Greece is
shut down, the people have called a 48 hour general strike against
the extremely severe “austerity” cuts being imposed by the
financial puppets of the IMF, (International Mankind Fuckers), the
Greek government. 70,000 on the streets of Athens, over 15,000 on the
streets of Thesilonika, riot police fire stun grenades and tear gas
into the protesters, running battles across the city centre. This is
democracy Western style, the people don't want the policies the
government is forcing on them, so they try to beat the shit out of
the people to intimidate them in the hope that they will meekly
accept poverty and deprivation.
What the Greek people have had inflicted on them over the last 18
months or so, is unacceptable in any so called civilised country.
They have faced massive pay cuts, not just one but in some cases two
pay cuts, cuts to their pensions, if it is over 1,00Euros a month, it
is cut by 20%, also lump some retirement payments cut, increased
taxes, tax threshold lowered from 8,000 Euros to 5,000, VAT increased
to 23%, plus new taxes. One such new tax is the property tax, whereby
you have an extra tax if you have a house, it is worked out at so
much per square metre. Prices are rising and unemployment is soaring,
the health budget has been cut by 40%, health problems are mushrooming plus alcohol problems, drug problems and suicides are on the increase. Perhaps it wasn't the best health service in the world, but whatever it
was has now been decimated. Students complain of not having books,
30,000 public sector workers have been put on “reduced” pay, 60% pay,
with the possibility of being made redundant after a year. New
reduced pay and conditions for all civil servants, and an end to pay
bargaining, Still the IMF (International Mankind Fuckers) claim it is
not enough, their puppets in Athens must do more. Apart from the
savage dismantling of the social fabric of the country, they have
been ordered the sell-off of 59 billion Euros of public assets. The
IMF puppet government that is hell bent on pursuing these policies,
will in no way suffer themselves, no, the “necessary” hardships
they claim that must be imposed are for the people, not for the
implementers. Western capitalist democracy at work.
What we are witnessing is the Greek people being sacrificed on the
alter of corporate greed, a blood curling and savage process to
appease the world's billionaire bankers. The will not suffer any
losses, if they can take the money from the general public, and if
Greece is not enough then other countries will have to be sacrificed
on that same alter. Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, are all being
prepared for the sacrifice. With the rest of Europe being held in the
same trap in case that last list is not enough. France isn't far down
the list, and so it will go on until they own everything and their
coffers are secure. All this misery and deprivation to save the
wanker bankers from losing their unearned billions that they gambled
and lost.
The
fight that the Greek people are involved in is our fight, we are not
immune from the greedy tentacles of the corporate greed machine.
Whatever it can do and get away with, to protect its wealth and
power, it will do. It has no nationality, it knows no borders, the
only pain it can feel is the loss of money. People are of no
consequence, wealth and power are all that matters. We have to think
the same way, solidarity across nationality, solidarity across all
borders.
