Greek Austerity Vote Passes
Just in case someone thought Greece would voluntarily vote to cut out the funding - any funding - of free money from the ECB, via ELA or otherwise, regardless if only 10% of said money actually makes it into Greek society, we have some bad news: the Greek parliament once again voted to impose austerity upon itself. This includes numerous Yay votes by deputes who had said previously they would vote against the measure.
- SAMARAS HAS VOTES FOR GREEK AUSTERITY BILL
- FINAL VOTE: 153 FOR, 128 AGAINST, 18 ABSTAIN
- PASOK EXPEL 6 MEMBERS; ND EXPELS 1 MEMBER FOR VOTING AGAINST PARTY LINE
And yes, this time will certainly be different unlike all those other times. Or maybe not. In the meantime, the rioting, and daily strikes by everyone, most certainly the tax collectors, will continue indefinitely, until even more spending has to be cut to match the decline in revenues, and so on, until finally the singularity of no more revenues and no more spending is hit.
Until then, the main resurgent sponsor of any business venture will be, as reported earlier, local brothels.
Now the ball is back in Germany's, and Troika's, court to come up with further conditions to not disburse the €31.5 billion in addition aid, which judging by the EURUSD's exuberant response (+2 pips), will be quite copious.
Finally, for those confused about the Greek mindset, here is the only explanation you need:

Bullish on molotov cocktails, and riot cams.
The comatose market reaction to this positive vote should be extremely troubling
This also tested positive for Hepatitis and Clamidia
Take it baby! Take it! ... Oh yeah!

So, what is wrong with a brothel sponsor, pray tell? Private enterprise filling an existing need in an honest manner at fair, competitive prices.
Imagine a Greek public sector brothel. Fill out three forms, pay four different fees at three cashier windows, find out the booby blonde and the leggy brunette are on strike, wait for an hour for a crew-cut shortie who reads National Enquirer for the duration, and 10 minutes into the act asks you to hurry up, it's time for her 2-hour lunch break.
sounds like you've done this sort of thing before and know what to expect
speaking strictly to the part about lazy bureaucracy in countries like Greece of course
Of course! The brothel is a grand metaphor, although I dare say not at all an inappropriate one.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is controlled by two types of Democrats, Socialist and Communist.
What a fucking cesspool this country has become.
You're leaving out the two types of Republicons:
a. Christian conservative wackos, and
b. War-mongering, fascist thugs.
I'm no fan of the Decepticrats either.
I can't comment on my favorite Youtube video at Youtube, because my Michaelwiseguy account with 500 subscribers and over 1 million channel views was terminated by the establishment last week.
Same old, same old. Too many rinse and repeat cycles. It's not fixing the problems. The announcements don't work anymore.
The riot cams should prove very telling tomorrow. And we all know how much the Roach Motel [SPY] likes rioting in the street of Europe.
Unless this is just some baseless Deja Vu I'm experiencing. Nope...Flash Crash, baby.
Cdad wink"_"wink
Nope, it's not Deja Vu...
Yes!!!! Now, here comes the mother of all riots! Or was it the riot of all mothers?
Yes, it continues until the mob burns down Athens or something like that.
the mob burning down Athens isn't the problem, it's the Govt burning down the country
the politicians always do much more damage than the far more sensible and sane public, even a mob has better motives than the politicians who wreck country after country mindlessly driven by greed or ego
as people go, mobs are alright
All this is just delaying the inevitable:

One of these times now it will be different.
Greece is like this.
1. People stop paying tax, by trading in the underground economy or
bartering or just not earning much.
2. Government tries other methods to get money (like taxing through
electricity use)
3. People stop paying their utility bills.
4. Government has to borrow money to meet its shortfall. (charges it to
taxpayers of course)
5. No one will lend money to the Government as clearly the country is
broke.
6. Money is eventually printed to cover the shortfall.
Real Value will never be repaid to Government creditors therefore the
creditors have effectively "Given" most of their money to the
taxpayers through the conduit of Government Handouts.
Therefore in a way it could be argued that in a Sovereign Default
scenario low income Taxpayers have effectively netted out as not having
paid much tax!
(A backdoor 21st Century tax revolt if you like)
All roads thus lead to currency destruction and thus destruction of the
very systems that rely on currency debasement and usury to enrich them.
Just how much can be plundered from the people before the reset occurs
(indirectly of course as it is sovereign assets that are at
stake) depends on how long a country can be coerced into continuing
the game of monopoly even though it is clearly going to "lose the farm"
if it continues to play.
So in this "modern day tax revolt" game, the Countries infrastructure
gets quietly sold off to TPTB, while the sheeple get to play a fun game
of chicken with the Government's Creditors.
Now the question arises. Can the sheeple be enslaved by the next stage
of the system (Full control of the economic machinery in private
hands). As easily as they were in the last?
The one thing really needed by the sheeple is knowledge
of how the game (really) works.
But ignore all the above because the "Official message" is this.
Just relax, do as we say, keep borrowing, and enjoy life little sheep, this wont hurt a bit...
Isn't that what happened in Argentina, roughly?
I dont know if this recipie has a name or not, but yes it was the same in Argentina,
more or less...
Agree in principle but one comment:
Greece can't print and ECB printing doesn't count as it comes with too many strings attached to give the same effects as you describe.
Greece is plain and simple bleeding dry.
We shall see...

