Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we could easily reduce this picture of the 'tough negotiations' to just a few.
Syriza's pre-election war
cries of 'tearing up the memorandum' and ending austerity was all
purely lies and endless propaganda, to secure their vote into power,
taking advantage of an entire nation which has fallen on extremely hard
times. Tsipras has no intention of 'tearing up the memorandum', or
ending austerity, he is more interested in creating an extravagant
political show and media frenzy before signing away our national
sovereignty to the international loan sharks.
Syriza, like most Marxist
movements, act nothing more than a safety valve for the capitalist
elite. The international bankers now have Greece on its knees, and want
it to remain a subjugated state paying annual tribute to the usurers. To
ensure Greece's compliance, Samaras promised the Greeks a hard
government which would negotiate for a 'better deal' with the Troika in
order to convince them tough times would pay off in the end. Once in
power, his overt and non-apologetic policies of being completely
subservient to the memorandum angered the Greek people, who showed signs
of far too much instability to the loan sharks. This is where Syriza
comes in, the controlled 'Marxist' opposition which took over Greece
earlier this year in snap elections on the promise they would end
austerity.
Syriza has already
admitted to crossing many of their so called pre-election 'red lines',
in an attempt to fool the Greek people into thinking they are actually
taking a standing. Behind the manufactured media drama is nothing more
than a distraction from their inevitable submission to another
memorandum. Syriza's so called 'Greek proposal' is objectively speaking
another new memorandum, with a few word changes for the 'troika' and
'memorandum', which are now to be referred to as our 'partners' &
'agreement'. Other minor details to VAT & high end income taxes are
largely irrelevant, given the government will still be collecting the
same amount of overly burdening taxes from ordinary working class Greeks
in order to make interest payments.
The bottom line is that
under Syriza's 'Greek proposal', Greece will still sign away its
national sovereignty, and continue to make austerity payments to the
international loan sharks. Pensions and other public cuts under Syriza's
proposal are no different to what the Greeks already had under known
sell-out Samaras, meaning the Tsipra's media circus is nothing more than
a smoke and mirrors trick with no substance. Syriza is attempting to
publicly exhaust all options in order to return empty handed to the
Greeks, and assure them that after his 'fight' that there are no other
options except for more austerity.
This so called plan for a
national referendum on the bail out talks are again nothing more than
an act of controlled opposition. For those Marxists that actually read
beyond the headlines, they may have noticed that the option for the
complete and absolute termination of austerity is not on the Syriza
menu. Instead, Greek voters will be duped into thinking they have a say
on their national sovereignty, when in reality they have 2 austerity
packages to chose from; 1 on offer by the EU, and the other austerity
package on offer by Tsipras, which is little different to the conditions
we saw under Samaras.
If Tsipras wants to give the Greek people a genuine say on the bailout talks, then why doesn't he offer a 3rd
option, for the termination of austerity, in line with his pre-election
promise to the Greek people? The Greeks are to be given a choice
between a rock and a hard place, one on offer by Capitalists, and the
other on offer by Marxists. Golden Dawn is the only party that offers a 3rd
option, that of the complete termination of the memorandum, the ending
of all austerity measures, and the Geo-political alignment of Greece
away from the Eurozone, and towards Russia.
