A system in absolute panic

by system failure

For one more time, the Greek government has failed to stay calm. After the new bribery scandal (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/greece-another-opposition-mp-claimed.html), government officials rushed to claim that the whole case has been "set up". The Greek PM, through an unprecedented action, stated that he will sue opposition MP Chaikalis! Now, guess how justice representatives responded to the governmental sirens: They rushed to close the case! (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/the-greek-justice-rushed-to-close.html) Apparently, the systemic establishment is under absolute panic.

It's not the first time that the government failed to remain calm: “Instead of staying calm, the weakened government confirmed that acts under panic through further unnecessary moves. According to some information, there was a new direct intervention by the Greek PM, Antonis Samaras, signaling to the systemic media to 'troll' Alexis Tsipras, while the Deputy Prime Minister and leader of PASOK, Evangelos Venizelos, made a new request to Samaras, asking for the abolishment of the current electoral law, which was voted in the past by his party and gives 50 bonus seats in the parliament to the first party in national elections, even in case that wins the elections by one vote! The first time that Venizelos made such a request was right after the recent euroelections when SYRIZA won.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/a-new-attempt-to-domesticate-left-in.html)

The new statements and movements by governmental executives come in full contradiction with their hypocritical motivations that anyone who has something to denounce should do it through the Greek justice. These motivations were coming through cliches like "everything in the light", etc.

The government officials supported by various systemic-friendly trolls that launched the usual propaganda on the internet, should explain why they rushed to speak about "set up" concerning the latest bribery case, before justice's final decision, when in other cases they were avoiding to make any statement apart from declaring that only justice should decide.

According to some information, the government is ready to use the tactics of "artificial destruction" (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/01/the-tactics-of-artificial-destruction.html) with the help of the well-known power centers of ENEE.

According to an article at the thepressproject.gr website, there is some recent information that the government prepares an operation to withdraw deposits equal to 11 billion euros from the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund, which are bonds in electronic form, directly liquidated if necessary. Alexis Tsipras declared, according to SYRIZA's program, that he will use this amount to relief the most vulnerable who were heavily hit by the catastrophic neoliberal measures imposed by the present government. According to the same article, there is also some information about a huge operation by the German media for the detraction of SYRIZA during the next days. (http://www.thepressproject.gr/article/70578) We should assume that the propaganda by a significant part of the global mainstream media controlled by the global financial mafia will peak in case that Greece will go for national elections.

Also, the new record of 103 (!) tabling amendments passed in the parliament during the discussion of the bill Ministry of Health, which was passed by the majority just before midnight Monday, December 22, is quite characteristic. (http://www.gazzetta.gr/plus/article/683849/voyli-rekor-oi-103-tropologies-me-ena-nomoshedio)

All these facts do not only indicate the absolute panic of the Greek political class, but also that the - controlled by the big capital - decision centers, inside and outside Greece, didn't manage to "domesticate" the Left yet, as they did with Social Democrats two to three decades ago.

Whether the Left will manage to stay on its feet from the war against it, without becoming simply a "short history" or being "transformed", as many plan and wish, will be seen in practice. This will depend to a high degree on the determination of people not only in Greece, but also in Europe.

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Racing Extinction

Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House!

The Jimmy Dore Show   President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.  

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...

Maduro's opening to China

“ Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said he hopes Venezuela will use bilateral financing mechanisms and channel more funds to the areas of energy, mining, agriculture and industry while meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” “ Financing mechanisms between the two countries total more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, according to Venezuelan experts. Financing mechanisms, including the China-Venezuela Fund, have provided financial support for some 256 projects. China and Venezuela upgraded their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Xi's visit to Venezuela in 2014, opening a new chapter in bilateral ties.” “ During their meeting, Xi called on the two sides to push bilateral ties to a higher-level. China supports Venezuela's efforts in restructuring its economy and establishing a manufacturing economic model, he said. Xi suggested the two countries push forward cooperation in the fields of oil exploration, infrastru...
