Communique of Antiauthoritarian Movement about the surveillance scandal

Antiauthoritarian Movement | 05.02.2006 21:04 | Globalisation | Repression | Social Struggles | World

This is a communique of Antiauthoritarian Movement about the surveillance of telephones of its members: Grigoris Tsilimantos, Argiris Mouratidis, Attila Ihtiar and Marina Meintani (who used to be a member of the antiauthoritarian newspaper “Babylonia”)

This is a communique of Antiauthoritarian Movement about the surveillance of telephones of its members: Grigoris Tsilimantos, Argiris Mouratidis, Attila Ihtiar and Marina Meintani (who used to be a member of the antiauthoritarian newspaper “Babylonia”)

The recent events, about the “discovery” of a surveillance network which was installed in the software of the mobile-phone company Vodafone, are coming to confirm with the most loud way that the “Big Brother” consists a necessary condition and not an error of the global established regime.

This necessary condition has neither rules nor borders in order to impose a new model of human being, the model of the totally controlled and absolutely transparent individual to those who process the power and the authority mechanisms, whose spearhead is the USA. First targets are, and they are going to be in the future as well, all of them who belong from this side, the side of the Resistance.

No one has any illusions about the fact that this entire surveillance network was not installed only for spying on 100 phones. For a series of decades the N.S.A. is the global ear and the global eye (whose local shop is the OSAC which is stationed in the USA Embassy in Athens), the application of the Echelon program, the Shegen Agreement, the terrolaws and the recent EU agreement for the constant and permanent surveillance of all the communications means of millions of citizens, all these consist the greedy beast of the authority control.

But the real sense of this case is that they must receive a response by the community of all who are part of the social struggles, a response by the people who don’t compromise and refuse to sell out their existence and dignity to the mechanisms of authority, to the bosses and to the state. In this category belong the three imprisoned social fighters Aspiotis, Karasarinis and Kalaitzidis.

As about the surveillance of the prime minister Karamanlis and his council of governmental ministers by the same network who was spying on our comrades, we have to declare only this: Cronus is still eating his children!

DIGNITY - SOLIDARITY- RESISTANCE

Greece, 03/02/2006
Antiauthoritarian Movement

[ Cronus, a figure of greek mythology whose name may derive from the verb kreno, which means 'to exercise sway', 'to reign over', 'to govern', the son of Uranus and Gaia and the youngest of the twelve Titans. His wife was also one of the Titans, since he married his sister Rhea. Their offspring were Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus. Once Cronus had castrated Uranus, he and his wife Rhea took over the throne of dominance over all beings. But not all was well for Cronus, as he believed that his fate was to be overthrown by one of his own children. To prevent this from happening he began to swallow his newborn, taking them at birth then swallowing them whole, in order nobody to be able to threat his authority. ]

The Times newspaper is also blaming the yanks. The Times has close links with MI6.
 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-2025457,00.html

However, the British are active in Greece and the station head there is a known to torture people over phone calls that they've made.
 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/02/333045.html?c=on#c141327

And this from the Guardian :
"UK Vodafone spokesman Ben Padovan played down the company's decision to remove the software and insisted that there was no connection between Tsalikides's death and the wiretaps. 'People are putting two and two together and making five,' he said."

After 5 minutes with Nicholas Langman in Room 101 they do.
Remember the Kelly suicide ? I just want to state for the record that I am not the least suicidal and I intend to live on another few years at least.

Vodafone and SIS

The Pakistanis that were tortured about phone conversations had mobile phones. It would be interesting to ask if they were on Vodafone...

" Three of the men spoke out at a press conference organised by the Greek Stop the War Coalition on Tuesday of this week, adding to mounting pressure on the Tory government there, and what should be equal pressure on Straw.

Munir Mohamed, one of the three, said, “On 17 July we were in our garden when seven or eight persons claiming to be police appeared. They showed no identification and asked for our mobile phones. I was the only one not having a mobile.

“I was a newcomer in Greece from Pakistan and I hadn’t yet bought one. They said, ‘You are a liar. You have hidden your mobile.’ "

'the Royal Bank of Scotland is particularly helpful'

05.02.2006 22:43

"Officers in the field may include not only those officially classed as diplomats but also others operating under 'deep' cover. Increasingly MI6 officers abroad act as 'illegals'. It is known that Service officers are sometimes employed during the day in conventional jobs such as accountancy, and provided with false identities. British banks - the Royal Bank of Scotland is particularly helpful, and to a lesser extent the Midland - help supply credit cards to officers working under cover. " - from Cryptome

"If using checks, please write them to: The Independent Media Centre (IMC) UK. In the UK, cheques or cash can be paid in over the counter at all branches of the Royal Bank of Scotland at no charge."

It's something everybody knows

07.02.2006 16:24

many people have their phones tapped, their cells monitored etc. To go on a press conference about that in front of major tv channels, like the bbc and cnn of greece, and asking money as a compensation from vodafone company, isn't it a little bit "in the system". How antiauthoritarian is that?

I must admit the possibility that it was an anarchist or mafia bugger (someone who bugs ) who planted the phones. If GCHQ is as powerful as they claim, and I truly suspect it is, then why such a low-tech bugging solution ? However the corpse certainly indicates SIS. So maybe Menwith Hill isn't all it is cracked up to be. Yet.
