What is happening in Greece concerns all of us. The people are paying for a crisis and a debt that are not their own. Today it is the Greeks, tomorrow it will be others, for the same causes will produce the same effects if we allow it.

First and above all, we express our full and unconditional solidarity with the people who are suffering from an austerity plan without precedent combined with contempt and an arrogance bordering on racism. The strikes and demonstrations are legitimate, and we support them. This is not the crisis of the Greek people, it is the crisis of the world capitalist system. What the Greek people are experiencing is revealing of today’s capitalism. The plan dictated by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rides roughshod over the most elementary rules of democracy.

If this plan is implemented, it will result in a collapse of the economy and of peoples’ incomes without precedent in Europe since the 1930s. Equally glaring is the collusion of markets, central banks and governments to make the people pay the bill for the arbitrary caprice of the system. [French President] Nicolas Sarkozy still dares to talk of the need to regulate the market, although all the measures he implements are more liberal than ever. The movement is accompanied by a deadening consensus of the Right and the Left. The plan is designed by European governments of the Right and Left – and by Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the IMF, an institution that has ravaged the Third World for decades and is now attacking Europe. A plan that is implemented by a Socialist government, [Greek Prime Minister] George Papandreou’s, the French side of which is adopted by the UMP [Union pour un Mouvement Populaire, a centre-right party] and the SP [Socialist Party of France] members of parliament combined.

Background to the Crisis

The Greek debt crisis is the third tier of a more global crisis that began in the summer of 2008 in the United States. The financial speculation engaged in by the major western banks led the world to the brink of the abyss and plunged the economy into recession. Escalating unemployment, flagging incomes and purchasing power are the principal consequences. Governments have saved this financial capitalism, resuscitated the banks, relaunched capitalism with hundreds of billions of Euros and dollars, thereby causing an explosion in debts and deficits and putting the more fragile states such as Greece in a difficult position.

Now the markets, having digested the crisis, are attacking government debts and speculating on the future of the weakest. What an exemplary lesson on the amorality of a system that is able, in one year, to survive thanks to the IV [intravenous] drip of the state and then to plunge the state itself into a speculative punishment. A speculation that is now embarking on an assault on Spain, while awaiting further victims. When French Prime Minister François Fillon announced May 5 that painful measures were in store to “avoid indebtedness like Greece,” he also announced an austerity plan, one element of which is a reappraisal of the right to retire at age 60.

In fact, a three-year freeze on public spending will entail a freeze on civil servants’ wages and job cutbacks in the hospitals, schools and other public services that people need in order to confront the social catastrophe engendered by the crisis. In contrast, the future is guaranteed for tax expenditures that have generously awarded a thousand or so of the privileged with an average refund of 376,000 Euros apiece.

Double Standards

The Greek measures overwhelmingly approved by the European governments consist of attacking social rights because, under the rules of globalized capitalism applied by these governments, Europe is losing ground in the global competition with the United States and the emerging countries. Their solution is to regain competitiveness through a reappraisal of the standard of living and social protection achieved in Europe by decades of mobilization of the workers movement. An unending spiral toward the bottom. And imagine, they sold us the Maastricht treaties, the European Constitution treaty, and the Lisbon treaty as the premises for the construction of a European social and welfare network! What utter nonsense, when we relate this promise to the bleeding imposed upon the Greeks – at 5% interest, moreover. The European banks can continue to grow rich on the Greek austerity plan, although they are the ones most responsible for the world economic chaos. By the same token, there is nothing humanitarian about voting for an “assistance plan” like that in the National Assembly. By joining in the government decision, the SP lines up on the side of finance and not the oppressed.

The European Union, far from being supportive, knows how to play the usurer on the back of a people’s misery. The common declaration of Mr. Sarkozy and [German Chancellor] Angela Merkel that they will save the Euro zone by reinforcing “budget surveillance” of states failing to adhere to the objectives of the stability pact is an illustration of this. In liberal Europe, governments are allowed to contravene the stability pact only when they are opening the public assistance taps for the banks. Humanity can wait.

Yet, never has there been such urgency to the need for a social, ecological and anticapitalist Europe of solidarity. None of the problems can be met within national borders. We are all Greek workers subject to the same logic. The debt of the governments is the product of twenty-five years of liberalism and the slashes in the taxes of the wealthiest – on corporate incomes, capital and shareholders’ dividends. Twenty-five years of an ongoing decline in the payroll taxes imposed on employers and the well-heeled. This crisis is not ours. In Greece, as elsewhere in Europe, it need not be paid for by us.

Our Demands, Our Alternatives

That is why we demand the cancellation of the Greek debt. To reject the austerity plans, to divest the banks of the control they exercise over the economy and society, to substitute a single European public banking service in place of the European Central Bank, with a monopoly over credit, is to fight for the cancellation of the debts and for a genuine European construction: that of the peoples and the workers, of a convergence of their struggles, for a social and ecological Europe of solidarity. If we do not initiate this about-turn, to build another Europe, the sovereigntist and nationalist logic, with its trail of xenophobia, will get the upper hand. The sprint has begun.

