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.

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

Netanyahu BRAGS About Genocide - And Our Media COVERS IT UP

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

US Official EXPOSES Truth About Gaza From The Inside

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
