Despicable Racism On Behalf Of Israel.

       Why is this tolerated by the so called civilised countries on this planet? This is Israel spouting anti-Semitism, while insulting and humiliating ordinary people whose land they occupy and are stealing. Inhuman treatment for no other reason than they are Palestinians. This is the daily life of those in the occupied territories. Unacceptable, despicable, racism, tolerated and and condoned by the West as they turn a blind eye to this de-humanising of a people.

Ferguson Waits For Justice.

      The verdict in the Darren Wilson case is due any time now. Darren Wilson is the white police officer charged with shooting the black youth Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. How the verdict goes will determine what happens next in Missouri. so far there are 68 arranged meet-up places for when the verdict is announced. I don't think the local population will take it quietly if the verdict doesn't satisfy their cry for justice.

This from Anarchist News:

     There is now a compiled list of 68 different meet-up places across the country that will ignite in response to the upcoming Darren Wilson verdict. Some of these have been fairly under-promoted, so it might make sense to start spreading this information around your networks now. There are rumors that the verdict will be announced this week (perhaps even this afternoon) and many of the meet-ups are the day of/after the announcement. Please keep your ears to the ground.

 New meet-ups are being added every hour. Go to http://fergusonresponse.tumblr.com/ to add your own, or find more specific details about locations. Visit http://fergusonandfurther.noblogs.org/ for flyers, posters and other propaganda about Gerguson.

The State's March To Fascism.

      Day and daily the Greek state bears down on the people, creating enforced poverty and deprivation at the behest of the Troika, (ECB, European Central Bank, EC, European Commission, and the IMF, International Mankind Fuckers). As the anger among the people grows, the state works hard at closing down any hint of free space occupied by the people. Squat after squat is attacked, evicted and closed down, the latest being the Orfanotrofio squat in Thessaloniki, which had existed for years as a social centre in the community. Some of the squats recently evicted have been in existence for more than 20 years. In difficult times the state will crush any attempt by the people to organise among themselves.

     The Greek state is now openly racist, this is another line of its defence, scapegoats. Blame the immigrants for all the ills that beset the people of Greece. In Greece they are rounded up and detained in concentration camps, more than a hint of Nazi Germany. It is the normal progression of the state whenever it feels threatened, a move to open fascism.

       Greece and the Greek people are no different from any other European country. What is happening in Greece is happening here. Though perhaps not as overtly or as brutal, but that is only because the state here doesn't feel the need to go that far, yet. However it is on the agenda whenever they feel that need arises.

Fascist Army Unleashed.

       Is this film proof that the police in Greece are among the most brutal, racist and out of control police force in Europe. Police violence is a widespread daily occurrence, and during this financial plunder and rape of Greek society, their brutality goes unchecked. When the Greek Junta was ousted in 1974, the one part of their filth that was not cleaned up was the Greek police force. It is the same vicious, fascists element that it was from 1967 to 1974. It is a fascist army and it has been let of the leash to instill fear among the local population.

       On 2nd February 2013 Cheick Ndiaye's body was found on the rail tracks of Thissio metro station in central Athens. A friend, who was a witness states he saw Cheick being pushed to his death by two municipality police officers who were chasing him. Cheick was a migrant from Senegal.

This film is part of an ongoing research project in Athens.

THE ENEMY IS HERE, AT HOME.

     You and I may know this, but how many people don't? He may be talking about Iraq, but the same applies to Afghanistan as it did in Vietnam and thousands of other unfortunate countries across the globe. Though I do believe that more and more people are beginning to realise the our real enemy is right here in our own country, and most of them wear expensive suits.

WHERE DEMOCRACY WAS BORN, FASCISM FLOURISHES.

       With capitalist poverty doesn't come aid, but repression. As the possibility of anger and unrest simmers among the populace, your elected government turns to fascist policies to keep you in line. Greece today, tomorrow -----??

