VS legt nog meer sancties op aan de bevolking van Venezuela, Cuba en Nicaragua

Posted on by Willem Wachtmeester

Om de
ellende onder de volkeren van Venezuela, Cuba en Nicaragua nog verder
te verdiepen, heeft de psychopathische oorlogsmisdadiger Bolton
aangekondigd dat de VS deze landen nog meer sancties zal opleggen. In
zijn smerige praatje stelde Bolton dat de 3 landen de ‘stromannen’
zijn van het socialisme, waar hij deze landen ook aanduidt als de
‘trojka van tirannie, die volgens hem uit elkaar valt………’

Waar haalt schoft Bolton het lef vandaan, niet alleen daar de VS de echt tirannieke landen als de reli-fascistische dictaturen van Saoedi-Arabië en de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten steunt, waar de Egyptische-junta van al-Sisi aan toegevoegd moet worden, maar ook daar de VS een tiranniek beleid voert, met uitoefening van grootschalige terreur, tegen landen die haar niet welgevallig zijn, zoals Syrië en Iran……. Vergeet voorts niet dat de VS met haar economische oorlog tegen Venezuela, Cuba en Nicaragua, in feite terreur uitoefent op de volkeren van die landen…. (hetzelfde geldt uiteraard voor Iran)

Opperploert
Bolton deed zijn uitlatingen in de buurt van Miami bij de
herdenking van het Bay of Pigs fiasco in april 1961, waarbij de
CIA en ultra rechtse Cubanen het soevereine land Cuba aanvielen om
het bewind van Castro omver te werpen.

Om het
volk van Cuba nog harder te straffen, stelde Bolton dat Cubanen in de
VS met familie op Cuba in het vervolg niet meer dan $ 1,000.– per
persoon en maximaal 1 keer per kwartaal mogen overmaken naar die
familie……. Het is duidelijk: een voortzetting van het programma
van ontmoediging voor bewoners van landen die de VS niet welgevallig
zijn…..

Met deze
tactiek, een economische oorlogsvoering, probeert de VS de bevolking
van landen die haar niet welgevallig zijn, zoals de 3 genoemde
landen, zo te raken dat ze de straat opgaan voor massademonstraties
en daarmee probeert de VS het volk zover te krijgen dat het zittende
bewind wordt afgezet…….. Tegelijkertijd durft Bolton te stellen
dat hij de volkeren van Venezuela, Cuba en Nicaragua nooit in de
steek te laten……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Duidelijk geval van
gevaarlijke psychopathische gekte, waarbij elke redelijke en ethische
argumentatie ontbreekt……

Een paar
uur eerder sprak Pompeo over Cuba en hij wil dat Cuba de onteigende
bezittingen van ‘Amerikanen’ teruggeeft aan ‘de rechtmatige eigenaren’ en waarbij hij grote
herstelbetalingen, inclusief rente eist van de Cubaanse
regering…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! De bezittingen waar Bolton over
spreekt waren van smerige plantage en fabriekseigenaren die hun
arbeiders vreselijk hebben uitgebuit, voorts gaat het om bezittingen
van maffia organisaties die voor de revolutie van Castro en zijn
makkers in 1959 op Cuba grote casino’s en bordelen in hun bezit hadden…….

Gelukkig
verzet de EU zich tegen deze verdere uitbouw van sancties, echter dat
verzet is van nul en generlei waarde, immers het verzet van de EU
tegen de hernieuwde sancties van de VS tegen Iran, was er één in
woorden, daarna deed en doet de EU niets voor Iran en durven EU
bedrijven niet langer te investeren in dat land…….. Eigenlijk onnodig te zeggen dat het hier om een heel smerige vorm van chantage door de Trump administratie gaat, genoeg voor een aanklacht bij het Internationaal Strafhof (ICC)!!

Trump
Admin Sanctions ‘Three Stooges of Socialism,’ Cuba, Nicaragua,
Venezuela

Trump Admin Sanctions ‘Three Stooges of Socialism,’ Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela

The
Trump administration on Wednesday intensified its crackdown on Cuba,
Nicaragua and Venezuela, rolling back Obama administration policy and
announcing new restrictions and sanctions against the three countries
whose leaders national security adviser John Bolton dubbed the “three
stooges of socialism.”

“The
troika of tyranny — Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua — is beginning
to crumble,” Bolton said in a hard-hitting speech near Miami on the
58th anniversary of the United States’ failed Bay of Pigs invasion
of the island, an attempt to overthrow the Cuban government.

Bolton
announced a new cap on the amount of money families in the United
States can send their relatives in Cuba. The Obama administration had
lifted limits on remittances, but the new limit will be $1,000 per
person per quarter, Bolton said. Remittances to Cuba from the United
States amounted to $3 billion in 2016, according to the State
Department.

Bolton
also announced that the U.S. was sanctioning the Central Bank of
Venezuela, which the Trump administration says has been instrumental
in propping up the embattled
government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
He also announced sanctions against financial services provider
Bancorp, which he claimed is a “slush fund” for Nicaragua’s
President Daniel Ortega.

“The
United States looks forward to watching each corner of this sordid
triangle of terror fall: in Havana, in Caracas, and in Managua,”
Bolton said in South Florida, which is home to thousands of exiles
and immigrants from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

He
said Obama administration policies gave the Cuban
government “political
cover to expand its malign influence” across
the region, including in Venezuela. Cuba has trained Venezuelan
security forces to repress civilians and support Maduro, Bolton said.

“Havana
continues to prop up Maduro and help him sustain the brutal suffering
of the Venezuelan people,” Bolton said. “As President Trump has
said, Maduro is quite simply a ‘Cuban puppet.’”

“Thousands
of Cuban doctors in Venezuela are being used as pawns by Maduro and
his Cuban sponsors to support his brutal and oppressive reign.”

Bolton’s
pledge to “never, ever abandon” the people of Cuba, Venezuela and
Nicaragua in their fight for freedom also might ring hollow in light
of the historical events he sought to highlight at the event hosted
by the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association.

