Greece: Brussels bureaufascists' plans go well

globinfo freexchange

The new memorandum between Greece and its creditors was voted by the Greek parliament. However, the coalition government marked new losses falling below the psychological margin of 120 MPs (118). Concerning SYRIZA, 32 SYRIZA MPs voted "no", 11 voted "present".

According to governmental sources, Alexis Tsipras will request a procedural vote of motion of no confidence for the government after August 20.

The new national elections in Greece appear unavoidable, probably during September. Earlier, top SYRIZA MPs who belong to the radical part and voted "no", for the new agreement, indirectly declared their "divorce" with SYRIZA, among them, the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, Zoi Konstantopoulou and Panagiotis Lafazanis who declared a pan-Hellenic movement against the cruel memorandum.

Zoi Konstantopoulou tried to sustain all the democratic procedures in the Greek parliament, so that the Greek MPs could study what they would vote for. Unfortunatelly, the Greek parliament, under the euro-dictatorship pressure, rushed to vote for another "deal" which will lead the Greek economy to further recession.

It is characteristic that a short "civil war" took place between Konstantopoulou and SYRIZA MPs close to Tsipras' environment, who were pushing for a fast vote process for the new "deal" to be passed. The split of SYRIZA should be considered almost certain.

It appears that Brussels bureaufascists' plans evolve as they want:

In the script according to the eurozone, the expected ending is: Syriza splits; finance minister Varoufakis makes good his pledge not to sign a surrender and resigns. A government of the centre-left forms, with Alexis Tsipras now allied to the centrist Potami party and with tacit support from a liberal wing of the New Democracy party. Debt relief happens, but on the terms dictated by the lenders, and Syriza survives to complete its mutation into a centre-left social democratic party.

... the European bureaufascists studied SYRIZA's internal political “geography” very carefully, and one of the reasons that they insisted on catastrophic measures, fully aligned with the German leadership, was to remove the "annoying barrier" of the Left platform, according to the plan.


Update: Zoi Konstantopoulou during her speech in the parliament early this morning said "I won't defend the Prime Minister anymore ..."

  1. Greece HAS to exit the Eurozone. It can maybe become a member like the UK and other nations, but it HAS to regain its Monetary Sovereignty. The way things are looking the country will become a beggar in Europe what with forced asset sales and anything else it might normally use to pay its way.
    The Troika are straight out gangsters, with complicit banks. When one thinks all bank loans are just credit creation form this air, it's abit rich to insists real assets are used to pay back the principals when even the banks can't use that money. It just goes to writing down the principal which then is zeroed out of existence. So , Greece should repudiate all loan principals and negotiate only on the interest. because only the interest is what will be left with the banks anyway. There is NO moral obligation regarding bank borrowing in this age of credit creation of finance!

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.

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...

Trump's attempt to divide Russia & China is failing, badly

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the US divide-and-conquer strategy is failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations' victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that "China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history" and will "jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia".

From the United States to Europe, Criticizing Israel Is Becoming a Crime

by Kit Klarenberg     Part 2 - ‘Drastic Rise’   In a grave testament to the speed with which U.S.-based pro-Israel organizations, including several prominent Jewish advocacy groups, sought to capitalize on October 7 for their own purposes, two-and-a-half weeks after Palestinian fighters breached Gaza’s infamous apartheid walls, Republican lawmaker Mike Lawler proposed H.R. 6090, also known as the Antisemitism Awareness Act. Lawler is a major recipient of Israeli lobby funds, with the influential lobbying group AIPAC gifting him $392,669 in 2023 and 2024 alone, his largest donor by some margin. His bill would require the Department of Education to consider the highly controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism (which critics argue conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism) when determining if cases of harassment are motivated by antisemitism, raising concerns that it would violate the intent of Title VI of the...

Is US dollar dominance at risk?

Al Jazeera English   The greenback has depreciated against other major currencies since Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Investors are worried that Trump's tariffs could cause a recession in the United States, and they have rushed to the exit. Is the president bothered? Trump appears to be of two minds when it comes to his nation's currency. He wants a dominant dollar because it gives the US geopolitical leverage. But, he says, a weaker greenback spurs US manufacturing. Some economists say the president could devalue the dollar. His team has backed the idea of a "Mar-a-Lago Accord" to weaken it. BRICS countries are also decreasing their reliance on the dollar.    Related: Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

Why African Nations Should Lean Towards BRICS

In recent years, the BRICS group—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has risen as a formidable player in global affairs, positioning itself as an alternative to the Western-dominated geopolitical order   by Kungu Al-Mahadi Adam   Part 2 - Economic Opportunities A primary reason for African nations to deepen ties with BRICS is the substantial economic potential these countries offer. BRICS nations, especially China, have become major investors in Africa, driving infrastructure development, trade, and economic growth. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) exemplifies this commitment, with projects like the Mombasa-Nairobi railway in Kenya and the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway transforming transportation and trade across East Africa. These initiatives improve connectivity, create jobs, and boost local economies, offering tangible benefits to African populations. Beyond China, other BRICS members contribute significantly. Russia has expanded its footprint in Africa’s ...
