The Financial Mafia Put The Boot In.

     It looks like the Greek "bailout" will go ahead, and the people of Greece will be in hawk to the financial Mafia to the tune of €86 billion. Not that the people will see much of this money, about 80% of it will find its way, very quickly, back to the bond holders behind the ECB, (European Central Bank), but what the people of Greece will see, is another massive drop in their standard of living, coming from increased taxes, lower pensions,  a higher retiring age, higher VAT, and a relaxing of health and safety conditions and other working conditions, plus a squeeze on wages. They are also expected to stand by and see €50 billion of their public assets sold off at rock bottom prices, to the corporate buddies of the financial Mafia, within the next couple of years. This is the Financial Mafia putting the boot in on the people of Greece, and the national government can go to hell in a hand cart.

     The bailout will not solve Greece's debt problem, most economic "experts" agree on this, most agree that it is unsustainable, no matter if there is another bailout after this one. What it will do, is syphon more public money up to the financial parasites who will bleed country after country dry, see the people of those countries descend into deprivation, with never a compassionate look in their direction. To them people are units to be used for profit and nothing else.

Pupil's Open Letter.

      The fascist regime in Greece will do anything to intimidate the people. Recently they passed legislation that makes it illegal for teachers to go on strike, no matter their grievance. The education system is in free-fall, what little is left is due to the dedication of those teachers and the determination of the pupils, not the system or its fascist governors.

This from Contra Info:

Piraeus, Greece: Open letter from a secondary school student

To my teachers… and the others:

      My name is K.M., and I am a student in the first class of secondary school, at the 10th Lyceum in Drapetsona, Piraeus.

     I decided to write this text because I wanted to express my outrage, my indignation, at the nerve and hypocrisy of those who govern us and all those journalists and the mainstream media who help them to impose their lawless and immoral plans at the expense of the pupils, the students, and the younger generation.

    My reason for writing is the intention of my teachers to go on strike during the university entrance exam period, and the politicians and journalists who shed crocodile tears about my future, which is “at risk” because of this strike.

What are you saying? What kind of future do I have, because of you? And who is it who has really put my future at risk?

Let’s look at who has constructed the future, and all of our lives, for a very long time already:

    - Who made the future for my grandfather? Who dressed his future with the cast-off clothes of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), and forced him to immigrate to Germany?

     - Who has misgoverned and ripped off this entire country?

     - Who has forced my mother to work from dawn till dusk, all for 530 euros a month? Money that, after paying food and bills, is not even enough for a new pair of shoes, let alone a book I might want from a flea market table.

      - Who has cut my father’s salary in half?

      - Who is it who has slandered him, threatened to force him to return to work under civil conscription, threatened to fire him, along with all of his co-workers in public transportation, when they, wanting only to live with dignity, went on strike? More »
