The New Greek Government Arrives In Its Residence: Finds No Power, No Wifi Password And No Toilet Soap
Things in Greece are bad. So bad, that the outgoing government of Antonis Samaras decided to not only leave the new inhabitants of the official residence of the Greek prime minister, the Maximos Mansion, without power, and without the WiFi password, but they decided to "borrow" all the soap in the toilet as well.
More from Spiegel, google translated:
"We sit in the dark. We have no internet, no email, no way to communicate with each other", said an employee of the Office, who has worked for various government for years. "That's never happened before." It shows that Samaras' team have "no manners and no decency."
Because of blackouts in the Maximos Mansion the official website of the Greek Prime Minister still shows the image and the resume of Samaras - even though since Monday, the left SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras is the head of government in Athens.
It was the first time that a government handover has been so bitter, said the office staff to SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Everything was seamless and worked under Mr Samaras but he would not let Mr Tsipras benefit."
Samaras had already demonstrated in recent days that he is a bad loser. He was absent, as Tsipras arrived after his swearing-in of the Maximos Mansion on Monday. This Samaras broke with tradition: It is common for an outgoing Prime Minister his successor in office sitting welcomes you and wishes him success for the government's work.
The environment of the ousted conservative Prime Minister pointed out that Samaras was not required according to Greek constitution to welcome his successor welcome.
But the lack of internet access should be the least of the problems for Tsipras and his team. Greek media report that Samaras' employees have not even left the soap in the staff toilets.
?
Maybe we were wrong to mock Greek austerity after all.

When I lived in Greece the Treasury building still have holes in the floor for bathrooms, aka Turkish toilets. It's barely a 2nd world country. Ever wonder why the call 3rd world countries "shit holes"?
As a man who has an extensive history of shitting in the woods, squating is easier than sitting on the roids. There are toilets in north america I won't sit on and I don't care if i miss. It doesn't make a difference.
The more advanced turd world nations have laser guided shitholes. Don't squeeze until you hear the solid tone !!!
What Greece found they were out of today was bids for their bonds, which hit 17% yield, and bank stocks, which declined 29%: MISH covered it here:
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/01/greek-assets-hammered-3-year-yield-near.html
Greek banks are safe!
Na!
Now THAT'S austerity!
Reminds me of how Clintons staff treated Bush the Lesser when he took office.
I don't think that was personal, Clinton just can't help himself
The partisan stuff does not work. Bush 1's crew did it to Clinton's crew.
I'm not partisan. I wouldn't trust W to tie my shoes if Clinton was reading him the instructions.
In a non-partisan way, I don't believe that Clinton can control himself.
Sorry. Bush's staff didn't trash the place like the trailer-park trashy Clintons. No parity here.
Elected types are never going to change anything, as long as the only reason they are elected is because they said what the majority wanted to hear, which is how the world works, at the moment.
That's the real problem.
Voting is a waste of time. If you vote you are complicit in the crimes of government.
It could have been worse, they could have left the used TP for a second use....
That is real austerity....
I'm from a rough part of town where we turn our socks and boxers inside out for an extra 3 days wear so doubling up on the flip side of TP wouldn't be a hardship.
Greek news reporting he took hard drives as well
What is that traitor hiding ?
Probably the real 2014 GDP numbers which would have shown an absolute economic collapse
WTF?!?!?! Other people's money hasn't arrived yet? Round up some hard working folks and show them who's boss...
</s>
I'm surprised they didn't take the copper plumbing...
What a childish bunch! "Oh, we're all pissed off because we didn't win...whaaaaa! I know...let's strip the place!"
Ok, so if I'm in Greece now, I guess I'm heading over there with some supplies...soap, toilet paper, a laptop with a wi-fi connection...a coffee pot...Because if I'm in Greece now, I want this to work, and I'll help out how I can. I hope the folks actually IN Greece do the same.
It should be pointed out that Bill Clinton's staff trash the computers and communications system in the Whitehouse when they realized Al Gore lost the election and they no longer had jobs.
And Bush 1 did it to Clinton's staff.
No they didn't
Gore lost the election? You sure about that? Not like it would've made a difference--and not like I'd care--but the Bushes are one of the most evil families on the planet, going back generations.
Soros will provide.
Soap laced with cyanide and acid maybe!
When did Greeks start using soap
You stupid fuck, the Olive Oil soap is the most ancient form of soap,and the most expensive today,
And before you insult all the Greeks and the ancient Italians (Greek speakers) have a look to see where the most ancient baths were built.
Have putin send over some soap, he's prolly got the wilfi password too.
They should probably check with the NSA on the password
DING DING DING !!!! best comment on this thread!
Finds No Power, No Wifi Password And No Toilet Soap
Rejoice Greeks! The fewer toxic remnants you find leftover from decades long financial repression, the better. 'Missing' stuff like this is exactly the cr*p that you don't need to renew your unique national spirit and identity.
Not unique to Greece, but amazing that Gooberments today are full of Twitter-Twats that cannot function without the internet
My house is probably more organized than the average government but I have to spend an hour or two looking for the WiFi password.
96 hours since the socialist came in power and they are already in Venezuela mode.
They should be in the Guinness Record 2015 edition.
Not that I give credence to the 'left versus the right' paradigm any longer but..., '96 hours since the socialist came in power and they are alreadyin Venezuela mode."
So the 'right' as considered in this context did a good job up to this point?
Really????
Please...realize what/who the masters of destruction and theft really are. Don't continue to buy into the mass media speak.
Oh because you believe that a bunch of commies will do better for the economy than the Troika austerity, keep dreaming on.
Hint: Have you read their fucking program instead of speaking without knowing anything ?
I never said they will do better.
HINT: Try learning how to read and not 'read into' a statement instead of speaking without knowing anything.
And as stated, I don't buy into the 'left versus right' paradigm (stated AGAIN for those with a reading disability).
But this mess has been in place for decades. It did not happen overnight with the new government.
lol....indirectly with the help of the USA
HéH? No Toilet soap? W.. T... F?
They said they was gonna tear down the oligarky? Well burning daylight.
This should leave no doubt in the minds of the Greek people who they had running their country. And for the people who voted for his re-election, you voted for a soap stealer. Nice job.
Sounds like Greece is going to default
1. Looks like the soap ran out. Get the keys to the custodians closet. Replace it. Don't forget to twist the nipple to the ON position before closing the box.
2. The Greek government OWNS the utilities. This shouldn't require more than one or two phone calls.
3. Security DAMMIT! Call your IT guy to reboot the server and get all those passwords changed PRONTO. I'd go as far as yanking all the harddrives and replacing with new ones. Save the old ones for your IT guy to EnCase.
Dear Greece, I'm available to solve all types of your insurmountable government problems. Please contact me for further details. Please tell me your budget for my work and expected hours.
Got rope?
You may want to insist on being paid upfront
no shit, dumb fucks want everything handed to them, were they expecting the four seasons? you're in fucking charge, handle it sosh!
Fuck the computers go back to paper !
Darkest days before the new dawn. Har dee har har. And what would make anyone think that? Marxism always works so well with a formerly unproductive society. Har.
Unfortunately for them, the Dawn will be not Golden...
Come on guys, get behind this guy. The banks fucked him and his country!
Yea, it had nothing to do with the Greek government's economic policies (the ones which New Boss is going to continue and expand).
I'm sure everything will be fine now.
Do a forensic audit of the files and arrest, prosecute and HANG THEM.
Maybe they can call on some of these folks for a loan?

