Ignoring Tsipras Plea For Calm, Greeks Storm ATMs, Stores, Gas Stations
Just a few hours ago Greek PM Tsipras addressed his nation imploring then to "remain calm" and reassuring them that their "deposits were safe." It appears the Greeks did not believe him. Many were wondering where the Greek bank lines were for the past several months. Turns out the local depositors were merely waiting until just after the last minute to withdraw their funds... horde gas... and stack food. Greece, it appears is Venezuela - the new socialist paradise.
Tsipras implored: "Keep Calm...."
They did not listen...
Call that an ATM line...
Now THIS is an ATM line...

We have seen this before - in Russia recently as the Ruble collapsed and citizens spent any and every piece of currency they had on 'assets'.
The great news for Greece is that GDP for Q2 will be sent soaring.
Simply put - it's all about inflation expectations. And unlike The Fed or The BoJ, who keep trying to jawbone higher expectations into their citizens' minds, the Greek government may have achieved it implicitly through devaluation expectations and with it - a spending spree before things get more expensive and implicitly a surge in GDP. Of course, however, the spending surge can only be short-term and will stop as soon as there are no more euros to spend.

"Greece, it appears is Venezuela - the new socialist paradise."
Apples and Oranges.
The Tylers, smart as they are (in some areas), are incredibly stupid and shockingly uninformed when it comes to Venezuela.
For what it is worth, I would love it if they applied the term "capitalist paradise" in every single one of their articles on domestic (i.e. USA) issues.
Yes, these are orderly pictures which show people I would like to date, romance, have children with.
A line, a Que, is not something that is a Riot or Revolution.
Screw the US/NATO Propaganda. These people look like nice family people.
Right on...
QEs, ZIRP, central banking really and goverment mixing with business interests is not capitalism. Neither is government restrictions on business. Wrong.
I find it astonishing that people still have money in Greek banks. What posssessed these people to put their money on Greece reaching a deal with the troika?
Sorry, doomsayers. The bureaucrats in Brussels, or the Fed, or IMF, won't just cave and slink away into history no matter what happens to Greece. There is a lot more can-kicking on the agenda. A lot.
Remain Calm All Is Well!

soon to happen in usa and much of the west
The best way to create a bank run is for government to say, "Stay calm, your deposits are safe".
Why should Greece adhere to the EU sanctions now? They need every dime of foreign currency
How long til the first attack against German tourists ?
Rubishology in zero hedge , I guess the Z hedgers are long Euro .... crap your pants sheep !
Right. I am going long on a DEAD CURRENCY.
That is the same logic that European Banksters used when buying up a BANKRUPT ECONOMY's BONDS.
"But...but...but it pays 25% Interest. I need to buy MOAR. If I fuck up and Greece defaults then the depositors will bail my ass out. Wheeeee...I cannot lose."
Signed by your Douche Bunk Executive Representative.
"Turns out the local depositors were merely waiting until just after the last minute to withdraw their funds... horde gas... and stack food."
Do'h. How do you think they arrived in such a position, yet again? The Greek propensity for selling tomorrow to live today pre-dates the IMF, the ECB and socialism. Socialism and Greek culture are a particularly unfortunate combination.
By way of reminder: 10minutes and priceless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyzW8tV-bz4 (you can see it coming & we were told about 2000 years ago it would come to this)
Just waiting to see how many will be camped out at the "ATM" through the week.
last, will receive the least...just now got the urge
Ukraine is the template.
How long before they go back to the Dracma?
Interesting how eurocrats could not extend thier offer a couple of days and how they acted pre_emptively to not allow greece to participate in eu functions.
They are baring thier pointed teeth and pointed heads for all to see.
There is an grave problem when a soveriegn nation places responsibility for its existence in hand of businessmen and bureacrats.
Financial derivative death by papercut exposure.
The Greeks need the Fergusonians and Baltimorons to show them how to riot.
I'm sure some Greek(s) have a direct line to George Soros.
And in exchange for some Greek-style lessons, Soros would be happy to bus in some Nazis for sure...
too lazy to learn greek
They must not be able to get ZH translated into Greek!
Boggles my mind the Greeks took so long to think about getting their money out of the banks. I guess in a socialist society they figured the government would do it for them, too. Oh, the government will get their money out alright, but not in the way they think.
The Spanish, Portuguese, and Italians are not going to wait until the last minute when it's their turn.
for most people in this world, there is no cash in the bank until it is deposited by an employer or the government .... There is no fucking cash in the mattress and no balance more than about sixty bucks ... so they have no choice but to take the new money
Just wait until Apple iCash banking goes tits up.
Greeks...sheesh.
I guess a fishbowl looks entirely different to a fish.
Don't these people read?
One guy shows up at an ATM painted green like the HULK and it's gonna get ugly.

