Punk’s not dead! The AI underground.

Punk is dead. The underground has gone under. Again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUU5B1uE1Ps
As has so often been the case, people today don’t even want to utter the word “punk” anymore. It seems to stand for commercialism, mass festivals, and political ideologues of every stripe. Government officials stand in front of #anarchist graffiti and tell us that we simply have to obey the state. “Punk” bands are proud to have tens of thousands of Instagram followers. A concert featuring “underground” bands can easily cost €28. What today’s punks absolutely must avoid is thinking for themselves, building their own structures, and swimming against the current.
But the fact is that in times of enormous upheaval—the rise of global AI structures and widespread #digitalization —the crazy ones, the #misfits, and the rebels are more needed than ever before. Punk is the order of the day. We’re currently witnessing dystopian developments that scare everyone. Power and knowledge are concentrated in the hands of a few U.S. tech-bro companies. Surveillance, manipulation, and war. The only ones who have an alternative vision are the #Chinese. It cannot be the goal to choose between #China and the U.S.
We must empower ourselves, and the long tradition of #DIY underground culture can really help us with that. Help us be ourselves again, help us take matters back into our own hands. I’ve always been at home in both fields. I run a DIY music label and create music and art myself as freely as possible. But I’ve been just as committed for nearly as long to free software and digital structures that belong to us. (https://undeadnetwork.de/bookstack/books/radical-enlightenment-a-world-of-open-sources-translation)If we reflect on our strengths and don’t just reject everything out of sheer fear, then we can seize world domination. Just as we’ve always done. Do It Yourself—PUNKS NOT DEAD!

Trump Goes After Anonymous Email Provider in Italy. The Real Target Is Free Speech in the U.S.
Trump designated an Italian web-hosting provider as a foreign “terror” group. It could take #antifascist sites in the U.S. offline.
Matt Sledge
August 28 2026"In the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s war on the left, the U.S. government’s designation of a popular antifascist webhosting provider as a terror group could shutter a swath of radical websites in the U.S.
"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio and Treasury Secretary #ScottBessent announced Wednesday that they were targeting the Italy-based A/I Collective with terror sanctions. Federal law gives the Treasury Department broad discretion to apply the terror label to foreign groups.
"A wide array of #anarchist, antifascist, and #FarLeft groups in the U.S. and abroad use the privacy-minded collective’s offerings, including an anonymous email service and its popular noblogs.org blogging platform.
"The practice of designating an internet platform and service provider as a terror group — rather than those pursuing violence themselves — has 'huge' implications for the future free speech on the internet, warned Jillian York, the director of international freedom of expression at the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation.
" 'They are going after the messenger,' York said. 'I don’t think that the members of the group would necessarily condone the actions of the people that they hosted. What they do condone is the freedom to host, the ability to be anonymous, the ability to be private.'
"The A/I Collective told The Intercept that it is exploring its legal options to fight the sanctions, which block U.S. citizens and companies from providing the group with financial support.
"In an unsigned statement, the group said that it denies the U.S. government’s allegations.
" '#Antifascism and #anticapitalism are not #terrorism ,' the group said. '#Protesting is not terrorism. And everyone has the right to speak out and to struggle for #humanity.' " [And #MotherEarth ! ]

A Letter to Carlo Giuliani
On the 25-Year Anniversary of the Battle of Genoa
https://crimethinc.com/CarloGiuliani
On July 20, 2001, at the peak of the movement against capitalist globalization, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Genoa, Italy to oppose the summit of the world's eight most powerful governments—the G8. During the massive demonstrations that ensued, a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator named Carlo Giuliani.
A fellow participant in the battle of Genoa addresses Carlo from across the years.

:anarchism: Anarchic è arrivato in Sudamerica!

If you are an anarchist, socialist, or even a moderate Democrat and you still have an account on X/Twitter—or have money invested in any of Elon Musk's companies—you are providing legitimacy and resources to a Sieg-Heiling white supremacist who is openly signaling that he intends to kill you.
