Meanwhile, In Greece, The Protests Return

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With capital controls set to be implemented as soon as this weekend, and with EU officials planning to convene an emergency meeting on either Saturday or Sunday, Greeks are understandably restless at the prospect of being 'Cyprus'd' while they wait to hear if they will be subject to further austerity or worse, a redenomination-fueled economic collapse.  

On the eve of a critical Eurogroup meeting in Luxembourg where FinMin Yanis Varoufakis says no new proposal will be tabled, Greeks are taking to the streets ahead of an anti-austerity protest planned for Wednesday evening. 

Here are the visuals:

These Greeks are about to find out that a reduced EUR pension is worth a lot more than the same nominal value pension paid in Greek bank notes.

I don't see how you can call any situation in which you are still spending more than your tax reciepts(IE still BORROWING MORE MONEY) austerity. Just like in the US, when you talk about cutting a budget's proposed INCREASE, its called a draconian cut, even though you are spending more money on it this year than last year. These people have NO IDEA what real austerity is. But I have a feeling they will learn what thats like, soon.

"it appears they want MOAR FREE SHIT"

I dunno, maybe they're just tired of getting fucked over. When banksters, pols, big companies and big everything else stop getting their "free shit" at the expense of real workers, maybe the peons will stop expecting it too. I guess Iceland is still jailing banksters, etc. Haven't heard about any lasting percussions there.

"principle has nothing to do with it"

Never has, never will if there's the money changers involved (except that one time).

This is what I keep thinking.  It was the Greek government / business elite from 15 years ago who made the deals that started this train.  And then in 2010, it was that Greek government / business elite who doubled down.  I agree the Greek people have been screwed, but that is as much because they trusted and believed their own elite / politicians as it is because of the Troika their elite was dealing with.  The troika are evil without a doubt and should be kicked to the curb, but there were "greeks" on the other side of the table, and those men are now very rich indeed, thank you very much.  Add those men to the signs to understand the story more fully, and realize that there are plenty more of them waiting to "save you from yourselves" yet again!  Stop listening to assholes like this, from both sides of the table.

If Greece announced it had rethought who the fault lies with and was issuing arrest warrants for former Greek officials and Goldman Sachs personell who helped with the fraud, how fast do you think the EU/ECB/IMF would sit down and hammer out a real plan to help Greece?

The first thing they would negotiate is no arrests.

PROTESTING NOW??????

BETTER RUN OUT OF THE COUNTRY!!!

Same will happen here when it’s our turn. Protests when they’re flipping the switch on death row.

If there’s still greeks who just realize they need to prepare now...

If they converted all their money, sold their house and bought gold and silver, they’ll be able to buy a street in 1 month from now when blood is in the streets.

But no.... most people believe they’re the good guys and the good guys always win...

FACT: THE GOOD GUYS MOSTLY GET THEIR ASSES BEATEN UP!! THEY RARELY WIN! SO RARELY THEY MAKE MOVIES ABOUT IT WHEN THEY DO!!!

I don't understand what the protesters are asking for. They are against austerity, but what is their proposed solution? Nobody is willing to lend money to Greece, and none of the European countries can print their own money. The only way to stop austerity is to leave the EU and start printing drachma, but polls show that most Greeks want to stay in the EU.

The Greek proposed solution is forgive all of the debt so they can nationalize more of their economy,  lower the retirrement age, grow wages, and continue down the path of creating the most anti-business economy, all in the name of progress.

The bonehead Ukrainians in Kiev drank the kool aide about how cool it is to someday be in the EU. Someday, but now now. LOL  How good and great it is to accept the IMF loans now and become indebted forever and ever and how to become a good vassal state of the US.

Today Ukraine is yet another US foreign policy nightmare. 

Ukrainians in what is left of Ukraine don't produce anything (other than hot women) that anyone wants. The only country that bought Ukrainian shit was Russia. Now Russia tells Ukraine GFY sell your shit to Americans or EU states, we don't want it or need it anymore. How would Ukraine ever pay back billions upon billions of dollars in IMF loans?

As Victoria Nuland said, "Fuck the EU"

I sympathize with the Greek but only because their so called bailout was a bailout of German and French banks and pension funds that made bad investments while knowing that Greece was a basket case. It is not fair that both the Greek and EU taxpayer are on the hook for that. But the Greek made a mess of their own economy. More austerity however will not cut it. Reforms though are necessary.

Assuming Greece doesn't get their bailout and are forced out of the EU, I would not convert to the Drachma and try printing my way to prosperity. We all know how that turns out.  Instead, I would keep the Euro but introduce banking laws like they have had in Switzerland for decades. Essentially, I would build the economy around secret banking.  it would take some time to get it up and running as no one thinks stable when you think of Greece. But it would be a long term solution for Greece and they would just have to have better secrecy than Switzerland now offers.
