Alexis Tsipras Most Outrageous Outburst Yet?
Speaking in May 2014 (ahead of Ukraine's elections) new Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras made very clear why he is now against Germany's push for further sanctions against Russia.
[The SYRIZA] party believes that the new government in Ukraine came to power as a result of a coup, and call it a junta.
h/t @Erula1
"We should not accept or recognize the government of neo-Nazis in Ukraine," the Athens News Agency quotes Tsipras who believes that the Ukrainian people should decide their future themselves.
Speaking about different peoples' movements for self-determination, Tsipras said that the European left respected the right to self-determination, but nationalism and clashes could not lead to positive results.
"We in the EU should not give preference to changing borders, but must respect the position of the peoples, who have decided to create a Federation within the state," said the SYRIZA leader.
Tsipras added,
the EU must change in order to survive; the EU lacks democracy, and citizens do not believe that their vote can change policy.

I'm pretty sure he's already a ZH reader...
Doubtful. Anyone that can comprehend the subjects talked about on this site would not think giving away free shit was a good idea.
imo, just another politician sent by the ptb to create division and conflict among the masses so we don't notice the theft of our productivity or the assault on our souls.
Nobody would accept war unless they were convinced that guy over there was evil and needed a killin' either.
You're overthinking it... I just was talking about how he doesn't wear neckties...
Oh, I'm with you on that then. Fuck neck ties.
I guess he wants to piss Europe off and go Iceland. See the other article by Bruno de Landevoisin. That is going to be a hard road and I don't think they are up to it. Has he thought about selling his soul to the Chinese?
He might sell farm produce to Russia. Invite Russian ships to dock at Piraeus. That would be a hoot.
Greece is a naval 'power'. Not their navy per se, but merchant navy...
Nuland-Nazis EVERYWHERE....
What he meant was Zionist Neo Nazi Regime of Kiev, but that would have caused a hot tub accident tonight.
Yes, truth is "outrageous," or from what I've seen in the MSM, just outright "radical."
As someone stated here recently - the Germans lost WW2, but Nazis won... as strange as it may seem, there's really some truth to this statement...
Did not Shakespeare write
"The evil men do lives after them,
the good is oft interred with their bones"?
ATTRIBUTED to Shakespeare, who was merely used as a front for playwrights of that politically dangerous era, he could scarcely write his own name.
Francis Bacon, AFAIK, wrote or co-authored the better part of 'Shakespeare's works.
That's just a rumour.
England needed its Great Writer and a writers collective took care of that.
oxford, elizabeth and marlowe are also candidates...but NOT shakspeare
Someone strong, very strong is behind this man. Putin?
Something stronger than Putin. Think big. Think or imagine for just a second that the PEOPLE are behind him. Novel, right??
We need to crowdfund one of those bulletproof boxes the Pope used to roll around in....
The list of candidates is rapidly increasing.
The good news is: there is safety in numbers.
Tsipras must know that his actions and remarks are at odds with most Western leaders, and yet he engages in this behavior anyway. It's almost as if he has no fear of the potential consequences.
But then again, he does have a well-known admiration for Ernesto "Che" Guevara, so perhaps he fancies himself a revolutionary.
I like this Tsipras guy, and wish him well.
Grexit: Soon on this site....
Well they are neo-nazis.
that escalated quickly
I am moving to Greece. This guy is being HONEST.
A worldwide crowd-funding plan for freeing Greeks from the troika-USSA would probably raise million$.
Maybe. There are so many stupid people out there.
This is yesterday thinking, millions don't work these days. You need trillions to make headlines.
When votes can no longer change policy, violence will.
Birds of a feather flock together, here at ZH. Welcome Alexis.

Ha!
This came across the bow on a mountain one day. Held it for such a invite to the crew.:
From one Pecker to another wood...
There are no leaders here...
Only Birds of a Feather.
Dead man walking.

Except the government isn't "neo-nazi", it's ethno-oligarchs, who rotate between crony capitalism and bolshevism, which ever fits the situation.
Except for the SS insignias on the brigade vehicles and individual soldiers arm bands, Bolshevicks all.
So Mr. Hasbarat, wearing an arm band makes you a Nazi? Kind of like these Jewish "Nazis", Frank Collin and Daniel Burros, who were leaders of the "Nazi Party" in the US.

