Calls for peace and solidarity met with violence? Oh, stink!
"Signs of protest hung at Greek Acropolis; Youths call for European support" by Elena Becatoros, Associated Press | December 18, 2008
ATHENS - Protesters hung giant banners off the Acropolis yesterday calling for mass demonstrations across Europe, heaping embarrassment on a government reeling from Greece's worst riots in decades sparked by the police shooting of a teenager.
You know, when the MSM repeats a lie over and over and over and over again, what are we to think? See European Tyranny and start reading
Two pink banners were unfurled over the walls of the ancient citadel that towers above central Athens and could be seen from miles away. One bore the word "Resistance" in large black letters in Greek, English, Spanish, and German. The other called for demonstrations throughout the continent today, when students plan major marches in Athens and Greece's second-largest city, Thessaloniki, to protest the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos, killed in a police shooting on Dec. 6.
That's the SECOND TIME they emphasized that LIE -- in case you didn't get it the first time, Amurkn shit-eaters!
The government was furious at the use of Greece's most famous monument. "There can be no justification for this action," spokesman Evangelos Antonaros said. "This hurts the image of our country abroad. . . . It is unacceptable."
Although sparked by the youth's death, the riots were fed by dissatisfaction with the increasingly unpopular conservative government and widespread anger over social inequality and economic hardship.
Yeah, NOW WE GET the TRUTH!!! They didn't ALL GO BALLISTIC because of ONE KID'S MURDER!!!!!!!! GLADIO's operators used it as an EXCUSE to ACTIVATE!!!!
The violence spread quickly across the country with masked and hooded youths fighting with riot police night after night. The violence left hundreds of shops and bank branches smashed, burned, and looted, and dozens of cars torched. Retailers say the damage will cost them $2 billion in lost income.
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis has rejected opposition calls for early elections, saying the country needs a steady hand to deal with the international financial crisis.
And now for the "lawlesssness," right? And CUI BONO?
There has been concern that the unrest could spill over Greece's borders, with shows of support in several European countries, including Spain, France, and Germany. German police say a solidarity protest is planned for today in Berlin and is expected to be attended by about 500 people.
After more than a week of violence, Greece's mainly young protesters have begun changing tactics to attention-grabbing stunts. MSM lets you know where it stands there.
Yup, the PEACE and JUSTICE PROTESTS are STUNTS!!!
But GAYS, GLOBAL FART-MISTERS and IMMIGRANT PROTESTS are not STUNTS, have you noticed that, readers?
The banners were displayed the day after a group of youths forced their way into Greece's state television studios, disrupting a news broadcast of a speech by Karamanlis. The youths appeared live on national television behind black banners that read: "Stop watching, get out onto the streets" and "Free everyone who has been arrested." In Thessaloniki, protesters broke into three local radio stations, agreeing to leave only after a protest message was read on the air.
More than 300 people have been arrested since the riots started, and the main courthouse in Athens has been the scene of tense confrontations between riot police and angry students demanding the release of those detained during the unrest.Gee, haven't heard much about the ARRESTS and IMPRISONMENT (with torture?). Thanks, MSM!
--more--"
And just after the brave Greeks called for European unity against the rapacious globalists, voila!
"Greece rattled by new clashes; Shoppers panic as violence erupts" by Elena Becatoros and Derek Gatopoulos, Associated Press | December 19, 2008
ATHENS - Masked youths set up burning barricades and threw firebombs and chunks of marble at riot police yesterday, after a protest march erupted into new fighting that sent Christmas shoppers and panicked parents fleeing to safety.
Yup, give the PROTESTERS a BAD NAME, why doncha? And CUI BONO?
Mothers snatched children from a carousel in the main square. Waiters stumbled from cafes choking on tear gas fired by police at rioters trying to burn the capital's Christmas tree, replaced just days ago after another tree was torched.
After two weeks of unrelenting rioting set off by the fatal police shooting of a teenager, a slogan spray-painted outside the Bank of Greece summed up the mood as Greeks prepared for Christmas: "Merry crisis and a happy new fear."
But protesters' call for Europe-wide demonstrations of support - urged in banners defiantly unfurled from the ancient Acropolis on Wednesday - met with no apparent response.
Really, MSM? 'Greek Syndrome' is catching as youth take to streets
Must you LIE about EVERYTHING?
Yesterday's clashes broke out in front of Parliament at Syntagma Square during a demonstration against police brutality. The Dec. 6 death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos unleashed rage that has fed off widespread dissatisfaction with economic hardship, social inequality and the unpopular conservative government's policies.
They just keep REPEATING and REPEATING the SAME DAMN LIES!!!!
About 200 youths wearing masks put up burning barricades in the streets of the Kolonaki district, throwing gasoline bombs and hammering chunks of marble and concrete off buildings to hurl. Police answered with volleys of tear gas and stun grenades.
As the fighting escalated, parents hurried their children away from the carousel in Syntagma Square. Riot police formed a line at the replacement Christmas tree and fired tear gas to drive off youths trying to set it ablaze. Businessmen and shoppers ran for cover on Voukourestiou Street, while motorscooter and motorcycle drivers on a nearby road screeched to a halt, blinded by the tear gas.
You know, and WHO is given a BAD NAME from the VIOLENCE that the agenda-pushing, obfuscating, selective AmeriKan MSM is focused? CUI BONO?
As if I needed any further confirmation than agent provocateur stink:
"Youths attack Athens French Institute
ATHENS - Masked youths attacked the French Institute with firebombs yesterday, one of the sporadic acts of violence that still hit the capital almost daily since the police killing of a teenager nearly two weeks ago sparked the worst riots Greece has seen in decades.
That's the excuse Gladio is using to foment the violence; we all know the peaceful citizens are protesting the lying looters of government and economics. If not, must it take violence to get the globalist pukes to listen?
The rage unleashed by the Dec. 6 shooting has lifted the lid on years of dissatisfaction over social inequality, poor employment prospects for young people and increasing anger with the conservative government's economic policies.
They keep writing it the same way; anyone else have a problem with the truth being told in such a disingenuous, under-handed way?
Late yesterday, about 50 protesters interrupted the official premiere of the Greek National Theater, holding up banners urging people to join in demonstrations. The youths threw pamphlets before running off.
Those are the GOOD KIDS!
In western Athens, masked youths damaged three cash machines and two bank fronts with stones and sticks. By yesterday morning, downtown was calm, with crowds of Christmas shoppers out.
Those are the BAD ONES! And CUI BONO, 'eh?
"Rioting over death of youth continues
ATHENS - Masked rioters set fire yesterday evening to the offices of a credit data company in Athens, continuing protests that have raged across Greece for two weeks. Riots first broke out after a 15-year-old demonstrator was shot and killed by a police officer Dec. 6 (AP)."
You have enough of that regurgitated lie yet, folks?
The killing of a kid is NOT responsible for ALL THIS!!
Come on!
