SHAME to Athens IMC editorial

Why IMC UK shows its solidarity to Miller - Tegopoulos gang There are strong accusations that the Athens IMC is CONTROLED from a leading Greek newspaper – ELEYTHEROPTYPIA

SHAME to Athens IMC editorial
SHAME to Athens IMC editorial


As for Athens IMC , there are some serious things happening. There are down for 3 days. There is no real information from the IMC team in Athens. They claim servers upgrade etc. Mr Miller the US ambassador in Athens started a campaign to the Greek media with suggestion to “calm down” and instructions for “neutral” coverage of the war ( US liberators etc..) . There are strong accusations that the Athens IMC is CONTROLED from a leading Greek newspaper – ELEYTHEROPTYPIA. Mr. Tegopoulos, the owner of this news paper, is allied very close to the government , and a leading figure in the Greek media trying to control the left wing of the Greek society. Mr. Miller (US ambassador in the foto) has visited the owners of the news papers also. There are accusations against the editorial team of Athens IMC, controlled from Mr. Tegopoulos ( Eleutherotypia) , that following the orders of Miller – Tegopoulos, deliberately CLOSED down the IMC Athens , with childish excuses. It is very difficult for me to believe in coincidence, that is to have the server down for 4th day now, and no realistic explanation given. DOWN WITH TEGOPOULOS , THE MILLER PUPET

US 'Democracy'

IMC Anthens became a pole of attraction of the anti-government left and hence had to be closed down on behalf of US 'democracy'.
For a period of months participants have consistently attacked the Greek version of the Anti-Patriot Act (Trial of so-called 17November 'terrorist' group) as well as consistently supporting Iraq's resistance to the imperialist invasion.
Hence indymedia Athens went 'out of control' of the US gang that now dominates Greek political life, hence its termination for 'systems upgrade' (read monopoly control of news networks)

Indymedia teams throughout the world should protest the closure of Indymedia Athens as a prelude to the closure of all Indymedia outlets

If US wants to close the IMC Athens could drop some Tomahwk-Cruz to the users of IMC Athens and the story will be finished.
Who said that Simitis is working for us?
Is working for himself and his friends.
You know how much money he takes for one reason or another?
First he starts something, he gets the high point value and then he asks money to solve the problem.
That is what happen with 17n.
You know also the safety of OG 2004 big money for frinedly companies and owners of him.
We don't know what to do with him really we fight to save some money for him because we are drain.
Instead of eggs pls throw money now to the Embassy so we will respond to his demands.
Otherways he is going to sales you as slaves to inhabit Iraq (because of the missing population). Greeks are good slaves as far we know by Simitis.
Whatever you do to them they don't respond. Specially if you tell them that they are slaves because a NATIONAL IDEA.
