Communique of Antiauthoritarian Movement about the surveillance scandal

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!

[ 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. ]
