Greek Parliament Passes Latest Austerity Vote
The Greek parliament just passed the latest proposed austerity plan with a majority voting Yes. Judging by the reaction of the EURUSD, which experienced a modest 40 pip short covering squeeze in the last few minutes, one would imagine that today's Greek vote outcome is surprising. It isn't: after all, all Greece has done is promise to do something it won't do in hope it can get another bailout package, this time amounting to €210 billion (of which its people will pocket a de minimis 19%). As we said earlier: "The only real questions are i) what the Greek population may do in response to this latest selling out of a population "led" by an unelected banker, which if history is any precedent, the answer is not much, and ii) how Germany will subvert this latest event, and put the bail [sic] back in Greece's court once again." Sure enough, to paraphrase what we said before, the question now is what the popular Greek response will be having learned its politicians sold it out yet again, which will likely be nothing much, as it is 1 am local time, and as everyone knows revolutions in heavily socialist countries only start between 9 am and 5 pm, with a 2 hour break for siesta. More importantly, keep a close eye on headlines out of Germany. That is all that matters now.

Ooops.. nevermind.

They must be getting reinforcements...

Good. When they get back we will be prepared and ready....to start. Ready to start the revolution....
....in the meantime I guess we should wait for them.
[Checks watch]
Know any good jokes?
The Hulk, a Rabbi and a Baptist minister walk into a bar...
A white racist, a doommongering asshole and a silver-hating troll walk into a bar together.
The bartender asks: "So, what will you have Trav?"
Collapse off, risk on.

U.S is in worst shape than Greece! --Nouriel Roubinia really stupid self-hating mudsharking fag walks into a bar and the bartender says, "akock get the fuck out of here."
The Greeks need to fight back with a huge erection. I mean insurrection. Whatever.
.....a priest a minister and a rabbi walk into a bar and the bartender says, what is this, a joke?
It's this sort of name calling that upsets me most..............
We all know Trav7777 is paranoid enough to have a few silver coins hidden where only the TSA can find em.
Right Trav?
Something, something ouzo.
Something, something gyros.
Am I doing this right?
[falls asleep]
why the fuck should Greece get a bailout???
Greece should simply be cut loose. No bailouts, nothing. Expel from euro let the greeks produce.
Apparently, Greek politicians are high on Bozonium™ if they "think" they've solved anything with this "vote!"
The "Revolution" has happened. The Banksters have taken over. That is your revolution.
Oh? You were expecting the sheeple to do something? Well, they did. They had their Union organized movement/party. It's over. Go home.
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
Henry Ford
Methods of thought which claim to give the lead to our world in the name of revolution have become, in reality, ideologies of consent and not of rebellion.
Albert Camus
Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy.
Franz Kafka
Hey Macho,
isn't 'sheeple' a synonym for shit-eater?
and if so why not call it like it is
the banksters win by default as usual
EXCEPT IN GREECE
maybe what we need in the us are more Greeks
At least, they show they have huevos
om
....everyone who HATES the way things have been going, keep voting for the same morons....
Supplies??
"23.05 GMT+2 A gun shop in Omonoia, Athens, has been looted" From DF Mish.. fwiw
The black debt hole grows deeper leading to the unrest. Debts than can not be paid won't be.
Glad I backed up the truck on those 1,400% bonds.....weeeeee
You hit it big!
Revolutions begin only when people are HUNGRY, literally.
Case in point:
-Benny does COCAINATED EASING 2
-Hence, food prices go thru the roof
-Hence, bread prices go thru the roof
-Hence egyptians that would spend 70% of income to just buy bread, now would not afford to buy food.
-Hence, people go kukuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Isn't that what is happening with the Europonzi?
Well, Benny initiated it and ordered his buddies to follow thru.
Cocainated Easing...lol...I like it.
Ain't nobodys bidniss but my own...

The song & the vid...lured & teased him, got him all tied up and helpless, then bit him right in the neck as everyone just watched.

As I said above. you're just a son of a good mother.
I got hooked to this Taj Majal. I love blues jazz.

