The new European Feudalism is here!

by system failure

The whole sequence of events during the last months, concerning the negotiations between Greece and its creditors, shows that democracy in the European continent has died and replaced by a new type of Feudalism. What we knew until now was that the main political powers in Europe over the last decades, which are the Right-wing populist parties and the Social-democrats, were completely under control by the financial oligarchy and the corporate lobbyists.

The inevitable corruption of these political parties because of their long presence in power, together with the radical financialization of the economy, were key factors for their mutation towards the neoliberal doctrine. Progressively, these politicians realized that they couldn't control a system that it has been deregulated to a great extent by them, under the pressure of the lobbyists. Consequently, they were forced to deliver nearly every decision center to the technocrats.

The SYRIZA Leftists in Greece in essence thought that they could take back most of the power that it was delivered to unelected institutions. They discovered, in short time, that the political power in Europe has been eliminated already and that the Euro-parliament has become only a decorating element inside a powerful network of political puppets and technocrats.

From this point of view, Tsipras' surrender to this monstrous network was inevitable. The way that the European bureaufascists treated Greece, with the financial institutions at the top, was characteristic. They overthrew barriers (like Varoufakis) and threatened directly to cut liquidity, after they destroyed the Greek economy so that to make sure that Greece would be totally dependent on Draghi's liquidity injections. So, they now ask from Greece to sell-off everything and destroy what is left from the labor rights and the social state. The European and mostly the German big capital has already colonized the countries-satellites of Germany and now seeks to be expanded to the eurozone periphery.

If we look back in time, we could see a series of processes that took place, resembling a well-organized plan.

First, whole "factories" of specific rhetoric were built in a pan-European level to normalize and finally eliminate any differences between the main political powers, and prepare the public for the radical changes that would come. A rhetoric that was shaped also by the mainstream media mouthpieces and dominated by various forms of Thatcherian "TINAs".

After that, the politicians were progressively delivered the power to the unelected financial institutions, while loading the states with more debt through the excessive borrowing inside the financialized bubble economies. When the crisis hit the eurozone, Greece and other indebted states were forced to take the most cruel neoliberal measures to receive liquidity which was already under the total control of the European Central Bank.

In the final stage, Greece is being used as the model for the dystopian Europe of the future. In this phase of the experiment, the logic is simple: bureaufascists present false success stories for other countries, so that to point the finger to Greece and prevent an unexpected massive reaction, blaming the country for not making the "reforms" they want. Hypocritically say that Greece must fight the corruption and the tax fraud, while in reality they do not care at all. In fact, it is convenient for them to retain corruption in Greece as an excuse to impose their "reforms" concerning only what is necessary to establish the new Feudalism.

After the successful completion of the experiment in Greece, as they hope, they will discover again problems in the other countries so that to force them to follow the Greek path that it will be presented as a hopeful example, despite the certain destruction of the Greek economy under the final measures. Propaganda will be launched in full force. We've heard already by the mainstream media recently that the Greek economy "surprisingly" returned to growth! It really sounds like a joke, but it was the first signal for the new narratives to come.

So, there you have it: parliamentary processes have been abolished and all the public property of the eurozone colonies is about to fall in the oligarchs' hands. How do you call that?

Despite this, the war has just started. SYRIZA may have been defeated in Greece, but the European Financial Dictatorship was also completely exposed. And above all, the Greek people marked a significant victory by voting very clearly against the catastrophic measures in the latest referendum, despite all the blackmail with the closed banks and the propaganda of terror by the mainstream media.

The next crucial battlefield: the elections in Portugal, Spain and probably Greece. It is a good chance for the people in those countries to get rid of the old corrupt political system and start a new battle forming a united front.

  1. I suppose the more interesting question is when to date this-Thatcher is not the begining-was Wall Street backing Hitler the start? If not, was the decision to create a Common Market the start? The creation of an EU was commented on by former Soviet dissidents as being a worse form of the USSR. I think the agenda goes back some years, it reasonably could go back to the creation of the Federal Reserve and World War I. How fascinating that Trotsky and Lenin were both financed by Germans. The quip by Reagan always comes to mind-the right hand does not know what the far right hand is doing.

His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people.

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...

The REAL reason why Trump is attacking Latin America

How Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue

globinfo freexchange    For two years, Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in 4K on all of our screens. And for those same two years, many of the Western media institutions meant to hold power to account chose silence, distortion and doubt. Newsrooms repeated Israel's allegations with no pushback, ignored the evidence of genocide even as it played out live. This isn't a story about bias or mistakes. It's a story about how Western media helped build and then protect the Israeli narrative that allowed a genocide to continue.  So, how many Palestinian lives have been lost because the world's news outlets chose to repeat Israel's narrative instead of questioning it?    From the earliest days following October 7th, Israel's talking points were treated as fact. The now disproven claims of 40 beheaded babies and the story that Hamas used Palestinian civilians as human shields revived with every bombing of a hospital or school despite the mountain of evidence that it...
