Christo-Geopolitical Dimension of EU-Greek Struggle

Introduction

As EU-Greek crisis moves into another gear a new realisation is dawning on majority of Europeans who are apathetic by persuasion. The ping-pong of summits and proposals between Brussels & Athens are facades behind serious power struggle beyond apparent class struggle. This is the renewing of aggressive spiritual power struggle at geopolitical scale in the likes of previous centuries and now delineating new spatial and locational consequences. This is a fatal struggle between international capital behind the farce called Troika and Greece (for electing the wrong government).  In the final analysis, Athens has options built in her millennia-long Christian heritage for lasting solution.

1^st, Death of Democracy

The first casualty in many asymmetric power struggles is truth. The powerful secular media that control and re-redirect the narrative seem to have a hypnotised audience in the European core feeding voraciously as their profit increases with painting Greece black. Apparently in an era of ideological regression the Greek government is misrepresented as left-leaning when no such thing exists. Greeks count for nothing. For those especially the commons who assimilate media contents without critical analysis, there is simplicity of offender/offended in black and white to consume in faith. Complexity is unfriendly with time hence the buoyancy of 24-hour news.

Without recounting the political trails, Greece (infected with austerity) is currently no longer digested as the so-called origin of European democracy and or European civilisation as such honour no longer fit the times. By so doing a re-appropriation of narrative imposed sharp anathema to any mention of current Greek democratic credentials. The government is elected but....So the option gradually unveiled is regime-change by stealth orchestrated by Berlin and backed by Washington DC.

There is no doubt the debate cannot fail to recognise that Greek citizens in previous governments deliberately and against the laws of the land spearheaded to dubiously borrow huge funds under opaque odious condition in cahoots with dubious foreign lenders. Probably in the name of democracy!

Dissociating Europe from Independence

The first sign that the current crisis will be not have a smooth run was when the German Chancellor hid behind that facade of economic multilateralism to abdicate leadership and responsibility by inviting IMF to sort out ‘storms’ from Athens.  This would have been a European affair with lasting solutions generated and implemented with EU system and institutions.  In any case Berlin didn’t think that Dublin experience can be repeated in Athens with robustness i.e. transfer of private (bank) debt to public balance sheet hence converting country into austerity/debt colonies.  

With IMF on the driving seat, Washington DC’s imprimatur is fait accompli with iron-clad endorsement.  Regardless of geographical configuration, the dominant driver of these virulent austerity expectations is international capital that has finally & successfully invaded and held government in captivity.  International capital is a network of interlocking, powerful and experienced inter-generational geopolitical profiteers whose emergence gradually took hold since 18^th century on the back of evil winds of Renaissance and Reformation.

The Power of Religious Geography & Time

Even before austerity became the economic doctrine of European Union, spatial delineation of territory presented a binary split between the haves and the previously had. Of course it is also the case that Bonn and Paris complemented each other in their geopolitical design on Europe under Washington DC auspices (probably without scenario of USSR collapse), the practical expectations of the economic grand design remained hollow and fudged. If experiences are fast-forwarded to 2008 and beyond, a clear geographical conclusion emerges. 

Whether your refer to them as Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece & Spain (PIIGS) or emerging France, Italy, Greece & Spain (FIGS); these are Catholic-majority countries whose primary shone and extinguished before 20^th century. In the case of Ireland, the light never shined.  These were grand players in the erstwhile Christendom, dividing up the known world, imposition and genociding populations mischievously in God’s name. Papal authority was as much potent in the era until its temporal powers were prophetically decapitated and consigned to few acres of Roman fields. Apparently all the countries of Europe with constitutional monarchies are mostly non-catholic; this is no mere geographical fluk.

Curiously these spaces of current austerity and colonies of virulent capitalism where geopolitical giants of earlier centuries and now have not only fallen on hard times but are in irreversible decline that shames their past histories. It remains to be seen or concluded that the austerity spaces have become victims of Weberian convolution of protestant capitalism bearing in mind that the essential theological-biblical underpinning is compromised and in some sense heretical. 

