Greece Is About To Be 'Fixed' For Good

Just wait until he tells the Greek PM that "debt doesn't matter."

OT:

 

We never have any fun on Fridays anymore……so lets change it up.  Change the professions in the quote below to reflect a more modern version.

Correct. It's "The SVERIGES RIKSBANK PRIZE in Economic Sciences -- in Memory of Alfred Nobel"

IOW, it's... The Economics Prize from the SWEDISH CENTRAL BANK, honoring Alfred Nobel and getting the Nobel Committee to hand it out.

I call it the CUCKOLD PRIZE, as it was created by the Swedish CB and placed in the Nobel nest.

It Zion that is desperate. They need to have it appear to the Greeks that things are being done for the benefit of the Greeks before their Greek farm spins out of their control--they are buying time.

I am betting that ZATO needs a little more time to get their military and cover story ducks in a row, as Zion cannot, for a myriad of reasons, allow Greece to leave the fold.

I don't see how this ends without bullets and blood for the Greeks.

Krugman: "What did your Zionist minders tell you to say?"
Later: "Mr. Krugman and I have discussed a great many ideas about how to fix the problems and struggles that Greece and the Greek people face. He and I have uncovered several great ideas that I think will alleviate our pain, and restore Greece to health and to our place in Europe, the EU, and the world. I wish to thank Mr. Krugman for his time and wonderful insights into our problem. Thank you."

Are you another of the arab islamic cult worshipers ????

I ask because I notice that your every post is always about jews & zionists regardless of the topic, so clearly you have a pathological fear of jews & zionists. Is this because of your kind's trauma over having had your ignorant primitive defective asses repeatedly severely kicked by the jews & zionists ?

Just asking, I don't have dog in that fight, but I am amused and entertained by the obsession of the defeated arab islamic cult worshipers with their jew & zionist superiors.

1. I do not receive any money from anyone for any kind of service.

2. I do not have an agenda to "stifle any comments on the Jewish behavior", because unlike you mentally damaged paranoid bigots, I don't see "Jewish behavior" as the cause of every problem in the world - there just are not enough jews for such a scope and degree of impact !

3. Regarding zionists, there are at least 1,000 times MORE christian zionists than jewish zionists, so if you want to heap shit on zionists, then the christian zionists are a much bigger target.

4. The entire world is loaded with debt bombs that have exploded or are exploding soon, eg Iceland, Cypress, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Detroit, Chicago, Japan, China, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Argentina, etc, etc, etc. It is simply NOT possible for jews to be the cause of all these debt bombs, and the jews are way too clever to be destroying their banking business on a global scale.

Clearly You wackos

"Regarding zionists, there are at least 1,000 times MORE christian zionists than jewish zionists,"

They are called evangelical Christians. They, ironically, form the ideology support base of Zion's neo-con tyranny in the DC US. Ironically because one of the main theses of evangelical Christianity is the wiping out of Israel and Judaism in/at the "End-Times."

I would recommend that you, and others so inclined, read Alan Hart's comments, and books, on Zionism. Not that you should agree with him, but give him a read and a thought.

Zionism is a system of control and plunder, government, not an ethnic rivalry--Always about money, power, and division.

Well said. It's been my experience that certain Christian sects, such as the Southern Baptists, interpret scripture in a way that sees the creation of Isreal in 1948 as a fulfillment of ancient prophecy. They do not recognize for the cynical use of power by the monied interests to use the nation state as a wedge in the region that can be used to exploit the ME for oil.

So, these folks actually support Isreal's every move and cannot accept any criticism of Israel. As kchrisc points out, the Jews will become believers in Christ during or after the 'great tribulation', and thus will be saved since they are God's chosen people. Kind of a reconciliation of Christianity and Judaism at the end of time.

Religious beliefs aside, these people tend to support the neo-con ideas and actions because of their views on Isreal. I would argue that neo-cons are not necessarily Christian (as can be seen from the many Jewish neo-cons), but they certainly know how to manipulate certain sects into accepting anything Israel says or does.

Think of Hillary Clinton supporters. Do they support Hillary because she is the best candidate and has a record beyond reproach? No, but she is loyal to all Fabian Socialist dogma, and it's her turn, so they put the blinders on and rally behind her. If Satan ran, but supported all their Fabian ideals, they would be rallying behind him also.

Kind of like that with Zionists and certain evangelicals IMHO.

"They are called evangelical Christians. They, ironically, form the ideology support base of Zion's neo-con tyranny in the DC US."

This statement about christian zionists is absolutely true - the ONLY reason that Israel exerts such a huge influence over USA politics and government is because of the HUGE number of zealot christian zionists in the USA.

Government power in the USA requires occupying government office,

occupying government office requires winning elections,

winning elections requires a majority of voters -

there are far too few jews in the USA to control the outcome of elections,

BUT there is an abundance of zealot christian zionists in the USA

AND

MANY MANY MANY TIMES MORE christians running and controlling the governments, central banks, commercial banks, investment banks, etc than jews.

Zionism is abhorrent to Judaism.
I have nothing against Jews. Unfortunately much of Zionism is dominated by Jews. I would feel no different if Zionism were dominated by the Irish.