The US-backed overthrow of an elected government in Urkaine has become a cause for the US Empire’s co-conspirators, the Zionists. The quickly established illegal Kiev government has developed as an outpost of Zionism with all key leaders Jewish and gaining support from Israel as a second homeland for the Jews. The notion that there is some relationship to the National Socialists of WWII is only Nulandesque propaganda. Ukraine is now ruled by a Zionist banker government.
“Why does Lloyd Blankfein walk free to this hour? Because he is wearing the fiscal equivalent of a dynamite vest. It turns out the U.S. does negotiate with terrorists. …
“To inquire whether Jewish financiers have brought evil into the world is neither historically nor culturally absurd, though it may be so politically….
“In principle, it cannot be said to be an insult to ask what seems obvious to many, whether their involvement led to ruin. We cannot answer this question for reasons within our own political philosophy, which means they are left free to wreak havoc with ever more sophisticated means whenever they can manage it. Those in question do not see anything wrong with this. When financiers create a desert and call it business it is time to examine their philosophy. If all positions are of equal intellectual merit, then cannibalism is only a matter of taste. A banker who claims exemption from natural law because he sees no need to be a good Christian puts himself on an intellectual level with Boko Haram. …
“Former Attorney-General Eric Holder’s suicide pact with the banks extends executive privilege, in this case immunity from prosecution, to financial institutions. Too Big to Fail? Magis derisione quam responsione dignum est …

Given the difficulties TPTB have had in getting WWIII started, I'd say he'll be allowed to live for a while longer, as he will be used as a casus belli whipping-boy.
Every hero needs a villian.
Go long on nail guns.
The ZH crowd is fundamentally confused. On the one hand they hate Jews with every thread of their being, then on the next they don't want to support the fantasy "neo-Nazis" in Ukraine. Pick one for Chrissakes.
Where do you get the bullshit that people on this site hate Jews? There is admittedly a lot of hatred for Zionists, but not every person of Jewish descent is a Zionist. And, not every Zionist, obviously, is a Jew. Like in most cases, the leaders pushing their agendas give otherwise awesome peoples a bad name.
Nothing to gain from wasting your time with incoherent trolls. (I keep repeating to myself)
good point.
Dexter, you know you will be labelled a self-hating Jew now, right?
"Zionist" now that's cute. So why not lay it out for us who yor supposed "Zionists" are?
Bangalore
well, there's Joe Biden for one

