Greek FinMin Denies Bild's "Tall Stories" About Sending Wrong Letter To Eurogroup

Tyler Durden's picture




 

 

Just an hour after markets soared on the back of meeting delays due to what Bild Zeitung described as an "administrative mistake" of sending the wrong letter to The Eurogroup, BBC World Service contributor Yannis Koutsomitis reports, a Greek government official denies there was any "wrong" letter sent by Varoufakis to the Eurogroup.

 

 

 

 

Is anyone surprised that Bild Zeitung was not 100% correct?

Bild is Germany's largest tabloid, but it still is merely a tabloid. It's unsurprising they would attempt to generate sales through the stirring of manufactured controversy and less-than-honest reporting. Varoufakis has already set the record straight on his Twitter account.

Bild is the lowest of the lows. Pure scum. Its chief editor, Kai Dieckmann, is firmly integrated in a web of transtlantic organisations. Every employee of Bild's publishing house, the Axel Springer group, has to sign a passage which obliges the employee to support the transatlantic bond (see link; in German)

Adults? Ummm... NO. If it isn't obvious, this (as well as all other polticial "negotiations") are nothing but a clown-show designed to fool the statist sheeple that these people are in charge.

Meanwhile, they play along with a script written ages upon ages ago.

As I keep saying, this is all nothing but the breaking of eggs to create the "New Deal" Euro omelet. Crisis is created in order to be averted by TINA at the 11th hour. Nobody is leaving the EU, EVAR!

One does not create traps in order to release the prey. This is just the bait for the next, larger trap.

That's been the Obama criminal regime meme from the beginning.  Changing islamic terror to "violent extremism" and warning of "homegrown threats". 

 

I found it very odd that the Homeland Security director was on CNN yesterday describing the planned "offensive" on Mosul against ISIS.   Now planned for May -- nothing like announcing months in advance.  Anyway, it occurred to me in the past such discussions would have been represented by the Secretary of Defense or Pentagon officials.   This Homeland Security position is apparently now both internal and external security.  Quite frightening really.

 

As an aside, CNN is on my gym's screens, so it's the only reason I see what they are up to.  It is a total propaganda channel, targeted toward really non-thinking people and completely in-step with the Obama regime in all aspects.

Wholly shit, that's appalling. Having given up on "hearts and minds", they're now going for full-on domestic government terrorism. They've lost, they know they've lost, and so they're proceeding to the civil war/scorched earth phase of their criminal reign of terror.

From your link:

<<They're carrying out sporadic terror attacks on police, have threatened attacks on government buildings and reject government authority.A new intelligence assessment, circulated by the Department of Homeland Security this month and reviewed by CNN, focuses on the domestic terror threat from right-wing sovereign citizen extremists and comes as the Obama administration holds a White House conference to focus efforts to fight violent extremism.>>

I wonder if our MSM-watching families and friends will even notice that these 'extremist' reports are about us: their wives and husbands, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers?

<<Some federal and local law enforcement groups view the domestic terror threat from sovereign citizen groups as equal to -- and in some cases greater than -- the threat from foreign Islamic terror groups, such as ISIS, that garner more public attention.?>>

This MIC economy can't run without an enemy and since the war propaganda isn't working, I guess they have to resort to making enemies of citizens now. Thank God we still have heaps of illegal aliens to carry on peaceful trade and commerce with, and form the roots of our communities. Our cartel-captured government is looking to terrify its citizens into submission, since the internet is dismantling its global propaganda empire. Since they can't rule the world, they're turning their focus to ensuring they won't be unseated here at home.

<<The Homeland Security report, produced in coordination with the FBI, counts 24 violent sovereign citizen-related attacks across the U.S. since 2010.>>

I have no words. No point even wondering what comparative figures would be for domestic government violence or violence by illegal aliens, I guess.

