Cypriots Stone Bank of Cyprus On "Depositor Haircut" Anniversary

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In what may be a preview of what’s in store for The Bank of Greece, Cypriots — who are understandably still a little more than angry about the decision to confiscate their deposits — showed up outside of The Bank of Cyprus today to “celebrate” the anniversary of the bail in. Watch below as the crowd shouts and hurls rocks at the central bank…

 

More from hellenicinsider:

A few hundred Cypriots made their way to the Cyprus Central Bank and The Bank of Cyprus HQ to let the all powerful EU banking clan know exactly how they feel.

 

Considering that the EU raided people’s deposit accounts for a €10 billion shortfall two years ago, while today the EU is pumping billions into the non-member state of Ukraine to continue its war against Donbas civilians…we would say that a few hundred Cypriots throwing rocks at windows is getting off lightly.

 

"This is your justice..."

To be fair America is in a slightly different situation, the drop will be steep unlike the gradual decline of the EU, so they aren't feeling the full effects yet, hence less reason for a revolt.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

 

 

The founders would be so ashamed to see the sad sorry state of this country.

It shows what most people value above all else: Mammon, god money.

Money money money money, money [x6]
Some people got to have it
Some people really need it
Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it
Talk about cash money, money
Talk about cash money- dollar bills, y'all

For the love of money
People will steal from their mother
For the love of money
People will rob their own brother
For the love of money
People can't even walk the street
Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat
For that lean, mean, mean green
Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money
People will lie, Lord, they will cheat
For the love of money
People don't care who they hurt or beat
For the love of money
A woman will sell her precious body
For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight
Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil
Do funny things to some people
Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime
Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Some people really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Got to have it, I really need it
How many things have I heard you say
Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down
For the love of money
All for the love of money
Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you
For the love of money
Money can change people sometimes
Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you
Money can fool people sometimes
People! Don't let money, dont let money change you,
it will keep on changing, changing up your mind.

I wish Cyprus had had a referendum where fucking morons like this could have told the EU to go fuck itself ... then Cyprus would have completely collapsed and it's depositors would have gotten cents on the Euro.

The euphamisms tell you what you need to know.

When a person's labor is turned into a "haircut" or a "stability levy" they are merely changing the definition of "slavery" to "involuntary cooperation".