Well, basically the Illuminati/ZioNazi-Anglosphere/Rothschild/Windsor/Central Bankster/Fortune 500/Wall Street/City of London/EU/NATO/Mossad-CIA-MI-6-”Piscine”-BND Alphabet Soup Agency Fascists.
Has less to do with being Jewish really than being a fascist, but Israel plays a prominint role in the destabilization of the middle east, and there are many people of Jewish descent in prominent positions of the above fascist agencies.
Dexter Morgan, you said it briefly and succinctly. Please pardon this long elaboration on what you just said, but I thought this description from Saker very clear, from an essay well worth reading in full:
BEGIN EXCERPT <<Guys, I am constantly getting a flow of comments about "Jews this Jews that", "Nazis this, Nazis that", and the "killer argument" "Jews cannot be Nazis and Nazis cannot be Jews". Guys, think again. Look at all Zionists and Nazis have in common:
1) the belief in the existence of races/ethnicities
2) the belief in the superiority of their own race/ethnicity
3) the morbid obsession with blood and racial purity
4) a phenomenal propensity to use violence to achieve their goals
5) the belief that their opponents are not really human
6) a morbid interest for the occult (Ahnenerbe, Kabbalism)
7) a rabid hatred for Russia, Russians and Orthodoxy
Now, of course, they also happened to hate each other. So what? Trotskists hated Stalinists and vice versa, the SS hated the SA and vice versa and the Jesuits hated the Lutherans and vice versa. But in each case these movement spring from the same well (Bolshevism, National-Socialism and Frankish Papism).
Zionism and Nazism are born from the same fetid womb: 19th European secular nationalism and, as Brecht so well put it: the belly is still fertile from which the foul beast sprang. This is also the root of Ukrainian nationalism, Russian pan-Slavism, and many other ideologies. Most of them have lost traction and have been repudiated, but in Israel Zionism is still the main official state ideology and the same is true for the part of the ex-Ukraine run by the Nazi junta in Kiev.
Now, sincere there are apparently quite a few of you who still hold on to racist/racialist ideas, I feel the need to repeat here what I wrote in my post AngloZionist: Short primer for the newcomers:
This is why the listing of Jews in power in Kiev because what is missing from the picture is either a list of all Jews who are not in power in Kiev or the list of all non-Jews who are in power in Kiev, or both.
Zionism is to Jews what National-Socialism is to Germans and what Communism is to Russians: a pathology triggered by a slight, but crucial, modification of these nation's "spiritual DNA". This is like comparing healthy tissue to a malignant tumor: very similar but different enough to be fatal.
The real enemy:
The real enemy is not the Jew, the German or the Russian, of course. The real enemy are evil, satanic ideologies. As Saint Paul so eloquently put it: For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Eph. 6:12). He did not say the "1%ers" of course, but if you ask me, this is close enough.>> END EXCERPT
This is why we don't have to mistake all Jews for Zionists, or start thinking our cabbie is plotting against us because his name is Levine and he wears a yarmulke. If you are interested, the full essay is here:
http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.ca/2015/01/ukraine-sitrep-january-27th-zio...
The main complaint that many Americans and peoples worldwide have against the Zionists is that they have taken over control of the US government, from the Congress to the courts to the White House, and use their media for support.
Now those who point out that all Jews are not Zionists need to get their priorities straight: the takeover of the U.S. government is a support for another nation’s foreign policy. And that nation, Israel, is a Jewish nation controlled by a Zionist government. Netanyahu is so Zionist that his new legislative proposal would seal Israel’s Jews as preferred citizens.
This so-called outpost of democracy, armed with nuclear weapons, is not a democracy and because of its control of US foreign policy, Israel’s enemies, and there are many, have become America’s enemies. The result: millions of innocent Middle Eastern people dead, and a banker war stretching all the way to Ukraine.
The July 2014 polls below, taken after the airwaves were filled with images of death and destruction in the Gaza Strip, were not limited to Zionists; they polled Jews:
“A poll this week for Israel’s Channel 10 news, conducted by the Sarid Institute, found that 87 percent of Jewish Israelis support continuing the Gaza operation. A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute found that 95 percent of Israeli Jews think the operation in Gaza is just, and 4 of 5 oppose a unilateral withdrawal. Just 4 percent said the Israeli military has used excessive force.”

"There never was a tyranny in the world, there never has been a despotism in history, which would not tell you that it was accidental, or necessary, or, in any case, innocent of any motive of oppression. And history universally replies: 'To judge that, you must ask those who felt the pressure, not those who exercised it.'" --Blaise Thompson
Your comments are fundamentally lame. You are trying to tie two opinions together as if they are relateable. Stand tall with your support of the newly imposed Ukraine government....or read and learn.
Just go along, get along stackers. Patiently waiting.
Truth is not subject to opinion.
All ZHs do not hate Jews or Moslems. Fantasy of Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? You've taken the Blue pill. Right?
ZHers are egalitarian,
They hate everyone
I love humanity, it is people that I don't like!
Even themselves! But then they're only human. Or are they?