Many
Cuban Americans to this day resent the late President John F. Kennedy
for not deploying American troops at a critical moment in the Bay of
Pigs invasion.

Meanwhile,
with the high stakes of the Cold War a fading memory, some critics of
U.S. policy toward Venezuela worry that the Trump administration’s
stance that all options are on the table, including a military one,
to oust Maduro is an empty threat that will only serve to ignite the
streets and geopolitical tensions with Russia, compounding the misery
of Venezuelan citizens.

“Honoring
one of U.S.’ greatest military fiascos from 60 years back suggests

U.S.
policy to Latin America owes more now to a perverse Cold War
nostalgia than practical benefits for people of the region,” said
Ivan Briscoe, the Latin American director for the International
Crisis Group (ICG), a think tank headquartered in Brussels.

Bolton
spoke just hours after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced in
Washington a new policy that allows lawsuits against foreign firms
operating on properties Cuba seized from Americans after the 1959
revolution. The United States has enforced a trade blockade against
Cuba since the early 1960s.

The
announcement comes at a moment of severe economic weakness for Cuba,
which is struggling to find enough cash to import basic food and
other supplies following a drop in aid from Venezuela and a string of
bad years in other key economic sectors.

Pompeo
said he won’t renew a bar on litigation that has been in place for
two decades, meaning that lawsuits can be filed starting on May 2
when the current suspension expires. The decision could cost dozens
of Canadian and European companies tens of billions of dollars in
compensation and interest.

Pompeo’s
decision gives Americans the right to sue companies that operate out
of hotels, tobacco factories, distilleries and other properties Cuba
nationalized after Fidel Castro took power. It allows Cubans who
became U.S. citizens years after their properties were taken to sue.

The
Justice Department has certified roughly 6,000 claims as having
merit, according to Kimberly Breier, the top U.S. diplomat for the
Americas. Those claims have an estimated value of $8 billion: $2
billion in property and $6 billion in interest, she said. In
addition, another 200,000 uncertified claims could run into the tens
of billions of dollars, she said.

Breier
said there would be no exceptions to the decision, which has already
prompted stern responses from Canada and Europe as they have vowed to
protect their businesses from lawsuits.

“European
companies that are operating in Cuba will have nothing to worry about
if they are not operating on properties taken from Americans,” she
said.

The
decision deals a severe blow to Havana’s efforts to draw foreign
investment to the island and comes as Trump steps up pressure
to Venezuela’s Maduro, who is holding power with help
from other countries, including Cuba, China and Russia.

Spain,
which has large investments in hotels and other tourism-related
industries on the island, was the first to react. A senior government
official told The Associated Press that Madrid would ask the European
Union to challenge the U.S. move in the World Trade Organization.

Businesses
from Canada, France and Great Britain among other countries also
conduct business in properties nationalized after Castro took power.

Johana
Tablada, Cuba’s deputy director of U.S. affairs, said on Twitter:
“Before they try to euphorically ride a wave of wickedness and
lies, they should take a dose of reality. The world has told John
Bolton and the U.S. government to eliminate the criminal blockade
against Cuba and the Helms-Burton Act” of 1996.

Countries
with large investments in Cuba have ferociously protested the law.

“The
extraterritorial application of the U.S. embargo is illegal and
violates international law,” said Alberto Navarro, the European
Union ambassador to Cuba. “I personally consider it immoral. For 60
years the only thing that’s resulted from the embargo is the
suffering of the Cuban people.”

Maya vrouwen die de terreur en genocide in Guatemala overleefden vechten voor gerechtigheid

Posted on by Willem Wachtmeester

Guatemalteekse
vrouwen (Maya’s) die de genocide en terreur op en tegen deze oorspronkelijke bewoners,in Guatemala overleefden, vechten
voor gerechtigheid.

In
februari 2016 wonnen Guatemalteekse vrouwen die de voortdurende
genocide tegen de Maya’s overleefden, een rechtszaak tegen twee
militairen die werden beschuldigd van huishoudelijke- en
seksslavernij, dit in een historische rechtszaak genaamd de Sepur
Zarco zaak, een dorp dat onevenredig hard werd getroffen door
staatsterreur.

De
rechter verordende destijds ook een herverdeling van grond t.b.v. de
oorspronkelijke bewoners, de oorzaak voor het steeds oplaaiend geweld
tegen die bewoners. In de geschiedenis van Guatemala kregen de Maya’s niet alleen te maken met het verbeurd verklaren van hun
grond eerst door de Spaanse overheersers, maar ook met een op hen uitgevoerde genocide…. (let wel met één van de ‘hoogtepunten’ na WOII, in begin 80er jaren van de vorige eeuw, een genocide die in feite tot de dag van vandaag voortduurt….) In de 20ste eeuw kregen de Maya’s ook te maken met landonteigening t.b.v. buitenlandse investeerders, zoals de United Fruit
Company (UFC) uit de VS…….. 

Door
verbeurd verklaring van grond die toebehoorde aan de United Fruit
Comapny, een knots van een bedrijf uit de VS, greep de CIA in en organiseerde, regisseerde in 1954 een coup* tegen de democratische gekozen regering…… De VS je weet wel, waar de opvolgende
regeringen altijd een grote bek hebben over landen waar geen
democratie bestaat, iets dat ze doen ‘uiteraard’ alleen doen als deze landen anti-VS zijn…..)

Hoewel
we nu 2 jaar verder zijn, is er nog niets gebeurd wat betreft de
herverdeling van land en het ziet er niet naar uit dat dit snel zal
gebeuren……. Onze opvolgende regeringen hebben al helemaal schijt
aan de ellende in Guatemala, waar mensenrechtenschendingen (vooral als het om deze rechten voor de Maya bevolking gaat) aan de orde van de dag zijn, immers de grote heer van onze politici
is nog steeds de VS en die hebben een dikke vinger in de smerige Guatemalteekse pap, ook dat zal nog jaren zo blijven vrees
ik…… Ach ja, Nederlandse regeringen hebben het altijd goed kunnen
vinden met fascisten, met een kleine uitzondering tijdens WOII,
hoewel de foute regering hier ‘goede diensten’ bewees aan het Duitse
nazi-regime, niet voor niets werden hier relatief gezien de meeste
joden afgevoerd naar de dodenkampen, iets waar de Palestijnen tot op de dag van vandaag voor moeten boeten……..