This is going to be an interesting week to say the least. I salute those who are prepped and can shoot straight. Get ready; the liberal-social-dumb-fucks will be eating each other within a week after the collapse. Too funny.
Lock and load!

Here's my call on how it plays out:
EU says no soup for Greece.
2. fan becomes shitty
3. CHUSSIA steps in with liquidity
4. Game extended for a few more years.
IMF should in the next 100 yesr force every Greek woman between 18 to 50 years of age to volunteer three-year prostitution in US Military bases around the world, every Greek teen assemble iPhones inand every Greek man between 18-68 fight for ZATO in Uk/Russia/South China Sea. "Yws, We Con"
u r sick. really sick.
maybe someone should wish the same fate on the humans in your life.
if there ever were any
sick? fuck no, that's precisely IMF and its owners want. First the Greeks, later entire Europeans need to become their debt slaves or neoEuropeons. FastTrack®© Progress!
"We are now talking about ..pensioners who can not afford to buy bread, of house holds without electricity, of patients who are unable to afford medicine and treatment. And all this within the eurozone."- WHAT DOES EUROPE WANT - ALEXIS TSIPRAS
Is this kind of comentary allowd bu ZH?
I guess your parents were too busy doing those things you wish for others and couldn't find the time to raise you with some basic moral values.
85th Annual Report, 2014/15 <----Read BIS June 26, 2015 release.
Anyway, Lindsey Williams did an interview several years ago stating that one of his contacts, a former CEO of a Major oil company, told him that when you see the Euro collapse people in the U.S. have 2-3 weeks before the Daisey-chain takes the dollar down.
I guess I will end DD from my employer tomorrow and have them send checks to my address on that note.
IMHO, keep the direct deposit and pull cash as fast as it hits the account if you are concerned.
What are you gonna do with a check in your hand four or five days after everyone else got direct deposits and took money out for those days you waited for the mail to show up?
No. IF/when eveything goes to shit not everybody is going to have access to funds as they would like...
What is a check? Everything here is direct deposit. Been that way for over 20 years.
My last employers offered only DD option. This smaller outfit gives us the option of DD or paper check. I am private contractor on this job. But, I see this is why they want cashless society - run on banks would be impossible if cash was outlawed.
Ever hear of running efficient company? Why would any company spend money and personnel in a payroll department cutting checks?
Americans are way behind in everything.
We had wide screen TV's here in 1998 (16:9) and were texting in the middle 90's long before Americans even knew what it is.
There is not ONE company or employer in Europe that pays by check. In fact, we don't have even personal checks/ totally stupid and archaic.
You were texting back in the day because the average plebe could not afford a computer or a data line charge for email. Mobile phones were cheaper to deploy than in the USA because of the small size of the country and concentration of population.You can fart on one border of the Netherlands and smell it on the other side in a minute.
Many Western Europeans have a odd sense of superiority. Personally, I don't think what my country does is inherently better or worse than some other country, and I certainly don't think it somehow makes me superior or smarter than anyone else. Unless I personally created or participated in the creation of a situation or technology, there is nothing for me to take credit for or brag about.
Your statements really just display your ignorance. Each country - culture - nation - region has their own unique situation and conditions.
The Germans invaded Holland on 10 May 1940, total surrender by the Dutch High Command announced on the afternoon of 14 May 1940, signed on the morning of 15 May 1940. Your world can totally change in 5 business days or less.
The Dutch fought the Nazi juggernaut for 10 days. You coward pussies would roll over within 24 hours.
More bullshit and lies. WE had ISDN on Compuserve in Germany in 1994. and lots of people had it. Of course my phone bill averaged about 600 dollars a month. And then came the WWW (invented by a European BTW) and then prices started to come down. We had broadband and fiber optic long before the USA.
Tell me quick, what country offically had the first web site? (its not the USA)
"(invented by a European BTW)"
Most British people would deny they were European. ;) Course it was CERN so can't complain.
I have lived in Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. Americans always talk about innovation but I have seen more innovation living here for 28 years than all the 35 years I lived in the USA.
Why is the USA so slow in implementing new tech to the masses? and why are you against competitio and free markets?
There are over 10 different internet providers here and 8 cell phone companies.
I pay 19 euros a month for fiber optic (no limit) and 10 euros a month for 4G mobile plan.
Why do you have thousands of miles of interstate and can only drive a slow 70 mph? I live 10 minutes from Germany and can cruise legally at 130mph+. on smooth roads , no potholes.
Like I said, I lived 35 years in the USA so you can bullshit me about the USA,
Me me me I I I me me me I I I

