The early ending of the new political control?

by system failure

A new round of statements bombardment has started by the mainstream propaganda network in Greece and abroad. As expected, the propaganda will peak as we approach the day of the national elections in Greece. The major concern of the global financial mafia which pulls the strings of the Western puppet governments, is the possibility of a Leftist government in Greece that could put in danger the successful completion of the neoliberal experiment and its expansion.

What we've witnessed the last few days, is another operation of the politics of "absolute confusion". Statements of various sources – global mainstream media, European officials, German government representatives, newspapers and magazines - target mainly the Greek voters, in an effort to spread the confusion about what could happen in case that they choose new political powers (and especially from the Leftist spectrum), instead of the traditional powers that governed Greece for forty years now and fully adopted the neoliberal doctrine.

Latest example, statements by the European officials that there is no way of Grexit in any case, which are contradictory to articles supporting the high probability of a Grexit in case that voters will "dare" to vote for anti-neoliberal powers. On the top of that, some sources support that a Grexit could mark even the end of the eurozone, while others support the fact that the eurozone is now safe and stable even under the possibility of a Grexit.

What is really going on? There are three basic hypotheses:

First, we are dealing with a quite sophisticated, relatively new method of political control, according to which all mechanisms that actually belong to the same side, supply the public with controversial estimations, information and predictions, in order to confuse minds and create further uncertainty and fear, or even panic.

This could be proved very useful in the case of the Greek national elections, as it could make some critical mass of voters to deter the possibility of an autonomous Leftist government. Through this process, critical thought and independent decision could be abolished. The line between good and bad, right and wrong, almost vanishes. This method of political control is described by Adam Curtis in his short film: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/p/blog-page_1.html

Second, the system is deregulated in such a degree that no one is really certain of what could happen under specific events. In this case, we may have to deal with a global system that is driven to an increasing uncertainty, through an increasingly chaotic pattern.

Third, a combination of the previous hypotheses.

In a modern economic war, the narratives in the first case, could indeed be proved very useful. In fact, they have been successfully applied repeatedly during the last four years in Greece. The breaking of the middle class is only an example: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/05/middle-class-civil-war-in-greece-latest.html

However, the Greek experiment, eventually, turned out to be a failure in every aspect. The cruel neoliberal policies have left behind millions of devastated lives, but the economic indexes didn't improve at all. On the contrary, public debt rose, unemployment hit record high, as well as poverty and social exclusion.

In such an unstable, but technologically evolved financialized world, it's only a matter of a few zeros in a computer screen for a country to end up to default. The impact in peoples' lives, however, is real. The "brilliant minds" who designed the experiment in Greece are now in panic. They might pay for their arrogance and cruelty. They pulled the rope to the edge and broke it. It's not only their experiment in danger, but also this new method of political control - which they repeatedly used and is based on the absolute confusion and uncertainty - exactly because of the undeniable destruction they created.

    What do you think will be the consequences in the rest of euromediterranean countries? I have a feeling that the spark lit by Athens could expand to Rome, Madrid, Lisbon... And I surely hope it too. Thank you Greece for showing us we can break the chains, I'm italian, and I would love to be United with Greece, not with fucking Brussels.

    1. Thank you!

      Solidarity is the key. This is class war, not a war between the people of the European countries. Things are changing in the European south. If the Spanish people vote for Podemos and the Italian people bring the Left in power, then we have a good chance to spread the resistance across Europe. European people should unite and resist against plutocrats.

Day 1828: After five years, Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

Atlanta Police Violently Arrest Emory Students & Faculty to Clear Gaza Solidarity Encampment

Democracy Now!   As a wave of student protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continues to spread from coast to coast, schools and law enforcement have responded with increasing brutality to campus encampments.    One of the most violent police crackdowns took place at Emory University in Atlanta on Thursday, when local and state police swept onto the campus just hours after students had set up tents on the quad in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza as well as the planned police training center known as Cop City.    Police used tear gas and stun guns to break up the encampment as they wrestled people to the ground, and are accused of using rubber bullets. Among those arrested were a few faculty members.    Democracy Now! spoke with two of the arrested professors: Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department, and Emil’ Keme, professor of English and Indigenous studies. Also with Palestinian American organizer and medical student Umaymah Mohammad, who describes how Emory has repeat

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now!   As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police. The Palestine Congress was scheduled to be held for three days, but police stormed the venue as the first panelist spoke.    Germany's Interior Ministry had also banned some conference speakers from even entering the country, including Varoufakis, the Palestinian British surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah and the Palestinian researcher Salman Abu Sitta.    " This is not about protecting Jewish lives and Jews from antisemitism. It's all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice, " says Varoufakis.    Varoufakis speaks also about freeing Julian Assange and his new book Technofeudalism .      Related: Germany again on a dark path towards fascism

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale

Democracy Now!   Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University.    Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night.    Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. "In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university," says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. "The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network   Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam.    In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel.    TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California.
