Nous sommes avec la Grèce et l'Europe

Trois cents économistes et universitaires de tous les continents, de James Galbraith à Stephany Griffith-Jones, de Jacques Sapir à Dominique Meda, appellent les gouvernements européens et les institutions internationales à « respecter la décision du peuple grec » et à « engager des négociations de bonne foi avec le nouveau gouvernement grec pour résoudre la question de la dette ».

Nous appelons les gouvernements d’Europe, la commission européenne, la Banque centrale européenne et le FMI à respecter la décision du peuple grec de choisir une nouvelle voie et d’engager des négociations de bonne foi avec le nouveau gouvernement grec pour résoudre la question de la dette.

Le gouvernement grec a raison de soutenir qu’une profonde réorientation est nécessaire car les politiques mises en œuvre jusque là sont un complet fiasco. Elles n’ont apporté ni la reprise économique, ni la stabilité financière, ni les emplois, ni même des investissements directs étrangers. Elles ont abîmé la société grecque et affaibli ses institutions. L’approche suivie fut purement et simplement néfaste, elle n’a permis aucun progrès qu’il conviendrait de préserver. Nous demandons aux partenaires européens de prendre acte de cette réalité qui est à l’origine de l’élection du nouveau gouvernement grec.

La Grèce a besoin de mesures humanitaires immédiates, d’un salaire minimum plus élevé, de création d’emplois, d’investissements et de mesures qui permettent de restaurer et d’améliorer les services de bases tels que la santé et l’éducation. Il lui faut se doter d’un système fiscal plus robuste et plus progressif, qui repose moins sur la TVA et soit mieux à même de taxer les revenus et les patrimoines. Le nouveau gouvernement doit aussi combattre, punir et éradiquer la corruption. Pour mener ces politiques à bien et leur donner le temps de démontrer leur efficacité, des marges budgétaires sont nécessaires. En attendant, le pays a besoin du refinancement de la Banque centrale européenne pour stabiliser son système bancaire. Nous demandons aux autorités européennes et aux gouvernements de laisser à la Grèce ces marges budgétaires et de garantir ce refinancement.

Le gouvernement grec a raison d’exiger une annulation de sa dette vis-à-vis des partenaires européens. Cette dette est insoutenable et ne sera jamais remboursée quoi qu’il advienne. Il n’y a donc pas de perte économique pour les autres pays et leurs contribuables. Au contraire, un nouveau départ pour la Grèce permettra de relancer l’activité, d’augmenter les revenus et de créer des emplois et bénéficiera ainsi aux pays voisins. Nous demandons instamment aux créanciers de la Grèce de saisir cette chance et d’exposer clairement et honnêtement ces faits aux populations.

Ce qui est en jeu, ce n’est pas seulement le sort de la Grèce, mais bien le futur de l’Europe dans son ensemble. Une politique de menaces, d’ultimatum, d’obstination et de chantages signifierait aux yeux de tous l’échec moral, politique et économique du projet européen. Nous demandons instamment aux leaders européens de rejeter et de condamner toutes les tentatives d’intimidation et de coercition à l’égard du gouvernement et du peuple de Grèce.

A l’inverse, le succès de la Grèce peut indiquer un chemin vers la prospérité et la stabilité en Europe. Il permettrait un renouveau de la démocratie et ouvrirait le jeu électoral à d’autres changements constructifs. Nous sommes avec la Grèce et l’Europe, pour la démocratie et le changement. Les dirigeants européens doivent reconnaître le choix démocratique décisif effectué par le peuple grec dans des circonstances extrêmement difficiles, procéder à une évaluation réaliste de la situation et s’engager sans tarder sur la voie d’une négociation raisonnable.

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Trump & AI Companies Blatantly Meddled in Brazil’s Election to Help the Fascist

The Humanist Report Fascist Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced insurrectionist ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, came out ahead of leftist President Lula da Silva in Brazil’s election by 2-points. Both candidates will face off in a runoff election in three weeks. Flavio Bolsonaro prevailed, in part, because he enticed Trump to get involved by promising to give American corporations access to Brazil’s natural resources. In other words, Flavio Bolsonaro is willing to sell out his own country for power. Big tech companies also got involved and waged a disinformation campaign to help Bolsonaro. In this video we’ll talk about how Trump and AI companies blatantly meddled with Brazil’s election and talk about why the far right did so well more broadly speaking.

WE LOST”: Lowkey DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump, Israel & UK’s FAILED War in Yemen

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

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...

Confirmed: Alex Jones' popularity rises after Infowars banning from social media

globinfo freexchange We wouldn't expect to be confirmed so fast on this. A few days ago in the article IT and social media supergiants have just made Alex Jones a hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience , we wrote that Alex Jones' wet dream has just become reality thanks to the combined move by Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify to ban Infowars. These private IT and social media companies couldn't give a better gift to him right now. At a time where Infowars was going through a saturated period according to the best scenario, the corporate giants actually saved it with that stupid(?) strategy. Suddenly, a corporate branch of the liberal establishment gave real value to Alex Jones' awful performance, pretending to be the 'anti-establishment' hero - just like Donald Trump - and made him a real hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience that has been brainwashed by his absurd conspiracy theories. Only a couple of days later...
