They Do Kill Teenagers!!!

 

        Sorry I seemed to have missed this by a day or so, however it should be widely publicised, and I have no doubt there will be other calls for solidarity in this case  of extreme state violence against a young teenager. Time and time again the state's minders, the police, get away with murder, and near murder, the state has no intentions of putting its bully-boys on a leash, it needs them to intimidate and terrorise those who would dare to speak out against this brutal, exploitative, unjust system. Our silence, our inactivity, is their gain and their aim.

This from Act For Freedom Now:

URGENT COUNTER-INFORMATION REPORT CONCERNING 16 YEAR-OLD K.B. Athens – Greece

       On september 16th, the day of anti-fascist protests in Keratsini and Athens, for the 4 years since the murder of Pavlos Fyssas by neonazis of the Golden Dawn, 16 year old K.B. is arrested in Exarchia. During his arrest and transportation to GADA (central police hq of Athens), K.B. is beaten and tortured by riot cops resulting in his severe injury.
      Although this incident is publicized on social networks and counter-information websites, on the same day false information is leaked concerning the health of K.B. as well as the conditions of his care in the intensive care unit of KAT hospital.
      In an attempt to cover-up a very serious incident during an especially explosive juncture, another attempt is coordinated to downplay this incident. Stray information on the same day say that the kid’s situation has stabilized, that he has escaped danger, as well as that the detention protocol in the hospital was upheld.
       The reality however is far from that, and goes as such: K.B. right now is being hospitalized in an induced coma, in tubed???? in intensive care of KAT hospital. His relatives have had no hopeful news (till now) about his health and the information they have been receiving is extremely incomplete. It simultaneously became known after a syndicalist doctor of that hospital denounced it, that the police had a cop INSIDE the intensive care unit which is obviously forbidden. Doctors  cannot bring him out of the coma he is in right now because of his situation and do not know when he will come out of it. His injuries are severe, he had an epileptic episode as well as loss of consciousness.
        Also, today he had an operation and had metal rods placed in both of his legs. Not trusting the state apparatus who only care about their self-preservation in anyway, we call on anyone who knows anything concerning the arrest and transfer of 16 year-old, to email:
againstpolicebrutality@espiv.net in order for us to investigate what has happened exactly.
      It is a matter of survival of the authoritarians to maintain the illusion of social normality in any way. On our side, we ought to not give even a bit of space to those who attempt to silence and punish whoever resists.
Our solidarity is a given but also factual and we call for a gathering at KAT hospital on Wednesday September 20th.
NO ONE ALONE IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
EVERYONE TO THE STREETS
EVERYONE TO THE BARRICADES
Solidarity assembly to K.B.
*next assembly is on September 22nd at 7pm at the Polytechnic in Athens.

The Mainstream Media, Weaver Of Illusions.

 

         Our perceptions of the world around us, our value structure, our vision of reality, is built on the information we receive. What happens if that information is false? If you rely on the bulk of your information from that babbling brook of bullshit, our mainstream media, the chances are that you will have a false vision of the world around you, a distorted view of reality. The babbling brook of bullshit, the mainstream media, is no more than a propaganda machine for the establishment. It is owned and controlled by a handful of very rich conglomerates, who obviously have a vested interest in protecting their wealth and power. For almost  the last couple of centuries, it has never been a source of accurate information, and it never will be. Those who own the babbling brook of bullshit have an agenda, apart from making money, and that is to shape public opinion, to shape it in favour of their idea of how the world should be run, and to protect that wealth and power.

In the following video, John Pilger lucidly points this out, quoting obvious lies that flourished as "news" and by disclosing facts regarding that babbling brook of bullshit.
