Wow just think all Greek problems solved simply by the crooks all shifting 1 chair to the right!

The chart really would have reflected what will be happening to certain "players" in the global ponzi collapse if there were one fewer chair than idiots trying to fill them because when the music stops that is exactly what happens--someone else gets left out of the "wealth effect"

In the most prominent change, he named Evangelos Venizelos, the former defense minister, as finance minister.

That should calm things down a bit.

(after all... austerity will only be a (slightly) slower death)

"The Markets" think it's good that a Greek bailout is planned? I wonder why? When a drunk is dying from liver disease should we give him more vodka?

I suppose when you're an alcohol dealer it's good news.

Actually more vodka, supplied indefinitely, is far less costly to the state than price of a liver transplant, hospitalization, and follow-on treatment.

Because otherwise they and their country will fall into the hands of Bilderberger controlled  Euro-Nazis.

 

The Euro and the EU are the prestage for the One-World-Government, the New World Order.

 

America will share the same fate, make no mistake.

 

In this Bilderberg list there is also one Greek name:

Max Keiser made this very point yesterday, i.e., that this is simply a trial run for the United States. Read: massive wealth transfer to the elite and super rich (if that's not redundant). Max said he ran into Steve Forbes in an Athens hotel lobby Wed morning and Steve was rubbing his hands and practically salivating over this once in a lifetime opportunity to pick up airports, roads, health care and basically all the Greek public infrastructure for pennies on the dollar.

Fri, 06/17/2011 - 16:49 | 1378749 Franken_Stein

But Steve Forbes is an old man and going to die anyway.

So what's the point ?

 

See, these people are not very smart.

There are many families that think dynastically. Forbes is one of them. That is one of their greater strengths over people who think in terms of one lifetime.

Steve Forbes is first and foremost an asshole and a worthles carbohydrate unit.

I wish him and his family a gruesome and painful death.

 

To call these people scum is an insult to the word scum.

And wrt the term "Euro-Nazi." Another in long line of portmanteau phrases to appropriate the word Nazi and/or fascist, e.g, neo-nazi, crypto-fascist, etc. But as we proceed from the bloodiest century in human history to the 21st, which may well be the darkest, it's clear one man more than any other really understood what fascism really was. Mussolini. Fascism and all its variants, neo or otherwise, really should properly be called "corporatism." Although it doesn't slide off the tongue as easily and have the same visceral impact it is really corporations that have spawned the phenomenon of the ECM, surveillance grid, auguring wages, and a reduced standard of living. Once the control apparatus is in place, going from a surveillance state to a full-on Orwellian police state is merely a turnkey operation.
