A unique opportunity for Greece to get rid of the IMF economic hitmen


The recent revelations of WikiLeaks concerning Greece, is another proof of what this blog supports since the beginning of the financial crisis. This is not just a conspiracy theory according to the establishment, but a reality beyond any doubt.

We have pointed repeatedly that the particular problems of Greece were only the pretext for the IMF-EFD invasion. An invasion for the purpose of destroying systematically the Greek economy according to the brutal neoliberal experiment, to open the road for the new conditions. That is, unprecedented cuts in wages-pensions, dissolving labor rights and social state, sell off public assets.

The revelations could be proved a unique opportunity for Tsipras administration to get rid of one of the major components responsible for the brutal neoliberal experiment: IMF economic hitmen.

In case that the Greek government manage to get rid of the IMF, the one that knows how to destroy national economies, EFD will be left alone and the balance could change dramatically in favor of the progressive forces through the corresponding alliances in a European level. This could be the beginning of the end of the European Financial Dictatorship as a carrier of the neoliberal doctrine.

Tsipras administration should exploit this opportunity, acknowledging, however, that the IMF and EFD are on the same side and that the case of the Greek debt relief was only a meaningless offer to Tsipras in order to surrender. Only by erasing a large portion of the illegal debt and return to national currency Greece could be saved.

As it seems that the Greek experiment has a specific timeline in order to be completed by the end of 2016, the revealing dialogues show that the IMF economic hitmen are under pressure, as they want to finish with Greece as soon as possible by "successfully" completing the experiment according to the schedule. It appears that Draghi's "solution" through the financial coup against Greece the summer of 2015 was something that Thomsen liked, as he discovered how to make the Greek government totally obey and take all the brutal measures to the last detail according to the experiment.

This is a good sign as it seems that the economic hitmen, either from IMF or ECB, do not care anymore to retain any pretexts. They are trying to finish the experiment by any means.

The IMF-EFD axis is now totally exposed and the Greek government should definitely exploit this situation.

A characteristic part of the dialogues:

THOMSEN: What is going to bring it all to a decision point? In the past there has been only one time when the decision has been made and then that was when they were about to run out of money seriously and to default. Right?

VELCULESCU: Right!

THOMSEN: And possibly this is what is going to happen again. In that case, it drags on until July, and clearly the Europeans are not going to have any discussions for a month before the Brexits and so, at some stage they will want to take a break and then they want to start again after the European referendum.

[...]

THOMSEN: But that is not an event. That is not going to cause them to… That discussion can go on for a long time. And they are just leading them down the road… why are they leading them down the road? Because they are not close to the event, whatever it is.

VELCULESCU: I agree that we need an event, but I don’t know what that will be.

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Trump & AI Companies Blatantly Meddled in Brazil’s Election to Help the Fascist

The Humanist Report Fascist Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced insurrectionist ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, came out ahead of leftist President Lula da Silva in Brazil’s election by 2-points. Both candidates will face off in a runoff election in three weeks. Flavio Bolsonaro prevailed, in part, because he enticed Trump to get involved by promising to give American corporations access to Brazil’s natural resources. In other words, Flavio Bolsonaro is willing to sell out his own country for power. Big tech companies also got involved and waged a disinformation campaign to help Bolsonaro. In this video we’ll talk about how Trump and AI companies blatantly meddled with Brazil’s election and talk about why the far right did so well more broadly speaking.

EU Is Finished & China Can Now Pull the Plug on the U.S. Economy

Glenn Diesen Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Varoufakis discusses how the EU is a cartel designed by the U.S. that is no longer fit for purpose. The German economic locomotive has broken down; the EU no longer has an economic model, its foreign policy is consumed by war, and it has already become a technological colony. Varoufakis also argues that China can now pull the plug on the U.S. economy if it chooses to do so.

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Σε επανάληψη το έργο «η Άγκυρα είναι εκνευρισμένη» από το μιντιακό τσίρκο Μητσοτάκη

globinfo freexchange Το Μητσοτακικό μιντιακό τσίρκο παίζει για άλλη μια φορά το έργο «η Άγκυρα είναι εκνευρισμένη» με την συμμαχία Ελλάδας-Ισραήλ. Φυσικά, οι μιντιακοί καθεστωτικοί παπαγάλοι δεν θα σας πουν ποτέ ότι ο Νετανιάχου είναι εγκληματίας πολέμου με βάση την απόφαση του διεθνούς ποινικού δικαστηρίου, ότι το Ισραήλ στην τελευταία σύνοδο του ΟΗΕ ήταν περισσότερο απομονωμένο από ποτέ, ότι η υποστήριξη των Αμερικανών ψηφοφόρων προς το Ισραήλ έχει κυριολεκτικά κατακρημνιστεί και συνεχίζει την κατιούσα με βάση τελευταίες δημοσκοπήσεις και ότι οι διαδηλώσεις και εκδηλώσεις ενάντια στο Ισραηλινό κράτος-τρομοκράτη, εντός και εκτός Δύσης, είναι καθημερινό φαινόμενο. Οι μιντιακοί Γκέμπελς προσπαθούν απεγνωσμένα να δημιουργήσουν κλίμα υπέρ του Μητσοτάκη, αντιστρέφοντας την πραγματικότητα, καθώς βλέπουν ότι, ακόμα και στις στημένες δημοσκοπήσεις, τα ποσοστά της ΝΔ απέχουν παρασάγγας από την αυτοδυναμία. Πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι το διεφθαρμένο κόμμα Μητσοτάκη ενδεχομένως να μην αγγίζει ούτε κ...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...
