We present a brief overview of news from the website
antimilitarismus.noblogs.org. It is good that some anarchists rejected theillusion of choosing the "lesser evil" and remained faithful to the anti-waranarchist tradition. Despite the trivialization, anarchist opposition to the warexists, both in Russia and Ukraine. ---- Probably the most significant phenomenonthat can be seen among anti-war direct actions are the activities of theAnarcho-Communist Fighting Organization (B???). It has already carried out dozensof acts of sabotage, for example the January explosion of a railwaybridge.[1]---- But there are also more curious cases. For example, a Ukrainianhacker hacked Russian Internet channels through which drugs were traded andtransferred[2]25,000 dollars to the humanitarian organization Enjoying Life.Nevertheless, analytical texts also appeared on the website dedicated toantimilitarism. In the article Territory, or life[3], the absurdity of warnationalism is illustrated by the example of Bachmut. Other texts talk aboutanti-militaristic traditions or the relationship between war and climate change.[1]https://antimilitarismus.noblogs.org/post/2023/01/06/%d0%b1%d0%be%d0%b0%d0%ba-hlasi-vybuch-zeleznicniho-mostu/BOAK reports an explosion of a railway bridge2023/01/06 antimilitarismThe partisan cell of the Anarcho-Communist Fighting Organization (????) claimedresponsibility for the recent explosion of a railway bridge leading to a facilityof the Russian Ministry of Defense. In a statement on this operation, BOAK states:The action that was carried out some time ago was unfortunately not 100%effective, but the experience will be used in future attacks. In order for thisexperience to benefit not only us, but also the entire partisan movement, it wasdecided to make it public. (...)We also consider it important to note that the operation was deliberately carriedout at night, both for security reasons and to minimize risks to strangers. Sincethe bridge crosses the road and there is less traffic at night, we waited for amoment when no one was driving. We are not releasing the position of the bridge,we expect that the likely damage will increase during its continued operation.This will make its repair even more expensive and will stop the transportation ofmilitary cargo through it for a longer period of time.We call on all railroad workers who are against the war to sabotage militarycontracts, refuse to travel to military installations, so as not to be a cog inthe war machine that keeps it running smoothly and killing people.[2]https://antimilitarismus.noblogs.org/post/2023/01/18/hacker-z-ukrajiny-se-zmocnil-25-000-dolaru-z-russkeho-trhu-s-drogami/A hacker from Ukraine seized $25,000 from the Russian drug market2023/01/18 antimilitarismEven the corporate media couldn't pass this story! Ukrainian cyber-intelligenceexpert Alex Holden, a resident of Mequon, Wisconsin, with his Holden Securityteam hacked into Solaris, one of Russia's largest online drug markets.Cryptocurrencies that belonged to dealers and website owners were diverted toEnjoying Life, an organization that provides humanitarian aid to displaced andimpoverished people across Ukraine.Holden left Kiev as a teenager in the 1980s amid the aftermath of the Chernobylnuclear disaster. He declined to say how he did it, but said he managed to takecontrol of most of the Internet infrastructure powering Solaris, a number ofadministrator accounts running the illegal bazaar, the site's source code and itsuser database, as well as drug delivery points. For a short time, his team alsohad control over the "main wallet" of the Solaris system. This wallet was used bybuyers and dealers to deposit and withdraw funds and functioned as acryptocurrency exchange on the web.Holden showed Forbes several screenshots of access to Solaris admin accounts andthe main wallet. A Ukrainian cybersecurity expert has confirmed that thescreenshots do indeed show access to Solaris accounts.Enjoying Life co-founder Tina Michajlovská confirmed that the nonprofit hadreceived the donation and said all contributions went directly to the elderly,families and displaced persons suffering as a result of the war.The attacks could have an impact not only on the drug trade on the dark web inRussia. They can disrupt the activities of one of Solaris' collaborators: thepro-Kremlin hacking group known as Killnet. Holden wants to run Killnet into theground any way he can, and infiltrating Solaris offers him one of the ways, asthe exchange has numerous ties to the Russian hacking group.The management of Killnet itself commented on the support from Solaris. In aninterview with Russia's RT in October, the founder of the Killnet network, knownas KillMilk, said his gang had "enormous support" from the "brave and strongteam" at Solaris.[3]https://antimilitarismus.noblogs.org/post/2023/02/05/uzemi-nebo-zivot/Territory or life?!2023/02/05 antimilitarismWar propaganda on both sides of the war line plays the same song like a flute.It's like an Orwell novel. "War is peace", echoes around and many really believethat this murderous drama is about saving lives. But the mass graves and bodiesin the ruins speak of something completely different.Let's look at a sample of this dire reality. The battle for Bakhmut has beenfought by Ukrainian troops for several months. Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelenskyi admitted that the city was completely destroyed. Nevertheless, at thepress conference after the summit with representatives of the European Union inKyiv, he declares "No one will give up Bachmut. We will fight as long as we can.We consider Bakhmut to be our fortress." According to him, Ukrainians should notfocus on trifles, but strive for victory in battle. What does this victory meanand what is its "price"?Soldiers of both armies and many civilians die daily in the battles for Bakhmut.The longer this goes on, the closer the city is to being uninhabitable. So thenext time some smart guy tells us that this war is about saving people and theirinfrastructure, we can send such a cynic somewhere far away, where he will nothave the opportunity to destroy people's lives.With the example of Bachmut, it is obvious that human lives are not at issuehere, because they are sacrificed here on the altar of a nationalist cult. Moreand more people die at the front to defend the city turned into ruins, becausethe nationalists could not give up the territory claimed by "their" state. It isbetter to die on the front than to have some "foreigner" control the territory.What about the fact that "their" state has been oppressing them for many yearsand is using the war to make it even harder?"The losses here are huge, in the lower hundreds. The Russians have great losses,but the Ukrainians also lose tens to hundreds of soldiers every day," saysTaylor, a Czech paramedic who worked in Bachmut.Reporter Lenka Klicperová directly from Bachmut reports that "The battle forBachnut is now more of a psychological battle. The point here is to win at anycost. Neither the Ukrainians nor the Russians want to give up Bakhmut."Rather mass graves, more wounded, more destruction than to give up the destroyedterritory. Yes, that is exactly the logic of war. A logic that cannot bringanything good to the working class in Ukraine or Russia, even if the Democratstry in vain to convince us otherwise. As recently reported by the Union of PolishSyndicalists (ZSP)For us, war is terrible not because governments and borders change, but becausepeople die. The Ukrainian authorities cough it up. Another mass grave does notbother them more than a lost military asset or a strategic position."When people accept the fact that war does not mean peace, that participation inwar does not serve to save lives, only then can war be stopped.Saša Kaluzha, a Ukrainian anarchist, put it clearly:All the words about the army defending the people, society and their country arejust part of the state propaganda, which is proven by history. The war can onlybe stopped by opposing both states."https://oafed.noblogs.org/post/2023/02/13/antimilitaristicke-novinky/#more-1115_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
