It is by now well known that the news bulletin in the mass media was been supplanted by Nazi-type propaganda commentaries and any actual reporting of popular opinion is characterized by harsh censorship, curtailment of expression and manipulation. However, precisely because this is all this is (i.e, what we hear is only and nothing but propaganda) and the real conditions and attitudes of the people has to be faced by those who finance this propaganda, an experienced scientist with an eye to see behind the scene and control the emotional reaction triggered when someone listens to or watches the news via the mass media, can easily see reality. This is exactly what we are going to relay to you, on the basis of the last news bulletins and the announced actions via those bulletins, to encourage you and help you form an objective view on what is going on.
To start with, we now face a threat by prime-minister Papandreou that Greece will be made a ward of EU, and indeed be set under guardianship of countries already infamous for their colonial, invasive, and imperialistic history, and which many times have proven to stand against Greece, or at best to have kept a dubious double-face act on its people. In fact this fact has been projected by the mass media as a viable solution because G. Papandreou himself has stated that it was the best solution he could come up with or he could handle best. This is an indirect but clear threat to the People that unless they condone the actual dissolution of the Constitution and forsake every Human Right of the Greek Citizen by tolerating the measures announced by G.Papandreou and his government, he will set up a dictatorship and occupation of Greece. (An immediate setting of the state under probation / in reality he means that whoever is set up as a guardian/probation officer will wield super-powers and enjoy supreme capabilities to enforce his will on a sovereign state that would not have been able to be reduced to a state of probation without such a ward).
But viewing this through the scientific eye, what appears to be the reality, and what the People should understand and use is that there are indirect but clear indications that G.Papandereou has officially announced that he is unable to handle the crisis and similarly unable to convince the Greek People, but instead attempts to manipulate People into accepting the greatest injustice inflicted on them since the betrayal committed by the allies at the end of the 1940s and of all those who had promised Greece that she would have to gain from her heroic, and disproportionate commitment and participation in WWII: to utterly dismember the People and reduce them to poverty for the sake of the already super-rich hegemonic class robbers that harass the world.
Yet, the kind of a leader who declares himself incapable of serving his People as he himself has pledged and as the People demand in general, resigns and offers the People a chance to replace him. He under no circumstances cedes, without any referendum or democratic procedure that secures an immediate and reliable popular mandate, the wielding of power to foreigners, and in fact to those foreigners who had ravaged the land some decades ago, betrayed it and forced it into a path of continuous damage.
In other words, G.Papandreou has officially and publicly declared that he has forfeited the role of the prime-minister just as K.Karamanlis did before him.
That is the reason why A.Samaras is pulling his sleeves up in trying to convince the People that he is the ‘reliable alternative’ in the near elections which are not far away, so that it will not appear that the People was actually the one to topple the government. Of course, the people remember that it was A.Samaras under whose directive the Albanian borders were opened, and the first, and most sweeping immigration wave, which nowadays will also acquire national official recognition, and will adulterate the electoral body, if of course the People does nothing to stop it. (The migration issue and its law plan will be analyzed in a future article, but for the present article, let us only focus on the control of power A.Samaras achieved in his hegemonic class and which his colleague G.Papandreou is trying to help him secure)
Polls have again been brought to the fore to convince the People that they themselves, very curiously and suicidally, condone and prescribe to the announced measures which will cost them almost of the sum total of their income and for no effect. It is precisely the same absurd poll that showed under the K. Karamanlis government on the one hand, the total and utter rejection of the government by the People, but on the other, the People curiously voting for K.Karamanlis as the most capable prime-minister a few days prior to elections.
Taking into consideration the fact that in the executive managing offices of the poll companies and their clubs, there are many offspring of government-related families, and taking into consideration the blatant twisting of reality, as well as the strategically important moments all these polls make their appearance (during critical points that the People are called to pick persons and politics, in other words, at points in time that the hegemonic class totally depends on Popular Will and/or Popular Resistance leading to the rejection of this hegemonic class), what can we as objective researchers and followers of the scientific method deduce?
