Prof. Dr. Athanassios Giannis gab dem deutschen Journalismus-Portal KenFM ein Telefoninterview und verdeutlichte die aktuelle Situation in seinem Heimatland:

Stell Dir vor, Du bist ein griechisches Kind in Athen, wurdest von einem Auto angefahren und benötigst dringend medizinische Hilfe. Deine Mutter ist wie drei Millionen andere Griechen nicht mehr im Besitz einer Krankenversicherung. Sie kann sich die Policen nicht mehr leisten. Jetzt einen Krankenwagen zu rufen ist zudem ein Glücksspiel, denn ein Großteil der Infrastruktur wurde aus Kostengründen stillgelegt. Aber auch wenn es die Mutter mit ihrem Kind in ein Klinikum schaffen würde, selbst das wie am Spieß schreiende Kind müsste Wartezeiten von bis zu zwölf Stunden in Kauf nehmen, würde dann aber nur behandelt, wenn die Mutter das Geld für die Not-Operation vorab bar bezahlt.

… “As the US is lifting Cuba blockades, I see no reasons for Europe to keep Russia sanctions in place,” Mariani told reporters after speaking at the Crimean Parliament in Simferopol on Thursday.

… Vaccine Lottery:

• But the thing about the Great Vaccine Blitz is most people have no idea what is on the line. Not public health. Not the doctors. Not even Shoenfeld and his band of specialists can tell you that your kid is going to be 100% fine when you pump him full of 49 vaccines or if there will be any long-term effects. Vaccines were invented when they didn’t know an immune system even existed and researchers have barely begun to unravel the mysteries of that microscopic universe. They don’t know which kids are going to react or why. They don’t even know the odds. The Greater Good is all well and fine so long as it’s not your kid that gets the Lesser Evil.

… instead over the past 25 years it has been the left’s project that has collapsed – Published on The Guardian, by Paul Mason, July 17, 2015.
(my comment: maybe capitalism ends, but it was only the tool to submit us … ending a tool is NOT ending automatically any submission, it may become even worse – Heidi).

… If you lived through all this, and disliked capitalism, it was traumatic. But in the process technology has created a new route out, which the remnants of the old left – and all other forces influenced by it – have either to embrace or die. Capitalism, it turns out, will not be abolished by forced-march techniques. It will be abolished by creating something more dynamic that exists, at first, almost unseen within the old system, but which will break through, reshaping the economy around new values and behaviours. I call this postcapitalism.   Continuer la lecture de « the end of capitalism has begun … »

Greece’s lesson for Russia, and for China and Iran, is to avoid all financial relationships with the West. The West simply cannot be trusted. Washington is committed to economic and political hegemony over every other country and uses the Western financial system for asset freezes, confiscations, and sanctions. Countries that have independent foreign policies and also have assets in the West cannot expect Washington to respect their property rights or their ownership. Washington freezes or steals countries’ assets, or in the case of France imposes multi-billion dollar fines, in order to force compliance with Washington’s policies. Iran, for example, lost the use of $100 billion, approximately one-fourth of the Iranian GDP, for years simply because Iran insisted on its rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.   Continuer la lecture de « Greece’s Lesson For Russia »

There has been so much attention on Greece in recent weeks, but the truth is that Greece represents only a very tiny fraction of an unprecedented global debt bomb which threatens to explode at any moment.

As you are about to see, there are 24 nations that are currently facing a full-blown debt crisis, and there are 14 more that are rapidly heading toward one.   Continuer la lecture de « the bankruptcy of the planet accelerates »

It is now sometimes hard to remember – and for the generation that is now in college and wasn’t necessarily reading the opinion pages at the time, it may seem nothing short of perverse – but there was a period following the onset of the crisis when progressive commentary on economic and financial life was pervaded by intense optimism about the future. As overleveraged financial structures crumbled, progressive intelligentsia rang the death knell for the neoliberal principles that were so obviously responsible for the problems.   Continuer la lecture de « Progressives, Neoliberalism, and Austerity – beyond the Polanyian Impasse »

… reflections on Nationalism – Published on theleSUR english, by Vincent Emanuele, July 11, 2015.

… Today, the scourge of nationalism continues to infect the human species. Without doubt, in some circles, people hotly debate the topic. For most people, however, the concept of nationalism is rarely questioned. In fact, it’s a foregone conclusion that people should love the nation in which they reside. Some people even take great pride in the fact that they were arbitrarily born in a specific geographical location. Unfortunately, like religion or capitalism, nationalism is alive and well in the 21st century.   Continuer la lecture de « Challenging Ideologies and Institutions »
