Scotland Yard: Globalising
ADVERTISEMENT
Under the guise of the incompetency of the Greek security forces the ex-police chief was replaced by a man named Nasiakos who spent months in the USA as well as coopeartion being extended with Scotland yard.
now if one were to assume the irony of the situation, Scotland Yard cant even control its own backyard it has now undertaken responsibilites elsewhere. The policing of foreign territories is by extension equal to the globalising tenedencies of capital. British
corporations are now responsible for water contracts as far afield as Turkey or Bolivia why shouldn't they be responsible for dealing with 'terrorism' in Greece which is a member of the EU?
Since when did Scotland Yard undertake work abroad, subisidised by the UK taxpayer? Since we entered the new neo-colonial era of course, whereby the new Sherlok Holmes believe they can turn the clock back of history.
By making associations of the left with terrorism they believe people will swallow the bitter pill of the revelations during the silly season in politics - summer - when in reality they are having the exact opposite effect. Anyone anybody talks to who isn't employed as
a journalist or a security agent doesnt believe the official propaganda only because it is so ridiculous. Just one example:The Xiros family arrested as the perpetrators according to information supplied by the father who is a priest by profession didn't even have enough money to pay their bills, yet they are
supposed to have robbbed banks of billions of drachmas and carry out hits on motorbikes - when some of those alleged to have done this are over 170 kilos in bodyweight...
Already the lawyers body is complaining as to why those arrested aren't allowed lawyers and why they are to be kept in the new white cells the Greek state has built - similar to those in Turkey - after
all there is no role for lawyers under the new Anti-Terrorist Acts, they essentially become defunct.
The issue is to what extent will Scotland Yard be able to play in other countries when it is in crisis back home? The more its operatives fly abroad the more they globalise the crisis, in particular when they are now needed to spy and do damage to the important strikes breaking out in the public sector in the UK.
