Greece Deputy PM Warns Of Tanks In The Streets, Mass Suicides, If Second Bailout Voted Down By Greek Parliament
With just days left until the crucial vote on passing the Greek mid-term austerity package, the assured destruction rhetoric used by the Greek status quo has hit fever pitch. Just to make sure the message is not lost on the broader population that Europe's banks will not admit defeat in a vote that could end the kleptocratic cartel's hegemony for ever, Greece's Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos has blasted suggestions that it would be better for his country to abandon the euro and return to the drachma as an "immense stupidity". He didn't stop there. For dramatic impact, the Greek vice PM also said that the country would devolve into complete anarchy, with tanks roaming the streets, a population on the verge of civil war, with mass suicides, just for dramatic impact, should bankers not get their way. More or less in line with the Hank Paulson script that is regurgitated every few years when the Ponzi system is on the verge of imploding yet again.
"Those who say this are extremely stupid. While they may be analysts, university professors or economists, saying that is an immense stupidity," Pangalos told daily Spanish newspaper El Mundo in an interview published Sunday.
Debt-wracked Greece has been told by European peers that it cannot hope to continue receiving aid from a 110-billion-euro rescue package agreed with the EU and the IMF last year without biting budget reforms and privatisations.
The Greek parliament will vote on an austerity package this week but some economists have argued that Athens needs to restructure its debt and leave the euro to become economically competitive again.
"Returning to the drachma would mean that on the following day banks would be surrounded by terrified people trying to withdraw their money, the army would have to protect them with tanks because there would not be enough police," said Pangalos.
"There would be riots everywhere, shops would be empty, some people would throw themselves out the window ... And it would also be a disaster for the entire European economy."
And since we continue to live in bizarro world, the inverse truth is that this is likely a far more accurate description of reality should the mid-term package be voted through in just a few day, although with the country on a general 2 day strike beginning Tuesday, everyone will be able to celebrate with the bankers right in front of the Athens parliament once again.
As for austerity, something tells us Pangalos will be the first casualty should Greece finally truly implement some "leaner" policy measures.

