The system launches another major attack on Greece

Special target: The popular acceptance of Tsipras administration

by system failure

The new narrative by the mainstream media in Greece and abroad, is that the coalition government of the Leftist party, SYRIZA, is actually fully retreated to the eurocrats and the German leadership when actually the opposite has happened. The propaganda is so intense that the Greek government officials find very difficult to tell the real stories behind every distortion. Only a tiny example, was the false information according to which the current FinMin, Yanis Varoufakis, was about to be replaced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Yannis Dragasakis, in the negotiations with the lenders. Several mainstream media implied that this was done after lenders' demand, as Dragasakis is presented being more experienced and moderate. Dragasakis immediately denied it.

The target of this false information flow was double. The first target was to enhance the impression that the Greek government retreats in lenders' demands not only in the level of the agreement terms, but also in the level of the choice of negotiators. The second target was to break the solid front inside the Greek government, which is being tested already by the Left platform, the section of MPs which are closer to the radical Left.

Not only the Greek government managed to take a four-month truce to prepare better for a Grexit, but it's been done with totally different terms compared to the timeline that has been set for the "successful" completion of the Greek experiment. Remember, some key elements of the final schedule according to the experiment, was the sell-off of the public property in a Treuhand-type operation (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/04/official-merkel-wants-treuhand-for.html), the further shrinking of the minimum wage at 300 euros, and further reduction of pensions, as well as, social state. The system launched a propaganda war to help Samaras stay in power and complete the experiment, while Tsipras recently revealed the dirty war by the conservative powers in Europe to destabilize his government. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/03/tsipras-european-conservative-forces.html)

The biggest achievement of the Varoufakis list (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/varoufakis-list-significant-for.html), is that contains a separate section related to the humanitarian crisis which means that the lenders officially accepted that the previous program actually failed. The government already proceeded in actions to vote a bill for the humanitarian crisis, vote for the re-opening of the public broadcaster (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/06/june-11-2013-neoliberal-dictatorship.html), while there are also some moves towards the audit of the public debt. Privatizations in major sectors like energy and water supply networks have been postponed.

Inside the new narrative, the system tries to pass the impression that the Troika has returned to Greece, which is quite far from reality. This picture of medium-level officials with the arrogant style, who were coming and telling ministers what to do, is finished. Most importantly, the officials of the new Greek government show that they know very well what's been happening so far, and they will not tolerate such a situation anymore. A characteristic example, is a statement made by the current Greek Foreign Minister, Nikos Kotzias, in 2011, who revealed the real role of the Troika in Greece and was confirmed three years later by an official of Samaras administration: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/03/official-troika-in-greece-serves.html

Now, three major questions come up from all this situation. First, why the lenders finally retreated in Greece's new policy lines? Second, why they use such a type of propaganda, according to which the Greek government retreated, in the current moment? Third, who are the carriers of this propaganda??

The answer to the first question should be searched mostly among the political branch of the dominant system in Brussels. The most probable conclusion, is that the politicians deregulated the system to such an extent that in reality they have absolutely no clue what could happen in the case of a Greek "accident". Most of the possibilities of a final default inside the eurozone appear to be disastrous for their plans, as well as, the case of a Grexit. Therefore, to keep the same intransigent stance against the unknown X, which is the current Greek government, would be a huge risk.

The answer to the second question, is obviously that they don't want to signal to the rest of the eurozone members, who suffer from the cruel austerity measures, that they are going to retreat under pressure in case that a member will choose to reject their policies. Therefore, the only option would be to use a narrative according to which the Greek government is actually the one that has retreated. A part of this "operation" is the communicative game being played mostly by the Germans, who insist on the term Troika, especially when they give interviews and make statements to the mainstream media.

The answer to the third question, is that the main carriers are of course the mainstream media and the eurocrats who are completely controlled by the bankers and the lobbyists. Next to them, others who contribute to this propaganda are some market "anarchists" who have conveniently adjusted to the neoliberal domination and became hostile against any state taxation in the financial transactions, obviously because they make a lot of money. Also, there are some people who dogmatically stand against any government because they don't understand that a new government is not necessarily attached to the system of power. This system may fiercely fight any government that is a threat to its interests. Finally, people from the radical Left adopt such a perception simply because they don't believe in any compromise and consider every negotiation as a retreat.

So, the ultimate goal of the plutocrats, is to throw Tsipras administration into a kind of "hypnosis" and make it gradually and smoothly come closer to their lines, so that to be able to finish the experiment without risks. They use the necessary tools, blackmails (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/banksters-threaten-greece-through-ecb.html) and all kinds of tactics (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/euro-puppets-dirty-games-exposed.html). This is an operation that the dominant system actually started even before SYRIZA come to power (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/09/a-new-attempt-to-domesticate-left-in.html).

Meanwhile, they hope that the Greek government will be losing continuously its popularity in the Greek society because this is actually its strongest weapon. As long as the great majority of the Greek people show that they support government's actions, and, as long as we are getting closer to the Spanish national elections with Podemos precede the polls, the propaganda will becoming wilder.

On the other side, Tsipras should take advantage of the four-month truce, build the necessary coalitions and prepare for Grexit. Things may become more clear after his visit to Moscow in May ...

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.

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.

"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

The Invasion of Gaza's Resources Begins: Jared Kushner, the EU, Egypt & US

Richard Medhurst   Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son in law who previously tried to steal land in the Middle East from Arabs has said that Israel should empty the Gaza strip of civilians. He said that " Gaza's waterfront property could be very valuable ". He then proceeded to suggest ethnic cleansing: " move the people out and clean it [Gaza] up " Simultaneously, the transfer of billions of dollars from the European Union (7.4b EUR), the International Monetery Fund ($8b) and the United Arab Emirates ($32b) to Egypt: an attempt to buy Sisi's silence perhaps? The United States is also shipping 1000 troops and a firm "Fogbow", owned by a former CIA officer and USMC veteran, in order to build a pier in Gaza. These events do not seem like a coincidence. Medhurst explains why this relates to theft of gas and building of a canal in Gaza.   Related: Zionist and US imperialist criminals are about to grab the natural gas off shore Gaza
