well, I guess (it seems to me) that his idea is to reform the EU – the troika / the parlimentary and third branch (?) of the Eurozone. He doesn’t want to leave, he wants ‘change’…hmmm. good idea.
Amazing how he still wants to be shackled to his euromasters. I guess 25-50 years of austerity and to never have a chance to be competitive is what he likes. An orderly default is immediate debt relief. A devalued drachma can boost exports. A pivot to Eurasia guarantees sovereignty to Greece and a pipeline thru Thrace. But I guess this is what happens when a socialist attempts to strap on a pair of balls, he capitulates. Nigel Farage needs to be admired.
Tsipras is a U.S. agent. When will people understand that? Who did he call before the big euro summit, huh?
What European country is hurt most by the “sanctions against Russia?”
What European country has the most exposure to the Greek issue?
What countries did Stratfor say the U.S. must do everything in its power to make sure they don’t form an alliance?
Which European country is riddled with U.S. military bases?
In fact, that one European country’s interest is to drop the euro and turn towards Russia, but it is also governed by a U.S. agent that does not act in the interest of her people.
When are you guys going to put 2 and 2 together?
If that country joined the BRICS, then it’s game over for the anglozionist empire.
I am most impressed by his claim that a country should have the sovereign right to decide where to place its tax burden, in order to pay its debts. This is a direct challenge to the neoliberal evil of austerity. His platform and mandate, as i understand them, are both to stay in EU and to eliminate austerity. This is how it’s done.
Lots of people want Tsipras to do all the things they long to see happen, like a Grexit and pivot to Eurasia. In the same way that people have longed for NAF to storm Kiev and give us some dramatic and satisfying plot developments. Meanwhile, like NAF, Tsipras has to live in the real world, surrounded by many threats, not the least of which is Nuland hovering with her fangs bared.
Imagine what a real accomplishment it would be to overturn IMF conditions of austerity placed on loans. It destroys a vital link in the “Economic Hit Man” chain. Because it allows countries to retain sovereignty and tax their elite to pay back IMF. This is like Putin demonstrating that while the oligarchs could retain their wealth to date, they would pay taxes and be subordinate to the state. Or else. For the jackals of the US, the plan fails when target governments retain their social contracts, refuse to privatize public assets, and assert state primacy in the nation’s power structure.
I did like the Farage speech linked in the comments here, but what Farage is asking Tsipras to do is not what Tsipras and Syriza have said they want to do, nor what they have a mandate for. It’s just what WE want, because we want simplistic fixes.
“It’s just what WE want, because we want simplistic fixes.”
The loaned funds were overwhelmingly rerouted to the imperialist Bankers. The Greek people saw little of those IMF loans. In return for those loans, the Greek people gave up their industry, natural resources, their jobs, their financial and national independence, and their honor.
It is their Honor, as well as their financial and political freedoms that the Greek people are in the process of regaining. England’s Mr. Nigel Farage, as well as France’s Ms. Marine Le Pen, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and the rest of us have already immeasurably benefited from the Resounding NO of the Greek people.
The NO was a vote for freedom (not for a better exploitative deal – with some sugar added), and the vote was made despite the nearly unanimous chorus of dire threats from the controlled Media and from Germany and the United States. Tsipras is a fine agent of the Oligarchs; he is a fancy upper middle class ‘socialist’ as is England’s Blair, and America’s Hollywood Obomber. They act well; they drink their wine well; they play golf well; they wear expensive suits well; they smile well; (although Tsipras did not smile while Nigel Farage made his Barn-Burner of a speech), and they serve well.
They are all Judas Goats.
The Yellow Brick Road is not an easy or “simplistic” road; it requires Brains, Courage, and a Heart. At the end lies the VISION.
“[..] but what Farage is asking Tsipras to do is not what Tsipras and Syriza have said they want to do, nor what they have a mandate for. It’s just what WE want, because we want simplistic fixes.”
To be fair, he’s not “asking” Tsipras to do anything, more like advising him, or just simply giving his opinion on the matter, an opinion that is perfectly in line with the things Farage’s been saying as an MEP for years now.
It is indeed true what you say: we want Tsipras [and others who show similar potential for doing good] to do the things WE want to see being done, but I disagree these are simplistic fixes. It really is what it needs to be done.
Pussy-footing around the psychopaths in charge will get us absolutely nowhere, and as we can see in country after country, things are getting increasingly worse for the long suffering majority.
That’s the whole point of being a ‘radical’ [and no, I don‘t believe Tsipras is a radical, but neither is Putin for that matter]; as a radical your task is to locate the root of a problem and seek to strike it at its starting point. You don’t prune the edges here and there expecting to affect big changes at a Mammoth system that it’s rotten to its very core. That’s like lightly shaving a cancerous tumor and then expect things to right themselves on their own. That’s just ‘magical thinking.’
