Carta de Athina Tsakalos

* liberaciontotal
El abogado Ragousis entregó a lxs jueces la carta de Athina Tsakalos, madre de los hermanos Gerasimos y Christos. Ella misma estaba presente en la sala judicial pero se nego a declarar. Presentemos su carta completa al final de este resumen (el origen de las citas hemos añadido nosotrxs, lxs traductorxs) . La carta no fue leída en los juzgados, el presidente del tribunal simplemente anunció que “va a ser añadida a las actas”.
“AL TRIBUNAL
“Cada acto de rebelión expresa una nostalgia por la inocencia y un llamamiento a la esencia del ser”.(Albert Camus)
Me estoy preguntando,¿ Porqué se está citando al juicio a los padres de los anarquistas-revolucionarios de la Conspiración de Células del Fuego? ¿ Porqué me están citando a mí? ¿ Lo hacen para preguntarme si sé algo sobre esta organización? ¿Para hacerme preguntas sobre la vida personal de mis hijos, esbozar su “perfil psicológico” o hacerse opinión sobre su “ámbito familiar”? ¿O para preguntarme si estoy de acuerdo con los acciones de mis hijos y en general, de la organización? ¿Para tenerme de pie frente a esa tribuna, sobre la cual han apoyado este pequeño libro, para obligarme a jurar a aquel dios que ustedes han puesto al servicio del Poder? ¿Para hacer que los anarquistas-revolucionarios se sientan incómodos cuando sus padres escuchan unas preguntas torpes? ¿ O para que ustedes mismos se alegren pensando que nos hicieron creer que somos nosotros quien debe rendir cuentas y hacer una apología?
Declaro, una vez más, que en ningún caso voy a responder positivamente a vuestra invitación. Y ya que, como muestra todo lo que está pasando, seguirá toda una serie de semejantes juicios, os digo que no vale la pena mandarme más citaciones porque mi postura seguirá siendo la misma. En ningún caso voy a asistir a este juicio. No voy a responder a ninguna de vuestras preguntas. La acción de mis hijos y sus compañeros era y es claramente política y anarquista-revolucionaria y por esto no es necesario investigar los parámetros de su vida privada.
La organización, la pertenencia a la cual han asumido, había formulado sus posiciones con una total claridad, precisión e intrepidez. Cualquier cosa que pudiera decir yo sería poca e insignificante. Y puesto que me gustaría dejar algunas cosas claras y fuertes como lo son y porque no quiero ofrecer a nadie la satisfacción de arruinarlo todo con unas preguntas estúpidas y sobrantes, estoy eligiendo la postura de la ausencia.
Refiriéndome a este juicio no quiero dejar que una frase, la que continuamente y con ardor y tensión se está repitiendo, está por el aire como una posible muestra de osadía y rectitud. Se trata de la frase: “Nosotros juzgamos examinando el caso profundamente.” Algo que significa que, como lo dicen ustedes, están juzgando de acuerdo con nada más que las clausulas de vuestras leyes. Algo que significa que ustedes van a juzgar basándose en las pruebas y no en los indicios concluyentes o según la lógica de responsabilidad colectiva. Y si estoy mencionando esta frase no es porque de repente espero unos milagros, sino porque en algún momento y especialmente en los casos que tratan la acción revolucionaria de algunas personas, las palabras deben tener la importancia y responsabilidad. A pesar de que hasta ahora este procedimiento jurídico no presagia nada parecido. Todas las objeciones basadas en una lógica común, como la de reconocer a los presos como unos presos políticos ( así como lo define vuestra Constitución y además de exactamente misma manera está mencionado también en la acusación), fueran rechazadas así de simple, sin ninguna lógica. El concepto de asumir la responsabilidad política queda confundido con la responsabilidad penal y eso obviamente no debido a la ignorancia o fortuitamente. Por lo tanto, subrayo a esta frase y en el final del proceso se podrá ver si lo que están diciendo lo dicen en serio.
Es verdad que desde que empezó la persecución penal de los contemporáneos anarquistas revolucionarios, he descubierto y he prestado una atención particular a un cuadro. El cuadro de Brueghel llamado “ Paisaje con la caída de Ícaro”. El vuelo de Ícaro tiene que ver con el deseo del ser humano de escaparse de la tracción de la tierra. Volar. Ser soberano también en el aire, andar también sobre el aire…
Es el orgullo, la arrogancia, la desobediencia y las ganas de mostrar que el ser humano es capaz de hacer lo todo. Y ahora viene el pintor y en el primer plano pone al agricultor. Dedicado al cultivo de la tierra, no le importa nada más. Y en el segundo plano el pastor, un poco más curioso, pero también él está mirando en una dirección equivocada. Luego el barco imponente que sigue con su viaje y ahí en la esquina un pequeño y pobre pie del Ícaro ahogado. Quitar la gloria del proyecto de Ícaro en tal manera… nunca lo vi antes. Y eso tal vez no es por casualidad, no sé que era la filosofía de este pintor, quizás significa que la gente contemporánea de un experimento atrevido es tan fijada en sus costumbres, teme tanto el cambio y no se atreve de reconocer o probar a algo nuevo.
Mirando el cuadro no acepto que se quite a esta gloria. Ahora, cuando en nuestro país son juzgadas personas que todavía tienen la osadía de creer que si hay algo que vale la pena en esta vida son los proyectos de Ícaros, cuanto dolor estos reservan, cuanto encierro y condenas les impongan. Quiero tener la esperanza y creer que alguna vez la gente contemporánea de aquellas rebeldías, ponga en primer plano y reconozca la urgencia del vuelo.

