Oh good. The Punch and Judy puppet show (Greek edition) is on.

Methinks more Punches than Judys today.

Wow. Judy has certainly not aged well over the years. Whew!
I wish that baby had been left in a dumpster somewhere. Preferably with the body of the mother somewhere close by.
Those Cabbage Patch baby dolls sure are ugly, aren't they?

Prodding Greek politicians to "take their responsibilities," Van Rompuy said "the more unanimity there is, the more unity there is, the better for the people of Greece and our future."
Translation: An good ass fucking will engender a sense of civic virtue throughout the land.
And we promise reach-arounds for all!
"for everyone who is up early..."

So they tell me that all the Greek loans are absolutely guaranteed to be rolled over in perpetual motion - for ever and ever.
Something tells me any gambler with that backing is going to party hearty cause the tab is perpetual baby.
Fiscal nirvana malakas
The loans are a gift from graft and someones really got lose bowels if this doesn't go down. If the people revolt there is not a law or a union that can stand against the tide of ........ FUCK YOU Yes YOU -You thieving Rent Seeking Bastards
Blah blah blah, just another exercise in can kicking. Sound and fury signifying nothing. Yet watch how they use this bogus "resolution" to spike the markets today.
I hope the Greek protestors tear down the joint and that a few head up to Belgium to track down Van Rompuy and seriously jack his shit up with a tire tool. He's epitomizes Eurotrash politicians. ALL OF THEM need to be dealt with harshly. Ditto the sizeable American scumball contingent.
Or the fate of Greece awaits us all. It is simply a case of who is going to survive. Them, or Us.
Can kicking only works for so long. The road everyone keeps kicking the can down has a cliff at the end of it.
The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and tyrants.
Buying time. In fact, a perfectly controlled demolition would be making it so that all columns are dropped at the same time. Therefore, you cant have Greece buckling early.
Of course, my analogy does imply that there is some "design" to all of this. Rather, it might be better to suggest that this is all just "economic duct tape." And at some point, it will all let loose at once.
I wake up before ZH, cause I never sleep at all.
Yikes! A Skynet T-850 Series Cyborg!

Dom-eet...3 yeeaaahs off eh-lo-coootion lessons for nassing.
I hate to be a narcissist this early in the morning, but does this vote really matter now. What stops the government of Greece from going to a bank such as Paribas, or another European bank that is too highly leveraged in Greek debt and telling them, unless you give us a "favorable" loan, we will default, and take you down with us. It puts the Greek nation in favorable negotiations. If the banks don't give Greece what it wants, it defaults and gives the Greek political class a popularity boost due to they actually follow the will of the majority of the people (funny thought). However, what would be the more likely of scenarios would be that the bank would be scared shitless, and would give a loan at a more favorable rate compared to the ECB. This scenario seems too simple to not be discussed, so I'm guessing that I am missing a major point in this entire discussion. Can someone help me out please?
Well what you say is true if you assume Greece can repay a Loan (favorable or not.) But it can't - so no real Bank would touch them.
In fact they have a snowball chance in Hell.
Its like this - Greece is NOT getting a bail out -the Banks that are owed are being Bailed out
If you lend me $500 and I cannot pay you back, I have a problem. If you lend me $500 million and I cannot repay you, you have a problem.
At this point it feels like the only two options-at least presented- are corporate banking fascism or national fascism.
Steer clear of the latter Greek people and good luck in fighting the former.
Or the worst of all worlds the National Socialist Corporate Banking Workers Party. Sieg Heil Lloyd unt Jaimie.
Awaiting the 3,459th trumped-up non-event............
Once this passes watch the Euro sell off on the night of June 30th and throughout July 1 and July 4 while the U.S. markets are on vacation. I say this because once the deal to extend and pretend with Greece is done, Ireland and Portugal will demand the same and then the two monster headaches have to be dealt with:
Italy and Spain.
Shit is going down out there.
Wow Eu has so many heads and such few brains!
Austerity = no haircuts for senior bondholders. It's that simple. But I would really like to hear good reasons for no haircuts for senior bondholders. Why is this sacrosanct? As a matter of equity, they are supposed to do due diligence, they took the risk, etc, yet they refuse to pay one penny, shifting the entire onus onto the little guy, his children, and his grandchildren. Why? I'm having cognitive dissonance with this!
because bankers hold all the voting shares in government, and the public holds none
because bankers hold all the voting shares in government, and the public holds none
banksters and politicians in the life boat first..the people can catch the next life boat that never comes.
We could be going into an extened "era" of can kicking here, the perpetual can kick. If the banks are expected to roll the debt over voluntarily - well lets just say they might not be in the mood for doing one-sided favours, hence they might want a bit of back scratching in the form of reduced regulation, so the banks have a good hand to play here as well…at least the Europeans do.
It's very important for the TPTB that when kicking the can, everyone do it at the same time. Which except for Iceland, they are executing well.
They're using the NASA model......If you kick the can fast enough and far enough, it will go into orbit and not need to be dealt with again for years/decades/centuries/forever depending on how fast and far you kick it. Cue the nuclear boots.
It's only a matter of time before a 18-wheeler comes by and runs over the can.
Meanwhile outside parliament

