From Athens Indymedia
In an attempt to break the silence, I am joining them and going on a hunger strike in solidarity for as long as Thanos is in the critical phase of his thirst strike.

Full original title: Athens, Greece: Taking responsibility for an incendiary act by Anarchists
On the night of December 18th, we tracked down and burned a Cosmote van (telecommunication company); in Kaisariani area. Revenge for Kostas Fragoulis and all those murdered, beaten and tortured by the uniformed bastards of democracy. Power to the 4 comrades for the case of the Piraeus traffic police, power to the hunger striker Alfredo Cospito and Thanos Hatzianggelou, who started a hunger and thirst strike on 19/12.

Full title: Ukraine: Solidarity Collectives – No Rest ’till the Last Dictator Dies
“Solidarity Collectives” (former “Operation Solidarity”) is an anti-authoritarian volunteer network formed before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine to help comrades on the front line and civilians affected by the war. “Collectives” isn’t merely a name but the essence of our initiative which was joined by various organizations and groups from Ukraine, Germany, Poland, France, US, Netherlands, Canada, and many other countries.
At the moment some letters, telegrams and postcards seem to arrive at their destination, not like in the months before her confrontation with him, when everything written to him was confiscated. In particular, telegrams are the medium that best escapes the traps of censorship.

Full title: Attack on Nuclear Infrastructure in Grand Est Region, France in Solidarity with Alfredo Cospito
It was in this spirit that on Sunday December 11, during a night-time sabotage action, we went to a pylon of the Fessenheim-Paris EHV (Extra High Voltage) line and unscrewed the bolts. The pylon is still standing, but its structure is clearly compromised. Let our revolutionary anger act in alliance with nature, and let a winter storm do the rest!

Words in solidarity with comrades Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan
Far from hesitations and contemplative postures towards life and its rapid advance, we find siblings and comrades at long distances, accomplices that make Anarchy an active giant with vast experiences in the new anarchist urban guerrilla. Of these comrades are Alfredo, Anna, Juan and Ivan, active, dangerous and unyielding in the streets and in the prisons of capital.

Full title: ITALY: ROME PAROLE COURT DISMISSES APPEAL AGAINST 41 BIS ORDER FOR ANARCHIST ALFREDO COSPITO
The comrade will remain in 41 bis. This is not the moment of despondency, it is the moment of anger. You will pay dearly for it. Today as yesterday: death to the State, to the capital, to all authority.
From Judy Greenway
I have just posted unpublished notes from two interviews with activist Kitty Lamb (1901 – 1992) about her life and the development of her anarchist beliefs. She participated in raising money for the Republic during the Spanish Civil War, war resistance in the Second World War, the campaign against capital punishment in the nineteen-fifties, and for nuclear disarmament in the sixties. She took the platform at Speakers Corner, and the stage in anarchist cabaret. Self-deprecating though she was about her own activities, these fragmentary stories illustrate her lifelong commitment to a better world, and give an insight into the shifting social and political groupings and alliances of the times.
Via Eyes and Ears
A microphone was found in an anarchist space in Foligno (Italy). The device was hidden inside a power outlet. It was equipped with a microphone, two antennas, a SIM card, a memory card and a battery.
We finally managed to independently published the Ponx Not Dead Book project. This is a commemorative, cause-driven and honoring initiatives for our late comrade Gutson Heyres aka Pong Para-atman Spongtanyo. A dedicated anarchist activist and artist who passed away last August 2020.
The content of the book is a collection of his art work, murals, photo collages, coloring book section and testimonial articles including the writings of Keith McHenry the co-founder of Food Not Bombs.
From Anarchist Studies Blog by Gloria Truly Estrelita, Jim Donaghey, Sarah Andrieu and Gabriel Facal
In the Indonesian language, the term ‘anarki’ is synonymous with the riotous behaviour of a disparate range of groups, including everything from Islamic fundamentalists to football fans. [...] The authorities use the term ‘anarko-sindikalis’ to differentiate this form of anarchism from the ‘anarki’ of other rioters, and groups identified as such suffer persecution. This contemporary scenario, and the longstanding ‘red scare’ in Indonesia, means that speaking out on the anarchist movement remains delicate.

...in solidarity with anarchists Alfredo Cospito, Anna Beniamino and Juan Sorroche
We learn from the media that at least seven electric vehicle chargers, located in various places in Lecce, have been sabotaged and rendered unusable by foam. On some of the columns were found the inscription “For Alfredo, Anna, Juan,” in reference to the imprisoned anarchists on hunger strike against the 41 bis prison regime and the hostile life sentence...