Bankers are good at stealing
Bankers are good at lyin'
Lets see how good the bankers are at flyin'
Jump you Fuckers
http://youtu.be/yge311sFhC8
The Bankers are going to Strip Mine the entire World of all of its assets.
Greece is the first domino. If Greece takes the Bail Out and the Banks and other wealthy persons buy all of the assets of Greece then the rest of the Country's will follow. Just like Dominoes.
And soon they will own it all. Won't they.
Yep, now let them come collect in my neck of the woods. Lots of veterans here who have seen combat and are still active. Come get you ASSet bitch, I dare you.
The Vice PM should be second in line for the Guillotine, right behind the PM. Banksters should be issued single shot pistols with tooth padding wrapped around the barrel.
Did anyone bother to ask him who was buying the gas for the "tanks in the streets". Germany? China? Brazil? Chili? India? Don't think so. I would hate to see what a revolution in India would look like. (Pakistan maybe? - D'oh.)
The last gallon of fuel in the world will be burned in a Tank engine.
Bullshit. Define fuel first. plenty from where I am sitting.
Gee, where'd we hear that one before..
Oh and someone buy that fat fucker a shake-weight or something.
He does look a bit "Baron von Harkonnen".
He makes the Baron look like Jack LaLane
This guy might use the shake weight in a manner not indicated on the package. I'd hate to be the guy that had to dig that thing out.
LOL...I about lost my...well..you get the idea...
Why are bankers so fucking fat?
Money belts make you look fat.
It's the pants.
The exclusive diet of duck confit, foie, and lardons.
And the stress.
After Greece falls and fails then,.... Greece will still be there.
and they will survive.
Makes me think about a tribe of people that are terrorized by a Tiger that keeps eating all o f their children. Instead of killing the Tiger they are afraid of the Tiger and they make rules that you cannot kill the Tiger. So, the Tiger keeps eating all of their young and when the Tiger runs out of the young it eates everyone else in the Tribe. Until they exist no more except in the belly of the Tiger.
Darwin said some things relevant to both your tribesmen and the Greeks. On the other hand maybe Darwin is the reason the Greeks will cave. When the Romans came some Greeks fought and some went along. When the Turks came some Greeks fought and some went along. When the Nazis came some Greeks fought and some went along. Maybe the fighting genes have been thinned out a bit by now. Hope not but is there any reliable info on how they will vote?
Sounds like desperation to me. The votes are not there. Why else would someone make such a stupid ass of himself unless backed into a corner? "No" vote is coming in a few days. Screw the bankers!
[Sounds like desperation to me.]---Vampyroteuthis...
Agreed. That is an outrageous public statement from a high-level official.
Very troubling.
A domino is wobbling. The tension is building.
The deputy prime minsiter is correct in what he says, but I need to explain a couple of things:
1. The army will be on the street to protect the politicians from the anger of the people.
2. The people jumping out of their windows will be bankers who have lost their jobs.
If Venizelos is so bright and right, how is it he did not see this disaster coming? Is it because he was gorging himself on the spoils of power?
The silver drachma of ancient Greece was used and recognized far and wide for centuries. Does anyone with any dignity believe that the Euro will be anything more than an experiment that will blow up in everyone's face?
The Venizelos clan has been fucking over Greece even longer than the Papandreous...one was PM during WW I. There's only one way to get rid of these people. Permanently.
+!
Blackmail- The politician's weapon.
U.S. Dollar and bonds keep climbing in Asia.
Bill Gross must be puking up blood.
Little did he know that $14 trillion in deficits and climbing would create a complete and total panic into U.S. Fiatsco paper.
As long as other countries enter into crisis before the US, the USD and bonds will be safehavens. All of you calling hyperinflation for the US in the short term are wrong. Deflation bitchez!!
Yep, deflation in all assets and no one with money to buy anything, even at bargin prices. the "flation" debate is useless. Both words were created by fucknut economists. Got physical assets? You better. Bartering will only get you so far. Especially if you don't have any real skills (like bankers and economists). Yeah, sure the banks will foreclose. How's that going so far? Are they going to foreclose on everyone? Don't think so.
My crystal ball is showing a nasty, fast spike upward for the dollar and bonds followed by an equally nasty drop downward. They learned their lessons the last time, don't expect them to wait long before they open the floodgates. They fear deflation worse than the fires of hell.
Oh, I thought that he said that he was OK, that he really wasn't running a net negative cash position when the notional value of the swaps and futures was taken into account because they were underwater, and he wasn't net short the physical cash treasury market either and he was just trying to get them to increase the next QE to be really really big so that yields do go up in anticipation of greater monetary stimulus because rates fell after the QE come to an end and he all along thought it was the physical buying that made the difference instead of the inflation expectations, and in any case, we can't let Greece go under because the fucking fund is so big, if the shit does indeed hit the fan, then all of those ma and pa kettle investors will loose money at the expense of the bankers. Again.
And we don't want that now, do we.
Maybe if you friend him, he'll tweet you his book-talk, too.
Wonder what his counter-party risk looks like these days?
Sometimes, you desperately need an editor, knuck.
:D
Some of my golf buddies say that about professional help, too. But then again, they're shrinks. In California. But not southern California. They all need shrinks down there.
But, about an editor, I think you're right. I just get carried away.
I have found periods to be quite helpful.
:D
What ... You type less when you're cranky?
No vote may also increase sunspots.
look at that fat pig.
Too much pastitsio, feta, lamb and Ouzo. Toss a few pans of moussaka in there to top things off. And...just one thin wafer. Just one.
Don't forget the Jeroboam of wine!
Amercan Idol-- You just described "the Meditteranean Diet." You can't get fat eating thus. To get Banker fat like gentle soul in foto, you have to eat something else. Junk food, pizza, beer, or for the rich, I guess whatever they serve at $1,000 per plate restuarants.
Question for any Greek reading: How can a Greek get this fat with his country overflowing with healthy food?
I had no idea the greeks even had tanks. Do the bankers drive them? Literally what choice do you have but to stand and fight. With those kind of words. Nearly everyone acknowledges there will need to be a restructuring at some point. So why wait? Lets get it on ...
Wow, is that the guy in the Monty Python flick who blows up?
Just like here in America when our scum bag politicians said we had to pass TARP to save the world, when push came to shove, Greece's Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos and other scum bag politicians might make sure of his prophecy to prove to the public that they are dependent on the bank cartel for their lives-- instead of honest, righteous care for the citizens of Greece to do the right thing, protect their citizens, return to self sufficiency (the drachma) and figure out how not toput the country up on the chopping block for cheap privatization for the gangsters to officially own forever.
Excuse me.
But.
How many new born does that fat fuck eat before breakfast?
The Fortune of the 300 Greek Political Oligarchs maybe equals 10 billion euro
Appartments, mansions, cars, mega-yachts, private companies, lawyers and doctors maintain their profession, stocks and financial transactions based on inside information, banc accounts in the names of relatives, clientele, etc.
With a few exceptions, mainly of the left wing of the parliament, not all of them, but the most.
There is one parlamentarian of the left wing with marmor mines.
Another one driving a second-hand Ferrari etc...
Only the parlamentarians of the soviet oriented communist party are obliged to give their salary to the party.
So then.
They are all traitors.
They are saving their own wealth even if it means making the next three generations of Greeks slaves?
Are they the ones that have moved their wealth to Switzerland?
A portion of their wealth and fortune is open for the public. They have to declare it to the tax authorities, as everybody else.
But the hidden portion of their wealth in Switzerland, or in OFF - SHORE COMPANIES is unknown.
THEY ALSO OWN SHARES IN SHIPYARDS, IN SHIPPING COMPANIES, IN FUNDS, IN ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
BUT EVEN WITH THE PUBLIC PORTION ONLY, THE FORTUNES OF THE 300 PARLAMENTARIANS IS UEBER-WEALTH.
The rest of the 600 billions in Switzerland is of wealthy businessmen etc and private wealth of Greek middle class people also.
THE POLITICAL OLIGARCHS WITH GREASY ACCOUNTS IN SWITZERLAND MUST BE FORCED TO REPATRIATE THIS WEALTH IN GREECE TO BE TAXED
That's the universal pattern among today's globalist politikos. In '08, for instance, Nancy Pelosi was "worth" c. $40 million...all via years of insider trading and influence peddling. Three years later: $60 million. The top of the pyramid gets heavier and heavier as the walls get steeper. Its all good...this Crash will resound thru the Ages, and vengeance will be sweet. I envisage "republican weddings": socialist politicians and capitalist plutocrats tied back-to-back then dumped into pools full of pirhana.
You have to be lazy or incompetent to have so much access to information, so little moral integrity, have the legal right to do insider trading and still only have a 50% gain in three years. She's not telling us about the rest of it.
I am having a difficult time understanding why the people cannot figure this all out. This is not advanced econometrics. Don't they know they are keeping the criminals who took them to this place in power with their villas and bonus pay. What is so difficult. Throw out the bastards.
After you.

