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 ...

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

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

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? 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. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

Muslim Wins New York City Mayoral Primary & Zionists FREAK OUT!

The Jimmy Dore Show   A "scary" Muslim named Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic mayoral primary, and Zionists are absolutely freaking out.

Throughout, the hosts criticize the Democratic Socialists of America, highlight government hypocrisy, and deride fearmongering rhetoric around Muslims and leftist policies. 

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 United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