The reason I harp on Zion and Zionism is that the problem for West, but especially for the American country and people, is not only the government and their tyranny, but the outside controllers of the government and tyranny.

To understand our true condition, and how we may fix it, we must be able to see, hear, and understand those that control the tyranny of the government for their benefit. We, the American people, are locked into a system of grift that robs us of our labor and product and transfers it to those well above those that appear to be calling the shots.

So-called elections are a good place to start. If you don't see Zion, then you might think that elections are "stolen," or manipulated, or that the best candidate wins. When you see Zion, you see that they select who they desire and make it so. So those not seeing Zion are easily distracted by talk of "stolen" elections, "illegals" voting, morality scandals, etc. 2008 is the quintessential example of this--it was all theater for the masses.

Those that don't see Zion, don't see the strings, and so then fall for the puppet show. Those of us that see Zion, see the strings and follow the strings not the puppets. As a result we know why things are happening, and in come cases, what is going to happen, or at least the "trend" before hand. Do you see the show, or the puppets?

When you see Zion, and keep your eyes on Zion, you see the big picture, and can stay out of the muddle below, and have clarity about what is really going on. You understand why what is being done  or said, is being done, or said.

One of my favorite examples is the Paris false-flag. A few on ZH, and elsewhere pointed out that the French population was starting to fall out with Zion and Israel over the Ukraine and Israel's genocide in Gaza. They then predicted that the next false-flag would be in France, and soon. Less than two-weeks later, "There it is."

Those not Zionist aware still think that the whole smash in oil prices is based on "supply," or fracking, etc., and not as part of Zion's war with Russia over Syria.

And what of the dollar's dramatic and miraculous run up? Sure would make it easier, and cheaper, to move from the dollar to the euro, or other, if you were given the heads up. And why stay in the now thoroughly fleeced DC US, Zion's nearly spent war dog?

Seeing Zion is, much like being a sheep on a farm. You have an okay life, though occasionally you get sheered, You eat well enough, however, ever so often one of your mates just disappears. Then one day you are struck by lightening and gain a better understanding about the workings of things. The fences are there to keep you in, and not to keep the wolves out. The sheep dog is not toying with you, but herding you. The people walking about are only the care takers of the farm for the real owners not seen. You, and the rest, are nothing but resources for them all to live off of--You're the fleece and the meat.

Now the answer is not cattle cars, but to take away their instruments of plunder and tyranny, big criminal government, and fraudulent-reserve banking. Those are the pillars that the tyranny in the DC US, and Zion rest upon. Knock them out, and Zion's tyranny cannot operate, and government "by the people" can be Restored.

Tisipras: "I'm getting a new printing press and we will need someone to run it for us- need a job?"

Krugman: "hmmmm -- Well I never had a real job but maybe I would enjoy my own printing press"

Krugman and the Fanokes that comprise the Nobel Bootlickers of Socialism will "strighten out" Greece and put them on a path to get "greased"!

If he meets with Al Sharpton, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is race discrimination.

If he meets with Obama, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is its health care system. 

If he meets with McCain, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is that they are not killing enough people.

If he meets with Pelosi, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is discrimination against women.

If he meets with Barney Frank, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is discrimination against gays.

So, of course, if he meets with Krugman, he'll discover that Greece's root cause problem is that they don't have enough debt.

If he met with Dick Cheney, he would be told Reagan has proved that deficits don't matter.

Remember when Homer tried to buy a soda with the trillion dollar bill? The Greek machine will accept that note.

Krugman is (and has always been) a Euro skeptic. He may be advising them to get out of the Euro.

http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/15/euroskeptic-me/

The Euro is a plutocratic invention... 

http://www.gregpalast.com/the-euro-is-a-big-success-no-kidding/

When push comes to shove (as we have already seen) the real agenda is revealed... the removal of sovereignty and democracy in support of a plutocracy.

Dear army of the Hellenic Republic,

If Krugman has been invited to Athens, Grexit is almost certain. You know what to do.

If you string Paul up too, all will be forgiven.

Yours, etc.,

why do we hate Greece so much as to send Krugman in to fix them?

Why doesn't Greece have a talk with Goldman-Sachs?

They fixed things just fine for Greece a few years ago.

I can imagine those two getting high and reading the comment section of ZH to see if there's something about "fixing debt problems". Both know this is a total waste of time.

Varoufakis gets paid to give it his best shot and Krugman is bored out of his tree. It's the weekend in NYC and V. has to be back in Greece soon enough to declare bankruptcy.

It's coming. It is unavoidable now. The market is all over this. Nobody can prevent it, not even FED or ECB. Well, they could but they chose not to. What does that tell you?

The culling and reaping is coming down the pike.

Krugman tells everyone what they want to hear because that's how he was trained at Harvard. Krugman makes the status quo very happy and the Greek FM will be a cakewalk for him. This is just a photo-op moment so that the tide of bank runs will abate somewhat next week. Moreover, any meeting with Krugman signals to the World that the Greek FM could not be more desperate and is at wits end terrified of following through on an exit. Alan Greedscum has already stated that Greece would exit so Krugman is obviously being brought in to slow the fear factor and massage the situation in favour of the Ponzi as opposed to allowing Putin to take center stage with a bailout deal that would just embarrass the White House once more. Either way, Krugman is a meat puppet for the tribe.
