Papandreou Issues Pre-Recorded Announcement: Will Stay, Reshuffle Cabinet, Seek Vote Of Confidence; Long Weiner/Short G-Pap Pair Trade Started
From Bloomberg:
PAPANDREOU SAYS THAT HE WILL CONTINUE, RESHUFFLE CABINET, SEEK VOTE OF CONFIDENCE
He also says that he has been struggling to save the country and is attempting to reach a national consensus. More importantly, it appears he bluffed when saying he would leave, a decision likely halted as nobody wanted to pick up the live grenade of responsibility.
Kiss bailout #2 goodbye.
From Reuters:
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will form a new government on Thursday and seek a vote of confidence from his PASOK parliamentary group, he said in a televised address on Wednesday.
"I will continue on the same course. This is the road of duty, together with PASOK's parliamentary group, its members, and the Greek people," Papandreou said on state television.
"Tomorrow I will form a new government, and then I will ask for a vote of confidence."
What we are confused by is, in order to properly delta hedge a G-Pap/Weiner resignation odds pair trade, whether Weiner should be long or short.
In other rumors, it is speculated that G-Pap is about to tweet a pic of his package and take an indefinite leave of absence.

So nothing changes and they're pissung off the angry mob even more. Grab the popcorn this is gonna be fun to watch.
The "angry mob" you are talking about Mr. Gandhi, are hired agent provocateurs (one of them was arrested today, coming from a foreign country) and some molotov bearing young people who like rioting like this.
These DO NOT represent the Majority of the Greek people.
For 21 days now the Aganaktismenoi Greek Citizens demonstrate in Syntagma Sq. PEACEFULLY, as you can see in all videos, with their families.
But today, this regime used other methods to PROVOKE this Epic Movement for National Independence.
Greece under Mr. Gpap is nomore a Free Country.
OH right...30,000 protesters are all 'agent provocateurs'...uh huh.
SD...where ya been all day? Not munchin' on that shiny Nebraska corn again, I hope.
Ive been around all day!
Oh - I must be following different threads.

Exactly. 30.000 protesters for 21 days protesting peacefully, are not agent provocateurs.
But 100 HOODED agent provocateurs plus 1000 or 2000 young dynamic leftists rioting with molotovs are able enough to provoke the whole thing.
It's not their fault, but the mixing with the provocateurs is inevitable under such conditions.
Watch the video below carefully. And the other fotos and videos. It's official, the police and all parties admitted it.
Identity cards of undercover secret agents were found also on the ground.
Last year during the first big demonstration against IMF in May 2010, molotov bombs were thrown into a bank and 4 bank employees were trapped and have died from the smoke.
Nobody knows who did it, some HOODIED guys suddenly came out of the lines of the demonstrants, and threw the bombs.
Were they silly young leftists, were they provocateurs? ...
Then, the government was able to pass all the austerity measures... Who knows who did it?
After this tragedy, nobody demonstrated, all Greek people kept silent, and now this movement flourishes.
Today the citizens managed to ISOLATE these provocateurs and in the afternoon Syntagma Sq. has calmed (not molotovs and tear gas).
G-Pap is a traitor to Greece and its people. Greece is just his vehicle to enrich himself.
His best friends are the City of London Jewish banksters (Rothschild, Oppenheimer, Warburg, and Schiff families) and Israeli Zionists.
Please don't forget he is a president of the Socialist International fraud cartel.
Not that I advocate violence, but you do realize they don't give a shit about "peaceful protesters", right?
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable. ", JFK.
I am still waiting for the 'tanks in the streets' moment like Paulson threatened would come if we didn't gift the banks tax payer money.
Agreed. The majority of the protesters are peaceful. Few elements are acting up, the usual suspects. But there are paid agent provocateurs in there.
Imagine a large investment group (Soros) shorting the Euro and paying a few clowns to throw rocks and molotovs into the police.
Profitable as can be.
Bottom line is that Greece is overleveraged and underfunded, undercapitalized. Deep cuts are necessary to survive. Take the medicine now and remain a first world country or delay the inevitable and wake up as Albania #2.
I understand Greek frustration, I really do. But I don't side with the Greek that are operating their business and withholding taxes, then expecting their people to be able to retire at 49.
It's absurd to think this can work and it doesn't matter how big the bailout package would be.
Greece needs to wake up to reality before it wakes up to be Albania.

