Paul Craig Roberts Warns Greek Government May Be Assassinated In This Crisis If They Pivot East To Stop World War III
With
people around the world worried about the escalating crisis in Greece
and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, today former U.S. Treasury
official, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, warned King World News that the Greek
government may be assassinated if they pivot East to stop World War
III.
Former US Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts (below) says Greece may maneuver to stop World War III
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: “The
Greek people and the Greek government have before them the unique
opportunity to prevent World War III. All the Greek government needs to
do, if the Greek people will get behind the government, is to default
on the loans, resign from the EU and from NATO, and accept the deal that
the Russians have offered them….

“This would begin the unraveling
of NATO. Very quickly Spain and Italy would follow. So southern
Europe would desert NATO and so would Austria, Hungary and the Czech
Republic. NATO is the
mechanism that Washington uses to cause conflict with Russia. So as
the EU and NATO unravel, the ability of Washington to produce this
conflict disappears.
The Greek government understands
that what is being imposed on Greece is not workable. Since the
(implementation of) austerity the Greek economy has declined by 27
percent. That’s a depression. And they keep hoping that the Germans
wake up one day and realize that austerity is not the way you cure debt,
and that the Greek government cannot agree to conditions that drive the
Greek population into the ground. They (the troika) are talking about
(a) genocide (of the Greek population).
The Russians understand that
Greece is being plundered by the West and met with the leader of Greece
and offered him a deal. They said, ‘We’ll finance you. But not to pay
off the German and Dutch banks, the New York hedge funds or the IMF.’”
Dr. Roberts' Amazing Predictions From February 4, 2015
Eric King: “Dr. Roberts, this touches on a point that you made during a February 4 (KWN) interview. You 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’re going to play a different game and accept Russia’s offer.’”
Was The Greek Government Threatened With Assassination?
Eric
King continues: “You said that back on February 4. Here we are coming
to the end of June and there’s still no deal. So that was a correct
prediction on your part. But you also went on to say:
“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, and 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 deaths. There have been a number of them who have been overthrown in CIA organized coups.
Eric
King continues: “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.’”
Dr. Roberts: “Eric,
you summed it up very well. That’s exactly the case. It could well be
that the Greeks know they can’t default and leave or they will simply
be assassinated. This may have been made clear to them.
If You Leave The EU, You Are Dead
The troika has no interest in
the facts of the matter. They have another agenda that we already
discussed. And the Greek government has to see that there is no
interest on the part of the troika to resolve the issue. That does
suggest they understand that the real solution is not open to
them. That they will not be permitted to leave the EU and NATO and make
this deal with the Russians. I
wouldn’t be surprised if they have simply been told, ‘You can make a
good show of it, but if you leave (the EU,) you are dead.’
Will The Greeks Stand Strong And Save The Planet From World War III?
Otherwise there is this chance
that the Greeks, by defaulting and leaving Europe, begin a process of
unraveling NATO. Therefore, the Greeks have in their hands the ability
to save the planet from World War III.” ***This
