Cold War 2.0: Clouds of war above the Asia-Pacific

The clouds of war are gathering dangerously above the Asia-Pacific and Washington's "hawks" are responsible for this. Numerous reports show that the US are trying to open a new front in the region, as they see China threatening their global domination.

The Ukraine crisis, the anti-missile system in Eastern Europe and the relocation of a large part of the US naval forces to the Asia-Pacific are only a few indications showing that the US neocon strategy is to surround and break the Sino-Russian bloc, attempting to destroy its rapid rise in the military level and its increasing independency in the economic level.

The plan of the global financial mafia for Greece confirmed

“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.”

Mélenchon: Greece was transformed into a financial lab

"When Tsipras won, I met Hollande to defend the case of the Greeks. I told him: If we allow to act against them, France will be next. Essentially, they already treat us like the Greeks ... ".

This is what Jean-Luc Mélenchon, candidate with the Left Front in the French presidential election of 2012, points in an interview to «Humanite» on the occasion of his book. As Melanson says, a strong motivation to write the book «Le Hareng de Bismarck», through which defends Greece, is the way that SYRIZA and the new Greek government treated.

Mr. Mélenchon states he is outraged by the Berlin attitude, but also with the reluctance of the French President, François Hollande, to show solidarity to Greece.

"It's a heavy political mistake against the European ideal to be allowed such a behavior against a member state of the EU ' notes, observing that Greece was turned into a financial laboratory and that is used as an example to show "how to deal with those who resist."

The French Leftist leader adds: "The behavior of Berlin does not find support anywhere and the Germanophobia erupts everywhere in Europe." He notes that another reason that prompted him to write this book was to refute the idea of the financial "one-way".

Controlled default without Grexit: A silent, slow death for Greece

As we approach the end of the four-month truce period between the Greek government and the institutions (ECB, IMF, European Commission), the battle between Greece and the lenders is getting tougher, as expected. Not only Greece, but also the eurocrats appear to be in a difficult position, with limited options under sensitive balances for them.

A non-option for the "emperor" Draghi would be to release his massive Quantitative Easing for Greece too, in order to avoid further dangerous uncertainty. Currently, the QE program is directed to all eurozone members except from Greece which must be "punished" for not obeying anymore to the catastrophic neoliberal policies under the new government. This case would be catastrophic for the plans of the financial and corporate lobbyists, as it would signal to the other members that they could abandon austerity without consequences.

...

The plan shows that the elites want to lead Greece quietly back to the path of the slow death in order to secure the final conditions in the Greek experiment. They have limited options and they fear that many things could go wrong. Tsipras should take advantage of this fact and prepare the country for Grexit, if he hasn't done it already.

Greece: Suspicions that the central bank undermines government!

A report by the efsyn newspaper revealing subversive leaks by the Governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, to particular media, caused strong turbulences in the political and banking system. Specifically, the letter from the press office of Mr. Stournaras to a known journalist, entitled "The account of 100 days," attempts to present the image of an already bankrupt country before any discussion about a possible default.

For its part, the government underlined that if the report is correct it would be a blow against the independence of the Bank of Greece, and asked from the leadership of the Bank to deny the information. Government sources said that, otherwise, the Bank of Greece should initiate accountability procedures in order to stop some people inside the Bank to undermine the government in such a critical time for the country. Thereby, they opened the debate for removing Yannis Stournaras.