Yeah this will end well. If the vote passes I give it three months before a total uprising
Optomist.
If and month? They wouldn't be voting if they did not know for a fact that it will pass. I wouldn't even give it three days.
Why are those demonstrators not using black spray paint cannisters as weapon against the riot police?
Lack of training and apathy.
You would think after all the practice they've had the Greek radicals would have learned how to riot more effectively than that.
They're marxists....they can't do anything effectively.
They can murder people by the millions once they assume power. That's how they deal with the welfare class they created that put them in power.
Well......there is that I suppose.
Go long cake! And vocational schools that train maids for upscale hotels. (pros don't provide the right romantic challenge for powerfull people)
In a union world, the working bee has to be told what to do.
The Greek people - and the world itself - desperately need a local army commander and a few troops to grab a couple tanks and head towards Syntagma Square and arrest the crooks, their collaborators and thiefs sitting inside Parliament.
We would all wake up in the morning to a new and better tomorrow...
Bankster's "ace in the hole" when all else fails, bring back "the Colonels". Nothing like an authoritarian regime to keep those goddamn trains running and those uppity helots in line.
whack that baby..
I will take "People Who Were Run Out of Office" for $1000, Alex.
How does a yes vote play out for commodities? A no vote?
JPM says they both fall regardless. Hey thats a lot like LaGarde....lagardeless. A triple negative.
Q up the Hugh Henry and Sachs debate: "all you need to be avble to do is roll the debt"
Yeah until you cannot afford to pay the interest let alone the principle (well every sov is already at that stage so its a moot point) At the rates Greece is rolling over it wont take years for a real default. The country is not going to be able to get close to the parametres set by the Germans. And then it will be Spain and Italys turn and the eventual splinterring of the Euro project.

Austerity means no water bubble machines.

