Zero Hedge — Russia Urges "Independence" From "Imposed World Order" Of US Financial System

More on de-dollarization. It's a matter of preserving national sovereignty and independence in the face of American imperialism and the US attempt to colonize the world.

Defend Democracy — EU Starves Greece To Force Sell Off Of Public Assets

EU FINANCE ministers are threatening to withhold a €2.8 billion (£2.4bn) wad of bailout cash from Greece for not selling off public assets fast enough....

Conditions demanded by the EU include cutting public spending, deregulating the energy market, raising the price of medicines and putting key assets into a “privatisation fund” outside government control, which would be responsible for selling them.

The fund is due to contain an estimated 70,000 real estate properties, urban transport companies and the water supply, among other assets.

Colonizing Greece. The European periphery is next in line.