That there is a very intense, generalized and widely Popular reaction and rejection of G.Papandreou and of his PASOK government, and of the sum of the measures that have been announced, as well as the unrelenting decision of the People not to adopt them. That is the main reason why everyone focuses on ‘the extent to which the measures will apply’ and all holding a position of some authority who dare to offer advice to the People, have been mustered to convince the People or scare them or terrorize them or manipulate them (making use of the Greek pride ‘filotimo’ and sense of duty in the most twisted and perverted way, to try to support and enforce their own criminal offences and unethical deeds).
But because voices have started to be heard and to correctly focus on the real criminals who have condemned so many thousands of families to misery and hopelessness, the experienced eye in the communicative tricks will immediately see that the exponents of the hegemonic class have already started to be scared and to attempt to distract People’s attention from the reality of the class antagonism and polarization that exists, not only on Greek ground, but also outside our borders, as we will in brief analyze below.
The various exponents and representatives of the hegemonic class have started to appear in sports apparel without ties, dressed up in middleclass, or rather, farmer’s class clothes (to confirm this we only have to see the Canadian finance minister’s thick jacquard pullover, or in general the cardigan-shirt of all G7 representatives, their use of short everyday winter jackets rather than long black overcoats, especially when they were about to be videoed or photographed during session in which the issue of Greece was discussed and in general of European South, in their attempt to appeal to those intensely incensed Peoples). Obama, who also has to face an enraged American People follows the same tricks).
In addition, for the first time (even if briefly) we have confirmation of what we in this website have been saying over and over again: that the problem of Greece, as concerns the economy is that the rich (that is, the super rich of the hegemonic class of the type of Benakis, Rallis, Tsatsos, Aggelopoulos, Papathanasiou, Averof, Latsis, Vardinogiannis, Kyriakou, Kokkalis, Bobolas, Kartalis, Syngros, etc) ship billions out of the country, systematically draining it instead of leaving the cash in the Greek market. And it is mathematically certain that these billions consist of illegally owned State funds (i.e., taxes and dues) because all these people, either by means of laws passed by their relatives in Parliament or via their own direct partaking in NGOs and in the directorates of all sorts of athletic, folk and cultural organizations and related movements and events/festivity-organizing ‘units’ that are state-funded, tax-exempted and basically paid for in full simply because the people manning all those exist. They are also in receipt of State property and National funds which are literally granted to them (as in the case of Vatopedion, but also even more blatant).
In other words, they confessed via the mass media at last that the problem of the economy in Greece (but everywhere else) lie with the actions of the word hegemonic class.
And this brings us to the World Polarization which is getting clear even in the eyes of laymen, not only of scientists.
World Polarization is the aggregate phenomenon of social antagonism at the mass-level that was built up and was undermined and lapsed in latent modes and recession at times because of misguidance (especially after WWII), between the classes that coerce and the classes that are coerced on an international scale globally, regardless of the different terminology used occasionally. In fact there have always been only two social classes which are in antagonism. Every other categorization or stratification is included in those two huge and inter-national social classes: the hegemonic class and the Popular class.
The hegemonic class is just as stratified as the Popular class and we have purposefully avoided naming them ‘economic’ classes because in fact they are not defined only by their economic situation but their definition depends on their relation to power and work: whoever aims at exerting control over others and induce them to produce theirs as well as his amount of work, and who however enjoys all the privileges shedding any responsibility or consequence of it, is a member of the hegemonic class, regardless of his financial status. That is why members of the top echelons of the hegemonic class have the ability to perpetuate their reign because the lower strata within this hegemonic class who live near or next to members of the Popular class, make certain that the will of the hegemonic class is enforced and maintained at the base.