The language about killing "race traitors" specifically by hanging them comes directly from explicitly neo-Nazi sources including The Turner Diaries and Ben Klassen, who first popularized the term "Racial Holy War."
If this is what Elon Musk says in public, we can imagine what he is saying—and doing—and planning—in secret.
We are already at war. Act accordingly.

In an unsustainable, oppressive society, it is quixotic to imagine that we could manage our survival in a sustainable, egalitarian way.
Mutual aid must not be a symptomatic treatment to address the systemic ills of capitalism, but a step towards revolutionary change.

On Tuesday, June 16, in Rome and other cities, new police raids hit the anarchist movement, with seven arrest warrants against as many comrades, 5 preventive detentions in prison and 2 house arrests with electronic bracelets, searches throughout Italy (including La Vampa in #Naples), and the eviction of the Bencivenga Occupato social center in #Rome. The main charge is the now classic “association for terrorist purposes” (270-bis). In addition, two comrades were arrested for the new crime of “terrorism by words” for possession of some pamphlets found during the searches.

Workplace Organising for Migrants: A Discussion about our Rights
Teachers Club (Club na Múinteoirí), Saturday, June 13 at 02:00 PM GMT+1
Migrant workers are often in some of the most precarious positions in the labour market. While economies depend upon their labour, they are routinely subjected to poverty wages, labour rights abuses and health and safety violations.
The rights of migrant workers in Ireland will be front and centre of a discussion taking place on Saturday June 13th at 2pm at the Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Square, Dublin 1 D01T6V6.
At this event, key organisers from the Pan-African Workers Association (PAWA) and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), along with activists from the African Centre Ireland, will discuss the organising challenges, strategies and successes they have experienced in the last few years, and how we can collectively organise to improve our lives as migrants.

Your BlueSky Feed Is Porn You Didn’t Ask For Because Your Friends Are Gooners With a Severe Porn Addiction
A common complaint I see people make on Bluesky is: why am I being served so much porn or things I am not interested in? They will incorrectly believe that the algorithm is broken. It’s not broken. You didn’t know the people you knew as well as you thought you did. Porn addiction is a thing, and porn addiction is especially common with weebs. You’re seeing deranged shit because people you follow have porn addictions and are into deranged shit. So, though you may not be consuming porn, people in your network are. That activity kicks into your feeds.
The issue I have with that is that it essentially normalizes being sex pests in a space on the Internet. That sets the expectation that it is good—attractive, even—to act like that elsewhere. That expectation alienates relationships. Bluesky creates a cultural space that offers an unrealistic, bizarre representation of social relationships, which isolates and alienates the users who stay on there consuming erotica and porn like they do.
So, user repos in Bluesky have a property for likes. Bluesky’s underlying AT Protocol stores likes as first-class structured records in each user’s AT Protocol repository. In the AT Protocol lexicon, a like is an app.bsky.feed.like record type. Unlike a simple boolean flag on a post, it is its own record with a creation timestamp and a subject field that holds a strong reference to the liked record.
That strong reference is composed of an AT-URI and a CID. The AT-URI identifies the exact record in the network by DID, collection, and record key. The CID is a cryptographic content identifier that uniquely identifies the exact content of that liked record.
These like records exist under the app.bsky.feed.like namespace in the user’s repo. Bluesky’s repo model is built so that these repos are hosted on a user’s Personal Data Server and are publicly readable through the AT Protocol APIs. Because of that, the like record and its fields can be fetched, indexed, and used by any client or service that can query the protocol.
The protocol exposes operations like getLikes. This returns all of the like records tied to a particular subject’s AT-URI and CID. It also exposes getActorLikes. This returns all of the subject references a given actor has liked. Those API calls return structured like objects with timestamps and subject references directly from the public repository data.
