Another plutocratic castle to fall in Europe

Podemos and the other anti-austerity forces in Spain will push plutocrats towards their limited options

by system failure

It is almost certain that the results in the recent regional elections in Spain activated another alarm and brought further anxiety to the European neoliberal economic empire. The governing Popular Party (PP) and the Socialists lost significant power, while Podemos and the anti-austerity parties in the Left of the political spectrum "have the prestige of holding power in Barcelona, and could form a coalition to rule in the Spanish capital." (podemos-are-coming) This was certainly a political earthquake that hit Spain's political establishment.

It would be worth to remember that Greece has gone through a similar path. The Leftist party, SYRIZA, marked a clear victory in the euro-elections and a significant rise in the regional elections, held at the same period. Although SYRIZA lost in most of the 13 regions, the party managed to win the most populous (Attica) and prevail also in the Ionian Islands. (Greek_local_elections,_2014) Less than a year later, SYRIZA managed to win the national elections and form a coalition government.

The German political elite and the Brussels bureaucrats have every reason to worry about the situation in Spain, as the country could follow the Greek path during the national elections in December. However, the plutocratic puppets have limited options to react against the next Leftist "threat" and prevent a potential domino (europe-get-ready-for-war) which could be proved disastrous for their plans.

As already analyzed in previous article, it seems that the only option available for the eurocrats concerning Greece, is to impose a kind of controlled default without Grexit (controlled-default-without-grexit). However, neither this scenario would be an easy case for Brussels and Berlin. The Greek government has shaped a clear stance and declared that it will pay pensions and salaries rather than the next IMF dose of the loan, in case that the lenders insist on further catastrophic austerity and cuts in order to provide liquidity.

Additionally, the most radical part of SYRIZA speaks now openly about their willing to confront the lenders directly, break the negotiation process and prepare for the return to a national currency. During the recent SYRIZA party conference, the radical part has lost only to a few votes against what has been decided, which is to keep the negotiation process alive, without, however, the government to retreat on basic red lines.

The mainstream media in Greece started to circulate scenarios about possible national elections soon. The systemic parrots try to set pre-determined conditions for SYRIZA, by bringing back the "list" possibility. According to this, Alexis Tsipras will form a specific list with the names of the moderate part of his party to be elected, excluding those who belong to the most radical. This would be probably a faster and cleaner way for the neoliberal establishment to transform SYRIZA into a centre-left social democratic party (the-plan-of-global-financial-mafia), therefore "drowning" the possibility of a general rise of the Left in Europe.

However, it would be not so easy to do it in such a short time until the Spanish national elections. If SYRIZA manage to stay united and alive against the propaganda war until then, plutocrats will start losing control over their financial empire. Europe will be ready to make a big turn, and leave behind the dangerous path towards the new Feudalism.

Protesters Stalk & Confront Israeli Minister Through NY Streets!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is also a convicted terrorist and Jewish supremacist, has been touring the US, speaking on college campuses and meeting with political groups, and he even traveled to Mar-a-Lago. His visit has been met with widespread protests, however. Ben Gvir was confronted by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in New Haven, Connecticut, following a speech he gave at Shabtai, a private Jewish society at Yale that’s not officially affiliated with the university. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Ben-Gvir’s security detail was able to assault protesters with impunity — and that in fact police officers approach an assaulted protester to demand that he step away from Ben-Gvir’s group.

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

Το νέο ψευδοδίλημμα που κατασκεύασε το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη για να κρατηθεί στην εξουσία

του system failure   Ένα από τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά ενός καθεστώτος, είναι η έκδηλη αγωνία του να διατηρήσει την εξουσία. Ως απόρροια αυτής της προσπάθειας, είναι και ο σχεδόν απόλυτος έλεγχος της μαζικής (παρα)πληροφόρησης, δηλαδή, ότι ακριβώς κάνει το καθεστώς Μητσοτάκη.   Η αγωνία αυτή είναι φανερή και σε άλλους καθεστωτικούς μηχανισμούς, όπως οι εταιρίες δημοσκοπήσεων, που πασχίζουν να εμφανίσουν μια εικόνα ανάκαμψης για το καθεστώς, προκειμένου να διαμορφώσουν, ως συνήθως, το επιθυμητό κλίμα. Τελευταία, τα καθεστωτικά προπαγανδιστικά φερέφωνα, έχουν κατασκευάσει ένα νέο ψευδοδίλημμα, στοχεύοντας τον μέσο Έλληνα ψηφοφόρο και την ανάγκη του να νιώσει ασφάλεια, σε όλα τα επίπεδα.  Και για να συμβεί αυτό, έπρεπε προηγουμένως να κατασκευάσουν ένα ανερχόμενο αντίπαλο δέος απέναντι στον Μητσοτάκη, που όμως θα τρόμαζε τους, επιρρεπείς στις απότομες πολιτικές αλλαγές, "νοικοκυραίους". Και το βρήκαν στο πρόσωπο της Ζωης Κωνσταντοπούλου και την Πλεύση Ελευθερίας. Είναι σ...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

Google Imports Ex Israeli Spies, The Genocide Resumes, Cruel Britannia

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

Every Day The Gaza Holocaust Continues, The Empire Tells The Truth About Itself

Caitlin Johnstone   We do not live in a free society that is guided by truth and morality. We live under the most murderous and tyrannical power structure on the face of this planet. And we should distrust everything about it. That's what they're showing us with the Gaza holocaust. More and more people are opening their eyes to it every day.      Related:   Time for the anti-imperialist powers to take the keys of the planet from the declining and morally bankrupt West