The regime tries to evacuate the strategic place in front of the Parliament with the help of the hooded undercover provocateurs, who hide their faces.
This is exactly what the CONDORS did in Argentina. The Condors were FOREIGN undercover agents and paramilitants and foreign private armies, hired by the IMF.
In such cases the IMF uses foreigners because they DO NOT HAVE BONDS WITH THE COUNTRY, IT IS EASIER FOR THEM TO MURDER AND TO PLUNDER.
In Syntagma Square are operating foreign agents against the Greek demonstrators.
The regime RECRUITS them AMONG the foreigners living in Athens. This is the same scenery with the December riots, where 190 of the arrested were Kosovars, Tchetchenes, Albanians, Afghans etc, which used the opportunity under the hood to PLUNDER the shops in the Center of Athens.
The demonstrating greek citizens are carrying only white masks for the tear gasses and the glasses, but they do ΝΟΤ hide their faces. They do not wear HOODS.
So the Greek Indignados - Aganaktismenoi appeal to the demonstrators to paint the Hooded Provocateures when they see them - with coloured paint -
because their real role is to provoke the regime police to respond with tear gasses against the people and to force them to evacuate the Square.
Its war already so why are you guys still so civil, nothing will change with these BS protests.
Far better that you either go balls to the wall or just go completely black market.
Understand the difference between hooded criminals and citizens demonstrating.
Yesterday two demonstrants were stabbed with a knife by hooded and carried to the hospital.
The very first step is to ISOLATE anybody who wears hood among the demonstrators.
The hooded are armed, the civilians not. You find 80year old people among the demonstrators carrying only their white small gasmask, they even do not have money to buy a good protection.
Exactly my point.
As you said the hoods are openly armed and aggressive.
So why the hell do you Greeks tolerate it?
Its clear they mean you harm, stop sitting on the back foot and take the initiative.
this is the first time when the people in Greece realized en masse the role of the hooded and will take en masse measures to isolate them, and not only...
the "hooded" have been in demonstrations for a long time with exactly the same role, and that is one reason why the greeks have been tired and decouraged of demonstrating and of seing their cities destroyed by a bunch of hidden criminals
they are not more than 50 - 500 people every time
this pasok is a 30 year regime just like mubarak's and all hooded are recruited by this regime
they belong to it and their roots ARE VERY DEEP IN THE MECHANISMS OF THE SO CALLED STATE
(it's not a State anymore... )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkAOIIObkFw&feature=player_embedded
in this video is crystal clear that the people are demonstrators, greek citizens with open faces, not hooded undercover agents and foreign criminals hired from the regime to dissolve the demonstrations
The role of the hooded is to keep the place IN FRONT OF THE PARLIAMENT evacuated so that the demonstrators do not ATTACK THE PARLIAMENT.
That is the reason why the square under the stairs, which is "away" from the Parliament is always so crowded, but the Amalias Str. IN FRONT of the Parliament gets all the Police Attacks!
THE AMALIAS STR. IN FRONT OF THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING IS THE STRATEGIC SPOT!!!
You have to consider that the majority of the greek people have no experience until now, in organizing such things.
We're losing a war, and we don't even see it.
Agree with all out revolution, or go 100% black market. Fight or flee.
allenaki your country is fucked...hooders or no hooders...
You might want to start teaching your children how to use a rifle or a shotgun...at least your politicians might respect the people more...
they try to make the European Mexico... out of Greece if this is not stopped
The members of the Left Parties you just hear VOTE NO TO THE PROGRAMM and demand from the so called government to control THE HOODERS because they are criminal agent provocateurs against the innocent people who are demonstrating.
These scences must be VERY disconcerting for your typical fat-slob, drooling, dumb-as-donuts Boobus Americanus.
Oh dear! Can't these images just be censored?
Striking how fat the politicians are compared to how thin the protesters are.
What a poor, pathetic debate. The greek corrupt politics is sure the worst worldwide, side by side with north korea. Greek is a fallen state, no way out.
This whole thing is a crock of shit.
Greece is giving up and bending over to take it up the ass.
Very disappointing.
Seems that way - the 5k worth of Police should also be proud to be a part of this historic moment. Why don't they all get the "Blue Flu" and call in sick while this is going on?
Greeks are not. The puppets in charge of Greece are as they are being commanded to do of course by their handlers--the banksters.
Hmm, perhaps those mysterious HOODERS are Germans - he who pays for the show, runs the show.
yes, but not only,
Greece has open issues with the neighbourhood balcan countries -to the east..., to the west, to the north and everybody wants a piece of the cake now
these countries -except Turkey- have their citizens in Greece as working immigrants
and, last but not least, Turkey makes it easy for pakistanis, afghans, somalians etc to intrude the borders to Greece as illegal immigrants, with a falsed palestinian passport
the number of the illegal immigrants in the country (mostly albanian, tchetchenes, afroasian and northafrican) is 750.000 people, according to the police (nobody believes it, they are more, they are hiding the numbers)
only 150.000 illegal immigrants intruded Greece LAST YEAR !!! (according to the police, this is not the real number of course, the number is higher) from the borders of Turkey
the Dublin 2 treaty does NOT allow to Greece to open its borders to the West (Europe) so they are trapped in the country, with no work, hostile against the natives, and vulnerable to every manipulation from the regime
so the Oligarchs have no an additional army of cheap workers ready to substitute the expensiver greeks
the plan is very well organized
Hmmm the oligarchs in the U.S. seem to have the same plan. Do you guys also have a soft headed populace, we call them liberals, that
support the oligarch banksters and immivasion too?
The real question here is:
Just who exactly is responsible for allowing the debt picture to happen this way ?
This is akin to the TBTF banks betting the house with 30 to 1 leverage , which should have never been allowed.....
So the question is what should be the maximium margin allowed ?
Perhaps 10% ?
The whole mess hinges on this very issue.
It is about debt and margin ratios.
It is about debt and margin ratios.
-------
It's called fractional reserve banking, which is like deciding how much of a tumor you want left in the body.
I guess it can take some time for irony to play out. One group of 300 defends the country from invading armies, paying the ultimate sacrifice. Another group of 300 is about to throw open the gates welcome the invading army of financiers and get paid...
Edit: So, in the evolution of warfare, what we have learned is the battle of Thermopylae was unnecessary. If the Persians wanted to strip Greece bare today, they should of sent bankers.
That piece of shit Papandreou is speaking now. His lies are so outrageous that I want to personally shoot him in the head.
He's speaking but the problem is the Greek language.....it's take a week to say anything important...and by then....everyone has gone to bed.
Hey.....I'm just saying.
Why don't the Greeks just find out where the politicians have their private homes and attack them there ?
Should be much easier to attack them on their way to the parliament.
Make them pay dearly for their treason !
And while we are at it.
Hang the bankers from lamp posts.
In order to stop a car you need to put planks with nails protruding from one side onto the streets, spanning all lanes from left to right, so there is no way to circumvent it.
And then after the car has stopped, you have all the time to throw molotov cocktails from an ambush.
heh the Greeks know their business already

