Wednesday, July 28, 2010 a man called the Greek newspaper ‘Ta Nea’ and told the journalist where the communique
had been left. The full text is published in that newspaper. Here is our translation.

Announcement no 4.
The Sect of Revolutionaries arms itself again. In today’s world the most
violent thing is to remain passive. All our lives are overwhelmed by
violence. And when it’s not the violence of the cops, the detention
centres, the prisons, then things are even more treacherous. We are
talking about violence without blood. The violence of the image,
advertising, the consumerist high, the psychological dead end and
loneliness. We live in squalid cities, eat plastic food, we inform
ourselves with prefabricated news, buy brand products, we work in
disgusting jobs, admire phony standards, we create small private
cells inside our homes with cheerful furniture.
We are tired of
this empty life. We said enough is enough … no more lost days …
no more humiliation at work … no more borrowed prayers for
goodnight …
So a year and a half ago we formed the Sect of
Revolutionaries, which became the vehicle for our escape from the
fucking calm of the world-prison we live in. Two or three guns to
start with, some books and some delinquent knowledge from experiences
of the past, combined with several “kilos” of determination
and the confidence of a conscience that said: either human or pig,
either fighter or enslaved, either revolution or compromise with
resignation.
And so we began.
When you live in an unending
struggle it makes you sharpen your skills and your thoughts, while at
the same time you get the pleasure of having opposed the fate that
was reserved for you.
But we wanted something more …
We
wanted make the leap to storming the heavens. After our third hit, we
put to ourselves the question of stepping up our action, which
entailed a number of necessary requirements. So we went into creative
obscurity in order to re-emerge more capable, more effective, more
dangerous. During this time many of us trained in weapons, learned
new techniques, read, informed ourselves of struggle situations
unknown until now, we exchanged experiences and viewpoints with other
fighters and refuelled in the logistics sector.
At the same time
the rest of our fighters did not remain inactive. They created a
network of essential information, collected evidence,
took care
of our conscious inactivity and offered their services to the cause
of the Revolution and the dignity of themselves.
So from now on we
want to be terribly consistent in what we say and to pass on a
message to all the main faces of society and their gorillas. “The
Revolutionary Sect will not leave one millimetre of safe ground in
your life.
Our guns are full and ready to “speak”
… If the arguments make sweat flow, the evidence will make blood
shed …».
We are not merely talking about armed
propaganda, but are putting it into practice. Our recent attack did
not rely on propagandistic reasons, but the decision to terminate the
miserable career of this guy.
Armed struggle does not apologize
and does not invoke the hypocrisy of humanitarianism and the ideal of
human life.
The revolution is war to build an autonomous
existential code away from the hypocrisy of modern-day life.
Human
life is a variable, a commodity in the world of entertainment that is
sometimes torn to pieces by being exiled into the dungeons of
prisons, in lonely dead-ends, in substance dependencies, and is
sometimes defended as the “ideal” that was lost by the guns
of terrorists.
But it is not just important that you live but also
how you live. The real value is in the choices made by each
individual in their life.
That’s where we are all judged.
Socrates Giolias made his choices and we made ours. He chose to live
like a rodent in the kingdom of mud of his kind and we as wolves
outside the herd.
Let’s see who the “unaware” and
“unguarded” Socrates Giolias really was.
From early on
deeply involved in the tricks of the journalistic plague, he served
for several years under the master of supposedly independent
“revelatory” journalism Makis Triantafyllopoulos as a
friend, collaborator and editor of his shows.
At the same time he
was a “member” of the new school of Greek championism. A
championism that had specialized in the illegal trade of dopaine
(Best friend of Christos Tzekos that knows a lot about “powders”
[*1] ) in doped records (best man with athlete Kostas Kenteris,
offering media coverage in the famous “accident” he had
with the other sport-junkie Katerina Thanou [*2]) and of course the
dealing of official positions – recuperating the whole known
championship clique either into the security forces, or the
political arena (buddies with the athlete-MP Kostas Koukodimos,
the failed candidate Voula Patoulidou and others [*3]). Of course
anyone can imagine the scams of all of those with a valuable partner
like Socrates Giolias in the company called SEGAS that the above were
all distinguished personalities of. Especially when the air was full
of the “national vision” of the 2004 Olympic Games, a feast
was set up in the Athletics Federation with “golden”
sponsorships and government grants and secret financial deals under
the table with contractors and construction companies.
