The early ending of the new political control?

by system failure

A new round of statements bombardment has started by the mainstream propaganda network in Greece and abroad. As expected, the propaganda will peak as we approach the day of the national elections in Greece. The major concern of the global financial mafia which pulls the strings of the Western puppet governments, is the possibility of a Leftist government in Greece that could put in danger the successful completion of the neoliberal experiment and its expansion.

What we've witnessed the last few days, is another operation of the politics of "absolute confusion". Statements of various sources – global mainstream media, European officials, German government representatives, newspapers and magazines - target mainly the Greek voters, in an effort to spread the confusion about what could happen in case that they choose new political powers (and especially from the Leftist spectrum), instead of the traditional powers that governed Greece for forty years now and fully adopted the neoliberal doctrine.

Latest example, statements by the European officials that there is no way of Grexit in any case, which are contradictory to articles supporting the high probability of a Grexit in case that voters will "dare" to vote for anti-neoliberal powers. On the top of that, some sources support that a Grexit could mark even the end of the eurozone, while others support the fact that the eurozone is now safe and stable even under the possibility of a Grexit.

What is really going on? There are three basic hypotheses:

First, we are dealing with a quite sophisticated, relatively new method of political control, according to which all mechanisms that actually belong to the same side, supply the public with controversial estimations, information and predictions, in order to confuse minds and create further uncertainty and fear, or even panic.

This could be proved very useful in the case of the Greek national elections, as it could make some critical mass of voters to deter the possibility of an autonomous Leftist government. Through this process, critical thought and independent decision could be abolished. The line between good and bad, right and wrong, almost vanishes. This method of political control is described by Adam Curtis in his short film: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/p/blog-page_1.html

Second, the system is deregulated in such a degree that no one is really certain of what could happen under specific events. In this case, we may have to deal with a global system that is driven to an increasing uncertainty, through an increasingly chaotic pattern.

Third, a combination of the previous hypotheses.

In a modern economic war, the narratives in the first case, could indeed be proved very useful. In fact, they have been successfully applied repeatedly during the last four years in Greece. The breaking of the middle class is only an example: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/05/middle-class-civil-war-in-greece-latest.html

However, the Greek experiment, eventually, turned out to be a failure in every aspect. The cruel neoliberal policies have left behind millions of devastated lives, but the economic indexes didn't improve at all. On the contrary, public debt rose, unemployment hit record high, as well as poverty and social exclusion.

In such an unstable, but technologically evolved financialized world, it's only a matter of a few zeros in a computer screen for a country to end up to default. The impact in peoples' lives, however, is real. The "brilliant minds" who designed the experiment in Greece are now in panic. They might pay for their arrogance and cruelty. They pulled the rope to the edge and broke it. It's not only their experiment in danger, but also this new method of political control - which they repeatedly used and is based on the absolute confusion and uncertainty - exactly because of the undeniable destruction they created.

    What do you think will be the consequences in the rest of euromediterranean countries? I have a feeling that the spark lit by Athens could expand to Rome, Madrid, Lisbon... And I surely hope it too. Thank you Greece for showing us we can break the chains, I'm italian, and I would love to be United with Greece, not with fucking Brussels.

    1. Thank you!

      Solidarity is the key. This is class war, not a war between the people of the European countries. Things are changing in the European south. If the Spanish people vote for Podemos and the Italian people bring the Left in power, then we have a good chance to spread the resistance across Europe. European people should unite and resist against plutocrats.

"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...

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...

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].

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...
