Latest from the Greek front : A nightmare scenario for Greece and Europe

globinfo freexchange

There are many scenarios circulated lately, concerning the political situation in Greece. Here is another "extreme conspiracy scenario", briefly:

Samaras will not manage to find the 180 MPs required for the third round of the presidential election (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/a-first-win-against-global-financial.html), and the pre-elections period starts in Greece. In the leading government coalition party, New Democracy, many question Samaras, force him to resign and throw him from the leadership of the party to elect Dora Bakoyannis* for the leadership of New Democracy. She appears with a much more populist profile and declares that she will not follow Samaras' policy while will negotiate hard with the troika lenders.

Combined with the classic propaganda of destruction which will be launched to the maximum point by the known centers inside Greece and abroad, that is, the country will suffer from total destruction in case of a Leftist government in power, New Democracy manage to win again marginally in the new national elections.

The neo-nazi party, Golden Dawn, having retained or increased its power due to its stance not to vote for Dimas, finally participates in a government by the New Democracy which, additionally, retains the advantage of the 50 bonus seats**. Golden Dawn will have the necessary alibi since "traitor" Samaras is no longer in the leadership, stating that it is obliged to support New Democracy (which has many MPs from the far-Right political spectrum), in order to protect the country from the Leftist "threat" and total destruction.

Still, however, this is not enough for New Democracy to form a new government, therefore, other neoliberal systemic parties like River and PASOK (or others), will rush to contribute “for the sake of the country”. The neoliberal dictatorship has now all the time to implement the last stage of the experiment, to be expanded throughout Europe.

Meanwhile, the Greek PM during his speech on Saturday at the governmental propaganda tool, NERIT, gave the signal for a new round of the propaganda of fear. (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-27/greek-prime-minister-its-best-country-do-away-democracy) During previous speech “Samaras said characteristically that 'We shed blood to take the word `Grexit' away from the mouth of foreigners, and Syriza is bringing this word back to their mouths,'.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/europe-get-ready-for-war.html)

* Dora Bakoyannis is the daughter of Constantine Mitsotakis, one of the oldest members of New Democracy. In Greece, his conflict with current PM, Antonis Samaras, is well known, as Samaras was the cause of the fall of New Democracy from power, back when Mitsotakis was the Greek PM:

"The heightened public irritation over the Macedonia issue caused several ND parliament members, led by Antonis Samaras, to withdraw their support from Mitsotakis's government and form a new political party, Political Spring (Politiki Anoiksi). Mitsotakis's government had already restored the election system back to its original form, which allowed Papandreou's PASOK to obtain clear parliamentary majority after winning the premature 1993 elections and return to office. Mitsotakis then resigned as ND leader, although he remained the party's honorary chairman." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantinos_Mitsotakis)

**... 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!” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/a-new-attempt-to-domesticate-left-in.html)

    1. Not at all. The Social Democrats (PASOK party in Greece) are just as neoliberal as the others.

    2. If Syriza choose to remain in the E.U and Eurozone then they are neo-liberal.

  3. Thanks, this needs to be written. My fear is around To Potami which I am afraid was conjured up to replace PASOK if need be.

    1. Yes. Potami is clearly a creation by the banking-media dictatorship to attract voters from the Left and prevent an autonomous Leftist government.

      Delete
  4. I add:
    On the face of it GD will not join Dora, a moderate' pro-EU / EZ neo-liberal since they are anti EU, anti euro. Samaras was their man, and he was forced to ditch them by the US / AIPAC.
    The burning question is who would join a SYRIZA coalition government?

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

UN report confirms: Israel is a terrorist state and its goal is to exterminate all Palestinians

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday].

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote. The United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
