The terror will not win... the road will!
“... The rules themselves are funny. In addition of not standing legally, they will automatically fall idle because simply they go against common sense. What worries me and should concern all progressive citizens is the deeply conservative and anachronistic move that is attempted with such measures by the government. It is obvious that the audience here are the voters of LAOS ... "
Michael Chrisochoïdis (now Minister of Public Order), March 22, 2009
The socialist deep state, took of it's hood! After establishing an occupation army at the center of Athens, it's answer at the murder of Mohamed Kamran Atif , was hiding with every way the murderers and the direct attack of those that went on the road to protest against the murders done by the state , [photos: 1 | 2 ] (about the arrested 1 , 2 ) This scene of terror and the showing-off of socialist power, is completed by an total communication blockage.
For days now, the mass media of the regime , skilfully and tenaciously turn a deaf ear and are silent about the actions of the uniformed terrorists.
The fascism and the repression that is in hand for everyone who fights and for every voice of protest, can not still be hooded under ridiculous names and sweet words. The newly named ministry of citizen “protection”, proved that it is willing to protect to death, using time honed recipes and practices that every state uses...tortures, police violence, state terrorism,repression!
And despite the declared opposition against the hooding law, despite the crocodile tears about imbalancing the penal legislation, what was not dared to be done by the declared fascists was done by the hooded with socialism fascists! For the first time with fabrications and procedural mix-ups, the new law was used! Minor charges in one night turned into felonies!
They don't just criminalize the use of hoods, they criminalize the entirety of class and social struggles, they criminalize every voice and action of of protest against the violence and terrorism that the state tries to enforce.

Free hunger-striker Thodoris Hliopoulos right now!
Thodoris Hliopoulos one of the hundreds that were arrested and/or persecuted during the December Riots that has been on hunger strike since the 10th of July. He is imprisoned since 22 of December awaiting trial on the justiciary prisons of Koridallos, charged with three felonies and 2 misdemeanors. The charges are solely based on the testimonies of two cops of the riot police. To show solidarity the prisoners of Koridallos abstain from the commons.
Thodoris Hliopoulos doesn't accept the things he is charged for. He is imprisoned for over 7 months in Koridallos Prisons because he “wounded Democracy” according the attorneys that ordered the prolongation of his detention for 5 more months on the 8th of July.
The continuation of keeping Th. Hliopoulos a hostage is part of the process the state has against the riots, trying make an example out of him and terrorize all those who struggle in the roads of resistance, self – organization and solidarity , the roads of the revolt...
Various solidarity actions were done in :
Ioannina, Halkida, Mitilini, Chania, Lamia, Thessaloniki, Naxos, Volos , Athens, Trikala, Veroia, Kalamata, Drama, Karditsa, Rethymno,

The thugs of the state hit again. Attacks in squats and self-managed spaces.
The last attacks self managed social spaces and squats are part of an attempt to pressure anti-authoritarian groups and their spaces. This a central political choice, which is supported and by the shameless cooperation between cops and fascists. With the aim of gaging every free voice and repressing every resistance, the Para-State attacks once more with molotovs, incendiary devices and burglary attempts.
- On Thursday 9th of July, now and officially the government in the side of Hitler's followers. Markogiannakis, deputy minister of Public Order, visited and spoke with members of the neo-nazi party Golden Dawn in St. Panteleimonas square, to whom he gave the political support of the government for the fascist attack, half an hour later, on Villa Amalias Squat.
- The dawn of Tuesday 21th of July the squatted space that houses Radio Revolt, a train vagon of OSE in the center of the university campus of AUTH, was attacked by a unknown number of people with 3 molotov cocktails. The radio stopped it's broadcast only for 3 hours until power, which was cut for security reasons, was restored.
- On Saturday morning, 25 July 2009 at 5.05, arsonists attempted to put squat Fabrika Yfanet on fire by lighting barbecue tanks at the main iron gate. They left a bag containing six gas cans, one 4-litre petrol canister, and a box of fire-starters. The explosion could not escape the attention of squatters on standby inside the occupation for its protection (such measures were taken after the government threats against free spaces). With the help of neighbors we put down the fire, and fortunately absolutely no damage was done at all.
- Three days later, on the afternoon of 28th of July, a team of about 40 comrades, were attacked outside squat Delta by cops while they were gluing posters on the street . Some where taken to a police station but then left free.
- On Tuesday 4 August, 15 days after the first failed arson attempt on the squatted train wagon where radio revolt is housed, there was a second attack. The perpetrators manage to break a small window and pour flammable fluids in the interior and cause a fire, with the result of small damages in the station's lounge.

