Greece: Media propaganda officially confirmed!

The Greek Council of State, through a short announcement, has officially confirmed the propaganda by the neoliberal banking-media dictatorship in Greece. As expected, not a single word has been said by the mainstream media mouthpieces about this:

“An organised propaganda campaign is being waged in various publications, TV shows and social media against the functioning of the Council of State, which has been criticised by the the IMF over its 'adverse court rulings' that represent 'downside risks' for the country's austerity programme.”

“The head of the country’s supreme administrative court has claimed that an organised campaign is being waged by the media against his institution and that this 'propaganda' could have implications for the independence of the body.”

“In a communiqué issued to judges and other officials on July 2, the Council of State’s president, Sotiris A Rizos, refers to the existence of a “campaign of publications, TV shows and social media” targeting the institution. 'The propaganda is being exercised in an organised manner and could potentially harm the freedom of judgment of the judiciary and, eventually, cause irreparable harm to the judicial work of the court,' he added.”

“This would serve to reduce the willingness of judges to offer legal protection to citizens, the communiqué continued, which was published on the court’s website.”

“Rizos said that the propaganda campaign against the court, which determines whether government laws and decisions are compatible with the constitution, has resulted from recent decisions that reversed a number of wage cuts imposed as part of troika-mandated austerity. These decisions restored the pay of judges, military, police and other uniformed state employees to 2012 levels.”

“Is there a country that a warning from the President of the highest court against an organised attempt by mass media to distort the normal function of the judiciary would pass unnoticed? From July 2nd there is at least Greece. [...] Till today, July 10th, no big media has paid attention to the judge’s gesture.”

Since the beginning of the crisis in Greece, the mainstream media launched an unprecedented propaganda to hide the responsibilities of the bankers and impose cruel measures against people in favor of the big capital under Troika's commands. Only a few examples:

Greece: Unprecedented propaganda before euro elections

Greek government: "Recruiting" Obama for the euro elections!

“Tactics of downgrading followed excessively, resemble rating agencies, which gave the signal for the start of the economic war against Greece. Government exploits even the only way of workers' resistance, which is strikes and protests. Using the mainstream media which are fully committed to the memorandum policies, as they are fully controlled by the banks and big private interests, the government uses the propaganda in full force to blame workers for the deficient function of hospitals, universities and other public institutions.” “... the big private media fully support government through propaganda, as they have shared the digital frequencies, which is the first gift they received from government just after the "black" against ERT, plus, they need government to expand neoliberal policies in favor of their bosses.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/12/the-tactics-of-downgrading-and.html “Right after the short governmental crisis in Greece, when 'Dimokratiki Aristera', the leftist party of the governmental troika, retired from the governmental coalition, another disorientation operation began immediately in Greece, by the banking-media establishment and its politicians-puppets in power, through a massive propaganda attack, in an effort to downgrade the major issue that came up, after the unacceptable decision concerning the closing of the Greek public broadcaster (ERT), and also, to disorientate Greek people from the new catastrophic measures which are about to come, and include among other things, massive discharges in public sector, as exactly the lenders' troika wants.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/07/greek-crisis-and-disorientation.html “Neoliberal dictatorship representatives in Greece continue to spread the propaganda concerning the Greek banks. Various mouthpieces continue to propagate the false perception that the Greek banks are, at the moment, under the state control and some of them claim that this is a proof of the Soviet function of the economy!” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/01/greece-only-public-in-banks-is-debt.html “The Greek government tried to persuade about the “success story” of Greece after Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samara's trip to China and Azerbaijan, that is, recovery is imminent, Greece returns to growth and better days are coming. Very difficult to do, as the reality experienced by millions of Greeks is completely different. The dominant bank-occupied media in Greece were mobilized, as always, for this new propagandistic disorientation effort, and the arsenal of propaganda was enhanced by some German media with articles praising Samaras. Wolfgang Schauble also supported this operation by praising Greece and the countries which adopted devastating austerity measures.” http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/06/greek-crisis-and-disorientation.html
