A Diary of Events of the Student Protest 8/6/6 Athens, against iminent privatisation laws

I was a firm believer in the war on terror, its aims, resolution never to bow down and eventually its ultimate success. This article would have reflected that, but while trawling through reams and reams of official government releases in order to write said article, I found evidence that starting in 1979 the American Government, headed up then by President Carter had begun a policy of funding Islamic terrorists to fight the soviets in Afghanistan. As well as extensive evidence that this policy was not only expanded in Afghanistan but also other groups opposing communism were funded in other countries. Eventually my own views were changed and this article will now show, that since 1979 successive American Presidents selectively or intentionally ignorant attitude toward unintended consequences of foreign policy decisions, has figured largely in the scourge of Islamic extremist terrorism the world now faces.

Animal cruelty is a worldwide epidemic of shocking proportion. Luckily, the few are trying to save our animals for the next generation.

For the past 5 weeks students have started squating universities with the number of occupations increasing day by day. The students are also organizing major demos throughout greece. At polytechnic university there is an international art and activism caravan which presents alternative ways of protesting, they are supporting the student mobilizations.
