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.

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network   Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam.    In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel.    TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California. 

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now!   As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police.

It's all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice, " says Varoufakis.    Varoufakis speaks also about freeing Julian Assange and his new book Technofeudalism .      Related: Germany again on a dark path towards fascism

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale

This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University.    Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night.    Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week.

"The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

'Make no mistake, the full-scale assault on Rafah would be a human catastrophe': Guterres
