It’s game over for the
architects of austerity in Berlin and the technocratic Brussels bubble. Democracy won a great battle. And the fight
took place in its birthplace as Greeks defiantly closed the down the taboo of
rule by “financial terrorism” and confronted credit with default.
Well! That was Sunday
July 5th 2015 after the Greek referendum and its 60% “Oxi” vote. This historic
“No” vote came after a barrage of threats, coercion and panic mongering by the “Yes
to more austerity, humiliation and subjugation” camp led by Berlin, Finland, Benelux, and the Baltic states.
With classic European Byzantine
wheeling and dealing this result was overturned and a week later the above
paragraph 2 now reads like its mirror image.
It’s game on for the architects of austerity
in Berlin and the technocratic Brussels bubble. Democracy lost a great battle. The fight took
place in its birthplace as Greeks succumbed to the rule of “financial
terrorism” and accepted more credit without default.
This was a battle in a
war. A war pitching Democratic principles against a Technocratic global regime
- the outcome determined by the motto: “Who Cares Wins!” This brutal Technocracy claims they are best
suited to rule us as Democracy is responsible for making bad decisions. - You
just couldn’t make it up if you tried.
This blog asserted
correctly in November 2010 that the
EU’s future would be determined by the treatment of the Greek crisis, (/fishy-euro-playground.html)
That treatment has now resulted in a breakdown of
trust and faith in ability and direction for the European project. It has
exposed a massive lack of “Unity” and a great deal of “Diversity” that is and
will be Europe for the rest of this current historic epoch. “National Egoism” is the character of communities
and nations across the planet. It defines who we are and shapes values positive
and negative. In the end a uni-polar technocratic society is an enslaved
society. Thus speaks history.
The Northern block and
the Southern neighbourhood will feel this fall-out for years to come.
And at the heart of the long list of
casualties is Chancellor Angel Merkel- the Saxon Queen of Europe- who no longer
seems invulnerable to these remarkable events.
In a week when China’s
stock market faced its biggest rout since 1992, the relatively tiny Greek
financial crisis was ripping the heart out of the Federalist European project;
the priority being to teach Greece and the rest of the Democrats a lesson in
who rules.
A call for more Europe will
be the standard Federalist response. “More Europe is born out of crisis” they have
been heard to cry over and over and over. But who cares wins! Citizens care about their own, their country,
their cultures, their future and especially their democracy.
This political debate will
continue against those pursing technocratic agendas with devastating costs; costs which includes war, division and humanitarian crises on the southern and eastern
flanks.