AUD and EUR just cratered.
All hail to the mightly U.S. Dollar!!!
I think I see a major bounce coming.
If not and this level doesn't hold, it could be a long way down, indeed.
AUDUSD back to 1.055 by close tomorrow.
76.50 is the level for Breakout City for the $. current quote 76.50!!!
Greeks must accept austerity and put the national assets up for sale at fire sale prices. The banks must be made whole. They first made the bad loans to Greece, then they took tax payer bailouts to remain solvent, they then took that money and bought CDS insurance against a Greek default, with the rest of the bailout money they plan to buy Greece's assets at cheap prices. Then they will jack up compensation packages for the management and the bonus pool for 2011 will break all records.
So I ask, what is the friggen problem People of Greece? The bankers deserve to be made whole, what is your bitch people? Pay up and shut up, so the bankers can move on to strip mine Portugal next, then Spain, Italy and have another go a Ireland as well.
The UK and USA are also bailing out banks and working on massive austerity for the people. The thing is about the UK and USA, is that the people will vote for the party that promises to make the banks whole and cram down austerity on everyone else except the top 1%. They will get tax cuts to reward their hard work, the bottom 99% are sheep to the slaughter and the bankers are the butchers.
Oh goody gumdrops! Popcorn time!
Today was the PRIDE celebration in NYC. I wonder if Timmay and Obama stopped by to share a few corn dogs with the locals.
Can some one tell why Greece can not cut out it's Odious Debt and pay off whats reasonable?
Yes
The entire western narrative is a illusion.
indeed.
Its just some numbers on a balance sheet creating fear everywhere.
There's no armies at the gates, no flood waters approaching, no
volcanoes erupting. Its just numbers. If we as a civilization can't deal
with this problem, we are so totally screwed if a real global disaster
were to strike.
so true.
We can fight floods and volcanos. It's impossible to fight imaginary numbers.

