechains of normal and stereotyped

life and choose the field of actionand urban guerrilla.

Each one with their ways andmethods but with a base ofinformal and existentialpeculiarity.

‘It’s a wonderful moment when theattack on order is being carried out. Evenat the beginning – when we knew itwas rather imperceptible – we knew thatvery soon nothing would be as before,no matter what was to happen. It’s aforce that begins slowly, speeds up itsrhythm, goes beyond the no return pointand inevitably causes what seemsimpregnable to explode – so firm andprotected but already prone to fall down,demolished by conflict and disorder.’(Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, ‘TheSun Still Rises’)

A post-scriptum must be writtenso that everyone makes theirevaluations on what makingchoices means in a revolutionaryand solidarity context.

As I’m writing this, I want to saythat I am directly responsible forwhat I am writing, and I take myresponsibilities so that anyindividual can be free of agreeingor not, developing its content andmaking it their own.

This piece of writing talks aboutthe Conspiracy of Cells of Firebecause in their choices, attacksand communiqués they set a newway of understanding the‘guerrilla’. But I want toremember hundreds of informalgroups and single individualswhich destroy the ‘certitude’ ofthe bourgeois thought and that ofsocial pacification!

Revolutionary solidarity with themembers of the Conspiracy of the Cellsof Fire!

Claudio Lavazzabiography

Claudio Lavazza was born onOctober 4, 1954 in the village ofCerro Maggiore near Milan. Fromthe age of 15 he started working asa laborer in the industries ofMilan while participating moreand more in the Autonomia Operaiamovement, actively taking part indemonstrations, marches andmassive fighting clashes withcops. At the beginning of 1978 heco-founded with his closestcomrades the Marxist-Leninistorganization Proletari Armati per ilComunismo-PAC (ArmedProletarians for Communism),which had as a priority thedestruction of prisons andsolidarity with imprisonedcomrades.

The group will perform severalactions against prison guards,prison doctors, etc., culminatingin the release of 2 comrades fromprison Frosinone (southern Italy).Later he will join the CommunistiOrganizzati per Liberazione Proletaria-COLP (Organized Communists forProletarian Liberation). Claudiowill face many arrests, detentionsand convictions for robbery, forreleasing prisoners, abetting inmurders (of a cop and a jeweller),the murder of the prison governorof Udine prison etc., with thelatest court appearances takingplace with Claudio being absent,as from the early 1980s he was onthe run. He continued his strugglein France with new convictionsand arrests following robberiesand a kidnapping until 18December 1996, when he wasarrested in Cordoba (Spain) with3 other comrades (2 Italian and anArgentine), after a bank robberywhich failed after a shoot out withcops, ending up with 2 dead cops,a security guard in a wheelchair,whilst the comrades were heavilywounded.

during the search, and were takento the police headquarters forinterrogation. Later, when theirhouses were invaded andsearched, cops made sure to comeup with more incriminatingevidence. Charged withpossession and transportation ofexplosives, on June 15th they wereincarcerated in San Vittore prison.They were released from pretrialdetention on July 8th, 2011. On hispart, Fede, maintaining the stanceof anti-judicialism, denied any legaldefense in the trial of October10th, 2011. In court, bothcomrades were acquitted of allcharges. Fede, egoist-nihilist,engages himself in the project ofEdizioni Cerbero together withMaurizio De Simone (orabbreviated De mone). Theeditors of Edizioni Cerbero areamong the prosecuted underoperation ‘boldness’ (Ardire),launched by the Italian authoritieson June 13th, 2012. On September1st, 2012, Federico Buonoannounced that he is threatenedwith further prosecution for‘subversive association’ (Article270bis of the Italian CriminalCode) under a new repressiveoperation called Thor regardingdirect actions that took place inthe city of Ravenna.

The Cordoba Four

The Malaga court of appealsentenced the anarchists GiovaniBarcia, Michele Pontolillo andClaudio Lavazza, alreadysentenced to 11 years onSeptember 1999, for an incident inthe Italian vice-consulate inDecember 1996. Three personswearing balaclavas imprisonedthe consul and an employee,sending a message of solidarity tothe Italian prisoners jailed by theJudge Marini (the judge whobuilt a false accusation againstItalian anarchists), then theyescaped with passports and somemoney. These three Italians wereconvicted of this, as well as aprevious bank robbery withsentences of 49 years for Claudio,48 years for Giorgio and Giovani,3 years for Michele (who has sincebeen released).

Being accused for the robbery inCordoba and 8 others which tookplace in southern Spain he wassentenced to 50 years ofimprisonment (with the totalpenalty of the 4 comrades being134 years) and has been detainedat the special solitary FIES(isolation units) of Spain, while 27years in Italy and 30 more inFrance are waiting for him to beserved.

At the trial of his case he stated:“... I have no intention to justify myactions in this room, your opinions donot interest me at all, nor your decision,I do not want any contract (orcompromises, your choice) with myenemies, nor do I want to apologize tothe “public opinion”, the same thatwatches and tolerates the daily miseryand the annihilation of thousands ofpeople, but resents the death of twopolice women and when we shoot itthinks we are killers and when thepolice kills it says that “justice is takingplace....”

Calling himself an insurrectionalanarchist now, Claudio keepshaving all these years acombative attitude which costshim months of isolation,disciplinary transfers, etc., but healso contributes with his writingsto the development of theanarcho-insurrectionary

ClaudioLavazza

Claudioresponded viapersonal letter tothe internationalcall of solidarityof the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire,welcoming and supporting theimprisoned comrades. Whilebeing imprisoned he has writtenhis autobiography, which is hiscontribution to internationalsolidarity projects/movementslike this one, and is alreadypublished in Spanish. For thisbooklet Claudio wrote to us thatwe could use any piece of ourchoice selected from his book. Webelieve that the best way topromote international solidarityand anarchist insurrection is to

publish all the autobiography ofthe comrade in Greek! It’s alengthy project that somecompanions are working on, andwe look forward to its release.

Italy: Letter fromEdizioni Cerbero &Parole Armate

In solidarity with the authors ofthe attempted escape fromKorydallos prison

“Today we tried to do something. Togain our freedom and the continuation ofurban warfare. We lost a battle, but wehave not lost the war and continue tofight to win. We are an organizationthat fights for the ideals of a free lifewithout any authority.”Christos Tsakalos

What better approach to anupcoming trial than the attemptto regain a freedom taken away bythe state, without regard for theestablished times of the judicialroutine? Why not reaffirm onceagain, in an effort to escape fromprison, one’s own irreducibleindividuality, betraying the role ofthe automaton prisoner? Thepassion for freedom burns inevery rebel heart as a fire thatrages strong and proudly.Impossible to stop, it grows moreand more. Unarrestable.

Inside, as outside in the past, someof the comrades of the Conspiracyof Cells of Fire, protagonists of theescape attempt of 13 Decemberfrom the high-security prison ofKorydallos, reiterated theirindomitable will to face in persontheir torturers. Acting in this way,this time with the valuable andtimely support of the prisoner P.Vlastos, who was apparentlydecided to make good on his need

to escape, they have once againdemonstrated their radical anddeep-rooted self-determination,aware of their skills and positions,showing once again their incom-patibility with the normality ofprison.

Perhaps now the jailers who wereheld hostage for hours have beengiven an idea of what it can meanto be deprived of freedom, sharinga fate that is addressed by dozensof decent prisoners, daily kid-napped in the prison cells ofKorydallos. Direct action insteadof reeducation and reinsertion, theboldness and the will for counter-attacking instead of compromise.

Reject, then, every compromise,every attempt of re-positioninginside society, and act by allmeans for its total downfall. Todeny total perquisitions and thehumiliations perpetrated byjailers, to react to the constantattack of the penitentiary systemand its agents, to spurn the wholejudicial apparatus, to organizeand to effect an escape, armingoneself and holding hostages. Tosow Terror in the assuredness ofthose who, like the jailers, thoughtthey could continue toundisturbedly torture free indi-viduals even though locked-up inthe cages of society, and moregenerally in the assuredness ofthose who bow their heads, gladto be and to remain willing slavesin the service of the Capital and itsmetropolises.

Here is the demonstration thateven prison cannot eradicate thedeeply illegalist attitude of anindividual who doesn’t meethalfway with anyone, aware ofher own actions and of thethoughts behind them. Consciousof the fact that he doesn’t have towait for permission to take whathe wants, knowing that she has todo it alone, with violence andnihilism.

To everyone who continues tofight for liberation in spite of alladversity

Tuesday December 31, 1996 – Theassault approached from the sky,the propellers resounding andstronger than usual. Yes, there isno doubt that they’re coming tothe rescue, the sound of the rifleshots makes one forget that of thepropellers. The bullets hit againstthe structure of the cold walls,against the executioners in thetowers. The ones who will shootto kill anyone trying achieve theirfreedom.

During an international anarchistcampaign of solidarity with thestruggles of the prisoners againstthe FIES regime, which took placein 2000 with several incendiaryand explosive attacks (eg. Failedbomb explosion at the cathedralof Milan), but mainly with parcelsbombs sent to judges andreporters, Claudio was targetedfor repression as the “instigator”and the “mind” of the actions.

Power’s justice, making justice bytheir own hands. Among thesefour comrades there was onecomrade of anti-authoritarianessence. One who his own com-rades recognized as “anarchist.”Ricardo Palma Salamanca - “TheBlack,” who recognized the brav-ery of Severino Di Giovanni, whoalways disdained the tricolor flag.But in spite of this he joined theFPMR. He wanted to be part of thewar against the tyranny ofPinochet and being a youthwithout weapons nor means, hedecided to join the only option hehad. It was what there was at thattime, and he did not think twice intaking to the armed struggle. “TheBlack” is still on the run, like manycomrades who due to their deci-sion to struggle have orders ofsearch and capture over them.

Monday December 12, 2011 -Korydallos prison, visiting hour.That space of meeting with yourloved ones, with the “outside,”with the life that you decided tocarry out. That life that they seekto annihilate, because it is notwhat the TV sells, but it’s insteada threat to order, a threat againstthe existent. A pistol and someknives, but the strongest weaponis the conviction that the “crimes”for which you ended up in prisonwere necessary.

Acts of war launched from theanonymity of the CCF; acts of warfrom the prison with your namesand faces in plain view. Therelatives did not collaborate withthe executioners.

You advance firmly ahead withthe jailers as hostages, how ironicthat the hunted are the hunters.

You overcome several doors,there’s only one left, but a jailerpresses the emergency button andthe doors close. Now the release ofthe hostages is negotiated. Theshouts go from one side to theother. The rebels do not trade, theoppressors don’t budge.

The battle is lost, but not the war.There will be another chance. Youhand over the hostages but you donot surrender. Days later andwithout respect for the judge, one

of you raises his voice to say “theywill rush to speak of failure. Our escapehas been successful. We have escapedfrom the defeatism of accepting our roleas prisoners.”

The CCF continues, more alivethan ever. A fact that leaves no oneindifferent. Receiving the news ona visiting day dislocated me, itwas an inexplicable feeling. Manyquestions, few answers, there wasonly what the press said. Even mymother regrets that they do notallow me to leave, for her it’s themost horrible place that she neverwants to visit again.

After a year full of offensiveagainst Dominion, from $hile toGreece, we cannot forget anycomrade in prison, we must letthem know that they are notalone, the same must happen withthose who go without leavingtraces being more astute thantheir hunters, those who in spiteof being far from the cages live in acaptivity that is mental, imposedby not being able to live their livesas they would have forged them,not in the same way nor with thesame people or animals. For eachprisoner and fugitive who fightsfor total liberation, in whateverpart of the world, know that youare not alone.

Nothing is over, everythingcontinues!

Nothing and no one is forgotten!

Prisoners and fugitives of war,present in every act of revolt!

from how it was planned up to hisflight.

Chile: Greetingsfrom Sin BanderasNi Fronteras to CCF

A salute to the indomitable beastsof the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire

By means of this brief text wewish to give a greeting of solidar-ity to the prisoners of the Con-spiracy of Cells of Fire, especiallyto those who tried to escape fromthe Korydallos prison in Greece.We also want to reflect on somethemes and remind about otherbeautiful escapes.

The lawyer or the escape?

An individual decision that weshould respect.

In spite of the impositions of thepowerful, life continues to be aterrain of action in which we canchoose the means to liberateourselves, whether in the streetsor behind bars. Whether to choosea lawyer in order to get out of theclutches of the State or to seekother means to do it is a choicethat each comrade can evaluateand decide individually.

We begin from the basis that thestruggle against power exceeds alllegality and, as such, we areenemies of all laws, these beingimpositions of authority, anattempt against our individualself-determination. Nevertheless,we believe that a comrade whochooses the “legal way” of alawyer does not become a reform-ist nor sells herself to the enemy.Neither does the comrade whogoes to the market to buy a pair ofshoes, even though consumptionand money are one of the pillars ofcapitalism. It is a complex theme,but it is necessary to understandthat we live in a society that weyearn to destroy but that weinteract with it in different aspectsof our life every moment. Withrespect to the incarceration ofcomrades, we believe that theyhave the ability to decide howthey want to get out of prison, aslong as they don’t betray othercomrades nor become servants ofthe enemy, it is always better for

38

comrades to be fighting in thestreet and not be kept under lockand key.

In the same manner, the choice ofother comrades who decide to notmake deals with legality meritsour deepest respect and solidarity,refusing to testify before thejudges or trying to escape from theenemy’s cages. Their choice is alsovalid, though tremendouslydifficult to carry out.

Therefore we especially value thecourage of the comrades who bymeans of cunning or force try toescape from prison or have es-caped from the clutches of theenemy. It is for this reason thattoday we salute the Greek prison-ers belonging to the RevolutionaryOrganization Conspiracy of Cellsof Fire, especially the brothersMihalis and Giorgos Nikolopolus,Christos Tsakalos and GiorgiosPolydoros who tried to escapefrom prison on December 12thwith the prisoner PanagiotisVlastos during visiting hours. Wealso value the attitude of thefamily members who visited theirother prisoners and who refusedto speak against the comrades.

This time they did not escape, buttheir indomitable attitude andtheir anarchist ideas are whatfamiliarize us in spite of the bars,the distance and the language, andare what call us to not stay silent.They have acted in solidarity withthe anti-authoritarian offensive inChile and also with prisoners inother countries. And since anar-chist solidarity is mutual aid andreciprocity, we do not leave themalone either.

Against forgetting and silencing:some escapes to remember.

