G-Pap Demands Referendum To Rescue Plan, Seems Set To Throw In The Towel
It appears the Greek leader has had it, and is officially throwing in the towel, leaving his citizens to tell Europe to shove their perpetual bank rescue plan, via Bloomberg:
- PAPANDREOU SAYS NEW GREEK PLAN MUST BE PUT TO REFERENDUM
- PAPANDREOU SAYS GREEKS CALLED ON TO CHOOSE ON COUNTRY'S COURSE
- PAPANDREOU SAYS CALLS FOR VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON POLICIES
- PAPANDREOU SAYS GREEK DECISION WILL BIND ALL POLITICAL PARTIES
- PAPANDREOU SAYS REJECT ELECTIONS AT THIS TIME
Naturally, with scenes like this one from last week, don't expect a glowing Greek endorsement of abdicating national sovereignty to the European superstate. In fact, expect the opposite. And with that, preparations for a Greek exit from the Euro and Eurozone begin in earnest. Needless to say, Deutschland is not too happy.

meanwhile back in the United States of Corporations, Spiegel Online (Germany) looks at if America has Become an Oligarchy (yes!)
http://www.fundmymutualfund.com/2011/10/spiegel-has-america-become-oligarchy.html
Turns out that there are lies, damn lies, accounting lies and the worst of all - Greek lies.
G-Pap just got his ass "saved" and now he wants to put the decision up for referendum? This is trully getting more absurd with every day. If only Jonathan Swift were alive today.
I have been running the popcorn machine pretty hard now for months. Looks like I will have to buy a new one...

Papcorn?
I am pleased, I hope the Greeks vote the rescue package down and declare their exit from Eurozone. Then the whole Euro-prison can collapse and national currencies and national responsibilities can be re-established over the current leeching system.
It won't be fun for the Southern Europe, though, or to the banks and investors who have invested there. Better put your Euro investments in Northern European countries now.

GRIECHENLAND ANSCHLUSS!!!
And in France: Maginot Line re-activated, and crash re-forestation project in the Ardennes.
OPA! PAPANDREOU.. jack ass
Who would want to run that shithole? The Germans? lol
Yeah G-spot probably got death threats and finally realizes that he better do what the people wants, not what the bankers want.
Which ones? The German or Greek ones?
I think I'd go with Rabelais; this is getting Gargantuan. Milestones
I think he found out how much he is giving up by taking their plan. He wants the people to say F it and default pure and simple.
Good riddance, Greece.
nice tits, but not so sure on the comment
your analogy fails me... leading a horse to water is to lead a horse to sustainability. leading greece to accept another bailout is to lead greece to death. how do the two compare?
Will you say good riddance when Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy follow suit? They will you know as there is no alternative short of total debt jubilee
Absolutely, baghead. Let them go, if they wish to do so. Why would anybody throw more money after these...? It would lead to a painful decade but it will also be very cleansing.
I for one produce enough milk to stay afloat...!
Much like Socrates, the horse was lead to drink hemlock. Turning and running may not have been a bad idea.
Yes, if they want to keep their various PONZIs running, they better do it in Olives, Ouzo and Drachma than playin' with hard money... I'd say gogogo, but I fear Merkozy will come up with some new accounting trick...
G-Pap was born in the good ole USA (Minnesota). He was educated in the USA. His mother is American, not Greek. He seems to think in English, as it is often noted that he makes mistakes when speaking Greek. So I would say his lies, and I believe there have been plenty, are grade A American.
Referendum vote held = austerity fails = Greece declares bankruptcy = All major banks collapse = economy goes down = local barter economy surfaces
YEAH!!! Let's get it on!
Good thing I know how to make cheese.... stuff will be like gold!!

HaHa Yes!

...so glad I don't have kids. An ugly world awaits them.
Brace for impact, perhaps - looks like this might FINALLY be it.
I second this. My chick wanted to have kids. I told her to look around at this grossly overpopulated shithole of a planet, and asked, "are you fucking crazy"?
Planet"s not going to be overpopulated for long. Once people start viewing other people as a food source.
Soylent Greek!
She will be happy to overpopulate the world with somebody else... you determination is a non-sequitur.
Problem is, most smart, kind people think like this, leaving the world to be populated with tons of half wits and sociopaths.
Beat up your significant others uterus, and make the world a better place.
... = markets go up (?)
the markets seem to be assuming this is purely political rhetoric, but if it ends up being substantive its huge. he wouldn't leave this decision in the hands of the citizens who are sure to vote no unless he had a plan for negotiating a larger haircut. i then wonder how far they can go before this default... i mean haircut is no longer voluntary.
I think I will trust the markets on this one. He may just be buying time-- All the other parties in Parliament have been calling for early elections. A referendum, and a postponement of it, and further postponement of it, will give him plenty of time to sell what is left of Greece.