If the politicians give in to the banksters, and cede 1 centimeter of Greek soil to ECB, EU, World Bank, IMF or any other entity that isn't truly the embodiment of the actual Greek People, let those 30,000 Greeks become 3,000,000, and wrestle those GREEK ASSETS back, by force if need be.
Hell, III% of Greeks are all that's needed, given true dedication, to repel the bankster vampires.
300 Redux.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!
Then we shall default in the shade.
THIS IS SPARTA!
Ruins, ruins everywhere.
Maybe you're too close to it. But where I come from, you can't just take, take, take.
That's why Greece is bankrupt. Everyone just takes, nobody gives.
Do the Greeks want to debt slaves for the rest if existence? Do they want austerity? Should they keep the same losers in charge who keep failing them?
If things pass as the politicians want, ALL of Greece suffers. It's ugly...
was it recorded in the tunnel?
the undisclosed location is the next step
ooh ooh. I bet we find Cheney there too!!
No Cheney, but Hoffa under the tunnel.

His party fellows and the trade union leaders - WHICH ARE ALL PASOK- drag him.
He remains ANCHORED in the bleeding body of Greece.

No Fly Zone Over Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant Due to “HazardsThe Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Power Plant until further notice due to “Hazards”. This would normally be a precautionary measure after an electrical fire disabled cooling for the spent fuel rod pool as outlined below. The question is why is this still in effect?
As reported previously, this facility is surrounded by sand bags as the Missouri River rises.
David DeGerolamo
Electrical Fire Knocks Out Spent Fuel Cooling at Nebraska Nuclear PlantA fire in an electrical switch room on Tuesday briefly knocked out cooling for a pool holding spent nuclear fuel at the Fort Calhoun nuclear plant outside Omaha, Neb., plant officials said.
The safety of deep pools used to store used radioactive fuel at nuclear plants has been an issue since the accident at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant in March. If the cooling water a pool is lost, the used nuclear fuel could catch fire and release radiation.

Y'ever seen them thar balloon animals? That's what yer corn gonna look like this season...
Shit !
I predicted this to happen some 3 weeks ago when George Washington wrote about it.
A flooding is the most serious natural disaster that a nuclear power plant can be affected with.
And conveniently, all nuclear power plants have to be built next to a river for cooling.
Man, clusterflock of black swans ahead.
1.Are the diesel generators working ?
2. 24 / 7 for as long as it takes ?
3. Are there enough spare parts and enough fuel in case the generators break or they run out of fuel ?
Why is all this sshit happening at the same time in one fuclking year ?
I don't get it.
Is this orchestrated, or what ?

True, a -2XX day would be soooo... unfair given al the cheap stocks that the DJIA consists of...
Greece taking the MENA dictator path.
Stealth referendum.
Way out for the weasels.
Default.
I believe Weiner could take the helm..
Perhaps he should check into a rehab clinic...
The people love him, he is smart for holding onto power.
Bring these criminal politicians to justice-- they are responsible for paying off the debt that has plagued the economy of Greece and they are responsible for enacting and continuing to enact policies from a dictatorship rule: ECB/IMF/EU that seek only to benefit the financial systemand crony capitalists and harm the prospects and livelihood of Greeks and europeans as a whole.
Their hubris have blinded them to the fact that the people will not take it anymore and are willing to stand up to the genocidal maniacs that are the current officials in power.
The system must be taken down otherwise slavery will reign supreme.
Yawn.
You can't have freedom in socialism w/o a strong currency and banks to support it.
Next station COMMUNISM with Ouzo for Drachmas. All Greeks please disembark the train.
The opposite, Tyler.
If he stays, bailout #2 is ON.
the banker clan won't let him leave until he rams through austerity... what a classic. then they throw him to the angry mob, his mission accomplished.
Dont know about that. Unless he has cut a backroom deal for nice place to relocate, then in knowing he is screwed he becomes a wildcard.
Yeah, this whole thing could be more misdirection for sure. Cant rule it out at all. Western nation central bank hot potato game.
not so sure about that...i can see Tyler's point...
1. Default occurs.
2. Banking sector implodes concurrent with rising credit spread metrics, unleashing a liquidty crisis wrapped in an insolvency burrito.
3. ECB becomes insolvent given all the Greek paper they own.
4. Other countries begin to fail.
5. Bernanke cranks up the digital printing press, and the Central banker of the world swoops in and saves the muthah fucking day.
6. We are all saved, and can continue watching Deadliest Catch, while drinking beer.
correction... insolvency pita.
"a liquidty crisis wrapped in an insolvency burrito"