Each empty cell is reason for joy,above all if it is the cell that cageda revolutionary. Here in Chile,December 30 marks 15 years sincethe spectacular escape of fourprisoners of the Marxist-Leninisturban guerrilla organizationManuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front,who helped by some comradesescaped in 1996 in a helicopterthat fired barrages of bullets at thegendarmes of the High Security

Prison, the most secure prison inChile built during the democracyin order to cage subversive pris-oners. One of them, MauricioHernández Norambuena, knownas “Comandante Ramiro,” contin-ued to fight after his escape and iscurrently held in Brazil afterkidnapping in 2002 a businessmanwith an “Internationalist Com-mand,” an action in which, amongother combatants, KarinoGermano, known as “la Galle”was captured; she is today pris-oner of the Argentine State asconsequence of that action. Ofcourse, we do not share theirMarxist-Leninist ideas, but werespect them for being combatantsconsistent with their conception ofrevolution.

Ten years after the helicopterescape in Chile, but in Greece, theanarchist prisoner VassilisPaleokostas escaped in June 2006by means of a helicopter, helpedby comrades. Vassilis Paleokostasand his brother Nikkos are tworebels with a great career inGreece, who since the 1980’s havecarried out successful expropria-tions of banks and numerousescapes from danger, making a foolof the enemy on numerous occa-sions. Captured in 2008, Vassilisescaped again in February 2009once again by helicopter, mockingthe security of the same prisonthat he had escaped in 2006.

Finally, we also want to rememberthe successful escape from thePunta Carretas prison in Uruguay,when in March of 1931, the com-rades Miguel Arcángel Roscigna,Gino Gatti, Andrés VázquezParedes, José Manuel Paz, andFernando Malvicini (comrade ofSeverino Di Giovanni) carried outthe final phase of the escape thathad been thought up to liberatethe comrade Vicente Moretti andthree Catalan anarchists (JaimeTadeo Peña, Agustín GarciaCapdevilla, Pedro Boadas Rivas,accused of being responsible formore than 100 bombing attemptsin Barcelona). In August of 1929the comrades set up a coal yard infront of the prison in order tojustify the tools they used and theearth they extracted to create atunnel into the prison. Along the

tunnel, the comrades who exca-vated it had also left a placardwhich read “Solidarity betweenanarchists is not a mere writtenword.” The imprisoned comradesand five “common” prisonersmanaged to escape through thattunnel. Decades later, in 1971, thatsame tunnel allowed more thanone hundred Uruguayan Leninistguerrillas of the TupamarosNational Liberation Army toescape from the same prison, inwhat apparently has been themost numerous escape recordedup to the present.

A salute to those who have flownaway…

To conclude, we salute all thecomrades around the world whoare evading the clutches of power,leaving behind empty cells andunrealized trials. We especiallysend a strong embrace to thecomrade Diego Ríos and to thecomrade Gabriela Curilem, whohave made public their decision togo underground as a consequenceof the arrest orders leveled againstthem. They are warriors, and inspite of whether have met them ornot, the ideas they have expressedin their communiques made uscomrades and call us not toabandon them, to make them feelpresent in the struggle that unitesus.

Greetings to all the comrades whofight in the street, in the prison or

out of the shadows. Againstisolation, forgetting and silence.

Active and international solidaritywith the comrades imprisonedand persecuted by power.

UK: Solidarity letterfor CCF andTheofilosMavropoulos“A stone will be thrown at the State,and a stone will be thrown at thechurches” Kode9 – 9 Samurai

From the burning streets ofLondon, Bristol, Nottingham,Manchester, Birmingham anddozens of other places, urban rageexplodes with action and speech.Social peace is shattered by therepressed anger of thousands ofindividuals, united by anti-policeand anti-system violence. Themodern British project of theperfectly ordered prison-societyrun by the police and the politi-cians is shattered, no-one caresabout the CCTV anymore and thepigs are being beaten, attackedand running away. This is a war,and only the start of it, let theirranks and divisions of police andintelligence teams come, thecollapse of society has begun andthe choice is resignation to mod-ern fascism or insurrection.

The imprisoned members of theRevolutionary Organisation –Conspiracy of Cells of Fire andTheofilos Mavropoulos have ourirreducible solidarity and anar-chist friendship. They are some ofthe courageous and resoluteindividuals who have actedagainst the capitalist and govern-mental parasites and their func-tionaries, helping create theformation of an internationalinsurrectional network of whichthey are an integral part.

The fire they have started is thesame fury as the blaze of August,and exists around the worldregardless of any anti-terroristoperations and secret servicemaneuvers to dampen it, becausethis is the beginning of the end forthe capitalist-dominator socialmodel. It doesn’t matter if we, theinsurgents, are in prison, maimed,dead – our ideas and our actionslive in the inferno of freedomwhere new generations of con-scious individuals ignite them-selves to attack the dominating

elites, their servants and thereproductive aspects and values ofservility. It is not only in thedreams of the few, it’s in the dailythoughts of the used and deni-grated, all those who didn’t yetlearn to love work and authority.

The only intelligent way to reactto the prison-world is to try toescape, and in this time of repres-sion and war, the only real way isto take weapons and fight for yourfreedom.

The rebels in UK have come into anihilistic fervour, with almost noparticipation in, or interventionfrom, the progressive-left activist/anarchist racket. There is zeroanticipation that there will be any“social change” from the estab-lished regime, only unendingeconomic misery and urbanprison; but without the trappingsof ideology, revolutionary andanarchistic principles are the firstspoken from many lips whengiven time to express their ideasand question the existent order.

The antagonistic trends here arethose most at risk of exploitation,imprisonment and police brutal-ity: young people/teens, migrants/the different, the “anti-social”, theexcluded and rebellious. 325 isproud to be some of the “scum” onthose streets during August,despite the repression and theacceleration of fascism this coun-try was ripped into. We, therioters, ruined the facade of socialpeace. As the world of the oldbigots crumbles, the British dreamof an imperial paradise descendsinto the urban estate reality of avast chaotic mess. The insurrec-tion, which of course was not a‘utopia’, did not finish in August.Even in the shithole deadzoneplaces, such as Cambridge, youcould find unexpected incidents ofanti-social arson, such as a cardealership going up in flames in awealthy area claimed by Fire Cell/ FAI. In Birmingham, a policestation is burnt down and 40-50people attack the police withmolotovs, stones and handguns. InNottingham, four police stationsare attacked with stones and onewith molotovs, and later Cell ofJoy / FAI take responsibility for an

arson attack against a vehicle ofthe prison guards at the localprison. In Bristol, the personalcars of the mayor and of a rulingparty politician are set on fireoutside their homes and claimedby Class Terror / FAI. In London,the Sony Warehouse coveringhundreds of square metres islooted and reduced to ashes. Theseare some incidents/momentswhere anti-political people ex-claimed they had “the best days oftheir life” and seek future chances,co-conspirators and more.

Not guessing when there will beanother uprising, we don’t wait,but the certainty of another isclear. An entire section of thepopulation cannot be pushedmuch further and the divisionsare deep. The plunder and injus-tice is too blatant, unapologetic,without even the pretence of‘social conscience’ and it is intoler-able.

August was unimaginable a fewyears ago and now anything canhappen. The best days of our livesare to be had. With knives anddreams, pistols and pens, wereload our magazine and prepareto return fire…

Presentation of self-organizedinternationalinternet andpublishing projectsof counter-information

If today anarchists from aroundthe world can connect, sharematters, spread imperatives,create informal networks ofaction, is surely because of thework of many comrades whothrough many self-organizedinternational internet andpublishing projects havemanaged to create channels ofcommunication betweenprisoners of different countries,between direct action groups,while at the same time theyprovide information for thedevelopments happening in theinternational circles of anarchists.

In the general atmosphere oflethargy caused by the overloadof information on the internet,these projects have managed toraise bridges between anarchistsof praxis from around the world,who might have never met orwho will never meet. Somethingwhich has contributed to thediffusion of so much of theanarchist perception as well asthe anarchist direct action. Thedevelopment and expansion of theInformal Anarchist Federationand the InternationalRevolutionary Front is also to agreat degree because of thework of comrades who bytranslating and publishing textsand communiques of prisonersand groups, contributed to thepromotion of this informallyorganized model of action.

At this moment a large dynamicis being developed through theinternet. Groups are in a positionto open topics for dialogue,prisoners can share experiencesand perceptions, all this whilethey happen to be thousands ofkilometres away from each other.The distance evaporates, language

ceases to be an obstacle andborders are abolished in practise.We therefore could not butconsider it substantial, thecontribution of these attempts inthe spreading and promotion ofinternational insubordinationand mutiny.

Without their help thepublication of this brochurewould be much more difficult,since thanks to their valuablecontributions all the texts weretranslated and edited in Greek.

A big thank you therefore toContraInfo, Actforfreedomnow/boubourAs, Entropia Ediciones,Parole Armate, Culmine, This isOur Job, Viva La Anarquia, Waron Society, Conspiration Acrata,325, Black Blog Collective andEdizioni Cerbero for their helpand contribution with texts inthis publication.

Letter fromContra-Info

Towards an informationalguerrilla; till all prisons aredemolished; till freedom andanarchy

Contra Info, a translation counter-information network, addressesan open invitation to comradeswishing to coordinate themultidisciplinary project oftranslations, networking anddissemination of news frommovements across the world,from/in various languages.

The fires of resistance in thecentres and peripheries of thecapitalist world continue to grow;thus, all counter-informationmeans must be strengthenedworldwide to meet the needs oflocal movements, standing an-tagonistically against the propa-ganda of the regime’s media that

serve the global Power.

Contra Info network never in-tended to compete existing multi-lingual projects that act with ananarchist/ anti-authoritarian/libertarian perspective, but ratherto complement active radical andmilitant counter-informationmeans by offering its multilingualinfrastructure to social strugglesand standing in solidarity withany rebellious person.

In this context, we perceive theconsistent support to the networkby our comrades of the Con-spiracy of Cells of Fire not only asa contribution to the revolution-ary cause of the Informal Anar-chist Federation and the Interna-tional Revolutionary Front, butalso as factual solidarity with thediffusion of the polymorphousstruggle of the oppressed andinsurgents in the world, withoutrestrictions, sectarianisms orexclusions.

Solidarity. Reciprocal solidarityamongst dignified fighters obvi-ously neither ends with thisbrochure, nor with existingundertakings. For every wirelessoperator who tries to contributeto the ceaseless fight for individualand social liberation, this publish-ing initiative of the R.O. CCF goesone step further into the complic-ity with revolutionary causes. Itmarks a break with the world ofPower, a rupture which echoesbeyond walls and borders, inspir-ing praxis of counterattack,generating revolutionary dis-course in all untamed hearts.

As for the persecutors, the human-guards, the terror-addicts and allkinds of lackeys of the Dominance:

Howeverwhen it came to showingsolidarity and actionscoordinated with prisoners incommunities, he exceededideological contradictions to takeaction. To us, solidarity is not aslogan printed on a pamphlet, noris it an action that should beundertaken only in defence.Propaganda is not just ink on asheet.

Why “Entropy”?In chemistry, entropy is aproperty that lets you know howmuch energy can not be used dueto scattering by the chaos. Theentropy increases if disorderincreases. This project, thiseditorial, this game, this mess,this chaos, this entropy, isallowing us to divert the energythat we waste every day in ourclassrooms and in our offices, toredirect it into something thatgives us more pleasure.Generating chaos is our routine toreclaim our lives, if only for amoment. We did not consideranything serious, no major long-term goal or chains that we endup feeling like we do in our jobs orhouses of study. While werecognize no dates or times, thatdoes not mean that we have nocommitment or not do our partwhen we address new projects.We have no ties to this newinstance of creation, destruction,deconstruction and construction,what do we do when the needarises and when you set theaffinity as the norm. We are free,spontaneous and wild.

What sense does it make texts tobe read, if most of the time theyare not to be stored or distributedever, or reread? This is perhapsthe most raw and necessaryquestion that today we must askwho declare ourselves nihilists,anarchists, anti-authoritarians,subversives, rebels andrevolutionaries in general. Andnot in the literal sense of thequestion. Is an example: What isthe point to rebel against thesystem? Do you think you candestroy this mega-machine? We

“Through human communication andcooperation everyone finds out moreabout themself and at the same timeabout those around them.” CCF

We start from here, from the firmconviction that the sharing ofexperiences and reflections ofaffinity is an unavoidable momentof the continuous attack againstthe existent. It is exactly thismoment, and not an empty inter-nationalism of mere facade, thatbreaks down the tyranny of spaceand time, allowing the spread ofactions, thoughts and suggestions,in spite of geographic and linguis-tic obstacles. We don’t hesitate toexpress the wonder that struck usduring the last year, seeing theformation of a constellation,whose genesis is autonomous andself-determined, of individualities,sometimes united in groups withor without a name, conscious ofthe power of their own innerchaos. With a growing frequency,we are approached with invita-tions to reflexion, technical sug-gestions to act, theoretical andpractical speculations, but aboveall with a tangible will of coopera-tion, without any dogmatism or apre-determined direction, withthe end of weaving a really poly-phonic discourse.

Why ParoleArmate?

Operation ArdireAt 4 o’clock in the morning of June13th, 2012, the paramilitary policeof the Special Operations Group(Raggruppamento OperativoSpeciale, ROS) raided aroundforty homes, implementing the so-called ‘Operazione Ardire’(Operation Boldness), a crack-down against people from theanarchist movement ordered byManuela Comodi, publicprosecutor of Perugia. A total of 10arrest warrants were issued -eight within Italy, one sent toGermany and one sent toSwitzerland (to comradesGabriel Pombo da Silva andMarco Camenisch) - while 24suspects have been placed underjudicial investigation. (amongthem are the imprisonedcomrades of CCF in Greece).The investigations included thehomes of the comrades that“functioned” the blog Culminewho are arrested and imprisonedand as well those of ParoleArmate, one of whom is arrested

order to let dominion taste theirrevenge. Above all, it is the wordswhich find confirmation in actionthat arouse our greatest interest,those words that, equippedsometimes with an imaginativecharacter, are able to escape fromthe ordinariness of everyday life,opening in this way unexpectedapertures and causing irremedi-able breaches in the lives of thosewho have the will to make themtheir own. It is these words thatwe translate with enthusiasm,that we try to spread throughchannels we feel affinity with,considering these as fundamentalexperiences in the spreading of theabove-mentioned texts. We tookthe initiative once again, naturallywith different times and methods,ready to advance in our path,firmer than before in not waitingfor someone else to realize whatwe believe useful, but realizingnow what we want to do.