HOW
INDIGENOUS WOMEN WHO SURVIVED GUATEMALA’S CONFLICT ARE FIGHTING FOR
JUSTICE

APRIL

OF GREED 3CIA, COLONIZATION, CONVERSATION, GENOCIDE, GUATEMALA,INDIGENOUS
WOMEN, MAYA, RAPE, SEPUR
ZARCO

Guatemala
(Conversation) – In
February 2016, Guatemalan women survivors and the alliance of
organisations supporting them successfully
prosecuted two
former members of the Guatemalan military for domestic and sexual
slavery in the groundbreaking Sepur Zarco trial. The trial
marked the first time a national court has prosecuted members of its
own military for these crimes. It was an historic
achievement in
the fight to stop violence against women and secure justice for
wartime sexual violence.

And
yet, two years later, the Guatemalan government has not carried out
most of the collective
reparations measures ordered
by the court. In large part this is because the main cause of the
violence – a dispute
over land that
historically belonged to the Maya
Q’eqchi people –
has still not been resolved, even centuries after it began.

Maya
communities were first displaced by Spanish colonisation starting in
the 16th century, and then displaced again in the mid-to-late 19th
and early 20th century. Keen to attract foreign investment, the
Guatemalan government encouraged European settlers to establish
plantations on land expropriated from Maya communities and the
Catholic Church. To this day, many Maya people do not have title to
the land they live on, much of which is dominated by plantations
growing coffee, sugar, bananas and palms
for oil.

But
they have been fighting back. I myself have been following the
struggle centred on the dusty north-eastern village of Sepur Zarco –
a case that pulls together all the threads of what has happened in
Guatemala in the last several decades.

THE
LONG HAUL

Local
indigenous people have been campaigning to settle on and get legal
title to unused land in Sepur Zarco since the early 1950s when the
social democratic government of Jacobo Arbenz passed a law to
redistribute uncultivated land from the largest landowners to
landless peasants. The land concerned included unused land held by
the United Fruit Company, a US banana company with close links to the
Eisenhower administration – the company disputed the compensation
offered to it by the Guatemalan government, and demanded a much
larger sum.

In
the end, the land reform was stymied by a CIA-sponsored
military coup in
1954. That coup in turn sparked Guatemala’s bloody civil war which
lasted until 1996. A post-war UN-led
Truth Commission Report concluded
that during the conflict, an estimated 200,000 people were killed or
disappeared, that rape was commonly used as a weapon of war, and that
the Guatemalan state bore responsibility for the majority of the
atrocities. It also concluded that agents
of the state committed acts of genocide,
since 83% of their victims were Maya and most of the conflict’s 626
documented massacres were of Maya communities.

Most
of these massacres were committed in 1982-83 under the 17-month rule
of recently deceased dictator, Efrain
Rios Montt.
Rios Montt took power in a coup, and was then removed by another. He
was eventually prosecuted by the Guatemalan Supreme Court in 2013
and found
guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity.
His trial featured testimonies of rape
and sexual violence committed
against Maya Ixil women, which were included to show that sexual
violence was part of the genocide.

However,
just ten days after his verdict, the Guatemalan Constitutional
Court annulled
the trial on procedural grounds after
sustained pressure from powerful
sectors of Guatemala’s economy and society.

At
the time of his death, Rios Montt was once
again being prosecuted for genocide –
but this time the trial was taking place with special provisions made
to allow for his diagnosed
dementia.
Rios Montt was in office during the time that the crimes committed at
the Sepur Zarco base were committed, but he was not prosecuted for
those crimes in the Sepur Zarco trial.

The
violence committed against Sepur Zarco’s women and their families
seems to have been a response to their attempts to settle on and get
title to the land, particularly in the late 1970s. According to an
expert witness in the the Sepur Zarco trial, Juan
Carlos Peláez Villalobos,
the military was called in and the indigenous peasant farmers were
denounced as “subversives”.

Women
survivors also pointed to the link between the attempt to get land
titles and the violence committed against them and their husbands.
“The landowners gave them [the military commissioners] a list of
names of men to disappear,” said one of them in her
video testimony to the court.
“They said we were troublemakers.

After
kidnapping and disappearing the men and burning down their families’
huts, the military forced their wives to work on the military
detachment built in the Sepur Zarco community, in 1982. The women
were organised into shifts to cook the soldiers’ food and wash
their clothing. While at the base, all of them were systematically
raped.

Some
women fled into the mountains to escape the violence, where they
spent up to six years struggling to survive with little shelter or
food. Many of their young children perished because of these
conditions. The base remained until 1988. Local men suspected of
being “subversive” were also tortured there by the military.

NO
JUSTICE WITHOUT REPARATIONS MR

In
February 2016, the Guatemalan Supreme Court ruled that
two former members of the military were guilty of forced
disappearances and crimes against humanity in the forms of domestic
and sexual slavery and the murders of one of the women enslaved on
the base, along with her two young daughters. The court also held
that the Guatemalan state had to provide collective reparations for
the benefits of the village of Sepur Zarco and the surrounding
villages.

The
measures would provide basic social and economic rights frequently
denied to Guatemala’s indigenous and rural communities. They also
include the construction of the first local high school, a health
clinic and a monument to the women’s husbands – but the state
will not start the building work so long as Sepur Zarco’s people
don’t have legal title to the land.

The ConversationThe
Sepur Zarco case shows how seriously a community can be affected for
decades, even centuries, by multiple overlapping injustices – from
colonial-era crimes to more recent human rights violations. 

