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?

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

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...

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 ...

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 ...

Self-management societies vs anarcho-capitalism: The new global war of ideologies?

by system failure The last global economic crisis has brought the Left as well as the extreme nationalism in the front line. The rise of the Left in Greece and elsewhere came as an answer to the corrosion of the European Socialism and its absorption from neoliberalism. Current government coalition in Greece consisting from the two parties in power for the last 40 years, the right-wing, now neoliberal, party Nea Dimokratia and the "Socialist" party PASOK, is the best proof of this fact. Despite the fact that the rise of the Left and extreme nationalism creates a new front of intense ideological conflict, this is not something which prevents the dissolving of the old ideological lines. Therefore, we are now in a period where the old ideological lines are blurring, and various conflicts cannot prevent this fact. This is something which has to do mainly with the fail of the Left to construct a new autonomous language relieved from capitalistic terms, and the full capitu...