“We must be disciplined with ourselvesbecause technology and information arealso viruses that can ensnare us andthreaten to absorb us into their ownstratagem in which we end up replicat-ing a cybernetic version of reality.”325 / Anti-Copyright Network

We subscribe completely to whatthe few lines quoted above say,aware of what risks we take, butyet with serious conviction to givespace to words that, through time,have become weapons, armedwords, and that therefore areundoubtedly part of the arsenal ofevery sincere destroyer of thepresent world. Words that havesublimated theircondition, irreversibly fusingthemselves with action, escapingfrom a content that is merelyinformative and sterilelyaggregative. Those words thatwith scorn and anger distancethemselves from the consensusinherent in the society that im-prisons us, words that withdignity and pride convey mes-sages of total war, that maximizethe destructive character of theaction of the one “who after a long,gasping and desperate search hasretrieved his own self and hasplaced it, haughty and proud ‘onthe margins of the society’, deny-ing anything the right to judge it”

(Renzo Novatore), and that returnto the individual her or his entireoffensive range.

“The State cannot forbear the claim todetermine the individual’s will, tospeculate and count on this. For theState it is indispensable that nobodyhave an own will; if one had, the Statewould have to exclude (lock up, banish,etc.) this one; if all had, they would doaway with the State.” Max Stirner

ParoleArmate aims to be a spaceof discussion, translation andpropagation of texts of consideredaffinity. The primary aim is toshare publications, of any form,which we believe are necessary toadd to the already-existing collec-tion of reflections. We will con-tinue the activity of translatingclaims, letters and insightsthrough the consolidated channelsof affinity and those that we hopewill be born and that will provethemselves. With the aim oftranslating not only text, but alsotheory in practise, being aware ofthe dangerousness of our decisionand of using it to strike with allour strength what oppresses us,crushing every logic of power overthe individual and locating our-selves in fierce conflict with theexistent. This project is the resultof the will of some anarchistindividualities who refuse theconcept of a formal editorialgroup, and instead invite to themost total and informal collabora-tion all who are interested in thisproject and offer their own contri-bution to the realization of even-tual editorial project affinities thatwe fiercely hope are materializedoutside of the virtual context.

Also we take this opportunity topropose a reading that escapesfrom its normal conception, fleeingfrom the perspective of the passivereader through the interpretationand use of the texts how, whenand to whatever extent onewishes, giving to the proper Selfthe task of decoding, so that itbranches in the preferred direc-tion, thus taking the materialconsidered necessary for theconstruction of one’s own arsenalof war.

Letter from This IsOur Job

This Is Our Job actually derives itsname from an open lettercirculated at AlexandrosGrigoropoulos’ funeral. In thatletter, a young insurgent wasattempting to explain to herparents why she had thrownherself so vigorously into thestreet clashes fueling theDecember 2008 uprising. I’mparaphrasing here, since no longerhave a copy of the letter, but themain thrust was something to theeffect of: “I love you and I understandwhy you do your jobs. But this is myjob.”

It was an elegant, subversive,deeply moving idea: attacking thebrutal infrastructure ofdomination was no less valid a“job” than working in an office, astore, a restaurant, or wherever.At the time, I was an anarchist insearch of an outlet through whichto apply my own anarchism, andthe Greek uprising opened myeyes to the decentralized,antiauthoritarian, highly ethicalinsurgency rearing its head notjust in Greece, but also in Spain,Chile, Mexico, and elsewhere. Ibegan to translate reports ofvarious attacks, as well as theaccompanying communiquéswritten by the insurgentsthemselves, and that’s how This IsOur Job was born.

I have no knowledge of the Greeklanguage, so at the outset I wasmainly translating communiquésand letters from insurrectionistsand prisoners in Spain and LatinAmerica. It wasn’t until Spanishtranslations of certain Fire CellsConspiracy communiqués andother Greek insurrectionary newsbegan to appear online that I wasable to devote more attention tothe Greek milieu by translatingthose Spanish translations into

English. Apart from Act forFreedom Now!, no one else wasreally bothering to translateprimary Greek insurrectionarysource material into English, and Iwas excited to be able to applymyself to the task.

Now, with the emergence of othercounterinformational websitesthat are picking up much of theslack regarding the translation ofinsurrectionary texts from Spainand Latin America, This Is Our Jobhas been freed up to focus almostexclusively on Greece, specificallyon the Fire Cells Conspiracy. Atpresent, this involves translatingmany of the letters andcommuniqués written byimprisoned members, and well askeeping up-to-date with trialnews and the ever-changingprison addresses of the differentcomrades. As a parallel project tothe website, I’ve also beentranslating the complete Fire CellsConspiracy communiqués intoEnglish to be released—fullyannotated—in book form at somepoint, and that project is slowlybut surely nearing completion.

The Fire Cells Conspiracyultimately fascinated me becauseof the cogent, earnest quality oftheir rhetoric. They wereadvancing anarchismtheoretically, but in a dynamicallyexciting way, and their theorywas alloyed to theauthoritativeness of theirattacking practice. Additionally,they furthered a notion ofurbanism that posited the modernmetropolis—massified, alienating,vapid, consumptive—as the mostappropriate locus point ofdestruction.

While it’s true that one couldeasily criticize certain Fire CellsConspiracy attacks as beingquestionable regarding targetselection, and others as being tooconcerned with spectacle and ego-gratification, those criticismsnevertheless gel with a keytheoretical concept contributed bythe Fire Cells Conspiracy itself—that of contradiction. To demandabsolute perfection of praxis fromrevolutionaries is to demand

and another one underinvestigation. Cops raided more“administrators” of the counterinformation blogs - Inform–Azione, making clear that theoperation targeted the means ofcounter information used byanarchists in Italy andworldwide.

These arrests had a result (fornow) of culmine.noblogs.org andiconoclasta.noblogs.org notbeing updated, as the“administrators” are in custodyever since. Italian media linkedthe arrests with FAI / FRI.The 8 comrades arrested in Italyin cities Pisa, Perugia, Roma,Genoa and Terni are still incustody. To contact them:

Letter from Viva LaAnarquia

A very powerful flame was bornin Greece: attempts, actions,attacks, communiques, reflections,analyses… A flame whichproduces arsons all around theworld. There where sovereigndemocracy continues to steal andexploit our lives, where thecivilization devalues more andmore the non-human animals andthe land into a simple product,where repulsive and autarchicpeople want to fill their pocketswith money and want to be theowners of the world, theConspiracy Cells of Fire, an urbanguerrilla group in Greece, with aspark lights up the dark parts ofour path towards freedom.

A spark which is not onlycontagious!

The comrades of the revolutionaryorganization C.C.F. wereimprisoned after the firstrepressive operation in 2009, someafter the mass sending of parcelbombs to different embassies, anincident of global impact throughthe mass media, while monthslater the other members werearrested, but not beforedetonating a trapped motorbike infront of the administrative courtof Athens, where dozens of carsand the front of the building wereshattered in an explosion worthyof the comrades.

The temperature rises; the suncontinues to heat up!

something inhuman, because it isour individual humanimperfections that will alwaysreveal themselves when weendeavor to be trulyrevolutionary in our choices.What counts is the praxis itself,the consistency and continuity oftheory and practice that satisfiestwo other key concepts broughtback into the theoretical fold bythe Fire Cells Conspiracy—dignityand conscience.

It is through the accent on dignityand conscience that we leavebehind the notion that revolutionis somehow about others,something that takes place outsideourselves. The discourse of the FireCells Conspiracy repeatedlydemonstrates that in fact theopposite is true. As expressed sosuccinctly by Panayiotis Argyrou:“Revolution is an existential struggle.”To antiauthoritarians, revolutionis that part of our individual livesthat fortifies our sense of dignityand allows us to live more inkeeping with our conscience. Forsome, that may involve becomingfull-on urban guerrillas. Forothers, it may involve somethingelse entirely. But the overallconcept holds regardless of theway it is manifested, and that isprecisely why the insurrectionarycurrent is indeed so refreshinglypolymorphic, as the jargonmaintains.

This Is Our Job is now one of thehandful of counterinformationalresources through which cells ofthe Informal AnarchistFederation/InternationalRevolutionary Front cancommunicate openly with oneanother and with anyone else whohappens to be paying attention.While that certainly wasn’t theintent from the outset, I mustadmit that it is a happy by-product of the project. As theglobal antiauthoritarianinsurgency spreads andintensifies, those of us trying tokeep the lines of communicationopen may one day find ourselvesin the crosshairs of repression,just like our comrades carryingout actions in the streets. But ourchronicling is in many ways the

Prison was not the end for thosewho did not give up, theirwritings and their contribution tothe war against dominationcontinue; this way they address acall towards the prisoners withconviction globally, and theimprisoned comrades in differentprisons did not hesitate to answer,publically stating their support tothe comrades of the CCF and to theinitiative they promote throughthis call. Some of these texts werepublished on our page, but thiswas not our final intention, sincewe wanted to keep the best forthis collection.

Throwing wood into the fire!

From this internet space wesupport the spreading of anarchistideas and their application inpractice. Using therefore a toolsuch as the Internet, we set upwhat you know as Viva LaAnarquia. About two years agowe started to translate actionswhich took place in the territorycalled Greece, echoing thus in thiscorner of the world the actionscarried out by the insurrectionistsof this land, that’s why we werepleased and moved by the factthat the comrades mentioned us insome of their communiques-weknew that they were vigilant overthere, since we had read ananalysis in their firstcommuniques concerning thesituation in Argentina and thecitizen insurrection in 2001.

Our aim is to continue to sharethings with those who want toread, write, laugh, cry, think,translate and interpret,contribute, re-enforce, dream,imagine and act. This idea resultsfrom the eagerness we feel tomaterialize one of the many ideaswe have, and we do notsympathize with the opinion ofsome fake critics who havecharacterized us as internetactivists. Anyway, they are fewcompared to the many thatsupport us and prompt us tocontinue in every way thesedifficult times.

No one is alone in this war,against authority in all of its

very least we can do to supportperhaps the most vital andmisunderstood current withincontemporary anarchism, so wekeep at it. This is our job, after all.

Letter from War onSociety

War On Society is a project oftranslation and counter-informa-tion whose name comes from adeclaration by Joseph Dejaque:“Forward everyone! And with arms andheart, word and pen, dagger and gun,irony and curse, theft, poisoning andarson, let’s make… war on society!”For us, as for Dejaque, words areone type of weapon in the rebel’sarsenal, no more or less importantthan the others, since they allmutually strengthen a project oflife in rebellion against society.

This project was initiated from adesire to add another bridge forcommunication across bordersand languages on an internationalscale between others with whomwe can feel affinity in spite of allthe distances and walls betweenus. In particular, one of our aimshas been to strengthen interna-tional initiatives of action andsolidarity. It is a joy to participatein allowing words from Chilereach the shores of the Mediterra-nean, to see the multiplication ofsolidarity actions from Seattle toAthens, from San Francisco toSantiago and back, to feel (in thebetter moments) the strengthen-ing of an international conspiracyfor revenge against the wretchedorder that has tried and tries atevery turn to force us back intothe daily rituals of slavery andsubmission.

Letter fromConspiración Acrata

Conspiración Acrata is an insur-rectional anarchist publication ofaffinity, of the InsurrectionalAnarchist Tendency. This publica-tion, an anarchist project that wasborn about three years ago, wasthe result of an analysis thatculminated with the necessity tocreate and maintain a printed andelectronic media for the diffusionof the theoretical/ideological partof insurrectional anarchism andanarchism of action, which inthose moments and in these landswas little available. And above all,very little understood by theanarchist majority, even whenthere were already insurrectionaland animal liberation actionsbeing carried out.

Another of the necessities forstarting this publication was thediffusion of the many actionsagainst the State/Capital thatwere happening in Mexico and theworld. And that was one of ourgoals, to compile the actions ofsabotage that anarchist groupswere carrying out in those mo-ments.

Little by little we have beensorting through the history that isat our reach, investigating our-selves and with support ofcompañer@s we have tried toreconstruct parts of our past,forgotten and often buried by ourdetractors, this is important to usbecause the actions directedtowards the destruction of theState/Capital are not just a pass-ing fashion. Individual-collectivesabotage, and moments of collec-tive revolutionary violence whichendin the destruction of the State-generalised insurrection- is atendency that always has beenand always will be present inAnarchism, as much as the widesectors of the “revolutionary” leftwant to democratize it, pacify it,

phases, stages and sizes, this iswhy it is vital to support and notabandon our comrades who havebeen abducted and beaten by thestate. Our aim is not only tosupport them economically orwrite a letter to them every nowand then, but to also continue thestruggle they developed or thestruggle for which they put themin captivity. Let’s strengthen thebonds of solidarity andcompliance!

We must not wait forinternational calls or calls ofcoordination to write and/or tocommunicate amongst each other:this practice must also becontinuous, and if it ismaterialized outside of theInternet even better. This is theaim of the publication of theaddresses of imprisoned comradesor the email of a comrade whowrote a text and shares it out.

A strong greeting to the relativemeans around the world, whopromote the structure of thedestruction of authority: Culmine,Contrainfo, 325, Act For FreedomNow, War On Society, BlackBlocg, Sabotagemedia and manyothers.

Much strength to our imprisonedcomrades, in the prisons built bythe states who govern the world.Their conviction is contagious!Much strength also to those whoare not intimidated and continueto support them every day.

Greetings, and look for the slogan

LONG LIVE ANARCHY!

and incite dialogue and “institu-tional” participation, because thisinsurrection is the only real formof struggle that could destroy theexistence of Power. This real formof struggle is complemented withother parts, like for example thosewhich work to spread the Anar-chist idea or other types of more“public” activities for the diffusionand anarchist action. For us, it isclear that the false differencebetween “legal” and “illegalanarchism” does not exist- what-ever action, publication, book,distro, anarchist centre thatstrongly questions the values ofthe system and that is directedtowards the destruction of theState/ Capital and, if you want tosee it as such, the construction ofan anarchist and natural world,will consequently be illegal.

We want to point out, withoutgoing on too much, that we don´tsee direct action or anarchistattack against the State/Capital asa “tradition to follow”, we see it asa necessity. In comparison withyears and centuries behind us, themotives and discourses havechanged, even when the realityseems the same, the conditionsthat generate exploitation aredifferent. Concretely we say thatcurrently the vision has to bewidened and we now know thateven if we collectivise the facto-ries, nothing will change asdomination is in every aspect ofthis “life” and capitalised world,that for necessity needs to bedestroyed in its totality.

As Conspiración Ácrata so far wehave published 15 editions. Wehave always maintained aninsurrectional and anti-prisonline, although we recognise thaton saying anti-prison we need tohave a wide conception of whatprisons are. Our principal contri-bution is to try as best as we canto give space for letters, support orwords from our compañer@sprisoners of war. For us, thesecompañer@s, while remaininginside the prison walls, are activeparticipants in the “movement”and part of our affinity groups.Even given the distance theirwords or analysis are strong

supports for the struggle that wefight day by day.For these reasons and many morewe decided to use the names“Conspiración Ácrata” (AnarchicConspiracy) and “ConflictoCotidiano” (Every-day Conflict)because they are two of the av-enues that mark the internationaland local anarchist struggle. Tomaintain ourselves in conflict inour daily lives, this does notnecessarily mean to hit out andcreate chaos everywhere we go,but to maintain ourselves conflic-tive and maintain a permanenttension in our acts and in ourminds. An individual war toconfront moment by moment thesocial norms and normalisedbehaviours of the social peaceimposed on us by the State/Capital. Every day conflict are alsothe attacks that are perpetratedagainst power, because it is muchbetter to maintain ourselvesconflictive than passive, delegat-ing responsibility and speaking ofrevolution when in the every daywe follow their norms and values.

