Thanks Pash! Well done in Amsterdam today! That Paok goal was a joy to watch.

(Red text my own words) Perhaps it is you that is grossly misinformed in this instance. The Free Breakfast for School Children Program was a community service program run by the Black Panther Party as an early manifestation of the social mission envisioned by founders Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale along with their founding of the Oakland Community School, which provided high-level education to 150 children from impoverished urban neighborhoods. Inspired by contemporary research about the essential role of breakfast for optimal schooling, the Panthers would cook and serve food to the poor inner city youth of the area. Initiated in January 1969 at St. Augustine's Church in Oakland, California, the program became so popular that by the end of the year, the Panthers set up kitchens in cities across the US, feeding over 10,000 children every day before they went to school. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Breakfast_for_Children Certainly some Panthers had drug problems, just like many other people did and do. But as a party they were anti drugs and anti drug dealing. They would sometimes rob drug dealers and destroy the drugs publicly, rather than turn the contraband over to law enforcement, because corrupt cops would sell the drugs back to the dealers. The Panthers did not have anything against white people, they were against racists. If you want to talk about police assassinations, just look at the murder of 21 year old Chicago Black Panther community leader Fred Hampton. Fred Hampton (August 30, 1948 ? December 4, 1969) was an American activist and revolutionary,[3] chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party(BPP), and deputy chairman of the national BPP. Hampton was assassinated while sleeping at his apartment during a raid by a tactical unit of the Cook County, IllinoisState's Attorney's Office, in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and theFederal Bureau of Investigation in December 1969. A civil lawsuit filed in 1970 resulted in 1982 in a settlement of $1.85 million. The background and events of Hampton's murder have been chronicled in several documentary films. Automatic gunfire then converged at the head of the south bedroom where Hampton slept, unable to awaken as a result of the barbiturates the FBI infiltrator had slipped into his drink. He was lying on a mattress in the bedroom with his fianc?e, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant with their child.[22] Two officers found him wounded in the shoulder, and fellow Black Panther Harold Bell reported that he heard the following exchange: "That's Fred Hampton." "Is he dead?... Bring him out." "He's barely alive. "He'll make it."Two shots were heard, which were later discovered were fired point blank in Hampton's head. According to Johnson, one officer then said: "He's good and dead now."[8][25] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton

The Blank Panther party was not selling drugs, it was a community organisation that was a positive influence for many people.

Anyone who has amassed any amount of money owes at least a small debt, to the whole of society. For propagating, contributing and sustaining the very system that let you earn this money, a system that was largely funded no doubt by tax payer money as well as private funds.

I'm tired tonight, but I'll leave this here for now, since you are interested.

Cointelpro and Divisive Hate The very point of the FBI?s COINTELPRO strategy of the 1960s was paranoia, divisive hatred, and ultimately cannibalization of radical opposition movements in the United States. And it was grimly successful. Now that there are signs that US police agencies are reviving such tactics, it is imperative that activists learn from the mistakes of their counterparts two generations ago, and find rational, principled, humane and above all tactically astute ways to respond. The FBI?s own webpage on COINTELPRO (from a section entitled ?FBI Records: The Vault?) states that the agency launched ?COINTELPRO?short for Counterintelligence Program?in 1956 to disrupt the activities of the Communist Party of the United States. In the 1960s, it was expanded to include a number of other domestic groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Socialist Workers Party, and the Black Panther Party. All COINTELPRO operations were ended in 1971. Although limited in scope (about two-tenths of one percent of the FBI?s workload over a 15-year period), COINTELPRO was later rightfully criticized by Congress and the American people for abridging first amendment rights and for other reasons.? Documents released under public pressure in the program?s aftermath in the 1970s revealed that COINTELPRO?s stated goal was to ?expose, misdirect, destroy and neutralize? the Black Panthers and other oppositional groups. The Klan was never a serious target. Apart from the Panthers, top targets were the American Indian Movement, Puerto Rican independence movement, and New Left. Bitter fruits of COINTELPRO included the police murder of scores of Black Panther leaders and adherents, most famously Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in Chicago, and the frame-ups and wrongful convictions of many others, including Geronimo Pratt and Dhoruba Bin Wahad?both of whom spent two decades in prison before their convictions were overturned. Many veteran Panthers remain in prison today. https://www.popularresistance.org/learn-the-lessons-of-cointelpro-dont-repeat-the-mistakes/

Post haste, oh wise and enlightened one.

You got me there JVC, I'm just not as bright as you truth be told. -_-

I know this is asking a lot from you JVC, but try for a moment to not be incredibly dumb, and realise that having a unstable country for a neighbour is to Greece's detriment.

I'm not anti Trump, I'm anti stupidity. Hilary would not be my first choice, but if the alternative is that orange orangutan well iron my pant suites it's Hilary all the god damn way. If you would like to hear from the actual writer of The art of the deal, who shadowed Trump for close to a year every day, here is an article: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/07/25/donald-trumps-ghostwriter-tells-all

If trump wins, you can look forward to more of these types of attacks.

I don't believe Forest is an issue. Both clubs stand to benefit I think, I don't see it as one vs the other. I could be wrong but that's just how I see it at the moment.

How so Olympic?

Apart from your last line, you are right. Personally CL success is not something that the smaller teams can attain purely by throwing money at players. The wealth gap is too big to bridge anyway. I would focus on stability, get a highly capable coach with an eye for talent to commit for 3 years or more to building a solid squad of players who can come together to create a whole that is better than the individual parts. This is just a pipe dream though, 1 or two good CL games with us and most players are packing their bags for greener pastures. In that year we went our furthest 98-99 I think, it was mostly domestic players with a couple Serbs and perhaps Ofori-Quaye, that was a team, today its a bunch of mercenaries, and I don't blame them, its the nature of the beast.

I don't put any real importance on these friendlies, as an Oly fan you are somewhat spoiled and anything less than a win is never easy to swallow, but friendlies are for the staff to try things and they count for nothing. Our owner has not spent any money yet this is true, but we always make our transfers late this is a pattern that any Oly fan can recognise. I don't believe it has to do with 20-30 million euros from CL qualification, that type of money is not a lot to Vaggelara. It is important to our club for the financial fair play rules however. Like I said to you yesterday this team is more or less identical to the one that ran away with the league title last season by 30 pts, no need to fret old bean.
