After the end of the valorised strike of Public Power Company (DEI), there are a number (actually pre-announced) conclusions that we must return to in an open and calm manner on the one hand, and on the other, review the facts that further support the scene of what we are actually faced with, as described in our show ʽBefore the Greek Peopleʼ, of July 3rd, 2014.
The simple conclusions visible to all as regards the irrevocably-demoted to our conscience, so-called ʽunionistsʼ (in reality just fanatical supporters of the government cronies) are the following:
1. they comprise the least-covered -and now most obvious- government supporters, who, after a career of rich remunerations and extra ʽperksʼ in occupying posts created many decades ago by real Fighters who shed their blood and lost life and limb in the defence of Human Rights in the labour market (with ʽpostsʼ we refer to the institutionalisation of workersʼ unionism that was established during the beginning of the 20th century following bloody fights), have now become a breeding place manning governmental posts.
2. the whole celebrated start of the DEI strike was orchestrated in smooth cooperation with the government and the judiciary so that they could show to the Citizens that they still possess ʽthe momentumʼ of an otherwise crumbling dictatorial campaign.
3. the concern with DEIʼs strike was part of the effort to associate the just, legal and moral stance of the Greek People against privatisation of DEI, along with its corrupted, avaricious, already despised due to their appalling and misanthropic attitudes, unionists of DEI. (Their antisocial, misanthropic and anti-humanitarian behaviour became a clear and repeated fact by a great part of the Greek People who have to do without power due to the hyper-taxation and the corrupt DEI administration and management). When this effort came to naught, the strike was summarily ended along with the governmentʼs last attempt to gain something out of it (it also failed miserably).
4. at the same time, and behind all the fanfare of the DEI unionists and the government cronies alike about DEI and particularly about DEIʼs strike (and not about the liquidation of DEI itself, a subject that the government cronies would rather avoid discussion of), there are other criminal actions by the government that lead to the mass extinction of the middle and lower social strata in Greece, such as the social insurance issue, the imposition of new and the continuation of older taxes, the selling out of national property, the preparation for the liquidation of the private property of the Greeks at a mass scale, and the collapse, or a systematic preparation for the collapse, of every diplomatic relations with the still standing allies of Greece, as shown by the incident caused by Venizelos in Cyprus.
Regardless of how effusively the government cronies miss no chance to declare their satisfaction to the events with DEI, the fact remains that they miserably failed to pass their message that they are a robust, democratic government enjoying the support of the overwhelming majority of the People, a government that shows concern for the needs and the rights of the People. This becomes all the more ridiculous in the attempts of Sophia Vultepsi appearing on several television channels and parroting that message, without even a thought that her lies cannot be tolerated even by her cooperating journalists.
The only thing they achieved was to succeed in putting the unionists under their employ at every DEKO union under the same infamous category where the enemies of the Greek People, that is, the deserters, the hypocrites-collaborators, the well-fed governmental cronies, and the corrupt members of the judiciary along the rest of the scum, reside, and who, as they themselves admit, will have the anathema and the eternal wrath of the Greek society.
In fact, to put it mildly, they achieved nothing but a glorious hole in the water and in fact managed to sever more of their fingers they had on society, as represented by the unionists. So, they lost even more and self-defeated themselves to the point that their own DAKE (!) reached the point of separating themselves from the government by subjecting it to strong criticism.
And the pathetic governmental campaign marches on to yet another debacle since they are about to be cut off from their traditional allies, in the Communist Party (KKE) and the Allied Left Forces (SYRIZA): the issue of the referendum achieves a double target:
(a) the government do not wish to let the Greek People speak because they know only too well that what they are doing is totally against the Peopleʼs true wish but they will once more risk to let it be widely known that they enjoy no wide acceptance.
(b) the KKE (regardless of whether their stance in vitro is correct, an issue pending analysis that will not be attempted in the present article) in their in vivo stance, that is, a stance that is fuelled by the everyday political developments, is actually boycotting the opposition and thus the chance for the Greek People to be heard, in fact offering a much needed helping hand to the crumbling government. Because if KKE were a true and sincere ally of the People and wished to cause a serious social change for the benefit of the People and not for the benefit of the masters of this government, they would first uphold the first Referendum aiming at putting a stop to the current attempt to liquidate DEI and then, they would demand as a precondition for their support, SYRIZAʼs commitment to a series of referenda for the rest of the issues at hand, i.e., DEI, EU, the Memorandum. But they do not wish to go down that road because since the Varkiza Agreement, they are ʽthe Leftʼ only in name, as are the rest of the self-christened ʽleftistsʼ, ʽsocialistsʼ, and ʽcenteristsʼ.
(c) SYRIZA is already being undermined by its own hypocritical stance by seemingly supporting the Referendum knowing only too well that no such thing will ever take place and threaten their own interests, while, if they really wanted to topple the government or stop the sell-out of DEI, they should have made other moves, like involving the President of the Democracy calling him to repeal the law or resign and thus cause elections.
(d) the Referendum represents the Damocleian Sword over the heads of all the cronies in and out of
government, and so no one wants it. The only reason it is still being discussed is because the People are pressing for Direct Democracy and a restriction to their political depravity.
If SYRIZA fervently wished for the Referendum to take place, they would have already embarked in an all-out campaign for it, even extending it out of Greece, to force the government to agree to it and would not permit KKE to play its typical apostasy act, forcing it to espouse the Referendum platform suggested by all the parties of the opposition, thus taking away its ʽexcuseʼ to say ʽnoʼ to it under any pretext.
So, on the basis of all the above, what must we, as the Greek People, the individuals still subject to the results of the governmental experimentations?
1. we realise that the government cronies everywhere act in unison as a single group who serve exclusively their own personal illegal interests because theirs is not a simple ʽjobʼ but a service to the Sovereign People, that is, us. We keep putting pressure, as we have repeatedly stressed during our shows, for Referenda everywhere. If the Referendum that SYRIZA proposes does not eventually happen, we should brand this failure as a show of totalitarianism and objection of the government to the will of the Greek People, and a sorry failure on the part of SYRIZA and collaboration by the whole opposition (including the KKE).
2. we officially stop believing in and bypass ALL UNIONISTS AND ACTIVATE OURSELVES FOR THE SAKE OF OURSELVES WITHOUT A LEADER BUT BEARING A COMMON AIM AND TARGET, THAT OF UPHOLDING DEMOCRACY BY MEANS OF REFERENDA FOR ALL ISSUES OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE, SO AS TO ACHIEVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE WILL OF THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE, REGARDLESS OF THE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY ESPOUSED BY EACH ONE OF US PRIVATELY.
We Greeks need no leader or animal husband or potential dynast. We only need coordination and a common target so that the Will of the Greek People would be heard: to enforce en masse Referenda for all the laws passed, at least during the crisis, so far.
(and for all those who will step up to argue that no referendum can repeal a law already passed but only a law plan, the simple answer to that is that a Referendum may precede or come after a law plan aiming to annul any law. If the argument of the ʽconstitutional law specialistsʼ of the worst kind, those that have sold their soul and wipe the asses of the government cronies, those who rushed to defend criminal acts committed by the government arguing that they will not be repealed by a negative Referendum outcome, then there would be no reason to have held the Referendum right after the fall of the junta, not to mention all the other legal precedents that literally destroy their argument at its base…)
