A political party cannot be held accountable for the crimes of one of its followers, and/or supporters because if we support this argument, then how do we deal with all the atrocities that leftist groups have committed over the past 70 years and have never been punished? Did we question the legality of the Greek Communist party after it sent off 30,000 Greeks to the concentration camps in Siberia in the 1940s (these people were eventually killed there)? Did we question the legality of the SYRIZA party when its own members proudly announced that they were anarchists in the Greek parliament? Did we question the legality of the DIMAR party when members such as Mrs. Repoussi questioned the genocide of Asia Minor Greeks?
As far as we know, there was never any finger pointing there. Most news reports concentrated on the specific party member and not the whole party. Why then do they want to point the finger at the Golden Dawn party because of what one of its members (may or may not be a member) did? Is it because the establishment wants a strong Golden Dawn party because this will give rise to a strong Leftist extreme party as well? Or is it because they fear Golden Dawn's popularity? Is it because other political forces are ready to make their come back, or is it because of political gain? And finally, is it because financial interests want to create a climate of instability, or is it because Greece is getting ready to side with non-Western countries on matters of energy?
It is a little bit of everything!
Think about it folks... Think long and hard.
Political parties are exploiting this tragedy for political gain.
For one, the ruling conservatives are afraid of Golden Dawn party because many of their supporters migrate by the hundreds to the Golden Dawn party every time they feel that the conservatives are crossing the red line (or basically every time the conservatives lean a bit more towards the left). With rumored national elections only months away, the conservatives fear that they might lose power if they either attack the Golden Dawn party, or allow a climate of chaos to prevail. If this happens, then this will give rise to the leftist extreme party of SYRIZA and as a consequence to the Golden Dawn party as well.
PASOK, on the other hand is hanging on a thin thread. Most voters in Greece will probably find it very difficult to trust this party again, let alone vote for it in the next elections and it is believed that they will lose even more voter momentum as the Memorandums unfold. The party is broke, and owns millions of euros to the banks. They are clinging on for life because they need the state funds that come with being a political party. Striking at the Golden Dawn party comes natural to them because they will do anything to gain some more voters, by eliminating their opponents. Also, they will have a reason to strike at the conservatives and will probably accuse them of having extreme right elements within its ranks like they did all these years. Most importantly, their leader Evangelos Venizelos is terrified that if the Golden Dawn party came into power, then a thorough investigation of the long list of scandals that occurred during their period in government would also be conducted. Finally, with Golden Dawn in power, SYRIZA would also be in power and Venizelos' position in the party would be compromised since his long-time rival George Papandreou more or less controls some elements of SYRIZA.
Speaking of SYRIZA, apart from the corrupt PASOK we all know which has parked in its corner, there are also the far-leftist elements in this party that are not only the leftist version of Golden Dawn party but far worse and more dangerous. Both the Golden Dawn and the SYRIZA party are in a fight for the control of the square as they say, and have been long time rivals. In downtown Athens they have battled against eachother for years now in control of some of the central squares, just as street gangs do, and today they are in Parliament doing the same thing. The thing to remember here is that the more SYRIZA's popularity rises, so will the Golden Dawn's because one far left element always needs a far-right element for balance.
As for the Greek Communist party (KKE) and the Democratic Left party (DIMAR), not much to mention here, they will do everything in their power to maintain the voters they have because it is highly unlikely that they will even be voted into parliament at the next national elections (if we take the numbers from recent public opinion polls into consideration).
Instability and Unrest
We here at HellasFrappe feel that everything surrounding this murder stinks false flag. One reason for this is because they are trying to baptize this crime as "political". It is as if we are living in the 1940s again when the Greek left and the Greek right were killing each other in the fields.
For one, Amnesty International came out with an announcement on Thursday clearly stating that this was a politically motivated crime and that there would be grim consequences if it goes unchecked. We all know that Amnesty International is controlled by Soros interests, so why would they rush to make such a statement?
The answer to this has already been "foretold".
Earlier this year, it was suspected that something big will begin to unfold in September with the aim of destabilizing the country. In fact, every time Greek citizens begin to enjoy a period of stability, something always happens to rattle the waters and create a chaotic climate.
