Venezuela: The "revolution" of the rich

The myth of economic collapse and the Right-wing riot geography Conflicts between the police/government supporters and parts of the Right-wing opposition in Venezuela, resulted to 16 dead so far. The capital, Caracas, as well as the business center and wealthy eastern parts of the city become almost every day a battlefield as protesters build trenches with building materials and tires. The government however, arrested at least seven executives of the secret services accused for the death of protesters during protests on February 12, in an effort to minimize crisis. These arrests produced a new round of rumours in the global media concerning the coherence of the state mechanism, especially whether secret services have moved outside government's orders in the past. Many other incidents which indicate provocative operations remain unclear, like the assault of armed men on motorbikes against protesters. Despite the fact that economi

Cyprus fell as expected

“ Cyprus's parliament approved plans for privatizations on Tuesday, averting a showdown with international lenders who insist on state selloffs as part of a 10 billion-euro ($13.77 billion) bailout. In a show of hands, 30 lawmakers in the 56-member parliament endorsed a guideline for asset sales just before a deadline for approval expired on March 5. Parliament's rejection of an earlier privatization motion on February 27 risked derailing the bailout accord with the European Union and International Monetary Fund in March 2013. ” “ Left-wing parties rejected the plans, which call for converting the island's electricity, telecoms and ports utilities into joint-stock companies and seeking out strategic investors. It was supported by the ruling right-wing Democratic Rally party and a centrist party. ” http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/04/us-cyprus-privatisations-idUSBREA2310120140304 As Cyprus has left alone, it was a matter of time to vote for this

The closed system of the biggest black market

Legal US dollars are printed illegally to fund riots by system failure The myth of the good Americans who care about people's freedom has collapsed a long time ago. No one believes in this fairy tale today and possibly, not even those who revolt against tyrannic regimes. It seems that today, more than ever, the American people are increasingly losing trust to any US government, especially after the financial crisis of 2008 and the revelations concerning NSA interceptions, as it became totally clear that the system of power in the US and the planet belongs to the big banks and multinational corporations, in other words, to the global economic elite. It seems that, this system of power which completely controls governments, has set a very effective mechanism in order to protect and expand its interests and influence globally, by manufacturing a product that everyone wants: dollar. The effectiveness of this mechanism is due to the end of the gold standa

The second phase of the plan of neoliberal dictatorship in Italy

Italy is about to have another prime minister who will not be voted by the Italian citizens. The Enrico Letta resignation after the motion of no confidence inside the Democratic Party, has made many people to remember the conditions of the bloodless economic "Coup d'état" that brought Mario Monti to power. The Italian General Industry Federation (IGIF) appears to play a key role this time, as the leadership of the organization met with the general secretary of the party, Matteo Renzi, only a few days before Letta's "overthrow". What the Federation (the famous Confindustria) wants this time, is not just austerity policies imposed by Monti, but the radical change of the labor legislation in favor of the country's biggest businesses. Renzi's debut in the political arena with specific proposals, satisfies the most crazy dreams of IGIF, as these proposals contain, substantially, the abolition of elementary labor rights, for worke

Το κλειστό σύστημα της μεγαλύτερης μαύρης αγοράς

Νόμιμα δολάρια που τυπώνονται παράνομα χρηματοδοτούν εξεγέρσεις του system failure Ο μύθος των καλών Αμερικανών που κόπτονται για την ελευθερία των λαών έχει καταρρεύσει εδώ και πολύ καιρό. Κανείς σήμερα δεν πιστεύει αυτό το παραμύθι και μάλλον, ούτε καν αυτοί που ξεσηκώνονται ενάντια σε τυραννικά καθεστώτα. Περισσότερο από ποτέ, σήμερα, ο ίδιος ο Αμερικανικός λαός φαίνεται ότι χάνει όλο και πιο πολύ την εμπιστοσύνη του προς την κάθε κυβέρνηση, ιδιαίτερα μετά τη μεγάλη οικονομική κρίση του 2008, αλλά και τις αποκαλύψεις για τις μαζικές παρακολουθήσεις από την NSA, αφού φάνηκε ξεκάθαρα ότι το σύστημα εξουσίας στις ΗΠΑ, αλλά και σε όλο τον πλανήτη, ανήκει στις μεγάλες τράπεζες και πολυεθνικές εταιρίες, με λίγα λόγια στη παγκόσμια οικονομική ελίτ. Φαίνεται ότι, αυτό το σύστημα εξουσίας που ελέγχει πλήρως τις κυβερνήσεις, έχει στήσει έναν πολύ αποτελεσματικό μηχανισμό προκειμένου να προστατεύει, αλλά και να επεκτείνει τα συμφέροντα και την επιρροή του παγκοσμίως, γιατί
