The ENEE sadism

by system failure

At the same time where eurozone is struggling to get back on its feet due to accumulated problems since the latest global financial crisis, the European Neoliberal Economic Empire (ENEE) insists on fiscal discipline! France, Italy and Belgium have been targeted this time:

The European Union has threatened to impose sanctions on France, Italy, and Belgium should they fail to bring their bloated budgets under the ceiling allowed by the EU. On Friday, the bloc gave the three an extra three months until March to fix their budgets. [...] Authorities in France, Italy and Belgium have promised to implement economic overhauls to shore up their public finances. So far, no country in the eurozone, which groups 18 countries, has come under sanction for failing to respect the EU's deficit target.”


It is amazing that the ENEE is threatening to impose sanctions not only against Russia, but also against its own “provinces”! No question of taking relief measures for the national economies and the people of course. The ENEE sadists request more blood even from the most bleeding members (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/11/demanding-more-blood-from-devastated.html) because the ultimate goal is to secure the total dominance of plutocracy over the majority.

And this is something that should not surprise us because one of the most dedicated supporter of the sadistic policies against people, is the Greek PM and his government, consisting of some of the most fanatically attached to the neoliberal doctrine politicians. After all the disaster of the Troika imposed measures, the Greek PM, Antonis Samaras insists on the fiscal targets. In a recent interview he stated that the dilemma is "whether Greece will stay on the path of sanitation by maintaining its fiscal targets and reforms, or will return to the age of deficits and subversion of the reforms." (http://www.athina984.gr/node/315901) People are of no importance against fiscal targets.

The imperial transformation of the EU can be clearly seen also in the words of the high ranking officials close to the "emperor" : “'I made a choice not to sanction because that would have been easy,' EC President Jean-Claude Juncker told journalists from a group of European newspapers.” (http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/11/28/387901/eu-threatens-3-countries-with-sanctions/) The "aristocrat" should show compassion once in a while to his "nationals"!

He is the same man who recently survived a no-confidence vote after the "Luxleaks" big scandal because a big part of the EU parliament political elite devotedly connected to the lobbyists and their interests. He is the same man who openly admitted that groups of interests in the EU are unavoidable! (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/05/juncker-verhofstadt-lobbies-and-groups.html)

Meanwhile, the problems of debt, poverty, unemployment and inequality continue to grow in the European periphery and started to threaten the most developed countries of the eurozone core. Thousands of desperate refugees are trapped in the bankrupted Greece with the "Empire" closing its eyes and ears as if they don't exist.

The officials of the "Empire" insist on the most conservative and inflexible stance against the "tsunami" of problems. Yet, this could also become the main cause for its final collapse soon. The battle is about to begin ...

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.

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...

Iran could be the US’s Boer war: a hollow victory that marks the beginning of the end of empire

US leaders anticipated a walkover. Now they’re embroiled in a conflict that could hasten the end of US economic dominance  by Larry Elliott   Nobody gave the Boers a prayer when the war in South Africa began in 1899. It was farmers ranged against the might of the British empire, and the expectation was that resistance would quickly crumble. Eventually, might did prevail. Britain won the Boer war, but it was a hollow victory that took the best part of three years to achieve and came at a high cost. The blow to British prestige – coming at a time when its global hegemony was under threat from fast-growing countries such as the US – was severe. Far from highlighting the extent of Britain’s power, it exposed its limitations. A century and a quarter later, the US risks being embroiled in its equivalent of the Boer war. What should have been a walkover threatens to become a prolonged conflict. The Iranians are using guerrilla tactics, just as the Boers did, with much success. There ...

The dominant elite ready to break the "social contract"

Hyper-automation will allow the super-rich to “get rid” of the rest by system failure Since the French revolution and the new form of the urban states-democracies, the ruling class had to make the so-called "social contract" with the majority. From the moment that the dominant urban class took the power from feudalism and monarchy, should had to find a way to protect the means of production and the labor force. Therefore, the ethnic consciousness in each state served to bound the majority in order to shape national armies to protect the ruling class interests. In exchange, the ruling urban class had given the so-called social state, labor rights, etc., through the nation-state as a carrier and guarantor for all these benefits for the middle and lower classes. Since then, there have been a lot of battles and the majority managed to conquer some benefits. At the start of 20th century, the technology progress had brought the mass production. Western s...