We invite anyone who would liketo write, comment, critique, sendcommuniqués, analysis or texts tothe following email:conflicto_cotidiano@riseup.net.

Anarchy and Social War on allfronts!!!

Letter from 325

Towards a Black International ofAnarchists of Praxis

Every time a revolutionary sectorof people actually becomesdangerous to the capitalist systemand its minions throughinsurrectional activity, especiallyduring a time of economic “crisis”,it is of total necessity tostrengthen the autonomouscommunication networks and

counter-information structuresthat contextualise their resistance.This actively spreads therevolutionary ideas/practicewhich underpins why the fightersare held by the State, and has apropulsive momentum whichwidens the struggle. As weunderstand it, the proposal of the‘Black International’ from theimprisoned members of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire, is aninternational informalorganisation of many individualsand groups exchanging infos andideas whilst aiming at thecontinuation of action inside andoutside the prison walls. This is aworthwhile and needed proposal,providing a welcome directionand input of vital energy in themany-sided struggle against theforces of State and Capital.

Firstly, in this way, if anindividual is detained, otherindividuals/groups can continuetheir efforts and activitiesunhindered, as there are nomembership lists to be easilyfound by the police, there being nocentral organ or bureau - affinityand aim being the unifyingfeature. Secondly, whenradicalised individuals andgroups enter the prison there is animmediate global informalstructure open to theirparticipation and in which theyare still active combatants, not“victims” of repression, and theirvoices can continue to be heard asunmediated as possible. In thisway, it’s ensured that no dignifiedfighter is left stranded behind thewalls, and the capture of theradicals is not enough tosufficiently disrupt or neutralisetheir activity and speech throughdetention.

Since before their incarceration inthe dungeons of Capital early in2010, the words, actions andattitude of the steadfast comradesof the CCF have rung outforcefully from both outside andinside the prison walls, calling usall not only to arms and to attack,but reminding us proudly of ourplace in the world as rebels, asanarchists, as freedom fighters.The individuals of CCF challenged

48

everyone to live with integrityand with a total contempt for thesystem and also for thesubmissive herd mentality, whichis one of the facets of dominationthat stands between us andfreedom.

A fundamental step towards totalliberation might not be to call onthe stereotypical forms ofdemocracy - but instead todisengage oneself from easy andcomfortable representations in alltheir forms, wherever they arefound and create our new valuesand structures of emancipation.As we make every attempt toliberate ourselves, both from theindustrial-technological systemand the human machines that seekto enslave us, we are faced withthe constant task of undoing ourconditions and our conditioning,of identifying and eradicating thetraps that are everywhere set forus. One of these is the trap of left/right politics, when in fact allpolitical systems and cliques areredundant. Another is the trap ofguilt and innocence whichentangles us in the detail of this orthat ‘crime’ when really we arebeing prosecuted for our ideas,making us the subject of a trialwhen it is the system itself whichwe have already judged and foundwanting. In eighteenth centuryLondon during the brutal days ofthe hangings and thetransportations, many who weredragged before the courts simplyrefused to speak English to thejudges, preferring to insult thewigged barons and theirexecutioners in “Thieves Cant” (alanguage known only to the poorand excluded) rather than answerthe charges made against them.Today’s “Thieves Cant” is againthe refusal of the opinion of thejudiciary. The CCF members andthe other irreducible individualswho have echoed their call fromwithin and without the prisonwalls, have reminded peopleclearly that beginning a refusal tosubmit to this regime-game is arevolutionary imperative, asimportant as anything else thatwe decide to do. We understandthat our comradeship within/alongside groups of the Anarchist

Black Cross -with its existingfederative approach to thequestion of anarchistorganisation- reveals to us a bigpotential, when the concept ofinformal groups of theory-in-action -praxis- is considered. Asthe prisons are aimed squarely atus, the anarchist and chaotic, wehave no problems organising forthe destruction of prisons and thesystem which requires them. So,we agree to the proposal of theCCF to concentrate efforts oncommunication, exchange,translation, and also of course,actions based around the topic ofthe “prison” (which is as wellanother chamber of society andvice versa). This is a new openingfor co-ordinations and exchangesof international solidarity throughpractical theory and continuity.

Letter from BlackBlog Collective

We are a group of anarcho-communists from Russia.We prefer the method ofrevolutionary struggle by directaction as a way to achieve oursocial ideal and liberation. We useMolotovs, sometimes, explosivesand other sabotage actions tostrictly attack the oppressorsonly. This makes us very close toinsurrectionary anarchism.Besides direct actions, wemaintain Black Blog site, active foralmost 2 years now. It appears asa news resource of radical socialstruggle expressed in the acts of

guerilla and sabotage in Russiaand also contains some practicalskills of resistance and expressesour anarchist position.

We keep solidarity with allfighting and imprisoned comradesworldwide. Together, strong, tovictory and anarchy!

BAD PASSIONS

The seasons of the Inferno

Illegalism – Nihilism –Individualism -

Anti-Christianism

A text presented on 4th September 2010The reasons and necessity forpublishing and re-editing withpractical commitment, texts oftheory under the name of EdizioniCerbero [1] is based on theprinciple of the free andindividual liberation of badpassions [2], those unique,personal and egoistic passionswhich are the pivot of free willand relativism, chased back bysociety as the ruin of the ideal ofliving-together humanity.Starting from this amoral incipit,we tighten and carry onanarchist-nihilist proposals inorder to hit the constituted ‘altarof good and evil’, the gene ofprisons and of the applauses in

49

the theatres of the state, ofinfernos and heavens, of awardsand privileges, up to thepunishment perpetrated by thedogs of the law that feed on theedification of ideal States orSocieties. Our first intention isexactly to re-conquer the ego [3]and the boundless freedom of ourpassions.

We choose pamphlets,communiqués and old and recentclaims of anarcho-terroristattacks [4] against the state, as inthe case of the ‘Conspiracy of theCells of Fire – Group of nihilistguerrilla– Nihilist Fraction’, onthe methods of struggle andphysical and moral means,whereas the so-called anarchistmovement with its remote andcontrasting trends imbued withsickly Christian-communist-democratic hypocrisy, under therevolutionary flag, gathers theopportunistic vision of unity isstrength, everything and itsopposite, friends today andenemies tomorrow. Here is anexample:

‘But supposing that as a result of thekind of education received from presentsociety, or for physical misfortune or forany other reason, someone were to wantto do harm to us and to others, one canbe sure that we would exert ourselvesto prevent him from so doing with allthe means at our disposal. Of course,because we know that man is theconsequence of his own organism aswell as of the cosmic and socialenvironment in which he lives; becausewe do not confuse the inviolate right ofdefence with the claimed ridiculousright to punish; and since with thedelinquent, that is with he who commitsanti-social acts, we would not, to besure, see the rebel slave, as happenswith judges today, but the sick brotherneeding treatment, so would we notintroduce hatred in the repression, andwould make every effort not to gobeyond the needs of defence, and wouldnot think of avenging ourselves but ofseeking to cure, redeem the unhappyperson with all the means that scienceoffered us. In any case, irrespective ofthe anarchists’ interpretation (whocould, as happens with all theorists,lose sight of reality in pursuing asemblance of logic), it is certain that the

people would not allow their wellbeingand their freedom to be attacked withimpunity, and if the necessity arose,they would take measures to defendthemselves against the anti-socialtendencies of a few.’

Apart from some definitions, theabove piece of writing reminds usof any speech of any pro Catholicand democratic politician or‘enlightened’ socialist, a Capuchinfriar, a social worker, a possiblemerciful jailer, a psychiatrist... butit is Errico Malatesta, who, inorder to solve the problem of‘anti-social trends’ would makerecourse to coercive means suchas a ‘criminal mental hospital’ inopposition to the point 2 of hisprogram. [5]

‘Resistance to the oppression of politicalpower won’t make legitimate recourse toweapons, except when all the followingconditions are present: 1) in case of certain, serious andprolonged violations of fundamentalrights;2) after all other possibilities have beenattempted;3) without provoking greater disorders;4) when there is well-founded hope ofsuccess;5) if it is possible to reasonablyindividuate better solutions.’

‘If one uses more violence thannecessary in order to defend his life, hisaction is illicit. On the contrary, if hereacts with moderation, then defence islicit [...]’ [6]

In order to defend oneself from thedanger of the Unique, as it can besee, all social doctrines which bynature tend to their conservationhit ‘adequately’ any perversionthat does not want to adapt andto place its wicked passions incollective containers, holders ofinviolable truths: in God with theBaptism, in Humanity withmorals (of Socialism).

I Am My Own Cause

Novatore is another editorialchoice of Edizioni Cerbero. He hitsat the core of this point, animportant point on the presentperspectives that an individual

must take in respect of theanalysis that want him to beplaced in a parochial-revolutionary march. Novatorewarns us about social preachers,the thieves of the ego.

‘Only the one who can appreciate withimpetuous violence the rusty gatesclosing the house of the big lie wherethe lubricious thieves of the Ego havegathered (god, state, society andhumanity), can be master of himself andcall himself anarchist, and take back hisbiggest treasure form the viscid andrapacious hands – ringed with the fakegold of love for mercy and civilization –of awry predators.’ [7]

And he continues:‘The first man who said: “There’s nogod” was unquestionably an athlete ofhuman thought. But the one wholimited himself to say: “The priest’s godis not there” cheated with amisunderstanding and revealed himselfas being a shady partisan who alreadyplanned to kill men perhaps with a newlie. Be well aware of those who limitthemselves with the sole negation ofgod.’ [8]

Therefore the ego is everything,the Nothing that creates from theNothing as Max Stirner explainedin The Ego and Its Own [9] andNovatore brilliantly summed up:

‘The war against the human-individualwas begun by Christ in the name of god,was developed by democracy in thename of society and threatens tocomplete itself in socialism in the nameof humanity.

If we do not know in time how todestroy these three absurd as well asdangerous phantoms, the individual willbe inexorably lost.

It is necessary that the revolt of the “I”expands itself, broadens itself,generalizes itself!

We — the forerunners of the time —have already lit the beacons!

We have lit the torches of thought.

We have brandished the ax of action.

And we have smashed.

50

And we have unhinged.

But our individual “crimes” must be thefatal announcement of a great social storm.

The great and dreadful storm that willsmash all the structures of theconventional lies, that will unhinge thewalls of all hypocrisy, that will reduce theold world to a heap of ruins and smokingrubble!

Because it is from these ruins of god, ofsociety, of family and of humanity that thenew human mind could be bornflourishing and festive, that new humanmind which — on the rubble of all the past— will sing the birth of the liberated man:the free and great “I”.’

We could fill entire pages withNovatore’s quotations andwarnings on these subjects. Hedeserves more attention as concernsthe main points of his thought butwe don’t have much space here.

‘Mine is not a thought or a theory, but astate of mind, a particular way of feeling.When I feel the urge to definitely liberateall my Centaurs and furious stallions, itwill an orgy around me, an orgy madwith love and blood; for I am – I feel this– what the inhabitants of the moralswamps of society call ‘commondelinquent.’

Ah! Novatore is touching a rawnerve. Few people can read andsustain the message of uniquenessexposed in both concrete and poeticmanner without having a thrill ofterror and hypocritical horror. Veryfew are those who can agree that a‘common delinquent’ can beconsidered an anarchist.

The political prisoner has thesolidarity of comrades (here weshould indulge in a brief aside onwhat one means for solidarity, butfor the moment we prefer to staysane). There are comrades who,even if they wave the flag of thedestruction of the prison system,incubate a little builder who, brickby brick, is already putting up abuilding similar to that that hasbeen just demolished – in the bestscenario; some other comrades, bycontrast, have already put up wallsfor a long time – in the worstscenario – walls containing

thoughts before people: some sortof preventive psycho-police.

But other comrades don’t just puta limit to their thoughts and wills.They want this limit to be appliedin a collective and democraticmanner, and with this they wantto draw up a plan to build theprisons of action withoutmistakes. You can’t imagine howmany recruits the prison of theseself-proclaiming comrades have!

Unfortunately the term ‘comrade’adds to the confusion. Is solidaritya point of strength of theanarchist movement?

We think it is, ideally, but itremains as such: an idea, anabstraction.

This is not the right place todevelop all the meaning ofsolidarity. Now solidarity (luckilythis is not the case for allcomrades) is an instrument thatonly serves to build a consensusof ethical force for those whoreceive it. It is not an active force;it only serves as a motive and notas a resolute formula of theproblem. A rosary and a prayerhave the same effect.

Now a political prisoner can relyon an armless mass canalized inhis ethic, and only on theseconditions he moves on. Thisdoesn’t pull you out of jail but itturns you into a martyr of thecause, if you have the right cards.

In practice they observe youwhile you are dying and once youare dead some will say mass inorder to get even with theirconscience.

The common delinquent is the onewho got out.

The delinquent of thought andaction was capable to dare, toovershoot!

In this respect Bruno Filippiwrites:‘I know I’m living and that I want tolive. It is very difficult to put this willinto action. We are surrounded by a

humanity that wants what others want.My own isolated affirmation is thegravest offense.’[10]

To affirm oneself is a crime againsthumanity.

The biggest crime society is guiltyof is having taken away from theindividuals the possibility andmeans to understand andrecognize themselves:

‘It’s all in vain, I’m bad. Society wonover me. And I hate. I furiously hate thisbrute humanity that killed me, that madean orange peel out of me.’ [11]

I come to a conclusion... throughpamphlets, books and action it isour intention to spread themessage of the here and now as amethod of struggle for total,individual and definite liberationfrom any ethical-moral andrepressive structure: The State asmuch as The Religions.

We are not looking for theconsensus of armless masses; nospeculative propaganda in thissense is our business.

All this said, we published ourpamphlets following a precise line,which tried to give the singleindividual the theoretical means toreflect and deepen on his/her self-liberation – always starting fromthe assumption that each one hasthese means anyway. They mustnot be seen as suggestions or ascharitable work for those whodon’t know about these means, butas a method of dialogue to makeone’s struggle as radical aspossible.

However, some of our pamphletsalready published or about to bepublished don’t focus on theoryonly. They also focus on practicalaction, where real and violentconfrontation is at stake and anyillegal and amoral method will be aconstant and indispensable pointof reference.

