Austria has just returned to the Middle Ages

The Austrian government confirmed that the far-right is an emergency reserve of neoliberalism

Haven't you yet convinced that the nationalists and the far-right are the most faithful dogs of the big capital? Then, look at what just happened in Austria. In the end, despite the mass protests in Vienna, Austrian employers will be able to introduce 12-hour working day without increasing wages. The relevant law adopted by the Parliament of the country, reports on Friday, July 6.

What's the first thing that Emmanuel Macron did after his election in France? He rushed to complete what Francois Hollande - the other puppet of the neoliberal establishment - had started: destroy trade unions, completely deregulate the labor market.

Yet, the media in France were promoting him as a 'progressive' (what a joke) who will stop the far-right threat.

In reality, big capital’s reserve, Marine Le Pen, is waiting in the 'bench', ready to take action any moment, now that Macron's popularity sinks. If anything goes wrong, she will be used as a necessity solution by the 'big bosses'. Whatever it takes to push the electorate away from Jean-Luc Melenchon and the 'dangerous' Left.

So, historically, when the dominant ideology (neoliberalism in our era) that serves the plutocracy, starts to decline, the elites release their far-right dogs to do the dirty job. The mainstream media mouthpieces use refugees as scapegoats to spread the fear, distract the masses from the real enemy (the plutocracy) and push them into the hands of the far-right.

In the United States we had the great parody with Donald Trump. He sold tons of patriotism to the Americans, he was promoted as the 'anti-establishment' (what a joke) force, and when he elected what did he do?

Hired the Goldman Sachs banksters to run the economy.

Deregulated the Wall Street mafia.

Passed more tax-cuts in favor of his super-rich friends.

And guess what. He has already declared war against the public sector unions. You should not be surprised in case that Donnie follow the steps of Sebastian Kurz in Austria, transferring the conditions of modern slavery in the US in favor of the 1% 'big bosses'.

If you still not convinced that the far-right and the 'fake left' neoliberal political center serve both the same master, check out how the right-wing pundits responded to the shocking-for-the-establishment victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the NY Democratic primaries. Apart from their ridiculous effort to smear her as 'Communist', their basic argument was exactly the same with that of the neoliberal pundits: it's impossible for the Americans to have free healthcare, education - a modern, decent social state. Why? Because both pro-Trump media and 'liberal' media belong to the big capital that doesn't want to pay its fair share to the society.

So, it seems that history always returns to the crime scene. The motherland of Austrian School of economics that gave us brutal neoliberalism may now become the blueprint for modern slavery.

Yet, the future is full of surprises. The unexpected victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that shook the establishment to the ground, may become the blueprint for a progressive Tsunami. Which may become the surprise force that will fight against the elites inside the United States, where the heart of the neoliberal beast resides.

Everything points to the fact that, sooner or later, the real left will have to face its destiny. That is, to fight hard and win a series of decisive battles in the war against neoliberalism and its far-right reserves.

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.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine. We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added] The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

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...

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...