Because he's a scumbag and will say and do any scumbag thing to get reelected.
Just like the other scumbag that didn't get elected.

Greece, where men are men and sheep are scared
no the lambs stay silent its the cows that sing, remember europa was a sacred cow, she got laid by Zeus. And now we have Mutti!
forgive the repetition but did you know greeks invented sex, then Romans brought women into it
Good luck enforcing it! Long " molotov cocktails"...
The only thing different is the date, and I'm getting too old for this shit.
Maybe they should model their economy on the brothel. Sounds like business is booming. They are making money and every customer gets a having a Happy Ending too!
Govt and their bwanker buddies sole purpose is to screw people
Brothels have a much more human relationship with their customers
Legalise brothels and make Govt illegal, a much saner policy for society all-round
Coming to every European nation, the U.S., Australia & Canada, too. I can't forget Japan or Korea, either.
I'm being sarcastic or "doomy?"
It's already begun in all of the countries I've mentioned. Every single one of them is ramping up their fiat supply (regardless as to whether they're cutting, lowering or not tampering with interest rates), in an effort to provide a buffer for their zombie banking and financial sectors, along with other 'favored' industries & companies, depending on the country in question.
The result is forced deleveraging of the consumers, savers and businesses not on the government teat, which crimps consumption, hiring and investment, while the government sector and quasi-governmental companies/contractors use that deleveraged capital for the grand plans of those who really have Deeply Captured the governments.
THAT is "beautiful deleveraging" to a Too-Big-To-Fail, BFF of a fractional reserve central bank or other CronyCapitalist.
No violence no change. That is fairly obvious now. Until the greek masses rise up and violently overthrow the tools making the laws that steal what little they have left...nothing will change
Sadly, it appears so. But that's the only way to attain legitimacy in the people's claims - some have to lose their lives, there must be blood.
Russell Means, the Native American activist who just passed away, said, "Sometimes there has to be violence to force the white man to listen."
Considering the source, it's convincing - only it usually gets you a bullet in the head or a flight on a doomed small plane.
Uprising will come in the next few months...
I have to remind you that Greeks regularly riot for the flimsiest of excuses i.e referee mishaps in football..
The jug is full...the result in Parliament last night is a good indicator....
Actually the deus ex machina could be events in Parliament rather than the streets.
They are still counting the votes in Florida - Them Greeks are fast!
Across the 51 "states" the average is that only 91% of precincts totals have been released yet. Americans are slow.
Ah, it's only their parliment - some 300 mostly corrupt souls, so the counted 153 hands and were done...
A Greek politician will get assassinated, blown up or dismembered.
You have to seriously wonder exactly what is going through the minds of the Politicians who voted yes. I mean they are fucking over their own people, at a more than marginal risk to their and their families lives. They all can't be sociopaths or clueless idiots, can they?
My guess is they're busy trying to figure out which side will kill them first. Those abstentions are likely from the ones who don't think the vote was survivable either way.
what do you expect from socialists, communists and people who will vote for tax rate rise in the land of tax evasion? Manual pony express, so to speak tax collectors trying to collect taxes from 25% unemployment? The Greek church is protected, the shipping community is protected everyone else is screwed for the grand Euro project. aint it swell?
I know. While European (and Wall Street) banks that have plundered Greece have gotten off scot free
save the banks burn the people, the greek polka remains the same cynical game.
Wouldn't it be fun if it exploded in Mutti's face?
What a divine surprise and what a bankers slide!
Let the greeks lay a trojan horse on the Germans and we'll all sing Seig heil, arrivaderci roma !
Well the rioters went home before the vote..had to work or something....but 13.5 billion in cuts that will never be put into effect..wink wink.....for over 40 billion in free money that will filter into some well connected politicians hands or offshore accounts....good deal.....this really is just to funny...200% debt to GDP...no commodities to sell...11 million people...thieves at that...they got nothing really...
With this vote all I see is Greek politicians lining up to give a Rothechild's a blow job.
another bullish 400 point day tomorrow no doubt- bend over bears and grizzlies
I bet Europe drops a bit more tonight......nothing good to buy into there...
Anyone see the Riot Dog?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
This is great.
A junkie promising the moon and sky for that next fix.
Nothing more then that.
The one difference being Greece won't die from an overdose of free money.
just to make clear the funny/fat guy in the Vid above is a Greek politcian, not a Greek citizen
it has not even been 24 hours

