Argentina: Burning of bourgeois cars in Palermo

from vivalaanarquia, transl waronsociety:

In the midst of comments around the arson of two cars in Palermo on Tuesday May 22nd, we make it known that “los trapitos” or “cuida-coches” [these are names for poor people who offer to look after the cars of people who are, for example, dining in a restaurant – transl] had nothing to do with this since it was an action of “los quema-coches” [the car-burners] or “the heirs to the molotov” as the bourgeois press like to say in reference to “Friends of the Earth.” Continue reading

In a demonstration on Sunday evening, Chris was arrested along with several others in a barrage of police violence.

Chile: Summary of the bombs case trial April 30 to May 18

from solidaridadporlxspresxs, transl waronsociety:

The defense lawyers begin their evidence.

Obviously more quickly and concisely, the experts and witnesses began to testify on behalf of the accused. In the first place there was the comrade Francisco Solar‘s defense, where they ended by discrediting the much feared and at the same time insignificant and imprecise “traces of explosive,” then came the comrade Mónica Caballero‘s defense bringing a resident of the squatted house la Crota denying all the fantasies that they said about “safe houses” or places strictly restricted for the fabrication and planning of explosive devices.

Bolivia: Explosive attack at ATM of the “Great Military Barracks of Miraflores” (updated with video)

the place where the ATM was

from culmine, transl waronsociety:

Three years since punky Mauri’s death in combat…

Living memory was not born to serve as ink. Its vocation is more as catapult. It does not want to be a place of arrival but rather a port of embarking. It does not deny nostalgia but it prefers hope, its dangers, its stormy weather.”    Jean-Marc Rouillan

The irreducible desire for freedom brings us to persevere in the intransigent passion for destroying this society, in the obstinate path of those who refuse to consent and who fight in order to live, in the lively motivation of constructing in the everyday those utopias that have filled so many books; today that “we” does not recognize authority and fights the carceral norms, defies geographic and linguistic barriers, and expands and deepens around the world, today that “we” explodes always more charged with memory, since it has learned from errors, from small victories and from proud examples of courage.

Atlanta, GA: Communique for attack on Human Genetics Department

from anews:

Well that was easy. And fun.

We threw bricks through the windows of Emory’s Department of Human Genetics. Tucked away right next to the local grocery store. So many of these buildings of Capital, Science, and Finance sleep soundly in the beds of local strip malls and shopping centers. Continue reading

from occupychicago:

Chicago, IL— Occupy Chicago has obtained photographs of suspected police informants, who according to witnesses and arrestees were part of a law enforcement operation, which has resulted in the prosecution of 5 NATO protesters on terrorism-related charges.

by the Cell of the imprisoned members of CCF/FAI/IRF

It is not easy to write about a comrade you never met. Since the day that the damned news came from distant Chile, we’ve been embittered. A comrade lost his life in the explosion of a bomb that he was carrying in order to place it in the academy of the gendarmerie. Continue reading

Ecuador: Bruno Fillipi Cell of Iconoclastic Individuals of FAI/IRF attacks Coca Cola bottling industry

from culmine, transl waronsociety:

I’d like to lay down in a soft bed, fragranced with roses…
“Watch out for thorns,” they tell me.
And what do I care? Given that thorns are not lacking in life,
I prefer those of roses that give so much joy along with the pain.

Today, Tuesday May 22nd 2012, at 3:00 AM we placed an explosive device which contained 3 sticks of dynamite in the electric energy source of one of the primary vertebrae of the capitalist system: the bottling industry of “Coca-Cola” located on Av. Juan Tanca Marengo Km 4.5 in the city of Guayaquil. Continue reading