To proceed with the common currency, all liberal governments, Right and Left alike, managed to impose drastic economic convergence criteria. The time has now come to impose some social convergence criteria with a European minimum wage, a right of European workers and their organizations to veto layoffs, and some social and democratic rights based on the most favourable national legislation. Such a project must be led by a new political force reaching beyond national borders, a European anticapitalist left that is built step by step. The entire radical left should give careful thought to the lesson of Greece.

This radical left everywhere faces a hard choice between independence from the Social Democracy or incorporation within a management majority with the liberal left. We all want to fight the Right in Europe, as in France, and that means creating alternative channels, not the programmed “alternance” already baptized in France by the Socialist Party as “Gauche solidaire” – solidarity with the speculators, as in the Greek situation. •

1) Again many of the members are major public figures ranging form political leaders and corporate CEO’s to entertainers, actors and televangelists.
There have been times historically when they openly ruled such as the Pharaohs of Egypt who claimed to be god-kings or European monarchs who claimed divine right of kings because of their claim to be descendants of Christ. We close to a period where open rule by the bloodlines is accepted again. People in the United States do not question it when presidents are determined by their line (father then son) and when two members of supposedly very elite secret societies run against one another, it is discussed on CNN and when asked about one of them says “it is too secret to talk about”… and then this individual goes on to become president again. Celebrities who openly display symbolism of their affiliations are worshipped as living god-kings and god-queens by the masses. I would say we as a society are bordering on this now.
2) Alright here are some things I believe are in the works due to my own interactions: I was aware of our invasion of Iraq prior to 9/11 occurring as it was intended that I would go into military intel during the invasion and assist with black ops, however I had left prior to 9/11 so those plans did not fall through. I believe they would like to see a revolution within the United States, based on some of my programs, and individuals I assisted in programming and training to form right wing sleeper cells within the US. However I was never certain if this was a failsafe plan or something to be pushed forwards.
I think we will see a staged alien invasion in our lifetimes, due to the specific technology I’ve seen tested and utilized, this is of course not material I can discuss openly in detail. The masses were deceived by 9/11 which was a fairly smalltime psychological operation compared to the fully available resources. I’m not certain if this is the card that will be played in 2012 or not.
Israel will most likely be nuked at some point to trigger a large war in the middle-east. Zionism has always been a tool that intended to sacrifice more Jews for a second holocaust (burnt offering/sacrifice), and the use of nukes in Israel would achieve this end quite well. The age is coming to an end and they need to reshuffle religions again. If Judaism and Islam could be virtually wiped out nuking each other in the middle-east it would go a long way towards achieving this end.
I remain skeptical of the full one-world government or one-world religion becoming a reality in the next couple generations. I’m not saying it will not happen, only the current paradigm has worked so well for the bloodlines historically, although this may be a preemptive strike against the threat of a mass shift in frequency that could damage the wide scale social programming, and this would be a potential buffer against it.
Christianity will be eliminated completely sometimes after 2100, as was always the plan, however the brotherhood absolutely needs this religion to stay afloat for a full 2150 years, as its prophecies and zealots fulfill too many aspects of the agenda to allow it to be discarded yet.
We will most definitely see a DNA database that houses the full genome of every man woman and child on earth. This is a key part of the coming agenda. It will be hugely beneficial to the bloodlines, which for now are limited to small scale genetic testing, and genealogical achieves such as those the Mormons have in Salt Lake City.
They may turn over fusion reactors to the mainstream for large scale use in the new few generations, but more efficient forms of energy are going to be kept in deep black projects indefinitely.
Virtual reality brain interfaces (implanted) will become common technology in the next 25-30 years, and it will be used first for video-gaming and then expanded into other aspects of our lives.
3) Rennes Le Chateau sits on an energy vortex and is an important location. I know little else about it, other than it is important to my line specifically, however I’m from the American Merovingian line, so this site is not a place I have person experience with.

This outside view can be trumped right here at TRT as I have 2 family members in that group and I myself was invited to join but opted not to for paranoia reasons. And now they call it extremism. Its not , Every thing we say we can prove, these accusers cant prove shit. All they can do is what their corporate bosses say and that is term something a threat that is actually a benefit to every man woman and child in this nation.

Our nation is waking up and taking itself back from the elite bankers, thats just a fact; I realize that your asskissing job is on the line to parrot out what massa murdoch says, but its wrong and what I am saying is true and you know it in your soul, and hope it succeeds so you can dump the globalist corp[orate and banking slime back into the gutter.

You want real answers ? ask me.

