Open letter of Christos Tsakalos Member of the r.o. C.C.F.

. | 12.05.2011 11:14 | Repression | Social Struggles



Open letter of Christos Tsakalos Member of the r.o. C.C.F. from the prisons of Koridallos, regarding his attitude and the persecutory procedures:

On the 27th of April, Christos Tsakalos, for the case of C.C.F. with the upgraded charge of the managerial executive, was transported to the prisons of Koridallos, after a call for appearance at the juridical council, where he denies to appear.

Today therefore, Wednesday the 27th of April, I announce officially to the juridical authorities, to not “bother me again” with their repeated calls for my presence in the interrogative process, because they will receive my total refusal and my factual contempt.

There is not even a millimeter of dialogue to be shared with my judges.

As I have declared repeatedly in front of them, I do not recognize their process and I deny to legalize it morally and politically with my presence. I have a clean conscience and I do not apologize to officers of the state.

The only ones who will judge my actions are myself, the rebellious people that choose to be involved in the “crime” of freedom and history itself.

I deny to appear in front of them, chained up with the escort of masked up macho cowards of the EKAM (special forces) and the Anti-terrorist force, in order to participate in the joke that they have set up.

Therefore, I will not be present at these set up appointments.

On the contrary, the juridical mafia should be prepared for its appointment with its historical destination. Because these are the times, that apart from the money and the promotions to superior ranks they receive, the reward for the juridical operators could be a rain of bullets or a powerful bomb in their car. And this is not a threat, simply a reminder of facts and possibilities.

Despite all this, on the occasion of my public refusal to discuss with the juridical officers, I want to say a couple of words about the juridical gangrene that seeks to infect the anti-authoritarian circles as an epidemic.

If someone follows the course of the interrogations they reach the obvious conclusion, Juridical power functions for the state, as did the Inquisition for the Christian church in the middle ages.

There is no doubt henceforth that the trials that are to come are not simply trials against a revolutionary organization, such as the Conspiracy Cells of Fire, but are the juridical prosecution of an entire piece of the conflicting tendency of the anti-authoritarian movement.

These prosecutions are dictated by the uniformed will of the State, manufacturing often outrageous fabrications against anarchist fighters and having as an aim to criminalize the most active element of the subversive circles.

It is a process of deterrence of the most fighting and dangerous elements, so to prevent their constant mobility and their possible composition-connection with the unforeseen situations that will be caused in view of the social-economic crisis.

In order to achieve its plans, the State tries to prove that there exists an armed network of anarchists that, either is connected with the r.o. Conspiracy Cells of Fire, or constitutes autonomous “anonymous” terrorist organizations, without however having committed any actions,

(case of the Thessaloniki Comrades D.Dimtsiadis, M.Tsilianidis, F.Fessa, S.Tzifkas, arrested ).13/01/11

Of course the juridical authorities, reaching the zenith of offering services to the state, do not hesitate to imprison anarchist Dimitris Hadjivasiliadis for simple gun possession (he was arrested in an accidental police check with 2 pistols with him) “guessing” his intention to use them “in the performance of terrorist actions”.

The obvious truth is that his detention was decided because of his anarchist ideals that were already filed, from a previous arrest, in the drawers of the police authorities.

However, the juridical slaughter does not stop there. The public prosecutor syndrome of this era that inspires the juridical operators, scans the whole social spectrum of contacts of the ordered “suspected terrorists”. Friends and personal relations of the accused are arrested, photographed and finally imprisoned themselves (D.Michail, S.Antoniou, case of the 6 arrested in December).

Naturally, similar luck is held for the acquaintances and friends of members of organizations and anarchists that take political responsibility.

The last ones see more and more often close or known people to them (irrelevant to the charges that are attributed to them) getting arrested, decorating covers of newspapers and in other cases being imprisoned such as anarchist Panagiotis Masouras and other individuals for the first case of the C.C.F. Anti-authoritarian K.P. For the recent arrests again of the C.C.F. Anarchist Christoforos Kortesis, Sarantos Nikitopoulos and Vaggelis Stathopoulos for the case of Revolutionary Struggle, and K.S. for the case of anarchist Rami Syrianos.

As if that was not enough, juridical totalitarianism carries out another leap even more shameless than police arbitrariness.

In certain cases, even if friendly relations do not exist they are devised (in the case of anarchist Ch.Politis) while in others the coincidence of a surname (case of anarchist F.Mayer) will lead the modern detectives Cluseau to tragicomic situations of confusion involving them in amazing scripts of genealogical interconnection with the revolutionary organization RAF.

