FUCKING BASTARDS OF THE KLEPTOCRATIC REGIMES OF SIERRA LEONE AND GREECE

Reporters Without Borders is alarmed by the way the authorities of Sierra Leone seem bent on hounding  Jonathan Leigh, the managing editor of the Independent Observer, an opposition daily, and Bai Bai Sesay, its editor, over an editorial critical of President Ernest Bai Koroma.

The two journalists have been detained ever since their arrest by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on 18 October, a day after they published the editorial, which was headlined: “Who is molesting who, the President or the VP?”

“We call on the courts to free these two journalists immediately and unconditionally, as they have been held arbitrarily for seven days in appalling conditions,” Reporters Without Borders said.

“We are also amazed by all the different judicial and administrative proceedings in this case. Why was the CID, a police unit that is supposed to investigative major crimes, the first to intervene? And, as well as the civil suit brought by the ruling party on the president’s behalf, why is the Independent Media Commission also trying to get in on the act?

“What is the reason for such determination to persecute two journalists who just did their job by publishing an opinion piece? We call on the government to comply with its international obligations to respect freedom of expression and guarantee press freedom.”

The head of the CID initially said Leigh and Sesay were to be prosecuted under section 33 of the 1965 Public Order Act, which concerns libel. It was later reported that they had been charged with “inciting treason” under article 17 (3)(a) of the constitution. The change to a more serious charge is indicative of the level of political influence over the investigation.

At the same time, the ruling All People’s Congress has brought a libel suit against Leigh and Sesay on President Koroma’s behalf. Immediately after the article’s publication, the President demanded the publication of a retraction and an “unreserved apology” but they were arrested before they had time to respond.

And, finally, the Independent Media Commission (ICM), the government’s media regulatory body, issued a summons to the two journalists on 22 October to appear for questioning.

Moses Kargbo, the secretary-general of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) told Reporters Without Borders that a judge refused to release on bail Leigh and Sesay when they appeared in court yesterday afternoon. Another hearing is scheduled for 29 October. Meanwhile, they are to be held in Freetown’s main prison.

Attempts to intimidate the media are continuing. The Independent Observer’s printer as well as journalists with Global Times and Salone Times have been summoned for questioning by the police.

OCTOBER 18, DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR THE VICTIMS OF KLEPTOCRATIC REGIMES

EU practices double standards in civil rights.  It’s freakish for EU to interfere in the civil rights of foreigners, but condone the abuse of my civil rights, a citizen of EU!  EU should get its own house in order and quit lecturing others.

It’s been now three years since the freakish Greek government stole my life, my computer, and my files.  Nobody cares, nobody gives a damn!  I have done absolutely nothing, and I am being persecuted by the Greek government without any reason.  This is against all rules of civil society and treaties that Greece has signed.

 

 

SHAME ON GREECE!

THE KLEPTOCRATIC ALLIANCE OF PASOK MAFIA AND NEA DEMOCRATIA MAFIA SHOULD NOT PRESIDE EU

THE FREAKISH GOVERNMENT OF GREECE STOLE MY COMPUTER, MY FILES, AND MY LIFE IN COLD BLOOD

 

On October 18, 2010, a gang of six brutal policemen of the violent Greek Cyber Crime Unit (CCU) broke into my home in Athens and stole my computer, software, files, documents, and personal data.

The policechimps locked me in jail for a night, they humiliated me with handcuffs, fingerprints, mug shots, and lies, leaked false information to the media parrots, and the fucking Greek government initiated sham ex-officio court proceedings for a stack of stupid fictitious freakish charges!

There was neither pillow nor toilet facility in my jail cell. I had to urinate in a bottle!  I, a 68 years old with high blood pressure, was not allowed to keep my hypertension pills with me. There was neither toilet paper nor soap in the whole CCU jail.

 

GREECE, A FAILED STATE, THE BLACK SHEEP OF FOURTH REICH, THE PARIAH OF OCCIDENT, ENEMY OF BLOGOSPHERE

 

Ex-officio law suit, autepageltos αυτεπαγγελτος, the most dreadful word in justice, means the state sues somebody without involvement of the accuser.  This terrible scheme has been used by the freakish Greek government to persecute me.  Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs, sued me, and she wouldn’t show up in court, because the state took over her position!

At the ex-officio law suit, the accuser just hits and runs!  This hit-and-run justice is the most disgusting kangaroo justice on Earth.  In all civilized nations, the accused is in a position to face his accuser eyeball to eyeball, but not in Greece, a failed state. The fucking accuser slings false accusations against you, the freakish state takes over, the accuser disappears from the kangaroo court, and the trial is postponed infinite times!  venitis@gmail.com, http://themostsearched.blogspot.com

 

 

 

 

THE FALL OF PASOK STARTED ON OCTOBER 18, 2010

PASOK, TELL US AGAIN HOW YOU WON THE WAR ON OCTOBER 18, 2010!

Pasok, a socialist political mafia, sowed the seeds of future problems by building a bloated public sector based on patronage and political corruption. Myriad sinecures were created in state companies and then given to Pasok members, a system that continued under Nea Democratia.

