Leftists must finally take notice of – and buy stock in – bitcoins

by Ramin Mazaheri

Part 1

I can easily prove the leftist utility of bitcoins by relating one question I commonly hear: “Ramin, can you please take this medicine to my family the next time you visit Iran?”

The US produces more than half of all new medicines, but there is an embargo on Iran (and Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, etc.): With bitcoins, Iranians can circumvent these criminal, terroristic restrictions and get medicines which sick people are being cruelly denied.

So I see that bitcoins can save lives. Today.

Iran needs medicine, Cuba needs concrete, Venezuela needs toilet paper – bitcoins can be used for all these things…IF the left would immediately get involved with them.

One thing is absolutely, undeniably clear about bitcoins: The market is absolutely exploding for them in a way absolutely unseen in any field since the dot-com boom.

This process began in April, and it is fascinating. The mainstream media has only just picked up on this fact.

That means the average person is totally unaware of the technological and philosophical innovation/revolution which supports bitcoins: technically, it’s the Nakamoto consensus (a distributed consensus algorithm), but the marketing phrase is “block chain technology”.

And crucially for the future success of bitcoins: Leftists have no idea what heck is going on.

I think bitcoins could be the biggest financial weapon seen in ages to contest capitalism. Therefore, if the left cedes this current formational period of cryptocurrency to the right, or to individualistic libertarianism, it will be an enormous setback for society, socialism and anti-imperialism.

But you won’t read that in Western mainstream media – you only hear about making money with bitcoins. To be fair, that has been incredibly newsworthy as well.

George Soros tried to get rid of Yanis Varoufakis because the neoliberal regime could not handle Greece and Ukraine simultaneously

globinfo freexchange In a recent interview at the Greek channel, Crete TV, the former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, made some interesting revelations. Among other things, he actually confirmed what the blog thought until now to be an exaggerated far-right conspiracy theory. He essentially confirmed that George Soros intervenes directly to political leaderships, substituting political institutions in Europe and elsewhere. Varoufakis said that, on June, 2015, George Soros tried to contact Alexis Tsipras via his own ‘channels’. In the interview, Varoufakis claims that he had no idea what Soros wanted to talk about. As Varoufakis also writes in his book Adults in the Room: My Battle with Europe's Deep Establishment, for years he has been falsely portrayed by the pro-troika establishment and the anti-Semitic Right as Soros’s stooge in Greece. Yet, Soros’s message to the Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, came as a perverse vindication. ‘ Fire...

Όσοι περνάν των χώρα της απόγνωσης παθαίνουν αμνησία ...

globinfo freexchange Δανειστήκαμε αυτή τη φράση από ένα παλιό κομμάτι της Ελληνικής ροκ μπάντας "Τρύπες", για να περιγράψουμε με λίγα λόγια αυτό που φαίνεται να έχει πάθει η Ελληνική κοινωνία. Πώς είναι δυνατόν μια ολόκληρη κοινωνία να έχει ξεχάσει ποιοι τη χρεοκόπησαν; Ποιοι έστησαν το άθλιο σύστημα των κρατικοδίαιτων 'ημέτερων' και της οικογενειοκρατίας; Ποιοι έσωσαν τις τράπεζες με πακτωλό δισεκατομμυρίων σε βάρος της μεσαίας τάξης; Ποιοι έκαναν τη μίζα και το ρουσφέτι επάγγελμα; Πώς είναι δυνατόν αυτή η κοινωνία να ετοιμάζεται να ξαναφέρει στην εξουσία ένα κομμάτι αυτού του άθλιου πολιτικού κατεστημένου, με την επιστροφή μάλιστα του αμετανόητα νεοφιλελεύθερου Κυριάκου Μητσοτάκη και της ομάδας του; Η απόγνωση που έφεραν εννέα χρόνια βάρβαρων νεοφιλελεύθερων πολιτικών και σκληρής λιτότητας και που ανάγκασε τη χώρα να διαβεί τον εφιαλτικό μονόδρομο της μόνιμης χρεοκοπίας, πρέπει να έπαιξε σημαντικό ρόλο. Διότι ως γνωστόν, η απελπισία...

An example of how the banking cartels control countries

the Greek case by SCH If we take a look at the Greek legislation, we can understand why the country is totally controlled by big private banks. According to the legislation concerning operating rules of the Primary Dealers selected in order to provide specialised services in the government securities market , one can read that: From article 1, paragraph1: as Primary Dealers are appointed institutions authorised as credit institutions or investment firms in a country which is a member of the European Union or authorised as such in another jurisdiction by a regulatory authority which, in the opinion of the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Greece (hereinafter “the Competent Authorities”), imposes an adequate supervisory/investor protection regime . Primary Dealers are selected in order to provide specialised services in the government securities market, i.e., to participate in the syndications and auctions of Greek government securities in the primary mark...

America's 250th birthday: The most divided yet?

Liu Xin America is turning 250 years old, but this is no ordinary birthday celebration. National pride has hit a 25-year low, two rival celebrations are splitting the country, and the political and economic landscape is more fractured than ever. In this episode of Pointcast, host Liu Xin sits down with Ben Norton, Editor-in-Chief of Geopolitical Economy Report @GeopoliticalEconomyReport, to unpack what's really going on beneath the surface of America's semiquincentennial.

Η αβάσταχτη ελαφρότητα του αποκτηνωμένου Έλλην

του system failure Θυμάμαι μια φράση που είχε ειπωθεί κάποτε σε κάποια εκπομπή της πάλαι ποτέ ποιοτικής ΕΡΤ, σχετικά με την επταετία της χούντας των συνταγματαρχών και το πως επέδρασε στον ψυχισμό του Έλληνα. 'Χάσαμε την αθωότητά μας', είναι η απόδοση αυτής της φράσης και μου φάνηκε τότε κάπως υπερβολικό, αλλά με τα χρόνια, κατάλαβα ακριβώς τι σήμαινε. Είναι δυνατόν, τα μόλις επτά χρόνια, έστω και ενός σκληρού καθεστώτος, να επηρεάσουν τόσο βαθιά τον ψυχισμό ενός ολόκληρου έθνους για δεκαετίες; Φαίνεται πως ναι. Ο μέσος Έλληνας, που είχε συνηθίσει να υποπτεύεται τον οποιονδήποτε ως καταδότη του μαύρου καθεστώτος και άρα έπρεπε να προσέχει πως συμπεριφέρεται, αλλά και να αυτολογοκρίνεται, ανέπτυξε ανάλογα συμπεριφορικά μοτίβα και μετά την πτώση του καθεστώτος. Έγινε καχύποπτος με τον δίπλα του, αλλά και με το ίδιο το κράτος (όχι άδικα στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις), περιχαρακώθηκε γύρω από το μικρό του οικογενειακό βασίλειο και δεν ξαναβρήκε ποτέ αυτή τη "χαμένη αθωότητ...
