Greek Ministry of Finance Is Now Burning
Update: It appears the blaze has been put out for now.
All in a day's work for a country whose people have to carry the fat kleptofascists on their backs. Next up: all other institutional buildings. And yes, this is starting to look like May 6. In the meantime, this should be good for another 100 pips in the EURUSD.

The AUD says that its just a figment of your imagination.
HI HO SILVER AWAY!!!!!
Oil is having a stiffy too!
The whole bloody commodities complex is on a rampage today.
It is hard to believe that the Greeks can't even burn down a building correctly.

Think the algos are programmed to go the other way when there is violence: go bullish.
The algos are long riot gear...
Greek finance ministry burning: Silver up 80cts.
GPap caught by a lynch mob and burnt to a crisp: Silver up 8 bucks.
The poeple have spoken.
unfortunately it's all greek to the bankers.
Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have each insured this property, naming themselves (and some members of the Federal Reserve) as beneficiaries, for 25x its value.
They also have CDS with AIG, which will now require AIG to provide a taxpayer extracted and large lump sum payment to Lloyd & Jamie.
(Rumor has it that Jamie and Lloyd were just in that building the other day on official 'business,' and that they both disappeared for a 30 minutes or so...hmmm)
*cough* Thermite *cough*
Yeah, they better "pull it" like they did WTC7
The fire was localized in the records storage room. Surprisingly, only certain filing cabinets were destroyed and unrecoverable. More as the story develops... /sarcasm
I'm sure the banksters will understand Greek when the ropes are around their necks!
Does this give "fire sale" a new meaning? Careful burning all those public buildings, it will reduce "austerity prices" when they come for the keys.

The roof
The roof
The roof is on fire....
I think we all know the rest.
They're not really their own buildings now, are they?
YES, they own their public buildings like those in the US own the trees in "their" National Forests.
Oh goody, I'm going to go hug one right now!
I am a proud tree-hugger.
I grew up in the desert and realize their true value.....
one of my best friends is a finacial advisors. last night under clam winds his hundred year old oak tree in his front yard simply fell over. I told him it was an omen. he didnt think that was funny. also, no one was hurt by the tree fall.
100 years is a baby for an oak tree. Their normal cycle is 300 years growing 300 dying.
That IS an omen.
This is what happens when the leaders refuse to listen to the people. What a mess.
+1776
If the leaders were smart they would make retirement 28!
Those leaders are such dummyheads, they're mean too. Nobody and I mean NOBODY should have to work until their 55. It should be a free ride from 28 to as long as you live and free Ouzo for everyone!
Yeah yeah yeah...
STFU and educate yourself before spewing myths.
(Hint: The average retirement age for the greeks is....... 61. And anyways.... in an ideal world people should actually be able to retire whenever they want, as long as they are satisfied with getting back exactly what they put in.)
Who cares anyway? Germany is in need of high skilled workers and we need the young Greek generation. They will leave their country out of desperation and move to (North) European countries like Holland, Sweden, Germany and so forth. Having said that, I don't think they will like that. In case of Germany they won't earn much more (maybe a +400 EUR).
Greek people are already one of the biggest migrant groups in Germany and although people here are tired of the Greek drama show, they will welcome skilled people that want to work.
Getting back what? Put in what? Huh?
People retire when they want and have what they have. Period. Get gov't out of this decision and money "management" ie: business of theft.
Instant Karma's gonna get you..
forgive me if i'm wrong, but didnt stocks open down on may 6 and stay down around 250 points (DOW) for a few hours before "it" happened?
Yup we should close about 500 pts up today with the EUR at 1.47, AUD 1.1 and CHF at 0.78.
Party on!
Well, the sell orders filled my screens on that dumb ass lift in the Euro just now...so I am going to have to respectfully disagree with your conclusion.
The very fact that the S&P has traveled as far as it has in the last 2.3 sessions, and on zero volume again, is most of what you need to know. But specifically, that breach of 1.44 on the EUR/USD brought out the red side of the book.
Fire...fire...fire!!! Does this help or hinder them going forward implementing the austerity plan they just passed? Links please, thank you for the great work on pretty much every topic you publish on, I'm envious (except the global hunter themes //sarc on).
Definitely it will help. Think of it as the Greek version of "cas for clunkers". Nothing spurs GDP like destroying capital and having to replace it with borrowed money.
Not to worry, when the Government starts killing its' own citizens Obama will send in the drones......
IMO, he already has.
EDIT* i'm sorry, did i just see an advertisement for "greek singles" on ZH? Lol no wonder no one ever takes me seriously when i point them to this site, first Limbaugh, then beck, now this. I think it's time to start being selective towards the company ZH keeps.
Hey those young Greek ladies are under severe austerity and need love too!
The greek men certainly aren't going to do it.
ROFLMAO
The company who keeps? Ummm... augie? Those are Google ads, which are served up based upon your location and interests.
All I ever see are ads for the one local bank that is trying to take over the local mobile banking market. I see those everywhere I go online.
hahaha So what am i looking at that would suggest i am interested in single greek women? Googles algo's would be a great party game. I guess i should be thankful i didn't get a suggestion for something crazier huh? lol
Or it may suggest that you look at too much porn.
it's not "watching porn" it's job training, i'm trying to get an internship at the SEC. Besides it beats having to talk to chicks my own age and risk being infected with the apathy of youth. I'm very defensive when it comes to my aversion for social interaction.
You forget infowars as well. At first I noticed a huge difference in the crowd and was put off by that, however upon contemplation, don't we really want to wake more people up? So therefore, all should be welcome, it is our job to educate them and provide links to other sites and reading material. Lord knows this site and it's followers have educated me beyond words. I have been here since the days of blog. Welcome all soak this up and learn all you can from the rest. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Please choose to donate to keep the site alive. Perhaps if more freeloaders donated, Tyler could turn off the google ads.
I must have been too busy looking at porn to see this post at first. I dont want Tyler to turn off the ads, i just want ZH to remain untainted by the feces throwing in the media circus.
Man, if there was just a synthetic way to get long burning buildings in Athens, I would be up huge today.
Okay, since the call has worked out so far, I'm doubling down. Long flames on the exterior of the parliament building against short the Greek REIT ETF.
Isn't fascism great?
When do we start betting on lamposts and manila?
Well, excuse me if I don't participate in the lynching trade. Morally speaking, I cannot get behind it.
But parliament on fire...sure.
At least they're now burning somebody elses building - now that the slaves realize their country was sold out from under them.
lol
+1
hahaha just came to exactly the same thought. They now have nothing left to lose and everything to gain.
Next up.... what's the army going to do? And will the bankers give them the petrol needed for their tanks?
EUO says non event
Gold and silver spike up says 'event'.
its a good start! lets ALL! Hope (and Pray) that they finish strong!
Move the turtles!
small flame....nothing to see here...move along
Its transitory.
and, qed, bullish.

