A country surrounded by "propaganda frequencies"

NERIT officially a tool for governmental propaganda in Greece

After the announcement of the Greek Council of State, through which the propaganda campaign by the banking-media dictatorship in Greece was officially confirmed especially during the latest years of crisis (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/greece-media-propaganda-officially.html), a letter from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to the Greek PM, Antonis Samaras, essentially confirms the intention of the neoliberal government to transform the supposedly public broadcaster, NERIT, into a basic tool of governmental propaganda, always for the benefit of the banking-media dictatorship.

Therefore, this is an official confirmation that Greece is surrounded by "propaganda frequencies" which are trying to erase every independent voice against the plans of the government-puppet, whose mission is to complete the Greek experiment and therefore attempts to stay in power by any means.

It would be useful to remember that, almost a year ago, EBU has chosen to stop its support to the free Hellenic Public Broadcaster (ERT) after has been shut down dictatorially by the government, in order to support the governmental creation of DT later renamed as NERIT. After a year, probably realized what this government tries to do:

Additionally, public broadcaster will be fully controlled by any government. Therefore, it will become the tool of the ultimate propaganda and misinformation, or, will be closed permanently since the neoliberal dictatorship puppets will downgrade it at the maximum level.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/08/ebu-stops-its-support-to-hellenic.html)

A characteristic part of the recent EBU letter to the Greek PM:

... last year's Law 4173/2013 on NERIT introduced a number of important safeguards to protect the public service broadcaster from undue political influence, and the rules on the appointment of the members of the Supervisory Council were a key part of them. Interestingly, the recent judgment of the Greek Court of Cassation rejecting the action for annulment of the joint ministerial decision ordering ERT's closure was also partly based on this promise.

[...]

We are now surprised and disappointed that these rules have been changed virtually overnight, without proper public consultation and debate, and without considering best practice in Europe with regard to legal safeguards to ensure an independent and pluralistic composition of public service broadcasters' supervisory bodies.”

Israel’s Descent Into Madness & the Holocaust Comparison

BreakThrough News   Rania Khalek was joined by Tarik Cyril Amar, a historian from Germany and associate professor at Koc University in Istanbul, to discuss Israel’s descent into genocidal fascism. Prof. Amar addresses whether it’s useful to make Holocaust and Nazi comparisons and the real reason behind the West’s unshakeable loyalty attitude when it comes to Israel’s barbarism.   

Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza

globinfo freexchange   As the genocide against Palestinians of Gaza is about to be completed with an act of unprecedented brutality by the Zionists and butcher Netanyahu through the bombardment of about 1.4 million civilians in Rafah, it seems that they have already set their next primary goal. Which, in short, is to grab the natural gas resources off shore Gaza, together with their US imperialist buddies whose contribution to the genocide has been undoubtedly critical.     As already reported , in 2007, Hamas came to power and Israel launched an offensive on Gaza Strip, leaving behind 1,400 dead Palestinians, but taking with it the gas fields. Within a year, Israel announced the discovery of the Leviathan natural gas field, which did include Gaza's riches, valued at 453 billion dollars. But Gazans have been denied around 47 billion dollars in revenue. As for Tel Aviv, it's gunning to become a new hub. At that moment in time, that is 2022, Russian oil and gas were sanctioned.

Σταματάει έτσι και η όποια σε βάθος διερεύνηση για την τσιμεντοποίηση του χώρου και την απόπειρα συγκάλυψης της τραγωδίας.

του system failure   Τα αποτελέσματα των εκλογών της 25ης Ιουνίου ήταν λίγο-πολύ αναμενόμενα όσον αφορά τις πρώτες θέσεις με βάση και τα αποτελέσματα της πρώτης κάλπης του Μαίου. Αν συμπεριλάβουμε και το ποσοστό της αναμενόμενης αποχής, δεν μας έδωσαν κάποια ιδιαίτερη έκπληξη. Αυτό όμως που φαίνεται να αιφνιδίασε ακόμα και το συστημικό κατεστημένο, είναι η είσοδος των δύο υπερσυντηρητικών, ακροδεξιών κομμάτων Νίκη και Σπαρτιάτες, με το τελευταίο να έχει ξεκάθαρες διασυνδέσεις με τον πρώην Χρυσαυγίτη, Ηλία Κασιδιάρη. Παρά τη μεγάλη νίκη Μητσοτάκη, οι μιντιακοί ινστρούχτορες της καθεστωτικής προπαγάνδας εμφανίστηκαν σε γενικές γραμμές "μουδιασμένοι" και αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι το συστημικό κατεστημένο (δηλαδή τα μεγάλα οικονομικά συμφέροντα που ελέγχουν και το σύνολο των μεγάλων ΜΜΕ πανελλαδικής εμβέλειας), πέτυχε μόνο έναν από τους τέσσερις μεγάλους στόχους που είχε θέσει εξ'αρχής. Μιλώντας με ποδοσφαιρικούς όρους, ουσιαστικά έχασε με σκορ 3-1.   Ο μεγάλος στόχος πο

The Shadowy, Intelligence-Linked Group Driving the US Towards War With Iran

"United Against Nuclear Iran does not miss an opportunity to try to bring the United States closer to a military conflict with Iran. And on the other side of the equation, they also have worked very hard to oppose efforts to de-escalate the U.S.-Iran relationship."   by Alan Macleod   Part 7 - A Lesson From History   The history of Iran has been intimately intertwined with the United States since at least 1953 when Washington orchestrated a successful coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh had refused U.S. demands to stamp out Communist influences in his country and had nationalized the nation’s oil. The U.S. installed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a puppet ruler. An unpopular and authoritarian ruler, the Shah was overthrown in the Revolution of 1979. Since then, it has become a target for regime change, and its nuclear program is something of an obsession in the West. Often orchestrated by UANI officials while they were in government, the U.S. has carried
