June 11, 2013: Neoliberal dictatorship shuts down the Hellenic Public Broadcaster in one night!

One of the worst moments of Greece in the post-junta period One year from the announcement of the Hellenic Public Broadcaster (ERT) shutdown today. It came completely unexpectedly by the Greek governmental representative Simos Kedikoglou. With an incredibly arrogant style which refers directly to a representative of a fascist regime, mister "Goebbels" of the domestic governmental troika (now transformed in two-party coalition after withdrawal of Dimokratiki Aristera), announced the extermination - in just one day - of ERT, and got rid of its 2656 employees, in order to satisfy the outside troika lenders - who demanded more and more blood – and the domestic big media owners directly connected for years with the two-party establishment PASOK and Nea Dimokratia who brought country in this mess, in order to serve exclusively their own interests. As it happened: http://adiritos.blogspot.gr/2013/06/it-happens-now-greek-government-decided.html http://adirito

11 Ιουνίου 2013: Η νεοφιλελεύθερη δικτατορία κλείνει την ΕΡΤ

Μια από τις πιο μαύρες σελίδες της μεταπολίτευσης Κλείνει ένας χρόνος από την ανήκουστη απόφαση της κυβέρνησης Σαμαρά να κλείσει τη δημόσια τηλεόραση μέσα σ'ενα βράδυ. Η ανακοίνωση του κλεισίματος της Ελληνικής δημόσιας τηλεόρασης ήρθε εντελώς αιφνιδιαστικά και σε ανύποπτο χρόνο δια στόματος του κυβερνητικού εκπροσώπου Σίμου Κεδίκογλου. Με ένα απίστευτα αλαζονικό ύφος του στυλ “αποφασίζομεν και διατάσσομεν”, που παραπέμπει ευθέως σε εκπρόσωπο χουντικού καθεστώτος, ο μίστερ “Γκέμπελς” της εγχώριας κυβερνητικής τρόϊκας, θέλησε να εξαφανίσει “εν μια νυκτί” τη δημόσια τηλεόραση και να πετάξει στο δρόμο τους 2656 εργαζομένους της, για χάρη των δανειστών που απαιτούν όλο και περισσότερο αίμα, αλλά και των εγχώριων διαπλεκόμενων επιχειρηματιών-μεγαλοκαναλαρχών που χρόνια τώρα ρημάζουν τη χώρα σε άριστη συνεργασία με τον δικομματικό εφιάλτη ΠΑΣΟΚ-ΝΔ. http://adiritos.blogspot.gr/2014/06/1.html Από το αρχείο: Γιατί διάλεξαν την ΕΡΤ   Ελληνικό πείραμα: Η νεοφιλ

Barroso administration: Golden medal in serving interests A research by the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) “ Through the course of the crisis, attempts by corporations and corporate lobby groups to influence EU policies have probably been more successful than ever, in part due to a close relationship with the Commission.” “ Corporate Europe Observatory has gathered a lot of evidence over time and covering many different areas that shows how the Commission is easily captured by corporate interests. This report is an attempt to produce a condensed version of how the Commission has come to act on behalf of corporations over the past five years, focusing on climate policies, agriculture and food, finance, economic, and fiscal policies.” 7 - The citizens initiative: Mock participatory democracy – an experiment dead in the water? Key findings “ The way the Commission answered the European Citizens Initiative (ECI) on the Right to Water is another example of

Greece heading for national elections?

Neoliberal government weaker than ever tries to impose predetermined conditions by system failure Recent euro elections gave a clear historical win for the Left in Greece. The main Leftist party SYRIZA have won by a difference nearly 4 pc and this was an alarming fact for many inside and outside Greece. The neoliberal government will try to avoid possible national elections soon, but this would not be very easy since the term of the Greek presidency ends in February 2015 and any person suggested for the presidency will require at least 180 votes from the parliament. It is almost certain that SYRIZA will try to block the suggested person by the neoliberal government, which is weaker than ever with minimum support in the parliament, and therefore, very difficult to collect the required number of votes. The next possible steps by Samaras administration will be to change the electoral law and impose predetermined conditions for a possible future Leftist government.

Bilderbergers aim for the end game in Russia

Daniel Estulin, political analyst and journalist with a special focus on Bilderberg policies on the Voice of Russia Key parts: “ I think their [Bilderbergers] position is very clear from their final objective and, their final objective, obviously, is the end game in Russia. Until Russia can be subjugated, you will not be able to have one world government, one world order, one World Company Ltd – call it whatever you want. So, what we are seeing right now it is not only in Ukraine, but all around the world. We see it in Detroit how not only the city itself, but the USA is being deindustrialized on purpose. We see it in Karakas in Venezuela. We see it in Thailand. We saw it in the Soviet Union back in the 1990’es. We saw it in Yugoslavia back in the 1990’es. It is the idea of destruction, deindustrialization, zero growth. Again, the end game is Russia and until you can subjugate Russia, one way or another, you are not going to have your one World Company Ltd, one world governmen

Το δόγμα του "πρώτου χτυπήματος" κατά Ρωσίας-Κίνας και οι "ήπιες δολοφονίες" ηγετών

Στην εκπομπή “ The Truthseeker ” του δικτύου Russia Today (RT), μιλούν ο πρώην ευρωβουλευτής Richard Cottrell και συγγραφέας του βιβλίου “ Gladio, NATO’s Dagger at the Heart of Europe”, ο Rick Rozoff του “ Stop NATO” newslist και ο Bruce Gagnon από το “ Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space” . Σύμφωνα με το RT, ο Richard Cottrell αναφέρει στο βιβλίο του τον όρο "ήπιες δολοφονίες" με τον οποίο το NATO επιχειρεί να σπιλώσει Ευρωπαίους πολιτικούς που δεν ευθυγραμμίζονται με την ατζέντα του, χρησιμοποιώντας την προπαγάνδα των συστημικών ΜΜΕ ώστε να μην μπορούν να εκλεγούν, αλλά και πραγματικές δολοφονίες πολιτικών που συνεχίζουν να εκλέγονται. Είναι χαρακτηριστικό ότι, στην συγκεκριμένη εκπομπή του RT παρουσιάζονται στιγμιότυπα με τον Τσίπρα, τη Δούρου και τον Σακελλαρίδη μετά τις πρόσφατες εκλογές, όταν αναφέρονται αυτές οι “ήπιες δολοφονίες”! Ο Cottrell αναφέρει μεταξύ άλλων: “ Οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες δεν είναι διατεθειμένες να ανεχθο

Are you ready for Nuclear War?

by Paul Craig Roberts   Key points “ ... Washington thinks nuclear war can be won and is planning for a first strike on Russia, and perhaps China, in order to prevent any challenge to Washington’s world hegemony.” “ ... US strategic doctrine was changed and the role of nuclear missiles was elevated from a retaliatory role to an offensive first strike role. US anti-ballistic missile (ABM) bases have been established in Poland on Russia’s frontier, and other bases are planned. When completed Russia will be ringed with US missile bases.” “ The reason Washington gave for the ABM base in Poland is to protect Europe from Iranian ICBMs. Washington and every European government knows that Iran has no ICBMs and that Iran has not indicated any intent to attack Europe. No government believes Washington’s reasons. Every government realizes that Washington’s reasons are feeble attempts to hide the fact that it is creating the capability on the ground to win a nuclear war.” “ ..