In fact classified intel that was published on the military news site Defencenet on August 14th had revealed that chaos would brake out in the autumn, specifically noting the month of September.(Example the events that unfolded in Keratsini earlier this week). The report, which was conducted by the Greek intelligence unit (EYP), indicated that a burst of violence would begin sweeping across Athens creating uncontrollable chaos, and would then spread across the other parts of the country in the framework of destabilizing the Greek economy. Basically the report said that this climate would exploit the fury Greek citizens already have against the government and the harsh austerity measures that have kept the country in a 6-year recession.
According to the confidential report, nearly 150,000 "participants" have been recruited in this huge provocation and it is believed that they are going to take part in violent protests, the looting and vandalizing of businesses, etc.. Quite interestingly, most of these provocateurs are illegal immigrants, most of which are presently trapped in Greece and cannot cross into Europe, and who are more than willing to jump at an opportunity to take on a job to loot and create chaos.
If you don't trust the Greek secret services, or defencenet, or even HellasFrappe, then why not refer to the official statements that were made by Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras to the US-based "Washington Post" earlier this year? In that interview Samaras noted his concerns about an imminent outbreak of violence on account of the economic crisis and stressed that if riots were to occur then they would be nastier, and more chaotic than those of December 2008 (when Alexis Grigoropoulos died) and/or the events of February 12, 2012 when most of Athens was set ablaze by (suspected paid) assailants.
And we here at HellasFrappe ask are the events that occurred on Tuesday night in Keratsini the beginning to an autumn of chaos and instability?
We believe they might be. In fact we are in the opinion that a new "game" is being played right before our eyes.
Fortunately we are not the only ones. In a separate report on Olympia we read that the the same fascist centers that staged the tearing of a Quran several years ago, or that were behind the arsonist attack against the Marfin bank that took the lives of 3 people (one of which was also pregnant) are continuing with "business as usual".
In a past investigation, these same centers were discovered of maintaining a base where officials found workshops that produced bombs and other such weaponry, while the children of a leading PASOK cadre were arrested.
Members were even calling for demonstrations in support of extreme Islamists that are fighting against the Syrian government, and according to Olympia some of its members are also in the process of being prosecuted for human trafficking and slavery, as well as other filthy crimes. Check further with olympia on this story by clicking here.
Isn't it funny, or a coincidence that every time Greece attempts to embrace support from countries that are not well liked by the West, such as Russia or China, we are suddenly thrown into chaos? We saw all this happen four years ago when the "Pythia 1" plan unfolded in front of our eyes with the toppling of the Karamanlis government. It was the same climate. Greece was getting ready to side with Russia on several pipeline projects, and had just said NO to George Bush on the case of FYROM and suddenly chaos broke out in our country.
Did the "Pythia 1" plot end when Karamanlis was toppled and are there any similarties to what is happening today?
Good question and the answer is simply no. We believe that some "think-tanks" use tried and tested recipes and literally believe that if something worked before, then with a few adjustments it could possibly work again.
Let us take a look at what the Pythia 1 plot entailed, in accordance with the article we published here on HellasFrappe at the time that was based on Epikaira magazine's findings.
Pythia 1 had four main points
The assassination plot against Karamanlis had as its objective to postpone and/or cancel his government’s decision to move ahead with an energy policy that would make Greece a fair player in the global energy market, while it was part of a larger plan that was set to totally destabilize the country’s economic and political system.
- First Phase: Political instability
- Second Phase: Economic unrest
- Third Phase: Social instability. This was implemented with various forms of social unrest, including terrorist acts.
- Fourth Phase: Weaken Foreign Policy - (Read more about this by clicking here
Are we seeing the same things unfold today? Well the Left wants to provoke a climate of political and economic instability and they have clearly stated that they want to remove Greece from the Eurozone. If they achieve this then they will generate political and economic instability, and at the same time weaken our foreign policy. This would probably please some parties who are more friendlier to Turkey, or Albania, or even FYROM and this would also please many elite Greek businessmen who have their savings in Swiss banks (200 bln alone in Swiss banks) and want to return this money to Greece once our country returns to the drachma so that they can triple and quadruple it. Returning Greece to the drachma will also serve the interests to rich oil tycoons who in the future will prefer to purchase Greek natural gas and oil in drachmas, and then sell it in Euros, pounds and/or dollars. (No need to expand further on this subject, we all know Greece has vast quantities of natural gas and oil that are set to be explored and exploited.)
