Athens Riotcams Are Back - Live Webcasts
While we await the Greek parliament vote on yet further Troika-mandated austerity, which the government has promised to be the last such round of cuts, or at least the last one before Germany demands even more austerity for a country which is now, supposedly "too big" in Merkel's words, here is how the general population is preparing for the vote's outcome, which, if it passes, will be by a razor thin margin. Also, as a friendly reminder the May 6, 2010 flash crash occurred just as the video stream of the first Greek riot peaked...

Must be staged; I don't see the riot dog.
Long live Kanellos!
I love the smell of tear gas in the morning
If it's Washington or Colorado it can be weed:

The Greeks need to read Paul Krugman immediately! /sarc
Rather remarkable that Wall Street is currently suffering the impact of winter storm "Athena" as this break in mass psychology takes hold:

Bahaha! The police just teargassed themselves.. Wind direction fail.
Is it too late for the blue pill?
Those molotov's look mighty real to me
I'm surprised anyone can afford the gas...and all the people in NJ are screaming, "You fucking idiots!"
Eat your heart out, Vyacheslav!
For real:
This morning's CBS MarketWatch (radio)... reported stocks down some 333 points, S&P off 30, etc., etc., etc, everything getting slammed.... Because Of Europe!
And also noted that the usual safe haven of gold was likewise being punished, off $1. (Yes, one slim Yankee fiat greenback.)
Ah, the power of the propaganda and perceptions amangement machine
"I'm surprised anyone can afford the gas...and all the people in NJ are screaming, "You fucking idiots!""
And through the miracle of German tax dollars, pensions were paid, gas was bought, and Molotov coctails were filled. Out of gas? Must be time for the next aid tranche.....
At least one profession is thriving in Greece, riot police.
The police are their sole surviving tax base. Sort of.
I always figured Tony the Tiger as a facist.
Yeah that was so sad to watch.
the "Birthplace of Democracy" ...isn't it going well
Live pictures of happy smiley people sharing in the prosperity and harmony Govt brings
politicos having wrecked their country deciding wether to sign away what's left of the Greek trainwreck to the global bwankers extortion racket
so very touching
Stop Paying Tax ...or this is your country next, 100% guaranteed

Probably ended up in a Gyro by now... "Hey Barry, you want a bite of this?"
If you think this vote wil be any different from the other two that preceded it, you have not learned from the past two years. Prepare for a major gap up overnight.
So that's "the mother of all riots"? Saddam must still be alive and in the riot planning business.
They don't have money to feed the dogs anymore and the guy handling the K9 unit was caught doing naughty things.

Think any grunt can wrangle dogs? Nope, that's a specialization. Not expensive, but if you don't know what you are doing you can have your own dog eating your face.
Hail Ceasar. Let the games begin.
they are cold and can't afford heating oil I just read.. sales down 80%?
1 in 4 oil firms bankrupted/closed down http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite2_1_04/11/2012_468596
.
Doing a fine job of heating the asphalt with gas though. Oil firms going bankrupt? The government must be mandating they fill Molotov coctails at below market rates. Socialism triumphs again.
shit just got real..
There's still a whole lot more "real" out there. Just give it another 6 months.
Bend over Greece...
Due to the apparent shortage of lube we regret to inform you we are going in dry....love Merkel
This will all go a lot smoother if you just agree to stop eating and let your politicians keep buying submarines... Love Merkel and the banking overlords at GS
The Greeks (Who else were the masters of drama?) go through the Kabuki Theater (OK, so the Japanese do it well, too.) as to whether they're going to do anything at all to "qualify" for the next installment payout.Gotta love it.
Why bother?
If they pass it, the ECB/EU/whoever else including the US, indirectly will advance funds and the banks get paid. While the Greeks will do nothing different that they'd done before the vote.
On the other hand if they don't pass the whatever empty promise they're voting on and the ECB/EU/whoever else doesn't advance the funds, the banks don't get paid and then the ECB/EU/whoever else has to dump the money directly into the banks .... while having cratered the (whatever is left of the soft and squishy) illusion that all's well that doesn't die a slow painful death in front of one's eyes. And the Greeks don't do anything other than what they've been doing already. Oh I love a Charade ta da dah ta da dah dah ta da da dah

