Heraclion, Crete-Tuesday 4/10/10
In the evening news bulletins of the TV channels ‘TV Creta’ and ‘Kriti TV’ ...
... the initiative of Secondary/University Students-Workers-Unemployed realized an occupation-intervention
... within the scope of the counter-information and propaganda actions for tomorrow's general strike ...
... calling the society to participate in it.
We broadcast a text by displaying directly their speech.
But first I have to inform you that of course TV Creta bears no responsibility for what is going to be heard.
This text was written by a struggling social piece that does not consider itself ...
... as the beginning and the end of this movement.
We witness the end of social benefits.
Anyone who will not pay will not have access to electricity, water, food, heating, health or education.
The regime as a good stock breeder knows when to feed its animals or not.
The fat cow era is over.
Nobody donated us anything, and we shouldn’t donate anything to anyone.
We shouldn’t pay anything; we should take back what they steal from us.
Let's re-connect disconnected electricity and water, and smash booking offices in hospitals.
We’re not animals; they cannot feed us whenever they want or otherwise let us die.
Let’s occupy the tax offices.
Let's organize ourselves in every neighborhood, area or apartment block and defend our civil disobedience...
... create social dispensaries, popular soup kitchens and rural collectivities.
Let's organize our survival.
Like every fairy tale, the tale of national unity includes the ‘good’ and the ‘bad’ ones.
The ‘good’ ones are the Greeks, rich and poor, bosses and slaves altogether ...
... and the ‘bad’ ones are the aliens, the clandestines, the ‘others’ ...
... who take our jobs, fill the hospitals and the schools and steal for food.
The regime divides and rules; the proletarians must fight each other for ragged flags and national ideals.
If we don't realize who actually ruins our lives ...
... if we don't see the real enemy and we won't attack him ...
... we are damned to fight all alone in a huge arena with the bosses clapping their hands.
To assume solidarity, regardless of race, religion and color skins ...
... and attack on the real enemies.
Cops -whether pedestrians or in motor vehicle- auras water, tear gases ...
... prohibition of gatherings, political prisoners consist the new dogma of maintenance of the order.
The wide range of military operations expanded everywhere ...
... along with the politicians, journalists, sold out professional unionist and intellectuals ...
... that have been mobilized for the salvation of the country ...
... reveal that the enemy for the regime is the very society that struggles.
Let's claim our freedom.
Let's create self-defense groups against uniformed or plain clothes pigs and their bosses.
Let's break the tv sets and take the information into our hands.
Let's create nests of resistence everywhere. Let's struggle and fight.
Decades of defensive struggle, misery and whimpering are enough.
The scenery was and continues to be well set-up.
Syndicates intended to defuse anger and political particles that dream of power ...
... have undertaken to define the boundaries within which we should strive.
The dead end of defensive struggles is obvious from the outset.
The regime was taking back all benefits via consumption anyway.
Lately from this cesspool various movements have sprung...
... with the sole aim of defusing and driving people to the polls.
The struggling people and those who wish to struggle ...
... ought to spot and seclude them.
Let's get organized in working places, schools and universities.
Let's break the pledges against the working hierarchy and bureaucracy.
Let's block the economy.
Let's organize enduring general strike.
Let's stop dreaming the decayed past and start building the future.

Everybody in tomorrow’s strike and demo in Eleftherias Square at 10.00
[Slogans:] The revolt is not an image in news bulletins – Consciousnesses are born in the streets
Solidarity is people’s weapon – War against the bosses’ war