Athina Tsakalos

Postdata. Y si mando esta nota es porque la insistencia de los juzgados en mi presencia ahí es muy particular y sobretodo porque no me permito a mi misma el silencio. El silencio corresponde sólo a los muertos y en nuestros tiempos queda aplicado durante estos juicios, por parte de los completamente sometidos a los ordenes del Poder.
Y si de verdad quieren entender a cuáles personas están juzgando, leen su discurso y miren su postura. Christos Tsakalos, Gerasimos Tsakalos y Panagiotis Argyrou se encuentran el el día 12 de huelga de hambre y declaran : “Los tigres de la cólera son más sabios que los caballos de la instrucción” (William Blake) y “Cuando uno no muere para el otro, estamos muertos ya” (Tasos Livaditis)…
El 17 de abril iniciaron la huelga de hambre en apoyo a sus compañeros Giorgos Polydoros, Damianos Bolano y Haris Hadzimihelakis, mientras que los demás miembros de la célula encarcelada de la Conspiración de Células del Fuego les seguirán en unas fechas determinadas.

Text by the members of the r.o. ccf Christos tsakalos & giorgos nikolopoulos.

In relation to the summons they received for the inflammatory parcel that was sent to Berlusconi.

We are summoned to appear before the Prosecutor’s Office of Bolgna, Italy, on June 28^th in order to participate in a preliminary investigation in regard to the “punishable offense under Articles 110, 280 of the Criminal Code (attempt with terrorist and subversive purposes) of the inflammatory parcel’s postage addressed to Silvio Berlusconi. Moreover, according to the official notification of the Prosecutor’s Office that was delivered to us via fax in the prison s in which we are deteined, Berlusconi himself is called to attend the process as “victim of the punishable offense”.

Furthermore, the Digos (General Investigations and Special Operations Division) is authorized to disclose the present statute. Obviously, we face a translational upgrade of repression since this manipulative approach offers the probability of extradition of imprisoned urban guerrillas to another state. Besides, the cover-up provided by the Greek authorities to the Italian services is not incidental as this specific document of the Prosecutor’s Office of Bologna was concealed and hidden from public display; a move that validates once more the police and judicial authorities” cooperation between Greece and Italy, in their fight against tha anarchist internal enemy. We have witnessed this in the past, thorough the representatives” meetings of the Greek, Italian and  Spanish police which aimed at the establishment of the anarchist triangle theorem (Greece, Italy, Spain); it was also confirmed through the method of the Italian prosecutor Marini – dozens of Italian insurrectionary anarchists” arrest on the pretext of the non-existent “Revolutionary Organisation of Anarchist Insurrectionists” (ORAI) – and its Greek version copied by the appellate investigating magistrates Baltas and Mokkas, and now through the summons that we received by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bologna.

We do not forget the recent case of arrest of an immigrant by the Greek authorities after reports in Italian newspapers which presented him as a “chief  terrorist” whilst today his relatives denounce that his tracks are missing.

We are convicted that the move of the Italian police and judicial authorities with the assistance of their Greek compeers against us is the pinnacle of the international counter-revolutionary war., conduct, in line with the widespread suppression against the subversives circles.

Faced with the possibility of extradiction to the Italian authorities we will never ever for a moment fall kneeling in repentance, begging for a favourable treatment before the rival.

We participate consciously in the urban guerrilla warfare and we walk either outside or inside prison walls, having decided to fight until the end. For this reason neither now, non never will we transform the juridical prosecution against us into cheap mockery about proof of innocence or guilt. What is important is to highlight the counter-revolutionary campaign which the Power has unleashed against the anarchist urban guerrilla warfare and the subversive projects that struggle for the violent overthrow of the financial dictatorship and the culture of submission and ecploitation.

We do not have anything to say to our prosecutors neither in Greece, nor in Italy but three words: REVOLUTION, REVOLUTION, REVOLUTION

After all, we are aware of the Italian fascist public prosecutions and police services. In our minds and hearts the comrades murdered by the Italian State, Edoardo Massari, Sole (Maria Soledad Rosas), Carlo Giuliani, Horst Fantazzini, are forever alive and free: while our solidarity as a fist that breaks prison bars stands next to Silvia, Billy and Costa who are imprisoned in Switzerland – with the Italian State’s taking part in the investigations – and Anna Maria Pistolesi, Marino Trevisan, Stefania Carolei, Nicusor Roman and Maddalena Calore in the Fuoriluogo case.

Finally, we send our friendship and strength to our brothers and sisters in the Italian FAI and to all groups of the Onternational Revolutionary Front – Informal International Federation, as well as to the Revolutionary Groups for the Spreading of Terror of New CCF; to all those whom revolution is a permanent home, where no other life is possible. Because comrades, when a battle ends it is time to begin the next one.

PS: We stress that we refuse to present before the Italian Prosecutor’s Office; as anarchist urban guerrillas, we do not recognize any authority competent to judge us. We disclose in all directions that abettors of any transfer attempt to Italy via our unexpected  “abduction” from the prisons in which we are detained, will be the Greek anti-terrorism agency, juridical officials and the Greek State which cooperates with the Italian authorities.

Grecia : Manifesto di solidarietà per i membri imprigionati dell’Organizzazione Rivoluzionaria “Cospirazione delle Cellule di Fuoco”

[...Senza farsi fermare da qualsivoglia “contenitore sociale” la Cospirazione delle Cellule di Fuoco, spezza e destabilizza l’esistente del quietismo reazionario.