This from Teacher Dude's Grill and BBQ:

     With August coming to an end and the temperatures dropping from the low 40s C to low 30s C The northern port city of Thessaloniki shakes off of its summer lethargy as people come back from their annual holidays and the town readies itself for the return of its large student population. However, amidst the renewed hustle and bustle some things haven't changed. Many of the businesses in the centre remain shuttered, their store fronts decorated with graffiti and For Rent signs, the cafés while now busier are far fewer in number and the restaurants mostly remain empty except on the weekend. The only new business is a chain of fast food outlets that does a roaring trade in in 70 cent hot dogs and cheap iced coffees.

      On the other hand whether it be in the supermarket lines or in the streets the talk is about how everyone will pay the latest round of bills. The guy pumping petrol complains about the cost of road tax whilst the woman behind me in line frets about how she'll make it through the winter if the government decides to raise the cost of heating oil by 40% as promised.

RACISM SUITS THE CORPORATE FASCIST SYSTEM.

        As the suffering and chaos in Greece grows by the day, people are looking for answers. Sadly some are finding the wrong answers and are blaming immigrants, and of course there are those that will encourage this view, if it wasn't for the immigrants there would be more for us type of thinking. In most cases migrants are trying to do what we all do, trying to survive in a repressive exploitative system, some are fleeing from violence and/or for their very life, most it is the same system that is brutally assaulting the Greek people, that is responsible for them leaving their own country, they are in the same boat as the rest of us, but perhaps at the sharper end. It is only by unity that we can all hope to overthrow this system that turns ordinary person against ordinary person, while the perpetrators get richer by the day. It suits the corporate fascists that we should be fighting among ourselves, that way they have less to worry about our solidarity bring them down.

 This from THE GREEK STREETS:

Refugees trying to reach safety in Europe get stuck in Greece: Once in Europe, they have to remain in the country they first arrived in. They speak about lack of basic support like housing, clothing and food and daily racist abuse. Not only by fascists like Golden Dawn, but also Greek people – and the police.
This is a first glimpse into an issue that we are working on. We have just returned from a second visit to Greece and heard many stories and witnessed some of the conditions people face in Athens, including a vicious racist attack. Check back for more, and follow us on facebook and twitter to stay up to date.

STILL THE MOST DEMOCRATIC STATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST???

May 24, 2012 -- Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- One of South Africa’s largest tertiary institutions, the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in Durban, is a site of multiple controversy but a near-disaster on May 21 deserves more reflection because it points us in a positive direction: away from allying with the Israeli state and its apartheid policies during a time of heightened racism. A representative of Israel had been invited to speak but was then disinvited, after the university was called on by staff and students to respect the “academic boycott” of Israel.

From South Africa, the African continent and everywhere else, it is a critical time to step up pressure against the rogue regime in Tel Aviv. Israel’s hard-right leader, Benyamin Netanyahu, is in a dangerous career phase, preparing to bomb Iran; illegitimately holding thousands of Palestinian prisoners in worsening conditions; expanding settlements on Palestinian land in the West Bank; terrorising Gaza; and tightening his militaristic hold over the region.

Netanyahu’s approach to protecting his core constituency was unveiled at a recent cabinet meeting, in his paranoid description of African refugee immigration (mainly from Eritrea, Ethiopia and South Sudan): “If we don't stop the problem [sic], 60,000 infiltrators [sic] are liable to become 600,000, and cause the negation of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic [sic] state.”

Interior minister Eli Yishai picked up the same theme: “They [African immigrants] should be put into holding cells or jails … and then given a grant and sent back."

In spite of police data confirming that Israelis commit more than twice as many crimes per person as African immigrants, Yishai claimed, “most African infiltrators are involved in crime”.

According to the Hotline for Migrant Workers, “In the last month, the number of hate crimes carried out by Israelis against Africans has risen tremendously. Multiple Molotov cocktails were thrown into houses of Africans in southern Tel Aviv on two separate occasions, a week apart.” Then on the night of May 23, the logic of Netanyahu/Yishai unfolded at street level when hundreds of their followers attacked Africans in what was widely described as a race riot, leaving many injured, with a dozen Israelis arrested for violence.
