On June 29, 2011, the regime of Greek prime minister George Papandreou decided to take another huge step in the direction of unhinging Greek democracy and violently suppressing the people of Greece, who are rising against outside-imposed austerity that guarantees the death of what’s left of Greece’s economy.
Greece is already beaten into a pulp by the EU/IMF “bailout packages” that have literally sucked the breath of life out of her body.
Papandreou’s compliant collaboration with those who are dealing this country a death blow reminiscent of World War II has triggered mass popular unrest that simply won’t go away.
So, on June 29, 2011, the Greek regime, isolated, delegitimized, and fearful of collapsing under popular rage, decided it had had enough of the thousands of peaceful demonstrators, filling the square in front of parliament for weeks on end to denounce the entire political system as well as the regime’s own honest efforts at economic genocide through foreign-ordained austerity.
The order then went out to the riot squads to clear Constitution square of all demonstrating vermin Middle East style.
The outrage that followed has been graphically described in scores of stark eyewitness reports -- one of which you can find here -- and has stunned an expiring nation reeling under the effects of a shambolic race by European “leaders” to buy more time for European banks that are trying to unload as much of their Greek junk bonds as possible before Greece’s inevitable implosion occurs.
On orders from the euphemistically named “Citizen’s Protection” ministry, riot squads, helmeted and appropriately armored, baton charged the thousands of peaceful demonstrators in what turned instantly into an orgy of violence, even by established Greek standards. Orders from above called for an extreme display of physical brutality that included stomping on people, running them down with police motorcycles, and delivering full-power blows to the head with batons; they also allowed for uncontrolled deployment of chemical agents in the midst of one of the most densely populated cities in Europe.
