Three years from the coup against Greece by the European Financial Dictatorship

globinfo freexchange Three years passed (July 5, 2015) since the European Financial Dictatorship through the European Central Bank (ECB) and its head Mario Draghi, was forced to proceed in an open financial coup against Greece. The start of current decade revealed the most ruthless face of a global neo-colonialism. From Syria and Libya to Europe and Latin America, the old colonial powers of the West tried to rebound against an oncoming rival bloc led by Russia and China, which starts to threaten their global domination. Inside a multi-polar, complex terrain of geopolitical games, the big players start to abandon the old-fashioned, inefficient direct wars. They use today other, various methods like brutal proxy wars , economic wars, financial and constitutional coups, provocative operations, 'color revolutions', etc. In this highly complex and unstable situation, when even traditional allies turn against each other as the global balances

IDF uses Gaza as a lab and showroom for new weapons and tech it plans to sell

Human rights campaigners claim that the Israeli army and defense corporations exploit the deadly Gaza protests to test and advertise hardware like drones, sniper rifles and 'smart' fences. " The Israeli military industry exploits the occupation of Palestine, and specifically the siege on Gaza, as an arena to battle-test, invest in, and innovate military technology to later be marketed to the international community based on their effectiveness on Palestinian civilians, " says the recent report penned by the 'Hamushim' human rights group, which campaigns against the occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The NGO is run by the Coalition of Women for Peace, an Israel-based group partnering with the Nobel Peace Prize-winning American Friends Service Committee. The Israeli defense industry has a history of marketing its products after violent clashes with the Palestinians, the report says, noting that the bloody 2014 Israeli-Gaza

EU states back provisional measures to limit steel imports

EU countries voted on Thursday in favor of provisional measures proposed by the European Commission to curb steel imports into the bloc, according to a Commission spokesman. The Commission has proposed a combination of a quota and a tariff to prevent a surge of steel imports, notably since the United States imposed levies on incoming steel and aluminum. “ This is intended to prevent the negative effects of trade diversion, but at the same time maintain traditional supply and effective competition on the EU market, ” the spokesman said. The quota would be a reflection of imports over recent years, with a 25-percent tariff set for volumes exceeding that amount, Reuters said, citing sources familiar with the proposal. https://www.rt.com/newsline/431811-eu-measures-steel-imports/

EU, UN & rights groups condemn Israel’s plan to bulldoze West Bank Bedouin village

The UN Human Rights Office and many European countries have slammed Israel’s decision to demolish a small Bedouin village in the occupied West Bank. Activists claim Israel wants to use the land to expand settlements. Israeli authorities have moved three bulldozers to Khan al-Ahmar, a Bedouin herding village in the West Bank, following a court’s ruling that declared the settlement illegal under Israeli law. The military already left a land confiscation notice there on Tuesday, local media reported. The Supreme Court approved the demolition in May. The village had been built without an Israeli permit, but Palestinians say they are impossible to obtain. Protests erupted at the village on Wednesday, descending into clashes with Israeli police. Two people were arrested and over 30 were injured, according to a Palestinian ambulance service. Full report: https://www.rt.com/news/431843-palestine-village-demolition-protest/

Εισβολή των ΗΠΑ στη Βενεζουέλα ζητούσε επίμονα ο Τραμπ

Σύμφωνα με στοιχεία που κυκλοφόρησαν αυτή την εβδομάδα από το Associated Press, σε συζητήσεις με τη στενή ομάδα συνεργατών του, ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ επίμονα ζητούσε μία εισβολή στη Βενεζουέλα. Δημόσια ο Τραμπ είχε μιλήσει για αυτό τον Αύγουστο του 2017, σχολιάζοντας «έχουμε πολλές επιλογές όσον αφορά τη Βενεζουέλα, μεταξύ των οποίων και μία στρατιωτική παρέμβαση, αν αυτό κριθεί απαραίτητο». Όμως, η έκφραση των ιδεών αυτών δεν περιορίζεται σε αυτή τη δημόσια δήλωση. Μια μέρα πριν, σε συνάντηση με την ομάδα του στο Λευκό Οίκο μιλούσε επανειλημμένα για το ενδεχόμενο εισβολής στη Βενεζουέλα. Εκπλήσσοντας τους συνεργάτες του, είχε ρωτήσει γιατί οι ΗΠΑ δεν θα μπορούσαν να παρέμβουν προκειμένου να απομακρύνουν την κυβέρνηση Μαδούρο από την εξουσία, δεδομένου ότι η οικονομική και πολιτική κατάρρευση της Βενεζουέλας ήταν μια απειλή για την περιοχή. Οι παρευρισκόμενοι στη συνάντηση προσπάθησαν να μεταπείσουν τον Ντόναλντ Τραμπ, τονίζοντας ότι μια στρατιωτική παρέμβασ