The notion of meritocracy was pushed aside as senior positions in universities and local councils became party appointees. Public construction licenses were always decided on the basis of political support, with Pasokleptocratslining their pockets through bribes and kickbacks. Political corruption blossomed.  Andreas Papandreou went on trial in 1991 accused of embezzlement. He was narrowly acquitted, thanks to lawyer Venizelos, now president of Pasok.  If it weren’t for Venizelos, Papandreou would have been imprisoned for life.

 

 

The collapse of Pasok has gone hand-in-hand with the decline of the Greece it created. And with it has fallen the once omnipotent Papandreou dynasty, as George senior, Andreas, and George junior were all premiers of Greece. Nepotism has long had a grip on Greek politics.

Pasok is now a party without a heartbeat, a real zombie, now motivated by just an instinct of self-preservation. Pasok tries to survive for just another day. Venizelos has been largely discredited over many scandals. His attempts to claw back respectability has not resonated with hoi polloi who are as mad as hell, and they cannot take it from Pasok anymore.

Pasok is going belly up, overwhelmed by debts of 200 million euros. The debts of Pasok far exceeds the state funding. Parties that receive more votes get more funding. Relying on past good results, Pasok has pledged future state funding as collateral for bank loans. But in the 2012 election, its support collapsed, leaving Pasok with big loans and facing much smaller incomes.

This is all about the exchange of favors. Pasok cannot pay the debt so it's a vicious circle in which Pasok comes to depend on the banks. It creates an interdependence of Pasokleptocrats and banks. At the 2012 election Pasok saw its share of the vote plunge from 43 percent to 12 percent.  Pasok owes ATE 130 million euros. ATE had to be rescued from collapse, taken over by Piraeus Bank.

Greece provides public funding for political parties and their election campaigns. Last year the state handed out a total of 54 million euros. Each year parties receive funding equal to 0.13 percent of annual state revenue. Greece hands out more than three times the amount spent by Germany on political parties. Per valid vote cast, Athens spends an average ten euros versus Germany's three euros.

Greece has all the right conditions for corruption: plenty of bureaucracy, no functioning justice system, laws with numerous loopholes, and economic pressure.  Regarding bribes and robbing the Greek Treasury, Premier Andreas Papandreou, founder of Pasok, famously advised Pasokleptocrats: We all agree, of course, that we are allowed to give ourselves a little present from time to time, but please don't make it too large!

The Papandreou dynasty created a bloated kleptocracy of cronyism that cannot change without the intervention of the Greek army. Georgios Papandreou, George Papandreou's grandfather, founded the family's political dynasty, serving as prime minister. After the 1967-1974 military dictatorship, Georgios' son Andreas Papandreou created the socialist party Pasok. In the 1980s, he gave so much to his cronies and supporters that the country's debt ballooned.

The last four decades have seen the Papadreou dynasty establish a kleptocracy. It squandered 300 billion euros the government didn't actually have and showered kith and kin with sinecures and prosperity that were all based on credit. These kleptocrats bloated Greece's government so that everyone could have a piece of corruption, and created a bureaucratic hydra, which devoured many great institutions, such as the Bank of Crete. The Papandreou brothers who were not ministers of the government were sitting in the boards of directors of the largest Greek corporations milking the country.

Papandreou dynasty's dealings were always more about favors than policies.  Anyone with access to public funds used them to buy friends and voters, who were then beholden to the mafia. The result for Greece has been a feudal kleptocracy, where the generations come and go but Papandreous always remain in politics. The new Pasok cannot survive, because it chose Venizelos, the founder of kleptocratic impunity, as its leader, it continues political corruption as usual, and it shelters most freakish blogbusters.

Pasok is a socialist mafia, a den of thieves, member of the Socialist International, the Party of European Socialists, and the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. Pasokleptocrats span the gamut of political corruption. Bribe is the gift bestowed to influence the recipient's conduct. Kickback is a payment to a person in a position of power or influence for having made an income possible. Embezzlement is outright theft of entrusted funds. Patronage is favoring supporters. Nepotism is favoring kin. Cronyism is favoring kith. Graft is an unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain. 

During Andreas Papandreou's leadership, wages were substantially boosted and income was heavily taxed. At the very beginning, the members and the leadership of the mafia were very critical of NATO and the European Economic Community, but this attitude was soon abandoned when they realized they could make more kickbacks and bribes. Andreas Papandreou and Akis Tsochatzopoulos wished to create a socialistic world where kleptocrats would dominate.

Tsochatzopoulos, a distinguished leader and cofounder of Pasok, served in cabinets between 1981 and 2004.  He was elected to the Greek Parliament for the first time in 1981 and remained in seat until 2007.  He was the second most important person of Pasok, the crown prince of Pasok, but fate was not nice to him, ending up in prison for what all Pasokleptocrats did anyhow, political corruption beyond imagination!  But while the other Pasokleptocrats knew how to cover their ass, Tsochatzopoulos lived like a king, inviting scrutiny and jealousy.

