“ Julian Assange has given an interview to an Argentinian paper from his Ecuadorian embassy asylum where he spent more than 1,000 days. He spoke about why US meddling in Ukraine led to civil war, how the West helped ISIS and Israel supported Hamas.” “ The United States has spent 'a lot of time trying to bring Ukraine to the West,' the WikiLeaks founder said in an interview to Pagina/12, Argentinian newspaper on Monday.” “ Meddling of Western countries in the Middle East led to creation of the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), an Islamist group that is currently gaining a massive following across the wider Middle East and Africa, Assange said. 'The IS is a direct result of the adventurism of the West,' Assange said. He says the 'adventurism' of Western countries has already destroyed the Libyan and Syrian society and now is 'destroying Iraq for oil and other geopolitical reasons.'” “ The WikiLeaks founder accused Israeli authori...

του Στέλιου Κούλογλου Είναι πρωτοφανές αυτό που συμβαίνει στη χώρα. Xθες το πρωί, όταν είχε αποκαλυφτεί η επιστολή Τσίπρα στους Ευρωπαίους ηγέτες στην οποία διαπιστωνόταν το πρόβλημα ρευστότητας της ελληνικής οικονομίας, Σαμαράς και Βενιζέλος ήταν βέβαιοι ότι θα επέρχετο επιτέλους αυτό για το οποίο προβοκάρουν ήδη πριν τις εκλογές: ένας τραπεζικός πανικός που θα παρέσυρε την κυβέρνηση, από τους πολίτες που θα έτρεχαν να αποσύρουν τις καταθέσεις τους. Δεν ήταν άλλωστε ο ίδιος ο πρωθυπουργός της χώρας, που ομολογούσε στην επιστολή του ότι υπήρχε πρόβλημα, αφού η κυβέρνηση του θα έπρεπε να πληρώσει είτε τους δανειστές ή τις συντάξεις; Άλλωστε ο Α.Τσίπρας, στην ίδια επιστολή του πριν την μίνι-σύνοδο της προηγούμενης εβδομάδας, διευκρίνιζε σαφώς ότι, στην περίπτωση που καλείτο να επιλέξει ανάμεσα στην αποπληρωμή των μισθών και των συντάξεων ή των δανειστών, θα άφηνε τους τελευταίους στα κρύα του λουτρού. Αυτό το φάντασμα του πιστωτικού γεγονότος που κανένας δεν θέλ...

“ Σχέδιο που οδηγεί μέχρι την ανατροπή της κυβέρνησης περιέγραψε ο ευρωβουλευτής του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, Στέλιος Κούλογλου, μιλώντας Στο Κόκκινο και την εκπομπή Το Πρωτοσέλιδο του Σαββάτου και τον Δημήτρη Κουκλουμπέρη. Σύμφωνα με όσα δήλωσε, το σχέδιο εξυφαίνεται σε συνεργασία δανειστών – εσωτερικού της χώρας, με κύκλους γύρω από τον αρχηγό της ΝΔ, Αντώνη Σαμαρά.” “ 'Από την επομένη των εκλογών και μετά τη συμφωνία της 20ης Φεβρουαρίου γίνεται προσπάθεια ανατροπής των συμφωνιών και υπονόμευσης της, με στόχο ή την πλήρη υποταγή ή την ανατροπή της. Μιλάω για ένα σιωπηλό εν εξελίξει πραξικόπημα', εκτίμησε ο κ. Κούλογλου και συμπλήρωσε ότι 'αυτή η προσπάθεια γίνεται βασικά από την πλευρά των δανειστών σε συνεργασία με το εσωτερικό της χώρας, με κύκλους περί τον Αντώνη Σαμαρά και κάποιους δημοσιογράφους που συνεργάζονται στενά και κατά καιρούς ο αρχηγός της ΝΔ έχει αναλάβει την υπεράσπισή τους'. ” “ 'Ήδη πριν τις εκλογές ο κ. Σαμαράς έλεγε ότι αν κερδίσει ...

“ Today, March 24th marks the 16th anniversary since NATO began its 78-day bombing campaign of Serbia. The alliance bypassed the UN under a 'humanitarian' pretext, launching aggression that claimed thousands of civilian. Years on, Serbia still bears deep scars of the NATO bombings which, as the alliance put it, were aimed at 'preventing instability spreading' in Kosovo.” “ Codenamed 'Operation Allied Force,' it was the largest attack ever undertaken by the alliance. It was also the first time that NATO used military force without the approval of the UN Security Council and against a sovereign nation that did not pose a real threat to any member of the alliance.” “ An incident involving the 'mass killing' of Albanians in central Kosovo’s village of Racak – a terrorist organization, Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) stronghold – became a major excuse and justification for NATO’s decision to start its operation. Serbs were blamed for the deaths of...

