Greeks Take To The Streets To Protest Brussels "Blackmail" - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Thousands of Greeks have once again taken to the streets in a show of solidarity as PM Alexis Tsipras attempts to rally support in Parliament for a deal with creditors that looks nearly identical to the proposal the Greek people voted against last weekend.

If all goes according to Tsipras' plan, the deal will be pushed through at a Eurogroup meeting on Saturday in Brussels and the PM will have officially sold out the voters who just last Sunday rallied behind his impassioned (and perhaps disingenuous) plea for a "no" vote.

With youth unemployment rate at 50+% this will not be a peaceful acceptance no matter which way it goes.  Greeks must ask themselves if their future is better off with some measured austerity (which will happen one way or the other) or with civil unrest that could easily escalate into full scale civil war?   The results of the later will surely bring in outsiders to quell the destruction. 

The "vote" was a mistake as it let the people believe they had a choice.  Well, they did, but someone forgot to tell them a "NO" vote meant "NO" money and "NO" plan to survive without it. So just what was that vote really about?  The Greek people are being jerked around by both sides and unforunately they will face tougher times than now.

 

Here are the key points of Greece's purposals (self imposed austerity):

Let me get this straight. The people said NO.  The govt is not doing what the people said in a supposed democracy.  Thus the people are gathering so they can go into the offices of these traitors and kick them out, but the traitors call out the goon squads against the people.  This is not a democracy.  If it was these politicians would either willingly leave the offices if they disagree with the people, or be thrown out the windows.

For them to get jobs, there have to be jobs.  Granted the socialist governments Greece voted in have assured there will be no jobs.  However that does not change the facts that there are no jobs.

Substitute voting for fascists instead of socialists and then it's "Same for the U.S."

Washington will do anything, including “overthrow or assassination,” to keep the Greeks as “vassals” and prevent them from cozying up to the Russians. And the unspoken implication of that idea is this: if the EU and Greece fail to come to terms like Washington demands, Washington will follow through on their threats of overthrow/assassination to keep their “empire” from collapsing.

The Greeks need to create a Tsipras statue.  In order to shame olympic cheaters, statues (Zanes) were erected and their bad deeds described.

During the 98th Olympics, in 388 B.C. a boxer named Eupolus bribed his 3 opponents to let him win. The Hellanodikai fined all four men. The fines paid for a row of bronze statues of Zeus with inscriptions explaining what had happened. These 6 bronze statues were the first of the zanes.

The Romans used the system of damnatio memoriae to purge the memory of despised men. Egyptians did something similar [see Hatshepsut], but the Greeks did virtually the opposite, memorializing the names of miscreants so their example couldn't be forgotten.

Varoufakis article @theguardian 

EXTRACT:

Debt restructuring was our aim: little did we know, when we embarked on negotiations, that Grexit might be a goal for eurozone leaders

 

Our government was elected on a mandate to end this doom loop; to demand debt restructuring and an end to crippling austerity. Negotiations have reached their much publicised impasse for a simple reason: our creditors continue to rule out any tangible debt restructuring while insisting that our unpayable debt be repaid “parametrically” by the weakest of Greeks, their children and their grandchildren.

In my first week as minister for finance I was visited by Jeroen Dijsselbloem, president of the Eurogroup (the eurozone finance ministers), who put a stark choice to me: accept the bailout’s “logic” and drop any demands for debt restructuring or your loan agreement will “crash” – the unsaid repercussion being that Greece’s banks would be boarded up.

This is why Syriza has failed. When you go into negotiations, you better have a fallback plan, otherwise you are just bluffing with nothing as your hole card. The proper response would have been to develop at least a stopgap plan to recapitalize the banks outside the Troika on an interum basis, even if much of that recapitilization was smoke and mirrors. The goal should have been to at least provide the illusion to the Greek people that the Greek banks were secure oustide of the Troika. Failing that, Syriza had no leverage and only demands, and no banker is going to be coerced by that. On the flip side, the Troika hole card was always known as it was the destruction of the Greek banks and Greek economy. So if you didn't have a better hole card, you are fucked. I would have cozied up to the Russians, China and the BRICS from day one to use them to kick the can, instead of letting the Troika keep kicking my ass.

