A significant revelation by WikiLeaks that the media almost ignored

10 years WikiLeaks

On the occasion of 10 years anniversary, WikiLeaks and Julian Assange held a news conference via video-link yesterday, in which Assange promised more revelations related to the oncoming US elections, before the election day.

The most significant revelations of WikiLeaks through these years were also presented, but it would be useful to refer to a recent revelation that the media almost ignored, concerning IMF and Greece.

As Paul Mason reported back in April: “The International Monetary Fund has been caught, red handed, plotting to stage a 'credit event' that forces Greece to the edge of bankruptcy, using the pretext of the Brexit referendum. [...] Released by Wikileaks, the discussion took place in Athens just before the IMF walked out of talks aimed at giving Greece the green light for the next stage of its bailout.

The dialogue between Poul Thomsen, director of the IMF's European department, and Delia Velculescu, head of the IMF mission to Greece, revealed by WikiLeaks, is indicative, showing that the IMF mafia executives would try anything to force the Greek government sign every last detail of the memorandum that definitely transforms Greece into a debt colony. A part of the dialogue is characteristic:

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.

The revelation by WikiLeaks coincided with the Panama Papers bubble. Therefore, the mainstream media quickly turned to Panama Papers and actually ignored this significant revelation concerning Greece and its blood-sucking representatives of the global financial mafia.

It appears that Thomsen has been withdrawn from the "negotiations" with Greece, but guess what: Velculescu still comes freely and undisturbed to Greece, on behalf of IMF, to finish the "negotiations"!

In a normal, truly sovereign country, she should have been arrested from the first moment she would arrive back in the country, in order to be questioned about intending to proceed in illegal actions that would harm country's interests.

Indeed, in a normal country. Not in the debt colony called Greece ...

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. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

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...

Iran could be the US’s Boer war: a hollow victory that marks the beginning of the end of empire

US leaders anticipated a walkover. Now they’re embroiled in a conflict that could hasten the end of US economic dominance  by Larry Elliott   Nobody gave the Boers a prayer when the war in South Africa began in 1899. It was farmers ranged against the might of the British empire, and the expectation was that resistance would quickly crumble. Eventually, might did prevail. Britain won the Boer war, but it was a hollow victory that took the best part of three years to achieve and came at a high cost. The blow to British prestige – coming at a time when its global hegemony was under threat from fast-growing countries such as the US – was severe. Far from highlighting the extent of Britain’s power, it exposed its limitations. A century and a quarter later, the US risks being embroiled in its equivalent of the Boer war. What should have been a walkover threatens to become a prolonged conflict. The Iranians are using guerrilla tactics, just as the Boers did, with much success. There ...

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...

Joe Biden threatens to slap Detroit autoworker in the face

Christo Aivalis Just hours before Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders compete in the 2020 Michigan Primary, Joe Biden was meeting with a Detroit autoworker when the they got into a discussion about "AR-14" and the second amendment.  At one point, Joe Biden put his finger in the man's face and said that he would slap him in the face. Whatever you think of this man and his viewpoints, this was unacceptable behavior from Joe Biden, and a clear indication that he is not fit to serve as president and be the democratic nominee. Especially because Bernie Sanders has shown you can win over conservative voters without these ugly acts.