Various feeds hosted by different PDSs use the likes property to construct the feeds that you see. Since the likes of people you follow are included in your social graph, along with your own likes, you’re going to get served the porn they are consuming. Because likes are public and anyone can write an algorithm to see everyone’s likes, you can clearly see just how much porn people are consuming.
Honestly, what started to turn my stomach about the people on Bluesky is how they behave across different contexts. If you look through the records of the posts they interact with, you’ll see them engaging with political posts in the replies like a normal person. Then, when you look through their AT Protocol records, you see hours and hours of them interacting with every kind of porn imaginable. I am not exaggerating. Hours of likes for porn posts within 1–10 minutes of each other. Am I sex-negative? A prude? No, this site is filled with furry, gay bara porn, lol. You can have a drink without being an alcoholic. The problem with these people is like people who can’t have one drink without drinking the whole fucking day; they can’t consume porn in healthy ways.
I think people assume that their feed is customized for them and based on their likes. No—feeds are generalized based on what everyone likes and then served to your subgraph. It’s not just about who you follow; it’s about who they follow. So if you follow someone who follows a lot of people with porn addictions, you will see porn. Bluesky isn’t weighting the algorithm to do this. Basically, it’s the people in your social network with furry, hentai, or trans porn addictions who are driving it.

BlueSky’s Solution To Moderating Is Moderating Without Moderating via Social Proximity
I have noticed a lot of people are confused about why some posts don’t show up on threads, though they are not labeled by the moderation layer. Bluesky has begun using what it calls social neighborhoods (or network proximity) as a ranking signal for replies in threads. Replies from people who are closer to you in the social graph, accounts you follow, interact with, or share mutual connections with, are prioritized and shown more prominently. Replies from accounts that are farther away in that network are down-ranked. They are pushed far down the thread or placed behind “hidden replies.”
Each person gets their own unique view of a thread based on their social graph. It creates the impression that replies from distant users simply don’t exist. This is true even though they’re still technically public and viewable if you expand the thread or adjust filters. Bluesky is explicitly using features of subgraphs to moderate without moderating. Their reasoning is that if you can’t see each other, you can’t harass each other. Ergo, there is nothing to moderate.
Bluesky mentions that here:
https://bsky.social/about/blog/10-31-2025-building-healthier-social-media-update
As a digression, I’m not going to lie: I really enjoyed working on software built on the AT protocol, but their fucking users are so goddamn weird. It’s sort of like enjoying building houses, but hating every single person who moves into them. But, you don’t have to deal with them because you’re just the contractor. That is how I feel about Bluesky. I hate the people. I really like the protocol and infrastructure.
I sort of am a sadist who does enjoy drama, so I do get schadenfreude from people with social media addictions and parasocial fixations who reply to random people on Bluesky, because they don’t realize their replies are disconnected from the author’s thread unless that person is within their network. They aren’t part of the conversation they think they are. They’re algorithmically isolated from everyone else. Their replies aren’t viewable from the author’s thread because of how Bluesky handles social neighborhoods.
Bluesky’s idea of social neighborhoods is about grouping users into overlapping clusters based on real interaction patterns rather than just the follow graph. Unlike Twitter, it does not treat the network as one big public square. Instead, it models networks of “social neighborhoods” made up of people you follow, people who follow you, people you frequently interact with, and people who are closely connected to those groups. They’re soft, probabilistic groupings rather than strict labels.
Everyone does not see the same replies. Bluesky is being a bit vague with “hidden.” Hidden means your reply is still anchored to the thread and can be expanded. There is another way Bluesky can handle this. Bluesky uses social neighborhoods to judge contextual relevance. Replies from people inside or near your social neighborhood are more likely to be shown inline with a thread, expanded by default, or served in feeds. Replies from outside your neighborhood are still public and still indexed, but they’re treated as lower-context contributions.
