Banksters and lobbyists unite their puppets for war

by system failure

A few days before the crucial elections on 25th of January in Greece, neoliberal dictatorship mechanisms in Europe have mobilized all the means, increasing the known propaganda of fear, as expected.

A latest "desperate" move, the trip of the Spanish PM, Mariano Rajoy, to Athens, in order to declare his support to the Greek PM, Antonis Samaras. (http://news.yahoo.com/spains-rajoy-tells-greeks-beware-impossible-promises-142113791--business.html) Both the Spanish and the Greek PM belong to the neoliberal Right, so, naturally, Rajoy came to support the cruel policies of Samaras, the ones that applied himself to the Spanish people with the same results: poverty, unemployment, social exclusion, and of course, evictions in favor of the banks.

The visit of the Spanish PM to Greece, is not accidental at all. It has to do with the rapid rise of the new Leftist party, Podemos, in Spain, which is gaining an increasing power according to all recent polls. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/01/spains-podemos-surges-ahead-in-voter.html) A party which came out of the people protesting in the streets and squares in Spain. Therefore, Rajoy's visit was a clear effort towards the amplification of the neoliberal Right front, as Podemos and SYRIZA declared their will to shape a strong alliance from the first moment.

The good news is that, banksters and lobbyists in Europe, appear to be in panic indeed, mobilizing their puppets because they fear of an "uncontrolled" domino of rise of the Left in Europe, which could be disastrous for their plans about the successful completion of the experiment in Greece, and its expansion.

It's also positive the fact that, in such a cruel economic war, things become more and more clear. On the one side, plutocrats mobilize their puppets in order to retain the control of the game and secure their dominance. On the other, the impoverished people who wake up and try to defend, or, re-conquer their rights, using the Left as a key weapon.

Samaras took advantage of Rajoy's visit, claiming that Spain, which is also in a difficult situation, has lent Greece and therefore, Greece should not speak about debt "haircut", because this would be against Spanish people. However, he "forgot" to mention that the European politicians and eurocrats made a clear choice to save banks (mostly French and German), when crisis hit eurozone, passing the bill to the European citizens. Samaras' statement reflects actually the old tactic of "divide and rule", thus aiming to turn the people of the European nations against each other, so that to prevent a strong unified front against the neoliberal catastrophe.

However, the positions of the Left in Greece, Spain and Europe, are very clear and focus on the real nature of the economic war, which is basically a class war. Therefore, there is a need for the creation of a strong, unified front by the European people against plutocrats who impose the destructive policies in every country.

ENEE representatives, the Greek and the German Minister of Finance, Gikas Hardouvelis and Wolfgang Schäuble, made new statements towards the usual line of austerity and reforms. All these, show only one thing: their agony to complete the experiment in Greece by any means. The best proof for what the plutocrats fear most, is the everyday war of statements and propaganda. And what they fear most, is the probability that the European people will choose to fight and resist united.

GVS Deep Dive  Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips.

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

suggested by failedevolution.blogspot 18th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century.

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...