Resolving
the resulting problems has proven hugely difficult. But after more
than 30 years, the women and supporting organisations –
the National
Union of Guatemalan Women (UNGW), Women
Transforming the Worldand
the Community
Studies and Psychosocial Action Team –
are determined to achieve the restorative justice that they have been
struggling for all this time.

De wereld kijkt weg van de vreselijke genocide die Saoedi-Arabië in buurland Jemen op de sjiitische bevolking uitvoert, ‘logisch’ dus dat er al helemaal geen aandacht is voor de etnische zuivering van sjiieten die S-A in eigen land uitvoert……… Terwijl deze uitgevoerd wordt met westerse wapens, o.a. uit Groot-Brittannië en Canada……..

Van onze disfunctionerende PvdA minister van Buitenlandse Zaken hoven we niets te verwachten, zoals hij hooguit z’n grote bek opentrekt als er weer een leugen over Rusland en/of Syrië wordt gepubliceerd in de reguliere media……….

Dat Saoedi-Arabië Jemen in een hongersnood heeft gestort en daar een cholera uitbraak heeft veroorzaakt, waardoor je intussen ronduit over een genocide tegen de sjiitische bevolking kan spreken (alles met feiten onderbouwt), interesseert Koenders en de rest  van het inhumane, ijskoude neoliberale kabinet Rutte 2 geen barst……. Geld verdienen in het geval van S-A staat op nummer 1, genocide en mensenrechten komen ergens na nummer 20…….. (kijk als het om Rusland zou gaan, waren de rapen gaar geweest…..)

Hier een artikel van Middle East Eye, gisteren op Anti-Media gepubliceerd:

Saudi
Bulldozers Flatten Populated Town as Residents Flee Carnage

August
4, 2017 at 8:47 am

Written
by Middle
East Eye

Hundreds
of Shia Muslims in Awamiya are forced from their homes amid fighting
and compulsory evictions.

(MEE) — The
Saudi government has been forcibly relocating residents of the
restive city of Awamiya as clashes continue between soldiers and
militant groups in the old city.

Hundreds
of people have fled or been evacuated from Awamiya since the
beginning of the current troubles which have killed at least seven
people, including two police officers. According to al-Hayat
newspaper, the government received requests from residents and
farmers around Awamiya to help them flee the violence.


However,
activists say that residents have been driven out of their homes and
their properties seized by private development companies, primarily
in and around the historic Almosara district.


An
image sent to Middle East Eye by an Awamiya activist showed a
requisition order pinned to a house in the district of al-Shweikah,
about 6km south of Almosara.


The
order is apparently issued by the Albarahim private property
developer, but it also contains a stamp from the National Joint
Counterterrorism Command (NJCC), a body formed in 2003 following
attacks by al-Qaeda militants in the country.


The
document shows a list of requirements that residents can bring to the
local authorities in order to be relocated.


Awamiya
has long been a flashpoint for protests by Saudi’s Shia minority –
the influential cleric Nimr al-Nimr, who was executed by the Saudi
government in 2016, came from the town and demonstrations and unrest
has been frequent.


Al-Hayat
quoted Falah al-Khalidi, the governor of Qatif province, as saying
contracts had been signed “for a number of furnished apartments in
the city of Dammam to shelter those interested in leaving
neighbourhoods near Almosara”.

However,
according to social media reports and activists, many of those
displaced have yet to be rehoused.

“What
I see from the first day there is a collective punishment… there is
a plan for forced displacement,” said Ameen Nemer, a Saudi activist
originally from Awamiya. “It
doesn’t matter where these people will end up.”


He
told MEE that the depopulation and destruction of the town was
ultimately politically motivated, rather than driven by development
or terrorism.

“It
has nothing to do with Almosara and development, it has to do with
punishing this town for being vocal for calling for rights, calling
for reforms since 2011.”

Firing
randomly

Confirming
precise details about the situation in Qatif has long been difficult
due to tight controls over media scrutiny imposed by the Saudi
authorities.

Reuters
reported earlier this year that foreign media could visit the area
only if they accompanied by government officials, purportedly for
safety reasons.

Information
has largely come from either Saudi government press releases, local
activists, or Shia-focused news sites.

Local
activists accuse security forces of driving residents out of Awamiya
by firing randomly towards homes and cars as they confront armed men
in the area, charges Saudi Arabia denies.

They
said several houses and shops have been burned or damaged by the
fighting.

Much
of the city has been left without electricity, water, rubbish
collection or fire services. Private generators have been badly
damaged by shooting and those remaining in the city face intense
summer heat without air conditioning.

Although
local committees have been set up to try to maintain some services,
it is becoming increasing difficult for many residents to stay in the
city.

Andrew
Hammond, a consultant on Middle East politics, said that the emptying
of Awamiya could be part of a strategy to enact demographic change in
the disruptive Shia region of Saudi Arabia.

“It
fits that pattern,” he told MEE. “It’s something that’s
happened in the Gulf, in Bahrain, it’s something that’s happened
outside the Gulf in Israel-Palestine.

“I
think it would make sense to analyse it in that way.”


He
added that the fighting also worked as a “useful diversion” from
the political unrest in the Saudi palace following the supplanting of
former crown prince Mohammed bin Nayef with the current king’s
youthful son Mohammed bin Salman.

“That’s been
more complex  than I think they would have hoped for – I think
there’s been some resistance to it, there’s nervousness about how
much irritation there is with what happened to the extent that [bin
Nayef] didn’t leave the country in recent weeks when he was meant
to leave the country,” he explained.

“So
I think there’s this political tension in the country at the
moment, and it’s always this fight with the Shia that functions
usefully for them in that sense.”

Foreign
arms controversy

Last
week, Canada announced it would be investigating possible use of its
equipment in the operations in Qatif, following a report in the Globe
and Mail that light armoured vehicles sold by Canada to Saudi Arabia
had been involved in the clashes.

A
spokesman indicated that the Canadian foreign minister, Chrystia
Freeland, was “deeply concerned about this situation and has asked
officials to review it immediately”.

“If
it is found that Canadian exports have been used to commit serious
violations of human rights, the minister will take action,” said
spokesman John Babcock.