Good news. Pastor Hagee and Vicky Nuland says you can have both!...
Keep an eye out for those "4 Red Moon(s)" brotha!
Pointing out the way uber-Jews have us by the balls does not a hater make. And listen, this "hate" meme is getting played out. Isn't it time for another catchy single-digit defamatory term for those who stray off the reservation?
"And listen, this "hate" meme is getting played out. Isn't it time for another catchy single-digit defamatory term for those who stray off the reservation?"
True meaningful words are food for the heart. Thank you.
Yes good One, that one word to replace the word hate is, DISLIKE.
As explained prior, tis better to create a non-binding energy, rather than a karmic one to kick you back. It is truly better to really dislike something, rather than to hate it. As you state so well, the meme of using the word hate is old and stupid.. No one wants to play that game any moar.
they can't
they are metrosexuals
Wow....get the popcorn ready and grab a comfortable chair - this is going to be awesome to watch play out
Just wondering given that he's the only politician on the planet right now 'with a pair" for justice,,,
Could someone get Prime Minister Tsipras to sign AE911Truth's petition for an investigation and make a very public announcement to his constituents and the World that it's unfinished business in locating the criminals who did it once and for all and that it's only a hunch at this point that the same ones that did the austerity on Greece and the overthrow of Ukraine are linked to 2001???!!!!
Yes, I agree we have been incredibly patient, so far, regarding this matter. No longer.
Yes, I agree we have been incredibly patient, so far, regarding this matter. No longer.
Only because we have nobody in the seat(s) of power in Washington D.C. other than Senator Paul Wellstone like J.F.K who challenged the wisdon of the those in charge and paid for it with his life that has set the example for every politician since not to fuck with the "Wizard" while in Oz!
I actually believe Tsipras would probably be assasinated for raising the subject of a 9/11 investigation before he ever would over what he just said over the Ukraine -but I could be wrong!
It's a lot more than a hunch. Anyone who has gone beyond the Official Whitewash knows the identity of the perps. For anyone interested this might help.
For anyone interested this might help.
Oh yes MB
Everybody knows the "rabbi"... Just ask the messenger that announced the loss oF $1.3 trillion to members of Congress on 9/10/2001 how effective he "is"!

Will Tsipras's actions match his words? Watch this space.
No
Well, I've heard of "Anne of a thousand days", but this guy may have trouble making 100 hours at this rate.
Paine and Pierce and Robespierre, Juarez and Danton,

Lenin, Cleaver, Jesus too, outlaws in their nations,
Revolutionaries all, dreamed of liberation
God is up in heaven his agents here on earth
The church has said that this man rules, he's best because of birth.
But what's that noise down in the street, who dares to shout and sing?
With all his courtiers at his side, who dares to touch the king?
Old man get some soldiers, keep them close at hand
There's a fire in the country, there's a flame come to the land
Seven thousand loyal troops, in ranks they stretch so far
With seven thousand well armed men, no one can touch the czar.
Louis watch the prisons, send the goons around
Is that Paris burning, is the Bastille falling down?
And where are all the mercenaries - paid for by the king?
Have they joined the mob you say, doesn't money mean anything?
Old men get some soldiers, keep them close at hand,
The seeds that were sown yesterday now flower in the land
And guard yourself most carefully with military might.
For plants that cannot bloom by day must flower in the night.
You forgot to mention your hero Mao, who killed as many Chinese in peacetimes as people died in WW2.

Don't travel by air anytime soon, Tsipras.
And stay away from nailguns, rope, knives, black cats...
Hope his past is clean, No bill cosby, tiger woods, bill/hillary clinton or ted bundy stuff to come back and bite him.
According to the Provocateur's Handbook, tonight's MSM headlines will claim that Syriza is full of Nazis (just like they did in Ukraine with those idiotic pamphlets labeling the separatists, right after the story broke about the Nazis running Kiev).
It's simple: if you don't like them, label them "Nazis". It worked for emporer Putin, so why not Commie Tspiras?
Wow, you're the first troll I've ever seen use a colon! They must pay you well.
You are correct; he uses his colon well. That's where all the fecal matter he posts comes from!
he's got his head up his colon.
All of the important positions in the current Kiev regime are held by Jews, so they couldn't be Nazis, could they?
I say it again. The 'Nazis' in Kiev were just useful cannon fodder for kicking off the civil war. The owners/ciontrollers of Ukraine are the Nulandites.
Chosenites!
Zero Hedge today is awash with Zionist bloggers. The West’s attack through Ukraine to target Russia (CIA/NATO, etc.) is a Cold War started by the US, as Gorbachev said yesterday, and has the chance for a “hot war.” And all the Zionists and the Banker Media can think of is “Nazi.”
Why would they do this, bring up events of 70 years ago to a world generation that wasn’t even born? It is to deflect their crimes. And unlike the events of WWII, these crimes are 2015.
the "Nazi" label is the gift that keeps on giving
a horse that's been beaten dead so many times but it just refuses to go out to pasture
It refuses to die and if it did die they would dig it up.
LOL...."Hip hip hurrah for the Communist in Grease." So I wonder if he plans on sharing any photos of all of the Nazi demonstrations in Kiev? Of course he will! He'll provide a sampling of some fringe group of 8 protestors so we can all conclude that ALL Ukies in Kiev are neo-Nazis.
what country uses the CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, TSA, FISA courts etc etc. to monitor their citizens? Sounds a bit communist to me.
The US of A is toast for many other reasons than this list of alphabet soup. The assertation that 1) Ukrainians cannot think for themselves therefore 2) the US must install a puppet neo-Nazi regime complements of the CIA is nothing but one big ConTSPIRASy theory.
Spend some time contracting in the government sector, you'll realize that the US alphabet soup idiot patrol can't tie their shoes let alone set up a coup in another country.
Of course they can. The CIA is expert at it. Where they fail is managing afterwards what they have sewn.
So perhaps they've successfully sewn a few Nazi armbands on some folks, but I doubt they have the wherewithall to sow the seeds of revolution. The Ukies can manage that all by their lonesome.
When you go full-retard, saner minds will point it out to you. In the hope you'll self-medicate yourself into a coma.

