Greek experiment: The puppet show continues

by system failure

Plutocrats' puppets continue their theatrical performance over the Greek ruins that have created. Suddenly, the IMF decided to play the role of the "good guy". The Fund came with a new proposal in the supposed negotiations quite "radical" for its "principles". As the Wall Street Journal reported : “The IMF wants eurozone countries to accept long delays in the repayment of Greece’s bailout loans, which would fall due in the period from 2040 to 2080 under the proposal, according to officials familiar with the talks. The IMF is also pressing for Greece’s interest rate on its eurozone loans to be fixed for 30 to 40 years at its current average level of 1.5%, with all interest payments postponed until loans start falling due.” Of course, the IMF knew from the start that neither Berlin nor Brussels would be possible to accept such a deal.

Indeed, very quickly, the German Minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schäuble, who appears to have been taken the role of the "bad guy" permanently, rushed to reject the proposal as he “has repeatedly argued that he will not ask the German Parliament for changes to the bailout program that was agree upon after much effort and deliberation last summer.” A very bad performance this time. He should wait for a while in order to put some agony in the theatrical play. It was too obvious.

Little later, through Handelsblatt, he appeared to be "willing to ease up on Greek debts, but not until after the 2017 general elections." These are the routine games by Schäuble and many European and IMF officials, back and forth, without really any substance, but only for the purpose to disorientate. Besides, the ease of the debt is the last thing that bothers them.

The previous theatrical play by the Brussels bureaufascists, the Berlin directorate and the IMF economic hitmen, was played on the occasion of Greece's debt restructure. Again, this is not the key issue, they do not care about it. They just using it to give something to Tsipras in order to justify the complete destruction of the Greek economy, through the measures they impose.

The contrived disagreements and artificial conflicts among the plutocrats' representatives is not a new tactic of disorientation. As mentioned in previous article already since 2012, the contrived disagreements between the troika representatives are “used to give the impression that the troika representatives often take decisions independently due to their knowledge and experience, and that they express freely their disagreements, and also, that there is no group of specific interests at least in a European level that promotes specific policies by guiding them. The disagreements have passed currently at a higher level between the European creditors and IMF, in order to justify the supposed different approaches of the creditors.”

The timing is quite convenient for the puppets as the new government of the ... mutated Left is very useful in absorbing the public anger. There are no alternatives in the current opposition which mostly represents the old political establishment that ruined Greece. This establishment of course is absolutely aligned with the creditors, as it is fanatically attached to the "euro or death" doctrine.

Thus, Schäuble continues to play the role of the "bad guy", IMF is changing positions rapidly, various "proposals" appear frequently in the supposed "negotiations", only for the purpose of giving false hopes to the Greek citizens that there is a real conflict somewhere between the creditors and that something is going to change. There is no such a thing in reality because we've already pointed many times that the details of the Greek experiment have been already determined and that the only target for the puppets is to complete it in order to be transfered to the rest of the eurozone. We can see already the cruel anti-labor measures that the "Socialist" and ally of Tsipras, François Hollande, is trying to pass in France, which is literally in flames due to people's anger. Therefore, in essence we have already memorandum conditions not only for the eurozone periphery, but also for its hard core.

Meanwhile, the reality is what the Greek people experience. Just look what happened since 2012. With or without Tsipras, through willing MPs or not, through financial coups and closed banks, through loyal to the big interests officials in key positions and governments of technocrats, the plutocrats' puppets are passing all the measures they want. Yet, they continue their theatrical plays for the Greek public which, unfortunately, even inside this landscape of absolute destruction, insists to believe on the illusion that there is still hope inside euro.

If you want to see the real picture behind the scene, all you have to do is to remember that IMF's Poul Thomsen and Delia Velculescu, head of the IMF mission to Greece, have been caught thinking the possibility of the IMF to stage a Draghi-type “credit event” that could force Greece to the edge of bankruptcy, using the pretext of the Brexit referendum, according to recent WikiLeaks revelations.

Which proves that the neoliberal taliban are thinking the same way, have the same "ideology", the same targets and serve the same bosses, whether are located in Brussels, Berlin or Washington.

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.

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 ...

WE LOST”: Lowkey DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump, Israel & UK’s FAILED War in Yemen

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

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.

Οι Αμερικανοί έτοιμοι να εγκαταλείψουν τους Ευρωπαίους συμμάχους τους!

του system failure   Ένα άρθρο που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Foreign Affairs  (ένα από τα σημαντικότερα Αμερικανικά think tank) στις 30 Οκτωβρίου, είναι ιδιαίτερα αποκαλυπτικό όσον αφορά το μέλλον της ΝΑΤΟικής συμμαχίας και ειδικότερα, το μέλλον των Ευρωπαίων συμμάχων των ΗΠΑ. Το άρθρο έχει τίτλο «Μπορεί το Σκανδιναβικό μοντέλο να σώσει το ΝΑΤΟ;» και υπότιτλο «Ένας νέος τρόπος αποτροπής της Ρωσίας» και περιγράφει ένα νέο σχεδιασμό για την συμμαχία υπό την ταμπέλα ΝΑΤΟ 3.0. Ο κεντρικός πυρήνας του άρθρου εκθειάζει ουσιαστικά το Σκανδιναβικό ΝΑΤΟικό παρακλάδι, το οποίο παρουσιάζεται ενισχυμένο μετά την πρόσφατη ένταξη της Φινλανδίας και της Σουηδίας, υποστηρίζοντας λίγο-πολύ, ότι η επιχειρησιακή του ικανότητα έχει βελτιωθεί σε τέτοιο βαθμό, που θα μπορούσε στο άμεσο μέλλον να λειτουργήσει χωρίς την Αμερικανική συνεισφορά, εποπτεία και καθοδήγηση. Άρα, σύμφωνα πάντα με το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, το Σκανδιναβικό παρακλάδι θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως πρότυπο και για άλλα ΝΑΤΟικά παρακλάδι...

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...