Prorompe in questo modo una nuova forma di guerriglia antisociale e nichilista che non accetta di farsi immagazzinare in un stereotipo di finto sentimento rivoluzionario, dai saccenti professori universitari dell’anarchismo ufficiale, e dai cultori del militantismo fine a se stesso. Una guerriglia che determina in ambito rivoluzionario la propria propulsione distruttrice e che “affonda” ogni concetto di sociale...]

Greece- C.C.F HUNGERSTRIKE UPDATE

As part of the direct communication concerning the hunger strike begun on 8/4 by the three C.C.F anarchist urban guerillas, Gerasimos Tsakalos, Panagiotis Argirou and Christos Tsakalos for the cessation of punitive transfers and the transfer of the first two from Domokos prison to Koridallos, we inform that Gerasimos has lost six kilos, Panagiotis five kilos and Christos seven kilos. Every day they have medical examinations, sugar levels and blood pressure are checked.

From tomorrow the comrades will be commencing their second week of hunger strike.

STRENGTH AND SOLIDARITY to the anarchist urban guerillas of C.C.F Gerasimos Tsakalos, Panagiotis Argyrou and Christos Tsakalos.

en es - Athens: CCF imprisoned member Christos Tsakalos goes on hunger strike from April 8th

‘When one does not die for the other, then we are already dead’
[Tasos Livaditis]

I am not a humanist and therefore will not talk like a humanist. I place myself on the side of the anarchists of praxis. In the battle for a free life without leaders and minions, often a price to pay is the prison. This price has been imposed on me a year ago, since I am imprisoned–CAPTIVE by the State. Captive but not defeated; because for me, as an anarchist urban guerrilla, prison is a temporary stop but never the terminal. During this whole year, I did not allow prison to tame or to ‘correct’ me, or to subdue my body and my memory through the dead repetition of the time-jailer.

From the very first moment, however, a ceaseless psychological warfare and a special detention regime were launched against all comrades who participate in the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.

Personally, I was led to Grevena prisons, initially ‘placed’ in a protection ward (where I refused to stay and so I was removed), while I have been moved more than 20 times with emergency transfers — with special bulletproof trucks, ΕΚΑΜ (special suppressive antiterrorist units), antiterrorism task forces, special units for prison transfers — during which I was held in the disciplinary ward of Diavata prisons and in Thessaloniki prison transfers department, each time with a twenty member police unit for ‘personal’ custody.

The truth is that I did not expect anything less from the adversary. Once we declared war against the State and its society, we knew the cost of our actions, and we remain unrepentant in our choices. This does not mean, though, that we will remain with folded hands. We owe ourselves one more fight… until the next one.

Thus, I refuse to put life in parentheses. Here, inside the prison, in the land of shadows I remain at loggerheads with the existent, its uniforms and subordinates. In this battle, without risking your life you are not even able to live your life with passion. In nowadays massive society of the State there is neither risk, nor passion. There is only fear and routine. Most people are frightened and alone; but never alive.

When one does not die for the other, then we are already dead. So, today, Sunday, April 8th, I begin hunger strike in factual solidarity with comrades Panagiotis Argirou and Gerasimos Tsakalos, who are carrying out a hunger strike demanding their transfer in Koridallos prisons and the permanent cessation of vengeful transfers from one prison to another. Remaining consistent in our words and choices as Conspiracy, this move is also a first gesture towards the creation of a political collective for symbiosis in prisons.

So, now that the [Easter] holidays are coming, now that everyone does their shopping, or cheats their poverty, in decorated streets and shop windows, we ‘offer’ hunger strike at your festive table. As anyone can understand, the hunger strike is an ultimate means of struggle. It is a battle to the death in slow motion. It is the will to live against resignation and submission. But it is something else as well. It is the mirror of society’s guilt. It is the mirror that reveals society’s silences. It is the mirror of indifference, the mirror of empty values, the mirror of resignation, the mirror of fear, the mirror of the lonely crowd… Behind the mirror there is LIFE. It is enough to break the mirror.

PS. During this same period, a hunger strike is conducted for the release of the anarchist Stella Antoniou and the termination of prosecution proceedings regarding the 250 incendiary and explosive attacks for which the CCF has claimed political responsibility, against individuals who have no association with the Conspiracy.

My support to the above requests is more than obvious.

Atenas: El miembro preso de la CCF, Christos Tsakalos, en huelga de hambre

“Cuando uno no muere por el otro, entonces ya estamos muertos”
[Tasos Livaditis]

No soy un humanista y, por lo tanto, no hablaré como un humanista. Me posiciono en el lado de lxs anarquistas de praxis. En la batalla por una vida libre sin líderes ni esbirros, con frecuencia un precio a pagar es la cárcel. Este precio me ha sido impuesto hace un año, desde que estoy encarcelado-CAUTIVO por el Estado. Cautivo, pero no derrotado; porque para mí, como un guerrillero urbano anarquista, la cárcel es una parada temporal pero nunca la definitiva. Durante este largo año, no permití a la prisión domarme ni “corregirme”, ni someter a mi cuerpo y mi memoria a través de la repetición muerta del tiempo-carcelero.

Desde el primer momento, de todas formas, una guerra psicológica incesante y un estado de detención especial fueron lanzados contra todxs lxs compas que participan en la Conspiración de Células del Fuego.

