Greece's creditors gone completely insane!


We start to believe seriously that some kind of paranoia has taken over the unholy Troika of Greece's creditors. While the German sado-monetarists insist that the IMF mafia should remain in the Greek program, the IMF has set new conditions: it wants Greece to continue cuts and austerity even after the end of the cruel agreement (third memorandum) between Greece and its creditors (EU Commission, ECB, IMF), meaning, even after 2018!

From chelorg.com :

Greece’s Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos made against the requirements of the IMF legislation to adopt additional cost-saving measures for the period after 2018 the third of the assistance programme.

[...]

For its part, the international monetary Fund declares that it will fully participate in the program of lending to Greece, that is, to provide not only consultative, but also credit support, if Greece would agree to a number of new reforms for the period after 2019. The IMF believes structural reforms are needed in the labour market, pensions and taxation. «The IMF wants at present to legislate measures for the period after the program. It departs from the democratic culture in Europe. It is impractical to require a country participating in the program, to legislate for two or three years in advance what she will do in 2019. We are talking about the commitment that goes far beyond a democratic European framework and the moral values that inspire Europe,» said Tsakalotos.

[...]

Tsakalotos also said that Greece has not occupied most of the time at the meeting of the Eurogroup, and despite the fact that the Finance Ministers of the Eurozone approved the second review of the programme of reform was the General opinion that the Greek economy is recovering faster than expected.

Less than a year ago, the chairman of eurozone finance ministers, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, has stated that “I don’t see any flexibility on the 3.5 percent [of GDP primary surplus] in 2018 because it was one of the anchors of the agreement of last summer. So that’s going to take a huge effort on the part of Greece but I think it can be done,”.

In other words, after six years of orchestrated destruction of the Greek economy through the IMF recipe, the Brussels bureaufascists insisted on 3.5% primary surplus by a devastated economy! Either they are indeed sociopaths, or, the most probable, do not care about any surplus. They just use it to impose further cuts in pensions and salaries, further rise in taxes for the remaining middle class, to the last drop of blood of the Greek economy.

The IMF-adopted policies completely ruined Greece over the last six years, but the Troika sadists want to destroy whatever has left from the country. They want to make an example of Greece. They want to finish the experiment, loot public property, transfer the new conditions throughout eurozone. It is more than obvious now.

Meanwhile, in the newly released archive of 13 million pages by CIA, we found quite an impressive report concerning the IMF changing strategies on debtor countries. The report dates back to 1985, but what is even more impressive, is that, it was predicting an increase of instability in those countries, as well as, methods of reducing potential popular anger. The report was monitoring IMF's changing policy to enforce strict conditions and austerity on indebted countries that could cause political unrest.

We can find plenty of evidence of IMF-directed destruction all over the world since then. So, take a good look on what the IMF means and what the EU has become ...

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes.

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote.

The Best-Selling Apps Made By Israeli Spies

A new frontier for the BDS movement Nate Bear   The developers behind hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads are former Israeli spies whose apps are generating significant revenues for Israel’s genocidal war economy. The apps I’ve identified range from innocuous image and video editing apps to casual games, and most users won’t be aware they’re installing Israeli products on their phones. Many of these app developers operate under the radar, their ownership structures are opaque and the identity of their owners isn’t commonly known. The identification of these apps should add another frontier to the boycott, divest, sanctions movement, as it provides a straightforward way for ordinary people to avoid Israeli products that contribute to apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing. The proliferation of these apps on Apple’s App Store and the Google Play Store also raises questions over privacy and the harvesting of personal data, given the reputation of Israeli t...
