Meanwhile In Athens, There Is A Pro-Austerity, Anti-Syriza Protest - Periscope Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Yesterday, summer officially returned to Greece when the infamous Syntagma square saw several thousand protesters demanding the end of austerity.

24 hours later, same time, same place, another protests only this time, to keep it fair, it is by the people who are demanding less Syriza and more Europe, and thus, more austerity.

 

Live Periscope feed below:

Fair? Yes. Confusing? Most certainly. But nobody ever said the unwind and collapse of massive, "political capital"-funded artificial monetary regimes is logical, calm and collected...

Do these guys have to book the square like it's a conference room or something?

Bankers know how to lobby, create an uprising, form fake "line ups" for products (iShit, condos), and then publicize it.  I call bullshit to its authenticity.

Does it bother anybody that all of the signs that we're seeing are written in English?  Or are we just getting a small sample of all of the signs that are out there, and most are in Greek?

Naw, dude. 

Next round will be the paid Trump-ettes who have a break from The Donald's campaign events.  Normally it's 50 bucks per "performance" as a Adoring Voter at Trump's events but this a good gig: trip to Greece, $100/performance as Greek Citizen + great Greek food and alcohol!  [Signs will be supplied since they don't know Greek alphabet.]

Left hand destroys(Syriza), right hand builds up.

Now that a Greek default is assured, queue the right wing revolutionaries, who will sweep their guy(defense minister)into office after the damage is done.

Kammenos, or something like that, is his name. He's got connections to Putin thru the orthodix church. He'll pick up where Tspiras left off with greece and strengthen ties to russia. Can't have him make the connection though, since that's "un-EU." Let syriza take the guff for it, but kammenos wil make it work later.

Yup. People here called this kind of thing happening. There is no leaving the EU or NATO under their rules and game. How did the greeks not see this coming? The west doesnt play by any moral rules. There was never ever going to be an exit allowed. They were going to squeeze until greece caved in or if not have a revolt or coup financed by them and then put in their own people.  Just typical NATO criminality. 

The only way to be free is to act secretly and act fucking fast. Default goodbye fuck off. Then prepare for the spies assassins and coups because they will try it. You want freedom? You leave quickly and get your forces ready, arrest all ngos , kill their spies, kick out all enemy soldiers and reps, and if need be have inteligence and assets set from more friendly and trustworthy countries. 

Act tough and quick or you will get burned. 

Thats my analysis, only for entertainment purposes of course.

What does "Europe! Europe!" even mean?

 

Rule by bankers and bureacrats in Belgium, micromanagement and debt serfdom engineered by economists who don't know what they claim to know, but do know how to ensure, manipulate, and obfuscate debt burdens?

 

Europe died the moment the EU was born.  It is the cryptofascism of the top .01%, a 'Europe' designed to denigrate and destroy European cultures - and ethnicities.

Correct.  If Putin didn't prep Tsipras for this coming scenario, and if Tsipras didn't prep his police and security services, then at least one of them is an amateur.

You can bet your ass(ets) that the CIA has its Athens office doing double-time these days, prepping for MAIDAN 2.

Victorious Nuland is there passing out Koulourakia to the protesters, and McInsane will arrive shortly in the streets declaring "I am with you, the Amerikan people are with you".  A few mercenary sniper kills and our U.S. manipulators can have Tsipras heading to Moscow for good.

Must have been hard for the colonists, who had talked lotsa smack about taxation without representation, etc and rejected the small garrison of English soldiers, just prior to war actually arriving in the colonies to keep up the resolve and courage to fight against the king when they saw that huge English Armada parked off the coast. This is that  moment for Greece -  to have courage or be slaves. I hope they have some large stones!

"no to Stalinism in Greece"

 

Honestly - what in the fuck is that even supposed to mean, other than a brain-dead dig at the possibility Russia, not the USSR but Russia, could assist Greece as it assisted Cyprus?  By the way - anyone ever consider just how favorably Russia treated Cyprus, and for that matter Ukraine for years, relative to ECB/IMF/NWO treatment of Greece?

 

I mean, that's a sign that screams 3 years out of Georgetown working in the State Department under that bona fide warmonger Samatha Power...

News flash for the "community organizers" in charge of rent-a-mob operations overseas: Stalin died in 1953. However the last significant stalinist was Mao, who died some 23 years later. You guys should at least update the name calling...

These morons don't even have a clue about what they are saying. SYRIZA is predominantly Trotskyst, and hates Stalinism. KKE is the Stailinist party in Greece with 5% of votes, and they see SYRIZA as a sell-out.

You really have to be either a complete retard, or you should have been shipped there to carry an anti-government banner, and the ony thing that comes to your little brain when you hear socialism is Stalin...

Greek here, out of those 1500 people like 1k of them are old c*nts who are afraid that they'll lose their pensions if/when we divorce with the EU. I was watching a journalist who was interviewing them earlier and they are all scared shitless that the "commies" were going to ruin Greece (even more). Funny stuff.

Yes, but as we have seen in Zion and their CIA tool's "Color Revolutions," they create two or more sides, and then pit them against each other while they effect the "change" they are after.

The people battle each other and then wake up battled and bruised with nothing but a new tyranny to show for their efforts and injuries.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..

I hope these people are attacking Syriza's socialistic economic policies and demanding pro-market reform (which is what's required to unfuck Greece), and not just demanding continued EU membership (which is really beside the point: one way or the other).