Personalmente, fui enviado a las cárceles de Grevena, inicialmente “colocado” en un pabellón protegido (en el cual me negué a quedarme y fui entonces retirado de allí), mientras que fui trasladado más de 20 veces con transportes de emergencia — con lecheras blindadas especiales, EKAM (unidades antiterroristas especiales), unidades especiales de traslado penitenciario, fuerzas de los servicios antiterroristas — durante las cuales yo fui mantenido en el área disciplinaria de las cárceles de Diavata y en el departamento de traslados de la cárcel de Tesalónica, en cada caso con una unidad de veinte miembros de la policía para “custodia personal”.

La verdad es que yo no esperaba nada menos del adversario. Una vez que nos declaramos en guerra contra el Estado y su sociedad, sabíamos el coste de nuestras acciones, y nos mantuvimos sin arrepentirnos de nuestras decisiones. Aunque esto no significa que nos vayamos a quedar con los brazos cruzados. Nos debemos a nosotrxs mismxs una batalla más… hasta la siguiente.

Por lo tanto, me niego a poner la vida entre paréntesis. Aquí, dentro de la prisión, en la tierra de sombras, mantengo el enfrentamiento con lo existente, sus uniformes y sus subordinados. En esta batalla, sin arriesgar tu vida no serás todavía capaz de vivirla con pasión. En la sociedad de masas del Estado de hoy en día, no hay ningún riesgo ni pasión. Sólo miedo y rutina. La mayoría de la gente está asustada y sola; pero jamás viva.

Cuando uno no muere por el otro, entonces todxs estamos ya muertos. Así que, hoy, domingo, 8 de Abril, empiezo una huelga de hambre en solidaridad activa con los compas Panagiotis Argirou y Gerasimos Tsakalos, quienes están ya llevando a cabo una huelga de hambre para exigir su traslado a la cárcel de Koridallos y el cese definitivo de traslados vengativos de una prisión a otra. Permaneciendo consistentes en nuestras palabras y elecciones como Conspiración, este gesto es también un primer gesto hacia la creación de un colectivo político de simbiosis en las prisiones.

Así que, ahora que las vacaciones [de semana santa] se acercan, ahora que todxs hacen sus compras, o engañan a la pobreza con calles decoradas y escaparates de tiendas, nosotrxs “ofrecemos” la huelga de hambre en vuestra mesa de fiesta. Como cualquier puede comprender, la huelga de hambre es uno de los últimos medios de lucha. Es una batalla a muerte en cámara lenta. Es la voluntad de vivir contra la resignación y la sumisión. Pero es algo más. Es el espejo de la culpabilidad de la sociedad. Es el espejo que revela sus silencios. Es el espejo de la indiferencia, el espejo de valores vacíos, el espejo de la resignación, el espejo del miedo, el espejo de la muchedumbre solitaria… tras el espejo está la VIDA. Basta con romperlo.

PD: Durante este mismo periodo, otra huelga de hambre se lleva a cabo para la liberación de la anarquista Stella Antoniou y el fin de los procesos judiciales sobre los 250 ataques incendiarios y explosivos para que el CCF ha reclamado responsabilidad política, contra las personas que no tienen ninguna asociación con la conspiración.

Mi apoyo a las peticiones de arriba es más que obvio.

Athens: Declaration by CCF member Christos Tsakalos during the 6th trial session in the second ‘Halandri case’ (1-2/2012)

According to your court indictment, Conspiracy of Cells of Fire is a terrorist organization. But words were never, nor are or will ever be neutral. Words acquire the meaning given by the person who uses them. We do not speak the language of the judges and prosecutors. We speak the language of the hunted who have refused the victim’s role, the wanted who have not handed themselves in to the authorities, the prisoners who have not caged their will for freedom, the anarchists who have never kneeled in front of Power. Solidarity, Dignity, Urban Guerrilla Warfare, Anarchy, these are our words, that we unleash as an insult against your system.

Yes, that’s right, we are anarchist urban guerrillas and proud to participate in the rebellion of our desires, under the name Conspiracy of Cells of Fire.

For you, who stand behind your judicial benches, we are terrorists because your soul is a scared shade which only feels safe behind cops and in the books of your dead laws.

We are terrorists against your interests and your Power. Life, physical integrity, safety and property of the judicial clique, the political authority, the oligarchy of the wealthy and the bosses are being targeted by both us and our unarrested comrades.

However, a different terrorism is hovering above the lives of most people. Terrorism is the endless queues in a tax office, in public organizations, in banks. Terrorism is the bosses’ orders to their staff. Terrorism is the heavy hand of the police landing on minor delinquents and poor devils. The worst terrorism, though, is the TERRIFYING ascertainment that no person raises its head. Terrorism is the silence and passivity. Terrorism is the fact that no person undertakes its own life.

We have also seen your terrorism; the terrorism of justice. We have seen tens of prison inmates returning from your courts, having an empty gaze and their lives burdened with several decades in prison. We have seen friends and relatives collapsing from your ‘just’ decisions.

We have seen your expressionless faces and your well-fed bellies fitting into your expensive and armored cars. We have heard and know your hefty salaries and your secret, under-the-table agreements that are of service to your valued buddies, the big publishers, the industrialists and your political supervisors. How many centuries in prison have you truly dished out throughout your career in order to serve a system which itself generates, through exploitation and oppression, those who you consider criminals?

Hence, outside of the books of your laws, if someone wants to seek the meaning of terrorism in real life, where the scared today dreads the threatening tomorrow that’s yet to come, you yourselves and the Power are the terrorists.