Remember: It is an old recipe that has been tried and tested. (Example Sierra Leone. Even though it is one of the richest countries on earth in the production of diamonds, the country is divided politically and therefore always fighting against each other. Here the elite has succeeded indeed, no stability just clear profitability.)
We also believe that the Pythia 1 plot has not reached its final stretch and the reason we believe this so strongly, is because every time George Papandreou makes a ploy to comeback into the political fora, only chaos follows. It is as if he cannot jump in and out of the political scene without making a huge splash (or splatter in this case.) This is the man who, according to Epikaira magazine, knew about the Pythia 1 plot, as well as the assassination attempt against Costas Karamanlis and basically didn't do anything about it because quite simply his masters had promised to raise him to power (or the chair of prime minister) if he scratched their back later on.
And he did.
We also found out that these "masters" included shady personalities such as George Soros. Some reports at the time had even said that Soros would enter and exit the Greek prime minister's mansion whenever he wanted to. And we ask? Can an average civilian enter and/or exit the prime minister's mansion because he feels like it, or will he meet with the gun of the national guard, the secret services and/or the Greek army?
Also, isn't George Soros always siding with the Leftist parties in Greece through its wannabe "Human Right's Watch" organization on the issue of illegal immigrants? Would it be fair then to assume that Human Rights Watch approves of human trafficking and slavery? Or is it safer to assume that they endorse actions that use these unfortunate souls to act as "provocateurs" in destabalizing a country?
Moreover, we also know that SYRIZA has been highly supported by some of Soros' foundations as well. In fact there was great controversy several months ago about this issue, with party leader Alexis Tsipras coming out and making comments about funds from the Soros foundation. You can read more about that by clicking here.
So now that we have connected those dots, and learned that George Papandreou and Alexis Tsipras have "common" friends it is time to get into the real juice of this article. Nonethless if you want to learn more about their "common friends" you can always click here.
Over the past few months, we also learned through many news reports that George Papandreou has been working behind the scenes -with Gianna Angelopoulou-Daskalaki- and mapping out his political comeback which some say has the blessings of the Clintons. Personally speaking folks, and after reading about what happened in Yugoslavia... Whenever you hear the name Clintons... RUN.
But fair is far, maybe George just wants to be reelected to continue having political immunity so that he will not be sent to jail for stepping all over the Greek Constitution, but what does this have to do with SYRIZA and the events that occurred in Keratsini? Well, we believe that wherever Papandreou walks... chaos follows. And we also believe that he might be using the same extremist leftist elements to achieve his unfinished business in Greece. Let us not forget that Papandreou was ousted out of government by European leaders and did not leave on his own free will.
And we also know that most of his followers moved over to SYRIZA or to other leftist parties, helping to surge the popularity of the rightest Golden Dawn party.
Of course this is something that is never discussed in Greece, especially by the mainstream media, because most of the television stations in Greece are secretly owned/supported by huge corporations that are more concentrated on their own agendas. For instance, some are pro-drachma and have been spreading propaganda to deliberately destablize the present economic state our country is in because they want to triple the money they took out of Greece in Euros, by importing back into the country as drachmas. Others are pro-left because they were fed very well under the PASOK establishment and want to see the socialists rise to power once again because old habits die hard and others are just trying to mold public opinion for larger, shadier and very greedy interests on the part of their foreign masters.
Enter Papandreou. The "yes man" for all seasons. For the right support ($$) he can do miracles. He can take a tragedy and twist it into his own political gain.
On Thursday he decided to make a statement about the deceased Pavlos Fyssa (or the victim of Tuesday night's stabbing in Keratsini) and this infuriated us here at HellasFrappe to levels that cannot be described. This is the same man who destroyed Greece, and who has already made a fortune from doing so by touring the US with prepared speeches about how to help Greece get out of the crises to wanna-be "Golden Boys" who park their Ferraris on Wall Street.
