Viva La Anarquia

From the mainstream $hilean news:

SANTIAGO, Chile — Tens of thousands of people massed in the center of Chile’s capital Friday night for new protests against the government’s plan to dam two wild rivers in the country’s southern Patagonia region.

Demonstrations have spread across the country, in at least nine major cities.

Most demonstrators were peaceful, but bands of hooded protesters attacked police and smashed shop windows and damaged other property along a 10-block stretch of Santiago’s main avenue.

Demonstrators, some holding up candles, gather during a protest in front of La Moneda government palace in Santiago, Chile, Friday, May 20, 2011. The protest was against a some $7 billion project by the multinational consortium HidroAysen to dam two of the world’s wildest rivers in Chile’s Patagonia for electricity. The project recently won environmental approval from a Chilean government commission, despite a groundswell of opposition. The dams would flood part of the area, requiring the relocation of its residents. The sign reads in Spanish “No to HidroAysen. Patagonia without dams.”

The protesters started at the Plaza Italia and walked peacefully to the front of La Moneda presidential palace, carrying flags and banners denouncing the hydroelectric project that was approved for Patagonia on May 9.

At that point, hundreds of masked people began throwing rocks at police, who responded with water cannons and tear gas. The masked bands tore off metal bars and scaffolding timbers to use against police, trashed stores, wrecked signs and set fire to trash piles.

The march came a week after another protest against the planned HidroAysen project saw clashes between some demonstrators and police. Authorities had suspended police use of tear gas after that violence, but reinstated its use before Friday’s march, citing threats of violence.

Environmentalists and others are angry over the $7 billion plan to build five dams on two free-running rivers in a mostly roadless region of Patagonia known for picturesque Andean glaciers and stunning deep green valleys and fjords.

Sharpening our fangs to sink them into the throats of our enemies

On Tuesday, May 17, about ten comrades with our faces covered decided to launch an action of attack against the police forces. At around 1pm, we took the entrance of the philosophy faculty of the University of Chile (located in Grecia), erected barricades, and prepared molotov cocktails for attacking the police.

Once the repressive agents of the State arrived, they were received with bottles, paint bombs and molotovs.

The confrontations lasted approximately 30 minutes, without a single comrade being injured or captured by the lapdogs of power.

Nevertheless certain events occurred during the action that deserve emphasis. While the Minister of the Interior Hinzpeter reported that tear gas canisters would not be used by carabineros, these were indeed weapons of the police in this instance (used rather clumsily, it is worth noting). Not only did they resort to the use of tear gas, water and gas cannons, but also one officer who passed through the place drew his service weapon and threatened to kill a handful of comrades, although the threats did not proceed further. Also during the action, a patrolman of the PDI passed through the place and was attacked by the comrades with a molotov, which provoked the civil police, drawing their uzi submachine guns, although they withdrew them. On both occasions the police used their weapons for intimidation, but the comrades did not retreat and continued with the action.

Our withdrawal was undertaken in regard to the situation, namely the exhaustion of our offensive materials, and at no moment due to the clumsy actions of the police.

We wish to dedicate this action to our comrades of the “bombs case,” who fortunately left the prison behind and find themselves on “house arrest,” but we do not lower our guard and we advocate the proliferation of actions whether collective or individual in solidarity with them, since even the trial does not end.

We also want solidarity with the political prisoners of Asunción who are on hunger strike. Also to send strength to Silvia, Costa, Billy and Marco Camenish, who are on hunger strike until the 28th of this month, to the comrades imprisoned in Greece, to our green-and-black brothers in Mexico who are in prison, likewise to the clandestinxs and to those who continue to go on the attack.

At the same time, we declare that this action is in solidarity with our comrades who are underground, Diego Ríos and Gabriela Curilem. Those who do not desire to surrender themselves to the (in)justice of the State and, knowing the physical and emotional costs, take flight; to hush up their escape would be an act of cowardice, disloyalty, and a step back in positioning with respect to the social war.

With respect to the subject of HidroAysen, we announce our complete rejection of it, but also of all the reformist organizations that pretend to defend the earth but are not more than regulators in its destruction.

Our action is also framed within the anniversary of the unfortunate death of our brother Mauricio Morales, resulting from the unfortunate explosion of his explosive device. At two years since your death, you are not forgotten, those who carry the fire in the mind and the heart, the sword in the hand, do not idealize your death as heroic, or martyr, you were only a brother, and therefore one like us, who undertook the offensive.

Death to platformism!
For the “bombs case” frame-up to fall under its own weight!
Freedom to all of the political prisoners of the world!
Fire to the prison society!
Combatant Mauri, martyr never, present in every insurgent action!
For the complete destruction of civilization and total Animal and Earth liberation!

anonymous at war against the prison society.

Through this unique communique we claim a series of actions carried out by different groups coordinated in an informal manner between midnight on Wednesday May 11 and 1 am on Thursday the 12th.

-Placement of an incendiary device inside the Bank of Chile in the Vitacura neighborhood. (Michelle Anjiolillo Iconoclast Circle and Antagonistic cells of the New Urban Guerilla) Link from chilean press

-Noise bombs placed against the Centro Cultural Las Condes. (Anonymous)

-Blockade with flaming barricades at Walter Martínez and Carrascal, in the Quinta Norma neighborhood. (Anonymous)

With these actions we want to convey, in the face of deeper and more extensive repression, the struggle against the state, capital, and all authority will not stop and within this struggle the informal coordination between different groups as a method for action is very important.