100% haircut here we coooommmme! And next: Italy 50% haircuts.....now that Greece is outta the way, they might as well go for their own hair trim.
I got a new one....
=======================================FUCK THE EUROZONE====================================================
It's already fucked.
And with that, preparations for a Greek German exit from the Euro and Eurozone begin in earnest.
FIFY.
Man, I never do that! I think it's the first time for me, in fact. A "strikethrough" virgin.
Was I good? LOL
Huh? No coverage anywhere else. Instead, we are treated to the BlowHorn [CNBC]analysis of Bob Pisani, which seems to begin and end at, "Italian bonds over 6% is not a magical thing." But accounting fraud earnings pixie dust is?
Really Bob? How about that rate on long dated US T bills...in about thirty days when the unconsititutional Super Committee fails to acheive...anything?
How the hell does Bob "hedge fund parrot" Pisani still have a job? Is his primary qualification his lack of curiosity?
Bob Pisani is one of those dudes that thinks he's still back in 1987 covering the crash.
He overplays his hand each and every fucking day and I'm tired of his nonsense.
Too many CNBC bitches and not enough slaps to go around.
No coverage anywhere else?
The BBC headline story is.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/
The Greeks are figuring the shit out... 75% debt reduction proposal up next.
No way people accept the ``rescue plan``...
What they should do is a referendum on ``Do we stay in the Euro or not?``...
Today's the day for Greek appearances, it seems:
ISDA Says 50% Greek Bond Haircut "Appears" Voluntary
It appears the Greek leader has had it
He's pissed he cannot collect on his long CDS bets...
Good. He should have put it to a vote a year ago. The Greeks will of course reject this package, and DOWN GOES FRASIER- whoops, I mean- DOWN GOES THE EURO.
Just curious, but when he says "Greeks must choose" what he really means is "Greek Politicians (lackeys) must choose". No?
How will this change from before?
LOL
Not even the perma-cheerleading BlowHorn [CNBC] carried this story...to my knowledge.
The death of all credibility, be it in markets, currencies, or integrity of word...is a slow and painful thing...until it isn't...and comes then the plunging and screaming.
the gpap family needs more time to smuggle all of the greek gold out of country, gold that it has stolen from the greek people. so gpap calls for a vote from the sheep. yep, stalling for time............
Plenty of ships to hide the gold...
Massive spate of boating [shipping] accidents to occur as Greek ships barely float.
Greece will leave EZ, and maybe stay in EU. They will default on 100% of private GGB. This will bring their Debt/GDP to something like 80% which will be manageable, if they get their shit together.
Paging that little Frenchman....
80 percent debt /gdp ratio is manageable? how can this be? you are dreaming. no way.......it is over for greece justl like it over for us. we are greece, soon enough....
What will not be paid, won't be paid. Debt is just a promise. Of course, consequences from the lenders will follow. Which probably will mean, that while being free of most debt, you'll be isolated and on your own.
A lot of things are doable. Most of them are "politically impossible" in what nowadays is called politics.
i think all of this stuff is happening now for a reason. it may be fixable but it won't be fixed. it really isn't about politics. imho. it is a time of the world in which we live in. certain individuals , in multi generational plans conceived long ago, have been working to achieve the goal, one world government. they are close now. so close they can taste it. they want it. they want it badly. it is our job to stop them.
being frozen out of debt markets is a huge part of the solution for over indebted people, corporations, or states. This forces the entity to live within its means and develop sustainable spending habits.
G-Pap will be missed by some. But the sheer volume will insure he gets hit.
It will be very difficult for the 'Greek on the street' to continue with the EU...The politicians and the plebs are two different entities with diverging motivations...This is a mess...Buy Gold.................
Apparently 50% haircut was not enough and it only affected private investors.
Not ECB which has bought a lot of greek debt.
BTW, what is the name of the Greek finance minister, Kleptopopoulos?
The Greeks will vote in favor of the EU and the bailouts. A majority of them supports the austerity, because they want an end to all the nepotism and spoiling of taxpayers' money. So no crisis, collapse, meltdown, Armageddon. Boring world we live in.
bullshit. a majority of Greeks livelihood comes from the spoils.
Absolutely, what are the Greek 'social service' going to say when they can't retire at 55 and now it's 70!!!!

Nothing... everything is in acceleration-flipflop-mode! But approaching climax hopefully soon!
Maybe first you will indeed be right, I give you that. But very shortly after that you will be VERY WRONG!
If they use Diebold voting machines, sure, you betcha!
this is the end of the euro, good bye and welcome back the 'Deutsche Mark'

Yes, plenty of pain coming to Greece, then the rest of Europe, then to us. Let's hope that we do not too much violence over here, but when the chips start coming down, there will be a LOT of angry people, looking for scapegoats.
By that time, Corzine will have left on his Gulfstream...

This kind of news along with MF would have sent the market down 15% in one day a few weeks ago. Somehow now this blowup is having no effect, wow the markets are down 1%. Crude barely dropped as well, WTF is going on.
I guess they don't want to kill the greatest October in 40 years. Unicorns shitting skittles need to have one month in the sun.
Money from the elites in Greece, Italy, France, etc. buying every single dip on Wall St. to transfer their wealth to a relative safe haven (?)
G Pap may want to have someone start his car from now on.
Greece should default totally, leave the EU, return to the Drachma, see the prices of imported goods sky rocket and exported goods collapse (what do the Greeks export anyway?) see their welfare system collapse, see nearly the entirety of their public sector unemployed and see themselves shut out of capital markets indefinitely. The bottom line with Greece is they want someone else to pay for their standard of living.