Notes on Bad Passions:[1] Not by chance, Cerberuswatches the doors of our personalinferno where nobody can enter andnothing comes out – see the EdizioniCerbero bookmark.http://325.nostate.net/?tag=edizioni-cerbero/

[2] ‘It is not great feelings that decide onthe morals and holiness of people; they arethe inexhaustible reservation of theimages and affections that express morallife. Passions are morally good when theycontribute to a good action; they are bad inthe opposite case. Right will leads thesensitive movements it assumes togoodness and beatitude; bad will gives into wild passion and exacerbates them.Emotions and feelings can be assumed invirtue or perverted by vice.’ See‘Catechism of the Catholic Church’.

[3] ‘The Anarchist is only the one who,after a long, breathless and desperatesearch, has found in themself and hasplaced themselves, defiant and proud, “onthe fringes of society”, denying anyonethe right to judge them.’ RenzoNovatore, ‘I Am My Own Cause’,Edizioni Cerbero.

[4] ‘Let’s give free rein to our destructiveinstincts. A new guerrilla cycle can begin,stronger and even more destructive. Any house can become a hideout, andfrom all hideouts the fire will come out toburn them all alive. For we know that thenew guerrilla is not a soap bubble or anadolescence impulse or an explosion ofartistic anxiety. The realization andrevitalization of our aggressive desires,negations and existence manifestthemselves in the attack on the existent.You’ll be always straight in front of us...and we’ll see who will have their backagainst the wall.’CCF - Nihilist Fraction

[5] See Errico Malatesta, ‘Anarchy’.‘Abolition of the government andany power that make laws andimpose them on others: thereforeabolition of monarchies, republics,parliaments, armies, police,judiciary, and all institutions armedwith coercive means.’

More often anarchists fight againsta world, today’s world, which suitsthem very well... like a tailor-made

dress. Some, the most astute oneswho knows how to conceal it,brood over conservative instincts,such as fear of destroying secular,moral and architecturaltraditions, habits and roots:‘works of art, monuments,relations, respect, charity,sociality, humanity, religion,education...’ Horrified byamorality they keep everything asit is – moreover, sometimes theyrenovate it with verbal baptismsand dresses of first Communion inorder to make it appear morebeautiful. They call conservativepractices with revolutionarynames, a skilful virtuosity ofgrammar lexicon that changes onan aesthetical level but doesn’ttake the stench of old things away.They champion the Whole, evento the detriment of the individual,the Ego, which is everyone’sreason, one’s own causeregardless of what the latter is,unique and not for all. To find aresponse to social conservativesread Max Stirner.

[6] Besides being a right, self-defence can also be serious dutyfor those who are responsible forothers’ lives. The defence of thecommon good requires that theunjust aggressor be put in aposition where he can’t do anyarm. In this respect, the holders ofauthority have the right to useeven weapons in order to rejectthe aggressors of the civilcommunity entrusted to theirresponsibility. The effort of thestate aiming at protecting thecommon good and containing thespread of offensive behavioursagainst the rights of men and thefundamental rules of civil living-together corresponds to a need ofprotection of the common good.The legitimate public authorityhas the right and duty to inflictpunishments according to theseriousness of the crime.Punishment has the main goal torepair the disorder introduced bythe guilt. When it is voluntarilyaccepted by the guilty, it becomesatonement. Moreover, besidesdefending public order andprotecting the security of people,punishment has a therapeuticgoal: when possible it must

contribute to correcting the guilty.In the presence of a completeassessment of the identity andresponsibility of the guilty, thetraditional teaching of the churchdoes not exclude the recourse todeath penalty, whenever thelatter is the only way toeffectively protect humans’ livesfrom an unjust aggressor. On thecontrary, if bloodless methods aresufficient to defend people from anaggressor and protect security,the authority will limit itself tothese means, as the latter arebetter suited to the concreteconditions of the common goodand are more accordant with thedignity of human beings. As amatter of fact, today the State hasmany possibilities to effectivelyrepress crime by making the onewho committed it inoffensivewithout completely denying himthe chance to redeem himself. Thecases of absolute necessity ofsuppression of the culprit ‘are bynow very rare if not non-existent’.

Letter from Eat &Billy, imprisonedcomrades of theLong-Live LucianoTortuga Cell -Indonesian FAI

Dear comrades, with respect, loveand rage,

It’s been 35 days since we werecaught and we are sorry forwriting this letter too long as ouronly possible communicationcomes only from our friends andlovers who still have the courageto meet us here. Direct letters areimpossible.

We’ve been waiting to hear somenews from you all and like astrong warm breeze in thisclimate of repression, we oncemore regain back our energy andstrength to hear the sound ofrevolutionary solidarity and awarm feeling of comradeship fromall combatants and prisoners offreedom around the world –especially when we have thechance to read a newspaper aboutsome recent insurrection in Rome,Italy, it gave us both a warmfeeling that comrades are stillfighting for a true revolutionarychange… and the spirit ofinsurrectionalism is still in the airlike a light of hope – in this dimatmosphere of cages of repression.

We send our hugs to all the FAImembers around the world (thosewho are free and imprisoned) andas well CCF members in Greece,our true revolutionary and warmfeelings to all of you.. On a sadnote, we are truly disappointedthat some our local comrades whoare inspired by fear and mediasensationalism which make them

to retreat from the front line butlet’s put this aside, as we are stillconvinced that they still have theideas in their heart of resistance…that would light the darkness oncemore in the glimmering light ofpassion for rebellion.

Warm hugs and salute to allcombatants in Chile, Greece,Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany,and all of the revolutionaryanarchists who never back downin the face of repression.Revolutionary Greetings andHugs to all of you.

Letter from Eat

June 2012

Dear comrades, proud ‘members’of FAI/IRF Global, our imprisonedfriends of the Conspiracy of Cellsof Fire, and all the groups,individuals, who dedicate theirlives to end the mega-machine ofcontrol and domination and to allthe anarcho-heretics. It’s beenquite long since I wrote an open-letter.

I don’t know, all the circumstanceshere were sometimes too hectic toeven try to focus on writingsomething. A mixture of personal-feelings for my loved ones, theprocess of the trial, and millions ofideas that sometimes came like arain of stars.

And I’m sure that we all miss thestars, the overwhelming feelingsof our unlimited universe,possibility and it’s nihilisticessence.

I must say that I’m still fortunatethat they kept me inside a cage inthis ‘Non’ maximum securityprison. But my purpose here isnot to tell ‘boring’ stories aboutthe prison conditions I am in, for Iknow it only too well, it is merelya physical prison, a miniature ofour modern society. But onecannot say that there’s nodifference between here andoutside. A physical prison is stillthe most worst place for a freeperson to be in. No one—nomatter what crime they done —should be kept in prison.

Dreams of Fire continue to hauntmy dreams, all the solidarityactions by comrades abroad givesme a mixed feelings of joy andsadness. I’m still waiting for allthose [Indonesian] informal cellsand individuals to really startagain to storm the gates ofheaven. “Our imprisonedcondition” is not an excuse to halta revolt. For we all know thatmachines never sleep, and all thestars during the night, theirmagnificent magical existence, areenough reason to steal the Fire ofPrometheus — bring a continuousand rhyming fire across the globe,a resonance of wild fires to everyoffice of bankers, politicians,police-stations, industrialists,those nuclear saints etc.

Let’s throw all those post-modernists and cultural studieson the garbage, as they are onlycontributing bourgeoisscepticism, those uselesstheoretical debates and the dead-end of Marxist analysis. I’m notsaying that our negative teachershould be abandoned, I’m notsaying — as Bakunin once said —“It is enough of theory”.

No! informal-insurrectionistgroups should continue todevelop their theory throughpraxis of attack, to find the limitsof informal groups of attack, todevelop an understanding on howto bridge social upheaval to ourown individualistic tendencies ofrevolt. As myself, I always tried tofind a red thread between socialand individual revolt. Because Ihave a deep connection to social

53

struggles, in which, I neversacrifice my individual ego ofrevolt just to “please” the ‘socialanarchist’ belief of long-termstrategy, even though I’m stillconfident that a possible bridgebetween the two poles thatinsurrectionary anarchist mustalso have good relation to thoseautonomous grass roots peoplethat are also longing to storm theheavens.

Let’s end the dead-end classicalanarchism rhetoric and all thoseleftist politician once and for alland to recreate the dynamics ofinternationalists anarchist plagueof revolt, to reflect and developthe strategy of attack and arecreation of autonomousliberated spaces.

Comrades, although all of thismight sound too sloganistic, Ithink it is important to reflect andrecreate and so the wildfire ofanarchist revolt might become thefatal weapon for everydomination that is continuing todestroy every aspect of life, livingcreatures, our mother nature andall those magnificent wonder ofour limitless universe.

I wave with smiles to thoseindomitable rebels of the OlgaCell (FAI/IRF) with their coura-geous action against the imbecileof nuclear saints. Hugs toinsurrectionary anarchistsbelonging to FAI/IRF in Chile,Bolivia, France, Germany, Italy,etc. How I wished to hug you allsomeday.

To Olga, their isolation for you isanother reason for every tickingtime of fire across the globe. Muchlove for you companera. ToGiorgos Polidoros, GerasimosTsakalos, Panagiotis Argirou,Christos Tsakalos, DamianoBolano, Michalis Nikolopolous,Giorgos Nikolopolous, HarisHadjimihelakis, TheofilosMavropoulos.

If you all happen to see the starsor the sun, remember I’m alsoseeing it with you and to myfriend Luciano Tortuga, theplague of black revolt will never

stop and retreat as our untamedlove and wild passions will createthe silence before the comingstorm.

Long-live Anarchy and InternationalCooperation of Anarchist-Praxis

Insurrectionary egoist,Comrade E (Indonesian FAI)Long-Live Luciano Tortuga Cell

Letter to theIndomitable heartsfrom LucianoTortuga

Comrade Luciano Pitronello wasaccused for the attackin on a branch ofSantander bank at June 1, 2011.During the transportation the explosivedevice exploded on him, resulting in hisseriousinjury.The comrade wasdetained despite his serious healthproblems,and even in prison he managedto recover. Luciano was sentenced onWednesday, August 15 2012 to 6years freedom under supervision (housearrest).

January 1, 2012 Santiago $hile.7 months since the attack failed

It is difficult to begin to writewhen I know that I have so muchto communicate and even more tokeep quiet; silence has become agreat companion, and not in vain,since my enemies want me tocommunicate, to explain myselfwith my ideas, to justify myillegal action, so that they can to

apply the anti-terrorist law andbury me even in the condition inwhich I find myself, they wantthat trophy of war, a youth withmany wounds, imprisoned for nothaving tricked himself with thecomfort of a revolution framedwithin political correctness.Power’s ambition with my trial isfor the señora of the house to tellher little rebel that this is howidealists meet their end, thosewho dare to dream, to even think,that it begins with the rebellionproper to youth and if it goesunchecked it can end in terrifyingconsequences–to justify by meansof my example the prison system,the repression for the “good of ourchildren and the future.”

I know that power wants that, orat the least hopes for it, that in oneway or another I will appearpublicly, thus I preferred silence; Ithink that in these moments it ismuch better that others speak forme–my comrades, known orunknown, just like in endlessevents for animal liberation, oneknows to speak for those whocannot, I believe that now thesame should happen, because Isincerely think that othercomrades, even from differentparts of the world have alreadydone this and have had splendidresults, not only with everythingthat involves my morale, but alsowith everything that involvessolidarity, which I would dare torepresent as the first piece of agreat row of dominoes, in whichone pushes the first and thesecond pushes the third and so onsuccessively, where my moralecomes to be one more piece in thedominoes, in which there is alsodamage to the system in breakingwith its authoritarian logic, theesteem that the action generatesas much on the individual level ascollectively, as well asrepresenting another seat in theconflict with reality, and onecould spend days like thisnumbering the different effectsthat a solidarity action can have.

Nevertheless, as much as myenemies want me tocommunicate, I know that manycomrades also wanted me to, and

54

you should know that I know thisand I’m sorry you had to spendseveral months of uncertainty toreceive any news, I profoundlyregret not communicating myselfin these circumstances, it was Iwho always stressed thatsolidarity should be reciprocal,and believe me that more thananyone I regretted not havingacted sooner, I felt that I wasbetraying myself in being silent.“Does it make him uncomfortablethat we act in solidarity withhim?” I speculated that youthought this in interpreting mysilence, but I have a small andbeautiful daughter who needs herpapá, and I cannot betray hereither. She moved me to silence,my ideals move me to dialogueand you my forever comradesincite me to the point in between.

I do not like to write withoutthinking what I want to conveyand to be fully understood, towrite something in my situationmerits a profound reflection–is itworth it? Since in my case, unlikethe majority of political trialswhich are usually frame-ups, inmy case it is proven, since I reallydid transport a bomb themorning of June 1st with thedestination of the bank branchlocated on Av. Vicuña Mackennaand Victoria, downtownSantiago.

For my part, I wanted to telleveryone why the attack failed.How could I try to communicatemyself and ignore something sorelevant? Or even, Why thatbank? To politicize an anti-capitalist attack is not only toadvocate for the violence, it is alsoto put the noose around my neck,and as for that, Never!, because aslong as I am alive I plan tocontinue fighting, it doesn’tmatter to me if I’m short somefingers, a hand, my hearing orsight, I will continue forward atall costs, that is something thatmy enemies have to know asmuch as my comrades.

Then you ask me to break withthe isolation, with the hermitismaround me; I posit that I would beashamed to communicate myself,

to do so simply, to which yourespond with a blow to myconscience, “And your comrades?”Do I think that communicatingwith you is something banal andunimportant? It’s true, I don’t needto vomit out everything thathappened that night, I believe thatin the future there will be time forthat…

So, you want to know about me?Well, I will fight in order to live,and live in order to fight untilbeing free and wild, I do not trickmyself in thinking that I am lesswild if I breathe artificially or not,because I believe that it is insituations like that when the mostwild human instinct blossoms–the instinct of survival; I’m nottrying to allude to anyone inparticular, because I know thatmany comrades desire my deathwith all the best, but I want tofrom here deliver a lesson foreveryone–one cannot desire thedeath of a comrade to free themfrom their body, unless of coursethe comrade manifests it, but ifthat were the case, the personwould seek the means to put anend to their life, without thusgenerating a judicial case(homicide) for a third party.Because what would happen if to“do me a favor” they had killedme? Who are they who callthemselves my comrades to judgewhether or not it’s worth the painfor me to keep living? The only onecapable of taking such a decisionis the individual, only he knowswhat he really desires, and inparticular I want to keep living, inorder to continue fighting.