Papandreou expressed his regret for the death of Pavlos Fyssa, but of course there was no mention whatsoever about the victims of the Marfin fire in May 2010, or the thousands of Greek citizens that have died over the past four years from suicide, or poor medical care because of all the choices he made against our country. He spoke about democracy, just like he did several years ago when he was trying to topple Karamanlis, but he forgets that under his term as premier, Greek riot police were given strict instructions to savagely beat protestors who gathered in front of the Greek parliament to protest against the Memorandums of shame. He also expressed regret for all victims of violence, whether they be Greek or foreign and said that if Greek citizens "believe that violence is always about others, then it is sure to knock on everyone's door". He forgets that until he rose to power, we had less foreigners in this country, less crime, and certainly less chaos and therefore never had to worry about someone knocking on our door.
The audacity of Papandreou's statements exceed all bounds. He speaks about democracy and notes that this is what is at stake today in Greece and exploits a brutal tragedy. Democracy is not at stake because of a brutal stabbing as he and other Leftists claim today, democracy is at stake because we have people like Papandreou, Repoussi, Alekos Alavanos, or Lafazanis,etc. in parliament!
What a joke this all is! All these characters and many more like Papandreou have literally stepped all over the Greek Constitution, allowed measures to be passed that impoverish and literally enslave the Greek people and now they speak of democracy? They now use a death to pass their political agendas to the people? This is sickening!
Frappers, because of the left's actions, demonstrations have been banned in Greece, because every time people gather in peace some Leftist hooligans come waltzing by and begin throwing Molotov bombs at the police. Papandreou, who pretends to be a Leftist but was said to have rented an apartment in Manhattan next to Lady Gaga herself, ordered his riot police to pound on innocent citizens when he was in power. In fact his government threw thousands of canisters of tear gas at little children and the elderly and many, MANY, innocent people were injured during these demonstrations. One of which was yours truly as well.
Let us not forget the victims at the Marfin bank who died because of his choices, the fires of which were described to be an act of terrorism.
How strange that there was no reaction from the Left then. Did you see any protests being held by the KKE party against these deaths? Or what about DIMAR?
We all know SYRIZA wouldn't dare protest against such violent acts because it is supported by many anarchist groups and would lose many of its voters if it did.
Did you see the big bad Golden Dawn party or the conservatives recruit illegal immigrants and protest against these deaths then? Did they encourage people to riot, loot and burn down stores because of those deaths?
Hey, we published the photos and the videos that were posted across the blog sphere about this tragedy, and we know very well that there were specific LEFTIST anarchist groups that set fire to this building on purpose, in the framework of creating CHAOS as well as to frighten protesters in general of ever massing together and protesting again. Check relevant article by clicking here
Was chaos knocking "on everyone's door" then too? Or it simply knocks whenever the conservatives or the right is in power? Because we here at HellasFrappe always see the Left targeting the right in terrorist acts. Think back to the 70s, 80s, 90s, etc. and the various terrorist groups that committed unspeakable crimes to Greek politicians, businessmen and innocent civilians. Terrorist organizations such as November 17, etc., always targeted conservatives. Did you see the Left ever protesting about these crimes?
NEVER.
These terrorist groups all leaned towards the Left... never the right. But of course... Mr. Papandreou, SYRIZA, the DIMAR party, and KKE wants us to forget this.
Don't feel like going that far back in history? Well then we here at HellasFrappe want to know who set fire across downtown Athens two years ago? Who torched all those historic buildings and allowed foreigners to loot and destroy numerous businesses in central Athens? Take a look at this article: 12.2.12 - Athens In Flames Through Pictures - Elections Now!
Remember: It is an old recipe that has been tried and tested. (Example Sierra Leone.

Are you still in the opinion that the Left is not capable of such acts?
Read this - 25.2.13 - REPORT - Left-wing Terrorist Attacks & Organized Violence in Greece
Wake up folks! Greece has a long history of left-wing radicalism inclined toward violence. The 1970s saw the rise of radical group 17 November, and more recent years marked the rise of such groups as the Revolutionary Struggle and the Conspiracy of Fire Cells.
