Statement from Miguel Balderos – Prison Diary of a Mad Anarchist Arsonist

“If I had to do it all over again, I would have done a better job of burning the City Attorney’s office to the ground and City Hall too. I would have incinerated that entire block of offices (a nest of vipers) with all their asses in it successfully and would live to work on the courthouse next.”

Switzerland: Communique from Silvia Guerini about her hunger strike

“So the media talked about “ecoterrorists” and not about what is being prepared in the laboratories of IBM: tomorrow’s world. A future that is already here. The artifical will take the place of the natural in a change so deep that will affect our own way of seeing, of feeling, of perceiving the world around us, ourselves, our relationships, the meaning itself of being humans and living beings.

from negasi, rough translation by war on society:

Brothers Billy & Eat,

It has been four months that you have been locked up behind bars at the hands of the state. A tool of repression that restricts your physical space, but–we are sure–not the imagination, passion and revenge in your hearts. Continue reading

Argentina: Incendiary attack on 23rd precinct patrol car

from culmine, translated by war on society:

It is not surprising that they torture prisoners in the prisons, nor is it surprising that they spread the idea that an “impact” on the Earth is necessary in order to keep living connected to a cellphone, and since “the people” use those apparatuses, they must be in favor of the mineral exploitation that–as they “inform” us–does not contaminate but rather produces a necessary “impact” on the Earth in order to benefit society.

Chile: Claim of responsibility for incendiary attack on BBVA bank in Santiago

from culmine, translated by war on society with thanks to vivalaanarquia for help with idioms:

I begin by spitting words at the fucking “social fighters” who believe yourselves to be so socially beloved and so accepted that in your Robin Hood complex you don’t have any idea of how gigantic this monster that imprisons us every day is, fucking imbeciles! Don’t you understand that not only the “prisoners” in the prisons are “prisoners”? You think idiots living a life of work, boredom, surrender and submission are not “prisoners”? I shit on all of your discourse of the superheroes of the people and in passing I shit on the people and the workers, it is the fault of the citizens that we are up to our necks in cement, authorities and chains. Since you are not disposed to attack and confront the palpable and obviously objective enemy and since your only idea of the attack is to throw stones at the cops, I declare you my eternal enemy to the death… we are about to confront each other, the hour already arrives, cowards of shit… Continue reading

Seattle, WA: Claim of responsibility for attacks on three banks

from pugetsoundanarchists:

On Monday, February 6 around 7 P.M. The windows of three banks on capital hill had their windows busted out. Flyers were strewn explaining to passerby’s why they were targeted. The banks Chase, Key bank and an U.S. Bank were hit. We did this in response to the police actions against occupy oakland on January 28th in their attempt to occupy an empty building for use by the occupy movement. We choose banks because they are concrete symbols of the exploitative capitalist system we all live under and the poverty of everyday life within it. Continue reading

Chile: “Bombs Case” political trial update (January 16 to 27)

 from solidaridadporlxspresxs, translated by war on society:

Deadlines

After completing two months of a grueling trial with hearings every day, the political trial continues against the 5 comrades: Omar Hermosilla, Carlos Riveros, Francisco Solar, Felipe Guerra and Mónica Caballero. After two months, almost 50 witnesses and experts of the accusers have paraded through, with most of the evidence still remaining to be shown in what is estimated to be one of the longest trials in history. The court, wearied of so many witnesses, experts and trivial pieces of evidence and the extensive and unilluminating questioning on the part of the prosecution, announced that if they presented all the evidence at this pace the court had calculated that the trial would last 3 years and that is impossible they said, there does not exist a court capable of withstanding that so would the prosecution try to get to the point in questioning their witnesses.
