Postcards From Cyprus
While not the Molotov-cocktail-throwing, smoke-bomb-hurling debacle that Greece (and Spain) became, the Cypriot demonstrations are gathering pace with a large protest planned for this evening and tomorrow during the parliament's vote. The following images give a sense of the feeling among the people...

manna shevitz, the bernack better clear his schedule
Do we have a riot cam feed for Cyprus yet?
Completely apathetic human race. What is there, like 20 people? What a joke.
And that is why this shit will continue. Banker theft is going completely unaddressed by the people. The entire world civilization will be pillaged because no one gives a shit.
Bernocchio knows it too.
Izzat one of them Soylent Green thingies?
your stupid protest signs dont mean shit, take to arms!..... o wait, those were taken from you decades ago... never mind, keep making stupid signs.
Thanks Tyler. I wasn't following Cyprus, so I am hitting the books, if you will. You may all like my recent missive - Island Nightmares - http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/18/island-nightmares/

Oh noes! Are those home-made signs? I'm sure the Germans are trembling.
Wake me up when they discover sniper rifles.
If that is Krugman posting above (and it likely isn't), you have to wonder what that mathematical chatter box is doing posting here.
All of this shouldn't be happening according to his theories - we've had market intervention, bailouts, deficit spending, etc.

Au contraire, I have never agreed with how Europe has handled it's economy through this depression.
The depression is a world-wide phenomenon created by a debt-based money system, central planning of interest rates, falsification of consumer goods inflation figures by governments (CPI), blowing of a debt bubble by the regulators (central banks), falsification of gold prices, etc.
In short it is about central planning and intervention in the markets and a fundamentally flawed fiat money system.
I am sure you feel there should have been more intervention by European governments and central banks. And that is the nub of the problem.
FFS it's not the Krugman troll, it's a troll pretending to be the real troll.

ENGLISH home-made signs for the english-reading news.
Don't forget that detail.
At least it's not as suspicious as the English-only protest signs in Pakistan or India... those always get me. How many people flat out don't stop and say "how come that sign's not in Hindi or Urdu?"
Almost everybody in Cyprus speaks some English. Only the elderly in villages don't know how to speak any English.
Why do you waste your time here paul. Everyone junks you and your articals are garbage and only mean something to mindless sheep.
Dont even need to read it. let me guess, cyprus just needs to break some windows and they'll be fine?
kudos to krugman. he stands his ground with his opinions.
he takes it in the face and he's not anonymous.
on ZH, he is the contrarian's contrarian, which is weird
because he's not exactly a conforming classicist either.
I think he IS anonymous. and NOT Krugman.
Just a thought.
always a possibility. but the time zone matches
and the grammar and style seem consistent.
But this bastard can't use "its" correctly. Surely a blowhard like the real Krugman would get that right. Now excuse me while I had to the lavatory to take a Krugman.
no it's not. He used to write differently, he's just changed up a little. The actual Paul Krugman is more likely to post to his twitter @nytimeskrugman than zerohedge.
Probably - but most wardens get tired of hanging-out and chatting at their own looney bin - with all due respect, but the rationale in his writings is/are that bad.
It is extremely damaging to our society to have policy makers and government officials utilizing his ideas.
More 'nudity' is required to make this a newsworthy event... All that Russian mob money & nobody thought of putting a few Ukranian hookers into the frame?
Yes, Dr. Krugman you are right. They are going about this all wrong. They should inflate the peoples' money away so no one notices the theft.
You need to read Thoreau or Durant's Lessons of History while you're at it, and make a real attempt at personal enlighenment.
Cypriots are armed to the teeth for your info, as all cypriots are the army. Just like switzerland.
You beat me to it. If you aren't armed then nobody gives a shit.
You have to look the other way sometimes. How can I ever hope to be wealthy if I don't support the system?
Obviously they are "enemy combatants" and need to be droned.
You are right this riot is a Joke it had maximum 200 people... Yesterday we were having Carnavals in Greece and Cyprus and in Greece they were full of people...Some weeks ago we had some riots and only 2000 people attended them in a country that has 1.500.000+ unemployeed and rising everyday
Only a few seem to realize what will come after this decision in both Countries.
In my opinion this decision is the end of Euro.
I read this site regularly, and a smokin hot article gets 60k maybe 75k hits. I went to youtube the other day (trying to understand a cultural reference) and saw that gangnam style had 1.5 billion hits. The stark contrast made me nauseated, and hateful.
So... what you're saying is that we need a "Goldman is bankster style" parody video, with the banksters ripping off everyone while living large.
Banzai!!
satire injection. STAT!
does Banzai do videos?

They are all up in the mountais for Monday end of Lent.
Everyone else is on the phone to Vladimir.
BERNOCCHIO ~ That's good stuff right there !!
@nope ... I know, it's ultimately up to us(maybe the 95% of this world) to say enough is enough. Without massive public rejection againt their financial dictatorship we are never going to end this.
Alternatively, if we are all apathetic about publicly manifesting our opinion, we can perhaps do it in a smarter way. I mean the Bitcoin solution. Really, I was skeptic at first, but the more I read about it the more I like it. Think about it, if a considerable amount of people start accepting it as money, it will end their centuries-old money monopoly. Please tell me how this couldn't work?? I mean, unless Bitcoin really is another form of manipulation, it will ultimately be at last money for the people....I have no problem with gold either, but a solution like Bitcoin seems way more practical and democratic.
ultimately the greed of fiat-for-bitcoin exchanges & volatility is its downfall. On this side of the currency universe instead of the bizarro-btc universe, there's people with legal authority to issue yen, dollars, euros, as they please, and on the btc side there's NO distinguishing those from honest dollars because no dollars are honest. Hence btc itself can be raided, controlled, ruined, regulated de facto without a single word uttered about laws or legal tender.
The threat posted by btc will proportionally cause cia and/or fed reserve to buy them first & control what supply is on exchanges.
Should have been less greedy & used them only for a barter network. Too late now.
My only issue with bitcoin is that it is 100% digital. Therefore, every transaction is tracked, taxed, and logged. The idea is great, the implementation forfeits certain personal rights because why does the gov't need to know every transaction you do?
That's what I don't like about it.
odds are the Russian mobsters won't go to public protest to show their misgivings over the accounts. Now if some banker's hair starts falling out and he suddenly gets very sick and stays that way... OK, now we're cooking with gazprom.
Russian Mafia vs, Troika
Sounds fantastic!

:D
yep. nothing will change.
lynch a banker in the bank parking lot, video to you tube.
that's a start.
until then, articles like this show us what's not being done.
Do they have an internet kill switch and indefinite detention in place?
long pitchforks!
Withhold 35% from pay checks and everythings ok. Take 6.5% after they have the money in hand, they take to the street. Just think of the riots if there was no with holding from paychecks an you had to pay taxes after you cashed your check in full.