So, for example, the average salaried employee of the a multinational or of a state company, who plays a role in the big capital schemes and protects the large-scale capitalists to whom all the profits flow, for literally a plate of lentil soup, just so that this employee be allowed to exist around the big boss who exploits him and despises him, he also becomes a member of the hegemonic class, especially of its lower echelons. By contrast, an average middle class salaried employee who seeks the application of the Law and of the Human Rights and in general does not make it easy or facilitates in anyway the solidification of the higher strata of the hegemonic class at the expense of his/her co-Citizens is a member of the Popular class that does not have the same stratification with the hegemonic class.
The Popular class does not include the pyramidal stratification of the hegemonic class but relies on a cooperative model and composition in which everyone is considered part of the power of the Popular class and are recognized as such. Because it is the Popular class that actually produces and promotes progress, its logic is much more pragmatic and much less restrictive/meritocratic/ less ascriptive. The opposite, although absurd, exists as a criterion in the hegemonic class, simply because in the Popular class everyone who can contribute to work and progress is promoted so that he/she will be able to do it. Evidence of this reality in the Popular class, we can see historically and in detail in every formation, expression and organizing scheme that sprang from the Popular class. Also we can see in comparison how this was perverted and adulterated when the hegemonic class infiltrated the Popular class, mainly through its members in the low strata.
We will analyze in depth the nature of those two classes and their historic development and how, on the basis of differentiation of class identities, even members of the same family can belong to one or the other, regardless of their level of family relation or their sharing similar economic or financial conditions. For now, however, this definition will suffice so that we can show you that World Polarization has occurred on the basis of these two widely encompassing social classes, the hegemonic and the Popular social classes.
Despite the almost complete censorship, reference to specific events can be indicative of the extent of the war-like atmosphere that exists within the ranks of the People who are hit (Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, England, USA, Canada, Germany) countries where there are clear indications of discontent and lack of conformity to the demands of the hegemonic class (and we do not know what is happening in S. America, Australia and Asia or in Africa generally) to the point that the hegemonic class either falls back and retreats or tries to enforce, via communicative tricks and games (such as those described above, but also specially induced petrol crises, terrorist attacks, funds misappropriation scandals, propaganda and systematic funding of global migratory flows, etc) its will using the very principles prescribed by the Popular class, that is, The Bill of Human Rights and Democracy.
What does this mean?
It means that in fact, the hegemonic class has been forced to concede to and confess to the fact that it is responsible for the evils of the Popular class, starting from the National problems, the low fertility, etc because it is this hegemonic class that has suspended every chance of economic recovery, has bankrupted all nation-states and demands now the complete and utter submission of the Popular class. It is this that has been confessed, namely that the super-rich tycoons are responsible for the problem of Greece (and by default, all the other tycoons and zillionaires are responsible for the problems of the rest of the world, that also admittedly resemble Greece) but also between the lines and by hints and allegations that the economic crisis harassing Europe is connected to the euro zone.
Therefore, what we must strive to achieve, we who belong to the Popular class and seek to uphold the Freedom of the individual across all levels and the protection of the Human Rights on the basis of the principles of equality and proportionality, is to keep ourselves opposed and resistant and irreconcilable to the criminals of the hegemonic class and demand that all of them be brought to Justice that will really do justice and make all of them return with interest whatever material good they have embezzled, and pay for damages caused to people.
This can only be achieved by a Court set up by the Popular class, when that class comes to realize that it is they who control the hegemonic class (if the Popular class stops reproducing the hegemonic class, the hegemonic class will become powerless within hours: if money stops flowing, if transport is blockaded as is happening with the farmers these days, if the employees in the public sector go down on white strikes or declare their disagreement to follow whatever unconstitutional regulation, if the courts refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws, as the Constitution affords the legal ground to them to do so, if the hegemonic class is shut out of the system, while the Popular class continues to exchange goods in the market but not on the funds which for now are controlled by the hegemonic class, the hegemonic class will not be able to move at all, like a ship without engines and crew in the middle of the sea) if they stop listening to the mass media propaganda of the hegemonic class and focus on the Popular targets that are the only correct ones: Equality, securing of all basic needs of the Person, decent living and Freedom.