Get that stuttering issue looked at.
Oh it's much more than stuttering...
You are a dishonest fuck at that.
It has not been DD for 20 years. Fucking BULLSHIT.
Furthermore the Euro has not even existed for 20 Years.
Bullshit, I lived and worked in Luxembourg in 1998 (before the Euro). everything is direct deposit. Same in Germany and all European countries.\ Even way back to 2003
You know nothing
You call me a dishonest fuck but you are a shit for brains asswipe probably living in an 8x40 in the Useless Snakes
Take a hike, fucktard

Tell you what you ignorant little asswipe. I will put up 10k and bet you that we have had DD for as long as I have been living and work all over Europe. thats since 1990.
Come on , dipshit, put your money where you mouth is.

"Greece, it appears is Venezuela - the new socialist paradise."
why don't you take the day off. your commentary is very naive. must be an exceptional ami, right?
"I want my money"
"Don't worry it is safe"
"So give it to me"
"We can't"
"Because you haven't got it?"
"No, it is safe, don't worry"
"Give it to me"
"We can't"
That folks is why they want a cashless society, so the above conversation no longer takes place, instead it will be bytes ruling for a little while until people discover that the bytes aren't there either.
"It's not your money."
"What do you mean it's not my money?"
"You loaned it to us."
"What? No I deposited it in my bank account!"
"That's what I just said. According to the terms of your loan to us, we don't have to repay you immediately"
"WTF?"
etc etc etc.
Why the FUCK aren't they at home guarding the wheelbarrows!! they will be worth more than the money they carry in it very soon.
The good news in all this, from my selfish perspective, my wife doesn't talk anymore about how we just HAVE to go see the Greek Islands.....it was on her bucket list.
No more.
Thank you Kefi!
My wife said she can't believe the Greek people are that stupid to wait this long in response to what's happening.
Yes dear, yes they are.
I'm pretty sure it's not related to nationality, but a proportion of any population.
The butterfly has flapped its wings.
ASX200 (Australia's to 200 companies) down 2.3% and still falling as I write this.
This is the fate of others too.
When western countries became bankrupted, they always resorted to colonialism(aka looting) of other nations using divide & rule policy, murders, attacks & invasions and the end result was that they carried off (looted) all the treasuries of eastern nations.
Now also America & all its allies are moving towards total bankrupcy , so eastern nations need to be vigilant , remain united. Especially China is advised not to have belligerant & aggressive attitude towards its neighbors and accept the present situation and borders as the reality instead of having dream a bigger China which was 100 years ago or more. The eastern nations lack unity and thats why they look to west resulting in American military bases in east which is a sign of weakness, neo-colonialism and having potential of getting looted.
The eastern nations should keep their nuclear weapons ready if attacked by west. Especially the electronic equipments are vulnerable to EMP & Microwave , so simple weapons which do not require electronics would be more useful & will work in the modern warfare.
I hope the Greeks (and the rest of us for that matter) recognize that their show cannot go on--EVEN IF the troika miraculously about faced, and caved. They are in a hopeless, OWNED position as long as they are party to the EU anathema. Rigid control of member's fiscal matters is Brussels' aim.
They've pitted the other states against Greece to bring coercive peer pressure to bear on a laggard state needing their hard-earned support, when in reality, they're funding the master state who's calling the shots, along with the IMF. They need to realize that (any of them), THEY could be next, as increasingly, the EU is using Greece to amass and concentrate its power to regulate the internal matters of sovereign states. It sees it cannot survive without it.
Like a loan shark expecting "favors" just because you owe them money, the EU actually demands a sovereign state trim pensions (income that fuels sorely-needed consumer spending in Greece--even if from government pensions), and yet has not a single idea how to help that member create NEW income growth from new jobs and industry. Indeed, need creates enslavement; there are no New Deals from the EU for Greece to help wean them from social system dependency, and onto a real growth path that might enable them to retire debt someday.
Nope, just the shackles of bailout debt that will NEVER keep them from needing even more.
Greece needs JOBS, not merely more debt, and they are not some distant, unconnected land...they are a NATO-hosting member of the EU!
Does that mean something, Draghi, Merkel, et al...or NOT?
Why, then, would any member want to be part of your Union?
What purpose does such Union serve beyond Brussels?
Though it will be difficult, I hope Greece is prepared to go all the way with this, and gets the hell out of the EU; it's no good for them or their future. No matter what happens with respect to the troika's hard line, unless they have the courage to break with this madness, they'll never be free.
Would you rather be broke and free, or kept on life support and enslaved?
For the "cradle of democracy", that should be an easy question to answer.

