FASCISM RISING; Greece, Police TORTURE Anti Golden Dawn Racism Protesters, Threaten To Give Home Addresses To NEO NAZIS

The police in Greece are now working in collusion with the Neo Nazi Golden Dawn “Black Shirts” who have been allowed to run freely around the country beating and terrorizing immigrants, who they are blaming for Greece’s economic problems, and who they vow will be forced to out of Greece one way or another, even if that requires terrorizing them to leave.

It’s fascinating that the Nazi Golden Dawn’s attitude toward immigrants has been perfectly echoed by Germany’s Angela Merkel regarding her country’s “immigrant problem”. This is ironic since it’s really Angela Merkel and the fascist European Central Bank (ECB) that have been working to bring Greece into economic bondage.

This is one of the fascist’s main techniques… always find someone else to blame for YOUR crimes. Today it’s the lazy brown immigrant invaders, soon it will be “the Jews”. This is becoming a unified theme in both Europe and the US, and unfortunately within the alternative media’s so called “truth movement”.

The story goes like this… “Communist” Jewish bankers have imposed “Multiculturalism” on their countries to destroy their “Northern European Culture” and to bring them into economic bondage. This is pure fantasy, since it was actually Nazis who envisioned and created the European Union (EU) project, and it is they who have intentionally created the current economic chaos so they can provide their solution… deeper integration. The two convenient scape goats just happen to be the same groups that the Nazis always target… brown people and Jews.

Angela Merkel is currently visiting her new satrap of Greece (ie, South Germany) and she’s likely threatening the puppet government to step up its fascist police enforcement to support her austerity programs… hence the Greek police and Nazi Golden Dawn “Black Shirts” are now working together, beating and intimidating those who dare protest their racist acts, and now torturing those protesters in police custody.

The German Chancellor working with the fascist European Bankers and the Greek Nazis… I’m sure that’s all just a coincidence… forget the facts, just find a way to blame it on “the Jews”.

There’s a stink in the air in Europe and America… it smells familiar… it smells something like Germany in 1933.

Here are the torture stories… emphasis mine:

Fifteen anti-fascist protesters arrested in Athens during a clash with supporters of the
neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn have said they were tortured in the Attica General Police
Directorate (GADA) – the Athens equivalent of Scotland Yard – and subjected to what
their lawyer describes as an Abu Ghraib-style humiliation.

Members of a second group of 25 who were arrested after demonstrating in support of
their fellow anti-fascists the next day said they were beaten and made to strip naked and
bend over in front of officers and other protesters inside the same police station.

Several of the protesters arrested after the first demonstration on Sunday 30 September
told the Guardian they were slapped and hit by a police officer while five or six others
watched, were spat on and “used as ashtrays” because they “stank”, and were kept
awake all night with torches and lasers being shone in their eyes.

Some said they were burned on the arms with a cigarette lighter, and they said police
officers videoed them on their mobile phones and threatened to post the pictures on the
internet and give their home addresses to Golden Dawn, which has a track record of
political violence.

Golden Dawn’s popularity has surged since the June election, when it won 18 seats in
parliament; it recently came third in several opinion polls, behind the conservative New
Democracy and the leftwing party Syriza.

Last month the Guardian reported that victims of crime have been told by police officers
to seek help from Golden Dawn, who then felt obliged to make donations to the group.

One of the two women among them said the officers used crude sexual insults and
pulled her head back by the hair when she tried to avoid being filmed. The protesters
said they were denied drinking water and access to lawyers for 19 hours. “We were so
thirsty we drank water from the toilets,” she said.

One man with a bleeding head wound and a broken arm that he said had been sustained
during his arrest alleged the police continued to beat him in GADA and refused him
medical treatment until the next morning. Another said the police forced his legs apart
and kicked him in the testicles during the arrest.

“They spat on me and said we would die like our grandfathers in the civil war,” he said.

A third said he was hit on the spine with a Taser as he tried to run away; the burn mark
is still visible. “It’s like an electric shock,” he said. “My legs were paralysed for a few
minutes and I fell. They handcuffed me behind my back and started hitting and kicking
me in the ribs and the head. Then they told me to stand up, but I couldn’t, so they pulled
me up by the chain while standing on my shin. They kept kicking and punching me for
five blocks to the patrol car.”

The protesters asked that their names not be published, for fear of reprisals from the
police or Golden Dawn.

A second group of protesters also said they were “tortured” at GADA. “We all had to go
past an officer who made us strip naked in the corridor, bend over and open our back
passage in front of everyone else who was there,” one of them told the Guardian. “He
did whatever he wanted with us – slapped us, hit us, told us not to look at him, not to sit
cross-legged. Other officers who came by did nothing.

“All we could do was look at each other out of the corners of our eyes to give each other
courage. He had us there for more than two hours. He would take phone calls on his
mobile and say, ‘I’m at work and I’m fucking them, I’m fucking them up well‘. In the end
only four of us were charged, with resisting arrest. It was a day out of the past, out of the
colonels’ junta.”

In response to the allegations, Christos Manouras, press spokesman for the Hellenic
police, said: “There was no use of force by police officers against anyone in GADA. The
Greek police examine and investigate in depth every single report regarding the use of
violence by police officers; if there are any responsibilities arising, the police take the
imposed disciplinary action against the officers responsible. There is no doubt that the
Greek police always respect human rights and don’t use violence.”

Sunday’s protest was called after a Tanzanian community centre was vandalised by a
group of 80-100 people in a central Athens neighbourhood near Aghios Panteleimon, a
stronghold of Golden Dawn where there have been many violent attacks on immigrants.

According to protesters, about 150 people rode through the neighbourhood on
motorcycles handing out leaflets. They said the front of the parade encountered two or
three men in black Golden Dawn T-shirts, and a fight broke out. A large number of
police immediately swooped on them from the surrounding streets.

According to Manouras: “During the motorcycle protest there were clashes between
demonstrators and local residents. The police intervened to prevent the situation from
deteriorating and restore public order. There might have been some minor injuries,
during the clashes between residents, protesters and police.”

Marina Daliani, a lawyer for one of the Athens 15, said they had been charged with
“disturbing the peace with covered faces” (because they were wearing motorcycle
helmets), and with grievous bodily harm against two people. But, she said, no evidence
of such harm had so far been submitted. They have now been released on bail of €3,000
(£2,400) each.

According to Charis Ladis, a lawyer for another of the protesters, the sustained
mistreatment of Greeks in police custody has been rare until this year: “This case shows
that a page has been turned. Until now there was an assumption that someone who was
arrested, even violently, would be safe in custody. But these young people have all said
they lived through an interminable dark night.

Dimitris Katsaris, a lawyer for four of the protesters, said his clients had suffered Abu
Ghraib-style humiliation, referring to the detention centre where Iraqi detainees were
tortured by US soldiers during the Iraq war. “This is not just a case of police brutality of
the kind you hear about now and then in every European country. This is happening
daily. We have the pictures, we have the evidence of what happens to people getting
arrested protesting against the rise of the neo-Nazi party in Greece. This is the new face
of the police, with the collaboration of the justice system.”

One of the arrested protesters, a quiet man in his 30s standing by himself, said:
“Journalists here don’t report these things. You have to tell them what’s happening here,
in this country that suffered so much from Nazism. No one will pay attention unless you
report these things abroad.“