The
controversial $13bn contract to supply Riyadh with light armoured
vehicles was struck by the previous Conservative government in
Canada.

Trudeau’s
Liberal government has had to defend this contract against criticism
that it may have violated Canada’s export control rules that bar
arms exports to countries with a poor human rights record and that
prohibit using these weapons against civilians.

Other
governments, including the UK and US, have yet to comment on the
situation in Qatif.

The
UK government, one of Saudi’s closest allies, has approved at least
194 export licences for arms and related equipment to Saudi Arabia
since March 2015, worth more than $4.3bn. Among the products bought
are guns, crowd control and anti-riot equipment.

The
British Foreign Office refused to answer questions about the
situation in Awamiya and whether there was any investigation into the
use of British equipment.

A
spokesman said: “The UK operates one of the most robust export
control regimes in the world and we keep our defence exports to Saudi
Arabia under careful and continual review.” (ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! GB levert zelfs clusterbommen aan S-A!!)

Indonesië geeft landbouwgrond aan steenkoolmaffia, gevolg: hoge voedselprijzen en daarmee ondervoeding voor miljoenen………

Posted on by Willem Wachtmeester

Gisteren ontving ik een petitie van het Care2 team waardoor de haren me te berge rezen. De corrupte Indonesische overheid ontneemt boeren hun landbouwgrond t.b.v. de steenkoolmaffia. Intussen is al 20% van de rijstvelden ten slachtoffer gevallen aan mijnbouw……

Uiteraard heeft dit z’n weerslag op de voedselprijs en daarmee voor de mogelijkheid van het grote aantal arme mensen in Indonesië zich goed te kunnen voeden…….. 20 miljoen mensen komen niet aan hun dagelijkse basis voedselbehoefte en 8 miljoen kinderen zijn al ondervoed……….

De gebieden waar die deels dagmijnbouw heeft plaatsgevonden, zijn voor vele generaties onbruikbaar geworden voor de teelt van rijst en groente, dit ook vanwege het gebruik van chemicaliën voor deze mijnbouw……… De mensen in die gebieden krijgen mede daardoor te maken met vervuild drinkwater, terwijl ze niet de middelen hebben die gebieden te verlaten……

Lees de petitie en onderteken deze ajb, geeft het door aan familie, vrienden en bekenden!

Indonesia:
Put People Before Pollution

                 

In
Indonesia, access to food isn’t a privilege shared by all. 20
million people don’t get their basic dietary requirements met every
day. 8 million children under the age of five are malnourished.

But
instead of addressing the factors behind these sad statistics, like
food costs, the government is doing the opposite.

With
millions of people facing food insecurity in the country, Indonesia
is handing over agricultural lands to mining companies. Already
coal interests have taken hold of nearly 20% of the country’s
rice-growing land. As a result, food costs are increasing, and those
in need are left without enough to eat.

These
mines are also polluting the environment. In addition to the huge
impact on climate change, coal mining leads to land and water
degradation. Chemical runoffs make lands unsuitable for future
agricultural use, affecting community health for generations.
Villagers living near mining areas have no choice but to use the
water contaminated by coal mines.

The
Indonesian government must get its priorities straight. As
the fourth most populous country in the world, the government’s
decisions matter. The world doesn’t need
more coal, but the Indonesian people do need
food security.

Tell
President Joko Widodo to stop putting the interests of polluters
ahead of his own people.

Thank
you,

Alex

Oproep aan Griekse volk: kom in opstand tegen de EU dictatuur!!

Posted on by Willem Wachtmeester

Afgelopen maandag kreeg ik middels Information Clearing House een volkomen terechte oproep van Peter Koenig aan het Griekse volk om in opstand te komen.

Koenig betoogt o.a. dat Griekenland afgelopen september door de Europese Commissie (let wel: een niet democratisch gekozen orgaan!!) werd gedwongen om in een paar dagen tijd een 2.000 pagina’s tellend document te lezen en te tekenen….. Een in het Engels opgesteld, onleesbaar document met nieuwe wetgeving voor Griekenland, waarmee de Griekse overheid de zeggenschap over haar publieke voorzieningen (eigendom) overgeeft aan de EU…….

Griekenland tekende en gaf al haar staatseigendommen voor de komende 99 jaar over aan het Europees Stabiliteitsmechanisme (ESM), alweer niet democratisch gekozen EU orgaan….. Daarmee staat het het ESM vrij om o.a. de volgende zaken voor een appel en ei te verkopen: havens, spoorwegen, vliegvelden (voor een deel al in handen van een rijke Duitse plork), openbare infrastructuur en zelfs openbaar toegankelijke stranden………

Dit naast het feit, dat onder de druk van de Trojka*, de Grieken voor het grootste deel, inclusief de gepensioneerden in de totale armoede zijn gestort. Voorts werden onder deze druk  de arbeidsvoorwaarden van de Grieken uitgekleed en werden de salarissen en pensioenen verlaagd. Door de Grieken in armoede te storten, liep de al wankele Griekse economie grote klappen op en gingen een fiks aantal bedrijven failliet…… Gevolg: minder inkomsten voor de Griekse staat, waardoor de schulden nog verder op zijn gelopen. Intussen kunnen veel Grieken, ook terminale patiënten zich zelfs geen medicijnen veroorloven……….

Het meest zieke is wel, dat grote Griekse bedrijven gebruik maken van brievenbusmaatschappijen, o.a. in  Nederland, waarmee de Griekse overheid vele miljoenen aan belastinggeld misloopt…… Hoofdverantwoordelijken voor die belastingontduiking in Nederland: VVD, PvdA, CDA en D66, waar PvdA hufter Dijsselbloem de afgelopen 4 jaar de hoofdrol speelde……. (denk daaraan als u nog gaat stemmen!)  

Zelfs de rente betalingen op de zogenaamd aan Griekenland verstrekte gelden, kan Griekenland onmogelijk betalen en kan het land nooit uit de stront komen…….