Anyone else find it strange there is no Rothschild on that list, in fact no Brits on the list at all? That seem right?
List only partly correct .
Still, there are a few on there we could begin with.
Password, of course, was "1bl0wkr4uts"
I thought it was > "I82qb4ip"
Nawww... its MrPanos
did they strip the copper wire from the walls, too?! Taking the TP-now that is low......OR.....do they know something that we dont?
I usually don't give out free consultation but the WiFi doesn't work when the power is off.
At least they left the china and the silverware, unlike the Clintons!
And they get to play russian roulette too.
The ECB can supply the toilet paper.
Could you imagine the reaction of the brats in the US coming to work under those conditions. What an outrageous debacle that would be
. LMAO.
Why assume there was soap in the first place. Since when to swine bath?
+ 1000000000
And you did not have to post a picture Bill. Lucky I drunk my tea by the time I read your comment.
I only wish it was the United Shit States dealing with this scenario. A most deserving country to suffer.
The new world odor
Isn't Greece where you are not allowed to flush toilet paper so you have to throw away your filthy ass napkin in the trash?
Yes, the British installed the Greek sewage system on the cheap, in Victorian times, using smaller 4" diameter pipes than standard 6" pipes - so they block more readily when carrying toilet paper.
There is sure to be alot of IMF policies to be flushed down the drain before they get around to replacing the sewer system.
The big question is: why has the plumbing not been improved since the 19th century?
"why has the plumbing not been improved since the 19th century?"
Probably for the same reason that vast tracts of British sewage systems are still Victorian.
Yes, that's true.
Things are heating up in the ME... 15 Israeli soldiers killed.

What about the nailgun? did they left some nails behind?
Just an unloaded shitgum.

"That's never happened before." It shows that Samaras' team have "no manners and no decency."
And no money
Fuck Samaras and his cohort of EU ass kissing bootlickers.

The Greeks should consider themselves lucky!
Hillary ("Weeze po' folk, ya' know..." ) woulda steamed-off the wallpaper & re-gifted it as a present for Chelsea's new home - only to claim a "charitable donation" tax-deduction.
All this manufactured media drama aside:
* communism is a control mechanism created by the Wall Street oligarchs
* Tsipras is a communist
* Tsipras is controlled by the Wall Street oligarchs
Get it?
Silver For The People
Blah blah blah
where can i buy some Greek stawks?
Sounds like the morons when Bush W took the white-house.
Also describes a White House transition without Oligarch support...
I may be a little ahead of myself, but I for one, am looking forward to the resurrection of the Drachma. More trending currencies is always a good thing to trade off.
Actually, they used the liquid soap as a chaser after taking a shot of Ouzo....Got stoutly drunk on Ouzo once and woke up feeling like there were a million tar babies in my mouth...
Samaras sold&shipped the toilet paper and the soap to Carcas ?
Then he earned some money for the state budget.
Been almost a week, and they still don't have electricity, internet, or toilet soap? If i were greek, i would be shitting my pants. These socialists want to run the economy, and they can't even allocate basic resources to their own offices.
I didn't have any of those things when i moved into my new house a few years back, but i had all of those things within the first day. I'm already better at running a country than those idiots.
They left them some soap on a rope.
These fools have nothing on thieving U.S. gov't stooges.