I wonder when and which ZH contributor/commenter will be the first to do time (related to a post or comment that is)
More importantly when will ZH be taken down by the authorities, don't think that is out of the realm of possibility
Perhaps 'they' prefer to keep this place in operation as a honeypot?
Then again, until ZH upgrades the servers to handle traffic from Drudge, maybe they aren't too worried about Tylers' impact?
agree on the honeypot thing never liked the email registration thing, it would be interesting to know if our IPs are logged by ZH
either way unless you are using a tiny isp you're being monitored anyway and I am sure zh has a self destruct sequence on the servers against that fateful day
PS ZH is probably in the top 1000 sites globally and worth a gazillion dollars
FINAL VOTE: 153 FOR, 128 AGAINST, 18 ABSTAIN {and 7 assassinated}
153-128=25 25-18 abstain=7 dead Kennedys
As the banker elites point out, "Greece is experiencing problems due to not 'privitizing' fast enough."
Nice to lend what you DON'T have and receive payments. Bad lending decisions (or no decision at all) and therefore lack of said payments, only means firesale prices of real assets using money you never needed to come up with to cancel payments you lent into existance. Wonder how much Yosemite or Yellowstone will bring.... ?
This whole fucking picture is ludicrous3
At some point, rioters may get lucky and put someone's head on a pike that absolutely deserves it. Best hunting will be upcoming G-x meetings.
Most rioters (well, activists, at least) only know to focus their rage upon the lowly puppets.
I know.... and it's depressing ;)
Aren't there any insiders anywhere that can blow this crap WIDE OPEN? Greg Smith's book sounds interesting, but I mean w i d e O P E N conspiracy, theft, murder, and corruption! Riotous and Rebellious fodder.
'They' really have things down pat. By the time the JFK file is opened, Bush Sr. will be long dead, the government's coke and heroine money is all laundered every day without a hitch, and after decades of insider trading nothing happens to politicians. "It was only borderline illegal"
That's why nobody gives a flying crap anymore. Just prep, take care of your little part in things, learn what's going on, and do the right thing. When the wheels fall off the global cart - let 'em.
Wonder how long before the US will need to "privatize" National Parks, National Forests, BLM land, etc. I want to be positioned to get in on that action.
You're a day late and a dollar short, brother.
It's what they know, what they do. Like in Hitler's downfall Bunker during the last hour of Berlin, you had brownosers trying to get that last promotion as General Governor ofthe no longer existing Eastern Polish Military District 2, or some such.
We have some old western hanging platforms that can be borrowed for those in Greece to use on the Brussels and the Greek government when the mob takes control. They hang multiple banksters/corrupt politicians at one time. It just needs new rope.
The floorboards might be a bit 'weak' as well ... LOL
Not good is it ?
Maybe the debate was not direct enough

Except RIGHT AS IT WAS PASSED, THE GREEK SUPREME COURT SAID THE AUSTERITY MEASURES WERE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!
Shit gonna get even realer real soon.
ACTUALLY THE VOTE OF THE GREEK PARLIAMENT IS INVALID BECAUSE THE STENOGRAPHERS WALKED OUT AND THE TAPE RECORDING IS NOT RECOGNIZED.
IT APPEARS THAT CHAOS IS A METHOD IN ITSELF
No spending and no revenues = no government
The ECB prints money to give to Greece to give back to the banks. At what point does the ECB just quit going through the motions, bypass Greece and just bailout the banks directly with free money. I guess they want to make sure they squeeze every last bit of blood they can from the greek people before they bail on the whole thing. The bankers are relentless. They want to be paid, and the greek political structure is only there to extract every last bit of wealth they can find. The greek people should just stop working and stop paying. Sounds like that is what is happening.
The Greeks must suffer so that the ECB may launder their money.
The pen is mightier than the sword. I voted over here to get as much money from those stupid banksters and did pretty good this election. Bankers dumb as iron ingots.
History will one day judge the protagonists in the Greek drama as intellectual pygmies at best or unrepentant thieves at worst.