Open
Letter to the People of Greece: You Are Being Slaughtered

By
Peter Koenig

You
are being slaughtered right in front of the world’s eyes and nobody
says beep. Least the Greek elite. Your Government. A few, but a few
too many, allow the slaughter because it doesn’t concern them. They
are blinded by the false glamour of the euro and of belonging to the
‘elite class’ of the noble Europeans (sic!).

They
apparently live well enough, including the caviar socialists of
Syriza. They let their country bleed to death literally, morally,
socially and psychologically. Medical care is no longer available or
privatized and unaffordable. Pensions were reduced five times. They
were never more than a survival kit. By now they have been slashed in
some cases by over 50%. Hordes of people live on food handouts. Most
social services, including to a large extent education have been sold
out, privatized. Gone with a flicker. Gone, by order of Germany –
and the holy troika – the criminal gang of three, IMF, European
Central Bank (EIB) and the European Commission (EU); the latter a
mere bunch of unelected corrupt puppets, deciding the fate of some
800 million Europeans – with YOU, the Greek people, accepting
carrying the brunt end of the stick.

In
September 2016, the unelected European Commission sent Greece a
Brussels-drafted legislation of over 2,000 pages, in English, to be
ratified by the Greek Parliament within a few days – or else. –
Nobody asked: ‘What is else’?

Brussels
didn’t even bother translating this unreadable legalistic heap of
paper into Greek, nor did they allow the Parliament enough time to
read, digest and debate the new fiscal legislation. Most
parliamentarians could not read them, either because of language or
due to the imposed time limit. The Parliament ratified the
legislation anyway.

Under
this new law, Greece is transferring all public assets (public
infrastructure, airports, ports even public beaches, natural
resources, etc.), unconditionally, for 99 years, to the European
Stability Mechanism (ESM) which is free to sell (privatize) them at
fire sales prices to whomever is interested – supposedly to pay
back the Greek debt. The fund was originally estimated, certainly
under-estimated – at about 50 billion euros. In the meantime, the
value of the Greek assets has been further downgraded by the troika
to between 5 and 15 billion euros, as compared to Greece’s debt of
more than 350 billion euros. The ESM is a supranational undemocratic
apparatus, accountable to no one.

With
this legislation, the Greek Parliament – YOUR Parliament, Esteemed
People of Greece! – has annulled itself. It is no longer allowed to
pass any budget or fiscal (tax) legislation. Everything is decided in
Brussels in connivance with the IMF and the ECB. The last time a
similar situation happened was in 1933, when the German “Reichstag”
(Parliament) transferred all of its legislative power to Chancellor
Adolf Hitler.

This,
Dear People of Greece – is sheer economic fascism, right in front
of your eyes, the world’s eyes, but nobody wants to see it. The
worst blind is the one who doesn’t want to see.

This
asset seizure was confirmed when the last hope for at least some debt
relief was dashed at the end of February this year. Even the IMF
initially recommended and today still privately recommends debt
relief. However, Germany without mercy announced the final pillage of
Greece, requesting Greece to surrender gold, utilities and real
estate to the ESM – largely managed by Germany. The next ‘bailout’
amount, if Greece goes to her knees and surrenders everything, might
be 86 billion euros, meaning NEW DEBT. In exchange of what? More
interest, a higher debt service (interest and debt amortization) —
and an even bleaker outlook to ever, and I mean ever, getting out of
this US-European fascism imposed process of killing of a nation.

Chancellor
Angela Merkel is reported to have said, “Berlin’s stance on
Greece’s bailout program remained unchanged”, after she met with
IMF chief Christine Lagarde a few days ago
(http://russia-insider.com/en/greece-surrender-gold-public-utilities-and-real-estate-exchange-pieces-paper-printed-brussels).

Some
facts about Greece’s debt, as of 9 March 2017:

Population
10.8 million.

Debt:
352 billion euros (interest per second: 617 euros; debt per citizen:
32,580 euros).

Interest
per year: 19.5 billion euros.

Total
Greek bailout funds from 2010 to end 2016: in excess of 250 billion
euros – none of which went to Greece for the benefit of the people,
but to pay debt service to the troika and pay off mostly German and
French private banks.

Debt
as a percentage of GDP: 181% (GDP 195 billion euros);
2008 Debt to
GDP: 109% (less than today’s US debt to GDP ratio of 109.63%).

Greece’s
GDP amounts to less than 2% of EU’s GDP.

Greek
GDP has collapsed by more than 25% since 2008.

Unemployment
is rampant – with an average of 26% – and close to 50% for young
people (18 to 35).

Greece’s
debt in 2008 would have been totally manageable internally, without
outside interference, or so-called ‘bailouts’ – which are
really not bailouts but forced debt accumulation.

Greece’s
debt was NEVER a threat to the European Union, as the FED / ECB / WS
bankster propaganda made you believe. The Greek and subsequent
“European Crisis” was entirely fabricated by the banksters for
their benefit, at the detriment of Greece and Europe. It had nothing
to do with the Greek or European debt. But nobody questioned it.
Those European and international top economists and politicians who
knew, didn’t dare to speak out. The voices of those who did dare to
speak the truth were muffled. The people of Europe were lied to,
including the Greek, as usual by the presstitute media.

Let’s
put the Greek debt in perspective.

In
September 2011, without warning, the Swiss National Bank (SNB)
devalued the Swiss franc by about 12% against the euro to protect its
economy. This was an unfair move – to say the least, since none of
the euro-zone bound countries has the liberty to re-or devalue its
currency, as deemed necessary by their economy, i.e. Greece. While
Switzerland is not a direct member of the EU, Switzerland is
nevertheless bound to the EU by more than 120 bilateral contracts,
thereby de
facto a
EU member.

During
the 3 ¼ years of locking the exchange rate into a fixed rate of at
least CHF 1.20 per euro, the SNB amassed more than 500 billion francs
in extra foreign currency, mostly in euro. This is about 150% of
Greece’s current debt.

