Special
target: The popular acceptance of Tsipras administration
by system
failure
The new
narrative by the mainstream media in Greece and abroad, is that the
coalition government of the Leftist party, SYRIZA, is actually fully
retreated to the eurocrats and the German leadership when actually
the opposite has happened. The propaganda is so intense that the
Greek government officials find very difficult to tell the real
stories behind every distortion. Only a tiny example, was the false
information according to which the current FinMin, Yanis Varoufakis,
was about to be replaced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Yannis
Dragasakis, in the negotiations with the lenders. Several mainstream
media implied that this was done after lenders' demand, as Dragasakis
is presented being more experienced and moderate. Dragasakis
immediately denied it.
The target
of this false information flow was double. The first target was to
enhance the impression that the Greek government retreats in lenders'
demands not only in the level of the agreement terms, but also in the
level of the choice of negotiators. The second target was to break
the solid front inside the Greek government, which is being tested
already by the Left platform, the section of MPs which are closer to
the radical Left.
Not only the
Greek government managed to take a four-month truce to prepare better
for a Grexit, but it's been done with totally different terms
compared to the timeline that has been set for the "successful"
completion of the Greek experiment. Remember, some key elements of
the final schedule according to the experiment, was the sell-off of
the public property in a Treuhand-type operation
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/04/official-merkel-wants-treuhand-for.html),
the further shrinking of the minimum wage at 300 euros, and further
reduction of pensions, as well as, social state. The system launched
a propaganda war to help Samaras stay in power and complete the
experiment, while Tsipras recently revealed the dirty war by the
conservative powers in Europe to destabilize his government.

The biggest
achievement of the Varoufakis list
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/varoufakis-list-significant-for.html),
is that contains a separate section related to the humanitarian
crisis which means that the lenders officially accepted that the
previous program actually failed. The government already proceeded in
actions to vote a bill for the humanitarian crisis, vote for the
re-opening of the public broadcaster
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/june-11-2013-neoliberal-dictatorship.html),
while there are also some moves towards the audit of the public debt.
Privatizations in major sectors like energy and water supply networks
have been postponed.
Inside the
new narrative, the system tries to pass the impression that the
Troika has returned to Greece, which is quite far from reality. This
picture of medium-level officials with the arrogant style, who were
coming and telling ministers what to do, is finished. Most
importantly, the officials of the new Greek government show that they
know very well what's been happening so far, and they will not
tolerate such a situation anymore. A characteristic example, is a
statement made by the current Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Kotzias,
in 2011, who revealed the real role of the Troika in Greece and was
confirmed three years later by an official of Samaras administration:

Now, three
major questions come up from all this situation. First, why the
lenders finally retreated in Greece's new policy lines? Second, why
they use such a type of propaganda, according to which the Greek
government retreated, in the current moment? Third, who are the
carriers of this propaganda??
The answer
to the first question should be searched mostly among the political
branch of the dominant system in Brussels. The most probable
conclusion, is that the politicians deregulated the system to such an
extent that in reality they have absolutely no clue what could happen
in the case of a Greek "accident". Most of the
possibilities of a final default inside the eurozone appear to be
disastrous for their plans, as well as, the case of a Grexit.
Therefore, to keep the same intransigent stance against the unknown
X, which is the current Greek government, would be a huge risk.
The answer
to the second question, is obviously that they don't want to signal
to the rest of the eurozone members, who suffer from the cruel
austerity measures, that they are going to retreat under pressure in
case that a member will choose to reject their policies. Therefore,
the only option would be to use a narrative according to which the
Greek government is actually the one that has retreated. A part of
this "operation" is the communicative game being played
mostly by the Germans, who insist on the term Troika, especially when
they give interviews and make statements to the mainstream media.
The answer
to the third question, is that the main carriers are of course the
mainstream media and the eurocrats who are completely controlled by
the bankers and the lobbyists. Next to them, others who contribute to
this propaganda are some market "anarchists" who have
conveniently adjusted to the neoliberal domination and became hostile
against any state taxation in the financial transactions, obviously
because they make a lot of money. Also, there are some people who
dogmatically stand against any government because they don't
understand that a new government is not necessarily attached to the
system of power. This system may fiercely fight any government that
is a threat to its interests. Finally, people from the radical Left
adopt such a perception simply because they don't believe in any
compromise and consider every negotiation as a retreat.
So, the
ultimate goal of the plutocrats, is to throw Tsipras administration
into a kind of "hypnosis" and make it gradually and
smoothly come closer to their lines, so that to be able to finish the
experiment without risks. They use the necessary tools, blackmails
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/banksters-threaten-greece-through-ecb.html)
and all kinds of tactics
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/euro-puppets-dirty-games-exposed.html).
This is an operation that the dominant system actually started even
before SYRIZA come to power
(http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/a-new-attempt-to-domesticate-left-in.html).
Meanwhile,
they hope that the Greek government will be losing continuously its
popularity in the Greek society because this is actually its
strongest weapon. As long as the great majority of the Greek people
show that they support government's actions, and, as long as we are
getting closer to the Spanish national elections with Podemos precede
the polls, the propaganda will becoming wilder.
On the other
side, Tsipras should take advantage of the four-month truce, build
the necessary coalitions and prepare for Grexit. Things may become
more clear after his visit to Moscow in May ...
