Over 6,000 Cops Will Protect Merkel On Her 6 Hour Visit To Athens
Angela Merkel is finally coming to the one country where the local media will not tire of photoshopping her in various Nazi outfits. The result: at least 6,000 policemen (and more like 7,000 according to Spiegel) will be deployed to protect her on her 6 hour visit to Greece on Tuesday, the first since the crisis erupted in 2009, and which has seen Greek unemployment explode from manageable to 25% at last check. Another result: parties from across the spectrum have said they will protest her visit, and strikes will further shut down what is already a completely shuttered economy. "She does not come to support Greece, which her policies have brought to the brink. She comes to save the corrupt, disgraced and servile political system," said Alexis Tsipras, who leads the opposition Syriza alliance. "We will give her the welcome she deserves."..."We don't want her here," said Yannis Georgiou, 72, who has seen his pension cut by one third. "We will take to the streets against austerity and against the government. Maybe Merkel will hear something and see what we're going through." Finally, with virtually the entire police force tasked with defending M erkel from the residents of her Southeastern European colony, it means that virtually every other place of interest will be left unguarded. Hopefully, nobody in Greece has seen Die Hard with a Vengeance and has access to dump trucks. The one thing Greece has going for it: there is virtually no official gold left anywhere that can be stolen (most of it already has been transferred elsewhere), or otherwise any tourist armed with a camera and located in the vicinity of the National Bank of Greece could film a sequel to what many consider the best Die Hard of all.
From Reuters:
About 6,000 policemen will be deployed in the capital for her 6-hour visit, turning the city centre into a no-go zone for protest marches planned by labour unions and opposition parties.
Merkel's visit is a sign of Germany's support for the coalition government of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras as it struggles to agree new budget cuts with international lenders, overcome the objections of reluctant coalition partners and cope with rising public anger.
After toying with the idea of a Greek exit from the euro zone in the first half of 2012, Merkel has come full circle and decided the risks of the country leaving are too high, especially with a German election looming next year.
The trip is a sign of German solidarity, a message to the Greek leadership and people that Berlin does not want to cut them loose, and a signal to the members of Merkel's coalition who want Greece out that it's not going to happen soon.
At the same time, the trip shows Merkel's trust in Samaras. Aides to the chancellor say they have been positively surprised by his commitment to reform. One reason for not visiting Greece before was frustration with progress under his predecessors, technocrat Lucas Papademos and Socialist George Papandreou.
The Greek government was ecstatic about the news, promising to treat Merkel with the honours befitting the leader of a great nation. Greek officials credited Samaras's charm offensive in Berlin in August for Germany's change of heart.
"Samaras showed a real will to change things. He stressed what Greece had to do, not what others had to do for Greece," a Greek government official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
Merkel is scheduled to meet Samaras, President Karolos Papoulias and representatives of Greek industry.
In a measure of tension between Athens and Berlin earlier this year, Papoulias accused Merkel's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble of insulting the country by likening Greece to a bottomless pit.
The locals are hardly as excited as their politicians, who, just like in the US, are merely doing all they can to perpetuate a status quo that afford them to retain their wealth. For now.
The tone was more subdued in the newspapers on Sunday. To Proto Thema ran a "HEIL" headline but most others called on Merkel to take a hard look at the suffering of Greek people during her visit.
"Tell Merkel the truth," wrote Nikos Hatzinikolaou in Real News. "With unemployment at 25 percent and recession at 7 percent, for a fifth year, can lenders expect the country to survive and pay back its debts?"
The visit gives Merkel a chance to get a first-hand view of a country that could have a major influence on her own re-election hopes.
Greece is stuck in tough negotiations with inspectors from the "troika" of the International Monetary Fund, European Commission and European Central Bank over a fresh wave of 11.5 billion euros in cuts for the next two years, a condition for getting an installment of the 130 billion euro bailout which is keeping the country afloat.
As difficult as these talks are, lenders are now realising Greece needs more time, money or both. The IMF wants official lenders such as Germany to take a "haircut" under which the value of the Greek debt they hold would be radically reduced. Private bondholders have already swallowed such a hit but EU partners prefer other measures than to suffer more losses.
In order to avoid going back to parliament to request a third rescue for Athens - a step Merkel allies acknowledge could be political suicide for her - Germany will probably have to agree to other concessions to plug a hole in Greece's finances.
These could include giving Samaras an extra two years to make painful cuts and agreeing to a reduction in the interest rates Athens pays on its EU loans.
These could... although an extension is just as likely to be political suicide as per recent German political rhetoric. The best Greece can hope for is that nothing happens until the US election in November, which should be feasible. Recently Greece said it has enough cash to last it for another 3 weeks. After that an already belligerent Troika will return and likely make it clear that just like in the case of Lehman, everyone is now quite well provisioned for a Greek departure from the Eurozone. The only question question then is whether the other countries will follow suit in Greece's footsteps. Ideally, the answer for the continent which has long ago run out of assets that can be pledged for new debt, is yes. Realistically, the tragicomedy will continue as long as the last euro can be transferred from the near annihilated middle class, to the offshore bank accounts of the wealthiest, and the bankers of course.