Τρία χρόνια από το πραξικόπημα Ντράγκι κατά της Ελλάδας

globinfo freexchange Η αρχή της τρέχουσας δεκαετίας αποκάλυψε το πιο αποκρουστικό πρόσωπο μιας παγκόσμιας νεο-αποικιοκρατίας. Από τη Συρία και τη Λιβύη ως την Ευρώπη και τη Λατινική Αμερική, οι παραδοσιακές αποικιοκρατικές δυνάμεις της Δύσης επιχείρησαν να ανακάμψουν ενάντια στο ανερχόμενο αντίπαλο μπλοκ, με επικεφαλής τη Ρωσία και την Κίνα, το οποίο απειλεί την παγκόσμια κυριαρχία τους. Μέσα σε ένα πολυ-πολικό και περίπλοκο πεδίο γεωπολιτικών συγκρούσεων, οι βασικοί παίκτες εγκαταλείπουν τους κλασσικούς και αναποτελεσματικούς ανοιχτούς πολέμους. Χρησιμοποιούν πλέον πολλές και διαφορετικές εναλλακτικές μεθόδους όπως, πόλεμοι δι'αντιπροσώπων (proxy wars), οικονομικοί πόλεμοι, οικονομικά και συνταγματικά πραξικοπήματα, επιχειρήσεις προβοκάτσιας, 'έγχρωμες επαναστάσεις', κ.λ.π.

Julia Salazar is looking to land the next blow against the New York Democratic machine

Progressive 'epidemic' about to spread rapidly in New York Julia Salazar, a candidate for the New York state Senate, was standing outside a barbershop in her North Brooklyn neighborhood one recent afternoon, when a barber looked up and saw her through the window. Squinting through the glass, he pointed to a “Salazar for Senate” sign on the wall of the shop, gestured in her direction, and mouthed, “That’s you?” She smiled. “That’s me.” The 27-year-old community organizer has become a recognizable name and face in the neighborhood thanks to an aggressive ground game in her challenge to eight-term incumbent Democratic state Sen. Martin Dilan. Salazar and scores of volunteers have blanketed the district collecting signatures to get her name on the ballot for the September 13 primary. Salazar, her campaign told The Intercept, plans to submit many times more than the requisite 1,000 signatures from registered Democrats in the district by the July 9 filing dea

US’ Iran regime-change plan: hit economy, orchestrate protests, engage MEK cult to chant “Democracy”

While the hard-hit Iranian economy is likely to continue reeling, driving more protesters into the streets, one shouldn’t mistake their pain for a desire to subject themselves to a totalitarian cult with hardly a fraction of the support enjoyed by the Shia clergy helming the Islamic Republic. by Elliott Gabriel Part 3 - The “Iranian Resistance” wags the dog in Washington In the U.S. capital, the group was enormously successful in its efforts to recruit an auxiliary brigade of highly influential top politicians to its cause. Even the far-right Washington Times, owned at the time by charismatic cult leader Reverend Sun Myung-Moon, issued glossy “special report” inserts hailing the militaristic group as the bringers of “freedom” to Iran. The publication included words of praise from Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the late Saudi Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), among many, many, others.

Free Assange

Last week, rallies in support of Julian Assange were held around the world. We participated in two #AssangeUnity events seeking to #FreeAssange in Washington, DC. This is the beginning of a new phase of the campaign to stop the persecution of Julian Assange and allow him to leave the Ecuadorian Embassy in London without the threat of being arrested in the UK or facing prosecution by the United States. by Kevin Zeese - Margaret Flowers Part 3 - Assange character assassination and embassy imprisonment Julian Assange made powerful enemies in governments around the world, corporate media, and big business because he burst false narratives with the truth. As a result, governments fought back, including the United States, Great Britain, and Sweden, which has led to Assange being trapped in the embassy of Ecuador in London for six years. The root of the incarceration were allegations in Sweden. Sweden’s charges against Assange were initially dropped by the chief prosecutor,

Brussels bureaufascists officially terminate the Greek experiment

globinfo freexchange We can now assume that the Greek experiment imposed by Greece's creditors (ECB, European Commission, IMF), has ended. After eight years of uninterrupted destruction, the euroclowns declared Greece a "normal country"! Greece is now "a normal country in the Eurozone" and does not need financial help from Brussels, according to European Finance Commissioner Pierre Moscovici who was in Athens on Tuesday. That's the same country that has been forced to enter the IMF program in 2010 with a national debt at 120% of GDP, and now, is going to exit the program at 180% of GDP, with the unemployment remaining at approximately the same record levels!   Behind this unprecedented parody, we can now assume that Greece's creditors took what they wanted: privatization of public property by brutal imposition for peanuts, destruction of the social state, demolition of the labour rights and complete deregulati