As for our terrorism, it is the human will for freedom and anarchy. Apparently, you dread this will, so you vote new terror laws, you establish exceptional courts-martial, you take special security measures, you do not allow us to talk to our relatives and companions during trial recesses, and even when you take us to the detention rooms, ten metres from your court room which is built inside the prison, you handcuff us. This means that you are really scared. This is an honour and pleasure for us, because it shows that a group of people, a circle of anarchist of praxis can terrify an entire State. This shows that, away from the silence and passivity of the mass, the will of only a few people is sufficient for your system to be crushed.

You should know that there are several insubordinate individualities living self-exiled from your society, who prepare and arm themselves, while they collectivize their own desires to overthrow the history of servants and their masters. That’s when you will really sense the concept of anarchist tromocracy; an anarchist tromocracy which is expressed with fire on banks, ministries, police stations; exploded with bombs outside luxurious villas of wealthy people, courthouses, multinational companies and industries of nature and animal exploitation; written with bullets fired on the dictators of our life and freedom; spoken inside court rooms by the mouths of prisoners of war, such as we who are not scared of your convictions and your prisons. This is the anarchist tromocracy. Thus, revise your indictment and add in your documents that CCF is an anarchist terrorist organization.

And all of us, who participate in this organization, are proud to be its members, and our rage is an axe over your heads that’s spinning… spinning… spinning…

(read also Summary of Days 5 & 6 of 2nd Halandri Case Trial)


Day 5: Tuesday, January 24

At the start of the session, Ifigenia Karandrea, the lawyer assigned to represent Damiano Bolano, asked to speak. She said the three days (two of which, Saturday and Sunday, weren’t even workdays) that had gone by since the last session were not enough time to either study the voluminous case briefs or properly communicate with her client. She mentioned that in order to see Bolano she was forced to interrupt a family visit, and that if the judges didn’t give the defense more time she doubted whether she would continue to attend the trial, since “what should prevail is the rendering of a fair trial.”

Diamantis Kariotis, the other court-appointed attorney assigned to to Bolano, then also asked for the trial to be postponed for a few more days. The request by Bolano’s lawyers was echoed by Fragiskos Ragousis, the attorney for the three other comrades on trial.

The presiding judge, clearly perturbed, asked the lawyers in a rude, unpleasant tone if they would be amenable to postponing the trial until the following Monday. They responded affirmatively, and the prosecutor agreed as well. After a short recess, it was announced that the trial would continue on Wednesday, February 1.

Day 6: Wednesday, February 1

Defense attorney Ragousis, who represents Christos Tsakalos and the brothers Giorgos and Michalis Nikolopoulos, submitted three objections and two demands to the court. Specifically, he presented objections regarding the lack of competence and “inappropriate composition” of the court’s panel of judges, as well as demands for the audio recording of the proceedings and for an end to the police-imposed security measures that require the confiscation and photocopying of ID cards belonging to family members and people showing solidarity who attend the trial. The objections and demands were also supported by the rest of the defense attorneys—H. Sipsas (the other lawyer for Tsakalos and the Nikolopoulos brothers) as well as Karandrea and Kariotis (the court-appointed attorneys assigned to represent Bolano). This presentation by the defense took almost three hours.

Michalis Nikolopoulos then spoke. Addressing the judges, he said: “Neither you nor any other institutional organ of power deserve to judge us. Simply put, you don’t deserve to politically judge either the choices made by the Fire Cells Conspiracy revolutionary organization or those of any other free, rebellious person. You can’t judge us, no matter how many trials you’re going to hold, no matter how much propaganda you’re going to spread via the mass media.” He continued by saying that the three attacks in question for which the Fire Cells Conspiracy claimed responsibility “have yet again pushed the political system up against the wall.”

Three acts of anarchic terrorism whose objective was to bring terror to the homes of politicians and the doorsteps of their ministries. Three attacks that were declarations of anarchist revolution and once again affirmed the positions of our organization. It’s clear that we are in favor of, support, and identify with the attacks carried out by our organization, like these three. The truth is that the only evidence you have against us is our own statement in which we revealed our membership in the organization. Nothing else. Let’s make one thing clear: we didn’t release that statement because we were being crushed by a mountain of evidence, as that was never the case. Nor did we release it out of a belief or a desire to engage in the logic of confessing something about our revolutionary activities to the state, or the belief that the Fire Cells Conspiracy revolutionary organization had come to an end then and there. We released it because, as dignified revolutionaries, we have a responsibility to defend our struggle and our proposals from inside the walls as well. It’s a matter of historical necessity that has nothing to do with “winners” and “losers,” but rather the “dignified” and the “servile.” If we hadn’t revealed our membership in our organization, then what would you be doing? Absolutely nothing. We never get involved in all that “guilty or innocent” of bourgeois legality. We are illegals, armed enemies of the regime. We simply position ourselves with regard to those things because we like to shed light on the real tactics used by the state against its political enemies.

Nikolopoulos concluded by commenting on the police assertions that “the Halandri apartment was a Fire Cells Conspiracy safe house,” saying: “The same pieces of evidence showed that the home in question never functioned as an organizational safe house. The Fire Cells Conspiracy certainly had many safe houses. However, the bloodhounds of the Antiterrorist Unit never managed to discover them.” Regarding this point, and to back up what he was saying, he read excerpts from Haris Hatzimichelakis’ statement.