On other other hand, I want youto know that I appreciate all andevery one of the solidarity actionsthat you have done with me, thebanners hung in different parts ofthe world or those messages thatcarry the same solidarios reachmy ears in one way or another,each leaflet, each counter-information bulletin, each space ofyour lives that you dedicated tome I keep as a treasure, know thatI have been aware of everything,that in this world there are notwords for my feelings ofgratitude, because each bombing,

each arson organized in my nameis in my mind, I can never forgetthe valiance of my Mexicancomrades, the insubordinateswho have made themselves mycomrades in Greece, I wish toembrace the savages of Boliviaand the US, affectionately salutingthe rebels of Spain and Italy, thelibertarixs of Argentina–takeheart!, not to mention theiconoclasts of Indonesia–strength,comrades! To the anonymous ofthe ALF and ELF in Russia and inthe world. To the imprisonedcomrades across the world, I sendall my care in these humbleletters, to the comrade Tamara,prisoner in Mexico, to GabrielPombo Da Silva, prisoner inSpain, to Marco Camenisch,prisoner in Switzerland, to thealways dignified comrades of theCells of Fire, how I envy yourcourage, and of course to mycomrades of the territorydominated by the state of $hile, toyou who I knew in person knowthat I carry you in my hearteverywhere I go, I have neverbeen separated from you because Icarry you in my smile; I knowthat in a letter I could never thankeveryone and each one of theactions I hope that it isunderstood that I do not intend toexclude any one, the forms inwhich you have been in solidaritywith me are many and as diverseas the same struggle, from illegalactions to activities to telephonecalls, internet messages, andlibertarian songs; finally I wantyou to know, each and every oneof you solidarious rebels that thisloco for freedom will Never, neverforget you, you were known to beas great as skyscrapers and tostrike where it hurts, and aboveall, you made the stars shine withyour courage, and that issomething worth imitating.

I would like you to know what thesolidarity created for me in thosedays when nothing made sense,when learning to remake my lifedid not make a bit of sense,because you know I was doingpoorly, what happened to me Iwould wish on very few peoplebecause it was horrible–and inthe greatest darkness there

55

appeared small gestures thatpushed me to not give up. Howcould I betray those who risktheir lives to give meencouragement? And I learned toconquer life anew; I know thatyou will never know howimportant you have been. Now Ifind myself as strong as ever;prison, far from intimidating me,has made me as strong as in thosedays; life is paradoxical, because Ialways said that to havecomrades in prison should nevermotivate one to fear, entirely theopposite it should be the reasonfor the wick in the bottle ofgasoline, for the fuse in theexplosive or incendiary charge,for the smile in the insurgenthearts after each day of attack,this I believed before and I stillbelieve it, and now I am the onewho finds himself a prisoner, so ifmy enemies do not succeed inintimidating me when I findmyself in their clutches I see itwill be difficult for them to do sowith my comrades.

I plan to confront the prison in thesame way that I confront society–with dignity and happiness,never in a submissive way, to, ashas been said before, make theprison combative. I tell you that Iam in the hospital section of theSantiago 1 prison, here there is aregime similar to that of themaximum security module of thehigh security prison, but withouta yard, without radio, withoutTV, with one weekly visit of atmost 2 people and with the risk ofcatching the illnesses of otherprisoners; the room is shared andis larger than a cell, around herethey call it the crazy prison,because to spend much time hereis enough to drive you crazy,although I am of the opinion thatwhat does not kill you makes youstronger, also as they say aroundhere, “we crazy ones are thosewho have the most beautifuldreams.” I tell you that I do a lot ofexercise to recuperate themusculature I lost, I sing a lot,especially the songs that nobodylikes, I write letters to my littlebaby girl every week, sometimeswhen I have a roommate I playchess or we talk, generally the

prisons have much care for meand help me a lot. I rigorouslyfollow my rehabilitationtreatment and I try to give myselfencouragement when informationfrom the outside is scarce; also Ihave proposed many projects tomyself, I am already working onsome, others are for when I havecompleted my sentence.

I think that a rebel becomes awarrior when one is able to getback up stronger than one fell,who is able to see a reality eventhough one has everything to lose,a warrior does not necessarilyhave to know how to make abomb or handle one, nor to havetechniques of camouflage, theseare things one learns by addition,warriors are dangerous for theirideas and principles because theysee all the way to the finalconsequences, always firm,steadfast, because they do notbetray themselves nor theircomrades, because they arealways aware, because they don’tlet themselves be carried by fuck-ups or rumor, because if they haveproblems they confront them, ifthey feel pain they cry, and if theyare happy they laugh; becausethey know to live out a full life,though it will not therefore bepeaceful–those are the truewarriors; now in this war thereare many joyful occasions, butthere are also moments ofbitterness, because it is a war, nota juvenile phase, and to confrontthe system of dominationutilizing these conclusions cancarry disastrous consequencesand we should know thatbeforehand, because an error, asmall carelessness changeseverything, I always say this andthis I had understood, therefore Iacted according to the terms that Iused. Regarding my wounds, theyhave all healed, unfortunately themarks will always remain but Icarry them with the same prideas my tattoos, because they arethe best evidence that I amconvinced in my ideals–howcould I not be? I carried that bombwith dreams and hopes and thoseremain intact.

On the other hand, I regret being

unable to keep carrying on in theprojects that I participated in,understanding that for me therewas none that was more valuablethan another, each and every onemeans a contribution to the socialwar and I yearn that thoseprojects do not go adrift because Iam not around, on the contrary Ishould be another motivation tocontinue forward, I know that Iam not absolved of criticism,because if I formed part of thosedreams I should have acted not at100% of caution, but at 150%.

I am sure that my example willclose one more chapter and thatthe new and not-so-newcombatants will know to rescuethe positive from all this, becausethe struggle continues and thereare too many hearts that do not fitin this authoritarian world andwant to open a path, because wedid it in the past we know how todo so in the present, personally Imake a good balance of the anti-authoritarian struggles in theworld, one or another diminishesbut generally the prognosis looksgood.

But as much as the struggleadvances, the repression will too,and my case will be utilized toreopen the pathetic bombs caseframe-up, therefore I make thesuggestion to be alert, never toinaction but rather to caution,because my self-criticism can beapplied by all, the idea is to shareit, nor do I say this as certainscience, it is speculation, perhapsthey do not intend more frame-ups for fear of looking ridiculousagain, or maybe they’ll flushdown the toilet everything inwhich which my deed isaccredited, so the call is to be wellawake, with all 5 senses in thestreet.

To end I want to dedicate somefinal lines to that person whotraveled with me in the earlyhours of June 1st. Hermanitx*, Iknow that my accident must havemarked you, perhaps you spendnights without sleeping, in theuncertainty of daily life, “Will theyfind out it was me? Will they noticeme?

Luciano PitronelloThe abyss does notstop us

The abyss does not stop us.Communique at one year afterthe Bombing that almost cost memy life

First days of June, 2012

To the conscious rebels; to mycompanions scattered across the world:

A little more than a month haspassed since everything changedfor me that cold predawn of June1st last year, and I believe that tonot declare myself about it wouldbe to play along with the gamethat has me here prisoner in thehospital of the Santiago 1 prison,and it would be a dishonor tomyself, but above all to you mydear compañerxs who worry aboutme.

I should say: I wanted to make abalance one year from when allthis happened, but did notmanifest it publicly for tworeasons: the first is because thattext was too compromising, andthe second and more important inmy opinion is because nothingwas really analyzed in it, it wasonly a compilation of frustration,resentment and hatred that ragedagainst everyone, cursing thosewho ran off, but now I want to doit, I feel the lucidity to be able todeliver some words that I am sureare so deserved.

But before beginning, I want toadvise you of the reasons for mydelay. The days have not beeneasy, the permanent confinementhas begun to do its work, and mymood has been terrible, which iswhy my first draft of thiscommunique ended up being acompendium of rage and ire;arrogance, aggressiveness andhaughtiness began to flourish inmy attitudes, and faced withsome situations I simply did notrecognize myself, but I fight, Ifight to continue forward and notbetray myself, trying to fight myown self in daily life, remindingmyself and not forgetting who Iam and why I am here.

Well here I go…

As concerns my wounds andhealing it has gone very well, thedaily exercises and practice in themanual labor of life have beendone, I say this with a great smile,that I have surpassed thedisability of knowing myselfsemi-mutilated; as for my visionit has improved greatly, but Ishould continue with the oculartreatment for a good time; as forthe burns, apart from being allhealed many have evolvedpositively, even so, I should keepusing the special compression suitfor the burns and the rose hip oil.At least for me, this chapter thathas to do with my physical stateis closed, happily the bomb didnot kill me.

My emotional state has beenweakening over the past days, butthis is due to the permanentconfinement, I know that allprisoners have our highs andlows, so I am optimistic about thissituation, after all, theconfinement cannot be forever,and if it was then they wouldonly have my flesh, because mymind and spirit will carry on inthe street next to each combatant,smiling and conspiring, and I saythis not as a poetic slogan I affirmit as a reality that is reflected inthe projection of insurgentdreaming where theauthoritarian values ofdomination are crushed invarious ways.

have died in my sleep? Will I bebetrayed?” I remember that once Itold you that despite the deephatred I feel toward the wretchwho stabbed his compañera, I alsobelieved to understand it oneshould be in a similar situation, tosee if we are as strong as we say,because I have always believedthat betrayal is an internalenemy. Now I can tell you withcertainty that that little guy hasno balls! I also remember thatbefore going out to the street thatnight I told you that I was goingwithout my Kabbalah, a totallymeaningless thing, somethingthat I felt gave me luck, you toldme that I was crazy for believingin such things, luckily I broughtmy other amulet, I am still aliveand now we can laugh about thatnonsense. Hermanx, I want you toknow that although I could neverimagine the horrible things thathave played with your mind oryour heart, I continue to be thesame little turtle who smells likefeet and sleeps on the floor and Iam never going to have toreproach you for anything,because that night it was myturn, just like in past times it hadbeen your turn, if somethinghappens the second person flees,so we had agreed and so it had tobe, because although you mightmany times feel like a traitor, youare not, in this war that wedecided to take on there are nowords to understand us. I maynever see you again, if so, goodluck in everything that comes.

I said it once and now I say itagain with pride: Never defeated,never repentant! From here I senda warm embrace to the peoplewho walk in clandestinity.

With Mauri present in memory!Prisoners at war to the street!Against all authority!Walking toward the creative nothing!

Prison is hard, I will not deny it,but it is possible to confront it,and we are witnesses of that,myself and each and every one ofmy companions who have indifferent ways embraced me tomake me know that I am notalone. The exemplary punishmentthat power boasts so much aboutis nothing of the sort, at least inmy case, since my comrades aswell as myself do not have a cluewhy their media-spectacle isrealized successfully, and what’smore, the only example we followhere is the one we give ourselves,wielding our best weapon:solidarity.

Self-critiques I make many, aboveall in this episode that is calledprison, where I have taken out theworst of myself, for which Ihumbly beg the pardon of eachand every one of the comradeswho I have shown my teeth to inone way or another, those I haveattacked only for the desire tounload my anger, those I did notwant to see/write due to the rageand envy that my conditioncreated in me, and above all, I begthe pardon of everyone who hashad to swallow bad faces,disagreeable times and my poorcharacter for the sole fact ofwanting to be in solidarity withme. So as I ought to confess I havenot been at the height of thecircumstances, of your solidaritywhich is enormous, but here weare ready to move forward, to falland to get back up again, to learnfrom the errors — this is the idea,right?

If I am to make a constructivecriticism it would be only thatperhaps there is a lack of first-hand information about what it isto live the consequences ofchoosing a rebel life, what itmeans to live in prison andisolation, what this brings with it,understanding more closely thestigma of being considered aterrorist and what goes on withour lives when this happens,familiarizing ourselves more withsubjects like clandestinity andexile that are recurrent places inthe struggle for freedom in a waythat is more real and less

imaginary, and finally starting tospeak more about torture, themethods the enemy applies, crimeas base value for a State-police,mutilation as a possibility in thewar against authority, pain andagony as part of the life ofwarriors, and thus each andevery one of these difficultpossibilities that one can face,beyond speculation andcharlatanry.

If I am to share my scant, but noless intense, experience in thissense, I would say that the workof prison and isolation have to domore than anything with a moraldemotivation, the others start notto matter a bit, likewise what ishappening outside, you adhereyourself to the prison reality, thisis your world now, what do youget from knowing about what ishappening outside if you areinside? You start to worry alwaysless about yourself, you do notcare about anything, you becomecontemptuous of others and theenvironment, you begin to valueothers’ efforts to get a smile out ofyou less and less, because they arenot living your nightmare, itfollows that you lose the fear ofanything because you know thatyou have lost everything and youare at the bottom of the abyss,you have fucked life, you turnhostile and aggressive, seeking inthis way to end everything soon,that the jailers crush you withtheir batons for the insults youhurl at them every day, and that,if you are lucky, they’ll give you ahand and you’ll end up dead, tofinally rest from the psychosisyou are carrying or, in the worstcase, that other prisoners do thistask to show you who has themost balls. When the psychosis ofconfinement advances, gestures ofsolidarity begin to matter little,you put to yourself emotionaltraps like “Why see importance in agesture of solidarity if I remainprisoner?” or even worse, youarticulate phrases like,”They arenot suffering the consequences like Iam,” and you curse your luck; butsome hard loving and caring slapsare needed to warn us of thetoxicity of these thoughts, that isto say, it is really stupid to believe

that only we live theconsequences of confinement, andit is not that one wants foreveryone to live theseconsequences, but the sense of notbeing alone and helpless makes usstrong, therefore, when a comradefalls prisoner it doesn’t just haveto do with their confinement/punishment, there are manynoble hearts who decide toaccompany the comrade in thisnew situation, acting in solidaritywith him/her, being present,writing, spreading news of theirsituation, vindicating them in thestreet, with flyers, pamphlets,posters, shouting their name inthe demonstration, breaking thesymbols of power in their honor,etc. Prison and isolation do theirwork, you start to dig your owngrave and alone you go deeperinto it, until you end up hearingphrases so absurd as that you arealone, and the worst of this self-imposed trap is that we ourselvestake care of driving off the toolsthat can help us to not decline,and then, sickly, we complain andget depressed from theforgetfulness we have buriedourselves in, because by now noone remembers us, no one is insolidarity with us, thedesperation eats us up inside, andwhat we think would be ourgreatest weapon to confrontadversity was crushed by thewalls of silence, our willshattered, and so your projectsbecome of little relevance, you getdiscouraged easily, the futurebecomes uncertain, you start tolose interest in life, and oneanguishing night you end uphanging yourself in your cell.

