A first win against the blackmail of the global financial mafia in Greece

globinfo freexchange

From ZH:

Greek PM fails to get enough votes to elect President:

“As a reminder, this is the first of three votes, in which the candidate needs 200 votes. ND and PASOK have together 155 seats in the Parliament, and they expected to win some votes from independent MPs and possibly also some votes from Independent Greeks and Democratic Left MPs. According to Greek media, the government expects to win a total of 162-165 votes for Dimas in the first round. The final vote: 160 For, 135 Against, and 5 Abstain. This is a problem because the whisper number was around 170 for the 3rd round vote to be even remotely close.”

“Up next is the second round vote when the threshold once again is 200, which will take place on December 23, with the vote limit dropping to only 180 votes in the third and last round of voting on December 29. In other words, Samaras is a crucial 20 votes short of getting his candidate pushed through in 2 weeks, after which follows a messy election that according to recent polls may easily be won by left-wing Syriza and its anti-bailout leader, Samaras.”

“Eight Golden Dawn MPs, currently in custody pending trial, will be taken to the Parliament and participate in the voting. Should the Parliament fail to elect Greece’s next President, the Parliament dissolves and snap elections are due. Pressure to MPs to vote in favor of Dimas has reached unbelievable dimensions with national and international mainstream media to warn of “an economic and political turmoil” should the country go to early elections. Why are they afraid of the snap polls? Oh, because chances are big that left-wing SYRIZA wins the elections and attempts some radical changes in the oh-so-successful loan and austerity agreements with the country’s lenders, the Troika.”


What's at stake:

The mobilization by the global financial mafia this time will be more intense, as its representatives know that a potential Leftist government in Greece who may strongly resist against the austerity policies, could trigger an "uncontrolled" domino rise of the Leftist powers in Europe, who will fight against the neoliberal agenda. Make no mistake, the war will be hard. But there is no alternative. Either the European people will choose to fight determined and united, or, will be surrendered to the plutocrats who will bring the new Dark Ages. The "Battle of Greece" will be decisive ...

    The Idea that an " uncontrolled rise in leftist regimes" is a nightmare spectacle to the banksters is a farce. First thing there has not been an Uncontrolled rise of the left in all human history The nearest thing to it was Maoist China and that was a splendid example of how the "uncontrolled" left could be isolated and marginalized by the Banksters In fact if you look at China verse India until the late eighties,all the communists did was to assured there own people were royally screwed over for forty years thus they took themselves out of the demand for world resources and let the rest of the world prosper while they stagnated.
    In fact there has been no greater instrument for the oppression of Human beings in the entire history of the world than the communist governments that were supposedly created to "liberate" them..
    Syriza and Tsiparis are in an no win situation. If they win the election they cannot demand more concessions because the bond markets would desert them if they were given any. But the only other alternative to complete submission to the troika is to default leave the Euro and devalue, something that will cause massive upheaval all over Europe
    Tsiparis is really just a pretty face for the leftist dreamers to rally around. The Banksters are not going to turn this image into reality by making any concessions. The only reason Samaris is making any effort at all to win is because of Golden Dawn, which is the specter that all the Greek Politicians fear.. For the GD Will default and WILL bring back the Drachma which WILL be allowed to find its own level. Not only that but they WILL nationalize the infrastructure that Samaris has been peddling to the banksters at fire sale prices.
    But what really scares the Bankster is when Spain Portugal Italy and Ireland see what GD did in Greece they will follow suit and let the entire house of cards that is the EU collapse along with the southern part.

      First, learn to separate what we mean by the concept Left from Communism because it's not the same think. Further, you should separate Soviet Communism from Chinese Communism from theoretical Communism and from the concept of the Left. Then we can discuss again.

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.

Munich Shock: Rubio’s Vision of a New Western Century & World Order

GVS Deep Dive   At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches of the year. Framed as a call for Western renewal, his address went far beyond NATO reassurance — outlining a vision of sovereignty, industrial consolidation, and civilizational confidence that may signal the end of the post-Cold War global order.   Is this the beginning of a Second Cold War?   Is the West reorganizing around bloc competition?   Or are we witnessing the construction of a new world order?

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 ...

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...

Η θύελλα έρχεται, Grexit τώρα!

globinfo freexchange Η εκστρατεία δαιμονοποίησης της πιθανότητας επιστροφής σε εθνικό νόμισμα συνεχίζεται αμείωτη, ακόμα και επί κυβέρνησης Τσίπρα. Η κυβέρνηση ΣΥΡΙΖΑ-ΑΝΕΛ είναι σίγουρο ότι δεν έχει την πραγματική εξουσία στη χώρα και αυτό φάνηκε τόσο από το οικονομικό πραξικόπημα Ντράγκι το περασμένο καλοκαίρι, όσο και από το γεγονός ότι επιβάλλονται στην παρούσα κυβέρνηση άνθρωποι σε θέσεις-κλειδιά, όπως για παράδειγμα ο τωρινός διοικητής της Τράπεζας της Ελλάδος, Γιάννης Στουρνάρας. Η προπαγάνδα της εγχώριας τραπεζομιντιακής δικτατορίας που διατηρεί ακόμα την πραγματική εξουσία, ως παράρτημα της Ευρωπαϊκής Χρηματοπιστωτικής Δικτατορίας (ΕΧΔ), δαιμονοποιεί με κάθε μέσο και με κάθε ευκαιρία, μέσα από τα γνωστά σενάρια ολέθρου, την πιθανότητα επιστροφής σε εθνικό νόμισμα. Όπως έχει επανειλημμένα τονιστεί σε παλαιότερα άρθρα, ο μόνος τρόπος για να σταματήσει η καταστροφική πορεία της χώρας, η οποία επιβάλλεται συστηματικά από τους μηχανισμούς της ευρω-δικτατορίας κ...

Five reasons a war with Iran will mark the final fall of US empire

globinfo freexchange   1. The nature of war has changed dramatically since the Iraq war, due to technological developments. A ground invasion, especially against Iran, would be catastrophic for the US empire with unpredictable consequences, even if the regime-change mission successfully completed.  2. The Iran allies in the region are still active, despite their losses. This is connected with the first reason in a way because armed groups dispersed in the Middle-East and affiliated with Iran, can lead to an asymmetric, out-of-control conflict to the point where US forces may suddenly find themselves trapped in a wider deadly warzone with no exit. The new, relatively cheap technology of drones and small/middle range missiles, is easily accessible to these groups. The Ansar Allah group in Yemen, already demonstrated their ability to sabotage US military operations. 3. Iran is not Iraq. Not only due to its size and the fact that we live now in a very different period, but also be...