But, fair enough: Syriza’s mandate was not about them doing what we would like them to do. Yet again… their platform for getting elected was ‘NO to Austerity.’ They got that twice; first when they got elected and second: with the OXI result at a referendum they’ve called.
Now it’s time for them to deliver the goods or sink in infamy with the rest of the two-faced traitors to humanity. High stakes for them, I know. As ever, time will tell…
As the video only presents the final part of Tsipras’ speech, here is the transcript of the first part as well. I don’t see how Tsipras is a stooge of the US as some are claiming here. He inherited the problems of the previous governments, as he points out, and in his rebuttal he questions the presence of the IMF in no uncertain terms.
Now it is being said that he has capitulated to austerity in the proposals he offers. I take this as an attempt to have him lose popular support. I think Greeks are savvy enough to reject this, just as they rejected the media barrage when they made their historic vote.
“He inherited the problems of the previous governments, as he points out, and in his rebuttal he questions the presence of the IMF in no uncertain terms.”
The terms he-Tsipras offers the IMF Bankers will clarify the role he is playing. Right now, he is playing Hamlet, but he could be playing Judas. The terms he offers… If, as he says, he truly “questions the presence of the IMF in no uncertain terms” then he-Tsipras, will offer them/the IMF Bankers, the door, “in no uncertain terms.”
Indeed, the imperialist bankers have exploited the Greek people, and many others over the last century and more. These bankers should be arrested for felony theft, and not treated as some decent (if a bit greedy), gentlemen with whom one/a nation may still conduct business.
National independence, national currency, national control, national pride. Do I need a verb?
The Greek people have begun this fight well. They have organized well; they have voted well (more than once); may they fight well; may they finish well.
Peter. acting like an armchair warrior is the failing on many commenters at times like these. Alot of people are angry and they want big action…but that’s war….
This “armchair warrior” has advised resistance in Greece, and in his nation of birth, the USA. I have not advised violence – ever. Self defense, yes, aggression, no.
I have children & seen the inside of jail cells in more than 1 country. Are you a supporter of war criminal and CIA agent, Democrat gang member H. Clinton for the Oligarch’s President in 2016? Do you blame the Bushes and Repub gang (exclusively) while omitting Hollywood Obomber and the Democrat gang from your criticism? Do you play the Good Cop – Bad Cop game which is designed to cover up the American totalitarian political system? Do you practice American exceptionalism?
Your only response to my missive is a personal insult. You also slander – Alot of people. “Alot of people are angry and they want big action…but that’s war….” Therefore, according to you, Alot of people, (implied by you, the masses of citizens), “are angry” and they want “war.” Who taught you to write like this? Therefore, you imply, that the 61% of the Greek voters who voted NO, want “war.” That is a pretty harsh accusation. Is it possible you are wrong and owe us an apology?
The Saker was the first on this website to predict the traitorous political trajectory of the Syriza leaders. He received much criticism at the time. He has been proved correct. The Syriza leaders are Judas Goats, as are the Democrat imperialists. Democrat (so-called ‘progressive’ Senator Sanders, who is covering H Clinton’s political backside, is a Zionist, and a supporter of imperialism.
The “armchair warriors” reside in the US Congress and the White House. But you know that?
“Peter. acting like an armchair warrior is the failing on many commenters at times like these. A lot of people are angry and they want big action…but that’s war…”
Nonsense!
Who will go to war with Greece? May I remind you that for better and worse; they’re still an EU and a NATO member state (?)
Will NATO attack NATO? Will the US attack an EU country? No? Who then?!? Please, do pray tell…
Daesh/Isis?
Maybe… but then again, that’s the risk you run when you take in undocumented ‘boat-people’ that might be peppered with jihadists in their midst, and you go ahead and take all these people under your wing even at a time when your country is broke and can’t afford to look after its own population, let alone these assorted riff-raff crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
But! All things considered, the likelihood of a war with Greece is slim to none. That old canard “might” fly when the subject is about the US/Nato vs. Russia, but not here.
Tsipras Sells Out Referendum ‘No’ Vote Ahead Of Weekend Deadline:
“[..] In other words, it appears as though Tsipras is looking to back the Syriza hardliners into a corner. The argument appears to go something like this: voting on the actual proposals would be largely pointless as Europe hasn’t approved them, so let’s vote on whether I have the authority to negotiate the measures, but if you say “yes” to that, and I agree to a deal this weekend, then I can then come back to you and say “well, you gave me the authority to negotiate and I decided to accept so now you pretty much have to approve this.” This strategy has the added benefit of allowing Tsipras to tell Europe that the Greek parliament voted “yes” even though in reality they did not vote on the actual deal.”
