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.

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro. by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed Part 7 - Mossad continues Italian ops amid Gaza genocide Today, there is little trace of any pro-Arab tendencies in mainstream Italian politics. According to Salerno, the US and Israel no longer have any need to “destabilize Italy” as the country is economically “weak.” Rome’s government now is for all intents and purposes “a continuation, even an extension, of the old fascist regime,” he says, adding, “there are people in the government that have statues of Mussolini in their houses.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has made clear she harbors little sympathy for the Palestinians, and little intention of recognizing a Palestinian state – even after it was revealed in November 2024 the Mossad ha...

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.

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...

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 ...

Julian Assange: Sweden broke own laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado

By awarding its peace prize to Trump’s favorite Venezuelan opposition figure, pro-war coup plotter Maria Corina Machado, the Nobel Committee contravened the principles enshrined in its founding documents, as well as Swedish law, Julian Assange alleged in an explosive brief reviewed by The Grayzone. by Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed Part 2 - Norwegian Nobel judges tied to influential Venezuelan regime change lobbyist The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to a figure as clearly unqualified as Machado – and in apparent violation of Swedish law – raised questions about whether the Committee had been influenced by powerful outside interests. Machado’s nomination for the prize by the US Secretary of State had an undeniable impact on the decision, as the Nobel ceremony serves as a central channel of Norwegian soft power. But inside Oslo, a political powerbroker determined to return to power in his family’s native Venezuela may have also played a role in swinging votes for Machado. He is Thor H...

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...