so that's an uptick in greek employment, courtesy of germany. see, it ain't so bad after all and maybe there's hope...
Hey Greeks: rob the fucking gold while she is there. It takes you, the Greeks, to protest against her neo-con monster politics. The Krauts are too weak and have no courage at all anymore.
6000 cops, 5999 of them on strike.
Last man standing says fuck this and crosses the picket line.
6000 cops on strike.
Better be sure those cops paychecks don't bounce.
you can be sure that the Praetorian Guard (Greece or US) will be the last ones in govt employ to get paychecks that don't bounce.

That may not be enough cops.
Here's to hoping they underestimated the requirement
Somebody put the Greeks down... What a pathetic people. How many bailouts do the good for nothing greeks require? I'm sick of the sh!t from those losers. Make them slaves Merkel show those fat and lazy SOB's what suffering really is.
I say boycott Greece for being the 1% of people who get continual bailouts and cry fowl when it's not enough!
You mean the bailouts that go directly to the banks?
These people are protesting over 55 y/o retirement, free healthcare, and free University while at the same time doing NOTHING!!!
I don't care what they are protesting about. All I care about is the money going to the fucking banksters, and those same bankers plus status quo politicians lying to the Greek people about their options.
I agree, so what's the beef with Merkel? If the Greek are mad at the Banksters, that's one thing but being mad at Germany for not giving the banks more money is a bit questionable. They should take their problems up with the banksters don'tcha think?
You mean the German people's tax dollars go to greek banks because the Greeks can't pay back their loans.
Why should the Germans need to pay this money?
Sab, "Why should the Germans need to pay this money?
To keep the music playing so the Euro doesn't totally collapse, sucking everything down with it.

"cry fowl"
The word is 'foul'

Talking about Greeks needing a bailout, an interesting side note from history - about 4 million Indians starved to death during World War II so Churchill could feed the Greeks:
"The last large-scale famine to take place in India was under British rule. Up to four million Bengalis starved to death in 1943 after Winston Churchill diverted food to well-fed British soldiers and countries such as Greece. "The starvation of anyway underfed Bengalis is less serious" than that of "sturdy Greeks", he argued. "I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion," he said to his Secretary of State for India, Leopold Amery."
http://arthurspeace.blogspot.com/2012/09/hague-is-wrong-we-must-own-up-to-our.html
Greeks wont go quitely, The financial nihilists have been slowly destroying every country, culture etc for decades but they are going to have a huge fight on their hands. Greeks are masters of guerilla war.
You are misconstruing my little side note from history (though 4 million starved to death in India is genocide and that was 10 times UK deaths in WW II) as wishing harm on Greeks.
I wish the average Greek well. Greek oligarchs have stolen 400 billion Euros and decamped to London - the favorite haunt of corrupt oligarchs. Greeks may want to bring their oligarchs to justice if they want to solve their crisis.
I am afraid that Greek oligarchs will get away with their crimes ( as is common in this world) and there will be civil war and a military government in Greece for decades.
Bad chronology. Greece 1940-'45 occupied by Italy/Germany. Germans stole most of the food, Italians made up for it by shipping in grain. Churchill's East India Terror Famine had nothing to do with Greece. Part of a scorched earth policy to keep the Japs from invading India after they drove the Brits out of Burma in '42. Some Indian sources give a death toll as high as 7 million...2X (real numbers) that other "holocaust" we hear about every 14 seconds.
Churchill may have hated Indians and may have wanted them dead but the British were supplying Greeks in 1943
"The Great Famine was a period of mass starvation in Axis-occupied Greece, during World War II (1941–1944). The local population suffered greatly during this period, while the Axis Powers initiated a policy of large scale plunder. Moreover, requisitions together with the Allied blockade of Greece, the ruined state of the country's infrastructure and the emergence of a powerful and well-connected black market, resulted in the Great Famine, with the mortality rate reaching a peak during the winter of 1941–1942.[3]The great suffering and the pressure of the Greek Diaspora eventually forced the British to partially lift the blockade, and from the summer of 1942, the International Red Cross was able to distribute supplies in sufficient quantities; however, the situation remained grim until the end of the occupation.[3]"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Greece)
And after the occupation they got the Greek Civil War when the commies tried to take over after Stalin had initally promised them power but later reneged after negotiating with Churchill and granting Greece to the western bloc.