grexit is getting an ever ending story.
"grexit is getting an ever ending story."
The Germans haven't been sucked dry yet. They're still working it.
Moody and Fitch basically just said today that if the fiscal cliff doesn't happen, a downgrade will occur.
Why didn't they say that 2 days ago??
because they are part of the same corrupt/fascist system. DUH.
It was rhetorical. DUH.
my bad, hard to tell with all the sarcasm and satire on this site.
Downgrades and market volatility will now condition Americans toward whatever Act 2 of this little play will be about.
Election night was not the end of anything. We have at least two more years of this before the real players come onto the stage.
Why two years and what players?
We're not quite ready for actual "masters" yet. There needs to be some real pain in the streets -- some real fear of personal loss and death -- before people will be frightened enough to embrace with open relief what comes next. As for who it will be steps forward, hard to say but the playbook hasn't many moves in it. They will likely offer the illusions of public safety and financial security at the cost of all our remaining freedoms. And really, after that, the party will just be over.
Sounds to me like the party starts when that happens...
That depends on your definition of "party." I suspect there is going to be some version of an old fashioned necktie party. Whose neck is in the noose is the question.
Greece roiting? that's so 2011....and 2010......and 2009
i can't call it a riot coz in a real riot blood flows like a river and heads fly in the air.
Of coarse this will not get a mention on any mainstream european news channel. But slowly people are waking up and trying to get their capital and themselves to `relative safety`. Post Hollande `tax initiatives` - things are coming unglued in France too. Big exodus of well off / mobile people following their capital to London and Zurich. 6 months ago there were 400k french passport holders domiciled in London - I would bet it has risen at least 25% since then. Rents in London SW3, W8 & SW10 through the roof. Then we have the Brits who felt safe from UK taxation in Spain now scrambling to get domicile status in Switzerland to keep the Spanish tax collectors at bay who have woken up to the low hanging fruit that the German and UK ex pat communities represent. I think the capital flight that we saw from Greece and are seeing from Spain is going to spread fairly fast now that it is happening in france - if it reaches Germany then it will be game over for Mario D.
Rents through the roof. Try Sales W1 £1500 ft2 Sw1 £3000 ft2. NW1 £1000 ft2 Out central, you will be lucky to find a buyer!
The few dozen French renters I know in SW3 & 7 (where they like to congregate) are all on notice of rent rises of @15%. They tell me that they have to pay up / leave the area or move to a broom cupboard because more of their countrymen are arriving and seeking digs by the week. Perhaps its a very `local` thing in that area.
That area is strong for the French community. Those types of increses seem a little harsh but having said that people that bought last year to 'flip' are asking 100% over their purchase price. Its nuts!
Sounds like you need a French whore then...
Que?
FYP.