We also want to send our revolutionary solidarity with the intention of destroying all forms of domination, prison, and incarceration- to every rebellious prisoner in the world. Inside of the chilean state we greet the comrades held under the “Caso Bombas” and the mapuche prisoners who will soon complete the 60th day of their hunger strike.

Finally, with an active memory we dedicate these acts to compañero Mauricio Morales, a few days away from the 2nd year since his death during combat on May 22, 2009.

HERE THERE IS NO HIERARCHICAL ORGANIZATION, ONLY THE WILL TO FIGHT AGAINST EVERYTHING THAT IMPEDES OUR FREEDOM

-INFORMALLY COORDINATED IN ACTION

from the $hilean press, 5/11/11… translated by war on society:

The presence of an incendiary bomb the morning of Wednesday the 11th mobilized the police and forced the evacuation of a branch of Banco de Chile located on the corner of Candelaria Goyenechea and General John O’Brien, in the affluent district of Vitacura.

The alert was made just after 9 am when a client who came to the branch realized that there was a suspicious device on an ATM.

Staff of GOPE, LABOCA, OS-9 and Dipolcar went to the location, blocked it off, and conducted a two-hour operation to determine the nature of the device.

The device was left by unknown persons after midnight, it was composed of benzene, a vial, two butane gas cylinders of 190 grams each and an activation system with a battery that did not work, which prevented the place being destroyed.

The prosecutor Christián Toledo said composition is similar to another device that detonated and was not stopped in 2010 at a branch of BancoEstado de Independencia.

At the site were found pamphlets alluding to the death of anarchist Mauricio Morales in 2009, and to the “bombs case.” According to the press the leaflets were signed “Michelle Anjiolillo Iconoclast Circle” while other media say they were signed by “Antagonistic Cell New Urban Guerrilla.”

from culmine, translated by war on society:

Almost two years after the death of compañero Mauricio Morales, we wanted to mark the occasion in some way and for this reason we decided to attack the embassy of Chile in Montevido with our fire, in the early hours of this Sunday May 8th 2011…

For the freedom of all the Mapuche prisoners,
Against the “bombs case” frame-up,
not one more prisoner,
freedom and fire…

Some Ideas on Solidarity During Days of Hunger

I have always understood solidarity as a mutual relationship, reciprocal and sincere, that erupts from the honest convictions of our rebellious will. This is how I have lived and developed in the street and is how I believe solidarity unfolds in a fertile form- we find ourselves where we find ourselves.

It is inside the necessity to act in solidarity that crucial moments exist, maybe the most extreme, when we prisoners use our bodies as trenches, in the development of judicial “codes,” sentences or offenses on the part of the jailers. But the challenge lies in understanding how to overcome and surpass the exclusive logic imposed by the rhythm of the judicial process in order to support each other. The imprisonment of any comrade is strong and constant motivation to not remain static or indifferent… this challenge continues to present itself and we call upon all of us to overcome it. The global reality of repression speaks to us in its unmistakable language: charges, bars, sentences, media condemnations, and judicial processes. In Mexico we find Abraham, Braulio, and Adrian Magdaleno, this last one was recently taken in retaliation; the comrades who remain behind bars in Swiss prisons; the different revolutionaries in Greece; members of the Conspiracy Cells of Fire and those who find themselves accused under the same case, now faced with a trial against them, the sentence against of G. Dimitrakis, power’s morbid retaliation against Simos Seisidis and the rest of the prisoners who confront their incarceration with dignity; in France power does not let up in its reversal of roles to prolong the charges against Jean Marc Roullian and Georges Cipriani; the Italian state and its last repressive campaign against the anarchic eternity… and all of the prisoners from every part of the world who are not forgotten.

Neither in this part of the world can we let the reality of the remaining revolutionary prisoners scattered throughout the prisons of the Chilean democracy pass unnoticed: Patricio Gallardo, Alejandro Rodriguez, Alberto Olivarez, Sergio Vazquez, Claudio Melgarejo, Juan Aliste, Esteban Huiniguir, Marcelo Villaroel, Freddy Fuentevilla, Rodolfo Retamales, Francisco Solar, Felipe Guerra, Omar Hermosilla, Carlos Riveros, Camilo Perez, Andrea Urzua y Monica Caballero.

Behind bars the gestures of support arrive, possibly the only real nourishment in these days of prolonged fasting, from every corner of the world, the fliers, murals, demos, activities, banners, painted slogans, and fire speak a language understood without difficulty, which transcends all the security cameras just a heartbeat away.

But those of us held hostage by the state, write, talk, try to communicate, reflect, and with gestures of struggle and dignity we express ourselves, each from their particular standpoint.

A strong greeting to those who do not abandon us to forgetfulness, who do not leave us to be devoured by the prison and judicial machine, who view our imprisonment with the sincere optic of solidarity…because these are not only trials brought against concrete subjects but also against he same seed that questions authority and does not accept this world of exploitation constructed on its behalf.

At the end of the hunger strike April 2011

Felipe Guerra anti-authoritarian political prisoner

The last two comrades who remained imprisoned in the MAS have obtained a change to their preventative measures and are now out on house arrest.

Until total freedom is reached for all comrades!
We must remember that although the conditions have changed today, our comrades are still remain imprisoned in their houses.
Therefore it is necessary to continue expressing solidarity, diffusing, and denouncing the “Caso Bombas” as the POLITICAL FRAME UP it is.

For the end of the Anti-terrorist law!
Freedom without conditions for all immediately!
