a 77 year old retired pharmacist shot himself today in front of the greek parliament.

he left this note:



Tsolakoglou's occupation government essentially annihilated my ability for survival, which was based on a decent pension that I ALONE (without state funding) paid for 35 years.

Due to my age leaving no capacity for dynamic reaction as an individual (without excluding being the second in the row, if one Greek grabbed a Kalashnikov), I can't find another solution other than a decent end, before starting to search in the trash for my nutrition.

I believe that young people without a future, one day will take the guns and hung the traitors upside down in Syntagma (note: Constitution) Square, as the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945.



georgios tsolakoglou was the leader of the collaborator greek government during world war 2, and he directly compares that with the ECB occupation government of papademos.

athens is erupting again as a result...



"this was a murder, not a suicide"

Yeah in Austin right? Everyone was dismissing him as a loonie tea-partier or something but i'm a bit of a loss to explain how he was any less of a martyr than this guy, apart from the fact that Syntagma is a bit more romantic than a texas office block.

lol observe international news services as they desperately attempt to erase all traces of anti-german, anti-eu, pro-violent insurrection parts of that suicide note.

like this is on bbc:
"The government has annihilated all traces for my survival, which was based on a very dignified pension that I alone paid for 35 years with no help from the state."

"And since my advanced age does not allow me a way of dynamically reacting... I see no other solution than this dignified end to my life, so I don't find myself fishing through garbage cans for my sustenance."

and thats it. the rest aren't even mentioned.

"The Tsolakoglou government has annihilated all traces for my survival, which was based on a very dignified pension that I alone paid for 35 years with no help from the state. And since my advanced age does not allow me a way of dynamically reacting (although if a fellow Greek were to grab a Kalashnikov, I would be right behind him), I see no other solution than this dignified end to my life, so I don’t find myself fishing through garbage cans for my sustenance. I believe that young people with no future, will one day take up arms and hang the traitors of this country at Syntagma square, just like the Italians did to Mussolini in 1945" ~ the suicide note of Dimitris Christoulas.

The Bad People do not care.

The man had lived up to his part of the bargain with the Greek Government, the social compact.

Yes, he has only himself to blame for signing on to a compact that is arithmetically doomed to fail. But I suspect, having read his note, that he entered into the agreement with his Government in Good Faith.

He did his part and others ran away with what he'd been promised.

So, he ate a bullet to preserve his dignity.

You and I, Patriot, were born into an America that understands the folly of Socialism. We have been able to see it at arms length, rather than being born fully into it.

Yet our own hucksters, politicians and Banksters want us to take the same deal.

F that.

If I ever eat a bullet, it'll be the last one in the mag and I'll be taking the trip to Hell with at least a few of the bastards.

Do not let them do to America what they have done to Greece.

Do not let them do to you and yours what they did to Dimitris Christoulas.

You have been warned.

Here's the link to the story with the suicide note.

Here's the link to CA's place, where I found it.

Restore the Constitution. This ain't no fucking game.

Now, I'm pissed all over again.



"Restore the American constitution! Death to socialism!" -- Bloodstained patriot Dimitris Christoulas

"Yes, he has only himself to blame, but"

jesus, where is this assumed god-devil of cruelty people speak in fear of. "Yes, sure, we must all be judged by the light of the one who musnt be named (CBUM) and his prophets of doom (TINA) - now i've shown i have taken the oath & accepted this premise let me say this..."

You have to drip the neck blood of the unwilling on the floor before speaking, to be taken seriously or something. There's some weird superstitious shit
