Why the sudden turnaround in Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras beliefs? 

For just a split second, viewers saw a black cable strapped to the Greek PM’s neck during his interview on national broadcaster ERT on Monday. During the interview, people noted that he had the zombie-like appearance of a man who hasn’t slept. Everybody knew that something was amiss when he accepted “full responsibility for mistakes and oversights” – words no Greek, let alone a Greek PM, in his right mind would ever admit to. The sudden U-turn from a defiant black sheep ready to take Greece to the edge of default to a submissive PM urging for tough austerity took place on Sunday night when he disappeared for a few minutes for a meeting with Merkel. He came back a different man fueling rumors that he had become a victim of mind control.

What are Production Reconstruction Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis plans?

There is a roadmap for the return of the drachma tattooed on Panagiotis Lafazanis chest. The head of the Left Platform believes that now is the time to unveil the design. He has already suggested having three lorries ready to deliver 22 billion euros, grabbed from the reserves of the Bank of Greece, to pensioners and public servants. The road map includes names and addresses of recipients.

What are German FinMin Wolfgang Schaeuble’s plans for Greece?

After crushing Greece, he plans to impose even more austerity to the south EU countries and later declare himself the “Emperor” of Europe. He will appoint former finance minister Yianis Varoufakis to lead a new government in Greece as both of them agree that a Grexit should be engineered. Varoufakis views are in line with those that Schaeuble has for Greece. When the former finance minister became aware of this, he took to Twitter: “If we both wanted the same things, why did he rush to oust me?”