globinfo freexchange Η πιο ουσιαστική ερώτηση μέχρι σήμερα τέθηκε (επιτέλους) στον "αυτοκράτορα" Ντράγκι: “ Απαντώντας σε ερώτηση της ευρωβουλευτή Marisa Matias, από την Πορτογαλία, ο Μάριο Ντράγκι αρνήθηκε ότι η ΕΚΤ εκβιάζει την Ελλάδα. 'Αν εκβιάζουμε την Ελλάδα; Αυτό παραπάει, αν κοιτάξει κανείς την έκθεση που έχουμε στην Ελλάδα. Η ΕΚΤ έχει έκθεση 104 δισεκατομμυρίων ευρώ στην Ελλάδα. Αυτό ισοδυναμεί με 65% του ελληνικού ΑΕΠ. Πρόκειται για τη μεγαλύτερη έκθεση στην Ευρωζώνη. Τι είδους εκβιασμός είναι αυτός; Το αφήνω σε εσάς να το κρίνετε!'” ( http://gr.euronews.com/2015/03/23/draghi-defends-ecb-stimulus-programme/ ), ενώ τόνισε επίσης ότι “ δεν δημιουργούμε ειδικούς κανόνες για την Ελλάδα ” ( http://www.kathimerini.gr/808583/article/epikairothta/politikh/ntragki-h-ekt-den-ekviazei-thn-ellada ). Κάποιος θα έπρεπε να θυμίσει στον κύριο Ντράγκι, ότι, σύμφωνα με το περιοδικό Spiegel, η ΕΚΤ είχε αποφασίσει να εξαιρέσει τα Ελληνικά ομόλογα από το πρόγ...

globinfo freexchange The most important question was posed to the "emperor" Draghi, at last. From MarketWatch: “ European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was Monday faced with the million-euro question — is the central bank blackmailing Greece by cutting off regular funding channels for the country’s banks? The question was posed by Portugal’s Marisa Matias, who — in several testy comments — hinted during a European Parliament hearing that the central bank has been dragging the struggling Mediterranean nation down.” “ But in his usual cool fashion, Draghi slapped down claims of any wrongdoing. 'Let me disagree with about everything you said,' the ECB boss opened his comeback. 'Are we blackmailing Greece? That’s a bit rich to say. The ECB has 104 billion euros exposure to Greece. That’s 65% of Greek GDP and the highest exposure in the eurozone.'” “ That’s Draghi speak for 'no blackmailing here.' Later in the hearing he a...

“ Podemos, the Spanish anti-austerity party, will be a prominent force in Andalusia’s regional parliament after it won 15 seats in the party’s first election since its ally Syriza triumphed in Greece. The Socialists, who have held power in Andalusia for more than three decades, will continue to govern the region. Lead by Susana Díaz, they won 35% percent of the vote, earning them 47 seats, shy of an outright majority.” “ The People’s party came in second with 27% of the vote, or 33 seats, but the party of prime minister Mariano Rajoy was the biggest loser on the day as the result was a steep drop from the 50 seats it won in the 2012 elections. The Andalusian election generated considerable interest far outside the region’s boundaries. Spain this year will see municipal, regional and general elections across the country and many saw the Andalusian race as a crucial window into electoral sentiment.” “ Podemos’s supporters had previously downplayed their chances ...

“ Wealthy US corporations have begun to replace powerless individuals as direct beneficiaries of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, obtaining economic gain from others without reciprocating, according to a new study.” “ Nearly half of First Amendment challenges now benefit business corporations and trade groups, instead of powerless people like students, prisoners, civil rights activists and antiwar protesters, says John C. Coates, who teaches business law at Harvard University.” “ Professor Coates found in his study that since 1976, the average number of First Amendment cases in the Supreme Court involving businesses started to rise to 2.2 a year from 1.5, and the number involving individuals started to fall, to 3.6 from 4.3. Such lawsuits have a harmful impact for both free market and the rule of law, Coates says. Corporations are diverting resources from research and innovation to lawsuits in order to institute new regulations in their personal int...

“ More than 6,000 people have been killed in the conflict in the east of Ukraine since last April, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said in Geneva on Monday.” “ In connection with the publication of a regular — ninth — report of the monitoring mission in the field of human rights and freedoms in Ukraine, he drew attention to the civilians’ plight in the zone of hostilities. The human rights situation has 'sharply deteriorated,' said the UN high commissioner, adding that more than 6,000 lives have been lost as a result of combat actions.” “ From mid-April 2014 to 28 February 2015, 5,809 people were documented as killed and 14,740 wounded in the east of Ukraine. Of these, 1,012 were killed and 3,793 wounded between 1 December 2014 and 15 February 2015. Given that full reports on casualties, especially near Donetsk airport and in the Debaltsevo area, are still pending, the United Nations Human Rights Office estimates that the...

Suggested from the 17th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, 13-22 March 2015 Martin Armstrong, once a US based trillion dollar financial advisor, developed a computer model based on the number pi and other cyclical theories to predict economic turning points with eerie accuracy. In the early 80s, he established his financial forecasting and advising company Princeton Economics. His forecasts were in great demand worldwide. As Armstrong’s recognition grew, prominent New York bankers invited him to join "the club" to aid them in market manipulation. Martin repeatedly refused. Later that same year (1999), the FBI stormed his offices confiscating his computer model and accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Was it an attempt to silence him and to prevent him from initiating a public discourse on the real Ponzi Scheme of debts that the world has been building up for decades? Armstrong predicts that a sovereign debt crisis will ...
