Golden Dawn neo-nazis: The militia arm of the systemic establishment!

New evidence of the connection between the neoliberal leading party and Golden Dawn in Greece

A provincial branch of the neonazi Golden Dawn party was bankrolled by a wealthy businessman who was a member of New Democracy and it enjoyed immunity from the police, a Golden Dawn defector has told a leading US human rights organisation. The unidentified man told Human Rights First that the businessman gave financial backing to Golden Dawn because he wanted it to do well in the 2012 elections so that New Democracy could end its uneasy coalition with socialist Pasok and team up with Golden Dawn instead.

'Golden Dawn is the militia arm of New Democracy,' the businessman told the defector, who will be a witness in the forthcoming criminal case against leading Golden Dawn figures, which is due to start in November. He said the businessman also spent more than $1,500 (€1,100) on military outfits for its cadres. The businessman also paid for their offices and gave them advice, including 'Don’t go and attack migrants in the middle of the day.'”

The defector also told Human Rights First that his Golden Dawn unit enjoyed immunity from the police. 'The police had specific orders not to touch us,' he said, adding that when four Golden Dawn members attacked two Pakistani migrants and beat them 'really, really badly', he received a phone call from the local police chief who had ties to the local Golden Dawn boss and told him the case would not be investigated. 'Once they realised they could operate with impunity, they turned to intimidation for profit, evicting recalcitrant tenants and collecting debts,' the report continues.”

His testimony is included in a major report (pdf), published on August 14 by Human Rights First, that details the rise and the threat posed by the “hate parties” of Golden Dawn in Greece and Jobbik in Hungary.”

Despite threats against him, the defector intends to testify that Golden Dawn was a 'criminal organization,' as the government charges. But he added that the government allowed Golden Dawn to grow for its own gain, and only decided to take legal action only when the organisation became too powerful.*

*Within less than a month, all settled as they wanted. They knew Golden Dawn, they expected such a murder. As long as GD was murdering immigrants and doing the "dirty work", was quite useful. Just after this political assassination of a Greek citizen, the "local representatives" found the excuse to cut the unacceptably high rates of GD and restore them to a more "manageable" level of about 7%.

Meanwhile, there is an increased activity of neo-nazis lately through assaults against migrants and organizations in Athens.

A 28-year old man from Iran was stabbed 12 times in Alexandras street - Athens by men with shaved heads, wearing black t-shirts, according to his statement.

"Three men of age 28-30 on a motorcycle approached me and asked me where I am from. I understood the question because the police stops me every day and asks the same thing. I said 'from Iran'. Then, two of them came to me and punched me. The other man was waiting on the motorcycle. One of them was sitting on my stomach and the other one was hitting me. One of them was tall and strong. Then, they started to stab me. They hit me hard and when I realized that they will kill me, I put my hands on my neck and my face. The one on the motorcycle was saying 'let's go, let's go'. It lasted about one minute. They were not thieves. They didn't take my money or my cell phone."

I tried very hard to reach a guard of the hospital Agios Savvas. I lost too much blood and I was very dizzy. After that, the police came and took my statement, then an ambulance came to take me to the Elpis hospital.”

Ashkan Najafi is 28 years old and lives in Greece for one and a half years. He described his desperate situation. He has a wife and kid in Iran, but he was forced to leave because his life was in danger:

I came here because I thought that there is democracy in Europe and human rights are respected, that I would have a more peaceful life. Now, every time the dark falls I'm scared. My situation is worse now here, how can I bring my family, how can I go back? I don't know what to do. If you were in my place what would you do? I left my country because my life was in danger, I came here and they stabbed me because I'm a migrant. Where should I go now? Where should I go to seek for asylum?”


Early this month, another migrant from Pakistan has been attacked by five men wearing black clothes putting his life in serious danger. They were beating him for 10 minutes with brass knuckles and left him in blood.


Last Friday, a team of Golden Dawn supporters attacked against the Open School for Migrants in Pireaus. The neo-nazis have caused damage to the school, wrote slogans on walls, and reportedly stole a computer from the school premises.

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

Το σκάσιμο της φούσκας Μητσοτάκη με νέα επίσημη χρεοκοπία και οριστικό τέλος της μεταπολίτευσης

του system failure   Τα αποτελέσματα των εκλογών της 25ης Ιουνίου ήταν λίγο-πολύ αναμενόμενα όσον αφορά τις πρώτες θέσεις με βάση και τα αποτελέσματα της πρώτης κάλπης του Μαίου. Αν συμπεριλάβουμε και το ποσοστό της αναμενόμενης αποχής, δεν μας έδωσαν κάποια ιδιαίτερη έκπληξη. Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής. Μιλώντας με ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους, ουσιαστικά έχασε με σκορ 3-1.   Ο μεγάλος στόχος πο

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried
