Athens: Imprisoned and pretrial detainees anarchists are summoned concerning the 250 actions of the R.O. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire
At a time when the people are groaning under the unbearable economic poverty and misery that have been imposed by the local agents of the big bosses of the global capitalist system, and have not yet recovered from the shock caused by multiple blows, at this moment of turmoil like a sneaky wolf the State — aided by its most powerful crutches, the cops and the judges — seizes motive and opportunity to close definitely and irrevocably its accounts with a long-standing enemy: the anarchist combatants who have the courage to fight back in every possible dynamic way, and to defy the — overtly nowadays — fascist dominance of the system.
Thus, taking advantage of the general panic that pervades most people, the authorities are prepared to bury anarchist fighters under tons of cement, super-long prison sentences, prosecutions and generalized repression.
Obeying this frenzy that exceeds hysteria, the state authorities:
– handed out a total of 137 years of imprisonment to those accused for the CCF case,
– they are stalling for many months now, with provocative and unacceptable pretenses, the sessions regarding the obviously justified motion of Panagiotis Masouras and Konstantina Karakatsani for suspended execution of their sentences,
– they arrest demonstrators, pillorying them by releasing their photos and details, and they send them straight to prison, in order to stifle protests,
– they systematically reject, with Mussolinian arrogance and criminal indifference, the repeated applications for release of Stella Antoniou on very serious health grounds,
– and the past few days (using the ‘unbeatable duo’ of the obscurest persecution, the interrogators Baltas and Mokkas) they are preparing to attribute to all combatants, who were captured since November 2010 to date, tons of additional charges related with the total of 250 attacks of CCF, regardless if comrades are members of the specific organization or deny their participation in it.
So, from Monday, March 12th, 2012, all fighters who are imprisoned or pretrial detainees accused for the CCF case are called to appear in the Court of Appeals in Athens, after having been summoned.
In particular, 16 comrades (along with 2 fugitives) accused of involvement in the R.O. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, either having claimed responsibility for their participation in CCF or having denied any relation with the organization, have been summoned to appear before the interrogators’ duo Baltas and Mokkas as defendants for about 250 actions for which the CCF has claimed political responsibility with communiqués since 2008.
Given this situation of deep junta, if we do not react, with demonstrations, gatherings and all possible means, tomorrow we may find ourselves in the same exact position with those who are prosecuted today. A heinous crime is being prepared against us all; we should not allow their plans to come to pass!
Immediate release of Stella Antoniou
No prosecution with retroactive charges
based on collective responsibility and moral instigation
Freedom for all imprisoned anarchist fighters,
hostages of social war

Greece: Responsibility claim for arson on the district court of Kallithea, Athens
Posted on March 19, 2012
We are experiencing the peculiar economic and political conjuncture when capitalism oscillates unpredictably and the political system is under widespread contest. This contest, though, does not come to propose an alternative solution on a political level, but can be found in the form of general discontent. But the general discontent that pervades the broader social realm is nothing more than a most energetic aspect of inertia. Nevertheless, we view the bases of struggle in neighbourhoods in a positive light, which along with the anarchist space stand as the only counterweight to capitalism that, even though finds itself in recession, continues its onslaught, while the majority of resigned working population leaves social ground to subside.
Due to the given situation, democracy through justice comes to reinstate a multitude of provisions at the forefront, such as the prohibition of demonstrations in the so-called historic centre [of Athens], the granting of the right of ex officio use of weapons by the cops and citizens, promoting the Americanization of the sense of ownership (through the incitement ‘citizens, take up arms’). We also speculate that a further amendment and upgrading of the terror law is imminent, aiming at the establishment of a climate of even greater repression and fear. The question we want to pose to everyone is which actions do the anarchist and the wider libertarian milieu take at a time when the nationalists have already begun to form patriotic militias and train themselves in the mountains out of a fear of chaos and anarchy?