Historical Profiteering Political Ventures

Geopolitical reconfiguration remains an active instrument of non-provincial ambition and the middle of the 18^th century open the lid towards overthrowing of old systems dominated by strong link to the Catholic faith. PIIGS[1] and FIGS as former strongholds turned into veritable experimental spaces for Renaissance/Reformation-propelled revolutions of replacement. The governors of these territories at the time may not have given serious responses to the challenges to their prerogatives by supposed usurpers. However the power of profit and capital unhinged from political aprons saw opportunity in exploiting networks of powerful contacts within the empires to increase wealth accumulation by any means necessary including genocidal bloodshed.

Beyond the bland histories of revolutions, revolutionary conflicts and violent overthrows; are strategic investments and robust logistics made by their anti-Christian investors over time towards successful ousting and consolidation of power in any Catholic capital of interest. French revolution is nothing more than an upstage and repositioning of the profiteering structures of the empire and her possession to favour International capital. 

Of course the dark forces behind these changes emerged from the supine and weakened attention of the Catholic faithful as various prophetic warnings were dismissed and disregarded. 1789 couldn’t have been starker with the enthronement of a republic based on nebulous liberty, equality & fraternity while Catholic Church and faith overnight became an object of destruction and targets of annihilation. Current French indebtedness is an old as the revolutions as investor continued to lend fund for Napoleonic & successive wars to the present day.

Almost a 100 years later similar stirrings commenced in Imperial (Orthodox Catholic) Russia with International capital offering funds, ideas, strategies and logistics over time with most the assistance coming from United States. This is the same United States that Imperial Russia rescued from her obnoxiously imposed civil war as the only reliable ally against profiteers. Casualties of the pre-Bolshevik era include Prime Minister Stolypin and thousands of innocent Russians. The usual misinforming narrative of imperial incompetence and maladministration have no serious basis considering that towards the end of the 19^th century Russia successfully completed the biggest construction project in the world; Trans-Siberia Railway. By 1917 the imperial system was fully compromised, weakened and overthrown.

Lenin was no genius as approximated rather a figurehead of the new band of profiteers. His sponsorship by International capital in Europe is no secret as there is no evidence he arrived Moscow in a sealed train. Moreover the loot he commandeered from revolutionary upheaval and profit therefrom with his International capital sponsors is equally obvious in suppressed evidence. Of course Imperial Russia was a bastion of Orthodox Catholicism which apparently is an obstacle to regressive capitalism. So the 1917 Fatima Prophecy on Russia was a divine imprimatur on the consolidation of transnational secular &moral regression already in progress and advanced by International capital. 

Naturally anti-God mask of profit suppressed Orthodox faith. It is also important to stress that energy invested in contrasting communism with capital has no basis. At least Bolshevik communism is an extension of virulent capitalism which is simply the greatest maximisation of profit/wealth in human history. United States investment in Bolshevik Russia/USSR is the single unitary & primary driver of its existence for the period it lasted (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution by Anthony Sutton). 

USSR was a geopolitical business funded and financed by and from United States even if it means a genocide of a most of the population Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development Vol. 1 -3, by Anthony Sutton).  To suggest that the peoples of the USSR paid a high price for Bolshevism will be a gross understatement. Disinformation and misinformation will not countenance it with near certainty of strongly embedded inter-generational abuse of history in the West. 

Once again with powerful instruments of disinformation and misinformation, the context of friction was minimised by those purported to be against Bolshevik communism in the open (West). When one reviews erstwhile cooperation between various Western governments and the Vatican, and also with underground Church in USSR against Moscow during the period; reality maybe contested in light contrary evidence. The whole project of Cold War was and remains a great farce. The real battle was and remains the global geopolitical spiritual power struggle evidenced in not just secularisation which is the erosion of faith/Catholic Church based doctrine but the elimination of God/Christ. Why would a government ban faith/Church for basic social & economic control? For victory in spiritual warfare!

Tightening the Noose

As the beast of EU in collusion with international capital makes delayed assault on the Greek peoples, there was the assurance that Athens will not hold for long. Bundled news fed each day deliberately refuse to yield details of negotiations, points of agreement and reasons for rejection beyond ‘numbers-don’t-add-up’. Greek government crossed their red lines many times beyond count even to the point of challenging their legitimacy based on pre-election manifesto.