Jim O'Neill - head douche at Squid `asset management` was on BBC radio in the UK today.
He said that the markets would need a significant sell off to `help and incentivise the reaching of a compromise`. This is free money for the TBTF `flow` riders. Sell risk now, cover and get long prior to the compromise occouring. They will know when the timing is right - they will be told, obviously.
Thought you forgot. It will be long night og deep throat falitio.
This day with the right element can turn into a flash crash scenario
If the oligarches want one, sure. But if not then not a chance. They own the entire thing now, it does as it is told. I'm sure the only purpose to the down-market today is to disabuse the now-deeply-mind-fucked American electorate of any illusion that today is any different than 48 hours ago.
One can only hope.
Rioting,what rioting?Those Greeks will get a lesson in rioting from the good ole USofA.
Until DC burns I just cannot generate any interest...
Don't worry, until the EBT cards are cut off or don't work, there will be no interest.
Note to self - get EBT card. ;)
it's been too long damn it!
cue the riot dog!
I'm just a comedian actually...
"'It's been too long damn it!
cue the riot dog!"
He rioted until he got arthritis and died:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_dog
A dog can only take so much rioting.
Just few occasional Molotov cocktails and intermittent tear gas grenades.
Looks like the Greeks are getting tired of rioting.
"Looks like the Greeks are getting tired of rioting."
They're out of gas, so to speak.
Nothing to see here, just some greeks celebrating the US presidential event.
Is that what a fiscal cliff looks like?
If these people invested wisely like Warren Buffet, they wouldn't be rioting. You know, the guy is always preaching about the long term but just dumped 11.5 million shares of Intel just before they cut 3Q sales by $1 billion and dumped his consumer stocks just before the election? Silly Greeks, they just don't know how to talk their book and leave mom and pop holding the bag.
Hope and Change
No AK 47's? They fight like pussies.

The second webcam has lovely shots of swans, waterfalls, countryside, bistros. Must be their looking to boost tourism.
Lunch in the countryside with wine & Dinner in the city with molotov cocktails. Sounds like a great trip to me.

The Icelanders must just look at the Greeks and laugh.
Don't know if any here watched stream for more than a few moments. Someone has brought some pipe bombs to this little get together. 6 explosions in the 4 min I observed. Police backed right up as soon as bombs went off.
"And how many riot cam's do you need sir?" "I think 15 will do." "15 it is then." .... "That's right. 15 thousand riot cam's should do just fine. And i'll need some type of "megaplexal" so we can stay abreast of the goings on." ...."megaplaexals are on back order. We can have your 15,000 riot cams delivered by Friday if you like?" "Wow...delivered on site?" ... "We have an app for that too. And you're in luck today. Any order over 10'and you get free shipping!" "Excellent...cuz we need them in 15,000 different locations." "But of course!"
HOW DO YOU SAY BREAD HELMETS IN GREEK?
Let's Pray the cliff Away!
I wonder if the people in Greece know that CNBC blames them for all of America's woes?
Isn't there another location in that country they can go riot and throw shit?
It's always in front of the same stupid Chachesku-esque building.
it's actually filmed in west hollywood

Long tear gas.
The wonderful conjuntion of government-suppressed economic activity, and class-warfare rhetoric, means rioting may well be the social trend of the 21st century. Should make a new dance-craze computer game, this time witih simulated tear gas canisters you can throw back at the police/troops.
Greece is the shining example of what happens when Socialism runs out of other people's money. Coming soon to a town near you.
So they're rioting due to no jobs etc.. Where are they getting all the cash for gas in their fire bombs?
We sent over a truck full of EBT and obama phones.. Ya know !
It's gotten so bad in Athens that Riot Dog is reduced to eating the pigeons in the square.
Poor Riot Dog.
The Greeks are even lazy at rioting.
The Troika-mandated austerity passed with a majority of 3 votes!
Wanna read a joke? (Several, actually):
Approval of the cuts and tax rises worth 13.5bn euros ($17 billion) over two years was a big step for Greek efforts to secure the next instalment [sic] of its international rescue funds, and stave off imminent bankruptcy.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has said the country runs out of euros on November 16 without the funds.
"Today we took a big and decisive step towards growth," he said after the crucial vote.
The tough measures to be implemented by 2016, include raising the retirement age to 67, slashing benefits and cutting the minimum wage.
The close vote was a major political blow to the three-party coalition government, which holds a total of 176 seats in parliament. The result shows support for continued austerity three years into Greece's financial crisis is dwindling fast.
"The tough measures to be implemented by 2016, include raising the retirement age to 67, slashing benefits and cutting the minimum wage."
This may call for a major effort, or at least another riot and extension request, in December 2015.