Basically, if you reply to a thread, you will see it anchored to the conversation, and everyone will see it in search results, as a hashtag, or from your profile, but it will not be accessible via the thread of the person you were replying to. It is like shadow-banning people from threads unless they are strongly networked.
Because people have not been working with the AT Protocol like I have, they assume they are shadow-banned across the entire Bluesky app view. No—everyone is automatically shadow-banned from everyone else unless they are within the same social neighborhood. In other words, you are not part of the conversation you think you are joining because you are not part of their social group.
Your replies will appear in profiles, hashtag feeds, or search results without being visually anchored to the full thread. Discovery impressions are neighborhood-agnostic: they serve content because it matches a query, tag, or activity stream. Once the reply is shown, the app then decides whether it’s worth pulling in the rest of the conversation for you. If the original author and most participants fall outside your neighborhood, Bluesky often chooses not to expand that context automatically.
Bluesky really is trying to avoid having to moderate, so this is their solution. Instead of banning or issuing takedown labels to DIDs, the system lets replies exist everywhere, but not in that particular instance of the thread.
I find this ironic because a large reason why many people are staying on Bluesky and not moving to the fediverse—thank God, because I do not want them there—is discoverability, virality, and engagement.
In case anyone is asking how I know so much about how these algorithms work: I was a consultant on a lot of these types of algorithms, so I certainly hope I’d know how they work, lol. No, you get no more details about the work I’ve done. I have no hand in the algorithm Bluesky is using, but I have proposed and implemented that type of algorithm before.
I have an interest in noetics and the noosphere. A large amount of my ontological work is an extension of my attempts to model domains that have no spatial or temporal coordinates. The question is how do you generalize a metric space that has no physically, spatial properties. I went to school to try to formalize those ideas. Turns out they’re rather useful for digital social networks, too. The ontological analog to spatial distance, when you have no space, is a graph of similarities.

Astroturfing Is Pretty Pointless When Social Subgraphs Are Fragmented (e.g., the Fediverse)
I am seeing astroturfing in the fediverse again, by AT Protocol developers implicitly trying to shill their products. I think it is stochastic behavior by developers with too much time on their hands. Honestly, I do not care. I like the people on ActivityPub more, but I like the AT Protocol better, and I have developed for both. Astroturfing on ActivityPub networks is fascinating to me because it is so pointless.
I am actually a Computational Biologist and Computer Scientist whose specialty is combinatorics, social graphs, graph theory, etc. Specifically, I use this to create epidemiological models for the memetic layer of human behaviors that act as vectors for diseases, using the SIRS model. I do not just study germs; I study human behaviors.
The models I construct extend into a “memetic layer,” in which beliefs, norms, and behaviors (such as risk-taking, compliance with public health measures, or susceptibility to misinformation) spread contagiously through social networks. These behaviors function as vectors that modulate biological transmission rates. As a result, the spread of ideas can accelerate, dampen, or reshape the spread of disease. By running computational simulations and agent-based models on these graphs, I study how network structure, influential nodes, clustering, and platform-specific dynamics affect behavioral contagion. I also examine how these factors influence epidemiological outcomes.
To say it very concisely, I study how the spread of bat-shit insane beliefs, shit posts, and memes influences whether or not there is a measles outbreak in Texas. Ironically, this is an evolution of my studying semiotics, memetics, and chaos magick in high school. I got a job where I can use occult, anarchist techniques professionally.
I think a large reason why I do not care about astroturfing in the fediverse is that it’s so pointless, lol. Astroturfing to manipulate the narrative would actually work better on Bluesky to keep people there than trying to recruit from the fediverse. Furthermore, big instances are relatively small. Some people on Bluesky have follower lists larger than an entire large instance in the fediverse.
Within ActivityPub networks, astroturfing rarely propagates far, because whether information spreads depends on properties of the social graph itself. Dense connectivity, short paths between communities, and a sufficient number of cross-cutting ties support diffusion. ActivityPub’s architecture tends to produce graphs that are fragmented and highly modular. This limits the reach of coordinated activity.