This is from one of our articles titled: 15.3.13 - The Radical Left in Greece: The Dangers of the Disaffected & the Unemployed
"The revolutionary left in Greece dates back to the anarchists of the 1800s and the emergence of communism in Europe. Influenced by the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, communist partisans were some of the most effective anti-Nazi forces during the Axis powers' brutal occupation of Greece (Italy and Bulgaria joined Germany in the occupation). After the Allied invasion of Greece and its liberation from Axis control, a civil war erupted that pitted communist partisans against anti-communist forces, which were backed by the British and the Americans. Because many former Nazi collaborators aided the anti-communists in the Greek Civil War, many anti-communist elements remained in Greece's security forces. The war also left the remnants of an embittered communist movement upset by the fact that Nazi collaborators such as Georgios Papadopoulos, who would become the future leader of a military junta that seized power in 1967, were never brought to justice.Funny how Papandreou always shows up and suddenly fear and chaos breaks out in this country. Funny how he always pops into the political scene just before the Greek state attempts to close a deal with countries that are not that pro-West. (This all occurred one day after the visit from a prominent Russian diplomat who spoke to Samaras about the interest of Gazprom, and other Russian companies).
Like much of Europe, Greece then became a Cold War battleground. The strength of the communist forces in Greece and in its neighbor, Turkey, was the driving force behind the 1947 Truman Doctrine in which U.S. President Harry S. Truman pledged military and economic support to Greece and Turkey to prevent them from falling into the Soviet sphere of influence.
This resulted in strong anti-U.S. and anti-NATO sentiment among the Greek left, which would later act on that sentiment through terrorist activity. But the United States and its allies were not the only ones attempting to influence Greece. The Soviet Union saw the Greek communists, like communist groups elsewhere in the West, as a useful tool. The Soviets actively supported communist activists in the Greek labor and student movements. Anti-regime radicalism in the Greek student movement came to a head in 1973, when student protests against the military junta were put down by force. In a particularly iconic incident, an army tank crashed through the gates of Athens Polytechnic on Nov. 17, 1973, as soldiers seized control of the university from student protesters.
The gravity of the Athens Polytechnic uprising was clearly felt when a then-unknown group, Revolutionary Organization 17 November, assassinated Richard Welch, the CIA station chief in Athens, in December 1975. From then until 2000, 17 November conducted several assassinations and attacked NATO, Greek government and Greek industrialist targets.
Although the group came to be known for close-quarter assassinations using .45-caliber pistols, they also conducted a number of successful bombing attacks, such as the June 1988 assassination of U.S. Defense Attache Capt. William Nordeen. In 1989, the group stole anti-tank rockets from a military base in Larissa. The rockets were later used in attacks against buildings and armored limousines.
The 17 November operatives practiced good terrorist tradecraft and excellent operational security. This allowed them to operate far longer than their contemporary radical leftist groups in Germany and Italy. While the founders of the German Red Army Faction and the Italian Red Brigades were arrested in the 1970s, the founders of 17 November were not taken into custody until 2002, when a botched bombing on a ferry company resulted in the arrest of the bomber. Authorities used the evidence the culprit provided to arrest most of the remaining members of 17 November, whose long reign of terror finally came to an end.
But Greece was not quiet for long. Inspired by the highly publicized arrest and trial of the 17 November members, a new group arose from the radical Greek left in 2003. This group was called Revolutionary Struggle. The group shared 17 November's anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and anti-U.S. focus, but it was more anarchistic than the Marxist 17 November.
From 2003 to 2010, Revolutionary Struggle bombed several Greek law enforcement buildings, banks and international corporations. The group was also responsible for a number of firearm attacks against police and a rocket attack against the U.S. Embassy. In the latter attack, the group notably used an RPG-7, not the M28 super bazooka rockets associated with 17 November. The rocket-propelled grenade launcher was recovered in April 2010, when six members of Revolutionary Struggle were arrested. Two members of the group, founder Nikos Maziotis and his wife, Panagiota Roupa, fled after being released from custody during their trial in July 2012. They are still at large.