But the
“unaware” Socrates Giolias was a pluralist. He was a known
religious bigot in some circles and was a permanent visitor-member of
another well-known company. He was a trusted associate of the Othonic
state clergy, while at the same time the man of the cloth, the weasel
Ephraim, was his spiritual advisor. This is why when the known
scandal about the slimy priests in Vatopedi broke out,[*4] Giolias
always stood in front as a shield to support their little shop.
The
guy was literally with the cross in his hand.
Beyond all that,
the main reason for our visit to his home was his dominant position
in the electronic form of new journalism. With the rapid spread of
internet and an ever-increasing preference of young people in
particular to inform themselves from it, it was not long before its
exploitation by the known lowlife journalists began. Apart from the
official news sites that are usually already known electronic
newspapers, the first informative blogs were created. The immediacy
of the information they offered was the key feature that turned them
into popular websites. This greater freedom of expression has been
used by people living under totalitarian regimes as an attempt to
heist the censorship imposed by the government. In contrast to these
people, the same anonymity was exploited by systematic journalists
such as Giolias, Papagiannis etc. as a means of extortion and
slandering to support the specific business interests that finance
them.
Our action has nothing to do with our opposition to the
anonymity of blogs since on the contrary we propose it and we
consider it necessary as a shield to protect enemies of the regime
and as a healthy condition of genuinely alternative, self-organised
means of information. The only sure thing is that Giolias was not
among the enemies of the regime, but was the boss behind the
anonymous blog “troktiko”(rodent) exercising his propaganda for
the system.
Giolias, former associate of the “fighter”
Makis Triantafylopoulos and worthy partner of the
Kostopoulos–Anastasiadis “school” of journalism [known
journalistic figures](removing guilt from the modern lifestyle
motivated by economic success and modern Greek Macho-ness) had what
was needed. On one side the journalism of “social sensitivity”,
“revelations” and “complaints” and on the other a
macho service, a cocktail of audacity, lifestyle with an opinion,
modern neo-conservatism, a hidden (or obvious) fascism, supposedly
satire, not just against authority, but especially against those who
have no voice to reply to the mud he threw at them.
The most
hideous insults and slanderous lies about urban guerilla warfare
entered the first line of the “troktiko” blog publications. Even
his brother Pericles, as director of “Prince Oliver”, responded
defiantly, ironically paraphrasing the slogans of the uprising in
December as an act of arson that targeted his company. The same
boss of “troktiko” had set himself as judge and awarded penalties
to those arrested, through his blog.
After the divorce from his
mentor Makis Triantafyllopoulos, Giolias now independent and in the
most powerful position in the journalistic blogo-sphere becomes
special adviser to Dimitris Kontominas, who is included in the
financial mafia of Greece, known by his involvement in the
“interamerican” [*5] scandal. He also recently worked as general
manager of radio station THEMA that belongs to the big-bellied scum
Themos Anastasiadis. The list of dirty stories of this journalism
clan and the internal battles of the “big” journalists and
publishers, exemplified by the trio Anastasiadis-Giolias-Kontominas
and the brotherhood Hadjinikolaou-Triantafyllopoulos-Kouris, could
fill several pages.
The journalistic world is a bucket full of
shit and with our action we just simply made it a bit lighter.
Of
course the boss of “troktiko” as a professional snitch knew the
consequences and the “accidents” that could befall him.
Socrates Giolias was so “unaware” that he made sure of confirming
himself as a target. Especially after the bomb in Patissia and the
death of an Afghan boy, he himself, and the bastards he had for
colleagues used the camouflage of supposedly anonymous reader
comments on “troktiko” to openly threaten anyone opposed to the
sewer of lies that they systematically unleashed. Specifically after
publishing exclusive photos of the slain child, a privilege thanks to
the loyal cooperation of Giolias with the “anti-terrorists”, a
‘reader’ of “troktiko” wrote in concerning the rage that was
gathering against the face of the “unaware” – so, what should
Giolias and every Giolias do. Carry a gun and shoot at anyone moving
suspiciously to protect his life? –
But let’s not exaggerate.