Here’s the actual Breaking News about this: Greek Parliament backs bailout proposals…
RT: Greek MPs bless bailout deal seen by creditors as ‘positive’
“[..] Following lengthy Friday night debates in the Greek parliament, the lawmakers have voted to authorize the Greek delegation’s sealing of a deal with the country’s international creditors in accordance with conditions presented earlier this week. “
I didn’t even mention Hilary Clinton or Obama … Just because it seems like the Greek Government is crashing … now is a perfect opportunity for all arm chair politicians and warriors to say what should and shouldn’t be done by that government. Maybe its harder being a politician than it is to be a commenter on the Internet ?
No body really knows what’s going on behind closed doors right now. But there are enough Putin Bashers for me to think, perhaps this is Tsipiras Bashers now.
Not so easy for these Greek politicians who don’t want their economies to turn upside down…imagine…the banks could stop all payments at the bank machines … then what ? An orange revolution ?
“No body really knows what’s going on behind closed doors right now.”
Because no-body really knows what’s going on behind closed doors [btw; screw the closed doors! When decisions as important as this one are taking place, they should have a live-feed for the whole world to see and judge accordingly – remember the nothing to hide, nothing to fear mantra?], that doesn’t mean that smarter and more knowledgeable people than you or me, don’t know what it needs to be done, regardless of what’s being discussed behind “closed doors” or not.
Here’s the latest Dr. Hudson’s interview with the Real News Network:
“Not so easy for these Greek politicians who don’t want their economies to turn upside down…imagine…the banks could stop all payments at the bank machines … then what ? An orange revolution ?”
The Greek economy has been already turned upside down, long ago.
“Austerity” is known to cause GDP contraction and diminished economic activity all across the board, in turn: drastically reducing the capabilities of a country to raise enough cash to pay off its debts/obligations.
It’s a vicious circle, purposely designed to strip-mine targeted countries off their assets, natural resources, public domain and sovereignty. That’s what it’s all about. They do not care about the money being re-paid, they know it’s ‘funny’ money, how do they know this? Because they invented the whole fiat scam to begin with! They’re after things with real worth in the real world, hence: they’re after REAL assets and human resources/labor.
The IMF and World Bank have been doing this to the so-called third world countries with impunity for decades now, the only difference is that now, we have Vulture Hedge Funds, Central Banks, Investment Banks and ordinary high Streets Banks joining in the IMF-styled looting.
“[..] imagine…the banks could stop all payments at the bank machines … then what?”
If the banks can’t perform their one and only function – inject liquidity into the system – and IF Syriza had any balls at all (and I don‘t believe they have any at this point), they would storm their premises and nationalize the banks, at gun point if necessary. As an alternative… they can always put them under a ‘temporary’ State administration, until things stabilize back to normal.
“Keeping calm is very important.”
Au contraire. It is precisely at cross-road times like these, when people needs to scream off the roof-tops in unison: “I’m mad as Hell! And I’m not going to take this anymore!”

When decisions as important as this one are taking place, they should have a live-feed for the whole world to see and judge accordingly – remember the nothing to hide, nothing to fear mantra?], that doesn’t mean that smarter and more knowledgeable people than you or me, don’t know what it needs to be done, regardless of what’s being discussed behind “closed doors” or not.
Here’s the latest Dr. Hudson’s interview with the Real News Network:

“Not so easy for these Greek politicians who don’t want their economies to turn upside down…imagine…the banks could stop all payments at the bank machines … then what ? An orange revolution ?”
The Greek economy has been already turned upside down, long ago.
“Austerity” is known to cause GDP contraction and diminished economic activity all across the board, in turn: drastically reducing the capabilities of a country to raise enough cash to pay off its debts/obligations.
It’s a vicious circle, purposely designed to strip-mine targeted countries off their assets, natural resources, public domain and sovereignty. That’s what it’s all about. They do not care about the money being re-paid, they know it’s ‘funny’ money, how do they know this? Because they invented the whole fiat scam to begin with! They’re after things with real worth in the real world, hence: they’re after REAL assets and human resources/labor.
The IMF and World Bank have been doing this to the so-called third world countries with impunity for decades now, the only difference is that now, we have Vulture Hedge Funds, Central Banks, Investment Banks and ordinary high Streets Banks joining in the IMF-styled looting.
“[..] imagine…the banks could stop all payments at the bank machines … then what?”
If the banks can’t perform their one and only function – inject liquidity into the system – and IF Syriza had any balls at all (and I don‘t believe they have any at this point), they would storm their premises and nationalize the banks, at gun point if necessary. As an alternative… they can always put them under a ‘temporary’ State administration, until things stabilize back to normal.
“Keeping calm is very important.”
Au contraire. It is precisely at cross-road times like these, when people needs to scream off the roof-tops in unison: “I’m mad as Hell! And I’m not going to take this anymore!”
