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.

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people.

Iranian Seyed M. Marandi: What REALLY happened in Iran & why U.S. wants to destroy the country

Israel & CIA Behind Iran Protests To Get U.S. To Attack!

The Jimmy Dore Show    As protests in Iran have heated up, western media has actively exaggerated and selectively framed the violence by using casualty figures from U.S.- and Israel-funded NGOs — all in order to build public support for another regime-change war. Former CIA officer John Kiriakou and guest Scott Ritter claim protests were infiltrated by foreign intelligence networks and that Israel and the U.S. are using “human rights” narratives similarly to the way they were used in Iraq and Syria.   Dore and Ritter contend that Iran’s government responded to armed unrest rather than peaceful protest, while mainstream outlets ignore attacks on police and public infrastructure. They warn that propaganda, sanctions, and media coordination are laying the groundwork for a wider U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran.

Ο βασικός λόγος που ο Τραμπ διστάζει να χτυπήσει το Ιράν

"Μικρά και ασήμαντα" από τον Πίκο Απίκο Ο βασικός λόγος που δεν έγινε η επίθεση στο Ιράν, είναι το γεγονός ότι πρόσφατα, το Ιράν αποχώρησε από το δορυφορικό σύστημα GPS που είναι Αμερικανικό και εντάχθηκε στο Κινεζικό BeiDou. Που σημαίνει ότι οι Αμερικανοί δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα να σαμποτάρουν τους Ιρανικούς πυραύλους.  Έτσι εξηγείται και το μεγάλο ποσοστό ευστοχίας των Ιρανικών πυραύλων στην τελευταία σύγκρουση με το Ισραήλ, μέσα στο Ισραηλινό έδαφος. Αλλά και το γεγονός ότι πριν λίγες μέρες, οι ίδιοι οι Ισραηλινοί ζήτησαν τη διαμεσολάβηση της Ρωσίας, προκειμένου να αποκλιμακωθεί η ένταση με το Ιράν, αφού Ισραηλινές εφημερίδες και αξιωματούχοι είχαν παραδεχθεί ανοιχτά την παρουσία πρακτόρων της Μοσάντ σε Ιρανικό έδαφος και τον κομβικό τους ρόλο στις πρόσφατες εξεγέρσεις. Οι Αμερικανοί επομένως γνωρίζουν ότι αυτή τη στιγμή οι Ιρανοί έχουν τη δυνατότητα να χτυπήσουν Αμερικανικές βάσεις (όπως απείλησαν ότι θα κάνουν αν ο Τραμπ κάνει πράξη τις απειλές του), χωρίς να μπορούν να ...

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...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...
