Various scenarios for the national elections in Greece

A crucial point for Greece and Europe

by system failure

After the third vote in the Greek parliament for the presidential election (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/breaking-greece-towards-national.html), Greece walks towards national elections, as the government failed to collect the 180 MP votes required. In the next short period until the national elections day, we should expect an unprecedented propaganda war which will be launched by the global financial mafia mechanisms inside Greece and abroad.

All recent polls show that the Leftist party SYRIZA wins, for the moment, but it is rather doubtful whether will manage to take the required percentage to form an autonomous government.

Some possible scenarios follow briefly:

Scenario 1:

SYRIZA forms an autonomous government, or, a coalition with the help of the parties of the anti-austerity front. It will be the worse scenario for the global financial mafia as it could trigger an "uncontrolled" general rise of the Left in Europe. In this case, the banking-media dictatorship in Greece will declare war against the new government, try to destabilize it, and throw it from power as soon as possible.

Scenario 2:

SYRIZA will not gather the required percentage to form an autonomous government. As the options are limited in the political anti-austerity front, it may be forced to cooperate with the Socialists (PASOK), which may be presented with a more populist profile to persuade that they start to abandon neoliberal ideology, and the River party, which is clearly a creation of the media to attract voters from the Left. These systemic parties will try to control as much as possible the coalition so that some basic "achievements" of the Greek experiment will not be threatened. Subsequently, these parties may be used to destabilize the government by breaking the coalition.

Scenario 3:

Neither the neoliberal nor the anti-neoliberal front will be able to form government. In that case, the political dead end through repeated elections may give the suitable excuse to see a technocratic government by banking puppets, which will be presented as the only viable solution. This sub-experiment has already been tested in Greece and Italy through the banking puppets Papademos and Monti. This "solution"-parameter in the Greek experiment could be proved a dangerous threat to European parliamentary democracy, as may be used in other countries in times of political crises, becoming permanent practice and finally, establishing definitely the sovereignty of the plutocrats against the majority.

Scenario 4:

The unprecedented propaganda of destruction launched by the global financial mafia mechanisms inside Greece and abroad, during the short period until the elections in 25 January, manages to persuade a critical mass of the indecisive electorate to vote for "stability". Therefore, New Democracy takes the lead marginally and manages to form a new coalition government. Another alternative based on this scenario: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/12/latest-from-greek-front-nightmare.html

This could be proved a real nightmare as the new neoliberal government will have now plenty of time to implement every aspect of the experiment in Greece, or even, try new sub-experiments under the orders of troika. This would mean that people are not willing to resist and the experiment may be expanded throughout Europe. It will probably mark the start of the new global Feudalism era.


ECB will be used as a tool to drive Europe into the desirable federalization with the characteristics of an empire (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/11/the-enee-sadism.html), rather than of a democratic federation. Scenario 3 will be probably the most suitable for the "emperor" Draghi to proceed towards this direction, as he has already the control inside eurozone through a decision taken more than two years ago: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2012/09/lea-jacta-est-by-emperor-draghi.html

Especially in the case of scenario 1, the ECB will blackmail the government by threatening that will not purchase government bonds, therefore cut liquidity, in case that Greece choose a different path towards the reconstruction of the social state and labor rights, bringing minimum wage at pre-crisis levels, etc.

However, the system shows signs of panic, which means that the European officials don't know exactly how SYRIZA will react. In case that SYRIZA has a secret agenda, and be pressed by the lenders beyond red lines, it could nationalize the central bank and return to the national currency, blowing up eurozone. This could bring a disaster to the plutocrats' plans, as may trigger the domino of other Leftist European parties to follow SYRIZA's example and drive Europe towards the direction of the real democracy and unification under different terms for the benefit of the majority.

Everything will depend on whether people will choose to fight instead of surrender to the "empire".

  1. "In case that SYRIZA has a secret agenda, and be pressed by the lenders beyond red lines, it could nationalize the central bank and return to the national currency"

    I doubt SYRIZA will do that. Though I hope I am wrong.
    The only one that will leave the Eurozone and E.U is Dimitris Kazakis and EPAM.

  2. I expect a combination of 2 and 3, with SYRIZA forming a coalition with PASOK or To Potami. The establishment will use this party to pressure SYRIZA into towing the neoliberal line. At that point there are a few possibilities, they could be bullied into continuing austerity and split up internally, they could call the other party's bluff and try to govern as a minority government with communist support, or they could go to new elections to argue for a new majority. If SYRIZA succeeds in governing effectively in the face of external pressure and uses its position in government to tear apart the remnants of the Greek political establishment, the military might step in and impose a more grim scenario #3. I don't think anyone really wants a coup, but there is a chance for things to really spin out of control.

    1. Another more optimistic one: SYRIZA survives from the war, the lenders retreat to some extend because they don't know what will happen and the government manages to take some of the declared measures to relieve the poorest. This will give the necessary time for the other European Leftist parties to prepare and rise in power. After that, everything is possible.

