Greeks Flood Syntagma Square To Celebrate "No" Vote
The Greek people have spoken and they said "OXI"!
So congratulations Greece: for the first time you had the chance to tell the Troika, the unelected eurocrats, and the entire status quo establishment, not to mention all the banks, how you really felt and based on the most recent results, some 61% of you told it to go fuck itself.
Now, on the eve of a new era for Europe and what will likely be a turbulent stretch for financial markets across the globe, Greeks are celebrating in the streets of Athens. Here are the visuals:

Congratulations.
Where do they get the money to celebrate?
They print a drachma, we visit and spend money at their islands.
time for the silver Drachma:

Easy to get laid tonight.
Zumbody no like to partiiiiii???
Pinto, great link!
unfortunate they referred to hugo salinas price as "julio" salinas price
Stack - I think silver money is coming and it will be unstoppable.
Gold will be for big ticket items.
The Greeks who say, "Nicht!"
Well played Greece!
Who would have predicted that the Greeks had more guts than the Scottish...
Greeks have the guts for democracy, Scots have the guts for haggis.
Well, there'll be some schnitzel fits being thrown in Berlin tonight, Congrats Greece, Opa!
*THIS IS SPARTA!!!*

Ironically, the electoral district containing Sparta has the smallest margin between Yes and No votes - 2.54%. The final figures are 51.17% No, 48.83% Yes
Pro-unionists in Scotland had too much time to sow lies and fears into undecided Scots
Leonidas lives!
May I ask you who counted the votes in the land of Hero William Wallace? I bet diebold or some subsidiary was!!
The no vote means that corruption will be more localized and easier to handle.
This is just great news. Make yourself a Greek salad; find the nearest Greek restaurant and have a good meal. Adopt a Greek teenager. Foster a Greek family. What many of you have always wanted to do the Greeks have done - in spite of the naysayers and poisonous misinformation campaign before the vote.
Pats on the back all around!
Congratulations.
So if any beleaguered Greeks feel enslaved and frightened of the EU and want a better life, will Obie welcome them through Mexico with open arms or do they need visas?
Serious Question
Obie loves anyone who isn't a natural born citizen. Easier entry through Puerto Rico.
Another serious question. Heard anything about PR? Are they really gonna let the Munie Funds get gobsmacked with this thing? Mucho Dinero.
That's a story that will be quashed until it really blows up.
Really? Taking a boat to Puerto Rico is easier than crossing the border? That route is only open to Dominicans, and even so, crossing the Mona Passage is tougher than getting to the Keys from Cuba?
Not physically. Puerto Ricans are treated as citizens, and East Florida is full of them, so from a paper trail perspective, could be. Not that anyone is watching the border anywhere at present.
So U.S. citizens can't move? That is news to me. I guess you could petition Congress to revoke future citizenship in Puerto Rico, but as those people already moved and are current US citizens they never crossed a border, nor would you be able to kick them out. Deal with it.
You do know because Puerto Ricans are citizens they also have to register for selective service, and when it was in place they were drafted.President Obama honored the nation's only all-Puerto Rican military unit with one of the nation's highest honors Tuesday.
Obama signed a measure Tuesday giving the 65th Infantry Regiment, known as the Borinqueneers, the Congressional Gold Medal. The regiment served in World War I, World War II and the Korean War.
"PUERTO RICANS!!! They always made the best infantry men!" - Lt. Col. Frank Slade
I haven't heard diddly squat about PRs in muni funds.
Would seem to me that Most of the Regular Investment Grade funds would not have owned them as PR has always been considered a iffy strange inbred sorta lotta slush fund activity credit. I mean no ill will with that comment. It is what it is.
Now, high yield muni funds would be where the PR holdings be held, or Insurance companies, etc., booking yield especially at times such as these with low rates.
Also understand that LOTS of hedgies, the Big Risk spec guys are who owns 'em thinking that bailout is a sure thing. They were betting on Greece caving, as well.
But PR is a US deal, they be fellow citizens (they be us, mofo) and Greece be the EU
BTW for those wondering, no, the US military does not have any major active duty presence of serious consequence in PR anymore
Thanks knucks.
I always find silence velly interesting;)
Oppenheimer is on the hook for $4.5 billion, mostly in their Rochester Group of funds.
Read their recent mea culpa and see if they don't sound like the Troika's mini-me:
Current News on the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico from June 30th.
The one big difference is that Oppenheimer and Franklin can get the rules changed to thier advantage (that's what bribes are for), so laws are not necessarily an impediment to them making money on PR bonds.
NO. Of COURSE not!
If they are Muslim gang-banging disease-ridden scum-of-the-earth welfare-leech scum-sucking maggot-gay Negro Greeks who traffic drugs for the CIA-sponsored cartels (or the offspring of the same) with no education and no hope of attaining responsibility for their actions (and no 'sponsors'), then exceptions MIGHT be made, though.
SERIOUS ANSWER.
i would gladly trade 10 of you for 1 of them, montgomery.
stupid nazi.
Italy and Spain nexit.
how cool would it be to see a fully dressed Spartan on a white horse running through the square.
Sure would appear that way.
Perhaps quite quickly actually.
Now, hopefully we start the hard path to conquer back our freedom!

