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.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

Exposed: USA plans to use this country to hurt China & help Israel

Geopolitical Economy Report   In Cold War Two, the USA is pressuring countries to cut ties with China and recognize Taiwan separatists.

Ben Norton discusses US imperialism in Latin America.  

Iranian Seyed M. Marandi: What REALLY happened in Iran & why U.S. wants to destroy the country

Li Jingjing 李菁菁   Track records of Western interventions tell us we need to be skeptical and cautious whenever some Western politicians and pundits claim they want to liberate people in another country and bring them democracy. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at the University of Tehran in Iran. In this episode, he told Li Jingjing what happened during the protests in Iran and how Western sanctions hurt the lives of ordinary Iranians.

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

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...

Jeffrey Sachs: The US is a violent regime

CGTN   Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced on social media that American forces had carried out military actions against Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were forcibly taken to New York City to face US charges including narco-trafficking. Speaking with CGTN's Tian Wei, Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs warned that such actions reflect a broader pattern of militarized US foreign policy. By sidelining international law and disregarding the UN Charter, Washington is undermining the very framework meant to safeguard global peace and prevent another era of devastating wars. 

The real reason Trump hesitates to strike Iran

globinfo freexchange   Recent statements by the Iranian leadership concerning the ability of Iran to hit US military bases, should not be taken lightly. It is not just the missile capability and - in some cases - even superiority of Iran in the broader region. That alone, would not be enough for Washington to take Tehran's threats seriously.    It has to do also with a strategic move by Iran in the geopolitical battlefield that changes the balance decisively in the war field too. As Pakistan Today reported back in July 2025:   In two recent wars that nearly tipped the world into a full-scale global conflict— one between Pakistan and India, and the other between Iran and Israel— a new determinant of military dominance emerged. In both cases, countries under pressure, Pakistan and Iran, not only stood their ground but struck deep into enemy territory with astonishing precision and devastating impact.  ... in a 12-day war with Israel, Iran destroyed numerous h...
