Let us see how the weak may beat the strong when the weak has no other weapon than the systematic propaganda at the level of brain washing: the only way in which the weak may avoid their total debacle in battle is to dissuade the strong not to do battle against them. The only way to avoid defeat is to avoid direct confrontation and fight against, and with the concession of, his adversary.
The Greek People are particularly strong at several levels and have won battles at critical points, such as their generalized disobedience, the resistance by legal means, the establishment of a general discontent for the traitors, the proof of the ballot rigging in the recent general elections precluding the People from toppling governments by means of the electoral process, and in fact at every level and every sector which would have been enough to put the situation to rights if we were dealing with a simple democratic confrontation, at a level where the fundamental democratic principles function.
But this is not about a democratic confrontation but a manipulation by a dictatorship that reveals itself in every way and manner, including military suppression, indeed reminiscent of a older-type dictatorship with apparent links to foreign centres and active influences just as 19th century England, Bavaria, France and Russia used to control Greek foreign politics, being completely cut-off from the Greek Popular Will.
This type of confrontation can only be faced ONLY by means of classic violence, armed, violence, violent resistance, violence, in other words, that is not supposed to exist in Democracies. For this reason we can see the extreme policing nowadays in full blast so that it can restrict, and scare the Greek Citizens, with snipers on the roofs, and now with the presence of army units in the cities, against the Greek Citizen for the protection of whom and on whose behalf this army is supposed to act, serve and protect against invaders and not help establish unwanted dictators, of the most hateful sort in the Greek History to date.
Dictators therefore use classic violence already and drop their democratic mask all the more only to gain time in their illegally snatched political power.
The problem is that if the People respond in like manner, i.e., resorting to classic violence too, it is mathematically certain that the dictators will be cut to pieces along with all those attempting to protect them: no army could stand against a tsunami of enraged and lightly armed mass of people.
So, on the part of the dictators, the thing to avoid at all costs is precisely the possibility of the People taking to the streets being resolute and decided to enforce, even by means of violence, their own will and the return of Democracy, where violence is needless.
So, how do the dictators attempt to achieve this?
With a scare.
It is well known that the Greek not only avoids but also abhors the possibility to raise his hand against a fellow Greek, the phantom of the Civil War created by the ancestors of the present dictators with a little help from their friends, the English and the rest of our so-called allies, still haunting the Greeks and under no circumstances will they ever want to see a repeat of this.
Whomever one therefore might ask amongst the People, the response would be ʽno civil strifeʼ at all costs. The Greeks are even willing to suffer self-banishment and exile just to avoid shedding Greek blood.
Thus, the government propagandists and parrots are crying out loud that the time of the civil strife is nigh or at hand, with the most recent ʽdiscoveryʼ by the defunct parliament, the Golden Dawn who have replaced Karatzaferis in announcing officially (of course… with the totally unrelated timing of this announcement made just before October 28 and all the precautions against risks the dictators take during that day), that there is a civil strife already begun, because, the ʽdiscoveryʼ goes, there are fascist pigs amongst the riot police, as if the riot police personnel were ever democratically-minded. Based on that, the Golden Dawn acts with SYRIZA in the same little ludicrous charade, at the same time having the back of the traitorous tripartite parties in government and their offshoots, since by means of this charade they attract attention to the fake scare of the civil strife and succeed in numbing the People who have risen and resist in any way possible since 2010, having unanimity and not hatred or fragmentation as the propaganda would have them, accosted by all unionists who are hell-bent on blocking the setup of a common demonstration fronted only by the Greek Flag and not any of their degenerated banners already associated in the minds of the people with union corruption. Those union leaders know only too well that if they ever dared do something like that, the earth and not only Syntagma would give out of the sheer weight of the mass of people. And then, how do you pull them back?
If there was really any chance at fomenting a civil strife, this would have already been caused by the dictators themselves, since there is nothing that would serve their plans more, and they therefore would not attempt to scare the People with this eventuality. This as well as every other scare of theirs is hollow and another empty threat. A provocation fabricated by them is of course dangerous, because it will cause a shock and awe (let us all remember the dictatorsʼ provocation with the murder of four people in Marfin Bank), but also because such provocation would have materialized the scare of civil strife and therefore give cause for action and reaction.
If the people take to streets armed and ready to do battle, decided not to return home unless the dictators fall, will there be blood?
Yes, but it will be a confrontation shedding the blood of the traitors, those who have no problem watching the blood of the Greeks who take their own lives or whose children faint of hunger at schools, life in which will be unbearable once the cold sets in.
Is this civil strife? Are all those who permit, provoke or enforce those suicides, death and deterioration to the point of death, Greeks? No they are not.
This confrontation is not called civil strife. It is called Revolution.
