We have seen
another bad theatrical performance by the Brussels bureaufascists of
the European Financial Dictatorship (EFD)
and the IMF economic hitmen in the Greek drama. The representatives
of the neoliberal Feudalism pretend that they have different
positions concerning the unsolved puzzle of the Greek debt, while in
reality, they do not care at all about "solving" it, but
only to complete the neoliberal experiment in Greece to the last
detail.
The chairman
of eurozone finance ministers, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, has stated lately
that “I don’t see any flexibility on the 3.5 percent [of GDP
primary surplus] in 2018 because it was one of the anchors of the
agreement of last summer. So that’s going to take a huge effort on
the part of Greece but I think it can be done,”.

In other
words, after six years of orchestrated destruction of the Greek
economy through the IMF recipe, the Brussels bureaufascists insist on
3.5% primary surplus by a devastated economy! Either they are indeed
sociopaths, or, the most probable, do not care about any surplus.
They just use it to impose further cuts in pensions and salaries,
further rise in taxes for the remaining middle class, to the last
drop of blood of the Greek economy.
The head of
the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, appeared with
supposedly different position stating that “The 3.5% in the
short term might be achievable by some heroic, and I really mean
heroic, efforts on the part of Greece and the Greek people,”.

And how's that really different from Dijsselbloem's paranoid demand?
What would be more natural for the IMF "vampires"? Show
some mercy to the Greeks, or, demand more blood from them through
more “heroic, efforts”?
IMF's Poul
Thomsen said that the 3.5% surplus target is not realistic, yet he
ended up stating that “further tax rises would not work, but
that Greece needed to broaden its tax base”(!) (reuters.com)
In other words he completely confirmed what has been analyzed in
previous article, that, “... some of the policies imposed by
Greece's troika creditors (IMF, ECB, European Commission), were
directing the tax increases towards local small-medium businesses in
order to eliminate them. The target was simple: to destroy every last
sign of competition in favor of the big capital.”

Recall that
Thomsen and Delia Velculescu, head of the IMF mission to Greece, have
been caught thinking the possibility of the IMF to stage a
Draghi-type “credit event” that could force Greece to the edge of
bankruptcy, using the pretext of the Brexit referendum, according to
recent WikiLeaks revelations.
The
dialogues between Thomsen and Velculescu prove only the anxiety of
the IMF to finish the Greek experiment according to the timeline,
that is before the end of 2016. In reality, there is no different
goal with the EFD representatives. The supposed different positions
between EFD and IMF concerning the debt relief, or, the level of
primary surplus target, are irrelevant.
The
supposedly different positions projected by the media, are aimed to
disorientate the public, as always, but at the current moment they
help especially the Europeans to delay the completion of the
negotiations with Greece, in order to focus on the British
referendum. They will bargain with the British government and
mobilize the "inside mechanisms" of propaganda, in order to
persuade the British people to vote against Brexit. Afterwards, they
will focus on Greece, and, as has been proved, they will not hesitate
to use any means, including a financial coup, to force Tsipras
towards every last detail of the Greek experiment.
This also
explains the anxiety of the Greek government to complete the
evaluation and close the deal with the creditors, based on what has
been agreed last summer, in order to terminate the Greek experiment
without further catastrophic measures. A very difficult target
against the IMF "vampires" and the EFD "hyenas".
Is this a "controlled demolition without war" as an experiment in reducing demand for oil and other natural resources? The current globalist regimen to reduce demand for dwindling oil is to destroy countries with remaining "easy oil", like Libya, Iraq, and now Syria (Golan oil). Of course there are only a few such countries, and the amount of demand to be destroyed is vast, so other models must be investigated by our shadowy-puppet-masters.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Interesting point. There may be a lot of reasons. Here is another attempt to explain the experiment:
Delete"How all these connected to the Greek experiment? How long a society could tolerate an unemployment rate of 30% - 50% without uprising that could bring an "instability" to the system? When unemployment rate for the young people has reached 60%? When pensions and wages have been cut? How much the unemployment benefit should be cut in order to allow people to survive and consume without uprising? How many could be left totally helpless without any kind of social benefit? How much the mainstream media propaganda affects people in order to stay scared inside their homes without uprising? The new nightmarish facts in Greek experiment could be proved quite useful for the big companies that hyper-automatize production and seek to remove the human labor costs.
