Brussels bureaufascists mark another victory in the Greek battlefield

by system failure

SYRIZA won clearly the snap elections in Greece and Independent Greeks entered the new parliament. This means that the story will be continued from where it has stopped and the government coalition of SYRIZA/Independent Greeks stays in power, although with less seats this time (155 against 162 from the elections of January). Of course, under these circumstances, no one knows whether this government will manage to finish its term normally, or whether Greeks will have to go to vote again, say in a year from now.

One will naturally wonder: So why should Greece go through another electoral process? What's the point? The answer is that the Brussels bureaufascists had to get rid of the 'dangerous' part of SYRIZA, the most radical MPs who formed Popular Unity after the split of the party.

Zoe Konstantopoulou and Costas Lapavitsas are two examples of MPs who joined Popular Unity. Konstantopoulou took action right after SYRIZA won the elections in January. As Speaker of the Greek Parliament, she took initiatives to start an investigation for big scandals of previous governments, like the Siemens scandal.

But her most important initiative was the formation of a committee which would investigate the Greek public debt. With the help of foreign experts, the Committee of Truth for the National Debt, was making fast progress and the first findings showed that the Greek public debt is illegal, illegitimate, and odious. The Greek public debt case had started to attract international attention and this had certainly alarmed Brussels and Berlin. Why?

1st, because the final report would have certainly point to the real criminals (the bankers), who were saved with taxpayers' money, and Greece paid them with unprecedented cuts in wages and pensions. Greece was sacrificed so that to save mostly the German, the French, and the Greek banks.

2nd, because Greece could have become an example for other eurozone countries to proceed in audit of their debts.

Costas Lapavitsas is one of the supporters of national currency for Greece and more people started paying attention to his analysis of how and why Greece should leave eurozone, especially after Tsipras' defeat in the negotiations with the creditors. Also, Yanis Varoufakis didn't participate in Popular Unity, but clearly stated his support to the party before the elections.

Therefore, Brussels bureaufascists have an extra reason to celebrate. Not only managed to get rid of Varoufakis, as also Matteo Renzi recently cynically admitted, and split SYRIZA. They also managed to get rid of the 'dangerous' radicals for good, as Popular Unity did not enter the new parliament.

A critical factor for the result of the elections was the unprecedented figure of those who didn't vote (~43%), which shows the big disappointment of the Greek society and especially the youth. Popular Unity, was formed quickly, under an emergency situation after the split of SYRIZA, therefore didn't manage to persuade the voters about the viability of plan B, the return to national currency.

Although the European Financial Dictatorship (EFD) is not very happy with the result because SYRIZA doesn't have to cooperate with parties promoted by the establishment like PASOK, Potami, or even, Union of Centrists, Tsipras and Kammenos, implied recently that PASOK could participate in the coalition, under specific circumstances. In this case, the plan would be almost completed according to Berlin and the bureaufascists.

But even though this will not happen, the Brussels-Berlin axis will take for granted that Greeks have accepted the 3rd catastrophic memorandum, and force the coalition government to apply every detail of the Greek experiment, according to scenario 1, as described.

This will be also an attempt to reject the clear 'OXI' (NO) against the brutal policies of the Greek people in the referendum. EFD puppets should know that this 'OXI' is already a historic event and cannot be changed. It will play a significant role in future for the change of Europe towards real Democracy.

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...
