Earlier this morning as Alexis Tipras was again urging voters to reject more austerity in the referendum to be held this coming weekend, finance minister Varoufakis said he would cut off his right arm before accepting a "Yes" vote. Doesn't sound much like a cave in to us.
As we have reported several times recently, while the Syriza bosses have been playing mind games with the Eurorats of Brussels they have also been spending a lot of time cosying up to Moscow. And nothing would suit the Russians better than to prise Greece out of the EU.
There is a very simple way for Greece and Russia to win here and tell Washington along with Brussels to go to hell. First Greece quits the Euro and starts issuing Drachmas. Then Russia announces that it will peg the Drachma to the Rouble and make them convertable. Greece agrees to credit any fees from the south stream pipeline targeted to terminate in Greece back to any Rouble debt they incur.
Its a safe bet that the other PIIGS countries, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain countries would follow suit and both NATO and the EU will start to unwind.
Europe would be pushed into the Russian orbit and without the political cover of NATO the wars the USA is running in the middle east would have to end immediately. Check and mate for the fools in Washington who thought they could control the world. Greece and eventually Britain and Europe can at last be completely free of the Washington warmonger's malign influence for good.

Spain Goes Full Police State; Government Enacts Law Forbidding Dissent, 'Unauthorized' Photography Of Law Enforcement
Spain is now a police state again. On July 1st, its much-protested "gag" law went into effect, instantly making criminals of those protesting the new law. Not since the death of General Franco has free speech been a crime in the country. Among the many new repressive clauses in the new law is a €30,000-€600,000 fine for "unauthorized protests," which can be combined for maximum effect with a €600-€300,000 fine for "disrupting public events."

The first radical leftist government since the “mountain government” at the time of the German occupation is still very popular despite its struggles to resist EU presure for more austerity.Financial Coup in Greece
From day to day mainstream and alternative media commentators speculate about when Greece will finally admit is is bankrupt and will have to leave the European Single Currency system, abandon the Euro and return to the Drachman, and the Euronazis of brussels admite they were wrong to bend the rules in order to get Greece to adopt the Euro, and stop piling more agony on the long suffering Greek people and help organize a painless exit.