In 2008, another Greek anarchist group calling itself the Conspiracy of Fire Cells announced its presence with a series of low-level bombing attacks against car dealerships and banks in Athens and Thessaloniki. Until late 2010, the group's attacks were meant to damage property and send messages rather than kill people -- a big departure from the homicidal intentions of 17 November. In the January 2010 bombing of the Greek Parliament, the group made a warning call to a newspaper that permitted the area to be evacuated, thus avoiding casualties.
This operational paradigm changed dramatically in 2010, when the group began to send letter bombs. After a number of letter bombs were sent to the Greek Ministry of Justice, foreign embassies in Athens and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Greek police arrested two suspects. At the time of the arrests, the suspects were found to be in possession of letter bombs addressed to then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office in Paris and to the Belgian and Dutch embassies in Athens. In total, 13 people were arrested and charged for their involvement in the Conspiracy of Fire Cells letter bomb campaign.
More recently, anarchists in Greece have conducted small-scale arson and bombing attacks against bank branches, political parties and the homes of journalists.
Seriously. Think about it... All of last year Papandreou was more or less vacationing in the US, because Greece was not closing deals, but rather was trying to stay afloat and not go bankrupt because of the choices that his so called "progressive" PASOK party had made.
Where are all these supporters today? They have all moved to SYRIZA.
Why have they been stationed there temporarily? Because at the flick of a wrist Papandreou can call on them for support and he does not want to give this support to Evangelos Venizelos since he has been in an internal war with the latter over who will control the PASOK party.
Who and/or what advocated for the legalization of all these immigrants, giving rise to the Golden Dawn party? One answer: Papandreou and PASOK.
Who benefits from their legalization? All the leftist parties benefit from their legalization.
Which parties rally alongside these illegal immigrants? SYRIZA, ANTARSYA, DIMAR and KKE. Basically all of the Left.
Are Soros backed NGO's supporting some of these illegal immigrant groups? Yes and we noted this further up by posting a back-up article. Was Soros also backing George Papandreou? Yes he was as noted further up as well.
Do you see how the dots connect?
And we ask when will this stop?
The decesased is just another victim that will simply widen the gap in our already fragile society. The attacks on the Golden Dawn party and the Left's instance to oust them out of Parliament -even though it is against the Constitution- will only escalate the popularity of Golden Dawn to unprecendented levels because any logical mind cannot condemn the far right, without also condemning the far left. Whoever purposely ignores this balance, is clearly clueless, or just plain stupid.
The recipe is as old as bread and used by all many countries around the world who want to "control" their people. So what if one person dies, two, three, ten, 20, etc., this is a small price to pay in the face of stirring up enough anger in citizens, so that the climate of hate and discord can continue. This hate is what has kept Hellenes from coming together since the fall of Ottoman occupation and it has been exploited to the maximum by all the governments and political parties that ruled this country. More so from the Left, since they have a complex about their violent and unconstitutional history.
It is not worth it my friends. We should not turn our backs to one another again. We do not deserve to once again become servants and executive bodies of those who want to destroy us.
Our nation cannot be divided any longer. Everything we have fought for, everything we have built and sacrificed as a people cannot be thrown out for political reasons. The tactics used by some political parties who are literally hanging in thin air for political survival cannot be looked at as democratic.
The rotting political system has nurtured this, and is now creating causes for explosions in our society that are unecessary. First its the culprits who spread crime, then its the provocateurs who spread fear among the citizens and then come the so called great thinkers who want to mold public opinion and turn logic into confusion, or the truth into a lie. All this destroys any hope of allowing our nation and our people from coming together, of ever forming a strong united front, and it only widens the gap between the left and the right in this country which has for the past 70 years attacked each other and all of us in the name of power.
Personalities such as Kissinger, and Soros must be climaxing with joy at this point. They have worked very hard at keeping our nation divided, because we are easier to control that way. By fueling this issue through their corrupt media outlets, and endorsing chaotic protests the establishment is today patting these war mongers on the back for a job well done.
What the establishment does not realize is that the more they strike at Golden Dawn without any contradiction, the more popular Golden Dawn becomes. This is the establishment that literally tossed our country off the cliff and cannot wash its hands by going on television and molding public opinion about a political party when it has the blood of thousands of people on its hands who have suffered greatly because of this economic crisis.
