"Greek Deal Imminent", Any Second Now

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For everyone disgusted with the endless Greek drama, where the economy gets worse by the hour and yet it seems that not a day passes without another, and another, and another "Greek deal imminent" rumor, don't worry: it's not just you.

But then again...

 

And in other news according to Sky News economics editor Ed Conway, this was just "spotted in the Greek Economy Ministry (I kid you not)."

All these are related.

They're saved!

Now if they can just continue to give the IMF $10 billion a year until 2057.

No FBD.

Even if the Greeks never paid another single Euro back, they would not be allowed to swing to the Rooskies and the ISDA (International Skata and Deception Association). would never declare a default.

Dig trenches, with our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made. Here, run out and get some trenches. Wait a minute, get 'em this high and our soldiers won't need any pants. Wait a minute, get 'em this high and we won't need any soldiers!

Who knows, maybe in 100 years there will be busts of Jamie Dimon on the desks of pricks worldwide.

Plenty of Karl Marx fans running around these days and not just in Greece.  I guess people have gotten desperate enough to believe somebody actually will take responsibility for their care and feeding forever.  Doesn't matter if they actually will, what's important is that they SAY they will.

"Desperation" is the key word here. It will drive everything here on out. This is why we see "divergences"....the gap between reality and fear/greed emotions.

All time high??

"I guess people have gotten desperate enough to believe somebody actually will take responsibility for their care and feeding forever.  Doesn't matter if they actually will, what's important is that they SAY they will." [citation needed]

Hunh. Try though I might I couldn't find that 'belief' extolled anywhere in Das Kapital, or anywhere else (except from Ms. Informations).

However, I did find something like this:

MalWartism

Pretty prescient, actually. Does that make me a 'fan'?

You are invited:

"The funeral of Greek Economy"

The relatives: Tsipras, Merkel, IMF, EU zone, EU bank et all

You are welcome to attend but be aware: someone will have to pay a trillion lost euros and it won't be the bankrupted Greek people!

The Marxist con man in the whiter house gets a pass on this over and over. This is his Fed / Imf, his Fed chair Yellen, his additional debt burden, and if he wanted to put and end to all this monetary madness he could. But he simply chooses not to because this obviously ushers in more and more socialism and a global takeover of the US. Welcome tyranny as serfdom is the outcome for all of us.

Yeah, just keep searching the internet long enough and you may find it.  If I were a citizen of Greece, I'd be searching "Rumplestiltskin", "Albanian Citizenship", and "Home address of Christine LaGarde"

"...in other news according to Sky News"

I don't recall Sky News ever exposing "Gordoom 'I saved the world' Brown" as a Marxist.

It's possible that a statue of Karl Marx was spotted in the Greek finance ministry but it's just as likely that it wasn't. May have been planted. We are in the game of MSM joining forces with the political elites to play hard ball to force Greece into submission.

We are in the game of MSM joining forces with political elites to play hard ball to force EVERYONE into submission.

They will do it through indoctrination and manipulation, reserving force as a last resort...but we will submit. Freedom is a perception and it is their goal to induce us to "believe" that what they are doing and telling us is the ultimate expression of "freedom", even if it must be forced down our throat in room 101. The quickest most assured path to our submission is through our emotions, and will do all in their power to ensure that only our emotions rule...the herding of cattle through stampede. Crisis is an excellent "emotion" generator and will be put to work.

Off topic a bit but I always liked the way the Germans facilitated the sealed train carrying Lenin from Switzerland to Russia.

A bit like rolling a smoking hand grenade,or dropping a big,stinking clinker in the Romanov's In Tray.

Not that anyone reads history nowadays but there was one journalist in Moscow who asked to see all the secret treaties between the Russians and the Allies which the bolshies were harping about.So a fellow comes in to his office and dumps a box of treaties on his desk."Here,have a look!".A big popular issue in that era was open treaties,openly arrived at.A bit topical with all the secret legislation being passed these days.