Against concentration camps and pogroms.
Another atrocity from the authorities, is recorded on Sunday, July 12, with the demolition of the refugee camp, their last shelter. The emigrants to whom we have shown our warm "hospitality" all these years. Before dawn a vast number of cops excluded access to the region, arrested whoever was inside the refugee camp -emigrants and 4 greeks who were there in solidarity to them- and then the whole mechanism of central and local State authorities operated harmonically -prefecture (nomarchy)/urban planning (with bulldozers), Electricity and Water Supply Services- flattened the few huts that where still standing after the fire which just "burst out" at the duration of the operation. One more, brutal assault, that deepens the rupture between the fighting parts of the society that resist and the state mechanisms.

The distribution of ideas...Can't be strangled! Can't be repressed!
During the revolt in December, pressure and attacks against the 2 existing Indymedia sites (Athens and Patras) reached a peak.
With ridiculous questions during the Greek Parliament sessions from members of parliament belonging to a fascist political party, slanderous rumours and sneaky publications even from the Greek Communists Party official newspaper, as well as other daily newspapers, the State has activated its plans of shutting down Indymedia, a website of direct information used by socio-political movements and internet meeting point for thousands of people sharing their thoughts and actions, creating and organising a site of free expression and resistance against Capitalism and State agendas epitomized in the motto “profits above people”.
Let them all know that Indymedia is outside their sphere of authority and control, it belongs to those voices suppressed and gagged by their system, it's far away from their logic and morality. It is ours and will stay alive for as long as we need it to change this world.

Israel proceeds to a massive massacre in Gaza
Since Saturday morning Israeli troops are bombarding Gaza Strip from air and sea, causing thousands of wounded and over 300 deaths [fotos]. Israelis and Western Mass Media justify the assault as a “legitimate defence” against the “home-made” rockets fired by the resistance Palestine parties (Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)) from Gaza Strip to the area of Israel, mainly targeting Israeli settlers. The truth is that the truce has been violated long ago by Israelis themselves, who besieged the Gaza Strip (by air and sea) after election victory of the resistance party Hamas, aiming at the elimination of Palestine from the world map. Israelis have deployed troops and tanks at the borders of Israel and Gaza, preparing a ground attack in Gaza.
Palestinian armed Resistance Parties call to a new military intifada and are addressing the progressive and democratic mankind for solidarity to their just struggle and cause. Initially, Mahmud Abbas, blames Hamas for the new holocaust. However, under the pressure of massive and militant demonstrations in West Bank, he is enforced to change his claims. At the same time, the leaderships of Arabic regimes postpone the summit of Arab League till Wednesday 31/12, with ridiculous justifications. The government of Egypt refuses to open the Rafah crossing for all residents of Gaza. Contrary to this climate of non-confrontation and complicity of the Arabic regimes with Israel, massive gatherings and demonstrations take place in Israel and all Arabic countries, with slogans against Israel and Arabic governments. Nasrallah, leader of resistance party of Lebanon Hezbollah, urged Egyptians in their "millions" to take to the streets to force their government to open the country's border with Gaza, where Israel is conducting deadly air raids against Palestinians."If the Egyptian people took to the streets by the millions, could the police kill millions of Egyptians?” he asked.
The massive massacre in Gaza, enjoys the tolerance of European governments and the support of USA.
On Monday 29/12 the ship “Dignity” of Free Gaza Movement departed from Larnaka (Cyprus) for Gaza carrying medical supplies in its cargo and doctors, surgeons in its crew. On Tuesday 30/12, in the morning, “Dignity” was attacked with real fire ammunition and rammed by the Israeli naval forces in the International Waters, 90 miles off the coast of Gaza, who violated the International Law and the International Law for the Sea. “Dignity” was enforced to sail to Lebanon.
Solidarity rallies and demonstrations have been held across Europe too. In Athens, on Monday 29/12, a solidarity demonstration has been held outside the Israeli embassy. Arabs and Greek Demonstrators clashed with police force. 3 demonstrators were put into custody. One of them broke the police siege, went into the Israeli embassy and took the Israeli flag.

On Monday 3th November the prisoners of the greek prisons started to protest at the beging with boycotaz of the meals and next at 7/11 with hunger strike. The demands of the prisoners are better conditions of living and health in the prisons, to abuse the ministry the maximum time of the penalty, to nagate the disciplinary penalties, to improve the time of the visitings, to improve the contitions on the police departement of the imigrated people, to stop to abuse the abillity of remand.
The answer of the authorities on the prisoners' demands is to strain the status of terror, to transfer to other prisons the leading prisoners of the protest, to use more psycological violence and disciplinary penalties and to discharge the crises with the help of the left parliament parties.