ATTACK EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS
On the occasion of the new prosecutions for the case of the R.O. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, on Wednesday dawn, March 14th, we torched the district court in the area of Kallithea with incendiary devices. The regime with an unanticipated motion is seeking to renew the pretrial incarcerations through the new round of subpoenas, but also to burden even more the already heavy indictments. We are confident that our comrades are standing intact against the legalistic tricks of the State and the broader stance of the modern Inquisitors.
At this point, we’d like to express our unreserved support with Stella Antoniou who, apart from having a burdened health condition which makes her release from prison imperative, is an ANARCHIST and should be treated as such by her comrades.
We don’t forget the imprisoned comrade Giannis Skouloudis who will stand trial by the State on March 21st, 2012, for the arson on vehicles of the public electric power corporation (DEI) and has claimed responsibility for the action; we neither forget the incarcerated comrades Dimitris Dimtsiadis, Babis Tsilianidis, [Dimitris Fessas] and Sokratis Tzifkas, who had chosen the difficult path of clandestinity, were arrested and are now prosecuted for the same case.
We send strength to the anarchist bandit Rami Syrianos.
Incendiary signal to the unrepentant comrades who have chosen the path of attack.
Honour for ever to the member of the R.O. Revolutionary Struggle Lambros Foundas, who fell dead on March 10th, 2010, by cops’ bullets.
PS. We report the deliberate concealment of our action by the mass media, a silencing which demonstrates that their role and their position are next to their state superiors and against us. Let us clarify that any informant journalist–assignee of the cops may be faced with our practical discontent, as their cars and houses are as accessible and combustible as those of other scum.

Italy: Incendiary attack against Punto Enel Green Power
from culmine, transl waronsociety;
Claim of responsibility:
With a homemade incendiary device of 5 liters of flammable liquid with a fuse ignition, we have set fire to the Punto Enel Green Power in Frascati [Rome], with the business being destroyed by flame.
This action in solidarity with the Indians, natives and populations in struggle against all the technological monsters that devastate the Earth.
ENEL, in addition to pushing for nuclear power, is co-responsible for the repressive activities and expropriations around the whole world for constructing structures of domination of “resources” like the hydroelectric project of the EGP Enel Green Power “Palo Viejo” in Quiché, in Guatemala. Expropriating the earth, massive military presence, repression and violence are normal practices of Government and authority at the service of corporations and multinationals in the whole world.

Chile: Claim of responsibility for incendiary attack against Banco de Chile in Chillán
from liberaciontotal, transl waronsociety, communique:
In the early hours of this March 20, the date set for the hearing of our brother Luciano Pitronello, we directed ourselves with hatred and rage toward a Banco de Chile branch located on Av. Collin (Chillán), coming there loaded with flammable material, two minutes were sufficient for our anarchic and wild fire to illuminate the night.
The economic losses were surely in the millions, and right now the ridiculous police must be pathetically searching for evidence, but we here very close and very far away are laughing at how easily our fire destroyed the symbol of domination, of exploitation, of misery and inequality in the world.
May this attack be a threat and a warning of the many that remain to be executed; our fire will continue to spread to any structure that gives life to this authoritarian and oppressive system, and we will not delay in seeing burn any individual who exercises disgusting authority or their lackeys, who are the cops and rats–if anyone is going to die, it will be you. And let it be clear that this attack is also in vengeance of those murdered in the San Miguel prison and in the prison in Honduras.
We dedicate this attack to Freddy, Marcelo and Juan, imprisoned for the Security Case, but especially to Luciano, who is today the object of the State’s vengeance, its cops and its obedient citizens. Only with revolutionary action will we take you back to the street, Tortuga!!

Final statement Cells of fire(nl cell): Attacks on Rabobank Conspiracy Cells of Fire, Dutch Cell – 23.02.2011 12:02
Final statement Conspiracy Cells of Fire, Dutch Cell
The attacks on the fascists of Rabobank is dedicated with all our fire to our brothers of the prisoner’s cell of the members of Conspiracy Cells of Fire and the opressed people of the world. Our comrades and the honest minority of dignified revolutionary Persons political and civil, are not just a piece of our struggle, are not only an aspect of our action, but their choices, attitudes and dignity are the struggle itself as a whole, they are the substance.
