Official: Merkel wants a "Treuhand" for Europe!

by system failure

During Merkel's visit in Athens, mainstream media flooded, as expected, by more or less triumphal comments, with only few exceptions of different opinions which were allowed in the name of the supposed reliable information.

From the first moment of her visit as representative of the European neoliberal economic empire, it was like all problems were magically vanished: homeless who searching garbage for food disappeared, poverty was beaten, unemployment rate dropped to single digits and the only thing that Greece has to do is to prepare for the millions of tourists who are about to come and borrow from international speculators at low interest!

The German chancellor said many things (more or less expected), but it would be worth to focus on a phrase which shows her intentions: "I come from an electoral periphery which was marked by the reunion phase of east and west Germany. Many occupations that were necessary sometime, suddenly were not. Thus, I do have a picture of the weight that you carry in your country".

Merkel wants to "unload the weight" by offering "earth and water" to the German big capital. If someone wants to see an example, could only have to take a look at the relatively recent past and how former West Germany behaved against former East Germany, with the fast and massive privatizations and companies that passed into the hands of the West Germany's economic elite under ridiculous prices. German oligarchs are organizing a new "Treuhand" throughout Europe. Other multinationals will follow to take advantage, and preparing for big party on potential oil and natural gas fields.

The latest bill voted by the very thin majority of the Greek parliament opened the road for good. The experiment in Greece is about to end according to the plan and the timeline was verified also by the IMF director of the European department, Reza Moghadam, who stated that, it is likely that Greece may need further help from the eurozone over the next two years, thus until the end of Samaras administration, so that the last phase of the experiment to be completed, including the sell off of state property and shrinking of the minimum wage at 300 euros.

No one should have illusions. The armies of economists of the "new economy", were presenting improved economic indexes as an answer to those who were criticizing neoliberal policies of IMF in various countries. However, development indexes that supposedly improve the economic situation of a country, are only related to the high profits of the big companies and banks and not to the improvement of the conditions in people's lives which are getting worse.

However, in the case of the Greek experiment, the anxiety of the economic murderers to present a "success story" in any case, is more than obvious since in this case even the numbers expose them. Thus, they created a false "primary surplus" and a "return to markets", as an answer to the obvious destruction, because they have to persuade, somehow, the rest of the eurozone to adopt such policies, so that the experiment not to be restricted to Greece.

Therefore, what the neoliberal dictatorship fears most now, is an "accident" in the oncoming euro elections that may be proved catastrophic for the completion of the experiment. The systemic establishment in Greece has already prepared the scenery for a possible coalition between the neoliberal Right party Nea Dimokratia and the neo-nazi party Golden Dawn, in case that the rest of the systemic parties will not be able to regain power. At the same time, politics of fear and blackmail are in the front line: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/04/when-system-blackmails-societies.html

The "parrots" who reproduce the systemic propaganda, insist to speak about the new age, the new economy. However, the fact that for the first time an economically developed area is being tested through the current experiment, is in reality the only innovation that someone can find. For the rest, not only nothing new can be found, but on the contrary, Europe walks backwards to the Feudalism and Machiavellianism of the 21st century guided by Merkel, something that someone could call as "Merkiavellianism".

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...

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 1   For years, Israel’s Mossad monitored and secretly influenced a violent communist faction that carried out the March 16, 1978 kidnapping and murder of Italian statesman Aldo Moro, veteran investigative journalist Eric Salerno has documented. Having worked closely alongside multiple Italian heads of state during his 30-year career as a correspondent, Salerno published an expose of their secret relationship with Israeli intelligence in 2010 called Mossad Base Italy. The reporter told The Grayzone that Moro, who was arguably Italy’s most important leader, became a thorn in the side of powerful forces who sought to keep his country firmly lodged in the pro-Western bloc. Salerno believes It...