Let them pass the firesell of greece. I am sure the betrayed greek youth will take revenge on that bastards.
Anyone else find it funny and totally predictable that the S&P pre market is up significantly again on no news? The last two days had light volume which made manipulation easier...
I don't care what the market pricing says at the ETF level, going long miners is the only place you can go in equities. We'll have a crash before the indexes shoot skyward during inflation. Crash first, then inflation kicks the shit out of the consumer.
In order to make people inside the car to actually leave the car, you need a bottle of ammonia NH3 that you throw and break at the air intake of the car's ventilation.
It is hot and they will certainly have the air conditioner running.
The air intake is where the cooler is, right at the front below the hood.
Having designed/built industrial ammonia refrigiation systems (and dealt with start up nonsense) , NH3 attacks any moist spot on your body and makes it burn..... (think arm pits and crotch)!
Austerity is needed [b]anyhow[/b] because the Greek government cannot afford more debt, it's not even on offer at affordable rates. Austerity does not equate to no default.
And if I were the Greek youth, I would be rightly angry that the current 40 to 70-year old generation have f***ed me so badly, by paying no taxes for the last 20 years and simultaneously awarding themselves generous pensions (at my expense).
Goldbug,
The banksters and war merchants are in conflict with young and old, and with those aged in between. The institutions they head are destructive of the planet and its inhabitants.
Your attempted diversion would be amusing were not so many of the populace so illogically impressionable.
Astrology attempts to explain and predict human behavior based on sets of individual birth dates. The ‘generations’ theory popularized by J. Quinn and others similarly attempts to explain and predict human behavior based on misleading generalizations about sets of individual birth dates.
Divide and conquer is the traditional strategy. Promoting strife based on superficialities of age, race, sex, religion, etc. only serves TPTB.
What better way to promote that strife than to inequitably distribute crumbs of reward and appeal to the childish sentiment “How come Jonny got some and I didn’t”?
As though the bailouts, the wars, the political and financial arrangements have been decided by the common citizen.
As though the chief beneficiaries of systematic mayhem have not been a wealthy elite and the global corporations they head.
Austerity is needed anyhow because the Greek government cannot afford more debt, it's not even on offer at affordable rates. Austerity does not equate to no default.
And if I were the Greek youth, I would be rightly angry that the current 40 to 70-year old generation have f***ed me so badly, by paying no taxes for the last 20 years and simultaneously awarding themselves generous pensions (at my expense).
Thanks for all the protips.
This session of My Big Fat Greek Austerity/Save the EuroZone: Part Uno Vote in Parliament [to be followed up by soon to be released editions in Portugal, Spain and Italy, with re-worked and refreshed editions in Ireland and Britain) is brought to you by Athen's Chili's.
So remember, when you're hungry for ribs, and you've spent a long day voting for austerity/ducking Molotov Cocktails/Selling your constituents' lands out from under their feet or you've been protesting 'bailout plans'/throwing Molotov Cocktails/Hanging those selling your land out from under your feet - head to Athen's Chili's.
They evacuate the hotel King George now.
The place in front of the Parliament is now clear and evacuated from the citizens who could not bear the teargas. Old people and women are carried with ambulances away.
The hooded helped the police and succeded their goal.

