Operation Icarus: Anonymous declare a 30-day war on banking cartels

globinfo freexchange Starting from the website of the Bank of Greece, which has been continuously taken down on 2 May, Anonymous declared a 30-day war on banking cartels. From the transcript of the youtube video: Olympus will fall. How fitting that Icarus found his way back to Greece. Greetings world, and greetings Global Banking Cartel, We are Anonymous. A few days ago, we declared the revival of Operation Icarus. Today, Operation Icarus has moved into the next Phase. For today, we have continuously taken down the website of the Bank of Greece. This marks the start, of a 30 days campaign, against central banking sites around the globe. Like Icarus, the powers that be have flown too close to the sun, and the time has come to set the wings of their empire ablaze, and watch the system their power relies on come to a grinding halt and come crashing down around them. We must strike at the heart of

#TTIPleaks: Greenpeace exposes the neo-Feudal TTIP agreement

#TTIPLeaks From ttip-leaks.org : Greenpeace Netherlands has released secret TTIP negotiation documents. We have done so to provide much needed transparency and trigger an informed debate on the treaty.

Whether you care about environmental issues, animal welfare, labour rights or internet privacy, you should be concerned about what is in these leaked documents. They underline the strong objections civil society and millions of people around the world have voiced: TTIP is about a huge transfer of power from people to big business.

#TTIPleaks: Πώς η συμφωνία θα καταστρέψει περιβάλλον και υγεία

H Greenpeace έδωσε στη δημοσιότητα 248 σελίδες των μυστικών διαπραγματεύσεων μεταξύ ΗΠΑ και ΕΕ για την συμφωνία ΤΤΙΡ. Η οργάνωση τονίζει ότι, σύμφωνα με τα ντοκουμέντα που διέρρευσαν, η συμφωνία, αν τελικώς υπογραφεί από τα δύο μέρη, αναμένεται να αποβεί καταστροφική για τους εργαζόμενους, το περιβάλλον και την υγεία αλλά εξαιρετική ωφέλιμη για τις μεγάλες πολυεθνικές εταιρείες. Οι όποιες συζητήσεις για τη Διατλαντική Συμφωνία Συνεργασίας Εμπορίου και Επενδύσεων (TTIP) έγιναν «κεκλεισμένων των θυρών» και οι πληροφορίες για το τι ακριβώς αυτή περιλαμβάνει παρέμεναν κρυφές, μέχρι τη σημερινή δημοσίευση των διαρροών. Ο Αμερικανός πρόεδρος Μπαράκ Ομπάμα έκανε πριν λίγο καιρό το τελευταίο του ταξίδι στην Ευρώπη επιδιώκοντας ακριβώς να επισφραγίσει τις δυο θητείες του με την υπογραφή αυτής της συμφωνίας.

Panama Papers: When mainstream information wears the anti-establishment mask

by system failure From the beginning of the revelations through the Panama Papers leak, someone could sense that something was wrong. The first names that came out to publicity were related to countries like Russia, China, or other considered Western rivals, together with some "collateral damage", like the prime minister of Iceland, and the father of British prime minister Cameron. Yet, even this latest "collateral damage" may not be considered accidental. Remember that the British citizens will vote in June referendum on whether the UK will remain part of the European Union or not. The leak concerning Cameron's father could be a warning shot for Cameron to take a clear position against Brexit. Concerning Iceland, all you have to do is to remember that it was the only country that put banksters in jail after the explosion of the latest big financial crisis. The impressive amount of data in Panama Papers, indicates that the establishment, in

Neoliberalism – the ideology at the root of all our problems

Financial meltdown, environmental disaster and even the rise of Donald Trump – neoliberalism has played its part in them all. Why has the left failed to come up with an alternative? by George Monbiot PART 2 The term neoliberalism was coined at a meeting in Paris in 1938. Among the delegates were two men who came to define the ideology, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. Both exiles from Austria, they saw social democracy, exemplified by Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and the gradual development of Britain’s welfare state, as manifestations of a collectivism that occupied the same spectrum as nazism and communism. In The Road to Serfdom, published in 1944, Hayek argued that government planning, by crushing individualism, would lead inexorably to totalitarian control. Like Mises’s book Bureaucracy, The Road to Serfdom was widely read. It came to the attention of some very wealthy people, who saw in the philosophy an opportunity to free themselves from regulati