Switzerland,
a country of 8 million people, in theory, could bail out Greece’s
full debt, say, at no interest, by a 50-year loan (World Bank IDA
terms) – in solidarity; and to compensate a bit for the SNB’s
questionable ethics vis-à-vis EU members. Switzerland would not
suffer. To the contrary, such a move would help stem the risk of a
Swiss currency inflation, due to the huge amounts of Swiss francs
that needed to be ‘printed’ to maintain the artificial exchange
rate against the euro. Would Switzerland be prepared to engage in
such a solidary rescue action? –Probably not.

People
of Greece! – Wake up.

Take
things in your own hands! Don’t believe you politicians, your
media! Get out of this criminal organization called the European
Union, and this fraudulent western monetary system that is strangling
you to death. Take back your sovereignty, your own currency. Default
on your debt – the west can do nothing about it. Not if you run
your country with your own public banks, and your own money,
gradually but surely rebuilding a destroyed economy. Debt repayment
is negotiable. Cases abound around the world. Argentina is one of the
more recent ones. Even Germany renegotiated its foreign debt in 1952
(see London Agreement of German External Debt). 

Germany,
the leader of this economic massacre of Greece, owes Greece huge WWII
reparation payments. On
8 February 2015, PM Tsipras requested Germany to pay up her full
reparation debt to Greece of an equivalent of 279 billion euros, in
today’s terms.
Germany replied in April 2015 that the reparation issue was resolved
in 1990 – which, of course, it wasn’t. It cannot be excluded that
much of the German pressure on Greece today is a means of deviating
the world’s attention of the reparation debt Germany owes to
Greece.

People
of Greece, be aware of what is going on. Do NOT ACCEPT what your
government, Brussels and the troika are doing to YOU and YOUR
country. To the contrary, request the full reparation payment from
Germany – and demand GREXIT, as a fully legitimate follow-up to
YOUR July 2015 overwhelming NO vote to more austerity-imposing troika
‘rescue’ packages. 

If
you do, you will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel — a
light that has been blacked-out for too long by Germany and the
gangsters of the troika and your own government.

Threats
of Expulsion from the Euro Zone

German
Finance Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble still is attempting bluffing the
Greeks and impressing the rest of the world by threatening Greece
with expulsion from the Euro. Any sane government would turn that
threat into its own initiative and abandon this putrefied monster
called European Union, along with its fake and fraudulent common
currency, called euro. But that’s the problem, Greece is reigned by
insanity.

So,
the Greek Government responds to insanity (from the troika) with
insane submissiveness, namely with meek compliance – to the
detriment of millions of their already deprived and enslaved
compatriots.

Among those (still) influential Greek highflyers is
Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis; the legendary and
charming, ‘radical’, Motorcycle Minister. Though he resigned in
apparent protest of the Syriza compliance with the troika’s
requests despite the NO vote, today he is nothing more than a
conformist, who is seeking few nominal ‘reforms’ in Brussels, but
by no means wants Grexit, let alone the collapse of the EU – which,
by the way, is fortunately imminent. As Greek Minister of Finance,
Varoufakis never even had the ‘Option Grexit’ as a Plan ‘B’

(http://www.defenddemocracy.press/greece-disaster-capitulation/).

Nobody
screams, yells, revolts, takes to the streets, blocks streets,
bridges, railways, for days, weeks, interrupts the still ongoing
commerce of the foreign owners of what’s left of YOUR country’s
public assets. Nobody. This is not to blame the Greek who have to
fight for sheer survival, who have to find ways to feed their kids
and families, but the j’accusegoes
to the Tsipras- Syriza clan and all those Greek elitists, the media
(are they all bought like in Germany by the CIA?) and
parliamentarians, who just watch in awe – but stand by. No action.
Watching Greece – YOUR country, People of Greece! – bleeding to
death.

Be
aware, this is in fact not about debt and bailouts. If they tell you
that the European ‘debt crisis’ is Greece’s fault, and that a
new crisis is brewing, depending on how well Greece will conform to
the rules of the next bail out – it is an outrageous lie. This
crisis is manufactured by the very European, their elite, the FED-led
Goldman Sachse’s of this world, who run the European Central Bank
through Mario Draghi, a former GS executive – who de
facto runs
the European economy.

Why
do they want Greece under their boots? – They, the scum of Brussels
and ‘swamp’ of Washington (as President Trump used to call the
Washington Deep State ‘establishment’), want a submissive Greece.
Because Greece is in a highly strategic geographic location, at the
cross-roads of west and east. Greece is a NATO country. Maybe the
second most important NATO country (after Turkey), because of its
strategic position. They don’t want Greece to be run by a
‘left-wing’ government. Syriza, of course, is everything but
left-wing. It is as neoliberal as they come. The masters of the
universe want ‘Regime Change’ – the good old regime change that
threatens all those who do not bend to the rules of the west. Right
now, the Syriza government is bending backwards over to please the
money masters and to let her people be miserably humiliated and
ruined.

Were
Greece to hold new elections and let a right-wing party and Prime
Minister win, à la New
Democracy or
even the fascist Golden
Dawn,
or a coalition of the two – the debt problem would go away, almost
overnight. What Washington wants, and Brussels by (puppet) extension,
is a compliant Greece that will never ever question its role in NATO,
never question the EU, never question its shackles to the euro, and
never question the US access to the Mediterranean Sea – rich in
deep off-shore minerals and hydrocarbons. The same applies, by the
way, also to Italy, Spain and Portugal – also riparian states of
the Mediterranean Sea. Their governments have already been changed by
outside (US / EU) interference to right-wing neoliberal compliant
stooges.

The
Greek elite and government inaction is inexcusable. This is Stockholm
syndrome at its worst. Submissive to their hangman, until death do us
part. And death in the form of total destruction, total pillage,
total slavery, is not far away.

Do
you, People of Greece, want to continue this path to slavery by a
predatory empire, that will eventually call the shots on every move
you make?

Or
do you want to get your sovereignty back, your own currency – and
be unshackled from the dictate of Brussels – and start afresh –
as the noble and wise Greek people, who brought Democracy to the
world some 2500 years ago? – Surely, Greece still has visionaries
and the wisdom to remake Democracy. Remember, while we cannot change
our geographic location – the future is irrefutably in the EAST.