At the same time, when the lie that competes the arbitrariness is not enough, comes the “window front” of science to confirm the states alibi (case of anarchist A.Sirinidis who is imprisoned for shooting at a Riot Cop van, with sole evidence being DNA that was found in a mask that was collected in the wider area of Exarchia).

Finally, they never abandoned the “old familiar art” of manufactured and enlarged charges, as in the case of comrades The Anastasiadis Brothers ( Nadir case, Thessaloniki) and the imaginative robbery scenarios (case of Psahna, Evia, with the original arrest of individuals that are accused for robbery, without neither guns, or money).

Of course, the attack of the persecutory coup d’etat is preceded by the vanguard of the journalistic tv-court. If the Media did not exist to prepare the ground, the juridical system would not have accomplished to apply so shamelessly its barbarity, without meeting at least as a mound, the “democratic protests” of the “progressive institutions”.

The case of the 6 arrested in December is characteristic. The employees of the fake have a field trip in front of the cameras and through the television studios that the suspects (for them guilty) are members of the r.o. Sect of Revolutionaries.

As well, the first day they did not hesitate to recognize one of them as the wanted and with a bounty on his head comrade G.Tsironis (case of the “robbers in black”, where they accused also Marios Seisidis and his brother Simos, who was shot in the back by the pigs of the police and afterwards because of his injury the doctors amputated his leg. Hold Strong Comrade!)

When all these were proven sci-fi scenarios, the journalists said “No problem…” and re-served a new “truth” of interconnections with the r.o. C.C.F. A directed truth that the society of tv-viewers digested (as easily as the previous ones), said “thanks” and went to sleep quieter than the previous day and more disciplined for the next.

Henceforth, what cannot be condemned with real terms is condemned with spectacular ones on the “channel sacrifice” ritual of the Media. Today, only within the generalized climate of emergency that the journalists direct, the “Theater of Justice” can easily be set up.

Because today, more than ever, the juridical persecution does not seek “guilty” individuals, but it chases the general imagery of the “guilty” collective, targeting anti-authoritarian and subversive circles.

The confusion of the charges, the blurred legal mesh of trying intentions, the detentions based on the “certificate of social beliefs”, the vague orders form a formula that includes everything.

I therefore personally, as “consciously guilty”, having taken the responsibility for my participation in the r.o. Conspiracy Cells of Fire, did not expect anything less from our persecutors. They were worthy of their wage and their dignity.

When through the C.C.F. we unleashed a war without limits against authority and its officers, as was expected we were awarded by our enemy, a sentence without pretexts.

However, this does not mean that I will not speak. Besides, I am addressing neither the small dictators of the prosecuting authorities, nor the suited bellies of the directors, neither the intellectually crippled of the police services, nor a society that in the place of its heart has placed a bunch of keys; car keys, house keys, keys to the fence, keys to intellect, keys to compassion, and it locks, locks, locks its fears, hushing in front of the screens and smiles in front of the shop windows.

I am addressing the indisciplined and untamed spirits of our era, the small minorities that do not bow, the free thinking individuals, the rebellious people, the wolves that escaped the hunting.

We should not allow the wind to ease, because within us thousands of small fires continue to ignite our mutiny.

Our actions should speak even louder, shout more because on its own “no verse mobilizes the masses, no verse reverses regimes.”

It takes struggle, struggle, struggle.

Struggle with voices and chants on the demonstrations, struggle with a flaming molotov, struggle with stones, with paint, armed struggle, grenades and bombs, struggle with the pencil, pen and books, struggle with arsons and conspiracies, struggle and always struggle.

Finishing I remind my persecutors, that I have their justice written on the oldest of my shoes (greek proverb that basically means he does not care of it at all). I know the decisions of the courts that have not happened yet and the dozens of years that they are charging us with. I know, but I do not accept to bow the head to them. They should be sure that there will be harder battles.

As for my characterization so much by the Media, as well as the juridical officers, as a “managerial executive” of the organization, I throw it in their faces. Because they have learned to function with superiors and subordinates, they should know that the Conspiracy Cells of Fire has neither directors nor followers. Our only ideal is our conscience.

The present text should be considered also a spark for the hard and nonnegotiable fight that we will give for the achievement of political co-shelter and the creation of political collectives inside the prison.

We realize that the democratic totalitarianism unleashes some of its attacks covered up as an iron fist inside a velvet glove.

Already we the members of C.C.F, but also other comrades experience the improved regime of modern “political isolation”, since we are scattered to every corner of Greece, Corfu, Komotini Grevena, Malandrino, Domokos, Theva, Trikalas, Koridallos.

