Banksters threaten Greece through the ECB as predicted

globinfo freexchange

Mario Draghi activated the threat of the ECB after the Greek government showed its determination against the supposed leaked demands of Berlin through Reuters. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/breaking-greek-gov-says-german.html) After the Germans tested the determination of the Greek government and realized that the Greeks are not joking, they sent the message to Draghi to activate banksters' trap called European Central Bank.

From ZH:

ECB’s Governing Council lifts current waiver of minimum credit rating requirements for marketable instruments issued or guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic.

Suspension is in line with existing Eurosystem rules, since it is currently not possible to assume a successful conclusion of the programme review.

The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) today decided to lift the waiver affecting marketable debt instruments issued or fully guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic. The waiver allowed these instruments to be used in Eurosystem monetary policy operations despite the fact that they did not fulfil minimum credit rating requirements. The Governing Council decision is based on the fact that it is currently not possible to assume a successful conclusion of the programme review and is in line with existing Eurosystem rules.

This decision does not bear consequences for the counterparty status of Greek financial institutions in monetary policy operations. Liquidity needs of Eurosystem counterparties, for counterparties that do not have sufficient alternative collateral, can be satisfied by the relevant national central bank, by means of emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) within the existing Eurosystem rules.


The dirty role of the ECB has been accurately predicted already since 2012, through the unlimited purchase of government bonds in eurozone:

... the ECB becomes a corresponding Fed in the European area, 'serving' the problematic economies that are excluded from the bond markets, through the print of new money. Therefore, the problematic economies will be loaded with more and more debt which the ECB, i.e. the largest private European banks will hold. Someone could argue that is not something new, since nations were facing huge debts in previous years, because they were indebted to banks through the excessive borrowing from the markets. But in this case, there is an important difference that makes things much worse: it is the cruel conditions imposed by the ECB to states that need to buy money. States that are excluded from markets, are now trapped within the neoliberal economic empire of the eurozone and will be forced to follow new austerity measures every time they need ECB to buy their bonds.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2012/09/lea-jacta-est-by-emperor-draghi.html)

In case that Greece will choose to continue the resistance, it is quite possible that the ECB mafia will cut funding of the Greek banks through the ELA mechanism so that to close all the doors of funding. This will produce further panic to the Greek banks' depositors, therefore, actually an artificial bank run.

The Greek government should activate immediately the last defence line, which is a plan for a smooth, as much as possible, exit from the euro, and return to national currency. (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/02/three-key-moves-new-greek-government.html)

The "battle of Greece" currently stands at a crucial point. In case that Greece surrender to the banksters eventually, the others will follow. The new feudalism will be a fact: “We will start with Italy and Spain. We will order rating agencies to attack, exclude them from markets and throw them to the ECB trap. They will be forced to take similar measures, as Greece did, in order to receive liquidity. Then, we will attack France and Germany.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/12/an-imaginary-dialogue-between-bosses.html)

Syria welcomed back into Arab League & US flips out

The Jimmy Dore Show   For more than a decade Syria under President Bashar al-Assad has been ostracized by most other Arab nations and excluded from the Arab League. But now that’s changed and Syria has been invited to re-join — a move that has left the United States apoplectic. But it seems that other member states don’t much care what the U.S. wants as they demonstrate an increasing willingness to thumb their noses at the globe’s declining superpower.  

Οι ολιγάρχες ετοιμάζουν την καρατόμηση Μητσοτάκη που θα ανοίξει το δρόμο σε μια κυβέρνηση ΝΔ-ΠΑΣΟΚ στα μέτρα τους

