The masks are cast off. By means of covert and silent mechanisms that will be officially identified after the overthrow of the usurpers of power, every feature and tactic of a totalitarian junta has become effectively apparent:
1. access to Justice is a function of oneʼs income and party/business networks.
2. Human Rights are recognized as such only across the power echelons and the associated occupational sectors: politicians, the judiciary, police personnel, large-scale entrepreneurs, ship-owners, bankers, high post incumbents, etc. For them, even cases for the prosecution acquire an air of ʽVIPʼ treatment, conferring special treatment and privileges.
3. every Citizen who records and lodges a complaint about the points 1 & 2 above, is persecuted him or herself, castigated, harassed and officially annulled, even if he/she comes from these professional classes, such as, prosecutors, and people in posts associated either with the protection of Human Rights, or provide help in the cleansing of corruption (see for example, Mr Pentagiotis, Mrs Georganta, the judiciary of the first degree court who declared the extra immovable property tax unconstitutional, etc).
4. the Police has become in most of their sectors a paramilitary security battalions who obey to persons and not the Constitution, trumping on it without any problem. They are also invested with duties of a suppression army against the Citizens.
5. silently but decisively the traffic lessens or is obstructed / forbidden after the sunset (trains and underground sub-function in a way that makes service after 5:00 pm hardly possible; the police unofficially demand the break up of all groups attracting attentions after the sunset in the centre of Athens; streets are cordoned off in practice or in effect, etc). On the other hand, the security at places where members of the government live or frequent is at a military level.
6. the Public Utility Services, and the Judicial System, particularly after the flushing out via the waves of mass redundancies and non-stop firings – the overhead hanging axe for every civil servant, have been manned by persons decided to serve blindly and completely the members of the usurping government, and act as yet other security brigade of terrorism and suppression against the Greek Citizens.
7. freedom of speech, together with the actual inaccessibility to true due process, is suppressed and punished with counter-measures which are either immediate persecution or via annulment of legal proceedings (for example, prohibiting access to information, barring access to the protection of the court, refusal to bring relevant cases to trial or even examine them, even in cases where justice must intervene automatically, i.e., cases for impeachment of social rights, illegal resolutions, etc).
8. all Citizens are filed based on reports by the rank and file manning the public utility organizations, and organizations of various public identities, etc., to the ministers, on the basis of party membership and attested resistance or submission to the governmentʼs policy. These lists of citizens are also marketed for profit.
9. remaining in power is secured by rigging the ballot and creative statistics (=alteration of actual results, obstructing representation of particular votes, etc), so as to suppress the real Mandate of the Greek People.
In this way we have the setting up of the barring and channelling off of the Greek People from politics and social life, who is in a daily struggle to secure the temporary and precarious access to basic goods for survival, e.g., food, power, water, telephone, medicine and medical care as well as Freedom (i.e., avoiding incarceration for odious and pretextual debts, something that is forbidden by International Law), and thus being incapable of investing time and energy, let alone money, to concern him/herself with the dynastic members of this government who suddenly reduced him or her to that sad state of affairs.
The Greek People is at this time and place held hostage in being forced to face the problem of survival and spent all its energy on this struggle and reduce his other energies to a level that is innocuous to the criminal activity of the members of the government, while the sum total of Citizensʼ reactions and resistance to this situation including those fought at the legal front or on the streets (even in cases of open violence) are suppressed by the mass media so that the illegal government can claim that they enjoy legitimacy and overall acceptance, in more or less the same way that Hitler during WWII claimed the incredulous claim that Greeks were accepting him because of the Rallis-led security battalions, while the truth was that he butchered the Greek People via mass executions, enforcement of famine and peopleʼs displacement, so that he could claim a precarious and temporary existence in Greece.
What we all come to realize on a daily basis is the basic principle of the art of war: the more we tolerate and retreat, the more the enemy shall take advantage of it and become even more blatant. And as long as the enemy has no reprisals commensurate to its own attacks, the more these attacks will become more cynical, cruel and unacceptable.
Tolerance means further salary and wage cuts until the total disappearance or their maintenance to such low levels that they no longer can secure even basic foodstuffs, which again results in a de facto seizure of payments on the part of the state as far as pensions and salaries are concerned. Cutting down the 582 Euro salary, either nominally and officially, or indirectly via the imposition of additional extra taxes and/or raising of prices and of existent taxes/dues is a fact.
Just stop and think my fellow compatriot: do you have even 100 Euro left in your pocket after paying off everything you owe, and be able to live on that?
Tolerance means impositions of measures of serfdom and the lifting of our natural right to Freedom: work camps have already been discussed for months.
And people still keep asking:
ʽHow can we possibly change all that? How can we enforce the true will of the Greek People?ʼ
The secret lies in the word imposition: when imposing something, you do not ask, you order, and when you are refused to be heard, you make it happen.
It is no longer possible for the Greek Will to be heard. Their will can only be imposed, since we are dealing with a junta and not Democracy, one of the most heinous and relentless, i.e., a junta with a ʽdemocraticʼ veil.
There are three prongs to the method of imposition of measures on the part of the Greek People on the members of the government who suffice all the criteria of a criminal and terrorizing organization:
1. legally-correct recordings of their crimes and motions signed by the persons behind them and official declaration of those encroachers of Human Rights and of Constitutional Rights of the Greek People, as perpetrators of terrorist and criminal acts, aiming at their enforced removal in the most efficient of ways.
2. declaration of a irresolvable situation (impasse) so that Articles 22, 32, 187A of the penal Code and 120Σ of the Constitutions can be activated in combination.
3. making all acts of resistance official and legal coupled with support for all acts of resistance that have been initiated and are being initiated by persecuted and harassed Greeks, that may range from seizure of payment of taxes and dues to physical violence.
For guidance on the practical implementation of the above, please see our next article that contains part B of the present article.
