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.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: Alex Jones' popularity rises after Infowars banning from social media

globinfo freexchange We wouldn't expect to be confirmed so fast on this. A few days ago in the article IT and social media supergiants have just made Alex Jones a hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience , we wrote that Alex Jones' wet dream has just become reality thanks to the combined move by Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify to ban Infowars. These private IT and social media companies couldn't give a better gift to him right now. At a time where Infowars was going through a saturated period according to the best scenario, the corporate giants actually saved it with that stupid(?) strategy. Suddenly, a corporate branch of the liberal establishment gave real value to Alex Jones' awful performance, pretending to be the 'anti-establishment' hero - just like Donald Trump - and made him a real hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience that has been brainwashed by his absurd conspiracy theories. Only a couple of days later...

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...

CIA had an agent at a newspaper in every world capital at least since 1977

Joel Whitney is a co-founder of the magazine Guernica, a magazine of global arts and politics, and has written for many publications, including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. His book Finks: How the C.I.A. Tricked the World's Best Writers describes how the CIA contributed funds to numerous respected magazines during the Cold War, including the Paris Review, to subtly promote anti-communist views. In their conversation, Whitney tells Robert Scheer about the ties the CIA’s Congress for Cultural Freedom had with literary magazines. He talks about the CIA's attempt during the Cold War to have at least one agent in every major news organization in order to get stories killed if they were too critical or get them to run if they were favorable to the agency. And they discuss the overstatement of the immediate risks and dangers of communist regimes during the Cold War, which, initially, led many people to support the Vietnam War. globinfo freexchange...

How normal human behavior became a false mental disorder epidemic

globinfo freexchange In the early nineties, an epidemic of mental disorder was sweeping America and Britain. It had been uncovered by a new system for identifying disorders. Psychiatry had been attacked for relying on the personal and fallible judgement of psychiatrists. But instead, a new objective method based on checklists had been invented. These listed only the objective symptoms, and deliberately did not enquire into why the individuals felt an anxiety. In the late 80s, nationwide surveys had revealed an incredible picture: more than 50% of Americans suffered from mental disorders. But at the very same, the drug companies had announced that they had created a new type of drug, called an SSRI, which they claimed, targeted the circuits inside the brain that were causing these malfunctions. The SSRIs were marketed under names like "Prozac". What they did was alter the amounts of serotonin that flowed across the circuit connections within the brain, and they...

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...