Riot on = Rally on.
Warren Buffett says the worst is behind (Real Estate) and we will see a huge turn around later this year.
Can't wait till the market blows up in his face and his time he takes losses in the billions
right on, for me its that grizzled prick "suck it up" Munger.
but this is only what warren buffet is saying...
Well Case Shiller disagrees with Buffet and says theres 30% more downside to go.
Can somebody please explain to me why EURUSD is so strong?
Just a big carry trade-thing going for central planning-interest-rate-difference or does the market price in something else?
I mean, come on, ministry of finance burning, Greece looks like on the edge of collapse (?).
Can someone explain why with the EURUSD 'so strong' the stocks are up?
Of course not, none of it can be explained because all we have now are broken markets controlled totaly by machines.
Because it's all a CONfidence game. Gotta make the shiny stuff shiny, lest someone notice.
Say what you will, but we could learn alot from these pissed off Greeks - they're not gonna let a good crisis go to waste. Somebody nudge Ireland and tell them to turn on the tele. And to think this old fashioned "flash mob" doesn't even need twitter or some shit....old school.
More than 1% of the irish population demonstrated at the gov. They were ignored and didn't have the balls to en-force their will if necessary.
In other words, 99% did not.
it's going to get ugly.
Good, let it! I hope the Greek People give a new meaning to the term BTFD.
BTFD now = Burn The Fucker Down
The Grik Pipple weren't innocent victims.......they were full member, privileged card carrying whores ! The Griks are left of our Democrat slutz ! Monedas 2011 Hard to fool a fooler !
Remember the tunnels....remember the tunnels....
This is not over...a vote does not mean an event will happen...you are dealing with politicians.....they lie quite a bit....
The big joke is the 50 billion number for the asset sales.....I bet they don´t get 5 billion....
Its hard to see why even a connected elite or its govt would want to own anything there with nothing but a pissed off and broken society. What good is owning a port or highway when the citizens can pay for it and will likely sabotage it.
Very Cool. God, imagine the Fed going up in smoke? Good times!
Now go find casa Papandreou.
DON'T F*UCK WITH SPAAAAARTA!
Don't forget the marshmallows for the Fiat Fire!
Got to be highly bullish!
Pull It
BURN BABY BURN.....
Bullish for clean up and pollution control, private security firms, for-profit prisons, stun guns and jackboots
Postal bank is on fire now
this could be a problem, if all the firemen took the day off
The subtitle reads "Fire in the Post Office" NOT the Ministry.
Don't rush it...
Its not the post office thats Postal Bank.
This won't amount to anything, unfortunately. The politicians will go through with the package and pat themselves on the back for being responsible about it. It would take the entire country in an uproar to change the minds of the politicos and 99% are just too complacent to really care.
I know. It just pisses me off. I have been in front of my local commissioners begging then not to throw money down the drain.....what do they do? Whatever they want. Then, they want the people who are financially conservative to foot the bill. I have a news flash! If a small business is making over 250K per year, it's because someone or several someones are working their asses off. As for my family, we've reduced the hours that we work so that we can have a better quality of life. To hell with working hard just to pay taxes.
The Post Office is on the ground floor. The Ministry is the rest of the building above it that you see in the picture.
So when can we expect the total collapse of this building due to the intense fire and melting steel columns? It must be just a matter of time now.
Freefall speed collapse any minute now surely.
About 20 minutes after the BBC announces it for sure.