Sabibaby -
And put yellow stars on them, and send them to camps, and put them in ovens?
Why not just ask them to pay their debts?
Since when is being a debtor ok? They'll be paying their debts back to the Jews, the Jews are not the ones with the debts here, they are the issuers of the debt.
And why should anyone pay their debts? Banks don't, Coroproations don't, Governments don't.
Ok so why should the people of Germany be forced to pay the debts of Greece?
If I were German, I would be pissed!
The Greek have the audacity to stop paying their debts and then get pissed because Germany won't pay it for them and give them a free ride!
Leave the Greeks out of this. It is Merkel/German politicians/ECB/Global Banking Cartel that the Germans are contending with. We in the glorious USSA are not even able to handle these types. How can we expect the Germans to handle it if we cannot?
What he said.
Germany is to Europe as the Federal Reserve is to America.
Why can't America just pay its debts?
Debt vortex, bitchez!
Greece should just leave all these umbrella organisations SOVEREIGNTY
The Germans are getting squeeze by the Greeks because the Greeks are portraying the Germans as Nazi's for not paying them money.
Isn't that blackmail?
You're doing a lot of crying over Germany

I'm amazed at the arrogance, racial prejudice, and lack of comprehension of the concept of "Moral Hazard".
Greeks should remodel themselves as antiglobalisation pitbulls
No. Just put the "fowl" in the ovens. Yum.
The stars would need to be Blue and White.
fuck off bitch Greeks dont want the system anymore banks bailouts interest its all BS no more slavery
you can never outpace a rigged market
Then why are they protesting and resisting its demise?
The ghost of Franz Ferdinand is compelled to relive his demise in a new host.
Are they Greek or German police?
If Greek, when was the last time they were paid?
What is the point of her visit? Incite further rioting?

To be honest, if a naked guy came rushing at me acting crazy, and I had a gun, I'd shoot him too. My first thought is bath salts, and perhaps I'd just try to run, but if I didn't think I'd get away without my face being eaten, I'd shoot.
The diffrence is, you aren't a trained police officer with pepper spray, a taser and a firearm. I conceal carry everyday and killing should always be a last resort when everything else has failed. The taxpayers pay these assholes to protect and serve (yea right), not to murder everyone that doesn't obey them.
Send them over so the Greeks can give it to them old style.
SEIG HEIL MERKEL !!!
She and the rest just have to go. To quote G. Edward Griffin from the documentary 'End of the Road: How money became worthless":
"You can't expect a ponzi schemer to change the system; they don't know how."
Does Merkel pay for her own safety ? Or will it be done by the greek taxpayer. In that case she better spend 6 hours in Sylt.
Reuters certainly belabors the point that this visit is a sign of Greece staying in the Eurozone. They even preempt the question 'so why didn't she visit before'. No, for my money this is coordination of a Greek exit which is sensitive enough to require a private tête-à-tête.
Statements Released jointly by the German and Greek Ministries of Culture;
bleiben die großen Dildo seinen Hintern
Perhaps we will get a Greek and German exit. After all, Germany could save Greece, and their vacation properties, but Germany cannot save the rest of Europe.
A successful revolutionary does not fight on the terms of his enemy.
Revolutionaries of Greece, ask yourself, where are these 6,000 coming from? What duties will be they be pulled from? One thing you can be assured of, the real perps are probably vacationing on your coastline already.
I hope they aren't Greek cops,
After all she is trying to cut their wages, reduce their pension, and raise their retirement age.
Wonder how many she brings.
So somehow she got talked into going for a visit to Greece. What a tool ! That way, the globalists will have their Archduke Franz Ferdinand moment, and get rid of two thorns in their side, Merkel and Greece.
Perfect. Some old Greek with a Spanish Mauser will be blamed, and all hell is going to break loose.
You heard it here first. I have a bad feeling about this.
Perhaps a Sadat moment while reviewing the Greek army. Dangerous play indeed.
It usually bothers me to see the armored riot cops beating the rubber necking tourist mobs. Someone would have to be a full blown 80 IQ asshole to do that job with such enthusiasm. That said the merkel special events protesters really need to taste some gas and the baton.
Question for Merkel. What the fuck do hope to accomplish with this visit.
Touring the tributary state sounds like a solid job creation method.
Should the overlord decide to visit the vassal on a weekly basis, Greece will break-even in no time.
Say what you will about Merkel, but she has some giant hairy balls or is completely disconnected from reality.
Merkel doesn't have to go to Greece - flying into a country where almost everyone wants you dead and where it takes 6000 cops to get you from point A to B and back again is questionable judgment at best. It not like having someone throw a shoe at your head.
She believes she is fully protected by the veneer of civilization. She has probably never been struck in the face.

