German Comedy: Yanis Varoufakis "Puts The 'Hell' In Hellenic"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While we noted their 'nein'-ness with regard Greece earlier, it appears the Germans have take to satire to make their point... The following brilliant clip begins with a confident man exclaiming "We are Germans... we truly are a fearless bunch of mother-f##kers..." who then quakes in his jackboots  "except for one man... V for Varoufakis."

 

"He puts the 'hell' in Hellenic"

 

"Dear Greeks, the time has come: we surrender! Take all our money! But please keep this financial Hercules off us."

Obama should have just have had a beer summit with Greece and Germany. Problem solved.

I wonder if Obama's phone wallpaper is a picture of the Nobel Prize.

" Instead of not paying you now (because we're broke), if you give us more money (claims on real physical goods) - we'll wait another 4 months till we don't pay you (cause we're broke)."

Yep, sounds like capitulation.

Its obvious the Central Banks gameplan is just to print to oblivion....and to never stop.....so in ten years we will have 100s of trillions in debt....and it will just become a joke then.....as the Cental banks heads will be more important than the President....and 80% of the people will work for the governments....

Once I was talking to a German economic PhD student who researched in transaction tax.

I asked him, "What do you think of Euro?".

He didn't take a second to think and replied to me, "I am a German. Of course, I have to support the Euro."

I didn't reply and walked away but I was thinking. If you don't use your fucking brain to think about my question and try to explain your reason. Why the bloody fuck you study a PhD, fucking numb nut. So much of education.

have you posed the same question in... England? Same automatic answer, just in reverse

yes, unthinking support of everything European was, for a long time, the hallmark of the "I'm a Good German, and leave me alone with this guilt stuff, I wasn't even born, then"

bad, bad EUR proponents to pick a name that would build on pro-Europeaness "Understanding Among The Peoples". eurofederalists are still livid, btw

but the other possible name, the NOT-A-USD... would not have flown well, would it?

great video, btw. not so sure about that horse-meat thing, but anyway, I laughed my ass off

Of course, just realised, they printed up so much of the thin air crap money, they probably thought they didn't need to do rigerous due diligence. Sub prime all over again. Where the banker always get the fee upfront.

Fabians 'wait' for the utopia? You can't be serious. Keynes was a die-hard Fabian, and the CFR, an offshoot of the Fabian Society, has produced how many 'leaders' in the US and the world?

The BCE printed possibly one trillion already to save EU zombie banks , with very little effect on the Euro ( it lost 30 cents on the dollar ) . But it seems that it can't print 350 billions of toilet paper to save Greece .....