ActivityPub is a system where each instance maintains its own local user graph and exchanges activities through inboxes and outboxes. This makes it autonomous and decentralized. The network consists of loosely connected subgraphs. Cross-instance edges appear only through explicit follow relationships. The ActivityPub protocol does not provide a shared or complete view of the network. Measurements of the fediverse consistently show uneven connectivity between instances, clustering at the instance level, and relatively long effective path lengths across the network. Under these conditions, large cascades are uncommon.
Instance-level clustering means that in ActivityPub networks, users interact much more with others on the same server than with users on different servers. Because each instance has its own local timeline, culture, and moderation, connections form densely within instances and only sparsely across them through explicit follow relationships. This creates a network made up of tightly connected local communities linked by relatively few cross-instance ties, which slows the spread of information beyond its point of origin.
However, with the AT Protocol, global indexing and aggregation are explicitly supported. Relays and indexers can assemble near-complete views of the social graph. Applications built on top of this infrastructure operate over a graph that is denser and easier to traverse. There are fewer structural barriers between communities. The diffusion dynamics change substantially when content can move across the graph without relying on narrow federated paths.
Astroturfing depends on coordinated amplification, typically through tightly synchronized clusters of accounts intended to manufacture visibility. Work on coordinated inauthentic behavior shows that these tactics gain traction when they intersect highly connected regions of the graph or bridge otherwise separate communities. In networks with strong modularity, coordination remains local. ActivityPub’s federation model produces this kind of modularity by default. Coordinated clusters stand out clearly within instances. Their effects remain confined to those local neighborhoods.
Astroturfing on ActivityPub therefore tends to stall on its own because of the underlying graph topology. Without dense inter-instance connectivity or any form of global indexing, coordinated campaigns have a hard time moving beyond the immediate regions where they originate. Systems built on globally indexable social graphs, including those enabled by the AT Protocol, expose a much larger surface for viral spread. Network structure and connectivity account for the divergence where that is independent of moderation, cultural norms, ideology, or intent.
It’s just really funny to me how these stochastic techbro groups waste so many resources. I personally don’t want to go viral, which is why I avoid platforms where I can. The fact that it’s harder to achieve high virality on ActivityPub is exactly why I prefer the fediverse over the Atmosphere. One way to think about it is that you can change the ‘genetics’ of a system with a retrovirus, where memetic entities act as cultural retroviruses to reprogram the cultural loci of a space. That is their end goal. They are trying to hijack cultures memetically. You see this a lot with culture jamming.
Basically, the astroturfing on ActivityPub networks is designed to jam and subvert the culture. But, as I have already said, the topological structure makes memetic virality stall. They cannot achieve that kind of viral spread in the fediverse, which is why I cannot understand why they do this every year.

Another proud member of #Kolektiva is #FreedomNewsUK!
"An independent, radical co-op controlled by its volunteers, Freedom runs Britain’s oldest #anarchist press and its largest bookshop. Freedom is the oldest continuous collective of its kind in the world and more on our history can be found in the book #ABeautifulIdea.
The Press is made up of three arms, which comprises:
Freedom News and Journal
Freedom Publishing
Freedom BookshopMedia
What is currently the #FreedomJournal was first published by #Kropotkin and others in 1886 and remained in print for most of the next 125 years (minus a gap in 1932-1945), before being stopped as a regular production in March 2014 — though papers have been produced every year since.
The daily production of anarchist news and views has now moved to this website, and the Press brings out a 20-page free Journal twice yearly. We also maintain an email digest, (see web page), flag articles on social media pages for the bookshop and run a group for people who want to stay in touch."

If hard work made you rich, every farmer would be a billionaire. But they are not because the system does not reward labor, it rewards leverage. Modern Capitalism is about exploitation, not effort.