Governors across the country have received letters ordering them to step down from office in three days, the first step in a quasi-religious, “freedom movement” group’s elaborate plan to disband parts of the U.S. government, according to the group’s Web site.
The group, calling itself the Guardians of the free Republics, describes the plan as a nonviolent and legal attempt to “restore the true Republic.”
Department of Homeland Security and FBI officials said there did not appear to be an immediate threat of violence.
At least one governor’s office beefed up security measures as federal officials investigated whether the group’s message could be considered dangerous.
“We just decided that it was appropriate to err on the side of caution,” said Lynn Hettrick, deputy chief of staff to Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons.
Officials in that state closed all but one entrance to the Capitol building and added metal detectors after Gibbons received the letter this week, Hettrick said.
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland received one of the letters and his office turned it over to the FBI, said Amanda Wurst, Strickland’s spokeswoman.
Strickland told reporters after a morning news conference that he was not overly concerned and didn’t take the letter “too seriously.”
Wurst said no changes were made to the governor’s schedule as a result of the letter.
Governors in Louisiana, Michigan, Utah, Virginia and other states also reported receiving the letter.
The Guardians of the free Republics appear to be anti-government and anti-tax. Their philosophy – rife with reinterpretation of arcane federal law – mingles with the anti-Federal Reserve mantra espoused by followers of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, as well as with anti-tax crusaders who promise freedom from debt and foreclosure.
“Everything is going to be orderly and no one is going to be harmed in this movement,” said Billy Ray Hall, a man who identified himself as a follower of the Guardians of the free Republics. “It’s going to be really good. There’s going to be funds enough for everybody.”
Hall said packets containing the letters had been sent to all 50 governors.
The letters arrived as law-enforcement officials appear to be closely monitoring anti-government extremists.
Authorities arrested several members of a Christian militia group in Michigan over the weekend. Prosecutors have described the Hutaree militia as a violent anti-government organization planning to kill police officers.
Guardians of the free Republics emphasize the peaceful nature of their proposed revolution, although their wording is at times opaque and foreboding.
The group believes that an act of Congress passed in the late 1800s effectively transformed the United States into a corporation, Hall said. Since then, the American people have been serving corporate masters.
The plan to restore America begins with the assembly of “de jure grand juries” in all 50 states, according to the group’s Web site. Followers were asked to sign a “covenant of office” and are described as “elders.” The group must act quickly to avert some impending enforcement of martial law, said group leader Sam Kennedy on his Internet radio program.
Kennedy, who said the group was attracting followers in droves from the so-called freedom movement, described this plan as a “revelation” and compared the coming events to “a time to parallel the storming of Jericho and all the great Biblical events of history.”
“Calamity is coming for this world,” he said on the radio program, adding that it would be peaceful. “We forgive all who repent for their crimes against mankind. You could also expect that many of those people will not repent, and if they are recidivists we will deal with them accordingly.”

Extremist group demands governors resign, FBI says

By the CNN Wires Staff

April 3, 2010 — Updated 0118 GMT (0918 HKT)

Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons, at a Tea Party rally last weekend in Searchlight, was among the governors receiving the letters.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• NEW: Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Texas among state receiving letters
• Domestic extremist group demands 30-plus governors resign in letters, authorities say
• Letters reportedly tell governors to vacate posts within three days
• Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons’ office increases security measures at Capitol after receiving letters

Washington (CNN) — A domestic extremist group has sent letters to more than 30 U.S. governors demanding they resign, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI said in an intelligence note.

The note, dated Monday, said the letters told the governors to vacate their posts within three days.

The FBI and DHS said there do not appear to be credible or immediate threats of violence attached to the letters.

The group behind the letters has a "Restore America Plan" that calls for the removal of any governor who fails to comply, the intelligence note said.

While DHS has no information that the removal refers to a specific plan for violence, "law enforcement should be aware that this could be interpreted as a justification for violence or other criminal actions," the note said.

Other steps in the group’s plan include "establishing bogus courts, calling of ‘de jure’ grand juries, and issuing so-called ‘legal orders’ to gain control of the state," the note said.

States that have acknowledged receiving the letters include Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Utah, Arkansas, Maine, Colorado, Rhode Island, Michigan, Georgia, Virginia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, Missouri, Montana and Hawaii, officials in those states told CNN or its affiliates.

Officials in Illinois would not say whether they had received a letter. Officials in Maryland and Idaho said the governors’ offices there had not received such a letter.

Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons received one letter Monday and three more Wednesday, including one by fax, said his chief of staff, Robin Reedy. The group behind the letters does not believe there should be a federal government, Reedy said.

The letters were not handwritten but did have some handwritten signatures, Reedy said Thursday.

The office had been warned in advance to be on the lookout for the letter, she said.

Gibbons’ office stepped up security at the Nevada Capitol in Carson City after receiving the letters.

Everyone had to enter through one entrance, and an X-ray machine and metal detector were brought in.

Boulders were placed in front of the Capitol so vehicles could not drive close to the building.

The governor hadn’t seen the letters because he had been in Las Vegas for a few days, Reedy said.
