Why eurocrats have chosen this moment to attack Greece

by system failure

No one should expect something better by the eurocrats and the Berlin directorate at this moment. While Greece is being strangled systematically in the economic field as we approach the end of the four-month truce period with the lenders, Jean-Claude Juncker has chosen the right moment for another insidious hit.

It's not the first time that something similar happens. It is worth to remember the behavior of the eurocrats during the eurogroup-parody of February 16 (euro-puppets-dirty-games-exposed), when they tried again to deconstruct the officials of the fresh Leftist government, in every way. As we approach the most crucial point of this conflict, they tried to deconstruct the Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras, this time.

What are the real reasons behind this new fiasco during the recent meeting between Tsipras and Juncker?

The first reason is that the lenders tried to give a good lesson to Tsipras after his recent article in Le Monde (tsipras-some-seek-complete-abolition-of), through which he "dared" to speak about the catastrophic course of Europe today. This article should have been a shock for them, as they were used to Greek PMs who were smiling and saying "yes" to all of their demands, during the previous years. So, maybe they wanted to put Tsipras "in the appropriate position".

The second reason is probably the most common in the war of the negotiations. The lenders suddenly requested the most tough measures so that finally to take what they want, appearing that they retreat to some extent. It's the classical tactic of "ask for more in the beginning, to take what you want in the end".

The third, and probably most important, reason, was to deconstruct completely the government in order to reduce its high public acceptance in Greece. Some SYRIZA MPs stated that the latest requests by the lenders were even worse than those included in an email sent by the former Finance Minister, Gikas Hardouvelis, under Samaras administration. Therefore, the target was not to push the government towards fiscal targets, they don't care about them at all. The target was to make the government appear totally unreliable in order to bring back scenario 2 (the-global-financial-mafia-promotes), according to which they want to get rid of the radical part of SYRIZA, and form a new coalition government through the participation of the neoliberal opposition. Furthermore, they would be happy to see another technocrat in charge as PM in such a type of government (e.g. Yannis Stournaras).

The mainstream media played the known narratives. Top journalists claim that elections are not necessary, in fact they would be a catastrophe especially in the middle of the tourist season. Former PM, Antonis Samaras, grabbed the chance to speak about his "willing" to contribute to a government of "national consensus", saying also that the elections would be a "nonsense". So, we see a clear effort by the systemic establishment to bring the neoliberal forces back in the game in order to contribute to the completion of the neoliberal experiment in Greece which was interrupted by the 25th January elections.

Previously, the media had built the profile of Juncker as a "friend of Greece". Therefore, after the recent fiasco with Tsipras, they want to persuade that the Greek government is totally isolated since even the "friends of Greece" do not accept Greek government's proposals about the debt issue.

Of course, there is not a single friend of Greece among these Brussels-Berlin axis euro-puppets. Their friends are the bankers and the lobbyists. We should remember the big sandal Luxleaks concerning Juncker, who openly stated that groups of interests in the EU are unavoidable! (juncker-verhofstadt-lobbies-and-groups)

Despite all these, Tsipras administration has a big weapon in its hands as long as will be used wisely. Eurocrats play with fire and the Greek government has a chance to burn them. The time has come to speak openly and clearly to the Greek people (elections-with-threat-of-grexit) and try to obtain wide majority in new elections. In such a case, plutocrats' representatives will find themselves in an even more difficult position while Greece will win a decisive battle.

Operation Mindfuck: The origins of the Illuminati conspiracy fraud and how it became popular in our times

From the new documentary Can 't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis   globinfo freexchange   The first settlers had come from Europe to America to flee from the corruption of power in the Old World. But although they had got away from the old power, they hadn't got away from their suspicious minds, and alone, out in the vast wilderness of the new America, that led them to imagining dark, hidden conspiracies in their own government, far away in Washington.    One of the first of these, in the early 19th century, said that a secret group from Europe, called the Bavarian Illuminati, were running a giant conspiracy in America to destroy the new democracy. In reality, the Illuminati had been a utopian movement who wanted to replace religion with reason. But instead, they now became the first of a series of frightening suspicions that fed off the isolation of the settlers in the New World.    One night (in 1958, somewhere in the vicinity of Whittier, Califo...

US Warships Under Fire: Iran Hits Back & Blasts UAE

MintPress News  "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."  By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy.  Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...

“Russia & China Preparing For War With The US!”

The Jimmy Dore Show   Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains that as a result of recent military conflicts, Russia, China, and Iran have become allies, and that Beijing and Moscow have concluded that "if we let Iran fail, we're next on the menu" from what he describes as a "rogue state led by a rogue personality," meaning they will intervene to prevent Iran's collapse if the US threatens it. He tells Jimmy Dore that Putin called Trump for an hour and a half to make it clear that a military campaign in Iran would not succeed and would make the situation much worse, offering to store Iran's enriched uranium as a diplomatic gesture. Macgregor warns that if the US restarts the war, China could send 40 or 50 surface combatants and submarines to the Indian Ocean, and Russia could fly MiG-31s into Iranian airspace — not to provoke a direct confrontation but to "make a point." He concludes that the British Empire overreached and overextended with World War...

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...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...

Οι ιδιώτες 'επενδυτές' ως η μόνη επιλογή για ανάκαμψη: άλλο ένα παραμύθι του νεοφιλελέ κατεστημένου

Άλλη μια 'ιερή αγελάδα' της νεοφιλελεύθερης χούντας που κανείς δεν επιτρέπεται ούτε καν να διανοηθεί να αμφισβητήσει του system failure Το Ελληνικό πείραμα διανύει ήδη τον έβδομο χρόνο του με την οικονομία ρημαγμένη και κανένα σημάδι ανάκαμψης στον ορίζοντα. Εκτός από την απόλυτη αποτυχία των νεοφιλελεύθερων πολιτικών που επιβλήθηκαν στην Ελλάδα από την Τρόικα της καταστροφής, έχει ενδιαφέρον κανείς να εξετάσει και τον τρόπο που τα νεοφιλελεύθερα αφηγήματα έχουν επηρεάσει σε μεγάλο βαθμό την κοινή γνώμη, με αποτέλεσμα να καταλήγουν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι ενός στρεβλού ορθολογισμού μέσα στις κοινωνίες. Η διαδικασία αυτή γίνεται με όχημα, κυρίως, την προπαγάνδα και την πλύση εγκεφάλου από τα ΜΜΕ και το πολιτικό κατεστημένο.

Iran’s Secret Weapon: The Undersea Cables That Could Shake the Global Economy

GVS Deep Dive   Iran’s pressure over the Strait of Hormuz may no longer be limited to oil tankers, naval routes, and energy prices. New reports suggest Tehran is considering control over undersea internet cables passing through Hormuz, potentially requiring permits, fees, Iranian law, and Iranian companies for repair and maintenance. This video breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz is not only an oil chokepoint, but also a digital chokepoint connecting Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Beneath the waters that carry global energy flows are fiber-optic cables carrying banking data, cloud services, AI traffic, telecom networks, financial messaging, and e-commerce. If Iran turns Hormuz into a digital leverage point, the consequences could reach far beyond the Gulf.