What is the score.. in english please
They passed it.
Sell the news time?
Buy the R2K no matter the outcome. You can't possibly go wrong.
maybe they can ipo the company that does the live tracking, they can take the eyeball growthrate of past 2 weeks and be worth a few billion
Why are those that voted getting up and running out of the building?
They don't want to be lynched.
Heading for that tunnel.

PS Allenaki ,you speak like Papariga.stfu.

Throw the bitch away.
don't get confused...
Why are they always playing music? What's up with that?
Greece, where modern civilization was born. Now about to lead the wayto its decine and fall
Well said! Couldn't have put it better than that for perspective!
Can kicked -- again!
Calamity is certainty! Prepare for it!
The whole affair is analogous to the voting for TARP.
It was bound to pass, if not with the first vote, then with the re-vote, regardless of public opinion.
To imagine Greek politicians as being less corrupted than US politicians is quite a stretch.
the CNBS chick reporting from Greece took off her goggles after the vote passed? was that scripted?
The goggles were to protect her eyes from massive wads of Kleptojizm that rang out by the circle jerking central banksters upon hearing that their bagmen got the deed done.

Caruso-Cabera? That "serves-theGreeks-right" smirking bitch is a pain-in-the-ass. She's a damn facist. There isn't a bankster on earth she would'nt blow for free.
151 yes, not enough to survive for Pap.
eww did you guys see that bit where about 20 younger crowd members ducked under a tent to pick up face masks that had obviously been set aside? A least those brave men are going to fight. I wish they wern't all wearing shorts and t-shirts though. They need better equipment.
Tyler, thanks for the relavent links to the live vote feed and protest coverage!
it's gotten to the point MCC looks better in goggles and a gasmask.
What theatre. As the vote neared, she gradually progressed from first kinda sorta holding a gasmask up to her face now and then - to sporting some monstrous goggles - to wearing both at the same time and talking into them so you couldn't hear a word - to now, after the vote passed and supposedly the protest would be the stiffest, standing out there unprotected as if nothing ever occured in the first place. Miraculously the air must have cleared the exact instant with the passage of the vote.
As the stomach churns.
yeah, very soap opera-ish at that.
on an unrelated note, mcc has got me wondering if there are any gasmask-goggles porn clips out there anywhere.
in these trying times i guess it still all boils down to that.
All i am going to say is well NWO Anthem.............

Storm their mansions that they paid with stolen money and burn them down !!!
Let the fat-bellied politician pigs squeal in pain and agony !
All the rich Greeks live in Ekali, so please storm Ekali and mow it down !
Which US state will be the first to "go-Greek?"
California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey?
