A Greek TV station has shown a video proving that the police used undercover agents masquerading as anarchists to inflame violence outside the Greek parliament and discredit peaceful protestors amid warnings from German economists that the new IMF and EU-measures will destroy the Greek economy, potentially sparking a revolution.

The video shows undercover police men dressed in casual clothes and carrying iron bars slipping behind police lines and engaging in a discussion with police wearing  full riot gear before returning to their work of causing mayhem, setting fires, smashing windows — and so giving a pretext to police to use massive violence against peaceful protestors.

Photos on the Gmargari blog show police throwing rocks and missile into  crowds and also wielding iron bars in actions comparable to the secret service thugs who protected the ruthless Mubarak regime in Egypt.

The widespread use of teargas by police was also called dangerous by the head of the Greek Pharmacists Union.

The violence by police against protestors comes  as a top German economist is warning that the new austerity measures imposed on the country by the IMF, EU and ECB will lead to a collapse of the economy and possibly to a revolution.

Professor Gustav Horn told Bild newspaper that the next 12 billion euro tranche of IMF and EU, ECB funding – paid for by tax payers – will not be even enough to meet the interest payments due in July on the country’s 340 billion euro debt - forcing the country to borrow yet more money.

“The austerity package is above all not viable in the short term,” he said. “These measures will accelerate the collapse of the Greek economy.”

Horn said that he did not think that the sale of Greek assets would bring in as much money as expected given the speed they were being carried out. 

Horn said a revolution in Greece was possible in view of the lack of support for the austerity measures among the people.

“The Greek politics is about to undergo a fundamental change. Whether the existing parties will still exist in five years is doubtful in view of their failures,” he said.

The elite have often tried to engineer and hijack revolutions, pushing personalities rather than policies to divert attention from their activities.

To avoid this trap, the people of Greece – and Europe – need to unite around a programme with practical measures to restore prosperity and freedom and they need to check the concrete progress made in implementing them.

Measures urgently needed for Greece include the introduction of a national or regional currency to return liquidity to the economy; the nationalisation of banks; capital controls; a reasonably low exchange rate for the Drachma to encourage exports and tourism; a plan to build up a domestic manufacturing base  (machine tools) and to substitute as many exports as possible with domestic products; cut off funding to the EU and leave the EU.

Greece is the victim of a savage financial assault by the EU, IMF and ECB and the main weapon is the euro currency and interest payments on euro denominated debt.

The return to the Drachma is the best means of defence in this economic war being conducted against the people of Greece with the complicity of Greek politicians.

Greek academics are even to be subjected to a new form of censorship under new government plans, reports Ekathimerini.

According to an IMF report, Greece is set to transfer 131 billion euros to American, French and German banks in the form of interest payments on its national debt between 2009 and 2014.

Ekathimerini reports that Greek souvereign bondholders have enjoyed record profits while the Greek people sink into utter  poverty and suffer violent beatings from riot police when they protest.

Not just Greece  is being forced into an unprecedented transfer of its taxes and assets to banks. The entire eurozone is being sucked into the vortex of a debt death spiral due to high national debts as well as “bailouts” to countries like Greece, Portugal and Ireland which are already insolvent and being pushed into deeper debt by austerity measures.

In addition, the eurozone central bank has destroyed at least 440 billion euros of tax payer’s money by propping up insolvent Greek, Spanish and Irish banks with hundreds of billions of euros.

And now, it has emerged eurozone tax payers will have to fund the completion of Greek government assets before they are sold off to the private sector at knock down prices. Kathimerini reports that Greek Prime Minister Giorgos Papandreou asked for money from the EU to help finish the construction of airports, harbours and other government assets just as they are about to be sold to corporations for a pittance by a special agency run by EU and IMF officials.

That means eurozone tax payers will have to pay three times – via government bailouts for banks, via loans to insolvent banks by the ECB and in the form of subsidies for public sector projects that are about to be sold to private investors.

To avoid false flag conflicts and revolutions led by agents provocateurs, the people of Europe need to unite around a concrete programme that does not depend on personalities.

Measures to restore Europe to liberty and prosperity must include:

- changing Article 123 of the ECB statutes to allow the central bank to give money without interest to governments in the same way as the Chinese central bank does. Currently, the ECB gives money only to the eurozones 6,300 banks at benchmark low interest reates and these banks lend it to governments at high interest rates.

- introducing national or regional currencies to return southern European countries to competitiveness

- introducing and implementing insolvency mechanisms for overly indebted nations and banks

- cutting off funding to the EU. Without money from the tax payers of Europe and without its own capacity to levy taxes, the EU beast will wither.

- introducing direct democracy with regular referendum as in Switzerland

- rolling back emergency anti terrorism legislation which allows eurozone governments to grant its citizens fewer human rights than prisoners of war 

- focussing on sustainable economic growth with an emphasis on the research into the latest solar and other renewable energy technology.

The German solar industry currently pushes 30 year old solar panels costing billions in subsidies while investing negligible amounts in research into the new generation of solar technology, not surprising given the fact that the solar industry is controlled by the same people who control the nuclear energy, and they do not want competition. In addition, nuclear reactors serve a dual purpose as a potential weapon to black mail governments. The use of Haarp to destroy the Fukushima nuclear plant may have been one reason why Chancellor Angela Merkel rushed to close down nuclear reactors in Germany.

In the US, surging rivers and wildfires have recently threatened a number of nuclear power plants.

In the long term, Europeans and Americans should push for more advanced monetary systems of the type proposed by Vienna economics professor Franz Hörmann to encourage the development of human character, creativity and responsibility.