They're celebrating with courage today, not money.
How does Liesman, Cramer, Pisani, and the CNBC crew spin this as positive in the morning? No doubt they will but it will take some effort on their part.
Fed won't raise rates now. Probably QE4 next week. Duh.
Nah, I'm pretty sure they will continue to say how stupid the people are, don't know what's good for them, ignorant hayseeds, not from NYC, etc.

Scorpions - Wind Of ChangeNOTHING will come of this. Have you learnt nothing from how the EU views member states democratic rights.. 'There is NO exit route'.
I was worried that it was going to be close enough for the banksters to be able to pull off some electoral shenanigans of one kind or another. But with margins like this, it can't be faked without resorting to the kind of obvious vote-rigging treachery generally associated with third-world despots. My heartfelt congratulations to the people of Greece for speaking out so clearly and unmistakably against the illegal, illegitimate and odious debts that have been inflicted upon them, and may the international banksters choke to death on all of their bad paper.
There's a little Greek in all of us. We all stand with Greece today.
This is an OXImoron.
Speak for yourself. Just because the IMF and ECB are evil doesn't make the Greeks the good guys. A nation of parasites who want something for nothing.
The New York Stock Exchange will open Monday at the AM.
Have no idea what happens after that but I don't think "Greece" will be on their "radar."
The Banksters want the Greeks to hand over entire Greek islands, in exchange for 1s and 0s created out of thin air. Now, who exactly wants something for nothing?
Absolutely true, but everybody now knows the emperor is naked and has a very small penis. The Greeks aren't the only fuck ups, but now the EU will have to deal with the entire Mediterranean welfare state they, with full malice aforethought, created.....
Those in gossamer houses...should have more respect for the $221T in unfunded liabilities the USG has on its books. That's alot of something for nothing.
Yeah.... I suppose they are .... just like nearly every other Western nation. Folks everywhere are about to learn that the price of something for nothing is very high.
No more austerity in Greece, or anywhere!
Instead what?
Debt financed consumption?
Been there done that. Doesn't work, sorry to say. It's like the Perpetuum Mobile. Wishful thinking doesn't make it so.
Again.... anything financed by debt pushes the pain out to a further date.. preferably on to later generations - your children, my children. It's a zero sum game someone has to pay. Preferably not you, but your children, preferably not the Greek but the Fins, Dutch, Austrians and Germans. How's that for solidarity? The easy way out in the NOW is the coward's and egoist's way. Bottom line: in the long run you can only spend what you earn. Anything else is stupid hokus pokus. If you believe in that crap, Krugman's bullshit is that way ------>
You think Greece with a full 100% debt haircut will be debt free in 20 years? lulz... thanks for the daily dose of laughter.
btw... austerity as a term gets thrown around alot. Do you actually know what real austerity is? Because it doesn't exist in places like Greece and the UK, that are still running WAY over budget. REAL austerity would imply running a budget surplus. Which isn't even close in either country.
"...in the long run you can only spend what you earn. Anything else is stupid hokus pokus."
What you said. Anything else is proggie bullshit. Proggie bullshit,,,,oops I repeat myself, that's redundant.
All over Athens, €60 parties were had.
Should be doable. Having tasted Ouzo, it CAN'T cost very much......
Well it does beat the heck out of trying to swallow Metaxatm which is their excuse for brandy. At least I think thats what they were trying to make..
When in Greece, go with either the various wines, or the very hard stuff like tsikoudia or Raki ( local moonshines).
They should leave the in between stuff to those who've known how the last 10 centuries - the Scots and the Irish.
OXIclean removes all the debt in one application
Godspeed to those rebels
How long before the u.s. starts bombing them?
lol...good one Brownie. HEY, YAH..WHAT THE HECK!! IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR POWER IS STILL ON!!

