a letter from a GREEK PRISON - Costas Gournas

14-05-2010 10:36

 http://garizo.blogspot.com/2010/05/m.html
(Published also in Athens Indy in Greek)
Neither torture nor the psychological war nor do devastating penalties will make me kneel. I'm stronger than ever and I have unwavering faith in my struggle and revolution. Now I can look straight my kids eyes and be proud. Besides, their birth at 6 December 2008 is like an order for me to keep going. Finally, in this text I want to honor my partner Lambros Foundas murdered by the regime. This battle had this beautiful fighter that will always remain etched in our hearts.

Defend the Right to Protest Israeli War Crimes.

14-05-2010 01:01

Audio Banner
There is disturbing evidence that laws are being used to stifle
political protest; especially when it concerns protest against Israel.
The severity of the sentences passed on demonstrators outside the Israeli
Embassy during the bombing of Gaza is unprecedented. Charges of racist
conduct against demonstrators in Scotland have been rejected by the courts.

Venezuela is not Greece

13-05-2010 15:56

"Nonetheless, the country still faces significant economic challenges, some of which have been worsened by mistaken macroeconomic policy choices. The economy shrank by 3.3% last year. The international press has trouble understanding this, but the problem was that the government's fiscal policy was too conservative – cutting spending as the economy slipped into recession. This was a mistake, but hopefully the government will reverse this quickly with its planned expansion of public investment this year, including $6bn for electricity generation."

Your "new"(really the same old gov this time with a new name to "fool you again") leadership is just the other side of the business party as is the case here in the U.S. the Dems qnd the Repubs, Labour vs a conservative/liberal coalition. They are working together to screw us all. ONLY A TRUE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM CAN SAVE US! We need to build it now!

Greece: Blood and tears for the proletariat!

13-05-2010 15:25

During the general strike in Athens
In order to resist the policy of blood and tears which the bourgeoisie inflicts on it, the proletariat has no other possibility than the resumption of the class struggle, starting with the rejection of anti-worker measures by the government and the calls for “national solidarity”, and for sacrifices “to defend the fatherland and democracy”.

Birmingham Anti-Election Campaign

12-05-2010 16:20

As is the tradition in Birmingham, every election is met with opposition. With all three main parties offering us cuts in services, privatisation, job losses and wage cuts the message that 'Voting Changes Nothing' was even more self evident. Along many of the arterial routes into Birmingham, anti-election boards were hoisted up lamp posts not only encouraging people not to vote but promoting ongoing resistance to our so-called 'leaders'. Responses from the public as they went up were all positive and with the exception of one set of boards they all stayed up....and might be left up ready for the next election after the Con-Lib pact falls to pieces.
