Having
been a long term visitor to Greece and having a family connection
there, I can tell you that the full extent of what the Greek people
are suffering is well beyond the propaganda on the media. What is not
reported widely by the mainstream media are the facts on the ground,
the people behind the statistics. Overall unemployment is running at
over 22%, among the young it is over 50% and the IMF, (International Mankind Fuckers) has dictated
that another 150,000 have to lose their jobs. On top of three years
of wage cuts and tax increases, the Mafia at the IMF are demanding a
further 22% cut in the minimum wage with further pension cuts. Think
on these figures, try to see it happening where you live, what would
you do? The Greek people are expected to accept a life of severe
third world deprivation at least for the next generation or two, and
accept it like good subservient serfs. Would you kneel and accept
this plunder of the social fabric of your society, see your kids
future deposited in the bank account of the corporate fascists that
rule this world, or would you stand up and try to do something about
the situation? There is no point in appealing to your "elected"
government, it has been taken over by a Goldman Sachs hit man with
his heavy team waiting in the wings, the illusion of democracy has
been broken. The technocrat Papademos, installed by the IMF to run
Greece in a manner suitable to the financial Mafia, obviously has
double standards. In a statement about the mass protests taking place
across Greece he said, ”Vandalism, violence and destruction have no
place in a democratic country and it won't be tolerated.” Of course
he believes that an international body imposing somebody to run that
country, has a place in democracy and will be tolerated? Well perhaps
it will be tolerated by the suits in parliament, but will it be
tolerated by the people? The extent of the anger in Greece can be
seen in the bitter clashes with that imposed authority. In Athens as
the suits with their imposed leader sorted out the implementing of
the IMF plan, riots covered the city. More than 150 shops were looted
including at least one gun shop, 48 building were set alight. Also destroyed,
perhaps symbolically, was the Asty cinema, which was used during the
second world war by the Gestapo as a torture chamber. While this was
going on, similar scenes were taking place in Thessalonika, other
cities and on some of the Greek islands.
What
worries me is that we all tend to feel that it is all happening over
there, it couldn't possible happen here, but we are all in the same
ponzi scheme, sooner or later our little illusion will be shattered
and we will all be standing doing battle in our own little patriotic
backyard. Mean while, the corporate fascists are organised world
wide. This is not a national problem, this plunder of public assets
is organised on an international basis and it can only be combated on
an international basis, this is corporate fascism taking full
control, the end of elected governments having a say in the fiscal
policies of their country. Of course you may feel that your
government is more democratic and won't let it happen to you, they'll
fix it before it really hurts you, more the fool you.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteGreece and the Eurozone can rebuild their economies to employ, feed and house everyone, upon money which is owned and controlled by those willing to work.
The Ithaca HOURS local currency http//ithacahours.com, which I founded 20 years ago, has transacted millions of dollars value within our city of 30,000. As well, I'm author of the book "Hometown Money: How to Enrich Your Community with Local Currency." http://paulglover.org/currencybook.html
Because all national currencies are backed more by speculation than by commodities, my article "Labor: the New Gold Standard" http://paulglover.org/1107.html describes the benefits of time-denominated money.