now, all u bitch ass americunts - what u gonna do for urselves?????
Probably not take someone who refers to them as bitch ass americunts seriously for starters.
must have touched a sensitive bone...
and yet, u still responded...
i'll up vote u so u can continue believing u said something that actually mattered...
USA! USA! USA!....
u probalbly celebrate the 4th too....
Take your meds, kiddo.
another bold and enlightening statement...
ur on a roll kiddo...
The average American has absolutely no clue as to what's happening in Greece, nor do they care.
and that was my point that obviously some mother fuckers in the US would prefer not to be called out on...
the Greeks finally stepped up...in the US they can tell u who won the Hot Dog eating contest but if u try to give an american a 10 ounce Silver bar for ten dollars they run away...
an on and on and on...
so keep down voting mother fuckers cause its all good with me...
Watch out for CIA snipers on the roof like they did in Kiev. Get the special forces out now in case this happens!
Greece stood up to the bully and knocked him on his ass!
Make Greek Drachmas from Silver and Gold, that will piss them off!! Arrest any CIA looking characters.
beautiful thought...
which will get you killed even before you can start to implement that plan. the global surveillance grid is there for a reason. this is insane.

The Greek people have put a stake into the ground saying No More.
This will ripple back through all western capital markets and cannot be papered over. If this is the beginning of the end of western elites plowing and plundering then good riddance.
If the euro does indeed "burn" here...somebody is out trillions and trillions...
This entire process has cost the world trillions in evaporated stock values AND it is just the begining. The greedy rich can now watch as the planet reevaluates the current system which is run by thieves like henry kissinger.
Just keep this in mind when talking about the oligarch thieves: Kissenger is one of the more pragmatic ones. A lot of the rest of the ones in the US are fucking insane and wouldn't think twice about taking us to war with Russia.
Spanish general election in December as well.
Thats sounds like Charlie Daniels' fiddle to me. Well done people of greece. Send him our way now and he can see if he does any better here.
That was the Cretan lyre if I'm not mistaken. I've been there. Cretan are the Texans of Greece. I think German paratroopers in WWII had some bad experiences there...
If they try to write histoiy books about me. They will find a differential equation. On the one hand, we torutred some folks, so we should give $600 per unit to the voters so some people can keep on getting on. All I got was a Tshirt and $43 dollars. Timah, the IMF, and Lois learner will fix it.

great idea. moussaka for dinner this week for sure.
Greece just gave the World a great gift of the second coming of a sovern democracy. Thank you, to the people of Greese. The Troika has been mortally wounded. It's goung to get real messy from here.
There's going to be a national hangover tomorrow.
I am utterly opposed to the everything leftists like Tsipras and his party stand for, but on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend I can only say that today the Greeks deserve huge respect for showing 1000% more balls than the populace of any other country in standing up to the corrupt and criminal EU establishment. Well played my Greek friends, well played.
and to think as of yet no one has down voted u...probably cause u left out any reference to "americans"...
well said, and nicely put sir...
we voted no, so now the evil bankers will fill the banks with euros because we have to celebrate
right?!?
silly greeks, voting is for fools
Soros, that you?
Soros, that you?
No silly. Soros died a while back. Wait..he's still...DAMN!!!

63% of vote counted, NO increased to 61.4%. It's done.

Well done to the people of Greece, the birthplace of democracy who have just resurrected it when it was nearly dead!
62% of the vote counted at last check, NO holding above 61%. Almost 6% of the ballots are "invalid/blank" according to the Ministry of Interior. So 6% of the voting public couldn't figure out Yes or No but showed up to vote?
No!
Voting ''invalid'' was the official position of the Communist Party, about 4,5%.The rest may come from voter errors plus some people intentionally choosing ''invalid''
Stand by for the global banksters to media blitz how terrible is the plight of them that said "NO!"
Only the brain dead will fall for it, but they will!
The TEA PARTY, the current administration, and the commies are not pleased.