The bubbles should look on the bright side. It was a good scam while it lasted and at least it's sunny there.

i am sure most greeks want to do that. but , as can be seen. the ones in control don't give a hoot what greeks want. it is what they want that is important, and this is the way it is all over the world. it makes one feel better perhaps to discuss this and that about these events but it doesn't mean anything. power is money and money is power and who has the money and who has the power. as the communist rothschild agent, abraham lincoln said one time in 1860. might makes right. ...........and so it is...........greeks can change this. but to do that, would cause a lot of pain. the great russian writer,
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, said many times, that all the russian people had to do to stop the small group of new york communist jews and their small group of russian helpers, from taking over mother russia was for the russian people to stand up and resist them. but they did not. when sheep hate pain the most is when the pain must be felt in order to help their causes, so it seems. a tragedy of epic proportions, played out daily in our lives...
How many people in Greece own porsches? Only the very rich. Yes, the very rich do not pay their taxes and the "socialist" government looks the other way. A deal was made. What does that have to do with the rest of the population? Since you are citing news from the UK, how about looking at an article from the Guardian from the summer about the Greek health care system to see how austerity has affected Greece?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/05/greece-healthcare-brink-cata...
This news will be saved for after-market to generate the gap down overnight. Fund managers have to have a decent close of end of month. Too dangerous to release this news right now before close on MSM.
Bald guys with 50% haircuts still look the same.
The political sphere orbiting the economic singularity. Just wait until the political sphere undergoes geopolitimagnetic reversal. That'll be interesting to witness, as it will occur on a telluric scale, just like a geomagnetic reversal.
Smart man- getting out of the way before the serious rioting begins.....
Finally! Although we'll see if this ever happens. Sure GPap will be getting some rather pointed phone calls soon and may die of "natural" causes sooner rather than later. But ultimately this is what should happen. Let the damn people who feel the effects both pro and con make the decision - and I think we all know what that will be.
Still nothing on CNBC or Bloomberg...this is potentially the biggest event since this whole saga began and nothing. Nothing to see here folks
Cant have the Wall St media cheerfest spoiled....man these guys must be in it up to their eyeballs!
Yeah. Why ruin October when it brought us so many great returns? Ignore and buy buy buy!
Move along!

Tyler quotes Bloomberg as his source, , so where is it. I totally agree, THIS IS IT, well said.
"Still nothing on CNBC or Bloomberg...this is potentially the biggest event since this whole saga began and nothing. Nothing to see here folks"
Market closes in 24 minutes. Then they report it.
he probably shouldn't take a bath in his private plane
Is this DEFCON 1? It should be and the markets should be down 3-4% on todays news, but they are holding steady. Why o why, and who is buying and thinking there is still upside room to run after 20% gain in 3 weeks. Even oil is catching a bid when the global picture looks bleaker and bleaker every day. Bizzzarro markets.
Frozen markets, that is worse
Just wait for the volume to pick up. No one has caught on yet. Also, holidays in Europe I believe.
Greek referendum will include voluntary departure from the EU.... It will pass Greece defaults refinanced in Drachmas and Skittles.... Bullish for the EU (seriously), as the plan put forward was never viable, and saves the EU a couple hundred Billion... Exploding CDS's dont look so bad now.......
Worlds eyes turn to Italy........ Then Ireland Portugal Spain......... US is in there somewhere......
If the Greek citizens vote down the plan, it would pave the way for Greece to "voluntarily" declare bankruptcy.
As a voluntary act, the ISDA could then rule that no credit event could be triggered on the resulting 90% haircut.
Of course, we'll have to wait a couple years for this vote as Greece procures sufficient ink supplies.
Pap is a full retard. No referendum needed on that.
With failed EFSF placement no surpise, they must leave, Portugal as well.
Can you say fraudulent odious debt...how about debt jubilee?
Hey, let's call a referendum. Well it's about f*****g time:) If these assclowns in Euroland did this at the onset of this stupid currency union (given that the old currency union i.e. the ECU went over like a lead ballon), they would have saved us all a lot of time, and themselves and their tax slaves a ton of money.

"That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgment on both sides. 'Cause as you know, sir, in the heat of action men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and let their emotions carry them away." -- Kaspar Gutman in 'The Maltese Falcon'.
At the moment, the Europeans are in effect paying Greece not to default, so it is probably not in the Greek's best interests to default at this moment. Eventually, when the Europeans stop making their bond payments for them, then the Greeks should most definitely default. But it is not yet the optimal time for them to default. They should squeeze every euro that they can from the Europeans and then default.
However, the Greek people are understandably angry and frustrated and it seems very likely that they might choose to default immediately.

Tax cuts in Germany... this is gonna be fun down the road.
I wonder if the partial collapse of the Euro is a good for the US in the long run. I mean if the US wants to keep financing its huge deficit it needs to make sure there is no one else competing with it for the world's savings. Just a thought.
this is the end game they want to forcefully impose on everybody all over the earth.