Tsakalos then spoke. This is his complete statement:

According to the charges, the Fire Cells Conspiracy is a terrorist organization. But words never were, are, or will be neutral. They acquire the meanings given by those who use them. We don’t speak the language of judges and prosecutors. We speak the language of the hunted who have rejected the role of victim, the wanted who haven’t turned themselves in to the authorities, the imprisoned who haven’t caged their will for freedom, the anarchists who have never knelt before power. Solidarity, Dignity, Urban Guerrilla War, Anarchy: those are our words, which we hurl insultingly at their system.

Yes, we are therefore anarchist urban guerrillas and we are proud to belong to the rebellion of our desires called the Fire Cells Conspiracy. To those of you seated behind the judge’s bench, we are terrorists, because your spirit is a frightened shadow that only feels safe behind the pigs, that only feels safe in the books of your dead laws.

We are terrorists in opposition to your interests and your power. The life and personal integrity of each one of you; the security and property of your judicial gang, political power, the oligarchy, the rich, and the bosses: all those things are in our crosshairs as well as the crosshairs of our comrades who haven’t been arrested.

Nevertheless, another terrorism is hanging over most people’s lives. Terrorism is the endless lines in the tax office, throughout the public sector, in the banks. Terrorism is the orders given by bosses to their employees. Terrorism is the heavy hand of the police falling on petty criminals and poor devils. However, the worst terrorism is the TERRIFYING verification that no one is raising their head. Terrorism is silence and passivity. Terrorism is the fact that no one is taking their life into their own hands. We have also seen your terrorism. The terrorism of justice. We have seen countless prisoners return from your courthouses with blank stares and lives weighed down by dozens of years in prison. We have seen friends and family collapse after hearing your “fair” sentences.

We have seen your completely expressionless faces and well-fed bellies getting into your luxurious armored cars. We have heard and know about your considerable salaries and your secret, under-the-table deals that favor your distinguished friends—big-shot editors, industrialists, and your politician superiors. Really now, how many centuries of prison have you dealt out over the course of your careers serving the very system that, through exploitation and oppression, gives birth to those whom you consider criminals?

Therefore, beyond your law books, if one wants to find out the meaning of terrorism in real life—out there where the fearful today dreads the arrival of a threatening tomorrow—then the terrorists are you and power.

As far as your own meaning of “terrorism,” it has to do with the human will for freedom and anarchy. You seem to fear that will, so you pass new antiterrorist laws, convene extraordinary courts martial, take special security measures, prevent us from talking to our families and comrades during trial recesses, and handcuff us while you bring us to holding cells 10 meters from the courtroom. This means you are actually afraid, and that is an honor and a joy for us, because it shows that a group of people—a company of action-minded anarchists—is capable of terrorizing an entire state. It shows that, far from the silence and passivity of the masses, the will of just a few people is enough to strike a blow at your system.

You should know that there are plenty of unyielding individualities out there who live in self-exile from your society. They are getting prepared, arming themselves, and collectivizing their desires in order to subvert the history of slaves and masters. Then you will really feel the concept of anarchic terrorism—an anarchic terrorism expressed through fire against banks, ministries, and police stations; an anarchic terrorism exploding out of bombs in front of the luxury villas of the rich, courthouses, and the multinational corporations and industrial conglomerates that exploit animals and nature; an anarchic terrorism written with bullets fired at the dictators of our lives and freedom; an anarchic terrorism spoken in courtrooms through the mouths of prisoners of war just like us, who don’t fear your sentences and prisons. This is anarchic terrorism. You should therefore correct your charges. You must add to your judicial reports that the Fire Cells Conspiracy is an ANARCHIST terrorist organization.

And all of us who participated in it are proud of being members, and our rage is like an ax hanging over your heads, always swinging, swinging, swinging.

Prosecutor I. Liakopoulos then insisted on postponing the trial until February 7 in order to prepare his proposal regarding the objections and demands presented by the defense. Presiding judge H. Vriniotis was very inflexible and, after a short recess, announced that the trial would continue on Friday, February 3. In addition, he decided (and this time the prosecutor was also in agreement) that the defense attorneys had to mandatorily submit all their objections and demands at the same time, after which the prosecutor would present his opinion about them. Only then would the court make its decisions on the matter. All that “in order to not waste more time.” It should be pointed out that objections are normally presented by the defense at the same time that disagreements arise regarding the proceedings. Therefore, the court is thus attempting to obstruct the defense—“preventively,” shall we say.

Meanwhile, on January 31, judicial functionaries responsible for the different cases involving the Fire Cells Conspiracy issued three orders, each consisting of many pages. The first order contains the decision regarding the comrades arrested during the December 4, 2010 antiterrorist operation. Apart from Dimitris Michail and Christos Politis, who were in fact acquitted of all felony charges (although they will have to appear in court for misdemeanor charges relating to, respectively, a bottle of pepper spray and a small quantity of marijuana found in their homes), the other four—Stella Antoniou, Giorgos Karagiannidis, Alexandros Mitrousias, and Costas Sakkas—are being charged with “membership in the Fire Cells Conspiracy,” “explosives possession,” etc. Antoniou and Sakkas are thus now officially charged (up to this point it was a matter of “membership in an unnamed terrorist organization”), while Karagiannidis and Mitrousias—who have already been sentenced—will be tried again for the same crime, i.e., “membership in the Fire Cells Conspiracy.” Additionally, the six comrades arrested after December 4, 2010 who have revealed their membership in the group (Michalis Nikolopoulos, arrested at the end of January 2011; and Bolano, Tsakalos, Olga Economidou, Giorgos Nikolopoulos, and Giorgos Polydoras, arrested in March 2011) will also be tried in the same case.

