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.

Netanyahu Is Getting His War Between The U.S. & Iran!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians. Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted in negotiations. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Israel appears to be orchestrating a U.S. attack on Iran that few Americans have any interest in.    Related: Trump makes key move to beat Biden in their race to start a war with Iran

Geopolitical analyst Ben Norton details the truth about Trump's biggest failure against the rising power of BRICS led by Russia and China, and why the US's role as super power is now in serious question.     Related: Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

Trump's attempt to divide Russia & China is failing, badly

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the US divide-and-conquer strategy is failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations' victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that "China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history" and will "jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia".

Inside Iran's Savak torture museum

The Grayzone   Caution: This report contains depictions of simulated violence that may upset some viewers. Max Blumenthal tours one of the most disturbing museums on the planet. Set in Tehran's former Ebrat Prison run by the anti-sabotage unit of Shah Reza Pahlavi's Savak intelligence services, the museum is filled with shockingly graphic exhibits featuring lifelike mannequins recreating the hideous torture tactics deployed to repress dissidents rebelling against Iran's monarchy. Many mannequins on display represent notorious torturers who either fled or were executed after the Islamic revolution in 1979, while others are modeled after famous prisoners locked away in Ebrat like the current Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamanei.  

14,000 babies could die if aid doesn’t enter Gaza in 48 hours, UN warns

Some 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid does not reach them in time, the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC today. Though Israel said it would allow “basic aid” into Gaza, only five trucks entered the enclave yesterday, two carrying shrouds to help bury Palestinians killed in Israel’s bombs. Others were in Gaza, but were being held by occupation forces and had not reached Palestinians. This was the first delivery of aid since 2 March, when Israel completely sealed the enclave. This, Fletcher explained, is a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for a population of over 2.3 million, and for which no aid has been allowed to enter for 80 days.    “Tonnes of food is blocked at the [Gaza] border” by Israel, Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said yesterday. This comes just weeks after the UN agency of Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one mea...

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.

Never, Ever Let Anyone Forget What They Did To Gaza

by Caitlin Johnstone   I will never forget the Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust. No matter what happens or how this thing turns out, I will never let anyone my voice touches forget that our rulers did the most evil things imaginable right in front of us and lied to us about it the entire time. I will never stop doing everything I can with my own small platform to help ensure that the perpetrators of this mass atrocity are brought to justice. I will never stop doing everything I can to help bring down the western empire and to help free Palestine from the Zionist entity. I will never forget those shaking children. Those tiny shredded bodies. Those starved, skeletal forms. The explosions followed by screams. The atrocities followed by western media silence.   I will never forget, and I will never forgive. I will never forgive our leaders. I will never forgive the western press. I will never forgive Israel. I will never forgive the main...

They Will Starve You In A Killing Cage Too

by Nate Bear   Starvation is taking hold in Gaza. Twenty-nine people have starved to death in the last few days.  Death by starvation is horrific, the body feeding on itself, first consuming carbohydrates and fats, and then moving on to the protein parts of tissue. Once these are used up, vital organs and tissues start to fail as they aren’t being nourished by essential nutrients. The heart, lungs, muscles, ovaries, testes and brain physically shrink and shrivel. The kidneys start to fail. Eventually the body begins scavenging muscle, including the heart muscle. When this starts to happen, death is hours away, preceded by hallucinations, severe mental disturbances and convulsions. With less stored fat and higher metabolic needs, children die first. Starving parents hold their dying children, at this point nothing but skin and bone, in their arms. Adults can survive anywhere between twenty and forty days without food. Those already weak, chronically ill or immuno-compromised di...
