Yanis Varoufakis Reveals \u2013 Berlin Blocked Greece From Chinese Funding During Crisis<\/a><\/h3>\n

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the Western world are being forced to admit an obvious, yet uncomfortable reality.\u00a0Democracy is dead.\u00a0Your vote and your voice doesn\u2019t matter. Not at all.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

No group of people understand this as intimately as the Greeks. They voted for one thing, got something else, and in the process were unceremoniously reminded of their political irrelevance.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 From the post:\u00a0Greeks Flock to Grassroots Alternative Currencies in Affront to Euro Debt Slavery<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Just in case you still had any doubts as relates to\u00a0how slimy, nefarious and undemocratic the EU is, check out the following from\u00a0Ekathimerini<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Yanis Varoufakis was instructed last year by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to put together a small team of people to draw up a plan for introducing a parallel currency if Greece was unable to reach an agreement with its lenders on a new bailout, the ex-finance minister said in a TV interview late Tuesday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking on Skai TV\u2019s \u201cIstories\u201d (Stories) program, Varoufakis outlined what was known as Plan X. He said that a small team of about six people examined the various parameters surrounding a potential standoff that would lead to Greece being unable to meet its obligations. Among the issues examined by Varoufakis and his advisers were how the country would continue to have access to medicines, fuel and food under such circumstances.<\/em><\/p>\n

Varoufakis said that he advised Tsipras to put the plan, which would see Greece defaulting on 27 billion euros in Greek government bonds held by the European Central Bank, into action as soon as he called a referendum at the end of June.<\/em><\/p>\n

Varoufakis added that he was against efforts to secure funding from Russia but that there had been an agreement with China regarding investment in Greece, including in Greek bonds.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