The second order contains the decision to summon all nine comrades who have revealed their membership in the Fire Cells Conspiracy (including Hatzimichelakis, despite the fact that he was already behind bars at the time), plus Karagiannidis and Mitrousias, to the trial for the mailing of incendiary packages (which action was carried out on November 1, 2010 and claimed by the Fire Cells Conspiracy). We must add that, already some time ago, several of those being charged for the packages—Karagiannidis and Mitrousias among them—submitted petitions requesting face-to-face meetings in the presence of the prosecutors with the prosecution witnesses and shipping company employees who supposedly recognized them. All those petitions were denied. Also rejected was the petition to release Antoniou based on the serious health problems she is facing.

The third order has to do with the “Volos Case,” i.e., the March 2011 arrest of five comrades. The nasty surprise is that nine people will be summoned to trial for this case. We still don’t have details about the four other people in question.

Atene: Dichiarazione del membro della CCF Christos Tsakalos durante la sesta udienza del caso Halandri (1-2/2012)

Secondo la vostra accusa, la Cospirazione delle Cellule di Fuoco è un’organizzazione terrorista. Ma le parole non sono mai state, né lo sono, né mai lo saranno, neutrali. Le parole acquistano il significato dato dalla persona che le usa. Noi non parliamo il linguaggio dei giudici o degli accusatori. Noi parliamo il linguaggio dei cacciati che hanno rifiutato il ruolo di vittime, dei ricercati che non si sono consegnati alle autorità, dei prigionieri che non hanno ingabbiato la loro volontà di libertà, degli anarchici che non si sono mai inginocchiati di fronte al Potere. Solidarietà, Dignità, Guerriglia Urbana, Anarchia, queste sono le nostre parole, che sguinzagliamo come insulto contro il vostro sistema.

Sì, esatto, noi siamo guerriglieri urbani anarchici e fieri di partecipare nella ribellione dei nostri desideri, sotto il nome Cospirazione delle Cellule di Fuoco.

Per voi, che state dietro i vostri banchi giudiziari, noi siamo terroristi perché la vostra anima è un fantasma spaventato che si sente al sicuro solo dietro gli sbirri e tra i libri delle vostre leggi morte.

Comunque, un differente terrorismo aleggia sopra le vite della maggior parte delle persone.

Terrorismo sono le file infinite in un ufficio delle imposte, nelle pubbliche organizzazioni, nelle banche.

Terrorismo sono gli ordini dei capi ai loro personali. Terrorismo è la mano pesante del poliziotto che afferra delinquenti minorenni e poveri diavoli. Il peggior terrorismo, però, è la TERRIFICANTE certezza che nessuno alza la sua testa.

Terrorismo è il silenzio e la passività. Terrorismo è il fatto che nessuno intraprenda la propria vita.

Noi abbiamo anche visto il vostro terrorismo; il terrorismo della giustizia. Noi abbiamo visto decine di reclusi nelle prigioni tornare dai vostri tribunali con lo sguardo vuoto e le loro vite sepolte sotto parecchi decenne in prigione. Noi abbiamo visto amici e parenti collassare per la vostra “giusta” decisione.

Noi abbiamo visto le vostre facce inespressive e le vostre pance ben nutrite accomodate nelle vostre costose e blindate automobili. Abbiamo sentito e sappiamo dei vostri spropositati salari e dei vostri segreti, accordi firmati sottobanco per servire i vostri cari amichetti: i grandi editori, gli industriali e i vostri capi politici. Quanti secoli di prigione avete veramente impartito durante la vostra carriera per servire un sistema che, attraverso lo sfruttamento e la repressione, produce quelli che voi considerate criminali?

Così, al di là dei libri delle vostre leggi, se qualcuno vuole cercare il significato della parola “terrorismo” nella vita reale, dove lo spaventato oggi teme il minaccioso domani che ancora deve arrivare, scoprirà che voi ed il Potere siete i terroristi.

Per quanto riguarda il nostro terrorismo, è la volontà umana di libertà ed anarchia. Voi temete questa volontà, è evidente, così votate nuove leggi anti-terrorismo, stabilite eccezionali corti marziali, prendete speciali misure di sicurezza, non ci permettete di parlare con i nostri parenti e compagni durante gli intervalli del processo, e anche quando ci portate nelle camere detentive, dieci metri dalla vostra aula di tribunale che è costruita dentro la prigione, ci ammanettate. Questo significa che voi siete davvero spaventati. Questo è un onore ed un piacere per noi, perché mostra che un gruppo di persone, una cerchia di anarchici pratici può terrorizzare un intero Stato. Questo dimostra che, lontano dal silenzio e dalla passività della massa, la volontà di anche solo poche persone è sufficiente per distruggere il vostro sistema.

Dovreste sapere che ci sono parecchie individualità insubordinate che che si sono auto-esiliate dalla vostra società, che si preparano e si armano, mentre collettivizzano il loro desiderio di sovvertire la storia dei servi e dei padroni. Sarà allora che sentirete cosa significa veramente il terrorismo anarchico.

Il terrorismo anarchico che si esprime con il fuoco contro le banche, i ministeri, i commissariati di polizia; il fuoco esploso con le bombe fuori dalle ville lussuriose di persone benestanti, tribunali, multinazionali ed industrie di sfruttamento animale e naturale; il fuoco scritto coi proiettili sparati sui dittatori delle nostre vite e della nostra libertà; pronunciato dentro le aule dei tribunali dalle bocche di prigionieri di guerra, così come noi che non siamo spaventati dalle vostre condanne e dalle vostre prigioni. Questo è il terrorismo anarchico. Per questo, correggete le vostre accuse e aggiungete ai vostri documenti che la CCF è un’organizzazione anarchica terrorista.