haha, predicting mass suicides. yup. "everyone here is going to kill themselves if you don't do what I say... uh... right guys?... right?... no you go first"
Maybe it's a matter of definition. The nazi concentration camps had thousands die each day where the official cause of death was 'heart failure'. Well, their hearts did stop. Perhaps the reasoning will be, "We told you not to go into the streets to protest, you chose to do it anyway, so when we shot you you really killed yourself". Politicians are good at that sort of thinking.
Well, we can't all be ""lean"" as you, Tyler.
sure you can - consume less calories
Fewer
tanks into banks maybe, bankers thrown out windows , because they wont do it on thier own . like the old days
"..with mass suicides, just for dramatic impact, should bankers not get their way. More or less in line with the Hank Paulson script that is regurgitated every few years when the Ponzi system is on the verge of imploding yet again."
Spot on ...and let's not leave out Timmay and his hysteria (yawn) if the Debt Ceiling is not raised and next it'll be Obumma if the Republicans are elected and then the Republicans if he is (yawn, yawn) ...it's all good hysterical stuff befitting the Machevelian clown show of Govt (yawn)
the greek political oligarchs are going to be arrested by the people and prosecuted for every suicide greek people commited during thes last 2 years.
Every day the newspapers write about a new suicide.
IMF said today that "I' m sorry for you Argentina, we have made many stupid things there"
(another freaky sociopath named Camdessus said that)
Pangalos appears to have a good gut feeling about winning the vote....
Fat BASTARD lolololololo, that guy should not even have the word austerity in his lexicon. Looking at him, he has been getting fat off of the state for decades. Also they are saying all those things that are bad are really good. Leaving the Euro and reintroducing the drachma. If they say stuff it and just leave the Euro, what can europe or the banks do. Yea they can say we won't buy your bonds, but that is BS. Because they will introduce the Drachma and it will be way less than the Euro and the dollar, and this way people will be able to get more from Greece than other places in Europe. Remember Greece is still Greece, the only difference is that they won't have to listen to foreign banks and pay their debt to them. So factories would come to the nation and would be able to have a cheaper cost of producing their products and then outselling them to nations. Greece would be an exporter more so, and that is why Germany and France don't like that. They don't want competition.
ho;y fuck that prick is fat. he forgot to mention that
the water would turn to blood and that human blood would turn
into frog piss. sheesh.

Yes that is one fat fuck.
OMFG... he could not even make it one block to flee the so called tanks in the street without dying on the spot. A candy bar that feeds a starving orphan in Africa for a week would only enrage this pallaus of .. engorged greed and gluttonous living.
Do they still have adequate lift in those biz choppers to lift that dead weight?
For that comment you get one free baklava lol.

Is that panic I smell? Or is demagoguery just part of the normal game plan in bizarro world?
When these guys run out of mirrors and smoke, the pain is going to be exquisite.
I think that obnoxious odor your smelling is the smell of mendacity to quote "Big Daddy"
Ah, another person who loves "Big Daddy."
Mendacity is the word this week. We get to see who lives and who is outed as a parasite.
"Europe is ONE BIG FIRE SALE!... WORTHLESS I TELL YA... ALL WORTHLESS...
Good ole Pangalos-- He's also famous for saying, "We ate the money together," meaning we're all responsible for the money that was spent because we all used it up. The protesters, needless to say, just loved that. They also have a special chant just for him, a simple, but melodic-sounding in Greek "F- off, Pangalos."
Someone from the national council (I think) of the ruling party, PASOK, named Yiannis Nikolaou, resigned today. Since I didn't see any mention of it in the American media, and my reading skills in Greek are not that good, I wonder if perhaps he didn't have a vote, for some reason. I do hope, though, that his resignation means one less vote for the midterm plan. His opposition to the midterm plan was his reason for resignation.
If there are any others in the ruling party planning to vote against the plan, I hope they don't say so ahead of time. Encourage G-Pap to think he's safe, so he won't go around twisting the arms of members of other parties. I think the only way to defeat this plan is by keeping one's opposition to it quiet, and only revealing opposition when it really counts--during the vote. And then it's going to be bye-bye time, G-Pap.
they did eat the money together, some more than others.
I enjoy watching socialism die, although hate to see the collateral damage.
Either way they vote the greek tendency to live beyond their means is at an end.
Life is tough when you first tear up your credit card.
Credit cards. No worse than watching addicted people stand in court on day time teevee pleading cases in dollar amounts much higher and wasteful than your own little credit card.
Instilling fear.. the tanks are coming, the tanks are coming, unless you pass the bill. They'll go another round by telling them the food source is only 3 days left until they sign the bill.
Then they'll go another round creating a terriorism act, unless you sign the bill.
After they have exhausted all fear enabling efforts, the bill will still be on table to sign.
T-Pan looks like he is responsible for about 10% of Greece GDP food consumption. If this guy is forced onto a diet just think of the lost tax revenue. No matter what happens, this turdball will find a way to get his cake.
I understand he was an aerobics instructor before he got into politics. He just kinda let himself go the last few years.