Russland: Anarchistische Kriegssaboteure vor Gericht
Alexy #Rozhkov zu 16 Jahren Haft verurteilt, Ruslan #Sidiki droht lebenslange Haft wegen „politischem #Terrorismus“
Vor dem #Militärgericht in #Jekaterinburg wurde Alexy Rozhkov gestern (20. Mai) wegen #Brandstiftung an einer #Rekrutierungsstelle zu 16 Jahren Haft verurteilt. Ebenfalls gestern stand Ruslan Sidiki vor dem Militärgericht in #Rjasan unter Anklage wegen der Zerstörung von Eisenbahnschienen, die zum Entgleisen von neunzehn Waggons mit #Düngemitteln geführt hatte. Sidiki wurde im November 2023 festgenommen und wird außerdem der versuchten Zerstörung von #Militärflugzeugen beschuldigt, wobei er in beiden Fällen ferngesteuerte GPS-gesteuerte #Drohnen eingesetzt haben soll.
Beide #Anarchisten geben die ihnen vorgeworfenen Taten zu, weisen jedoch die politische Anschuldigung des #Terrorismus zurück.
Rozhkov wurde zunächst wegen „Sachbeschädigung“ angeklagt, nachdem die Behörden erfolglos versucht hatten, ihn wegen „versuchten Mordes“ an einem Wachmann im Rekrutierungsbüro anzuklagen. Nachdem er aus Russland nach #Kirgisistan geflohen war, wurde er von den #Sicherheitsdiensten entführt und nach #Russland zurückgeschleppt.
„Ich habe einfach verstanden, dass man nicht gleichgültig bleiben kann“, sagte Rozhkov in einem Interview mit DOXA kurz vor seiner #Verhaftung und illegalen #Abschiebung. „Was jetzt passiert, ist unrechtmäßig, es ist illegal. Jeder Krieg bedeutet den Tod für normale Bürger.“ Er war der dritte Mensch in Russland, der nach dem vollständigen Einmarsch Russlands in die #Ukraine im März 2022 ein Rekrutierungsbüro in Brand gesetzt hat.
Sidiki seinerseits sagt, er habe keine anderen Mittel des Widerstands gesehen als direkte Aktionen. Die Zerstörung der #Eisenbahninfrastruktur, um den Transport von #Sprengstoff an die Grenze zur Ukraine zu stoppen, sei geplant gewesen, um sicherzustellen, dass bei der Beschädigung der militärischen Infrastruktur keine Menschen zu Schaden kommen.
„Ich bekenne mich teilweise schuldig“, sagte Sidiki vor #Gericht. "Ich erkenne die Tatsache der Ausbildung zu terroristischen Aktivitäten nicht an, ich hatte die Fähigkeiten bereits zuvor. Ich sehe keine terroristischen Absichten, da das Ziel #Sabotage war und nicht die #Einschüchterung der Bevölkerung. Ich gebe zu, die (dritte) Explosion vorbereitet zu haben. Die in meinem Haus gefundenen Komponenten sind Chemikalien, da ich mich für #Agrarchemie und #Pflanzenbau interessiere."
#Sabotageakte gegen die Eisenbahn in Russland sind häufiger geworden, wobei 2024 eine Rekordzahl von Brandstiftungen gegen die Eisenbahninfrastruktur verzeichnet wurde. Viele der Festgenommenen und Verurteilten sind junge Erwachsene oder Teenager. Der 16-jährige Pavel #Khazov wurde zu neun Jahren Haft verurteilt, der 17-jährige Space #Nevolainen zu sechs Jahren, weil sie wegen der #Brandstiftung an einem leeren Zugwaggon auf eine Liste von „Terroristen“ gesetzt worden waren.