Attacks we are claiming:
• June 2010- setting the tower in fire in Utrecht(Netherlands)
• October 2010- setting the tower in fire in Utrecht(Netherlands)
• February 2011-setting the tower in fire and attacks on the website of Rabobank in Utrecht(Netherlands)
Justice is a spider web, catching small prey and swallowing them, while allowing the big reptiles to penetrate and dominate it. Whoever disagrees can visit the prisons to see all these drug addicts and poor devils that fill them up and look around in there to find any businessman or politician who is responsible for the biggest robberies and the most brutal degradation of our lives.
We do not believe in a capitalist system that kills, steal, murder, bring modern fascism, bring racism, bring wars in to our lives. We do not believe in a system that helps banks for their mistakes, while people starving from hunger. We do not believe in a political fascist system that so called leaders of the people, and at the same time stealing from the same society for their interests.
Why Rabobank,
The fascists from rabobank where investing in the arms industry(the arms that they are investing is also going to the police, military in the Netherlands, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Libya, Algeria and other country’s).
Rabobank calls this justifies action, and we also get Shell, ING, ABN-Amro, Randstad. All these mentioned fascists company’s of the system are paramount in their view that they justify the action.
The attacks on Rabobank justify what we call action! Future attacks on Shell, ING, ABN-Amro, Randstad these companies accountable!
In Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, the above mentioned companies and / or subsidiaries that have been attacked by splinter cells called the Fire. A truth that is not released by the representatives of the syteem. This shows our strong international solidarity.
We count rabobank guilty for the dead of thousands of people, including children. Like the most fascist company’s, they are saying that they behavior justifying action when they are investing. Our action against the rabobank is justifying action.
We are continuing our attacks and against the banks, executions of the so called government leaders of the Netherlands, against fascists party like PVV, VVD, CDA and the ass licking left parties.

Peru: Communique from Group of Revolutionary Cells of Informal Organization – FAI/FRI
communique:
We salute our combatants who carry out the insurrectional anarchist struggle across the length and breadth of this world, in turn to the comrades who find themselves prisoners in capital’s prisons and, even in that condition of torture and isolation do not bow before the enemy.
We are the Group of Revolutionary Cells of Informal Organization, who for some time have assumed the commitment in this struggle, going on the offensive with direct, radical and insurrectional confrontation in this war that we have declared against this society of commodity consumption, and against all that wants to perpetuate it instead of destroying it.
In the process of consolidation of ideas and actions, we have manifested our international solidarity with the imprisoned comrades of the social war in the world, and likewise keeping alive the rebellious memory of those who fell in combat. Perhaps these actions were not communicated at the time, but the vindicative acts have not ceased, our solidarity has been present in each call or independently of them.
Although remaining anonymous, we know who we are, who we are with, and who we are in solidarity with.
To the comrades of the Imprisoned Cell of the R.O. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.
To mention the name of the group and its members is to vindicate them with word and action.
By means of this text we want them to receive our greetings, solidarity and strength, that the struggle and resistance may be carried out as much within as outside, from the thousand forms that there are, with the means that result as most convenient to us.
We are not going to wait for society to change before starting to act, what differentiates us from the rest of the oppressed and exploited is that we fight, we fight with the means that seem possible to us in order to make constant blows against the enemy and to not wait for the others in order to start doing so.
To surrender oneself and form part of those who want to keep perpetuating this established order with its alienated consumption is not an option for us. One makes this offensive posture assumed against capital in order to enrich the struggle, with the end of coming to the confrontation with power, and to not be an alternative to it. That this society may die maintaining their order that kills them again and again, that we may give our lives in order to try to spread chaos and extend the fire of the social war.