Giolias did not need to shoot to protect himself. It would be
taken care of by the two police security escorts that had been
allocated to him and used alternately until the pig’s death on
Katehaki Street. (meaning the death of the military man by the letter
bomb sent to the offices of the minister of citizens protection.)
Specifically, the “unguarded” Giolias, the journalist
who denounced the protection of public figures saying that the police
should be combative in the street and not escorting potential targets
like ‘Filipino sevants’, had his own armed gorillas.
Fucking
wankers of the “anti-terrorist” let’s see if you can dispute the
following evidence …
From Monday to Friday the boss of
“troktiko” used for his daily transport a Smart car with
numberplate IHP 5121 (which was changed in recent weeks for another
Smart with plate numbers IMP 3142), always accompanied by motorbike
secret police. More specifically Giolias set off daily from his home
in Daedalus Street 21 between 12.10-12.25 always to arrive late for
his radio show. 20 minutes before that, a bike approached his house
and parked in the hidden corner of Nymphs and Daedalus Street with a
security escort, who followed the Smart at a 5 to 10 metre distance
when it set off. Giolias had two servants-gorillas who usually
alternated every other week. The first guy was young (25-30 years
old) with a fitness look, usually gazing into space while playing
with his cell phone camera and silver-black TDM bike, while the
second was more experienced, a grey-haired 40 year-old, his favorite
habit was to read his newspaper on his bike and to walk around like
he had watermelons under his armpits, whilst he also used the same
type of off road Transalp motorbike, plate number XXK 389. We stress
that Giolias, to avoid being stigmatized in the neighbourhood by the
fact that he had escorts, obliged them to park in the hidden corner
so they were not seen, not to seem inconsistent with what he wrote.
Things changed when the fool died in Katehaki Street. Obviously
the new instructions and powers given to security escorts to regulate
their position and the route of the proposed target, enabled the
gorillas to change position. So for the last period of time the first
bike arrived and parked just opposite the apartment building of
“troktiko”, checking out everyone that passed by, while a few
minutes before Giolias set off the second bike arrived. Giolias took
a few minutes to wish them good morning and then they all started
together like nice “companions.” Usually the first was the
TDM checking the route at a distance of 5 to 10 metres, in the middle
was Giolias with the Smart and last was the 40-year-old with the
Transalp.
Our original thought was to hit them all together.
Using a heavy vehicle we would ram the first bike by running over the
gorilla and another firepower force would “mow” down the
other two. More targets, more efficiency. We knew their exact route
and Ethnarchou Makariou Street which they took after Daedalus Street
with the flowerbeds was convenient for the “crash” and
cornering them. Soon however, we rejected this scenario because this
particular road, which was ideal for such a trap, has a moderate to
dense flow of vehicles, passers by and two traffic flows, so there
was a danger to other people and we never pursued it. Because the
fact that we are sharply critical of social decadence is one thing,
the process of targeting is another. Our targets are always clear and
our gun’s target specific, heads, this is why we would not risk
hitting the wrong man. So we’d rather go to his home than let
something happen in a gunfight in the street and hit someone
irrelevant. What exactly was said through the intercom to ensure not
only that he would come down, but would come alone without being
accompanied by his wife, is something that does not need not be made
public for several reasons. But here, we would like to add that the
famous tv persona Yiannis Marakakis, lawyer of Giolias, who goes on
the tv-“windows” [a regular feature on Greek tv, the screen is
divided into multiple ‘windows’ allowing vociferous remote
discussions among ‘experts’ on ‘topical subjects’] to book a job,
should not bust our balls about the Sect ‘as a front for a contract
killing’, because we will carve his face up, as our bullets are worth
more than such idiots. Returning, we would like to note that we also ejected the possibility of breaking into his block of flats and
executing Giolias in his apartment. Our main concern was for not the
slightest thing to go wrong with his wife and of course the young
child.
