Internet Statement 2011-44 Who`s blackmailing
whom? The Witch-hunt
against the Greece Referendum Maria
Weiss November 3, 2011 The witch hunt in Greece and also internationally against the advance of Papandreou
to perform a referendum in Greece on the so-called rescue
packages for the Euro speaks volumes about the real political
and moral conditions of the ruling classes. Once a brave decision is made, justified by both objective and political
terms and not only necessary in Greece but also in all of the other
European countries, then you don’t need to wait a long time: First
there is the financial blackmail, i.e. already committed funds are cancelled,
then follows the political shock in the own country, i.e. some representatives
of the opposition as well as those coming from within the ranks are
coming out of the woodworks to show what sort of opinion they are representing.
This is really a textbook example for bourgeois democracy. In itself, such a referendum on these totally adventurous so-called rescue
packages for the Euro is actually
needed in Germany as well as in France and other European countries,
as in the overall result it means nothing else but the attempt
to fleece the population of all of the European counties, now and in
future. At present Greece is just only the most obvious example and
for the financial capitalists and the state machines it seems to be
obviously most urgent there, and so the situation there is most explosive.
This does not mean that under the surface in other European countries
there are not the same contradictions that threaten to break up. That's
what drives on Merkel and Sarkozy, and not to forget Obama, as well
as other potentates who are deeply concerned by the situation in their
own countries. Also significant is the position of the parties which allegedly refer to
the revolutionary teachings of Marx, for example the KKE. Far away from
taking such an opportunity to come to a broader alliance in the country
against the program of systematically fleecing the population, they
bitterly complain against this current attempt for a referendum. Well
done, one must say, that’s how clever Marxist
tactics look. Apart from their permanent agitation against the
EU with a not justified one-sidedness which is wrong and is rather in
the interest of competitive imperialist forces than being for the benefit
of the people’s masses in the own country, such tactics surely will
not lead to take up the challenges of the fleecing tools of the financial
capitalists who are the first here to handle the conductor’s baton.
The current situation puts all sorts of reactionaries not only in
Europe in great concern. Today it went through the media that the
"Guardian" has brought a message that Britain would be willing
to participate in military strikes on targets in Iran, if asked by the
United States! Again someone
lets the cat out of the bag. The U.S. imperialists have probably tasted
blood in Libya, how easy it is to get rid of someone who is in the way.
But Iran is not Libya and the international links with other powers
could cause an unexpected and undesirable turn of this adventure. Also
the question arises who does the dirty work in Iran for them. It is but too obvious: Hardly anything is not working as planned in Europe when quickly there is sabre-rattling to bring
rebellious fellows back to reason. And with the proven method of simultaneous pressurisation and clammy secret
bribery it seems to have worked once again. What will be caused
by that might be perhaps quite a different matter. Translation of the German original www.new-einheit.de