globinfo freexchange   Όπως είχαμε γράψει ήδη από τον Δεκέμβριο του 21, οι ολιγάρχες ξέρουν καλά ότι ο Μητσοτάκης δεν πρόκειται να πετύχει ξανά αυτοδυναμία σε επόμενες εκλογές, όποτε και αν γίνουν αυτές. Γι'αυτό και ετοιμάζονται για το Plan B, που είναι μια νέα συγκυβέρνηση ΝΔ-ΚΙΝΑΛ.  Τα σχέδια όμως χάλασαν, αφού η αποκάλυψη του μεγάλου σκανδάλου των υποκλοπών, με αρχι-υποκλοπέα τον Μητσοτάκη και έναν εκ των παρακολουθούμενων, τον Ανδρουλάκη, έκαψε το χαρτί συγκυβέρνησης ΝΔ-ΚΙΝΑΛ τουλάχιστον με τα σημερινά δεδομένα. Παρόλο που είναι βέβαιο ότι διάφοροι βαρόνοι-μνηστήρες της ηγετικής καρέκλας στη ΝΔ επιθυμούν διακαώς να ξεφορτωθούν τον Μητσοτάκη (και για τον λόγο ότι δεν θέλουν να τους συμπαρασύρει σε μια πιθανή εκλογική συντριβή), ο Μητσοτάκης κατάφερε να επιβιώσει ακόμα και μετά από δύο προτάσεις μομφής εναντίον του. Και αυτό γιατί πιθανόν να τους απειλεί με αποκάλυψη βρόμικων υποθέσεων που προέκυψαν από τις παρακολουθήσεις. Τώρα όμως οι μπλε βαρόνοι σε συνεργασία με τους ολιγάρ

Biden’s words on Russia & China come back to haunt him!

Outrageous, Preposterous, Disgusting: After 1500 days, Julian Assange is 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

A guide to understanding the hoax of the Century

Thirteen ways of looking at disinformation   by Jacob Siegel   Part 1 - Prologue: The Information War  In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy claimed that he had proof of a communist spy ring operating inside the government. Overnight, the explosive accusations blew up in the national press, but the details kept changing. Initially, McCarthy said he had a list with the names of 205 communists in the State Department; the next day he revised it to 57. Since he kept the list a secret, the inconsistencies were beside the point. The point was the power of the accusation, which made McCarthy’s name synonymous with the politics of the era. For more than half a century, McCarthyism stood as a defining chapter in the worldview of American liberals: a warning about the dangerous allure of blacklists, witch hunts, and demagogues. Until 2017, that is, when another list of alleged Russian agents roiled the American press and political class. A new outfit called Hamilton 68 claimed to have discovered hundre

Bombshell filing: 9/11 hijackers were CIA recruits

At least two 9/11 hijackers had been recruited into a joint CIA-Saudi intelligence operation that was covered up at the highest level, according to an explosive new court filing. by Kit Klarenberg Part 2 - ‘A 50/50 chance’ of Saudi involvement In 1996, Alec Station was created under the watch of the CIA. The initiative was supposed to comprise a joint investigative effort with the FBI. However, FBI operatives assigned to the unit soon found they were prohibited from passing any information to the Bureau’s head office without the CIA’s authorization, and faced harsh penalties for doing so. Efforts to share information with the FBI’s equivalent unit – the I-49 squad based in New York – were repeatedly blocked.   In late 1999, with “ the system blinking red ” about an imminent large-scale Al Qaeda terror attack inside the US, the CIA and NSA were closely monitoring an “ operational cadre ” within an Al Qaeda cell that included the Saudi nationals Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.

Greece: signs of a rigged election as the country officially enters a dark post-democracy

by system failure   The last four years with Kyriakos Mitsotakis in charge of Greece could be easily characterized as one of the worst periods in country's history since the fall of military junta in 1974.    From the beginning of his term, Mitsotakis took full control of the National Intelligence Service and the Athens News Agency. This was a first strong sign that his administration was about to be transformed eventually into a regime that would defy fundamental democratic principles.    Shortly after, Mitsotakis started to put his own people in key positions in Greece's national television and radio broadcaster. In this way, he managed to control the entire landscape of Greece's mainstream media as the big private TV stations that belong to the local oligarchs, did everything to bring him in power and fully support him to this day. Mitsotakis and his cabinet had also become the only option for the Brussels-Berlin directorate of the EU, as well as for the US imperialist b