Most of us have been placed in protection wings, (there are locked up the most filthy subjects of prison, the snitches and rapists) in order we lose any social contact, or to get us charged with Disciplinary for beating up some of these human wastes we have for prisonmates.

Of course, I do not forget the regime of isolation that the members of Revolutionary Struggle suffer in the 6th wing of Koridallos and my support is obvious beyond and outside the political disagreements that exist.

This fight for the fracture of each isolation and for the constitution of political collectives of accommodation is the first step for a long course to the unspecified aspects of mutiny.

Closing I will “steal” some borrowed words:

“And the judges, as soon as he entered, leaned over and said something amongst each other. And then they asked him: Are you many? And he, no one knows if it was a coincidence or perhaps in order to answer, he pointed outside the window to the crowd. And the judges shouted: whats the need of other witnesses? And then they remembered, that this speech had been said before many years ago.

And they were taken by a great fear.”

Dedicated to my brothers, the comrades of the Conspiracy Cells of Fire, G.Tsakalos, O.Oikonomidoy, P.Argirou, G.Polidoros, M.Nikolopoulos, Ch.Chadjimihelakis, M.Nikolopoulos, D.Bolano.

I send also my comrade greetings to the Italian comrades of F.A.I and to the Mexican anarchists of F.L.T. (E.L.F.),

I remain with my thought next to the comrades in Chile that are on hunger strike for the “caso bombas”.

LONG LIVE THE r.o. CONSPIRACY CELLS OF FIRE

LONG LIVE THE INFORMAL ANARCHIST FEDERATION – INTERNATIONAL REVOLUTIONARY FRONT

Beware - False Flag operation

12.05.2011 13:16

Last time this twat posted on Indymedia, under an Anarchist symbol crossed over with a semi-automatic rifle, he listed dozens of terror attacks carried out in Greece, which weren't even carried out by Anarchists (they were instead carried out by Anarchism's bitter political enemies, Marxist-Leninists - and that kind of falsehood is about as honest as pretending the Vatican distribute free condoms in Africa)

Reacting to the obvious conclusion that this jackass is trying some sort of agent-provocateur / false-flag stunt (trying to associate Anarchists with crimes they weren't responsible for) at least this time s/he's bothered to Google some stuff that really was *attributed* to Anarchists, but that still doesn't mean this group really are Anarchists, and still doesn't excuse the false information this person's been putting out on Indymedia

Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei are an allegedly "anarchist" group whose attacks include trying blow-up and/or firebomb CAR MECHANICS (evidently for the crime of daring to repair smart cars - wow it must take some courage for these heroes to pick on such evil capitalists).

According to Wikipedia "SPF proclamations, sent to athens.indymedia.org following each operation... convey their authors alienation as well as hostility to society... SPF rejects class struggle and other collective categories... (and) uniquely among Greek armed groups, uses the word terrorist favorably... because these proclamations are INCONSISTENT WITH TRADITIONAL IDEOLOGICAL POSITIONS FOUND WITHIN ANARCHISM, namely communitarianism and solidarity with the working classes, some anarchists do not believe SPF should be considered an anarchist organization".

Their "praxis" is however totally consistent with Strategy of Tension / black-ops type State provocations. And "Nuclei" is a popular nomenclature with Fascist terror groups -

Beware - Conspiracy Theorists smearing activists

12.05.2011 15:19

Wikipedia just says they set off incendiary devices overnight at luxury car dealerships and repair shops. Sounds fine to me. Maybe they are covered by insurance, but it sends a message and it pushes insurance premiums up for the future. And it generally "raises the temperature" for revolt and disobedience in general.

You seriously think people are going to risk long prison sentences just as a "false flag" to incriminate others? C'mon, think through your half-baked conspiracy theories before posting, please!

Sure it's easy to nitpick and criticise the actions of others, and they may not be perfect, but at least they are getting off their arses and doing something, at considerable risk to themselves, instead of gassing on Indymedia like us.

How about spending your time here criticising the rich and the powerful who are fucking up the world for the rest of us? Or have I just been trolled?

beware conspiraloons = Captain swing etc

12.05.2011 15:35

Captain swing - if you have to look them up on wikipedia you are an idiot who does not understand anything about the issue, so stop spouting dismissive stuff about things you don't understand on a well read public website, you make yourself look like a simpleton.

Conspiracy Cells of Fire are a well known and respected long-running Anarchist-nihilist-insurrectional revolutionary organization in Greece. their attacks have not hurt anyone, laughably not ever CAR MECHANICS. .

