This blog started off three days after Alexis’ assassination, as a minimum attempt to publicise information straight out of Greece on the riots (which quickly turned in a full-scale revolt!). Around seventy posts and more than one thousand comments later, we are closing a (first) round. One of the main contributors to this blog is [...]
International mainstream media report this morning that the planned US shipment of ammunition from Greece to Israel has been canceled. The reason for this is still a bit unclear: While the international media claim the decision was made by the Pentagon in light of the proximity of the Israeli port of Ashdod (the shipment’s destination) [...]
First statement coming out of the newly-occupied building of the (reformist) Union of Journalists in Athens (ESIEA). In a similar manner to the earlier occupation of the general confederation of workers’ bulding, people have now occupied the Journalists’ union to denounce mainstream media lies.

In Thessaloniki demonstrators attacked the police station of Ano Poli; the cops responded by throwing tear gas. [...]
Once again in the last few weeks, we are standing before an unprecedented situation here in greece. The (suspicious, to say the least) injuring of a riot police cop has been followed by a frantic state and media attempt to shift the mood against the police and the state following the assassination of Alexandros. What [...]
Rough translation of a posting on Athens indymedia, the day after a riot cop was shot in Eksarhia, Athens. The text below is important as it seems to reflect a sentiment shared with the majority of the people in the anarchist, and the wider antagonist social movement in the country: The greek state seems to [...]