So in order to not fall into thesekinds of dynamics it is importantto observe oneself constantly andto be evaluating ourselves,clinging to the things/people/circumstances that make us well,and distancing ourselves from theharmful (as much as possible),because certainly to reach a stateof carceral psychosis is not amatter of one day or another, it isa monster that goes on growing inof our minds and hearts with thepassing of times, and it iseffectively a gradual process that

58

we can become aware of andcombat before it is too late.

I should say that nobody ever toldme what permanent confinementmeant (much less how to confrontit), my most real encounters werethe anecdotes of one book oranother, and the rest wasexperienced through myimagination, with this, I am neversaying that today I was not readyto assume the costs of thepostures I had chosen in life, but itdefinitely would have been agreat help to me. Fine, but at leastin my case I have tried to face thisarming myself with projects tocontribute to, even from mycondition, it is important to findsense in your days, they can besimple things, reading a book andgiving your opinion, writing withothers who are imprisoned or not,creating music/poetry, learning todraw, exercising your body, etc;but here I make an note, our mostimportant projects, at least inpermanent confinement, shouldbe those that are needed onlyfrom our readiness and will, andtherefore, I do not foreclose on thepossibility of contributing inprojects that are beyond ourphysical limitations, but one mustkeep in consideration that thesecan bring oceans of frustrationswith them: someone doesn’t cometo visit, does not write me back,forgets to bring this or that, thatwe organize ourselves aroundcertain themes, and if our sensesof life are limited in turn to justprojects in the street, with a fewtrip-ups of this kind we will betaken down in terms of moralemore or less quickly; therefore Ibelieve that one must maintaintwo kinds of projects, one thatmakes us maintain contact withthe other side of the wall, and theother that must do more thananything with an individuallabor, that can generate itself evenin conditions of maximumconfinement, something thathappens in unfortunate cases, beit loss of communication with theoutside, or the seizure only of thematerial we use for our individualprojects, so we do not decline inmorale. It is important to createsupport networks for oneself in

order to not crumble along theway, to be observant and analyzewhat the prison reality offers youand to take from it what youdeem convenient, which is to saythat if the prison keeps you intotal isolation you can takeadvantage of the silence of thissituation to read, write or reflect,alternatively if it offers you thecourtyard you can take advantageof it to exercise or talk with otherprisoners (one can always learnsomething useful), and thus in asubstantial way the possibility ofelaborating an escape plan or amutiny always existsindependently of the regimen theysubmit us to.

If I am to speak about another oneof the possible consequences ofthis war that some fill theirmouths with so much, it would beto say that to be recognized as anenemy of authority is not easy,less so when you are labeled as aterrorist in the media, your socialenvironment is affected almostunanimously, family members,friends and comrades take offrunning, turn their backs on youand often deny they ever knewyou, few are the brave who dareto remain with you, the publicopinion does its work andthrough all the possible methodsthe system tries to isolate you,they don’t have to get their handsdirty with the death penaltyanymore, these days the methodsare more sophisticated anddemocratic, they make your lifecease to have meaning becausethey distance you fromeverything that you are a part of,and they don’t just do thisphysically by getting you in acage, but also psychologically toreduce your convictions, theydemonize you collectively, theyerase the memory of what youonce were and they transformyou into a television case, in afailed explosive attack, in a bankrobbery with a policeman killed,or into a member of a phantasmicterrorist organization, you arethat, you are your letter ofpresentation, to such an extentthat if you don’t become awarethat you are much more thanwhat the press says, you end up

believing it; and the best examplecan be given by Mauri [MauricioMorales, killed during an anarchistaction in Chile., 2009] – why is heknown for an unsuccessful May22 and has anyone ever heard ofthe times when he helped someelderly people in hisneighborhood with their heavyshopping bags? We ourselves areresponsible for reducing him to adate on the calendar. Societystrikes you psychically, your daysno longer have the sense they didbefore, you are worth nothing andyou have ruining the lives ofeveryone around you — Whykeep existing? Why cause morepain? They no longer need to staintheir hands with your blood;please, we are civilized people,instead they incite you to finishyourself off, because they havereduced you to a mere episode,you are that, a terrorist who onlyknows how to create pain aroundhim, and so the best thing you cando is to do your loved ones afavor, that is if you still haveanything of a heart left, and endyour life. This is the hiddendiscourse that reproduces ourshiny Chilean democracy, thereare no longer any revolutionaries,now they minimize us as mereterrorists, because clearly arevolutionary is someone withfeelings, with ideas, love offreedom and a companion of theoppressed, that is, someone worthimitating, instead the terrorist is ashadow with impunity who hasno heart and is obsessed with theuse of violence due to pastchildhood traumas — so how toface this situation?

For my part I have learned to keeppublic opinion at bay, which isusually the opinion of thebourgeois press, with the simpleact of analyzing their role onemanages to halt much of theirdiscourse, although I will notdeny that many times in theirwork they have hurt me deeply,above all when you becomeaware of these opinions comingfrom the mouths of people youlove, when they are the ones whoput you between the spade andthe wall: either kill yourself orkeep hurting us, wow, how

59

difficult, how intense, then it isyour turn to decide, you or they,you or those you love most, and ifyou choose yourself what sensewill life have without them? Willyou choose yourself? Do you lovethem so little? You? Them? Theinstinct of survival or your love?Which is stronger? Apparentlyneither is the correct alternative,but I choose my life, if I do not lovemyself, it is impossible for me tolove others. And I end upexpelling various persons frommy life and from my heart foralways, I keep going, alone andwounded like that predawn,confused, with death stalking meand red in flames of ire, life hit meagain, but it is only anotherchapter and I get up again, thistime with the help of what wasnever missing: solidarity. Now Ireflect on it, one year after thebombing that almost cost me mylife, and I do not repent thesedecisions, the pain was better, likethe bomb, it was momentary, butlife continued and the suffering ofthese episodes went diffused withthe passing of time, life continues,struggle continues, and what isinsurmountable today willtomorrow be nothing more than astory, another chapter in thisexistence of combat.

At this point I have spoken of twopossible consequences inrevolutionary struggle, prisonand being recognized as an enemyof society, but I have not spoken ofthe consequence that is mostnoted in my case, the mutilationof our bodies and how we cankeep fighting in spite of this. If Iam to speak of healing and howthe mutilation of our bodiesbecomes like a cross that one mustcarry for life, I believe that it isimportant to point out that eachcase is particular, having itswindows and own difficulties.But I suppose that in the finalcount there are enoughsimilarities. At first you arediscouraged, it is like a cataclysmthat dusted your life away and allbeautiful feelings find themselvesunder the rubble of mutilation,desires that what happened toyou had only been a bad dreamthat you will soon wake up from,

you become obstinate toward theobvious, this could not havehappened to you, there must bean explanation, but the onlyexplanation is the one the mirrorgives you, the days pass, you getdepressed, you think that you willnever get past it, you need to askfor help for some basic tasks andthis causes you an uncomfortablehumiliation, you become hatefuland this new situation frustratesyou, the people who try toencourage you notice yourresignation, life like this does notmake sense, but they applythemselves to support you inspite of your mood, you areirritated, you don’t want to doexercises or rehabilitate yourself,you want to send everything tothe shit, take your life away, thisseems to be an option, but you areafraid that in the attempt you willend up worse off, you areconfused, you cry in the nights ofsolitude and you make yourselflike a wild beast in front of others,you are wounded you know, butyou have to heal your heart to beable to start to recover. If youmanage to make it this far, youhave taken a step forward in thepath toward victory, yourvictory, because this is a battle,now you should arm yourselfwith patience, frustration is justaround the corner, one, two, three,one hundred falls, nobody said itwould be easy, but look atyourself, you don’t do it very well,but you do it, and alone, withouthelp, a pat on the back, the rest ispractice they tell you, if you coulddo it once, you can do it again, youlook around you, physically youare alone, and you accomplish it:you smile. How long has it beensince you smiled? You don’t needto show it to anyone, you haveshown it to yourself, you are awarrior giving one of your bestfights, you resign yourself not todie, this is for the brave, a fewmore stumbles, ridicule from theusual suspects, reality takes careof putting you on the uphill, youlay it on yourself, it is difficult,but you already did not renounceyourself, that is a fact, you lookback, you’ve come a long way tocollapse here, now you havereasons to continue, you cannot

fail all of them, the who you loveand who want to see you happy,but above all, you cannot failyourself, you told yourself thisonce when things were difficult,you are a warrior for life, and youclench your teeth against theshame, sometimes you sayhorrible things, you areimplacable in front of yourself,other times you feel the proudestin the world, you did not fall inspite of everything, the days moveforward, you start to take in theritual of all this, you no longerturn sour before your reflection,you begin to accept it, you learnthings that are new for thiscontext, but not so new for lifeitself, you relearn to learn, thingsnow are seen in a different nuanceand one afternoon with the sunstill as company you set theultimatum, if I do not remake mylife by this date then I will not goon with this madness…

Finally you persist, you manageto get past it, that date arriveswhen you have to make theevaluation of your performanceand the smile on your face revealsthat you have passed the textwith success and excellence, thenyou do not feel disabled norincapacitated, nor anything, youare another warrior, ready to faceanything.

As for what concerns my case inparticular, I suppose that whathappened to me was whathappens in the majority of seriousaccidents, I wanted to seek a rapidand simple solution (death), butsome provoked me, some veryrudely, at least they tried to, andso, clinging to solidarity I kept onuntil the recovery began to giveits first results, now with thisbackground I got it into my headthat I could get myself up out ofthis fall, I remember that thestubbornness and obstinacyplayed much in my favor, sincethere were people who did notgive a shit about my recovery(including medical specialists),but in the end I would make thebest judgment myself, it wouldonly a question of time, I alsoremember that I went throughmany embarrassments that I

60

would prefer not to disclosehahaha, and these happenedbecause I went against time in myrecovery, I tried to do/practiceeverything, even without havingrehearsed things, and I say that Iwent against time because Iwanted to go into the prison asrecovered as possible, I did notwant to even think of a prisonguard assisting me, I luckily thatnever happened. After going intothe prison on November 22 with atight stomach and high morale, Iprepared to take advantage of thisnew situation of total confinementto finish with rehabilitatingcompletely, and there was no lackof times when they ridiculed mefor my physical condition, but inthe face of these situations I bitmy tongue and thought thatsooner or later they would regrettheir jokes, because I knew betterthan anyone that they werespitting at the sky, soon I wouldbe totally recovered and theywould not dare to speak to methat way; the time passed, I tookmy time, I went as slow as aturtle, I exercised every daywithout a break, whether it wascold or hot, I was disciplined withmyself, and it was a question ofPractice, Patience andPerseverance (the 3 “P”s like I toldyou) to find myself totallyrecovered, and well, here I am,look at me one year after thebombing that almost killed me.Who said that I would bite themud of humiliation forever? Whosaid that I would be defeated forthe rest of my life? Who said thatthe struggle does not make usgreat? If my ideas can bring me tolose my life, they can also bringme to recover it, that was alwaysmy gamble, and so I have thrownmyself with all my strength intothe fight, because I recognize in itthe greatness to break the chains,and it is a matter of observing mein the everyday to confirm thisassertion, if with telling you that Ican even thread a needle, like this,as I am, with 8 of the 10 fingers ofmy hands, I can tie my shoelaces,cook, wash, make nice origamicubes and if it pleases me I caneven carry out all the tasks that Idid before, clearly, the only smalldifference is that it takes me a

little longer, but that is such asmall detail, so insignificant if youcompare with how close I was todeath, with what passed over,because after everything I alwaysknew it, for revolutionariesimpossibilities do not exist, andmy splendid recovery is proof ofthat.

What matters is to never lose thespirit of struggle, not ever, it doesnot matter how terrible thingslook, but while your mind andyour heart do not betray you therest becomes mere detail, ourbodies can weaken, it is true, butwhat makes us great has nothingto do with flesh and bones, whatturns us into giants are ourconvictions, our spirit of knowingthat we do what is correct.

Now, I write these lines not onlyto warn of the awful consequencesthat revolutionary struggle canbring with it, I also do it tocontribute in the creation of newand not so new methods forconfronting the difficult journeysthat we can carry our decisionsalong. And And it is that on thisoccasion I can contribute withsome examples, through which Iencourage other comrades toshare their experiences, since thepossibilities of struggle areinfinite, madness, rape, exile,mutilation, victory, torture,clandestinity, laughter,imprisonment, pain, betrayal,amnesia, dependency, beatings,humiliation, death, all of these,none, others, and so many more,and how many of the warriors inthe street today who fight againstpower and its designs know this?That is, how prepared are we toassume the costs of the social warif we do not know these kinds ofthings? Can we speak of notrepenting without having all thisin consideration? Do weunderstand the significance ofprison? What it brings with it? Ordo we comprehend what it carrieswhen a comrade is mad? How fardo we understand theconsequences of declaringourselves enemies of the State/Capital?

In a struggle against the system in

its totality, we have everything tolose, and do we accept theseconditions before we embark onthe search for our dreams? I am ofthe idea of knowing what one isinvolved in, so as to also know toabide by the consequences,assuming them and coming outgracefully through them, becauseotherwise what happens is whata dear and close compañerawarned of: we turn ourselves intothe worst propaganda of struggle.

If we think carefully, it should notsurprise us that many comradesof before have chosen self-exile asa response to some of theseconsequences, and it really verydifficult to continue the fight in anarea where through the mediaand socially the system cries foryour annihilation, in the end howcan one confront the system whenit is obsessed with confrontingyou, having you individualized,located and pointed out? Now, Ibelieve that if it is indeed true thatthe exile of before served to hidebehind the comfort of a normallife, far from the criminalization ofrevolutionary ideas, today, andwith the validity of the proposalof the comrades of the Conspiracyof Cells of Fire, of arming anInternational RevolutionaryFront, it remains clear that it doesnot matter whether we findourselves prisoners, exiles inanother region, or clandestine onanother continent, the struggle isonly one and it surpasses thebarriers of nations and borders,because independently of thelanguage we speak or theidiosyncrasies that differentiateus, the struggle continues to beagainst structures of power,against the values of authorityand against the logic ofexploitation and domination,bonding us in this way with eachand every one of the warriorswho fight for the same objectiveas ourselves: freedom. I recognizemyself in the internationaliststruggle, since I know first-handits excellent results, which is whyI take advantage of this instanceto unite myself to the proposal ofthe comrades in Greece,embracing the initiative of theFAI/FRI as a project that appeals

61

to the same criteria as I, hopingthat this communique can be atrue and real contribution, aboveall for the comrades who live insituations similar to mine and/orto those who in an unwantedfuture will have to pass throughthis.

