Ο Κούλης ετοιμάζει κράτος σκληρής καταστολής ...

failed evolution Το νέο παραλήρημα Μητσοτάκη που ξεκίνησε τη χθεσινή του ομιλία στη βουλή με τα κοινότυπα συστημικά τσιτάτα περί 'μιας και μοναδικής βίας', αυτή τη φορά έχει μια βαθύτερη εξήγηση. Δεν έχει να κάνει απλά με το γεγονός ότι το κόμμα του βρίσκεται σε παρακμή και ότι δεν έχει να προσφέρει τίποτα απολύτως στον Ελληνικό λαό πέρα από τη γνωστή συνταγή σκληρής λιτότητας που επιβάλλει παντού ο άξονας Βρυξελλών-Βερολίνου, στην οποία και ο ίδιος άλλωστε είναι ιδεολογικά ταγμένος. Δεν έχει να κάνει απλά με μια απόπειρα αποπροσανατολισμού της κουβέντας από την καυτή πατάτα της οικονομίας, όπου εκεί η Νέα Δημοκρατία δεν έχει και δεν μπορεί να παρουσιάσει ούτε μία, έστω στοιχειώδη εναλλακτική. Έχει να κάνει κυρίως με το νέο πονοκέφαλο που του έφεραν πρώην και νυν στελέχη της δεξιάς παράταξης, τα οποία άμεσα ή έμμεσα επικρότησαν την τραμπούκικη επίθεση κατά του Μπουτάρη. Και αυτό γιατί με τις δηλώσεις αυτές έβαλαν δυναμίτη (από την άκ

For Ecuador, currying favor with Washington is as simple as sacrificing Julian Assange

Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno has made no secret of his annoyance with the man he refers to a “hacker,” calling Assange “a stone in his shoe” as Ecuador seeks to restructure itself as a trusted ally of the United States. by Elliott Gabriel Part 2 - An attack on Assange’s mental health Sealed off from the internet, phone calls, or outside visitors, the 46-year-old Assange is now faced with deteriorating health, an inability to visit the hospital to treat chronic health maladies, and conditions usually suffered by those held in solitary confinement. Last August, Assange explained to The New Yorker that he suffers from bouts of anxiety and depression due to his isolation, often remaining awake for anywhere between 18 and 22 hours per day: “ The walls of the Embassy are as familiar as the interior of my eyelids … I see them, but I do not see them. ” Rafael Correa — the former president of Ecuador, who extended asylum to Assange in 2012 while the U.S., Britain and

Analyzed: The Western media's fear and loathing of Venezuela

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." – Noam Chomsky By Manmeet Sahni Part 5 - Questionable Statistics Moreover, the figures supporting Paez's argument in the Wall Street Journal simply don't add up. Joe Emersberger breaks them down in the Green Left Weekly: "According to a Colombian university study of Venezuelan migration to Colombia, it averaged about 47,000 per year from 2011–2014, then increased to 80,000 per year in 2015–16. "U.S. government data show migration from Venezuela to the United States increasing from about 7,000 per year before 2013 to 28,000 per year by 2015, including Venezuelans who have entered without authorization. "Between 2000 to 2013, the United States was the destination for about 30 percent of Venezuelan-born people who left to live abroad, according to the Wor

The European Financial Dictatorship in panic again, warms its machine for a second coup against Italy

How many more financial coups the European Financial Dictatorship is willing to orchestrate in order to maintain austerity and sado-monetarism inside the member-states? globinfo freexchange The Brussels/Berlin axis in the European Financial Dictatorship (eurozone) has put itself in alarm mode again, this time due to what appears to be a bigger threat for its iron, authoritarian model of austerity and sado-monetarism. The threat comes from the new eurosceptic coalition government in Italy, formed by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement and the anti-immigrant Northern League. The European Vice President, Valdis Dombrovskis, rushed to launch an indirect threat against the new coalition in Italy, saying that " We view it as important that the Italian government remains on course in pursuing a responsible budget policy, " and " We can only advise it to stay on course in terms of economic and fiscal policies, to stimulate growth thro

Facebook partners with hawkish Atlantic Council, a NATO lobby group, to “protect Democracy”

Facebook is hoping that a new alliance with the Atlantic Council — a leading geopolitical strategy think-tank seen as a de facto PR agency for the U.S. government and NATO military alliance – will not only solve its “fake news” and “disinformation” controversy, but will also help the social media monolith play “a positive role” in ensuring democracy on a global level. The new partnership will effectively ensure that Atlantic Council will serve as Facebook’s “eyes and ears,” according to a company press statement. With its leadership comprised of retired military officers, former policymakers, and top figures from the U.S. National Security State and Western business elites, the Atlantic Council’s role policing the social network should be viewed as a virtual takeover of Facebook by the imperialist state and the council’s extensive list of ultra-wealthy and corporate donors. The partnership is only the latest in a steady stream of announced plans by the Menlo Pa
