WikiLeaks has once again exposed how supranational organizations create artificial crises in an effort to advance the Western corporate-political elites geostrategic goals, as revealed in the transcript of a teleconference, which took place on March 19, 2016, between top International Monetary Fund (IMF) officials.

The striking conversation reveals IMF officials implying that the threat of an imminent financial disaster was necessary to force other stakeholders into accepting the IMF’s “measures” such as cutting Greek pensions and working conditions. However, a June 23 referendum will essentially freeze European decision-making at an extremely critical moment – potentially risking greater political destabilization, but also giving the organization greater leverage.

The transcript of the teleconference between Poul Thomsen, the head of the IMF’s European Department, and Delia Velkouleskou, the IMF Mission Chief for Greece, exposed the fact that the IMF is anticipating a potential Greek bailout default that would occur in concert with UK’s ‘Brexit’ referendum on EU membership.

The discussion shows the IMF strategizing about telling Germany that they will abandon the Troika (composed of the IMF, European Commission and the European Central Bank) if the European Commission and the IMF fail to reach a Greek debt relief agreement in an effort to force compliance.

The leak clearly establishes the IMF linking the Greek issue with UK referendum, creating a dynamic of increased risk of more widespread political destabilization in the EU, as noted by Bloomberg.

The IMF officials said a threat of an imminent financial disaster was necessary to force a “decision point,” leveraging German Chancellor Angela Merkel on debt relief and Greece into accepting IMF “measures” against pensions and working conditions, according to the transcript.

The UK referendum was said to add a complication that needed to be negotiated around – delaying a possible “moment of truth” until after the June 23 Brexit vote.

This leaked transcript lays out the IMF plan to utilize Greece as a pawn to force German Chancellor Angela Merkel into accepting the position of the IMF at a crucial point after the ‘Brexit’ referendum.

THOMSEN: Well, I don’t know. But this is… I think about it differently. What is going to bring it all to a decision point? In the past there has been only one time when the decision has been made and then that was when they were about to run out of money seriously and to default. Right?

VELKOULESKOU: Right!

THOMSEN: And possibly this is what is going to happen again. In that case, it drags on until July, and clearly the Europeans are not going to have any discussions for a month before the Brexits and so, at some stage they will want to take a break and then they want to start again after the European referendum.