For well over three years the mainstream media fed us lies about the Memorandums, and now it wants to fight for our democracy? Jesus Christ how hypocritical is that? All the crocodile tears about what happened in Keratsini are just that... crocodile tears. Did they cry when a pregnant mother got burned alive at Marfin bank?
For the love of God, they will never get it. Either will the Left. As for the elite, it is always "business" as usual for them and they live in their own little world.The more they lie, the more they manipulate, the more they exploit situations in the hopes of molding public opinion, the more people will turn to the extreme left, or the extreme right. What will it take to make them understand?
They are so stupid that they purposely ignore and purposely fuel the already explosive situation. It is insane to believe that a legislation can ban a political party, and that this can solve the phenomenon and popularity of Golden Dawn. In Turkey, the pro-Kurdish party was banned at least ten times in modern political history and every single time it manifested under another name and established itself immediately. And every time it did this it gained more and more popularity. This is not going to solve the problem. Attacking only the extreme right will never solve the problem, if they want to resolve the problem then all parties should also attack the actions of the extreme left.
Friends, there is no need to look for culprits among us, the instigators of Tuesday's crime and all the crimes before Tuesday night have/and were well planned. Clearly, the "collaborators" who brought our country to the brink of destruction are trying to once again rise from the ashes and become masters once again, and we have to be very careful where we point the finger.
We do not want to give rise to an extreme left or an extreme right. We are compelled to finally have a balance in this country. Yes a vicious crime was committed, no one and nothing can make us forget this and it must be dealt with. The murderer must be punished but this is not a political crime, it is a crime of a twisted maniac who deserves to go to jail for taking the life of another human being!
We have a chance, as a people to give birth to something beautiful, something meaningful, something that will turn its back on the establishment that literally plundered our country all these years. All we have to do is stay united on this issue, and condemn both sides of the block. If we want to excerise criticism then it will have to apply to both extreme forces, pointing the finger at one side is ignoring reality.
Certainly if the powers that be do not get their way, then expect more "accidents" or "provocations" to follow. Nonetheless we must remain steadfast, and together.
The issue here is not Golden Dawn, but who (or what) really wants to drive Greece into civil war and create a new Arab Spring. Think long and hard. Who would benefit from all this chaos? This is what we should all concentrate on without any political blinders. Is it the Troika? Well it might be. With Greeks battling each other they can easily impose harsher austerity measures on us and plunder our nation to bits and nobody will even notice since we will be to busy throwing punches at each other. Is it other interests? As we we explained throughout this article, it is a little bit of everything. When it comes to energy, and especially oil and natural gas... Expect everything!
Friends, Greece is getting ready to proclaim its EEZ, and there are many interests hovering above our country hoping that we will fail so that they can easily swoop in and grasp a piece of the pie.
Also, there are many geopolitical games being played out right in our neighborhood and countries have been thrown into unprecedented wars (example Syria). Turkey continues to allow its aircraft to commit violations in our airspace everyday, the UN mediator on the FYROM issue is pressing Greece to accept the name "Upper" or "Northern" Macedonia -something of course which Greece has slammed-, the Chams in Albania want to claim land in Greece which does not belong to them and Ankara is redesigning its borders including a part of Greece's Thrace. Oh... and let us not forget about Crete, there are many NGO's working their magic there as well since they want to eventually separate this state from the rest of Greece, and let us not forget that similar NGOs are also working their magic all over the Dodecanese islands -especially on Rhodes-. I am not saying that the world is conspiring against us, I am just saying that we have to begin looking at these issues and turn our backs on stupid political rhetoric.
We cannot have a stable economy if we lose several parts of our country because of our stupidity and because we refuse to be united. After all, the Arab Spring happened in our corner of the world, and with so many "provocateurs" living in Greece it is only logical to fear that this could happen here as well. And I ask... Is this what we want for our country? Use your logic. Our enemies are lurking and rubbing their hands with greed all around us. If we do not allow peace to prevail now, and if we do not come together as a society and allow them to divide us once again as a nation then we can simply kiss this country goodbye.