Let’s
live again Greece!

Long
live the People of Greece!

*  De Trojka: de ECB, de Europese Commissie en het IMF, gesteund door ‘onze’ PvdA hufter Dijsselbloem als voorzitter va de Eurogroep, die op uiterst onbeschofte manier de Grieken te kakken zette, e.e.a. gebaseerd op fantasieën en ronduit leugens. Daarmee oefende Dijsselbloem als voorzitter van die Eurogroep grote druk uit op Griekenland, zich te houden aan de afspraken met de Trojka en waarmee hij in feite andere EU landen opriep druk uit te oefenen op de Grieken…….

Griekenland en het groeiend aantal leugens over de ‘schuldencrisis……’

Posted on by Willem Wachtmeester

De anti-Griekse propaganda draait op volle toeren, de gangbare media doen ‘lekker’ mee met de politici, die de ene leugen en verdraaiing van waarheden op elkaar stapelen.

Vanmorgen op Radio1 (rond 8.10 u.) o.a. de Erasmus econoom Ivo Arnold. Hij stelde dat de Grieken best wel wat schuldvermindering krijgen, als ze akkoord gaan met beperking van de pensioenen en een fikse btw verhoging…… De Grieken moeten de komende week maar eens leren wat het betekent als er geen geld is, aldus Arnold….. Met andere woorden: chantage!! Beperking van de pensioenen?? Die zijn al stevig aangepakt en het merendeel van de Grieken, krijgen na die verlagingen niet veel meer dan € 200,– per maand, blijkbaar kan daar nog wel wat vanaf, terwijl de armoede schrijnend is, zo kunnen zelfs terminale patiënten moeilijk, of niet aan de nodige medicijnen komen, vele Grieken hebben vanwege een gebrek aan geld, hun huis verlaten en wonen samen met familie in één, veel te klein huis…..

Na Arnold kwam het PvdA ADHD keffertje Nijboer aan het woord, hij maakte het zo mogelijk nog bonter. De Griekse regering treedt onverantwoord op de laatste maanden, aldus deze neoliberale hufter. Hij citeerde Dijsselbloem nog eens, ‘dat de deur nog steeds open staat….’* Voorts stelt Nijboer, dat Griekenland niets heeft gedaan aan het belasten van de rijken, dat is aantoonbaar onjuist, Griekenland heeft de wet wel degelijk aangepast, maar zoals u in de link kunt lezen, het belastingapparaat is uiterst zwak en dat zal eerst opnieuw opgebouwd moeten worden. Hetzelfde geldt voor corruptie, iets dat Nijboer ook aanhaalde….. Neem Nederland en de belastinghervormingen, daar is al een kapitaal aan uitgegeven, maar in feite is er geen bliksem veranderd, behalve dan dat de grote onderlaag de sjors is en alweer zal moeten inleveren, met hulp van de partij van Nijboer, de PvdA!! Bovendien weigert Nederland iets te doen, aan de Griekse bedrijven, die in ons land, de Griekse belasting ontduiken, ook daar is de PvdA mede verantwoordelijk…..

Nijboer stelde dat de EU ‘best wel wat wil aanpassen (ten voordele van de Grieken)… ha! ha! ha! ha! Nou, Nijboer, daar was de laatste maanden niets van te merken, flapdrol!! Het is slikken of stikken, en dat over bedragen, die de EU in 6 maanden tijd extra aan geld bijdrukt…. Over dat ‘aanpassen van de EU’, stelt Nijboer tegelijk, dat de Griekse regering zich dan wel verantwoord moet opstellen. Met andere woorden: de btw verhogen, zodat het overgrote deel van de Grieken nog verder in de stront zakt en de pensioenen nog verder verlagen, want hoewel Nijboer en Arnold stellen, dat de pensioenen eindelijk aangepakt moeten worden, zijn deze z.a. eerder gezegd, wel degelijk flink verlaagd……

Nijboer durfde te zeggen, dat de Grieken best aan armoedebestrijding en de de werkloosheid mogen werken, dat heeft de PvdA altijd gevonden……. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Met alle maatregelen, die de Grieken al hebben genomen, ook door de vorige neoliberale klote regering, is de armoede niet bestreden, maar juist zwaar verdiept en de economie is door al die maatregelen nog verder gekrompen…… Waardoor niet alleen de armoede gigantisch is gestegen, maar ook de werkloosheid!!

Nijboer stelde ook, dat Griekenland bedrijven, die teveel in handen van bepaalde families zijn, moeten worden onteigend…….. ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Eerst moesten de Grieken de publieke sector verkleinen en staatsbedrijven privatiseren, waardoor een aantal van die bedrijven voor een appel en een ei zijn verkocht en nu wil Nijboer bedrijven onteigenen…… ha! ha! ha! ha! Wat een top-idioot!!

De Griekse regering staat met de rug tegen de muur en kan onmogelijk de zwaar verarmde bevolking nog verder uitnemen, ook al zouden we dat hier, totaal inhumaan en onbeschoft wel doen (en in feite al doen).

Morgen vindt er een steunbetoging voor de Grieken in Amsterdam plaats, bent u in de gelegenheid, ga en laat zien, dat er nog genoeg weldenkende humane Nederlanders zijn. Ik heb gezocht naar de tijd en plaats, maar kan deze (nog) niet vinden, mocht u het weten reageer dan a.u.b. onder dit bericht, of op trippleu@gmail.com. De solidariteitsdemonstratie is vanavond (30 juni 2015) op het Museumplein in Amsterdam van 18.30 – 22.30 u.

* Zie: ‘Dijsselbloem en Lagarde: ‘de deur staat open voor de Grieken….’ ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha!‘

Zie ook: ‘Griekenland en de crisis, nu eens niet de leugens die u dagelijks worden voorgeschoteld, maar de feiten uitgelegd door Ewald Engelen’
