Operation Icarus: Anonymous declare a 30-day war on banking cartels

globinfo freexchange

Starting from the website of the Bank of Greece, which has been continuously taken down on 2 May, Anonymous declared a 30-day war on banking cartels. From the transcript of the youtube video:

Olympus will fall. How fitting that Icarus found his way back to Greece. Greetings world, and greetings Global Banking Cartel, We are Anonymous.

A few days ago, we declared the revival of Operation Icarus. Today, Operation Icarus has moved into the next Phase. For today, we have continuously taken down the website of the Bank of Greece. This marks the start, of a 30 days campaign, against central banking sites around the globe.

Like Icarus, the powers that be have flown too close to the sun, and the time has come to set the wings of their empire ablaze, and watch the system their power relies on come to a grinding halt and come crashing down around them. We must strike at the heart of their empire by once again throw a wrench into the machine, but this time we face a much bigger target - the global financial system. This time our target is the Global Banking Cartel.

This is a call to arms, brothers, who for too long have stood for nothing but have criticized everything. Stand now, behind the banner of free men against the tyrannical matrix of institutions that oppose us. Take your weapons and aim them at the Global Banking Cartel. This is the operation to end all others. In the beginning some people may stand to lose something from this, but the powers that be stand to lose much more. Bring the rain, brothers!

Operation Icarus, Phase 2, Engaged.

A few info about the dirty role of the Bank of Greece (BoG) in the Greek crisis could probably enlighten us why the Anonymous have chosen the BoG to start the war on the global banking cartel:

In a previous article, already mentioned by this blog that the Bank of Greece is totally beyond the state control and therefore it is totally unreliable to serve country's interests. It has been mentioned also that a key move by the Greek government would be to take full control of the central bank.

It is worth to notice that under "Socialist" PM Kostas Simitis, Greece entered the neoliberal era of banking lending and bubble economy. He and his "close group" in the government are remembered as the "modernizers", and this period marked the beginning of transformation of the Socialist party into a neoliberal political formation. In essence, "modernization" was the word that had been used instead of "neoliberalism".

It is also worth to notice that Yannis Stournaras, former Minister of Finance and current Governor of the Bank of Greece, who has been the most willing to adopt the destructive neoliberal policies that the Troika lenders imposed to Greece, has also worked as a financial advisor to the Greek Ministry of Finance, participating in the negotiations for Greece's entry into the European Monetary Union, under Simitis administration.

Also, Alexis Tsipras, as an opposition leader in the recent past, described Yannis Stournaras as "the main executor of the death contract against Greek society and Greek citizens", while SYRIZA had tabled a motion of no-confidence in Stournaras during his previous position as Finance Minister. (fa.ev/2014/03/bmonc)

Note also that Stournaras has been placed in his position as Governor of the Bank of Greece already since June 2014, while the political system in Greece was preparing for possible national elections, with SYRIZA ahead in all polls.. (fa.ev/2014/06/grhfne)

Everything shows that Stournaras is Berlin's and Draghi's man in Greece. He has been put in this key position at the right time in order to undermine any possible Leftist government in power (fa.ev/2015/03/tsecof) which would choose to stand against any further catastrophic policies imposed by Greece's lenders, marking the beginning of the end for the cruel neoliberal experiment in the country.

Also:

A secret project called "protection of the country's currency" for Greece to stay in the euro was compiled and quietly executed by the President of Greece, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, and the governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, at the same time when Yanis Varoufakis and SYRIZA's Left Platform planned to return to drachma. According to the newspaper "to vima" in the project also participated Hollande, Juncker, Draghi and Schulz. (fa.ev/2015/08/ptkgre)

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...

Mossad ‘in contact from very beginning’ with killers of Italian PM, reporter reveals

A roving reporter who covered Italy’s top politicians explains to The Grayzone how his country was reduced to a joint US-Israeli “aircraft carrier,” and raises troubling questions about an Israeli role in the killing of Prime Minister Aldo Moro.   by Kit Klarenberg and Wyatt Reed   Part 1   For years, Israel’s Mossad monitored and secretly influenced a violent communist faction that carried out the March 16, 1978 kidnapping and murder of Italian statesman Aldo Moro, veteran investigative journalist Eric Salerno has documented. Having worked closely alongside multiple Italian heads of state during his 30-year career as a correspondent, Salerno published an expose of their secret relationship with Israeli intelligence in 2010 called Mossad Base Italy. The reporter told The Grayzone that Moro, who was arguably Italy’s most important leader, became a thorn in the side of powerful forces who sought to keep his country firmly lodged in the pro-Western bloc. Salerno believes It...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...