Lyrics:

While you were sleeping
They came and took it all away
The lanes and the meadows
The places where you used to play

It was an inside job
By the well-connected
Your little protest
Summarily rejected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Chalk it up
To business as usual

While you were dreaming
This little island disappears
While you are looking the other way
They'll take your right to own your own ideas

And it's an inside job
Favors collected
Your trusted servants
Have left you unprotected

It was an inside job
Like it always is
Just chalk it up
To business as usual

You think that you're so smart
But you don't have a fucking clue
What those men up in the towers
Are doing to me and you

And they'll keep doin' it and doin' it
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Doin' it, doin' it, doin' it
Until we all wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

I know what I've done wrong
I am acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is
To always walk out in the light

And it's an inside job
To learn about forgiving
It's an inside job
To hang on to the joy of living

They know the road by which you came
They know your mother's maiden name
And what you had for breakfast
What you've hidden in the mattress

Insect politics
Indifferent universe
Bang your head against the wall
But apathy is worse

It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job
Yeah, yeah

It's an inside job
It's an inside job
It's an inside job

It's an inside job
It's an inside job

Just keep funding your trips to the casino with credit cards, you'll hit it big someday and be able to pay the whole thing off. x20 trillion.

It would be beyond comedic if an entire nation's people weren't involved.  Try telling Visa that they're blackmailing you because they want payments on your purchases and btw, you want your credit limit increased.  Insanity abounds

Is Tspris the biggest pussy on the planet?  First he calls a referendum because he can't make a decision, then he let's his finance minister resign because Varofoukis made somebody mad, and now he stabs his own people in the back.  

This kind of spineless cave-in would make no backbone Boehner proud.

It actually looks like Varofarkis resigned (with a face saving explanation) because Tsipras was insisting on doing a deal at any cost and ignoring the referendum result and Varofakis wanted no part of that.

Recall Goldman Sachs prior opinion (directive) on the on the referendum and fate of Greece:

"A Yes vote followed by a departure of Tsipras and Varoufakis will be the most favorable to markets."

The banksters are going to get their way, one way or another. It just isn’t happening in quite the order Goldman seemed to imply.

Are these the same people that produced Leonidas, Aristotle, Alexander? Rhetorical, I suppose, since we're no longer the same people that produced Washington, Adams, Franklin. I guess Will Durant was right:

 

“A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.” -W. Durant

Most modern Greeks are Slavs and Albanians, with some Turkish thrown in.  Look at an ancient Greek statue. It will look like, dare I say it, a German (Nordic anyway).  Look at most Greek people today, they look like they are Slavs, Albanians, and some Turkish.   Most of the ancient Greek blood was wiped out or highly diluted by massive invasions after 300 BC.  That's why you don't hear much about Classical Greek Civilization after 300 BC.  It no longer existed.

The Greeks have maintained a racial type. They look neither like Turks, Albanians or Slavs but something different. Better to say the Western and central Anatolian Turks are more mixed with indigenous and Hellenic blood. Classic Hellenic culture is the core of Christian/European man. Rome gave us law, the Greeks culture/introspection and the Jew religious intolerance.

I mentioned a week or two ago that a military coup will likely occur backed by the US.  This will likely be followed by a civil war, where Russia arms the insurgents.  Stuff like this has happened before in Greece.

Tsipras turns out to be a total backstabbing turd stooge

Varoufakis is the only one with real integrity
(also a brilliant economist who says it like it is)

It doesn't take genius to know that more debt doesn't fix a debt problem.

No they couldnt plan this for Saturday or Sunday, it has to be working day of course.

On a different note, it seems people are painting Mr. Tsipras as some sort of traitor who folded, selling out to Brussels etc. so let me get you straight:

He did NOT changed. He may have signed for Brussels demands, but those will not be honored. This is nothing new, previous bailouts also required much more than was done, in fact most of it was never done. This time is same, he "fold", country receive bailout but most of the structural changes will never happen.