Everyone gets the end they deserve and these people have
done nothing to us. Furthermore, the practice of political execution
is very clear and specific. There will never be any danger from our
attacks for any family members or family environment of a target that
does not have any involvement in their dirty options and interests,
even if this obliges us to cancel our plans. An urban guerrilla is
not a cold murderer. When he chooses to shoot, he does not hit the
face itself, but the choices of the specific person, the position he
holds, the decisions he has taken, the interests he serves. It’s not
a personal thing. The armed fighter fights the operators of the
system who no longer have their own separate face, but a particular
job they are defending. The armed fighter does not shoot people, he
shoots against the system itself.
Giolias was one of the many
names of big time journalists we collected information about their
homes, their vehicles, their security, their favorite hangouts,
restaurants, even where they play tennis (you get the hint
Hadji-wanker from Alter channel ?).
All those judges who have
microphones and make speeches in front of tv cameras, judging and
sentencing, will know what it means for fear to pass over into their
own side. At this point we would also like to advise all witnesses
that the answer to any question, should be one alone: “I don’t
know, I didn’t see, I didn’t hear … ” – whatever else will be
seen as cooperation with the police and this is not acceptable.
Finally we would like to recall that in our third announcement we
wrote that “The supreme planning and duty of an urban guerrilla is
to disrupt the interior of his country, hurt the national economy,
damage the public external image …».
Greece for months
now is in the eye of the cyclone by turning to the IMF and the
financial deficit. One of the most lucrative sources of money inflow
is the summer tourism season. The execution of the journalist in
conjunction with the guerrilla actions of the last year
we
believe creates a negative image abroad for the safety of Greek
territory and hits the national tourism industry. Tourists need to
know that Greece is no longer safe ground behind the lines of
capitalism. We seek to become a war zone with revolutionary processes
with arsons, sabotage, militant marches, bombings, armed executions,
not a vacation destination. We are at war with your democracy. As for
the financial crisis and the whining of society about the bleak
future, we do not give a damn. We don’t care about a world that
protests the new unbearable economic measures without first having
rebelled against the cheapness of the meaning of life inside the
system; it deserves its fate.
We did not borrow anything from
your world to feel that we are losing or owe something.
If what
is at stake in the consciousness of people now is the loss of a fixed
salary and a secure pension, that shows that this world has already
died. Because first it lost its hopes, its dignity, its selfishness,
its dreams, its conscience, its feelings, and then no one really
cared. But when its borrowed prayers for the miserable delusion of
property are threatened and it rebels, then its days are numbered.
Because they have been weighed up and found meaningless.
We in
the Sect of Revolutionaries believe that only through the complete
destruction of the state and the current structures will a new
perspective of life be able to dawn. A life of new human
relationships, without authority, without borders, without religion
without divisions. A life that money does not govern neither will
property rule. A life away from false idols, compulsions and
conventions.
We are promoting a new civilization with values such
as equality, dignity, honour, mutual respect, solidarity, liberation.
Man can and must create a new way of life and expression. Harmonize
with the natural environment, overflow with emotions, abandon himself
to
pleasures, be the creator of his own world … Human
communication must be liberated from phone lines and flat screens,
human gestures should regain their warmth and be relieved from
formalities and repeatability, life should become an adventurous
wandering and free itself from the bureaucratic version. Of course
all this sounds utopian, if you invest all your action on a future
vision and ignore the present.
The answer is given by the mirror
itself…
So, don’t ask how things will change. Be yourself the
answer to your question. We recommend the total annihilation and
destruction of authority relations and dominant civilization. Only
through the rubble and ruins of modern urban centres will a new way
of life flourish. The rebel groups are but a small prefiguration of
such a future. But as we said in a previous text, even if this future
does not come, we will have tasted it, living our own unorthodox way
in today. And this adventure, the journey towards liberation is worth
every moment …
Hence our proposal is now clear. To the people
who want to actively refuse the tyranny of the system, go from words
to action.
Comrades, organize, create groups, collectivise your
wishes, arm yourselves, read, communicate, deny roles and
leaderships, abolish slavery and go into the strategy of armed
struggle.
Today’s urban guerillas must overcome the legacy of the
socialist proletariat and proclaim as a revolutionary subject they
themselves, their comrades and all those who actively deny the coup
of power in our lives, giving a substantial advantage to life and not
economic analysis. In procedures that promote armed struggle we win
moments of liberated time, as only those allow the recovery of lost
dignity and pave the way for inner freedom.