If I am to make a balance of allthis, one year after the bombingthat almost cost me my life, myresult is positive, very positive,and I will not deny that thingswere difficult, because there weredays dark as the depths of the sea,when everything was crumblingaround me, my life as I hadconstructed it went to shit, butthis helped me, with the paincaused, to learn that all this I hadbuilt I had not made sufficientlysolidly as to endure the praxis ofmy discourse, if family, friends,comrades and lovers took offflying away from my side, tospeak much more profoundlythan just physically, to see myselfin this situation where manythought that it would be betterfor me to just sink alone before Iwould take more people downwith me, since they believe that Iwould never get back up fromthis, if all these peopleunderestimated me because intheir smallness they thought thatthey themselves wouldn’t be ableto stand such a fall as mine, todaythey are not at my side, it is onlyfor their mediocrity, becauseknow this: I do not lack theaffection to forgive them, aftereverything, not one of us wasprepared for this. But for all therudeness of my words and life,there was no lack of gestures oflove and absolute dedication,making me know that in spite ofeverything they were with me, inthe good and in the bad, until theend, reaffirming bonds alreadyforged, perhaps only withincredulous gazes ofcompanionship, with one oranother conversation walkingaround the block, sharing a snackor fraternally criticizing eachother on the bench of a plaza.

Power wanted me out of the fight,they wanted to suspend meeternally in June 1st 2011, and

they even try to do it today, it issomething to observe why I amknown and where I find myself,but for me none of this is over, Iwill continue, I will get up, I willshow my claws again and I willkeep fighting, confronting theenemy constantly, as in my besttimes, because I am not a warriorwho must be remembered withlonging, I am another companion,another one of the pack, only inthe bowels of the prison beast, allthat differentiates me from thecompanions in the street is thesituation that we face, but if youare able to risk your freedom andeven life in the struggle thatbonds us, why should it bedifferent for me? One year afterthe failed attack on the Santanderbank branch, I have raised myselfwith ferocity, I won, even though Isit on the bench of the accused,because I knew to take the reignsof my life with my own hands, Itriumphed in the face of the life ofcommerce that they want toimpose on us and in the face ofdeath as the only exit, but thisvictory is not only mine, whatarrogance it would be on my partto believe so, because if it were notfor the bold comrades who daredto send me their encouragementand care, know this for certainthat today I would not be writingthese lines, and so, we, thecombatants of the new urbanguerrilla, are their defeat.

To all those beautiful people whounderstand that the social war ismuch more than bombs, bulletsand benzine, and who know thatsolidarity is much more than ahobby to invest your free time in,to all those who cannot pacifytheir dreaming while they knowthat one of their own is suffering,to those who if they did not havethe free time kept looking for it,skipping work or class becausethey know that it depended onthem to raise a comrade’s morale,to all those who took on the funand exciting adventure ofconquering freedom, to thecomrades of the FAI/FRI, to mydear friend Reyhard Rumbayan(Eat), who with his noble gestureshas brought me strength when Iwas weak, to all those absolved of

the bombs case frame-up, whosefreedom meant a smile for mewhen it seemed it would be atorment, to the comrades of theConspiracy of Cells of Fire, whowith their dignity motivate me tocontinue fighting, to GabrielPombo da Silva, MarcoCamenisch, and to all thecomrades investigated andarrested in the repressive raidagainst the anarchist movement inItaly, to Mauri who taught me thata wolf clenches his jaw even afterdeath, to the autonomouscollectives who attack withdecisiveness, to the companionswho are clandestine, exiled orhostage, to the brave solidarians,to the conscious rebels, to all of youI dedicate these lines, I send you awarm embrace and I owe you thedetermination of keeping me alive,because you have to know, youwere oxygen when there was none.

Because when you shouted “strengthcompañero“ I felt stronger than ever!Because neither prison nor agony nordeath will detain us!

Long live the InternationalRevolutionary Front!Long live the Informal AnarchistFederation! Death to the State!The struggle continues!Toward victory, always!

Letter from Mario“Tripa” Lopez

Here is the first letter of the anarchistcomrade Mario Lopez, written on June29, while he was in the hospital. Hesuffered severe wounds after theexplosion of an incendiary device in theearly hours of June 27 2012 in MexicoCity. On July 17 Mario was transferredto the prison infirmary Reklousorio Sur,where he is expected to remain for aboutone month before being transferred to acell. When the comrade was captured bythe cops, a warrant was issued for hiscomrade Felicity Ann Ryder who is nowon the run. Below, we have letters ofboth of them.

Hello dear comrades, as youalready will know (inside andoutside of Mexico) I find myselfhospitalized due to injuries to myshin, leg, and right arm. At themoment I’m “ok” given thesituation, I am concerned aboutmy health and am also concernedabout several things which I’llexpand upon in a few points.First the fact of writing now andnot later. Well, this is easy becausephysically I have the ability to doso and because in the future whenthey charge or sentence me thecontrol will be greater andcommunication will be moredifficult.

ABOUT MY HEALTHWell, I have three fairly seriousburns, the first on the right leg,the second is a hole from once sideof my arm to the other, and thelast is on the right shin. Bad if oneday I go back to practicing MuayThai. In the hospital the nursesand doctors are behaving great,

when the lawyer told me thateveryone was outside. It gave megoosebumps that independent ofthe differences of how we seethings, the paths to follow, themeans, etc. It showed me thatrelationships are also builtthrough mutual knowledge. Sometake one path or decisions, othersothers, but at the end of the roadis absolute freedom.

ABOUT HOW I’VE IDENTIFIEDMYSELFSince the bomb exploded I haveidentified myself as an anarchistin spite of the “consequences” thatmy way of life, struggles andideas can lead to. The federalpolice arrived and tried to turnme and of course I did not acceptit. Three years less in jail for beinga snitch is not worth it, not even ifit was 30.

Regarding the motives that led meto carry out this action, they aremore than my futile andcontradictory statements to theprosecutors who never stoppedpressuring me. In short, as ananarchist, I don’t consider thatthis type of situation or politicalmoment should be the startingpoint for projecting our struggle,as building-destruction is thedaily construction of our personsand of our goals. I only consider itnecessary to draw a clear lineregarding political partieswithout contradicting the abovestatement. Even more so in thesetimes where populist discourses(democratic left or right) can beconfused with our proposals andideas of freedom. The IFE (FederalElections Institute), PRD (Party ofthe Democratic Revolution), are acouple more institutions that arejust like a bank or a police stationthat conform to the machinery ofthe system.

This is my statement to thecomrades and not to themuddling and manipulativequestions of the police, who,without any form of counsel mademe fall into unbeneficial positionsfor my case…but you are the oneswho are most important.I identify myself as an anarchistenemy of any kind of State and ofcapital, each chooses the methods

including nicknaming me“bombiux” and I have hope insaving my leg.

ABOUT THE LEGALSITUATIONHere the problem is that anotherperson is now implicated becausewe made the error of carrying inthe backpack which remained atthe scene her ID and because ofthat they identified her and linkedher with a video of the area.Yesterday (June 28) they told methat she was detained, or ratherwith their words: “now we’ve gotyour girlfriend” … they said shemade a statement against me andwell, the same story. First, theywanted (and want) me to claimthe attack on a bank in Tlalpan: “Ido not accept this,” then theywould say it was my comrade(now that she was identified) whodid it: “I do not accept this,” andfinally they wanted me to namemore people who did it andobviously I did not accept this.Regarding my comrade they cameto corroborate her physicalinformation and all of this in frontof a state lawyer.

ABOUT MEI stated that I did everything frombeginning to end and that I wasindividually responsible for thisact (or attempt), of course thisstatement was made underpressure, with the army, with themarines, with the military camp#1 and also I was in a state ofphysical and psychologicalweakness as a result of theanaelgesics and the surgery onmy leg. Even so, I maintained thisdeclaration with the goal of notdirectly involving more comradesin my problem. I, as an anarchist,comply (as far as possible) withthe consequences andresponsibilities derived from myindividual act. Therefore, Ideclared myself responsible forthis act from beginning to end, mycomrade was only there at themoment when the deviceexploded and the most seriouserror was having her ID with us.

ABOUT THE SOLIDARITYFROM COMRADESYesterday I almost cried (andtoday while writing this letter)

63

or means according to theircriteria, but the struggle is a dailyone, inside and outside of theprisons. To the comrades insolidarity and to the AnarchistBlack Cross, a strong, combativehug and thank you for being withmy mother, she understands thesituation.

Greetings to Luciano Pitronello!Solidarity with all prisoners of war andpolitical prisoners in the struggle!Solidarity with the comrades who areprisoners in Italy!For the destruction of the prisons!Social war on all fronts!Long live anarchy!The claim of responsibility begins!

Mario, El Tripa “The Gut”June 2012

Second letter frominjured anarchistMario López

Compañer@s, I’ll try to make this asbrief as possible, as I’ll have morethan enough time in the future tolay out my stance and myreflections. My position remainsthe same: I claim myselfabsolutely as an Anarchist andthe only one responsible for myacts. For now, I’ll limit myself tothanking my compañer@s ofaffinity for their solidarity and to“denounce” just a few deeds ofmany within this deceitful processwhich all began the moment Iclaimed myself an Anarchist, ofwhich I do not regret. Neverapologetic!

1. I want to denounce the totalcomplicity of the physicians of theRuben Leñero General Hospital ofMexico City with the PublicMinistry concerning themodification of the declarations sothat they would coincide withthose of the accusatory part. Withthis I refer specifically to thedeclaration, the same one that was

that the declaration was not mine,based on the graphologyinvestigation that they made inwhich the declaration clearly doesnot match my hand-writing.

4. From my ingression to theSouth Remand Centre and equallyduring my stay in the hospital, thePublic Ministry has tried to isolateme by all means possible. Theyhave impeded my visits, onlyletting my mother see me once aweek. As well they have tried toput me in an unhygienic place thatis not apt for my recuperation,which thankfully has not gone asbadly as it could thanks to the factthat the doctors here have beenable to keep me in a relativelyclean area. During my reclusion inthe Ruben Leñero GeneralHospital, with the complicity ofthe director and of the physiciansin charge, they kept me in an areathat was inadequate for theattention of my wounds, withpermanent custody around mybed and at the mercy of theinterrogators. I should point outthat all of this the same policeofficers cynically pointed out tome, threatening to contaminateme with severe infections giventhe lack of hygiene surroundingme.

5. Also I want to make public theconstant harassment that mylawyers are suffering for havingaccepted to bring about my case.This includes visits to their homesand intimidation of familymembers, humiliations andthreatening comments, amongother things. This just adds to thelong list of acts that go against mycase.

6. I want to show my publicappreciation to the rest of theprisoners of the area where I findmyself, because they have helpedme with the medicines, food,personal hygiene and to maintainmy area more or lessclean, all of which will help me getbetter quickly.

Compañer@s, lastly I would like toclarify that all of thesedenunciations and declaration arenot meant to make myself a victim

taken only two or three hoursafter surgical intervention, stillunder anaesthetic, and withstrong vomiting and dizziness. Inthe context of such a cowardlycomplicity, a registry is neededfrom a juridical physician whomust confirm that I was capable ofgiving a declaration, when noteven did the physician notexamine me adequately, theynever even asked any questions atall as to my state of physical andmental health.

2. As I have said since thebeginning, I accepted to somedegree my absolute responsibility.As an individual I am, beforemyself and only myself,responsible for my acts, for thatreason from the moment of myarrest I have claimed myself anAnarchist. However, havinganalysed with detail thedeclarations, I have found manythings that I never said, but thatgiven the situation it was obviousthat they were going to alter them.Precisely here is where the statelawyer’s complicity comes in, whowas obviously in favour of thePublic Ministry, lending himself toall of this set-up.

3. Furthermore, I denounce thatthe judge who is bringing aboutmy case is clearly colluding withthe Public Ministry. From the verymoment that I changed lawyer,rejecting the public “defence”, thejudge has put many traps andbarriers in our way, with theobvious intention of avoiding atany cost my lawyers taking on mycase. The most cynical of thesedebacles was the refusal of thejudge to accept the evidencepresented by my lawyers whichshows that I did not write the firstdeclaration, as the judge complicitwith the Public Ministry claims,due to being immobile for theeffects of the anaesthesia whichdidn’t even permit me to read (Iread only two lines of theirdeclaration before vomitingbecause of the dizziness), and evenless was I able to write, for whichthey forced me to sign thedeclaration. Moreover, it has to beunderlined that the judge didn’taccept the evidence that confirmed

64

nor do they have the end of askingfor compassion from our eternalenemies: the judges, policeand the rest of the mercenaries ofthe system of domination. I asknothing from them and I willnever beg for my freedom. All ofthe “juridical process” we arebringing about as a mere strategy,nothing more. I write these lines tomake my situation known to mycompañer@s of affinity, to myfriends, family and to the greatmesh of complicit compas insolidarity around the world. Afterreflecting deeply during all ofthese days, it is very possible thatfrom here on I start to refuse tocollaborate with theinterrogations and declarations ofthe accusatory part, somethingthat I should have done from thestart. Although legally it mightnot be a good strategy, as somehave advised me, this decisionwould more be related to myconvictions and a consequence ofmy position on authority and anytype of power.

This experience has been verydifficult, but with strength, a lot ofrage and with the complicity ofmy close ones, I keep on going.

Thanks to all of you for yoursupport!

If from the start I accepted theresponsibility of my actions it wasalso in part because I didn’t wishto involve more compañer@s ofideas in my individual acts. Again,I appreciate all of the solidarityfrom you all and for the actsdirected at my support and that ofFelicity, without devaluing any-each has its own weight and itsown importance.

I also thank the compas of the CCF-Greece for their words, which gave mestrength to keep going. Solidarity is ourbest weapon.

Never defeated, never repenting!¡Que Viva la Anarquia!

“Tripa”Anarchist prisoner of theGovernment of Mexico City,Mexico

Letter from FelicityAnn Ryder; abouther non-arrest andmore

Comrades, friends,

I would have liked to have writtenearlier, but for variouscircumstances I haven´t had thechance to yet. I want to send awarm greeting and say thanks toeveryone who has worried aboutme and my situation, to those whohave shown solidarity with Marioand I. In these difficult moments itmeans a lot to have peoplestanding in solidarity from nearor from far, even without everhaving met me. I sent arevolutionary hug to all of you.

I want to clarify that despite all ofthe lies of the Mexico City policeforces and the mass media, I wasnever arrested and they never hadme detained in any of theirprisons. I have tried to understandwhy they would have said thatand spread such false informationthroughout Mexico as well asAustralia, but at the end of theday, as a free person I don´t thinklike a police officer, and I won´t beable to understand. If it was to tryin vain to break or manipulateMario, to manipulate my family,or to try to appear half competentin doing their jobs, I don´t know.What I do know is that I am proudof being an Anarchist, and proudto be an enemy of authority andthe State.
