December 11 saw the funeral of Sara, the young 13 year old girl who died from carbon monoxide poisoning in
Thessaloniki, after her mother, in desperation to keep herself and her daughter warm, lit a fire in a make-shift stove in
their apartment. The young girl and her unemployed mother lived alone
and had their power cut off three months earlier. They were doing
their best to try and keep warm, as temperatures dropped to near
freezing in their part of northern Greece.
In Greece even a
funeral march by students, is accompanied by riot police in full riot
gear. The march to the funeral by high school students in the
Thessaloniki, was also in commemoration of the murder of a 15 year
old teenager, Alexis Grigoropoulos, by a Athens police officer in
December 2008. An event that set off a wave of protest that engulfed
all of Greece in the worst civil violence experienced since the overthrow of the
country's military dictatorship in in 1973.
Sara died because of the Troika and
their subservient Greek puppet government. They forced the banksters'
policies of “austerity” and “structural adjustments” onto the
people of Greece, they are directly responsible for the deaths by
suicide, malnutrition and ill-health that must follow in the wake of
their social destruction. These events are not accidents, they are
the expected consequences of driving people to deprivation.
Alexis Grigoropoulos was murdered my
the state apparatus, likewise, Sara was murdered by that same state
apparatus. You can point a gun and shoot, or you can starve and
freeze people, the effect is the same, death by a deliberate action.
All the poverty and deprivation brought about by the actions of the
Troika, (EC, European Commission, ECB, European Central Bank, IMF,
International Mankind Fuckers) are not accidental events, they are
aware that if you slash people's standard of living, they will
suffer, the more you cut, the more they suffer, and that suffering can and does end in death. There is nothing
accidental in that.