Read what the Conspiracy say in their own words - not the lies of the media and IMC conspiraloons, police provocators and smear-spreaders. Conspiracy of Cells of Fire actions have made a lot of pride and happiness in Greece, they are not part of some gladio-secret-state operation. they are brave young people who made the decision to make actual resistance against capitalism and the state.

They don't look for approval from the managers of the movement, they made their decisions and did it. So what?

They have a different analysis than the traditional anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideologues, they touch the 'sacred' position of saying the unspeakable - that the 'conscious' working class / proletariat has either mostly disappeared as a 'class conscious' entity or sided with the capitalist class in the core industrialized countries, over the last few decades becoming a broad consumer mass which is partly responsible for the position it finds itself in, mostly through all the historical compromises it made and the victory the bosses inflicted upon it. The reason this happened, the Conspiracy say, is because many of those traditional ways of organizing are out-dated and part of why Leftism and traditional Anarchism has been so roundly defeated. And guess what - it is true, I just have to look at England to know that.

What the Conspiracy did was to open up a plan for all the young people to try after the death of Alexis in 2008 - coordinate attacks using fire against capitalist and government symbols, these attacks harmed no-one but showed up how pathetic the Greek state was. Now a dozen of them are in prison, and will mostly get life terms. They don't deserve it.

I know this and i'm not even a so-called 'Insurrectionary Anarchist', i'm just a libertarian wanker, so I say to any one reading this who just wants to open up their brain and not shut it down, they should read about the Conspiracy in their own words, not from the mouths of the braindead.



Ps. please whoever is posting these texts stop putting that shit anarchy A at the top. although you are running a good joke you're making the paranoids, well, paranoid. + it is lame as fuck.


Bye bye. Keep up the good work IMC!!


Liberal wanker speaks finally


Yeah... right

12.05.2011 17:19

"Wikipedia just says they set off incendiary devices overnight at luxury car dealerships and REPAIR SHOPS" - in other words, the original accusation is correct. In contrast to which the person who posted on Indymedia deliberately mis-attributing Marxist-Vanguardist-Leninist killings to Anarchist groups is the acknowledged authority on whether Conspiracy Cells of Fire (sic) are "respected"? My fuckin' ass....

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/05/478937.html?c=on#comments

I know they're respected by you - the person that respects them - but are they respected by anyone else? As for "criticising the rich and the powerful who are fucking up the world for the rest of us", criticising Strategy of Tension politics IS criticising the rich and the powerful who are fucking up the world for the rest of us. Try to keep up! The more you post the more your real attitudes are (thankfully) becoming clear - especially your contempt for working class people. I take it the Greek working class probably aren't the people who "respect" this group? So who does respect this group (other than other members of this group that is)?

Simple explanation

13.05.2011 10:06

Simple explanation, for people who are too thick to understand basic political concepts. Assuming (giving you the benefit of the doubt) that you're not a deliberate state troll, try to understand this Insurrectionary Anarchist/s. Capitalism is (rightly or wrongly) perceived by most workers as the mechanism that puts a roof over their head, a shirt on their back, and food on their plate, and capitalism is the mechanism that enables them to provide for their families, while terrorism is perceived as a mechanism for at best threatening and at worst killing innocent people. The former perception may be changing, but the latter basically is not, which is why your activities hurt radical movements far more than they hurt the state.

You seem contemptuous of the working class for failing to resist capitalism, but a major reason the working class fail to resist capitalism is because of terrorism, you plank

Time Sheet


If you don't fight against your chains you deserve them.

13.05.2011 12:35

Simple explanation for simpletons who lead all their lives begging for crumbs =

capitalism = terrorism

anarchism = principled revolutionary direct action

So a previous response is being criticized by the guy who created this post, for bothering to look stuff up on Indymedia, by the guy who dishonestly and falsely made-out anarchists had killed people who'd actually been killed by Marxist/ Leninist/ Vanguardist groups?

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/05/478937.html?c=on#comments

Posts like these are being placed so they can be used as a pretext to use anti-terror laws to close down Indymedia

"If you don't fight against your chains you deserve them"? What a load of patronising shit. If you're not gullible enough to walk straight into an obvious TRAP you deserve your chains? There are thousands of ways to fight the system without being a gullible twat and without risking other people's lives or prison time. Idiot

So, let's get this straight, we're warned to "beware conspiraloons" because the alleged "loons" dare to criticize self-evident misinformation posted on Indmyedia in defence of a terror group whose very name includes the word "Conspiracy"?!

You're a "loon" if you call people a "conspiracy", who in fact call themselves a "conspiracy"?