Nevertheless their core position reflects that comprehensive debt repayment where applicable must involve the rich paying more and cutting down on large public expenses like military.  What is wrong with high corporation tax with caveat on the top earning bracket? What is wrong with high tax for gambling/casinos? What is wrong cutting down defence spending in peace time? What is wrong with assisting with prosecution of alleged looters of Greek funds?

Therefore the negotiations are made to drag for as long as possible for Greek people to lose faith in their government, tantamount to voting them out in the next election. This geopolitical tactics of psychological operation alias colour revolution must have been anticipated by Greek interlocutors. There is equally an expectation that Athens will be panicked into folding from her core position which also failed. Image-wise EU is presented as a compromised & weak geopolitical player only fit to join conflicts with no expertise/courage in resolutions. If only EU responded appropriately to ‘too-big-to-fail-bank’ problem?

By tightening the noose on Athens and in the absence of Greek capitulation, the political face of international capital will be forced into either undermining itself or yield temporarily against her own conflicting positions. While austerity thrives on very weak credentials, its political potential lacks promise either as voters across Europe watch in bemusement. What is characteristic of Greek opponents is the absence of any element of so-called Christian European values such as debt forgiveness, compassion, kindness and trust. In any case Europe is either less Christian or not Christian at all. The currency of her Christian foundation rings hollow and inconsequential and those driving the hard bargain against Greece do not lay any claim to Christianity i.e. resurrection.  

Battle for the Church

One of the main features of these developments is the apparent disinterestedness of the Catholic Church on this crisis. There is perceived imperviousness in the geopolitical clout of Rome and in the combined opportunities in ethnic conglomerate of the Orthodox Church. As stated earlier countries of former catholic empires have been inundated by the serious invasion of destructive capital in the last 500 years. Do the various arms of the Church appreciate the seriousness and delicate nature of these carefully executed onslaughts?

Case can be made that in the light of current exploits by international capital, it is reaching the end of a phase. Are their opportunities for the Church to seriously engage with this development and arrest it? There are. The vocation of the Church is to pray and pray powerfully. Despite its subordination and dismissal in the West, her praying potency is not lost as testament of her efficacy stubbornly defies her assailants.

Starting with Greece which is dedicated to the Church as her blue and white flag with cross testifies, the Greek Orthodox Church should seeking solidarity and in union with Rome and protestant groups institute prayer sessions with huge participation in public spaces across the land over a period of time. The power of prayer cannot be understated and the power of collective supplication is even more instrumental to reversing entrenched positions of adversaries.

This is the only viable tool of success in this struggle between spiritual powers for the domination of lands and peoples. It matters little if Greece belongs to the EU or not, EU is another flawed geopolitical configuration although with biblical justification; Greece destiny is in her hand to decide because this union is rather that of imposition and Greece shouldn’t have been an EU member in the first place.  Luckily Berlin/Brussels will push her out and remove constrains on her ability to forge ahead compliant with her independence and sovereignty.  Her invaluable Christian heritage among others is a treasure to be deployed for overcoming testing times.

Contrary to a secular conclusion of atheistic West, faith in Christ posses serious weapons capable of blunting austerity infection. Evidence is emerging that austerity doctrine have two options; a climb-down by international capital or war. There is no middle ground and this absence is something that accentuates poverty of leadership in Europe.  So the weapon of prayer becomes the inevitable investment. Beyond the platitude of managed history and the contiguity of European space, one should freely inquire (deeper) reasons behind the escape of Portugal & Spain from satanic & genocidal conflagration that consumed the continent 1939 – 1945.

There was an example in Philippines under President Marcos whose administration can only be summarised as brutal and repressive.  When all efforts by the opposition failed, the Church mobilised the population for prayers in public space and in one of the sessions soldiers deployed to shoot at praying faithful couldn’t deliver their mandates. These sincere public outpourings of faith and supplication not only and successfully resisted the government tide but commenced gradual reversal of its power until was removed in 1986. 

Conclusion

Greek imposed economic crisis is not going to away based on the current obnoxious propagates by Athens and her creditors. International capital & global power elite are not in the business of extracting anything less than their pound of flesh as history reads favourable trend.  It will only take a supernatural divine from Jesus Christ to break the logjam with its positive chain reacting reverberating around the world. It will mean that on such basis the loss for international capital is assured.