Need to do a quick check to see if Silverstien owns it..
stop it, don't tease me.
pull it!
awesome

You have watched too many 9-11 movies.
Actually all I needed to do was read the NIST report to find out this was in fact what happened. They proved it by using black box computer models. If NIST says it is true who am I to doubt them. They even admitted nearly 3 seconds of free fall.
http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/techbeat/tbx2008_1120_wtc7.htm
So now whenever I see a structural steel building on fire I am deeply worried of imminent collapse. You should be as well.
Ah, go back into the box in the G-Pap gimp chamber.
Gee, I wonder who the anonymous coward is that just rampaged through here and junked the shit out of everyone?
Boo Hoo, my pussy hurts.
I hate cowards who cannot have an intelligent discussion, so they troll along in anonymity in their mommies basement surrounded by their D&D gear.
The last time i deployed there was this one dude (or female) who would shit on the seats of the female porta-johns. It got so bad they started posting guards outside the shitters. I bring this up because the kind of person who will junk every post on a thread, is the same kind that will shit on a toilet seat. I dont think the intent is malicious although it may appear that way. I laugh every time i think about how fucking crazy human beings really are.
Everyone knows intense fires melting steel and collapsing buildings can only occur when the source of the fire is a few hundred feet above the column bases.
/sarc
What?!
All the records that would be lost in a collapse!
Who could want such a thing to happen??
haha yea they better watch all the adjacent buildings as well...you know how they get all wobbly they see another building collapse
it would appear the will of the people has been represented in some way, shape, or form.
just got fucked by silver's morning wood
Ah, so this is how cradle to grave socialism ends.

It's about the bonus bubba! We'll see an up day also tomorrow! After that nobody cares!
Yes, Yes. People confused by the "market" being up today need only glance at their calenders again and realize there is the rest of this session and one more session tommorrow for EOQ window dressing.
Then of course, we head into the long holiday weekend with zero market action on Friday because all of the insiders have been dumping their shares for months on end as Tyler regularly reports.
I'm definitely heading out into the country this weekend. No telling what kind of bullshit false flag is coming over the 4th of July weekend--an attack on the sheeples' biggest holiday of nationalistic pride will set them right up for the next phase of the jackboot state clampdown and one good final shearing.
Looks like the petulant junker is out for 100% junks today. Too funny. Maybe it would be easier if s/he just changed his/her diaper.
Its Robo, busted him twice in this act yesterday.
On the bright side, maybe that means at least one person is actually reading the posts.........or not.
I noticed that too. Its like this kid is going around just junking everything. Someone's harboring a bit of internet rage.
Could be us iPad users. It is all too easy to accidentally junk someone when trying to scroll with a fat finger.
Oh, you must be that vibrant, energetic consumer I hear so much about. Good to meet ya.
So you stocked up on that future food source? Good for you. Use it now, eat it later. :>)
The indignants are hiding out. Later they'll come back to syntagma and hold a concert. KUMBAYA MY LORD KUMBAYA! We'll stay here all summer, we can't go on vacation anyway. Might as well hook up and get laid.
Gold and Silver just shot up......
Just noticed that--silver has gone vertical!

I love the smell of burning fiat paper in the morning!
Has the BBC announced its collapse yet?
pods
It's just a part of the celebration, fireworks, things like that. No worry folks, just buy stocks!
I can't believe my luck today - apparently this totally hot chick from the Ukraine wants to meet me! Riots, romance, whats not to love!
She has a penis.
who Christine Legard?
No, no, I said she has a penis, not she IS a (giant walking) penis.
This is highly bullish.
The more of Greece that is destroyed, the larger the Keynesian rebuilding project.

I heard Krugman has his eye on you - likes the way you think...."real potential" is what he said.

Congratulations on that new job offer from CNBC!
so true end, guarantee rebuilding jobs, long glass, long rubber bullets, long tear gas, long gas masks and filters.
won't this be fun when it hits the united socialist states of amerika!
Does this mean we'll be bombing Greece too?
The War for Peace is never over. All it would take is to attribute the chaos to "socialists" and 'Merkans will pledge allegiance to the forces of responsible order.
When do you think we are going to finally win that war on poverty?
I doubt it. The banksters already run the show there.
You can look at it like bombing..... we are protecting their freedoms
Is there a way to short rotator cuffs?
lol. relief hurlers should have been summoned in several innings ago.
i am sure they have some real flame-throwers for closers.

I think the Greek PM is going to be leaving real quickly via Helicopter just like the Argentinean and Ecuadorian PM's did!
And Afghanistan central bank prez too dont forget.

There is no chance these people are going to sit there and sacrifice to banking cartels simply because of captured politicians hold a vote that clearly does not have their interests at hand all the while not a single haircut is taken on senior bondholders. This nonsense is too transparent at this time thanks largely to independent media.
Over time they will become more organized, better equipped, formulate strategy and begin to arm themselves and the moment the first police office is killed the rest will simply say, "Fuck this.. I am not leaving my family fatherless so a bunch of bankers can remain solvent". I am sure 70% of these police officers know that they are next on the block of cuts.
