Greek Protesters And Riot Police Clash, Molotov Cocktails Thrown - Live Feed

Update: Things have deteriorated with protesters throwing petrol bombs at police. 

  • GREEK PROTESTERS THROW PETROL BOMBS AT POLICE IN ANTI-AUSTERITY PROTEST CLOSE TO PARLIAMENT, POLICE RESPOND WITH TEAR GAS

(Live feed)

 

 

Ahead of today's perhaps most critical vote in recent Greek history, one which may cede the nation's sovereignty and control of its banks to European bureaucrats and the ECB, demonstrators are again starting to congregate on Syntagma square where anti-austerity protesters are commingling with civil servants and pharmacists who previously called a 24 hour strike.

 

 

While the Athens riot police is quietly preparing for the worst:

For now the situation is peaceful, although once the public understands that the government has passed the "deal" the sense of calm may promptly disappear.

Little known fact:

AFTER WW2 ended, the great Churchill put Nazi snipers on rooftops in Greece to gun down protesters.

Ain’t our western leaders great or what?

 

BTW.. when in the Admiralty in GREAT Britain during WW1 the GREAT honorable, venerable legend Churchill engineered the loading of the Lusitania with explosives and in reality, through “intelligence” guided that ship into U-boat territory in order to give Wilson an excuse to put the US into WW1.

Ain’t our western leaders great or what?

Edit:  Some A-hole/s obviously can't handle the truth.

Edit 2: maybe some folks just don't like their false meme disturbed because it puts them out of their comfort zone.

Gosh, thank you but now I’m feeling like I have some kind of responsibility to share what I know..

OK.. well.. the Germans actually published warnings to folks like.. please don’t  get on ships in that vicinity.... don’t go there, don’t do that.. this is where we sink stuff..   perfect for the psychopath leader Churchill.

BTW the US .gov is replete with little Churchills

so too the U.K.  .gov

and of course so too the DE  .gov

Churchill was a "great man" in the same way that Hitler was:  talented, ruthless, got a lot of people killed, and knew exactly what he was doing the whole time.

Kicking off WWI was the work of no one man or country, but Winston Churchill as a UK cabinet member (Lord of the Admiralty) played a major role in intiating the bloodbath that was the 20th Century.

If Greek Govt. falls, the complacency trade could bite quite a few mega funds in the ass. At this stage, seeing they badly need to limit defections to 40, it's very possible Syrza abdicates or emergency measures are inacted either at the vote, or on the implementation in October.

Nothing cooks Government forces like a good flamethrower.

 

The police demonstrated that they are all too willing to burn people to death when they burned Chris Dorner alive in Southern Cal.

 

That is how they intend to kill many of us.  Fire works wonders and is an extremely painful way to go. The US Government seems to have a fetish for burning people alive.

 

Perhaps they need to be subjected to that which they have planned for the masses?

 

The Greeks have learned that it is best to turn the tables as they are tossing Molotovs.

Tom,

I find it fascinating you mention this. A few days ago Mr calls me at work and tells me about all the interesting things one can do with flamethrowers and how many different fuels can be used in them. He noted that they were easily attained. I listened intently and was tempted to ask what was the train of thought that led to this but I came to the conclusion he probably didn't want to divulge the tone of his day.

You just can't hang up the phone today and tell your work colleagues you've been discussing the merits of flamethrowers with your husband.

Miffed, been watching silently from ground zero and avoiding comment. But I had to sign in to say that the objective of the riot police was to clear syntagma square, and with the help of the provocateurs (not protesters), mission accomplished. What we are witnessing is theatre of the macabre. The chaos of Molotov cocktails and property destruction will accomplish nothing for the people and only give more impetus for TPTB to impose complete martial law. Cue Golden Dawn. Cheers from the toilet seat of democracy.

Peaceful protest only works when the organization being protested against is open to compormise. Germany the ECB, and the Greek Government are clearly not or this would have been resolved long ago.

 

If Greeks want to keep their sovereignty they will have to inflict some pain on the government, and signs and peaceful protest won't cut it.  Ooh, and Greeks will need to face reality, you can have the Euro or your sovereignty, but not both.

I was not arguing for peaceful protest or otherwise. No protest, whatever the form, affords a solution. So you manage to hang a few useful idiots in parliament as some here argue. But what next? Where does that get us? The masters have thought of those chess moves many plays ahead of you. Power must be regained by each individual realizing an awakening and foregoing the carrots hung in front of their face. Violence has been tried and tried again. It is after all encouraged by the psychopaths that rule. That is the milieu in which they thrive. We need to start thinking outside the box, as it were. What I lean towards is a form of organized disengagement from the systems that enslave us. Of course this does not come without a heavy price. It is doable if only a small percentage of the population is willing to make the sacrifice. Then the facade begins to crumble by its own momentum. I doubt though, looking at the engineered state of mind of the masses, that it will ever come to pass. Just some food for thought. Cheers.

