American economist Paul Craig Roberts, former assistant secretary of the United States Treasury of Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal,  warns that there may be an organized plan to kill Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. In an interview with King World News on the debt of Greece and its implications he said:

“There is much more involved here with Greece than just the interests of the creditor banks, who still want to be paid 100 cents on the dollar. There is another strong interest and this is the interest of the centralizing European Union government and the interest of the European Central Bank as the policy-maker for all of the countries. So they are using the Greek crisis to establish that ruling power structure. That makes it difficult to make an agreement with the new Greek government to ameliorate the conditions imposed on Greece. So it makes the EU inflexible. That inflexibility gives Greece the cards to say, ‘We’re not playing your game.'”

“We’ll see whether the Greek government does that. Now of course they may not be allowed to. They may be assassinated. It’s entirely possible. I’ve never thought that the United States would allow a new government in any of its vassal states to rise up and become independent of Washington’s control. So the new Greek government officials may have an ‘accident’. All kinds of terrible things can happen to people, ad have, that get out of sync with Washington. We’ve had several cases in Latin and South America of leaders who wouldn’t follow Washington’s line having mysterious death. There have been a number of them who have been overthrown in CIA organized coupsl “This Greek drama has been incredible and you have been in front of this story the entire way.  You were the first to predict that Russia would get involved and you predicted this deal wouldn’t (immediately) get done.  But these threats that have been on the table are a bit terrifying if you are the Greek government because you are having to worry about being assassinated (if you don’t comply).  Is that last part of the puzzle the reason why they haven’t been able to work with the Russians or the BRICS Bank?  To (simply) default and say, ‘We’re not going to be debt slaves to the West (and the IMF).  We’re going to set up our own currency.  We’re going to reboot here and we are going to look to the East.’”

If you leave the EU you are dead!