7.G. Pap resigns, hooks up with other G. Pap who resigned (Goldman employee of the friggin century G.Pap), and make epic film "Two G.Paps and one cup". Analysts say film is not good for long weiner play.
I'm sorry, forming a new government and proceeding with a vote of confidence does what for your fiscal situation again? Lawls.
Yea exactly...WTF is any of that supposed to solve? Theyll vote confidently about what?
Perhaps they're drawing lots on who gets to be the first group to use the escape tunnel...
Confidence!
That's all we ever needed according to the pumpers. Not silly things like organic growth and sound economic management.
The Pandora selloff: figures it would be another Greek bearing gifts
The referendum should give Greek Voters the option to try for sedition any Greek Politician who in any way, shape or form allows Greek soil, property, sovereign assets, or any other part of Greece to be pledged or given in exchange for any allegedly needed "bailout," "loan," "rescue package," or other bullshit.
Sedition is punished by execution.
Start that precedent now, Greeks.
+1
Agreed -- but I wouldn't hold your breath too long Truth. ;)
Ancient Greek legislation process:
"Anyone wishing to propose a new law had to do so while standing on a public platform with a rope around their neck. If the law was passed, the rope was removed. If the law was voted down, the platform was removed."
Irish take note, this is what you should have done you docile p***ies. That is all.
Im very disappointed in the previously scrappy Irish.
Timid tame dovish Irish.
What's the problem? Just print more euros!
Fuck bloomberg already! Can you please source yourself instead of feeding off the wire!?
Sure... as soon you pay us the $2000/month it costs to pay for the thousands of journalists that Bloomberg has on staff.
lol! TKO.
The info is everywhere. You just have to find it.
If can sometime, really sometimes even be found on CNBC

I like the pre recorded part. An olympian in the halls of parliament raises their voice and cries, Mr. PapSchmeer, paging Mr. Papschmeer, urgent call for you....
Pappy's out of town. Until he knows if he will survive the "no constraint on bloodsuckers" vote his pimp told him to schedule.