THE SUICIDE THING IS NOT A JOKE.
BUT, THE INDIGNADOS MOVEMENT PUTS AN END TO THIS INTROVERSY.
NOW WE ARE HEADED AGAINST THE SYSTEM, NOT AGAINST OURSELVES!!!
_______________________________________
EVERY DAY GREEK PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE ON FINANCIAL PROBLEMS (MEN MOSTLY, AGED 45, 50, 55) WITH FAMILY.
BUT THE FAMILIES DO NOT TELL THIS WAS A SUICIDE BECAUSE THE CHURCH DENIES TO BURRY THE DEAD WITH THE TYPICAL CEREMONY.
SO THEY HAVE TO BE BURRIED IN A SEPARATE NICHE OF THE CEMETARY, FOR SUICIDERS ONLY.
SO, THE RELATIVES LIE !!! AND THEY SAY THAT THEIR MAN WAS ILL AND DIED!!!
SO, THESE CASES ARE NOT REGISTERED AS SUICIDES !!!
you should tell the people..
belief is death, thinking is life.

Most Greeks have bonds with the Christian religion.
And even the ones who are not "strong" believers, do not wish to burry their people without a christian ceremony, in a separate place.
So, they lie.
These people are victims, not failures. I'm sad for them. Every man who is suicidal should, instead of taking his own life, take the life of a banker. Then he may be executed by the state as a martyr, die with dignity instead of shame.
This sounds like the same shit they were spewing when the US was being forced to do the bailouts. I say call them on their bullshit Greece and give them a f*cking reason to have tanks on the street! It is time you had a good rebellion, and the same goes for the USA. Time to nut up, or take it in the stinker... your choice.
Put me down for... "Nut up".
Serves the fuckers right for putting all their money in a 'bank' instead of investing it into things of real value.
Banks only exist because stupid motherfuckers actually put money in them. Including your grandma. And then they wonder why the bankers have so much power and the money gets stolen!
Time to bring out the guillotine for the bankers, but seriously, if you know any old people, make sure the old motherfuckers know that money in a bank is just supporting bankers and their corruption.
One thing to bear in mind these bastards will be long gone when the shit hits the fan. Speaking of which anyone seen Hank Paulson.
Suicide is part of the language of the Kleptocrats.
They want you to do it.

Greece is just a small preview of what is coming, all over the world. As the banksters, politicians, figureheads and PTB all try to hold on for dear life to the old and dusty, the people will always rebel against the aged, and move towards the new.
The problem with the small percentage of people whom are the Elite is, they are much slower than us. And, when it comes to numbers, our power greatly outweighs theirs. When it comes down to it, if the people resist, the people will get their way. Count on it.
Just look at all of the underground movements: Silver Liberation Army, Anonymous, Silver Viral Project, Lulzsec, and countless others that move in the shadows. This is only the beginning, be an Agent of the Revolution. Resist.

Is Henry Paulson a adviser to the Greek government? Here we go again. Oh my, riots in the streets, martial law.........oh boo hoo hoo...........
come on Greeks. Don't fall for it..........
The problem is that the politicians are the only ones truly capable of calling the banksters out on their shit; the common man just a pawn caught in the middle trying to get three hots and a cot three times a day enough days in a row to grow old enough to be wise enought to see just how fucked he truly is/has been for approximately 10,950 hots and cots. Were the politicos to do their jobs they would effectivly be slitting their own throats; which is not going to happen. Show me the tanks bitchez.