Do you really want me to repost or will you just accept my apology in good faith? Your call. I suggest the latter option. You’re not a bad person, just confused.
i choose the latter, which of course only adds to my confusion........thanks

Get a room you two.
Merkel is a little heavy but she can't feed that many... Unless Christ came back to earth and did like one of those loaves and fishes miracles thingies or something...
The entire Greek police force is north of 50.000 people. So once again you write something without checking the facts.
Huh?
If there are only 50 ("50.000") on the whole force, where are these supposed 6000 coming from? Sounds like Bernanke math.

fuck that fat ugly bitch Merkel fuck em all hahaha GO GREECE
its sad because there have been people in Greece who have wanted to change the largely foreign rigged system for decades but keep getting knocked down by the parasites and world cleptocracy
Luckily for Angie the vast majority of Greek police are members of the Golden Dawn party
Greeks are rightfully lazy to work for superprofits of others but theyll be in high gear when the fighting starts :)
That last part would be contrary to modern history. They tend to take the French approach.
really Greeks have in every modern war as the first line of the imperialist system as a small nation they have always fought do you know your history im afraid this isnt getting any better but worse and the real violence hasnt started yet
hopefully they will stay out of any foreign wars created this time round by the oligarchs if there is war it will be civil war and directed at foreign interests and surrounding states
really Greece had the second most effective resistance only to Yugoslavia, fought Italy and Germany..on Crete alone the Germans lost 3000 men
they also fought the most succesful counterinsurgency during the Cold War...what they should be concerned about is foreign intervention like the one that forced them into WWI
She is going there to support a government that continues to lie to her and others about what they are doing? Why?
And Greeks should stop blaming others for their own corrupt ways. What they could take from Germans and other northern Europeans is the calvinistic self-analysis and self-critisism of these people. Why are the countries in Europe below the line Paris-Vienna fucked up? Because they are either catholic or orthodox countries.
Oh thats complete nonsense that this has anything to do with it its not a cultural issue. Nor is it a management issue. The US is the most fucked up country in the West and its largely protestant in origin. When you have an economy based on blackhole rigged finance theres no logic involved.
The US is fucked up because of Wallstreet, not because of the working ethic of the average American. I have been to many places around Europe and believe me, the most economically fucked up places are catholic ones. Although for sure many countries nowadays are secular and even atheist, the root of the countries lies in religion. Protestantism is based on repulsion of the corrupt ways of the catholic church.
in religion? has anyone ever even proved that thesis
i think youre using what they call a causal fallacy...has anyone proved that religion leads to economic prosperity as opposed to any other causal force one can construct

Single euro-zone budget gains momentum ahead of summit
Debate about the idea of creating a separate budget for euro zone countries is intensifying in the run up to an EU summit later this month, with less opposition to the proposal than many officials first expected, diplomats say.
At a private dinner held last week among the EU ambassadors of several northern European countries, including Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Finland, those present were surprised to find a fair degree of consensus on the proposal.
"I wouldn't say that there was strong support for it, but there was certainly a feeling that this is an idea that should be explored in more detail," said one diplomat briefed on the discussion that took place at the gathering.
They should just leave all the systems and make it irrelevant.

Inside Hitler's Greece: The Experience of Occupation, 1941-44.Drawing on eyewitness accounts and previously untapped archives, Mazower's notable study offers a detailed chronicle of the German occupation of Greece and the rise of the resistance movement. He traces the rapid growth of the National Liberation Front/People's Liberation Army after communist activists created an organization that harnessed the anti-Axis sentiment of the populace at large, and describes the bloody reprisal campaigns launched by the Wehrmacht against the guerrillas in the mountains. Mazower also presents a documented account of the fate of Greek Jewry between 1941 and 1944, the first of its kind in English. He covers the bitter fighting between British and Greek forces after the October 12, 1944, liberation of Athens and the internecine clashes that led to civil war. Finally, he reveals new details of the systematic oppression of the Greek Left after the liberation. As late as the 1960s, Greece's prisons were crowded with men and women whose only crime was to have fought against the Germans. Mazower teaches international relations and modern history at the University of Sussex in England. Photos.

The customs officer will ask about her "occupation?" and she will say "no, just visiting this time."
Best comment of the day!
I guess "The Troika", will be catching the tab, on this visit?
Let World War 3 begin.
Wonder if she'll beat the Brits to the sun loungers or not.
As usual, the Greeks are only willing to protest, complain and threaten. That's awfully bold of those opposition leaders who would, to a man, take the exact same course as the ruling coalition once in power. They're willing to do anything - except sack up and take their medicine.
On the other hand, I hear they're referring to this as her "Arch Duke Ferdinand" tour.
How much fiat currency will this cost? What a waste of resources! But let's just keep on pretending...
jobs, bitchez! without this visit, half of them would already be sacked.