Drachma,

Most of us here, including myself, are armchair commentators. We are hopefully watching as concerned observers, learning from this so when it befalls us, we are better prepared, not as people in the Roman Colosseum whose entertainment was the spilling of blood. Thank you for pointing out the motivations.

Please understand I have utmost sympathies as just an average person with limited power. I truly empathize and wish I could help. Though I have never seen active warfare, I have seen the results of explosions and serious trauma. And this was in a modern medical facility and the number of casualties was small and manageable. I can imagine where your situation could lead. It is humbling.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during these terrifying times. All of us now must face the possibility of reaping, put our petty differences aside and stand in solidarity.

In friendship,

Miffed

Thank you for the kind words Miffed. I must disclose though that, although I have many an interest in the fate of Greece, financially and otherwise, I do have an escape route from the eventual conflagration that in my opinion will ensue here. The same cannot be said for many of my extended family and friends who are trapped without an exit. It is quite clear from where I stand as a dual citizen that Greece and the Greek ethos has been scheduled for extermination.

I think, as you have said, the key word is solidarity. In the final hour, the Greeks have been known to put up a good fight in defence of individual freedoms, and if, as I have stated here before, we can find the will to think a little outside of the box, we can perhaps rise above the manufactured divisions that keep us in a perpetual state of conflict and spiritual poverty. Cheers to you and yours.

There is no such thing as secure unless you define it on a very short timeline. The wealthy in ancient Pompeii and Herculaneum were very secure and leading the good life. That was destroyed in a couple of hours by Vesuvius in 79 AD.

'unarmed' ? Hmmmm . . .

think about that for a moment.

All I know is I wouldn't want be be one of those dumb, blind bankster order followers facing a crowd of a thousand angry and determined people brought to the point of no longer giving a f*ck. Even if I had an M-16 and those thousand had 'nothing' but sticks, rocks, and Molotovs - no thanks!

Its not about weapons, its about Intelligence and Will.

I might get quite a few of them, but they would soon be on top of me and ripping me to shreds. And they would soon have my M-16. - Only an extremely stupid muther would stay with that job.

The horrible thing is that people get hurt who shouldnt. And non-compliance and refusing to beg for your God (not man) given rights, - is far more powerful and effective.

But what always ends up happening is that those divided and conquered people become impossible to govern. The victors lose anyway, each and every time. Their strategy makes it easier to GET the power, but impossible to hold it for long.

Who ends up running Greece is a crapshoot. Depends on who says the right thing at the right time. The ones fomenting this chaos now have LESS control over the outcome than they did before.

Honestly why even be a police officer in a country like that. What could you possibly convince yourself of in that situation. The only "law" you would be upholding results in the destruction of your own country. What pitiful excuse for human beings.

 Do not overlook.

The cops personally benefit from their position.

They can, for example benefit by extortion and corruption.

They may also enjoy psychologically beating and bullying others,

as well as enjoy the social satisfaction of belonging to a gang.

 

And yes, the elites, for their own protection, will marginally reward police over the "scumbag plebs".

Same mentality found in blind order followers around the world and through out history - at heart, little boys who never grew up. Ex jocks, or jock wannabes who can't stand the thought of working at Walmart or another such boring job.

They'll do what the 'Daddy' figure tells them, without a thought or a clue. Don't know, and don't wanna know - that might be inconvenient. The surface, 'patriotic' and 'security' b.s., is explanation enough for them. Anything for a paycheck and a promised pension. And a lot of them love to lord their so-called 'authority' over those lower in the pecking order (all those civilians they supposedly 'protect').

Do a websearch on what Mark Passio says about blind order followers, the ones who physically create the tyranny - whether they intend to do so, or not.

My guess is that many who find themselves living on the street suffer from some of the same principles and delusions as these Greeks.

Those seeking charity will at least appear humble and contrite, if no appreciative. Those demanding entitlements are more inclined to be less humble and contrite, for as we have been told, our circumstances are not our own. Either we are "lucky" beneficiaries of an unjust system, or we are the victims of it. We neither deserve its rewards nor punishments, wherein the great redistribution comes in to set thing RIGHT! Tyranny is a demand???

Creditors have a right to make their demands, borrowers have a right to say no thanks. The stipulations of the creditors look to be untenable. Oxi.
