A class war culmination after the euro-elections

Neoliberal dictatorship in Greece is ready to take new cruel suppression measures to finish the experiment

by system failure

Samaras administration announced recently its will to distribute the primary surplus. Government's show continued through the known tactics, as the government officials played their roles and the Greek PM declared with a supposedly strict manner that he is going to distribute primary surplus, despite Troika's orders not to do so.

The show continued also inside government through the "fresh milk" case and the supposed "rebel" MPs declaring that they will not retreat (http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2014/03/21/greeces-coalition-government-at-risk-to-drown-in-fresh-milk/), in an attempt to prevent the total defeat of the Socialist party PASOK in euro-elections and persuade voters that they stand for their own "red lines". The mainstream media presented these disagreements as a major issue. It is not the first time that such a show was played:

Naturally, the Europeans fully supported Samaras administration as follows accurately their orders, using again the same rhetoric that Greece is in right path, etc., but numbers do not lie (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/03/new-shocking-data-from-oecd-for-greece.html) and the mainstream media have hidden them, in order to promote the primary surplus "achievement" for one more time.

Also, the termination of polls' prohibition before the elections that the Greek Ministry of Interior recently announced, was not accidental. Polls will be used as a tool for investigating the trends of the public opinion until the euro-elections day, so that the moves of the next day to be determined.

Thus, in case that the polls will reflect a non-reversible situation for the government, despite the trivial "gifts" to citizens, one should expect preparations for new coalitions and political formations in case of early national elections. The political formation "River" and other supposed Center-Left powers have already taken position to replace the nearly dissolved PASOK (http://www.enetenglish.gr/?i=news.en.politics&id=1805), in order to contribute to a new coalition, with the neoliberal Right Nea Dimokratia party again in charge. These political formations will be promoted again with the motto of the "responsible" political powers who want to save country.

At the same time, a "retouch" operation for the neo-nazi party Golden Dawn has been started, as well as for the Left in Greece. With its basic executives now in prison, Golden Dawn has recently moderated its actions and rhetoric inside and outside the Greek parliament, while the systemic establishment attempts to fix party's image, in order to be used by contributing to a potential new government coalition - probably with a different name - if necessary. As always, this coalition will be guided by the neoliberal Nea Dimokratia inside which there are many far-right trends ideologically close to Golden Dawn.

Concerning the Left in Greece and especially SYRIZA, the Leftist party in Opposition, another "retouch" operation is attempted, in order to be "domesticated" and come closer to the systemic establishment interests. The high degree of destruction in Greece will become in essence a minefield for any potential future Left government of tenuous majority.

However, until all these things happen, the government wants to buy some time to finish the experiment, regardless the result of euro-elections. Therefore, the announcement of the primary surplus distribution close to the euro-elections day, with a special reference to soldiers, police and other uniformed personnel, shows that the government is ready to take new cruel suppression measures after euro-elections, in case that citizens will turn their back massively to the destructive neoliberal policies through their vote.

The centers of power in the European neoliberal economic empire know that the current Greek government will expire soon and therefore, they've given orders to finish the experiment at any cost, so that to expand it to the whole Europe.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...