State surveillance and court cases: The lonely fight for press freedom of Greece’s independent media

by Alessio Giussani   Part 1  A new ecosystem of small, independent organisations is bringing a breath of transparent, in-depth reporting into the Greek media landscape but their work is being hindered by costly court cases and the threat of state surveillance. This comes as media freedom is continuing to decline in Greece. The country ranked 108th out of 180 countries in Reporters Without Borders’ 2022 Press Freedom Index — the worst-performing European country, triggering a furious response by the authorities. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis dismissed the ranking as " crap ", adding: “ We have a vibrant press, you can read everything you want in Greece ." Nikolas Leontopoulos, an editor at Reporters United, sees it differently: " We do have freedom of opinion, but there are some very sensitive issues that don’t even make it to the news ”. Until recently, at least. Source, links: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/02/20/state-surveillance-and-court-cases-th

European antiwar protests gain strength as NATO’s Ukraine proxy war escalates

Europeans are storming the streets in unprecedented numbers to protest NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine and their own declining living standards. The Grayzone has covered demonstrations and interviewed protest leaders in several countries since the war erupted.   by Stavroula Pabst and Max Blumenthal   Part 1   This February 21, several thousand Greeks filled Athens’ streets to denounce NATO and the United States in the wake of Antony Blinken’s Greece visit, where the US Secretary of State applauded the Mediterranean country for being amongst the first European countries to support Ukraine, thus leading to way for “ the support of democracy. ” It was just one action among many protest actions across the continent as the NATO proxy conflict in Ukraine approached  its first anniversary. European citizens are growing agitated as their leaders appear set on extending the war at least another year: they’ve approved several rounds of sanctions on Russia, provided billions of euros in assistance t

State surveillance and court cases: The lonely fight for press freedom of Greece’s independent media

by Alessio Giussani   Part 2 - Greek 'mafia' and 'Watergate' Athens-based investigative outlet Reporters United disclosed in January that a high-ranking police officer had been promoted while being investigated in a corruption case called “Greek Mafia” – something journalists in the field had known for a long time, Leontopoulos claimed. It was not the only time a major story remained unreported for months. At the beginning of 2022, Reporters United revealed that a controversial change in the law on the privacy of communications had been made nine months earlier. The amendment, introduced last minute into a pandemic containment bill, prevented citizens from being informed if they had been placed under state surveillance for national security reasons. At the time, the wiretapping scandal that later became known as “Greek Watergate” was yet to emerge. “ Many jurists and well-networked journalists had known about the amendment for months, and we found out some had even info

Revealed: the hacking and disinformation team meddling in elections

     ‘Team Jorge’ unit exposed by undercover investigation     Group sells hacking services and access to vast army of fake social media profiles     Evidence unit behind disinformation campaigns across world     Mastermind Tal Hanan claims covert involvement in 33 presidential elections   by Stephanie Kirchgaessner, Manisha Ganguly, David Pegg, Carole Cadwalladr and Jason Burke Part 3 - ‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’ No less alarming were Hanan’s demonstrations of his team’s hacking capabilities, in which he showed the reporters how he could penetrate Telegram and Gmail accounts. In one case, he brought up on screen the Gmail account of a man described as the “ assistant of an important guy ” in the general election in Kenya, which was days away. “ Today if someone has a Gmail, it means they have much more than just email, ” Hanan said as he clicked through the target’s emails, draft folders, contacts and drives. He then showed how he claimed to be able to access accounts on T

West is out of touch with rest of world politically, EU-funded study admits

Geopolitical Economy Report   A study by the elite EU-funded European Council on Foreign Relations found that the West is increasingly out of touch politically with the rest of the world. Most people in China, India, and Türkiye see Russia as an important ally, and they want multipolarity, not continued “ American global supremacy ”. 

Revealed: the hacking and disinformation team meddling in elections

     ‘Team Jorge’ unit exposed by undercover investigation     Group sells hacking services and access to vast army of fake social media profiles     Evidence unit behind disinformation campaigns across world     Mastermind Tal Hanan claims covert involvement in 33 presidential elections   by Stephanie Kirchgaessner, Manisha Ganguly, David Pegg, Carole Cadwalladr and Jason Burke Part 2 - The undercover footage Given their expertise in subterfuge, it is perhaps surprising that Hanan and his colleagues allowed themselves to be exposed by undercover reporters. Journalists using conventional methods have struggled to shed light on the disinformation industry, which is at pains to avoid detection. The secretly filmed meetings, which took place between July and December 2022, therefore provide a rare window into the mechanics of disinformation for hire. Three journalists – from Radio France, Haaretz and TheMarker – approached Team Jorge pretending to be consultants working on behalf of a p

Day 1415: 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

US hegemony and its perils

Report by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China   Part 1 - Introduction Since becoming the world's most powerful country after the two world wars and the Cold War, the United States has acted more boldly to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, pursue, maintain and abuse hegemony, advance subversion and infiltration, and willfully wage wars, bringing harm to the international community. The United States has developed a hegemonic playbook to stage "color revolutions," instigate regional disputes, and even directly launch wars under the guise of promoting democracy, freedom and human rights.    Clinging to the Cold War mentality, the United States has ramped up bloc politics and stoked conflict and confrontation. It has overstretched the concept of national security, abused export controls and forced unilateral sanctions upon others. It has taken a selective approach to international law and rules, utilizing or discarding them as

Nordstream blame game begins

The Grayzone   Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the controlled leaks aiming to deflect blame for the Nordstream attacks onto "pro-Ukrainian" elements, the failed attempt by Republican populists and Democratic progressives to withdraw US troops from Syria, and the dramatic congressional Twitter files hearing.  

How America took out the Nord Stream pipeline

The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret—until now   by Seymour Hersh   Part 3 - THE OPERATION   Norway was the perfect place to base the mission. In the past few years of East-West crisis, the U.S. military has vastly expanded its presence inside Norway, whose western border runs 1,400 miles along the north Atlantic Ocean and merges above the Arctic Circle with Russia. The Pentagon has created high paying jobs and contracts, amid some local controversy, by investing hundreds of millions of dollars to upgrade and expand American Navy and Air Force facilities in Norway. The new works included, most importantly, an advanced synthetic aperture radar far up north that was capable of penetrating deep into Russia and came online just as the American intelligence community lost access to a series of long-range listening sites inside China. A newly refurbished American submarine base, which had been under construction
