A significant win against multinational cartels in European market

The proposition of European Commission for the monopoly of multinationals on the seeds market was rejected by the EU parliament Yesterday, the European parliament has voted for the amendment submitted by the independent MEP Kriton Arsenis, for the rejection of the European Commission proposal to impose monopoly conditions for multinationals in the European seeds market through a legislation. As Arsenis stated on tvxs website, " De facto, this proposition has died. " This legislation would give the monopoly of seeds to multinationals resulting to the loss of traditional seeds. Specifically, Arsenis stated that " This legislation would set the conditions and obligations of the farmers on the seeds they should cultivate. The seeds should be written on lists in order to be used legally by a farmer. An expensive procedure would be promoted, not affordable by the farmers, thus biodiversity would be impossible to survive. This would only serve multinationals as t

Who is the "godmother"?

The Greek journalist, Stelios Kouloglou, reveals some interesting information about his recent documentary concerning Angela Merkel's life and political rise and action. Key parts from recent interviews globinfo freexchange The "godmother" is Merkel and the story of this film is about how an unknown physicist from East Germany who was not interested in politics, managed to become the queen of Europe and the most powerful woman in the world. The title came as an inspiration from the book of the German journalist Gertrud Höhler, who speaks in the movie and reveals impressive things. My research begins from Merkel's childhood and the German Democratic Republic where the present chancellor grew up and built her values and personality. Merkel has fully exploited the way of thinking of the system of power in East Germany, first to win the battle of leadership in the Christian-Democratic party and second, to dominate in Europe: power is everything, the me

End of an era for the West

The support of neo-nazis in Ukraine destroys the last pretexts and wakes up nightmares of the past by system failure It appears that, for at least six years now, the West is trapped in a situation of permanent recession, while there are many who predict new economic crises in the near future. As long as this situation continues, the true face of neoliberalism and the huge hypocrisy of the West become more and more clear. The neoliberal doctrine has been converted, a long time now, into a global dictatorship, which is revealing more and more its true face and seeks to expand its power in every corner of the world. The events in Ukraine have shown that, the big capital has no hesitation to ally even with the neo-nazis, in order to impose the new world order. This is not something new of course. The connection of Hitler with the German economic oligarchs, but also with other major Western companies, before and during the WWII, is well known. Besides, the history o

IMF's secret plan aims to force Greece adopt the complete neoliberal agenda

Mass layoffs and 36-monthly contracts without compensations According to "Eleftheros Typos" newspaper, the technical teams opened a new discussion for the changes in minimum wage and the representation of workers in declaring strikes. Another bill, which will open the door for contracts without any restrictions instead of current employment contracts, is about to pass. Troika and especially IMF are seeking to force the Greek government to vote for the whole neoliberal agenda concerning labor rights. Some dialogues between IMF and government officials are indicative of the pressure and persistence of IMF, especially concerning mass layoffs. IMF seeks to change monthly layoffs limits and will start by abolishing the authority of ministers to approve mass layoffs. Indicatively, the agenda contains, among other things, unlimited number of layoffs for businesses with working stuff above 300, considering some special criteria for each sector and

Official: Greece is the new "laboratory" of neoliberalism

" Martin [Schulz] will also tell us tomorrow that he is particularly interested on Greece, for the course of co-operation, because he knows that Greece is the real laboratory of the European crisis and the European future. Here, nearly everything is determined for the future and the reliability of Europe.

As the forces of the Left, as well as eurosceptics, appear that they have significantly strengthened in Greece and Europe, the systemic establishment promotes various political formations, like "Elia", "Potami" and the already failed "Movem

Η Ελλάδα και επισήμως το νέο "εργαστήριο" του νεοφιλελευθερισμού

" Ο Martin [Schulz] θα μας το πει και αύριο, ενδιαφέρεται ιδιαίτερα για την Ελλάδα, για την πορεία της συνεργασίας, γιατί ξέρει ότι η Ελλάδα είναι το πραγματικό εργαστήριο της Ευρωπαϊκής κρίσης και του Ευρωπαϊκού μέλλοντος. Εδώ κρίνονται όλα σχεδόν για το μέλλον και την αξιοπιστία της Ευρώπης. " ( http://news247.gr/eidiseis/politiki/venizelos_h_elia_exei_antoxh_xwris_aristerous_synthrhtismous_mias_myksoparthenhs_antilhpshs.2679369.html ) Αυτά είναι τα λόγια του προέδρου του ΠΑΣΟΚ Ε.Βενιζέλου κατά την ομιλία του στα πλαίσια της πανελλήνιας συνδιάσκεψης του νέου πολιτικού σχηματισμού "Ελιά", χθες. Καθώς οι δυνάμεις της Αριστεράς, αλλά και των ευρωσκεπτικιστών, μοιάζουν να έχουν ενισχυθεί σημαντικά σε Ελλάδα και Ευρώπη, το συστημικό κατεστημένο προωθεί πολιτικούς σχηματισμούς, όπως η "Ελιά", το "Ποτάμι" και η ήδη αποτυχημένη απόπειρα της "Κίνησης των 58", ως μια προσπάθεια κάλυψης του κενού που άφησε το κατα

Τέλος εποχής για τη Δύση

Η υποστήριξη των νεο-ναζί στην Ουκρανία καταργεί και τα τελευταία προσχήματα και ξυπνά εφιάλτες του παρελθόντος του system failure Φαίνεται ότι, εδώ και τουλάχιστον έξι χρόνια, η Δύση έχει εγκλωβιστεί σε μια κατάσταση μόνιμης ύφεσης, ενώ δεν είναι λίγοι εκείνοι που προβλέπουν και νέες οικονομικές κρίσεις στο άμεσο μέλλον. Όσο συνεχίζεται αυτή η κατάσταση, τόσο αποκαλύπτεται, όλο και πιο ξεκάθαρα, το πραγματικό πρόσωπο του νεοφιλελευθερισμού και η τεράστια υποκρισία της Δύσης. Το νεοφιλελεύθερο δόγμα έχει μετατραπεί εδώ και καιρό σε μια παγκόσμια δικτατορία, που δείχνει όλο και πιο πολύ το πραγματικό της πρόσωπο και που προσπαθεί να επεκταθεί σε κάθε σημείο του πλανήτη. Τα γεγονότα στην Ουκρανία έδειξαν ότι, το μεγάλο κεφάλαιο, προκειμένου να επιβάλει τη νέα τάξη πραγμάτων, δεν διστάζει να συμμαχήσει ακόμη και με τους νεο-ναζί. Αυτό δεν είναι βέβαια κάτι το καινούργιο. Είναι γνωστή η σχέση του Χίτλερ με τους οικονομικούς ολιγάρχες της Γερμανίας, αλλά και μ

Through the flyers, with the signature "national-socialist student movement of Komotini" announced that they will take action in the University. The Leftist student parties stated that the neo-nazis have used parts of Hitler's writings and that they signed as national-socialist student movement using the Ukrainian neo-nazis' symbol. They also stated that, neo-nazis around the world act through a very specific way, in darkness, from Pavlos Fyssas assassination to the torture of Ukrainian anti-fascists, and that, "... it is now the time, those who seek a political place in the University, Hitler's political descendants, to learn that we are determined not to give a minimum space to allow them poison our school with