E tutti noi, che vi partecipiamo, siamo orgogliosi di essere suoi membri e la nostra rabbia è un’ascia sulla vostra testa che gira… gira… gira…

Atenas: Declaración de Christos Tsakalos durante la 6ª sesión del juicio contra CCF (1-2/2012)

Según las acusaciones del tribunal, Conspiración de Células del Fuego es una organización terrorista. Pero las palabras ni fueron, ni son, ni jamás serán neutras. Adquieren el significado que les da quien las utiliza. Nosotrxs no hablamos la lengua de jueces y fiscales. Hablamos la lengua de lxs perseguidxs que se han negado a aceptar el papel de víctima, de lxs huidxs que no se han entregado a las autoridades, de lxs presxs a lxs que no les capturaron la voluntad por libertad, de lxs anarquistas que no se han arrodillado nunca frente al Poder. Solidaridad, Dignidad, Guerrilla urbana, Anarquía, estas son nuestras palabras, que lanzamos como insulto contra vuestro sistema.

Pues sí, somos guerrillerxs anarquistas y estamos orgullosxs de participar en la rebeldía de nuestros deseos, con el nombre de la Conspiración de Células del Fuego.

Para vosotros, que os quedáis tras vuestros bancos judiciales, somos terroristas porque vuestra alma es una sombra asustada que solo se siente segura detrás de los policías y sumidos en los libros de vuestras leyes muertas.

Somos terroristas en contra de vuestros intereses y vuestro Poder. La vida, la integridad física, la seguridad y la propiedad de la camarilla judicial, del Poder político, de la oligarquía de los ricos y los patrones son blancos, tanto nuestros como de nuestrxs compas que siguen en libertad.

Pero un terrorismo diferente recorre la vida de la mayoría de la gente. Terrorismo es la cola infinita en las agencias tributarias, en los organismos públicos, en los bancos. Terrorismo son las órdenes que dictan los patrones a sus empleadxs. Terrorismo es la mano dura de la policía que cae sobre la microilegalidad y lxs pobres diablxs. Pero, el peor terrorismo es el hecho espeluznante de que nadie levanta la cabeza. Terrorismo es el silencio y la pasividad. Terrorismo es el hecho de que nadie toma las riendas de su vida.

Hemos visto también vuestro terrorismo. El terrorismo de la justicia. Hemos visto decenas de presxs volver de vuestros tribunales con la mirada vacía y sus vidas cargadas de varias décadas de encarcelamiento. Hemos visto amigxs y familiares desmayarse ante vuestras decisiones “justas”.

Hemos visto vuestros rostros inexpresivos y vuestras panzas bien alimentadas entrar en vuestros coches caros y blindados. Hemos oído y conocemos vuestros altos sueldos y vuestros acuerdos secretos, firmados por debajo de la mesa, para servir a vuestros queridos amiguitos: los grandes publicadores, los industriales y vuestros jefes políticos. De verdad, ¿cuántos siglos de encarcelamiento habéis repartido durante vuestra carrera para servir a un sistema que, a través de la explotación y la represión, produce aquello que vosotros consideráis criminales?

Así, más allá de los libros de vuestras leyes, si alguien quiere buscar el significado de terrorismo en la vida real, donde el asustado hoy teme al amenazador mañana que vendrá, descubrirá que vosotros y el Poder sois los terroristas.

En cuanto a nuestro terrorismo, este es la voluntad humana por la libertad y la anarquía. Parece que teméis esta voluntad y, por eso, votáis nuevas leyes de terror, establecéis Cortes Marciales de emergencia, adoptáis medidas especiales de seguridad, no nos permitís hablar con nuestrxs familiares y compas durante los intervalos del juicio, mientras que cuando nos traéis al calabozo, que queda a 10 metros de vuestra sala, nos ponéis los grilletes. Esto significa que tenéis miedo de verdad. Esto es un honor y nos da alegría porque demuestra como un grupo de personas, una compañía de anarquistas de praxis puede atemorizar a un estado entero. Esto demuestra que, lejos del silencio y la pasividad de la masa, basta solo con la voluntad de unas pocas personas para golpear vuestro sistema.

Debéis daros cuenta de que hay varias individualidades insumisas que viven autoexiladas de vuestra sociedad, se preparan, se arman y colectivizan sus deseos para derrumbar la Historia de lxs siervxs y sus amos. Será entonces cuando sentiréis de verdad lo que significa el terrorismo anarquista. El terrorismo anarquista que se expresa con el fuego contra los bancos, los ministerios, las comisarías de policía, el fuego que estalla con bombas por fuera de las viviendas de lujo de los ricos, de los palacios de justicia, de empresas multinacionales e industrias de explotación de la naturaleza y los animales, el fuego que se escribe con balas sobre los dictadores de nuestra vida y libertad, que habla dentro de las salas de los tribunales por boca de lxs prisionerxs de guerra, como nosotrxs, que no tenemos miedo de las condenas ni de vuestras cárceles. Este es el terrorismo anarquista. Por esto, corregid vuestras acusaciones y añadid a vuestros documentos que CCF es una organización terrorista anarquista.

Y todxs nosotrxs, que participamos en ella, estamos orgullosxs de ser sus miembros y nuestra rabia es un hacha sobre vuestras cabezas que gira… gira… gira…
