Why they persist and why now by system failure Latest negotiations between Greek officials and Troika lenders in Paris ended without final agreement for the moment, or at least this is the picture that the mainstream media wanted to pass. The hard stance of Troika against Greece, with the IMF playing again the role of the toughest of all, has two main goals. The first goal is to allow the government officials to give the impression that they negotiate and resist against Troika's demands. Some statements are characteristic: “ Greece’s international lenders have put the country under pressure to impose new austerity measures in a bid to resolve an ongoing budget disagreement, a Greek official says. Negotiator Christos Protopapas, a former union leader and Socialist labor minister, made the remarks on Thursday after attending two-day talks in the French capital, Paris, this week with representatives from the European Commission, the European Central

“ Russia’s national currency, the ruble, has hit a historic low following a decision by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to maintain its current oil output level of 30 million barrels per day.” “ OPEC 'decided to maintain the production level of 30 million barrels per day,' which it has kept for three years, during its latest meeting, the oil exporter group said in a communiqué after the 166th ministerial meeting of the 12-nation organization. The announcement sent global oil prices dropping to fresh four-year lows. Crude prices have fallen by 35 percent since June. ” “ OPEC was under pressure from some of its members, notably Venezuela and Ecuador , to cut output to reduce supplies and push prices back up. However, the call was rejected by some Persian Gulf members. ” http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/11/27/387787/russian-currency-hits-historic-low/ After the official visit of the US President Bara

“ Complex malware known as Regin is the suspected technology behind sophisticated cyberattacks conducted by U.S. and British intelligence agencies on the European Union and a Belgian telecommunications company, according to security industry sources and technical analysis conducted by The Intercept.” “ Regin was found on infected internal computer systems and email servers at Belgacom, a partly state-owned Belgian phone and internet provider, following reports last year that the company was targeted in a top-secret surveillance operation carried out by British spy agency Government Communications Headquarters, industry sources told The Intercept.” “ The malware, which steals data from infected systems and disguises itself as legitimate Microsoft software, has also been identified on the same European Union computer systems that were targeted for surveillance by the National Security Agency. ” “ The hacking operations against Belgacom and the European Unio

“ Ευθείες απειλές κατά της ζωής των δημοσιογράφων Κώστα Βαξεβάνη και Μάκη Νοδάρου εκτοξεύουν με μίσος μέσα από την φυλακή σε συνομιλίες με συνεργάτες τους τα μέλη της εγκληματικής οργάνωσης της Ηλείας που εξαρθρώθηκε μετά από την πολύμηνη έρευνα και τα ρεπορτάζ του περιοδικού HOT DOC.” “ Μέσα από το ογκώδες υλικό της ανάλυσης ψηφιακών δεδομένων του συστήματος νόμιμων επισυνδέσεων της Διεύθυνσης Αντιμετώπισης Ειδικών Εγκλημάτων Βίας, αλλά και την ανάλυση στοιχείων από τον ηλεκτρονικό υπολογιστή του προφυλακισμένου εργολάβου, προκύπτουν σοβαρότατα στοιχεία που στοιχειοθετούν άμεση απειλή κατά της ζωής των δύο δημοσιογράφων. Το εντυπωσιακό είναι πως, παρότι οι δύο δημοσιογράφοι έχουν δεχθεί ήδη επιθέσεις, η ΕΛ.ΑΣ. δεν θεώρησε αναγκαίο να τους ενημερώσει για το περιεχόμενο των υποκλοπών και τις νέες απειλές. Ακόμη και την απειλή κατά της ζωής τους την έμαθαν κατά τη διάρκεια ρεπορτάζ, διαβάζοντας μια δικογραφία. Σοβαρές είναι οι ευθύνες των αστυνομικών αρχών, οι οποίες

The Struggle Against Dystopia by Henry A. Giroux (Part IΙI) Democracy is not compatible with capitalism but is congruent with a version of democratic socialism in which the wealth, resources, and benefits of a social order are shared in an equitable and just manner. Democracy as a promise means that society can never be just enough and that the self-reflection and struggles that enable all members of the community to participate in the decisions and institutions that shape their lives must be continually debated, safeguarded, and preserved at all costs. The rebuilding of a radical democracy must be accompanied with placing a high priority on renewing the social contract, embracing the demands of the commons, encouraging social investments, and the regeneration of the social contract. These are only a few of the issues that should be a central goal for the development of a broad-based radical social movement. I want to emphasize that I am not suggesting th
