Varoufakis exposes Troika's CIA-type method

“Here's Varoufakis describing how Greece's creditors, the European Commission, European Central Bank and IMF (informally known as the Troika) treat the country's economy: 'Shortly before the cardiac arrest, we are granted a few breaths of air. Then we are put under water again, and the cycle starts anew.'”

“The bailout Greece has been getting allows it to keep its public finances flowing, but also includes severe austerity conditions, as well as structural reforms like the privatisation of government-owned assets. When Spiegel said there were good people working at the Troika, this was Varoufakis' response: 'There were also very good people at the CIA when waterboarding was used against their will and therefore were in a terrible moral dilemma.'”

“Given Germany's scepticism of US foreign policy, this comparison might play a little better, but it's unlikely to make him many friends at the CIA.”

"Today, Troika's joined forces in Greece represent a more 'successful story': In just three years, between 2010 and 2013, the GDP of the country shrank by 25%, not to mention the unprecedented poverty and unemployment. So, the joined forces of the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund present better 'achievements' than IMF by itself."

    Tho one fights to maintain hope Syriza will not betray ...

    Syriza's Tspiras & Varoufakis are tied to billionaire George Soros & the CIA-Brookings USA stink think tank, Varoufakis as well to US billionaire Bill Gates & to Greece's past Papandreou gov't ... & now the world's most famous fake progressive, US regime leader & fraud Barack Obama, is supporting Syriza too, as if in a kiss of death. These are enough seedy oligarch connections to chill the heart.

    All current 'pressures' on Syriza (ECB cutting off bank funding etc) were crystal-clear predictable. After all, this is how the EU-ECB-IMF Troika sabotaged and removed from power, both Berlusconi in Italy, and Papandreou in Greece itself the other year, when Papandreou partly redeemed himself by trying to offer Greek citizens an Iceland-style referendum on their servitude.

    It's said as well Tspiras has been crushing the anti-euro group within Syriza ... blocking Greeks from the key knowledge of which they are deprived, that it is the euro itself which is a prime tool of their slavery. Will Syriza betray? I fear ...

    In a variety of interviews (most in his mother tongue) he has explained away many of connections alleged in the other readers comments. Varoufakis has been true to his word so far, (going back several years now - thinking back to before his 'modest proposal') and now, in his role as FinMin, finds himself up against monumental forces. My personal hopes are that this modern day hero (not to mention the many others fighting alongside him) succeeds in chopping Medusa's head from her body. There is too much avarice, hypocrisy and deceit among men. This is Medusa's head and it governs the world's "institutions" in this day and age. Democracy is the true enemy today. Not 'terrorism'

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.

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing

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. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage.

Zionists’ LONG HISTORY Of False Flags & STAGED Attacks!

The Jimmy Dore Show   In recent years several alleged anti-Semitic incidents, including graffiti and vandalism, were later revealed to have been staged or “false flag” operations carried out by Jewish perpetrators to create sympathy or shift the public narrative in Israel’s favor. Jimmy Dore presents investigations that revealed hoaxes and uses them to argue that media and political institutions exploit victimhood to silence criticism of Israel. He then expands the discussion to accuse Israeli and Zionist figures of deceit in global politics and misinformation about Gaza. It ends with commentary that the term “anti‑Semitic” has lost meaning due to its politicization and misuse.

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.

Will Mamdani manage to liberate New York from brutal neoliberalism?

globinfo freexchange    Fifty years ago, New York City was on the verge of collapse . The politicians who run the city had borrowed more and more money from the banks to pay for its growing services and welfare. But in the early 70s, the middle classes fled from the city and the taxes they paid disappeared with them. So, the banks lent the city even more. But then, they began to worry about the size of the growing debt and whether the city would ever be able to pay it back. And then, one day in 1975, the banks just stopped.   The city held its regular meeting to issue bonds in return for the loans, overseen by the city's financial controller. The banks were supposed to turn up at 11 a.m., but it soon became clear that none of them were going to appear. The meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. and the banks promised they would turn up. What happened that day in New York, marked a radical shift in power. The banks insisted that in order to protect their loans, they sho...

Priceless: Zelensky told the truth about the war in Ukraine at its beginning!

globinfo freexchange    How did this escape the radars of mainstream media? Well, the answer is obvious, yet still, it is astonishing the fact that already back in 2022, at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, one of the major outlets of Western imperialism, actually translated this part of the interview with West's puppet, Volodymyr Zelensky. At 12:28 of the video, Zelensky starts spelling the truth about the real reason behind the war in Ukraine!    Zelensky admits:                            There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and the cost of Ukrainian lives. This is definitely in the interest of some countries. For other countries, it would be better if the war ended quickly because Russia's market is big one that their economies are su...