We are not and do not wish to be a kind of sect of “enlightened ones,” whose mission is to evangelize to the masses or to wait for them to make use of their reason, to thus advance together as if we and they were not oppressed and exploited like them, as if we were not equally obligated to live the everyday misery. What is certain is that “waiting only teaches one to wait,” and we are those who have already tired of awaiting the “great day of the revolution” and we are not disposed to endure one second more of this disgusting situation without doing something to put an end to it. Only acting teaches one to act.
INSUBORDINATION TO THIS ESTABLISHED ORDER!
FREEDOM TO ALL THE PRISONERS OF THE SOCIAL WAR!
Receive our greetings.

Statement of solidarity by the anarchist revolutionary organization Conspiracy Cells of Fire which was read during the second trial of the Halandri case on 2/3/12 by Damiano Bolano.-Athens
translate by boubourAs/actforfreedomnow! with respect and revolutionary solidarity
Anarchist solidarity could never be bent by kilometre distances and
authoritarian borders. Our ideas, values, practices unite always in the
denominator we have placed as anarchists, the denominator of the path of
constant attack against the structures of dominance. The dominance, which
at a global level is equipping, oppressing, imprisoning, murdering,
fortifying.
Which is an obstacle to the desires of all those who feel hostile against
the existing exploitation and oppression.
We from our side have armed ourselves and organized ourselves against the
monstrosity of Democracy (which aims at either destroying or to absorb our
hate for every social relation which reproduces and is subjugated to every
authority).
The Informal Anarchist Federation and the International Revolutionary
Front are one of the ways of holding the struggle we fight all together
and everyone individually, carrying inside it an aim, the total
destruction of the civilization and the values of this rotten world.
In this struggle we stand by the comrades of the cell ‘Long live Luciano
Tortuga’ of FAI/Indonesia.
We stand by Eat and Billy, who have taken the responsibility of their
participation in this Cell and right now are being tried by a similar
court martial to yours, in Indonesia, as well we send the warmest salute
to the comrade who is wanted for the same case. We send our unlimited
solidarity to fighters Marcelo Villaroell, Juan Aliste Vega and Freddy
Fuentevilla who right now are tried by the state of Chile.
We will use some words from the call for international solidarity: “…Our
protest… is a gesture, an act of aggressive anti-cpitalist Resistance
which unites us with every Subversive, Autonomous, Anarchist Revolutionary
prisoner who from different places and different camps of death and
isolation, keeps the insurrection alive, seeking the social revolution and
the vanishing of class society”.
At the same time, ‘we wink’ to Anarchists Revolutionaries BABIS TSILIANIDIS,
DIMITRIS DIMTSIADIS, SOCRATES TZIFKAS, and GIANNIS SKOULOUDIS who through
their guerrilla action and their decent attitude in prison factually
oppose everything we hate as anarchists, as fighters. ……..
To end, we demand the immediate release of Anarchist STELLA ANTONIOU who
the pigs of authority vengefully refuse all of her release applications
when there are serious health conditions.
LONG LIVE THE INFORMAL ANARCHIST FEDERATION ND THE INTERNATIONAL
REVOLUTIONARY FRONT
After the comrade read this announcement, comrades on trial for the 2nd
Halandri case, threw flyers in the court room…
the flyers read:
Prisons are not improved; they are demolished with struggle, struggle and
destruction.
Freedom to anarchist Stella Antoniou
Solidarity to our imprisoned brothers Eat and Billy in Indonesia who have
taken the responsibility for their participation in the cell “Long Live
Luciano Tortuga” FAI
Solidarity, for anarchists is not just words. LONG LIVE THE FAI/IRF
Do not say that we are few…. LONG LIVE THE FAI/IRF
Rage and conscience until the destruction of every prison
“I said it once and today I repeat it with pride. NEVER DEFEATED, NEVER
REPENTANTS” Luciano Pitronelo ‘Tortuga’
Strength to the anarchists of action: Babis Tsilianidis, Dimitrsi
Dimtsiadis, Socrates Tzifkas, Giannis Skouloudis.
Solidarity to the comrades in Chile: Juan Aliste Vega, Marcelo Villaroel,