No shit, the PPT makes Luongo look like nothin.
I walked through the riots a couple of times today. 3 things i noticed:
1. the people are monumentally pissed off for a myriad of reasons and have enough. this is only th beginning i feel with the vote on the actual Mid Term package on 28 June looming very large now
2. although people don't understand the intricacies of the situation & are essentially sheeple trust in politicians has gone negative & they won't be able to bullshit their way out of this. the place is a tinder box right now
3. tear gas is a mutha fucka, stings like fuck when a cloud of it hits you..
People who are threatened with having their farms, homes, businesses and the future of their families and children pledged as mere "collateral" to bankster parasites grow immune to teargas and even stronger chemical agents.
There are some things on God's earth sovereign people find worth fighting for.
I been tear gassed tons of times, no big deal. And now is a good time to buy that gas mask.
Good for smoke too, just in case the zombies try to burn you out.
"although people don't understand the intricacies of the situation"
That's the problem to begin with. Greeks operating business, not paying their taxes and expecting the government to pour out money forever.
You know it's true. Greeks operate on cash, hoarding cash, not paying taxes and retire at 49.
Good luck with that. Good luck trying to find another sucker that's going to finance your blue sky deal going forward.
Greeks pissed off about every serious investor by now. Nobody wants the paper, nobody wants anything unless it is tangible.
Don't blame central banks, the EU, your politicians or anyone else.
BLAME YOUR FUCKING SELF FOR MESSING IT UP.
GREEK IDIOTS.
Well, if they have not resigned, the PPT should be finishing their sushi lunch now and ramp us up a bit.
And am sure Tyler will mention, (unless I missed it already), Pandora, ramped to 26, got every sheeple in and now.....17.70. They never learn, never.
Default has already happened and continues to happen disguised under different forms of 'stimulus' and QE's. It's just an illusion from keeping the market from panicking all the while the insiders or top of the pyramid types get to cash out at full value while the rest of the world burns.
Some resignations are voluntary others... not so much
In other related news, Obama calls the Fed and asks, "what is going on, as you know I have no clue about finances or economic stuff as I only studied one business class in high school, oh thats ok Barry, we're are fucked but I think we can pool the wool over the eyes of the US sheep until re elction date, ahhh thats good Ben, feel free to order more Hewlett Packard printers, but Barry you know we dont actually print money, ahhh ok Ben, I am off to play golf, text me if anything else serious happens, dont call as it affects my swing"
Until re-election? In 16 months? Totaly impossible, the wool is already off the eyes of anyone with half a brain and its all re-imploding. Some little bundle of printed up funny money is like a squirt gun on an AZ wildfire.
Drudge says he's only finger pointing at half a crowd these days...
I saw Obama getting heckled at some speech the other day....he was saying 'Hol up! Hol up'! over and over it was funny. Im surprised he didnt yell 'Sit yo monkey ass DOWN up in here'!
NerObama doesn't care, just as none of his predecessors have who've held his puppet post before him.
They all make their deal with the devil, and they and their families get a financial & security VIP Pass for Life in exchange for doing the bidding of those whom they really work for.
The AMAZING thing is the "first in business" CNBC news never bothered to carry this story live (even as they talk about Greece and the Euro all day) even as CNN-I carried it live, and Bloomberg replayed it a few minutes later. (The market wend down about 50 pts - clearly what had been proposed, was not going to pass with the current govt.)
No doubt, the brilliant people at CNBC will read the WSJournal tomorrow, and tell us all about it!
CNBS not covering the bad market news? No WAY!
Just another reason CNBC has little to no credibility.
Not a single comment on "Long Weiner / Short G-Pap"? Everyone gone highbrow today?
Long Weiner resignation contracts here. Market is 68/69 on intrade.
Bam Bam and Turbo Timmeh will end up writing a check to Greece
*cue Beavis voice*
Heh, heh, you wrote Long Weiner...
PPT now scamming back 50+ points to the DOW for close...what a joke.
It's looking to be a truly underwhelming attempt/stab/desperate clutch of an attemped save - aka flacid, impotent & drunken no-boner.
I believe this morning I saw some headline on Bloomberg that Greek bankers where fleeing the cities. If that's true I wonder how long the citizens will be able to get some cash out of the ATM's.
If not then things will get really really really nasty.
ATM are for days of calm.
When the SHTF you just get what you want out of the teller drawer.
Using an axe.
G-Pap thought it was time to flush the toilet because of the stink and new times coming forgetting that the toilet was blocked times ago. Get a shoe polish but probably all shoe polishers are demonstrating in a square in Athens right now

One wonders if Obama is patriotic enough to offer his resignation if the only alternative is a a catastrophic default come August?
Interesting times, no?
What drugs are you on? Obozo hates this country, and for him, a catastrophic default would be considered his signal achievement.
Good News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie Sheen said he,"is willing to negotiate" and help Greece out.
I can't understand why "The People" don't want to take Fat Cuts so the Bankers can dance and dine at The Ritz?
My vote is Long Charlie/Short Weiner.
there is no alternative than default or restructioring. Restructioring can have effect if big money takes losses but the last years show that is not an option. It's about evolution and addition of the "R"
What we are confused by is, in order to properly delta hedge a G-Pap/Weiner resignation odds pair trade, whether Weiner should be long or short.
i think weiner will out-last g-pap, even tho he will surely be subjected to a much more brutal pounding...
i guess i'm just not comfortable going long weiner, here. in greece, we see the "muddling thru" strategy in the final throes of its exhaustive pretensions @ extension. at this point, i honestly think weiner has the staying power, BiCheZ...
After all, he is one of TVBP*.
* The Very Best People
TVBP includes include Families, Dynasties, Nobility, Direct Descendants of God, et al ilk, whose entire reason-for-being is acquisition of privilege.
It is easy to understand the intentions of Greek political parties,including K.K.E. communists party,by the fact that they all agree not to give the people a voice via a referendum which would be the most democratical thing to do.It is of course of little surprise that even communists here in Greece are in favour of the Eurozone.Perhaps it reminds them of the good old soviet days,after all it is the E.U.S.S.R
Eurobankers called Pap and told him to stall. They're waiting for Bernankeopolous to deliver the next round of Eurotopia$
Small world.
Loved this headline..belongs in the ZH Hall of Fame... top notch.
