BARE KNUCKLE CAPITALISM.


         Western governments have now disposed of the thin smoke of the illusion of democracy, as they power through legislation that decimates the living standards of the ordinary people, in order to stuff the banks with money, (liquidity). They proceed with ideological measures that never appeared in any election manifesto, if they had appeared in writing, they would never have been voted into power.
       With one fell swoop, the Greek government has banned ALL public gatherings, in Athens and Athens Airport, on Tuesday, the day of Angela Merkel's visit. At least they realise the anger of the people. They have also made "preemptive" arrests, never mind, "innocent until proved guilty" and all that.
  

Greek police bans all gatherings and protests during Angela Merkel’s visit to Athens

       In an unprecedented move, greek police has just announced a ban of all gatherings and protests in the wider centre of Athens plus the city’s airport and the main thoroughfares to it. According to the decision, the only areas excluded are Omonoia and Syntagma square. The ban will run from 9am to 10pm on Tuesday, 9th of October.
At the same time, police announced that will carry out preemptive detains today.

18 members of Public Electricity Company’s workers union were arrested for occupying the centre of informatics of the company

     Last night 18 members of the Public Company of Electricity  workers union were arrested. The union members occupied the informatics centre of the company in order to protest to the plans to privatize the company. But they also wanted to gain information about very big businesses with close political tights which were not charged the special property tax that was enforced to the citizens, leading to poor people having their home’s power supply cut off. A couple of hours after the occupation, riot police raided the building and arrested them all.
I call it corporate fascism, dressed up as bare knuckle capitalism.