#Mediazona berichtete über Fälle von dreizehn Minderjährigen, die wegen Brandstiftung an Relaiskästen für die Eisenbahn oder an militärischer Ausrüstung angeklagt wurden. Einige gaben an, dafür von einer unbekannten Person bezahlt worden zu sein. Pavel berichtete, dass er von einem Mann namens „Gustav“ dafür bezahlt wurde, den Zug anzuzünden, doch diese klare Zusammengehörigkeit der Minderjährigen qualifiziert sie in den Augen des Gesetzes dennoch als #Terroristen.
Dies sind eindeutige Anzeichen für politische #Schauprozesse, bei denen Sachbeschädigungen zu Terrorakten umgedeutet werden, um Unterstützung für den Krieg in der Ukraine zu mobilisieren und einen inneren Feind zu schaffen, gegen den die Russen kämpfen können, einen Feind, der von einem anderen, ausländischen Feind bezahlt wird. Im Fall von Ruslan Sidiki wird er nicht nur der Taten beschuldigt, die er begangen hat. Er wird beschuldigt, vom ukrainischen #Geheimdienst bezahlt worden zu sein; seine revolutionären Taten seien nur ein Tausch gegen die britische #Staatsbürgerschaft und Bargeld gewesen.
Berichte über Folter (CW)
Er hat „die Vorbereitung der (dritten) Explosion“ nur unter Folter durch die russischen Behörden zugegeben. Trotz einer Beschwerde wurde diese Gewalt bis heute nicht untersucht, während der Prozess gegen Sidiki weitergeht. Drei Wochen nach dem Angriff auf einen Militärflugplatz wurde er verhaftet und auf die Polizeiwache gebracht.Sidiki wurde an Sicherheitskräfte in Zivil übergeben, die von ihm ein Geständnis forderten, andernfalls würde er gefoltert, aus der Stadt gebracht und hingerichtet werden. Sie würden es so aussehen lassen, als habe er versucht zu fliehen, sagten sie ihm. „Als ich auf dem Boden lag, traten sie mir auf die Hände und Füße, sodass ich sie nicht bewegen konnte, obwohl ich mich nicht wehrte“, erinnerte sich Sidiki in Mediazona. „Dann sagte einer von ihnen zu jemandem: ‚Ruf an!‘“
In diesem Moment durchfuhr mich ein elektrischer Stromschlag, der meine Muskeln zusammenzog und unerträgliche Schmerzen verursachte. Ich schrie laut und schlug meinen Kopf auf den Boden, während einer von ihnen vor mir stand und mich mit seinem Handy filmte."
Sidiki wurde mit sexueller Gewalt und der Amputation von Gliedmaßen bedroht und während der Elektroschocks mit verwirrenden Fragen konfrontiert. „Meiner Meinung nach“, erinnert sich Sidiki, „war der Stromstoß aus ihrem #Foltergerät vergleichbar mit einer Rosette der Kategorie 220 Volt. Da ich als Elektriker arbeite, habe ich in meinem Leben schon öfter solche Spannungen erlebt und kann die Wirkung vergleichen.“
„Wie lange die #Folter genau gedauert hat, kann ich nicht sagen, da ich nach ein paar Schocks benommen war, aber ich kann sagen, dass es unerträglich schmerzhaft war.“
Ein Korrespondent von #Mediazona verfolgt Sidikis Fall, ebenso wie Solidarity Zone, da beide versuchen, trotz strenger Einschränkungen durch Richter Oleg #Shishov, der #Journalisten die Aufzeichnung der Verhandlung untersagt hat, aus dem Gerichtssaal zu berichten.
„Ich wurde in ein Auto gesetzt, in dem nur Leute mit Masken waren“, erinnert sich Sidiki. „Ich glaube, das war kein Zufall, und der Ermittler und der Anwalt fuhren in einem anderen Auto. Ich wurde zu Verstecken und Sabotageorten gebracht, wo ich, nachdem ich den #IVS verlassen hatte, sofort von maskierten Leuten im Kopf-, Brust- und Bauchbereich geschlagen wurde.“
„Außerdem hatten diese Leute einen #Elektroschocker in Form eines Schlagstocks, und die meiste Zeit wurde ich mit Stromschlägen traktiert, bis die Batterie leer war. Von diesem Elektroschocker sind Spuren in Form von Verbrennungen auf meinem Körper zurückgeblieben, auch meine Kleidung ist verbrannt.“
„Ich habe immer noch Angst um mein Leben und meine Gesundheit wegen dieser Leute, die mich nach meiner Festnahme gefoltert und geschlagen haben“, sagte Sidiki.
Die Anklage gegen Sidiki versucht, von seiner politischen Einstellung als Anarchist als Hauptmerkmal des ihm vorgeworfenen Terrorismus abzulenken. Anwohner und Freunde aus seiner Kindheit wurden vor Gericht gezerrt, um jemanden zu finden, der von Sidikis Handlungen negativ betroffen war. Der Zugführer reichte eine Beschwerde ein und forderte eine Entschädigung in Millionenhöhe.
Der #Anarchist räumte „trocken“ ein, dass dem Zugführer „moralischer Schaden“ zugefügt worden sei. Schließlich fuhr er nur einen Zug voller #Sprengstoff in ein Land, das von seinem eigenen Land angegriffen wurde.
Doch trotz der Vorwürfe, Sidiki sei vom ukrainischen Geheimdienst bezahlt worden, über die nur in den diskreditierten staatlichen Medien #TASS berichtet wurde, schienen seine Ziele persönlich und eher in der Politik begründet zu sein, die die Russische Föderation gerne ignorieren würde: Sabotage und direkte Aktionen gegen Autoritarismus.
„Das Dröhnen der Tu-22 und Tu-95 vor dem Fenster fiel mit den Angriffen auf die Ukraine zusammen, und das bestimmte meine Wahl des Ziels: den #Militärflugplatz #Dyagilevo, nur zehn Kilometer von meinem Zuhause entfernt. Ich lebte mit meiner 80-jährigen Großmutter zusammen und wusste, wie schwer es für alte und kranke Menschen im Winter ohne Heizung und Licht ist“, schreibt Sidiki laut Solidarity Zone.
„Während ich die Badewanne mit heißem Wasser füllte, dachte ich an diejenigen, denen tausend Kilometer entfernt aufgrund geopolitischer Ambitionen die grundlegendsten Lebensbedingungen vorenthalten wurden. Und gleichzeitig reden sie immer noch von “brüderlichen Völkern„ und davon, dass “Russland keine Zivilisten bekämpft".
„Anarchist zu sein bedeutet für mich, wenn möglich, zu helfen oder mich an Projekten in meiner Nähe zu beteiligen“, sagt er gegenüber Mediazona. „An Aktionen teilnehmen, deren Kern der Schutz der Rechte und Freiheiten der arbeitenden Bevölkerung ist. Wenn es die Umstände erlauben, deine Ideen den richtigen Leuten näherbringen. Neue Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten erwerben, die es dir ermöglichen, das oben Genannte effektiver zu tun.“
„Als ich im Gefängnis war“, sagte Rozhkov in einem Interview vor seiner Verhaftung, "kam ein Anwalt vom Anarchistischen Schwarzen Kreuz zu mir. Mir wurde Hilfe angeboten. Wir stellten auch einige Fragen: Möchte ich Briefe, Hilfe, Überweisungen erhalten und den Fall öffentlich machen? Ich lehnte Unterstützung und Öffentlichkeit ab, aber ich beschloss, dass es schön wäre, Briefe von Menschen zu erhalten, die nicht gleichgültig sind, die Menschen wie uns in Gefangenschaft helfen. Die Briefe haben mir wirklich sehr geholfen ..."
“Wenn du das Leben von Gefangenen irgendwie aufhellen willst„, sagt Sidiki, “schreib Briefe, schick Postkarten, das bringt dich trotz aller Schwierigkeiten zum Lächeln".