The further a society drifts from truth the more it hates those who speak it.
Tsipras seems to be honest and brave. Other EU leaders should learn from him.
This guy has nuts the size of the titanic.
Why do you say that? Mouthing off about Ukraine while vouching for continued Russian sanctions makes him hung like a hamster by my viewpoint
They can smell a Nazi from a mile (kilometer?) away in that part of the world.
From Greece to the Balkans, they know the odor all too well.
Germany voted Hitler because he offered "hope" and "change" and his platform was all about the debt from war reparations...
Greece voted Tsirpas because he is offering "hope" and "change" and his platform is all about the debt repayments...
I will let history decide
Think US got the HOPE AND CHANGE SPEECH along with a huge violation in freedom of all types with our guy. YES WE DID.
Let me think: The US voted Obama because he offered 'hope' and 'change' and his platform was all about the costs, and the wars the US already were into.
So, you're telling us that only a coup d'etat, done by decesive men (and women) can lead to real change for every man (and woman)?
Define real change. When a coup d'etat occurs it is usually one elite fighting another elite. Are you part of an elite group? I know I'm not which means I can either be a peasant to this group or the other group but I'm a peasant regardless.
The degree of entertainment of this article as well as commentary is quite high.
Thank you for the humor.
I often say that to your commentary....

I know it's not very nice to say this, but

This guy ROCKS!!!!
Je Suis Greek!!!!
I want him as President of the EU rather than that tax-avoiding Shmuck from Luxembourg (Country that is a tax avoiding scheme)
so.. ya.. of course its only rhetoric so far.. but.. Im having a bit of a bromance crush going on here!
Certainly the party agrees with Tsarov of the Ukrainian Rada in a video taken of one of his speeches before the Rada in November 2013 - Before Maidan took place:
MUST WATCH: This was the year before MAIDAN – ENG SUBS - YouTube
Tsarov knew the real story behind the coup and what was going down in the near future and most importantly, who was responsible.
Cue a Fascist/Nazi coup in Greece.
That doesn't look that likely since the announcement of a coalition with right-wings 'independents'
Since Golden Dawn is moving up the queue - it will only take some discontent by the end of the summer for a 'poplular uprising' ala what happened in Ukraine before GD gets the reins....
It's been four days. What are the Syriza leaders waiting for anyhow? Let's get this show on the road, start with dropping the Euro and pulling out of the EU!
And next cancel some of those hideous unserviceable debts your predecessors droppped on the Greek people.
Tspiras has no intentions of shifting away from the status quo. Why do that when you can spout "neo-Nazis in Kiev" and talk about some random ConTSPIRASy theory. It's called bread and circuses.
Vouching for continued sanctions against Russia while bloviating aboutUkraine makes Tsirpas Adolph Merkel's cock socket
I call bullshit. The GrecObama. Talk the talk doesnt walk the walk

