Greece: The system ready for war to confront the Leftist "threat"

by system failure

As recent polls in Greece give a clear lead for the main Leftist party, SYRIZA, (the latest one by 11% from Samaras' New Democracy - http://www.greeknewsonline.com/syriza-leads-nd-by-11-in-polls/), the local banking-media dictatorship sees that there is no chance for a formation of any new government without the participation of the Left.

It seems that the main systemic powers inside and outside Greece are mobilized, fearing the worst scenario for them, which is an autonomous government of the Left in possible national elections.

Inside Greece, the system is using the political parties River and PASOK, which are promoted as representatives of the Center-Left political space. Recent statements from River and PASOK members show that their goal is to join a potential Leftist government, hoping that it will not be able to collect the necessary votes to be autonomous. The "Socialist" party, PASOK, is probably ready to abandon the government coalition and try to "clean" its name, by changing leadership.

Some moves like the one of the "voluntary" taxation for the shipowners (http://www.tvxs.gr/news/ellada/eidiki-forologisi-gia-efoplistes-kai-me-nomo), reveal that the government does not believe that can fix the negative climate against it and there is no point to persuade about its good intentions. They also show that the ruling class tries to grab whatever it can, as sees that its neoliberal government-puppet start to collapse.

Outside the borders, the new "gift" from Draghi to the Greek banks (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-10-01/germany-throws-over-draghi-plan-buy-greek-junk) is quite indicative. Draghi attempts to save the bankers in front of the real "threat" of a Leftist government in Greece. The bankers continue to accumulate capital back to the ECB while the real economy collapses under the lack of liquidity.

Systemic media presented this move as completely positive for the Greek economy, as expected, with cliches like "the economy will take a deep breath through further liquidity". In reality, of course, this move is only an extension of the previous one (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/the-emperor-spoken-again.html) by the "emperor" to provide even cheaper money to the banks.

During the next months, we should expect a propaganda culmination by the banking-media dictatorship in Greece, with the help, as usual, of the European neoliberal economic empire mechanisms. The main goal will be to prevent an autonomous government of the Left, which could cause a domino effect in Europe, interrupting the expansion of the Greek experiment.

We should also expect a "tighter approach" of the Left by the systemic establishment which will try to drag it inside its frame of interests. The purpose of this approach will be to force the Left to compromise, for a start, so that the current system to maintain its power.

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.

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. 

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. 

The orange clown invades Venezuela, betrays MAGA base

globinfo freexchange   Abandoning all pretexts, the orange clown of terror kidnapped the legitimate president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. The US imperialist mafia now invades sovereign nations, kidnaps legitimate presidents, using ridiculously baseless excuses. Of course, not even a 10-year old child seriously believes that Maduro will be treated fairly in a fair trial by any US court. The fascist Trump regime already betrayed MAGA base, as one of Trump's key promises for a zero-intervention policy, has been blatantly violated. It is clear that Trump doesn't care at all for the will of the vast majority of the American people who is tired from this ruthless imperialist policy. He knows this is his last term, unless he dares to do the unthinkable: expand his dictatorship, contrary to the US constitution. According to a scenario among plenty, Trump has made an unofficial bargain with Putin to secure their spheres of influence. Yet, in such a case, we don't know what is the...

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 ...