Venezuela Reaches the Final Stage of Socialism: No Toilet Paper ...
You can't make this shit up.
CONTAGION
In the 1990s the Wall Street masters decreed that their front line, the big banks, would control the previously independent smaller banks in countries like Australia (read all over the world because I mention Australia because I am Australian).
Labor Minister Bob McMullen signed the FSIA (Financial Services Industry Agreement) at this time on behalf of Australia and three things happened as a direct result of this secret agreement drawn up by the big banks on Wall Street.
1) ALL our big four Australian banks became foreign owned (read by the big banks on Wall Street)
2) 10s of thousands of bank employees JUST IN AUSTRALIA were fired by new American imported CEOs who were students of the big Wall Street banking systems goals and aspirations
3) when the FIAT system collapses, and it will, it will be because all roads lead to Rome - the big Wall Street Banks - who are a cancer that has now infected the entire FIAT system globally. When they collapse all our banks fail. The leveraging through various financial "tools" is so extreme that all it takes is Greece to refuse to honour its Euro Bonds and the pack of cards will fall. EVERYWHERE - CONTAGION.
The only secure form of money today is physical gold or silver.

El-Erian Sees 85% Grexit Odds as ‘Massive’ Contraction Looms
http://thenewsdoctors.com/?p=474519
People still had money in the banks there???
Not as though Tispras didn't give everybody lots of warning and lots and lots of time to get their money out. He couldn't just say take your money out people, instead he holds the line for a long time giving people ample opporunity to see the obvious.
you can only get money out that has first been deposited by your employer or government
The next best steps...
Greece declares default. Returns to Drachmae.
China Russia (BRICS) provide aid package to Greece and special trade deal.
China 'leases' Greece's gold.
Greece approves Russian pipeline, Chinese port.
"We have seen this before - in Russia recently as the Ruble collapsed and citizens spent any and every piece of currency they had on 'assets'."
In Russia people bought everything they can because RUB lost more than half of it’s value in few days and in every hour it was still losing more value. So that is reason why people in Russia bought everything they can. Because of fear RUB won’t have any value.
But in Greece people buy food and other stuff because of fear that Banking system will collapse and you will have to live with cash you have. But as there is put on limit 60 EUR a day – people don’t have much cash on their hands. So they rush to buy using their debit / credit cards in shops while they can.
So it’s completely different situation than Russia, still ZH as putin regime propaganda channel managed to twist it once again in order to produce manipulation that EURO could collapse because of Greeks existing EURO zone. Actually EURO will get only stronger once it get rid of this ill disease – leftist Greeks who are completely irresponsible in every way possible.
ZH once again proved to be putin regime propaganda channel.
What a fucking moron you are. Fuck all to do with Putin. All about the fucking filthy pointless worthless shitty tat thats the euro coupon. It's days are numbered now as it is bound to reduced to the shit soaked pieces of garbage it always was
CNNoutlet please do us a favor: put a stick in your outlet and STFU.
If I were Greek with a hoard of Euros i would convert them into Swiss frncs as soon as the banks reopened, because the value of the Euro is heading south. Greece was only one of the "PIIGS".
On Grexit how soon do 'they' call for countries to pledge gold as backing for the euro?
.
2 months....tops.
Long Euro will SUFFER ! This baby will make huge fortunes for those that have half a brain.
If people had any sense they would be raiding EU ATMs ... nuclear meltdown
RE
