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. 

Exposed: USA plans to use this country to hurt China & help Israel

Iranian Seyed M. Marandi: What REALLY happened in Iran & why U.S. wants to destroy the country

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

Jeffrey Sachs: The US is a violent regime

CGTN   Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces had carried out military actions against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were forcibly taken to New York City to face US charges including narco-trafficking. Speaking with CGTN's Tian Wei, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs warned that such actions reflect a broader pattern of militarized US foreign policy. By sidelining international law and disregarding the UN Charter, Washington is undermining the very framework meant to safeguard global peace and prevent another era of devastating wars. 

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...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...
