SYNOPSIS
“LABORATORY GREECE” is a journey through Greece’s past and recent history: from the Second World War to the process of European integration, to the current economic and financial crisis.
It’s a historical documentary, a look into many stories: the everyday life in the epicentre of the neoliberalist policies implemented.
Fascism, the occupation of yesterday, and the Resistance: Greece is a country that owes its liberation to its people.
The Cold War, the military dictatorship and today’s Troika: hope, anger, despair, pain and catharsis of a nation that is resigned yet combative, compliant yet revolutionary, indifferent yet generous and supportive.
“Laboratory Greece” is a journey shared with intellectuals, politicians and common people. Analyses and reports from the Greek laboratory.
Chronicles of our future: a course through the generations in order to abandon the eternal present and create a future of a human dimension.
“LABORATORY GREECE” is an entirely self-financed project, soon to be screened in cinemas. It will be available on the web, free of charge, at a later date.

Greece: Self-Determination, Freedom, and Hope Under Assault
A GREEK COURT has proscribed the nationalist party Golden Dawn as a ‘criminal organisation’. Six years ago Golden Dawn won more than half a million votes — 9.4% — and three MEPs in the European Parliamentary elections, but now it’s leader and founder Nikos Michaloliakos has been convicted of heading a criminal organisation, a felony that carries a maximum prison sentence of ten years.
According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Greek Jews celebrated the court’s verdict and seem to think that ‘holocaust denial’ by Mr Michaloliakos and some other leading members of the party is akin to terrorism.
Golden Dawn’s electoral breakthrough was in 2012 when it gained 21 MPs in the Greek Parliament. After years of relentless pressure both from prosecutors and from ‘antifascist’ violence — including several bomb attacks on party offices and the murder of two Golden Dawn activists in November 2013, shot dead by leftwing terrorists near party offices in northern Athens — the last eighteen MPs were defeated in 2019.
However in the 2019 European elections last summer Golden Dawn still polled 4.9% and elected two MEPs. The now-banned party also still has many elected local councillors.
It remains unclear whether Greek ‘democracy’ can survive this assault by the courts.

Greece: Jewish Groups Demand Controls on Speech
* The Jews want to silence the locals from protesting their plan to invade and plummage the nations. They cause the problem then when the locals fight back, the Jews label the locals terrorists! Lock up the Jews!! Kick them out of all nations! Send them to Africa!
ADL and other Jews dictate that even questioning the motives of Jews is grounds for removal from parliament; member of Independent Greeks Party had said Jews were pushing legislation that would help Israeli businesses at Greek expense
THE ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE (ADL) today condemned remarks made in the Greek Parliament, which accused Greek and American Jews of exacerbating the country’s financial crisis.
In remarks made on October 14, Dimitris Giannakopoulos, representing the Greek pharmaceutical industry, and MP Nikos Nikolopoulos of the right-wing Independent Greeks party, accused Sabby Mionis — an ADL board member, activist against anti-Semitism, and prominent Greek-Israeli businessman — of promoting legislation that would lead to layoffs in the Greek pharmaceutical sector and benefit Israeli pharmaceutical companies. The same accusation was leveled against the head of the American Jewish Committee.
“We join the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece in condemning these remarks, which allude to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that Jews benefit at the expense of others,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “We know from our repeated polling in Greece that anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are believed by wide swaths of the Greek public. When asked whether Jews have too much power in the business world, nine out of ten Greeks agreed.”
Mr. Greenblatt added, “Anti-Semitic statements in parliament and by Greek members of parliament must always be repudiated by Greek leaders if any progress is to be made against the prevalence of anti-Semitic attitudes in Greek society. Sabby Mionis was similarly targeted two years ago without any official reaction. Last month, we appreciated Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s prompt removal from his government of a junior minister for anti-Semitic statements, but such acts should be the norm and not the exception.”