That is probably the worst thing he could of said.
lol at "socialist paradise". That would imply the Greeks actually have control over their country and their finances.
mass transit is going to be free in Athens all week long up until the referendum
What you're seeing here are pictures and videos of "the zombies". They haven't gone rabid yet by the looks of it, but it's only a matter of time and degree.
Prepare for a false flag. I'm betting it'll be a European airliner shot down and blamed on Russia. The banksters will get their war and have an excuse to get the people's minds off the soon to come trillion Euro bailout on their behalf.
This has all been prophesied in the book of Revelation. Woe to those who saw the signs yet did not take heed.
You are a fucking lunatic. Okay, dipshit, what airline did ''Revelations'' say would be shot down?
SMDH at you imbecile gullible fucktards.
There is no panic that I have witnessed. People going about their business. Most know this is a political maneuver by EU. The shitty thing is the 24/7 propaganda on the TV and by politicians and the journalists they own. Will this be enough to sway a YES vote? That is a question everyone is asking.
There are fools of course in every group, so there are fools who are preparing for Armeggedon now by trying to empty shelves and gas stations (hint: you had at the least 5 months to prepare you fucking morons, now is not the time). These are the fools everyone is worried about that might vote yes.
The masks have fallen: you can see who is part of the corrupt old guard by their venomous reactions and voting against democratic expression through referendum: New Democracy, Pasok, Potami, KKE the so-called communists. Those for: Syriza, Anel, Golden Dawn.
How many months, and years, have they had opportunity to dig up dirt on Tsipras? And not a single thing can they find. Not even a hint of scandal. People notice this.

Ezekiel 7:19, bitchez!
i prefer the 25:17 quoted in pulp fiction :
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

As close to the end as you are, you shouldn't be antagonizing Him.
He warned those with hard hearts like yours that when the time comes, he won't know you.
He?? sure its not a she? Man, your brain is fried.
Hard hearts? Says the Christer who supports killing innocent people around the globe.
Keep believing your fairytales. I know the TRUTH and its NOT what you believe.
He is anothey myth you believe. ''There are no atheists in foxholes''. Pure bullshit. I never once prayed to some invisible guy in the sky when under fire in Vietnam. (71-72).
Recently there was a BBC documentary about D-day landing and interviews with survivors (Brits). They asked if they prayed to some god. They said NO, they didn't. They said the guys shaking in their boots praying caught bullets right between the eyes.
You have a lot to learn and I doubt you have an interest in learning. There is no such place as heaven and hell. They are life conditions everyone has within them. One person can be in hell on a nice sunny day and the person standing next to him could be in 'heaven'' (tranquility).
Its a shame you guys stop questioning and learning about life ., Instead look to some phoney hoax book written by Jews for answers.,
I can only imagine what it will look like in the USA when it is our turn. Imagine this stuff with an armed population!! These folks are total fools. The time to stock up is long before you get to this point. If you had any substantial money in the banks when we get to this point you might be one of the dumbest people on the planet.
The USA will suffer a simular fate. You simply can not have an $18 trillion dollar debt and not get to this point. Stock up and stack up now. When the sheep figure out that it is game over, it is to late. Use the 3B plan, Beans, Bullets, Bullion.
Seriously guys,,, get into bullion as soon as you can..while its still affordable ..this shit is comming to a town near you soon