Congratulations to the people of Greece....I'm glad I didn't have money riding on this one as I had the results completely backwards...anyway a brave new world awaits the Greeks so make the most of this opprtunity that will likel;y never be seen again in Greece.
I'D LOVE TO SEE THE MALE/FEMALE DEMOGRAPHICS ON THE VOTE.
GOOD TO SEE THE YOUNG GIVE THE FINGER TO THE OLIGARCHS.
The Greeks taught us democracy and justice, they are now reteaching us these basic concepts.
The world changed today. It will never be the same again. Greeks voted no. There is something Biblical about what is happening - from Spain, Italy and Greece looping around the Mediterranean Ocean to Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya we have a huge CRESCENT shaped region of civil chaos and anarchy. All world wars have originated in Europe and it looks like Germany will, once again, be central to this next one. The power-hungry German leader Merkel (read ECB) and the equally power-hungry French leader of the IMF, Christine Legard, have opened up a real can of worms - ie FIAT money is now clearly exposed to be a merciless tool for big banks and the banking families to oppress the mainstream population for their own benefit. The Internet allowed people to bypass the controlled mainstream media - the elite took too long to recognise this and to have it censored. FIAT money has no REAL value it is an ill-conceived concept based on FAITH and TAXES alone it is a PONSI SCAM - the Greeks have killed this concept today in one referendum. In my view it is a good idea to buy a few months supply of basic food stuffs and necessities like canned beans, rice, sugar, salt, tea, powdered milk - it will never go wasted even if FIAT does not collapse. If you can buy physical gold and silver do so because it is real money. Have drinking water supplies, batteries to run a radio, candles and lighters because IF FIAT collapses globally your local grocery store will be emptied in a few hours and looting will become common place even in places like Canada, US and France. Better to be prepared than the majority who suddenly discover the world has changed in the event FIAT collapses and their shelves are bare.
meh, wishful thinking.
The late Alan Bond (who won the America's cup for Australia in the 1980s) said "If you owe the banks a few thousand dollars then they have you by the short and curlies BUT if you owe them hundreds of millions of dollars then YOU have THEM by the short and curlies".
Greece owes 500 billion - a debt they can legally write off leaving the bond holders with toilet paper.
Guess who owns who
GO GREECE!!!!!
Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
Well done. Democracy retaken. The problem is now though that if Greece should default on its debts, that it will be the EU taxpayer that has to foot the bill cause they -without them being asked- are guarantees to the bailout of Greece of 2012 aka "the bailout of Germans and French banks that made bad investments in Greece". These EU taxpayers will be pissed off and if they understand what happened they will ventilate their anger against these banks and against the EU overlords in Brussel and Frankfurt.
They should get one of those suicidal banksters to jump off of a building for them.
Congrats Greece for choosing the shorter way for recovery.
Eat, drink, laugh, party, dance till you can because whats coming is a tsunami. A tsunami which is going to destroy the entire economy, lives, jobs, education, infrastructure, health, corruption is coming, and is going to turn the Greeks one against another. Suicides, prostitution, drugs, unemployment will rise and opportunities will disappear.
And before you start recovering you will sell your ports, islands, and souls. Just then you will start recovering!
After €400 B of other people's money already spent, there actually is no other way, no matter the referendum result. This just influences the timing a little bit... Maybe. The rest of the bankrupt world is about to follow... Soon enough.
Thats what I ment. It is shorter way to recovery, but also as much painfull, and will take at least a decade (may be two) of poverty.
You underestimate the Greeks. The items you mentioned have already been experienced by being in the jew created EU. Goldman Sachs is lucky that they are located in jew york shitty because the Greeks, when told that it was them that sold Greece a planned shitty deal, would hang them all. http://www.realjewnews.com/?p=482
When the jews are finished using America for world destruction/domination, they will let the $19Trillion plus tsunami ride on in. So "eat, drink, laugh, party, dance" at the "up for whatever" faggot marriage city, usa!
"When the jews are finished using America for world destruction/domination, they will let the $19Trillion plus tsunami ride on in."
........................
Absolutely agree, it is coming to the rest of the western world pretty soon, but that will lead to even worse depression in Greece.
