ECB: "We create the priciple, but principle plus interest is owed."

EU: "But if only the priciple is created, and principle plus interest is owed, doesn't that mean that some countries will necessarily fail and need to borrow more to keep up with payments?"

ECB: "Those countries are lazy and need to work harder."

EU: "If only 12 eggs are created, and 13 eggs are owed back, mathematics would tell us that one or more countries would need to borrow more eggs into existence in order to keep up with payments."

ECB: "That's what we're here for."

They could be.  People don't understand silver's value and they will sell gramndma's silver plates to the highest bidder so they can keep paying their credit cards.

If the EU is broken thanks to Greece, it will be Freedom for the European countries. Europe will finally be able to turn the page of the ugly XXth century and move to independent countries the way it was in teh XIX century... 

Let us all hope that Germany and Greece are reasonable and let the EU and EURO go for the benefit of everyone ... and next NATO can go sod-off.

Europe does not exist as a political entity that counts. The US tries to make sure that this doesn't change, of course, but it is not the US' fault that Europe is a mess. It is the fault of Europe's clueless leaders.

Washington Post has pics of her from the yearbook of the DC-area high school she attended as a teen (see slides 3 and 5).

Greece is Bankrupt. Fact.

Greece coerced it's way into the Euro. Fact

Other Euro countries are watching Greece. Fact

FIAT Currencies are an Illusion of Wealth. Fact

Greece can finally Lay-Bear to everyone that FIAT Currencies are bad for Humanity. Fact

Greece can/could be like Iceland with in 2 years. ???

Other similarities when strong countries influence smaller:

Puerto Rico, Ukraine, Baltics, Balkans.

Historically...Greece and Turkey are also Balkan countries.

They all end up twisted and torn.

It is just the way things roll.

Nation-States default all the time, then restructure their loans.  They go through a period of hardship - let's call it a severe recession since Neo-Keynesian economics gives us such varied terms for recession and depression - hopefully followed by a period of economic prosperity if so lucky.

Greece will default, Spain will default, everyone will defalt and we will back debt to gold viola.

The way Varoufakis looks, I'd be hesitant to fuck with him.  He looks as if he'd rather blow things up and deal with the effect later.  Toika be warned.

This is what happens when taxes can coerced from those threatened with violence.

They unwittingly underwrite thin air fvck all 'money'.

I love these pictures of Varoufakis...Where he's in the background, smirking, while some Gumby-faced guy is making 'serious announcements'...

There's something Black Bartish in that look. These guys should tread carefully. They may have met their match this time.

It's obvious this team is impervious to blackmail.  NSA proof.

However they do need to know the remote inducing arrhythmia capabilities of their enemies.  If they suddenly find themselves experiencing a cardiac arrhythmia while outdoors, they need to get indoors or under something massive or underground as soon as possible.  If the arrhythmia ceases immediately upon doing so then they were in fact hit by a weapon.

True. Anyone who thinks this guy is a patsy doesn't know his history. He has a great metaphor for the state of the global economy today and how it got this way...   The Global Minotaur