Also, what if Greece were nuked off the friggin map? Would THAT bring down the rest of the worlds economies? Didn't think so, let's give her a whirl shall we.........
Yes it would.
But then maybe you are just stupid.
Obviously. Otherwise I would know that the entire world is directly tied to the economy of one tiny little country with a population of less than 12 million people and a GDP of 320 billion or so. Silly me.
This is not the time to get cute and try to time a "mini rally", in anything. Get out of paper and the banks first thing tomorrow bitchez
The first step in these kinds of negotiations is to REALLY default.
Then and only then does the other side know you are serious.
Good people need to physically track down these voting members and let them know personally what the future holds is they vote "wrong."
Greece will get the Argentinean treatment, not the Iceland treatment.
Debt repudiation is tough on people who are considered untrustworthy, unpredictable, and irresponsible.
Soros just spooked the EUR and yes China is selling EUR. as is most of Asia
With the backdrop of racial tension, it should get much worse here than Greece. How come mainstream "news" didn't tell Americans about this?:

It's kind of ironic that his name is almost "Pangloss", Voltaire's character from Candide who was relentlessly optimistic when this guy is indulging hyperbolic pessimism.
i'd say the moment the government threatens the people they are supposed to be serving, they've got to go.
of course, we all know they don't serve the people.
greece is just another case of the domino, resisting the centripetal force, that doesn't want to fall.
though by the looks of humpty dumpty there in the still, i'd say he's a harbinger.
Sounds familiar," We were threatened with martial law if we didn't pass this..." a la 2008 Congress TARP. F--K these people already. Let the heads roll!
Tanks in the streets, mass suicides, dogs and cats living together . . .
And zombies? Will there be zombies? Oh, please say there will be zombies!
…I mean, aside from the banks.
Bankers throw themselves out the windows. I upside
As already stated above, the worst case for TPTB isn't that Greece falls into anarchy after defaulting, it is that Greece does NOT fall into anarchy but actually weathers default bravely. Then the banksters are revealed with their pants down and their dicks in their hands--d'oh they can't really follow though on their empty threats to wreck civilization. No more holding any country hostage. Iceland is tiny but Greece is not. If Greece survives, we all default, let the banksters commit mass suicide!
hate to pick on the fatman...but who is that fat fuck?
hate to pick on the fatman...but who is that fat fuck?
Oh its Pangalos...okay
Change "suicide" to "homicide" and I think you might be starting to tap into the Greek vibe.
These banksters aren't shitting themselves about the debt;
they're shitting derivatives.
Maybe to Russian mobsters laundering money.
Come on guys, give the Greek a break. He's just, like, expressing his opinion or something. We should learn tolerance of different viewpoints and support free speech. Hello, it's called the 1st Amendment.
Also, so what if he's overweight? My wife is twice as fat as that and she's still beautiful to me.
And what if the guy's mom saw the things you all are writing about her son? It would probably hurt her feelings, and that's just not cool dudes.
So in conclusion I'll whisper words of wisdom: live and let die.
We can see here the power of mandated hysteria -- its spirit overwhelms 90% of people fully cognizant of the fraudulence and manipulation at its source.
Official distraction fireworks -- a sideshow for the bourgeoisie, a day of cruelty at the arena.
The ruling class and their coteries -- let's say 100,000 decision-makers, and then 10,000,000 people who implement their decisions -- they are not going anywhere, nor is there any threat to their existence whatsoever.
European civil disorder is only a helpless reaction to higher-level decisions. The fulcrum of this controversy is supposedly the decisions of democratically-elected representatives -- the narrative presents the crisis as hinging on the elected consenting to selling out their country.
Yet this sanctity of democracy was smashed by Hitler two eras ago -- and he was already a tool of international monopoly capital. Remember too that the Communists in Greece were handed to Churchill's butchers immediately after armistice.
Celebrations over fantasies of doom and vicarious cruelty evidently harmonizes with male humans intimately -- nonetheless, isn't taking on the responsibility of preparing a real world solution more worthy of our education and our luxury?
While certainly some events elude the predictions of the ruling class -- none of them fall outside the spectrum of easy managability. The last contest to capitalism came symbolically in 1917 -- with labor maneuvered into submission by the 50s, and even cultural opposition stifled in the response to the 60s.
Since then it's been public relations and corporate planning -- over the world governments who just offer a convenient democratic facade and overt fiscal management role.
Ain't no revolution gettin' built by nobody -- some former colonies staggering into economic independence -- but as long as the US generals are friends with the banking consortiums -- we are just getting DISTRACTED from building an intelligent platform by the forceful mesmerization of world media.
And I don't see nothing new here except a few whiffs of connecting financial management conceptual structures with conservative anti-politics hyperbole. The answer needs to be classically progressive, which means responsible, intelligent, and primarily focused on helping the least powerful -- not a melange of investors gloating over doom in their off-time.