Alexis Tsipras: Ukraine Govt is Neo (Ashke)Nazi
Vicious Vicky Nudelman: Are you SYRIAZ?
LOL, bravo sir.
Too bad Greece just finished its EU presidency turn.
It would have been one hell of a show w/Tsipras at the wheel!!
I am not sure what his stance is on Turkey, but if history serves as a guide, there is no love loss between them. With Putin whispering in his ear, lobbing some turds at the turks, a few more at EU and Germany in particular, maybe even at oBAMA - and/or the US in general - and WW3 would be ready to begin.
Eu was a good idea from a common currency stand-point, otherwise, a 2500+ year recipe for disaster!
Its a mad mad mad world - and getting nuttier by the hour.
This communist sounds like a ZHer!
Me thinks that particular irony is lost on this crowd.
Good thing they don't pay us for popular opinions.
Communism is is OK - Capitaism is OK . It's the power crazed assholes who always rise to the top. They pervert any system.
This is tricky. There is a Greek minority in Ukraine. They could become the victim of revenge attacks. Some countries already have taken their minorities out of Ukraine. Ukraine is potentially Yugoslavia 2.0 on steroids.
It always was.
If Putin had a son.......
Is this guy genuine? Did he just Butt-Slam the Neo-NAZI's? I like this guy. In 2 years can he run for US President? A Kenyan did. Why not this guy???
I'll hand it to him so far. He's got balls! Russia probably told him I've got your back both financially and economically.
NATO is kinda up the creek. The turks being the ever "loyal" allay they've been, they've turned us down in times of need, I doubt Greece would be a willing partner at this point, leaving us with just Romania as the most eastern base in Europe, and from what I know, Romania is not overly happy with our presence, although, being as corrupt as they are, a duffel bag filled w/euros and the deal is as good as approved!
OK .... we might need the 2nd bag. They learned from the drug lords in Afghanistan ..... cash goes a long way. Its only paper anyway.
Greeks and Turks, living together, who would have thought that given this bit of history...
>Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in World War I, Greek attempts to annex parts of Turkish Anatolia resulted in war between the two countries, massacres on both sides and the violent expulsion of Greek Orthodox Christians from Turkey. After the victory of the Turkish nationalists, led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the European powers and Balkan governments met to negotiate a new regional order. The result was the Lausanne Agreement of 1923, which regularized the expulsions of Greek Christians from Turkey and authorized reciprocal expulsions of a smaller number of Muslims from Greece to make room for the refugees.
Now I realize the Turks truly admire Ataturk, but my ancestors were Greek Christians caught up in that expulsion. Apparently great-grandad had enough of the Turkish-Greek bullshit and emigrated to the United States.
My wife's ancestors were similarly caught up and expelled (muslims labelled as turks from northern Greece).
HIstory is a bitch, that's for sure. Ethnic hatred is tragic. In the end, however, you can see that all of the former regions of the Ottoman empire still eat shit to this day. Maybe if they take a sober look at their recent travails in the larger lens of this historical perspective, then they'll understand that they are being equally shat on. This Tsipris dude seems to get it....
Its like them euros hate them brown people for some reason.....I think its because of the good weather....
I don't think so. We have come so low, it is impossible to believe a public figure is sincere, truthful and alive at the same time.
Speaking truth about Ukraine and attempting to get Greece out from under the yoke of endless borrowing to repay bankers?
I am afraid this guy may own a nailgun in his garage and be the lucky winner of a complimentary Hot Tub to be installed...will not be long before they blackmail this fella or start running a MSM campaign equating him to Kim-Jong
If this lad is a fraud, he's one hell of an actor....
He may be a lefty....but as the saying goes.....the enemy of my enemy....
If he keeps this up....I'll happily buy him a few pints of Guinness when he visits Dublin...which I'm sure he will....his comrades in Sinn Fein will be dying to bask in his limelight.....
To read sentences in plain English without all the spin from the White House or the porn queens at the State Department seems........strange. George Orwell would be astonished.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Orwell
Got to agree, Why call it an OUTRAGEOUS outburst??????