Thus anyone can
rewrite his individual identity in social life and become an armed
warrior of the revolution.
“Enough is enough. Winter fills
us with sadness, we spring pollutes us and summer suffocates us. For
a long time now our nostrils are choking on the stench from the
offices, reactors, factories and highways. Our muzzles no longer
taste good, it is like a sausage
wrapped in plastic cable. The
beer we drink is stale, like bourgeois morality. We do not want to do
the same job and wear the same expression throughout our lives. They
have given us enough orders, they have controlled our thoughts,
ideas, home and our passports enough, they have smashed our faces
enough. We will not let them mold us, oppress us, crush us. – WE
WILL SMASH THEIR FACES –
…until the beach of tun nichts (I do
nothing …) (call of German autonomists)
Y.G.1. Because we know
that an angry pig stinks more than usual, we would like to say a few
words to the wankers of the DIAS group. “You little pricks
because you pretend to be macho, at some point we will open new
buttonholes in one of your suits. And bear in mind, we have a little
“problem” … We are terribly consistent in what we say
…». Indeed, indicative of our intention is where we chose to
leave our announcement, at a distance of 30 metres straight shot from
the guard post and the front of Nikaia police station.
P.S.2 To
all prison officials, directors, prosecutors, prison officers and
social workers we warn you that if you do not immediately change your
attitude towards suffering tortured imprisoned people you will join
the priority list to become an example to the others.
Especially
for some of you, we even know what time you take your pills. Cut the
shit you’re doing with ban on leave days and cutting visiting rights
to prisoners, respect and do not violate their rights because
otherwise at an unsuspected moment you will receive a
visit from
fighters of the Sect of Revolutionaries with a final transfer to the
other world.
Fighters of the Revolution, the enemy has a name,
search for addresses …

STRUGGLE FOR REVOLUTIONARY AUTONOMY

Track and field officials targeted Greek athletes during the 2004
Olympics for surprise testing of a previously undetectable steroid
after learning they had connections to Balco Laboratories, owner of
which is Christos Tzekos a coach and main figure in the sports
industry. An e-mail included in the evidence that U.S. authorities
made public when announcing the indictments implicated the Greeks,
although the names of the coaches and athletes were not revealed.
[*2]
Greek sprinters Konstantinos Kenteris and Ekaterini
Thanou were billed as the great hopes of the Athens Olympics after
their respective gold and silver medals in Sydney four years earlier.
But on the eve of the 2004 Olympics the duo became embroiled in the
one of the biggest scandals to date after missing drugs tests.
Dumb-founded upon hearing the news in the media, Kenteris and Thanou
staged a motorcycle accident to provide the authorities
with an
excuse for missing the test. On August 18, the sixth day of the
Games, the pair withdrew from the Olympics, claiming they were acting
in ‘the interests of their country.’
That was their third
violation of the summer and they were subsequently suspended by the
IAAF in December 2004. In June the following year however, the Greek
Athletics Federation cleared them of all charges, with their coach
Christos Tzekos taking the blame with a four-year ban. After a
long-standing legal battle, which was about to reach the Court of
Arbitration for Sport, they were reinstated by the IAAF in December
2006.
[*3]
Many athletes pursued a career in politics.
[*4]
The scandal is that some of Vatopedi’s monks deviously
mishandled the real estate holdings of the monastery. As is well
known, the Orthodox Church is the largest single landowner in Greece,
and the Athonite monasteries are especially well endowed. Vatopedi
Monastery has traditionally held great estates all over Greece. Over
the past decade, however, it has managed to swap some of these
locations for other land – in high-value places like Athens – and
then resell these acquisitions, making a tidy profit in the
process.
[*5]
The former president of the Interamerican
insurance company, Dimitris Kontominas, as well as the firm’s board
members, were questioned by a magistrate in connection with the
embezzlement of funds between 1996 and 1998. The case came to light
following complaints from Greeks living in Germany, South Africa,
Belgium and the Netherlands that they had taken out insurance with
Interamerican but their policies were later declared worthless.
