A new message from the international bankers to Greece

Banksters demand "political stability"

by system failure

We have already passed to the last month of the summer and the Greek government is ready to "continue the job" taking new cruel measures, following the orders of the Troika lenders. It is almost certain that the European neoliberal economic empire has set a specific timetable to finish the experiment in Greece, therefore, current government will receive any possible assistance to end its term on time.

As we are getting closer to September, after the summer "relaxation", international bankers mobilized Moody's to give the first "gift" to the Greek government, upgrading Greece's government bond rating by two notches.

After the "success story" and "exit to the markets" fiasco, as the power of the government coalition parties has been reduced further after the euro elections, banksters worry even more for an abrupt experiment interruption in Greece due to the higher possibility of early national elections, so, they have launched another operation to support current neoliberal government which barely stands on its feet.

As expected, the "official channels" of the local banking-media dictatorship, reproduced the news with incredible speed. The mainstream media anxiety to present the Greek bonds upgrade as an issue of top importance, can be seen in the fact that in the most (if not in all) central news of the biggest TV channels this was the first theme, dressed - in many cases - with the "appropriate analysis" concerning the coming recovery which never comes. Argentina's default came as a gift from heaven for the Greek mainstream media since it was used as an indirect warning of what is going to happen to Greece in case of "political instability".

It's quite characteristic that these two themes, i.e., the "upgrade of Greece" and the "default of Argentina", were the first in the central news of the biggest TV channels, close to each other, so that the average viewer to get the "right message". The big crime of Israel in Gaza, which is still taking place, suddenly removed from the first place as a major issue.

What's most impressive, however, and funny somehow, is the fact that the famous markets with the banks and the rating agencies, clearly prove through their own actions that they act purely with political criteria, although they try to persuade for the opposite, by producing technical analyses through which supposedly "evaluate" national economies.

How else could we explain the fact that Moody's has chosen this moment of time to upgrade Greek bonds, when the condition of the Greek economy, according to the data, is much worse than 2010 when Greece was excluded from markets? When there is not even the slightest sign for the "coming recovery"?

Furthermore, how else could we explain the fact that according to Moody's "The key factor constraining the rating at the Caa level is the continuing high level of political uncertainty. Moody's stresses that there is a high probability of early parliamentary elections by Q1 2015 primarily stemming from the eroding coalition majority and constitutional rules related to the Presidential appointment due by February 2015." (http://www.macropolis.gr/?i=portal.en.economy.1415), which is purely a political statement-warning in favor of the preservation of the current political authority?

Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history

UN Palestinian Rights Committee   In her address to the Human Rights Council on 3 July 2025, Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, warned of a genocide unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank.    She described the situation as “apocalyptic,” stating that “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”    With over 200,000 Palestinians reported killed or injured and the real toll “far higher,” she accused Israel of dismantling humanitarian aid in Gaza, replacing it with a “so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' [that] is nothing else than a death trap.”    She emphasized that this was not an isolated crisis but part of a decades-long “settler colonial project of erasure” that has intensified in recent months through military force, starvation, and mass displacement. Albanese condemned the deep complicity of corporate and state actors i...

Trump’s Tariff Threat on BRICS BACKFIRES— Is He Fueling the Rebellion?

GVS Deep Dive   Donald Trump just slapped a 10% tariff threat on BRICS countries — calling them “anti-American” and accusing them of trying to destroy the U.S. dollar. But instead of weakening the bloc, his aggressive posture might be doing the opposite.   GVS Deep Dive unpacks Trump’s July 2025 tariff ultimatum, the explosive Truth Social posts, and the BRICS summit response from leaders like Lula and Modi. From new financial systems like BRICS Pay to de-dollarization and sovereign trade in local currencies, the Global South is pushing back. And here’s the twist: as Trump tries to defend the dollar with threats, he may actually be accelerating the very rebellion he fears. 🎯 Why is the U.S. struggling to sign new trade deals? 🇮🇳 Will India bend under Trump’s pressure — or break away? 🌍 Is BRICS the future of global power? 📉 And what happens if the dollar really does decline?     Related:  Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global So...

Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA

Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran. The documents lend weight to the Islamic Republic’s accusation that the nuclear watchdog secretly colluded with its enemies. by Kit Klarenberg Part 2 - Langman’s name placed under official UK censorship order In 2016, Langman was named a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George, the same title bestowed on fictional British spy James Bond. By that point, the supposed secret agent held the dubious distinction of being publicly ‘burned’ as an MI6 operative on two separate occasions. First, in 2001, journalist Stephen Dorril revealed that Langman had arrived in Paris weeks prior to Princess Diana’s fatal car crash in the city on August 31 1997, and was subsequently charged with conducting “information operations” to deflect widespread public speculation British intelligence was responsible for her death. Then, in 2005, he...