After Andreas Papandreou's death, Costas Simitis defeated Tsochatzopoulos, and he was elected President of Pasok. Simitis moved to modernize the mafia, making it purely social democratic. Tight fiscal policies, privatization of state enterprises, and a broadening of the tax base were implemented. But due to huge political corruption, Pasok was defeated at the polls in the election of 2004. The Nea Democratia policies adopted by the new government, forced Pasok to turn left under the leadership of George Papandreou. Five years later, the Party triumphed in the 2009 elections.

After the 2009 electoral sweep, there were many revelations of huge political corruption. Moreover, the deficit that had run up in the years leading to 2010 was of an enormous unmanageable scope. Greece was faced with imminent bankruptcy, and the government received emergency funds from IMF and ECB. In exchange for further loans, Fourth Reich required austerity policies.

In Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich, trains run completely empty to nowhere!  Many trains bought from Germany do not fit the rails, but they were bought just to generate bribes!   In 2009, investigators of the Munich Prosecution Department uncovered a corruption affair, in which MAN has given huge bribes to Greek politicians to get large orders for overpriced trolleys.  A streetcar named desire!  These trolleys with huge markups are named bribes!  But Greek prosecutors have started investigating this scandal just in September of 2012!  

Pasok’s transformation from its original socialistic principles to kleptocratic principles disenchanted many Party members. The social disruption flowing from revelations of huge political corruption sparked major demonstrations against the government.  In the May 2012 elections that followed, the Party placed third.  Recent polls place Pasok sixth, the last party with only 5% of popular support. It used to be the first party, with 42% of popular support. In next elections, Pasok might get less than 3%, leaving it out of the Greek parliament. For all practical purposes, Pasok is now dead.  History will record it as a den of thieves.

Piggish Pasokleptocrats chose former Defense Minister Akis Tsochatzopoulos of Pasok as a scapegoat  for their sins, because his living style corresponds to the Royal House of Saudi Arabia.  This way, they hope Greeks could cool down and forget about the myriad briberies and scandals of Pasokleptocrats.  Obviously, Pasokleptocrats undervalue the intelligence of Greeks.  Greeks know very well, there is no just a single culprit, but at least four hundred culprits who stole billions of euros, safely deposited in their offshore accounts.

Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos is a hostile social-psychological discrediting routine by which Pasokleptocrats move blame and responsibility away from themselves and towards Tsochatzopoulos. It is also a practice by which angry feelings and feelings of hostility are projected, via accusation, towards Tsochatzopoulos. Tsochatzopoulos feels singly persecuted and receives vilification, blame and criticism, even though four hundred Graecokleptocrats did similar things.  Tsochatzopoulos suffers rejection from Greeks who Pasokleptocrats seek to influence.

In scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos, feelings of guilt, aggression, blame and suffering are transferred away from Pasokleptocrats so as to fulfill an unconscious drive to resolve or avoid such bad feelings. This is done by the displacement of responsibility and blame to Tsochatzopoulos who serves as a target for blame both for Pasokleptocrats and Greeks.

The Pasokleptocrats’ drive to displace and transfer responsibility away from themselves may not be experienced with full consciousness as self-deception is a feature. Tsochatzopoulos experiences exclusion, ostracism, and expulsion. Scapegoating frees Pasokleptocrats from some self-dissatisfaction and provides some narcissistic gratification to them. It enables the self-righteous discharge of aggression.

Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos also can be seen as the Pasokleptocrats’ defense mechanism against unacceptable emotions such as hostility and guilt. Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos is an example of projective identification, with the primitive intent of splitting, separating the good from the bad.  Pasokleptocrats are also insecure people driven to raise their own status by lowering the status of Tsochatzopoulos.  

The odyssey of Lagarde list proves the huge Greek political corruption continues up to this day.  It primarily illustrates how Graecokleptocrats cover their ass. In the autumn of 2010, Christine Lagarde, who was the French finance minister at the time, gave her Greek counterpart George Papaconstantinou a list of 2062 bank accounts with information on Greek customers at the HSBC Bank in Switzerland.  While the French state was using this list to help collect half a billion euros from its own taxdodgers, Papaconstantinou hid the list and deleted the names of his three relatives! 

Adding insult to injury, Papaconstantinou hoodwinks that he does not know what happened to the original version of Lagarde list!   Papaconstantinou was succeeded by Evangelos Venizelos, who is the leader of Pasok, and thus part of the governing coalition. Venizelos served as finance minister for nine months. He is infamous for introducing the impunity of Graecokleptocrats twenty years ago. 

 

Venizelos didn't instruct the Financial Crimes Squad (SDOE) to conduct inquiries, nor did he inform anyone of the existence of this information. Everyone else in the government thought that the list had disappeared. It was only when the current Finance Minister John Stournaras heard about the Lagarde list, and wanted to ask Paris for the original pure version, that Venizelos supposedly remembered the doctored Lagarde list in his drawer! 

Do not forget that HSBC is just one offshore bank out of thousand offshore banks.  Greeks wonder how many billion euros in total are deposited in the offshore accounts of all kith and kin of all Graecokleptocrats, who pretend they are penniless.  Could that be a trillion euros?  We have now a Greek tragicomedy of penniless billionaires!  Graecokleptocrats have just created a new oxymoron, their only contribution to philosophy!