<<The government says these are extremists who believe that they can ignore laws and that their individual rights are under attack in routine daily instances such as a traffic stop or being required to obey a court order. They've lashed out against authority in incidents such as one in 2012, in which a father and son were accused of engaging in a shootout with police in Louisiana, in a confrontation that began with an officer pulling them over for a traffic violation. Two officers were killed and several others wounded in the confrontation. The men were sovereign citizen extremists who claimed police had no authority over them.>>

Sovereign citizen = extremist. Look at all the key words in this piece of propaganda: "routine daily instances", "lashed out against authority", "sovereign citizen extremists". God damn, we need to get RID of the Fed, and that right soon. Look at the governmental terrorism and propaganda that their printed Rothschild money is now funding. (The funds for this top-drawer reporting certainly aren't coming from viewer numbers or subscription fees, nor is it being paid from taxes.)

Frankly, after several well-publicised reports of murders and looting by police throughout the last two years, I'm wondering if these 'routine, daily' stops represent in and of themselves a threat to my life and property. All it takes is one trigger-happy cop having a bad day with a gun. As far as I know, it's only in fascist countries that being stopped for checks by government agents is considered 'routine' or 'daily'.

<<Among the findings from the Homeland Security intelligence assessment: "(Sovereign citizen) violence during 2015 will occur most frequently during routine law enforcement encounters at a suspect's home, during enforcement stops and at government offices.">>

Sovereign citizens beware. The government is putting you on notice that they're moving you up to the status of enemy combatant.

<<The report adds that "law enforcement officers will remain the primary target of (sovereign citizen) violence over the next year due to their role in physically enforcing laws and regulations.">>

Cops, it's time to decide between your loyalty to the state, and your loyalty to your family, friends, neighbours, and communities. Who do you work for, serve, and protect? Citizens, be careful driving, or travelling on any road. Whether you're in the US or one of its central-bank puppet states, your country is ruled by the Rothschilds, they're not your friends, and they're feeling very threatened by you these days.

I don't usually click on MSM links, since they tend to make me feel like I need a shower afterward. This one was no different, but thanks for the important heads-up on how much this evil government hates us for our freedom.

Excellent link, Zorro. Fascinating, thoughtful remarks by Varou. I think he's correct about a lot of things; although I do note that he kind of implicitly leaves the door open for an exit. Maybe, for example, if Greece had "bridge support" from other countries, then maybe returning to drachma suddenly gets a lot more realistic. To my ears, he seemed to imply that the reason he's "european" is that Greece at the moment does not have any apparent alternatives.

That may change.

Getting to the point that anything I see in any "western" press about Greece, I have to assume to be either inaccurate, erroneous, or a lie. Every time "news" breaks (90% non-news about upcoming meeting schedules, miscommunications and hurt feelings) I always wait for the Greek response now, to find out the real situation. Whether it's Bild or Bloomberg, the MSM always seems to break these "news reports" first, and always to be proven dead wrong upon the Greek reply.

Nice thing about the Greeks is that at least their response time is very fast. With every troika attempt to steer the propaganda, the Greeks issue an immediate reply and rebuttal. They must have a good quick-response team to put the kibosh on all these misinformation attempts. Respect for your strategic thinking, PM Alex.

It looks to me as though the Greek government is trying to speak to the people while the troika and MSM speak mainly to the algos. MSM isn't even trying to make these stories believable or relevant anymore. I bet most of these "news" reports are nothing but algo ramps for the propaganda tool that the "stock market" has become.

Since this is a silly post Q99X2 will tell of the most interesting development in warfare. Contractor militaries. Entire armies of mercenaries are now for rent. This is quite an insightful claim by Craig Hulet and leads us to conclude that the rent an army will be open to anyone with enough money to pay for them. Any side, both sides or the most side can win the next war, or destroy the planet, if they have enough money. Check out WOL radio in D.C. http://www.eliasound.biz/hulet/mp3s/2015/02.16.15.mp3

Just to reminding what is that all about.

Greece's technically already defaulted  since they flatly refused to pay anything unless they can grow economy first. That's tactical move. After 6m bridge loan and demand for 95% write off their debts, they intend to dump euro anyway while securing Chinese and Russian investments so Drahma will not collapse while they will print their own money to get rid of the rest of their debt.

The German threat of expelling Greeks from eurozone is moot to Greeks. What they really want to destabilize Europe to force German exit which would kill German economy while Deutsche mark skyrocket. Euro crony oligarchs are shitting in their pants as I write.

If Syriza does that in may end up in military coup or EU aggression and bloodshed.
