An
excellent article that sheds a lot of light on a dark period in European
history.
Athens
1944: Britain’s dirty secret
When
28 civilians were killed in Athens, it wasn’t the Nazis who were to blame, it
was the British. Ed Vulliamy and Helena Smith reveal how Churchill’s shameful
decision to turn on the partisans who had fought on our side in the war sowed
the seeds for the rise of the far right in Greece today

SOME
COMMENTS:
Great
article, which strips away the self-serving, empty rhetoric about democracy and
freedom and reveals the cold, murderous cruelty of the British imperial state.
Homo
homini lupus ... man is wolf to his fellow man ... only the expression is
wrong. A wolf will never commit the ever-ongoing atrocities of man against man.
A wolf has honor, man has none
The
evil that Britain has done in the world is equal to any other. The British
Empire was as racist and destructive as the Nazi Reich. Churchill was as power
hungry and bloodthirsty as Stalin or Mao. Only English hypocrisy and chauvinism
leads them to believe that they are Gods gift to mankind and carry the
"white man's burden", an ideology fully exported to the United States
which now carries out its imperialist ambitions.
But there is something peculiar about the British ruling
class, in that it is constantly lecturing to the rest of the world about
its own historic and unbending commitment to principles such as freedom,
tolerance, democracy etc.
It does enjoy portraying itself as a beacon of these virtues in
a world of violence, aggression and intolerance. It is of course bollocks
and should be exposed as such
What a fascinating story. The incorporation of
Nazi collaborators into the machinery of government goes a long way towards
explaining the perpetual instability that has plagued Greece for decades.
These
are the sort of things that get swept under the carpet of history. Perhaps it's
time for a bit of spring cleaning.
Great Article, from the Guardian about the autrocity that
Chruchill commited in Greece. For all those people that are debating the
Stalinist threat there is a very clear answer that relates to Chuchill’s
fascist mentality. What Churchill practically did (and while the main British
forces in Greece were reluctant to do so in the beginning) was to empower all
the Nazi Greek collaborators and of course the country's rich to maintain the
power. No one really knows why the Greek communist party cooperated with
Churchill’s plan. I am pretty sure though that Churchill could have found a
solution and while keeping the commies in but keep them away from Stalin. But
what he chose to do is to keep the fascist breed in Greece in power. And of
course this is the main plague in the country since then. The same rich
families that supported the Reich are the same rich families that operate in
the country now. There is a quite simplistic but very informative documentary
about this called fascism.inc created by a Greek independed filmmaker. You can
find it on youtube with English subtitles. Well worth watching.