Thx thx thx a looooooooot
That's absolutely symbolic of the whole uprising.
That bread was for an afternoon lunchbreak, protesting is hard work...
Right, only hunger creates the conditions for true change, however evaporation of the revolution has always been the danger, leaving the slime of authoritarians in charge..
Is that the Ron Paul revolution? Oh yeah, that's right. It's already over. Is this the black swan or the tipping point or something? I bet this time the collapse wil finally occur and our descent back to the stone aged gold standard will begin. Preppers everywhere rejoice!
Everything is fine. Go back to sleep.
As an aside, Charlie Sheen didn't START OUT bangin 7 grams rocks.
Debt is like drugs that way.
#WINNING
EUR dropping bitches!
Ho-hum...futures way up...rally on.
(Angela Merkel heard angrily harassing her advisors)
"But you SWORE these austerity measures would be more than they would EVER agree to."
"Now how are we ever going to get out of this?"
now the hot potato is in Frau Angela's hands...
Now when the Greeks lose that 200 billion.. Or missplace it... Whatever....
I wonder how that cow will explain it to the rest of Germany that they need to caugh up another 300 billion to save greece by 2014.
To whom does it get "coughed up to" tho? Greece? Or the German/Swiss and French banks?
Greek QE3
In all seriousness, doesn't the German Parliament still have to pass something in referendum to bless the release of funds -- or it that moot at this point? Could be short lived celebration for the banksters.
Well it is not like these bailouts are really going to change anything.
Just lets them bide their time before the people wake up and realize there is no spoon.
And realize that uncomfortable feeling in their backsides is not their proctologist.
pods
By then, most islands will belong to Germany
yes.
She was able to take over a country without invading it, as 200+ Greek politicians just handed Greece over to the German cartel. Problem is, she just set Europe alight again...yes again.
That's a brave move by the members of the Greek Parliament - are there not general elections due in April 2012?
Every single one of them is going to be voted out, unless a state of emergency is declared, postponing elections indefinitely.
Riiight... Since when were elections legitimate?
Thats why the greek PM tried to replace the heads of the greek armed forces back in fall 2011.
(they think) They know what is coming and have anticipated it.
Now will it end up being open season on the politicians that voted for it?
The games have now begun.
for real i would think the greeks would burn down all the politicians assets..any that can be identified.
Yep, some general in Syria got woofed today.
Wonder why nobody wants to "save" the Syrians?
Um...
It's a test ground for totalitarianism. The elites of europe and the US are watching closely. Shoulda paid more attention to Zimbabwe. Mugabe wrote the book on middle class bloodshed and destruction.
Hey, aren't you supposed to be watching the Grammys?
Hahahahahhahah! Let the petrol bombs fly!
I can't wait to see what happens to gold and silver.
Gold is headed lower. Government Leprechauns at work!
Risk off, amigo. Time to reverse your mind-set about these things.
That is some of the weirdest action I have ever seen.
net net bad for the euro more added to the balance sheet of the fed...thats all that happens here it weakens the euro...also germany still has to say yes
It seems that way. The fact that the Euro "spiked" 30-pips on this news sounds very, very slippery.
Orly, bailouts are bullish!
Judging by the action over the past two to three weeks in the USD, especially relative to the Japanese yen, I would opine that it's different this time.
I gotta feeling this gon' git ugly.
:D
We were on the same page concerning the charts, but I didn't think Greece would get bailed out this time. It will get ugly before it gets better, but once again, I'm going to have to throw in the towel and step back and watch from the sidelines this week. Who knows where the ponzi will collapse next.
Yen, dollar, euro, theys all ugly.
I don't know if you have kids, Mr. Hendrix, but there's only so many times they can listen to the lame bedtime story wherein the Princess gets saved...again. Comes a time when the effect and the message wear ever-so-thin. Soon enough, they are relishing stories of Earl, the Evil Bunny, complete with sinister hand-shadows cast from a lamp beneath the blanket.
Seems to me it's time for the Evil Bunny to make his appearance. I'll have to clear my throat and practice the laugh: <<kicks shadow-head back...>> Bwahahahahahahahahahaha-haha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaah! <<wiggles evil ears...>>
:[~
But Ben Bernanke doesn't like Evil Bunny!
;)
forget 30 pips from friday close the eur future is up .65 would have thought higher
Like here in the US, unbelievable. The more it's diluted, the more it's worth.
Gold will be up, by the SAME illogic. Gold follows the dollar, EU up against the USD, USD "perceived" as weaker, gold up!
It doesn't need to make sense, as long as it's predictable. LOL
i am not being antagonistic but i think you dont understand the relationship rt weak dollar = higher gold just like all commodities ---reasoning it costs more dollars to buy that same good ....if the dumb ass public understood why they are paying these gas prices....rather than the fabricated news--ie iran and the straights of hormuz--- there would be a revolt here
"Net bad for the euro"? Are you crazy? Watch the EUR/USD short queeze of the century unfold this week. The 90% that did not cover last week will be checking into the Robotrader permabull troll hospital by Tuedsday. And they will be buried in slaughterer's bear graveyard by Wednesday. MDB will take care of the obituaries.
ES 1380 this week// AAPL to $550 thanks to Greek politicians selling out their citizens. With a little more paid-for anarchistic molotovs Germany will have their proof they extracted enough pain to fund the "bottomless pit." Welcome to the end.
Can I get a DJ 36,000?
"Greek politicians selling out their citizens" ??? You're a democrat, aren't you?
Clueless
(Fake) austerity for a bailout that won't work and only helps banksters? You're a Republican aren't you?
Clueless
Good to know that there are still people in the world who believe in the red/blue paradigm. Makes me feel so 1985.
Big hair, pastels. <<Sighs>>
And leg warmers.
I loved the Olivia Newton John leg warmer look.
Wrong, but thanks for playing!
Ivan Boesky says hi.
Hey booger.....
Stop picking your nose for a minute and listen up.
Are you still hung up on the "democrat" .republican,thingy are you...???
Speaking of "clueless".... I see you doubled up.
Fucking idiot.
really so adding to the balance sheet of the ECB is bullish for currencies.....the euro isnt strong the dollar is weak...thats it..look at it vs other currencies---dont tel me japananese yen ----that and the us $ are carry plays thats it.
As for the short squeeze of the century....ever think that they were squeezed for the last 6 big handles??? maybe now will reenter because news is now out???? and if it doesnt rally much more longs will start to bail....who are you ROBO
slaughterer you called the top three weeks ago. You have had that big of a change of mind?
Good to see all governments are still all in this together. At least this way when we take them down we know there isn't any one of them on our side.
Except maybe Iceland.
The slaughterer will get slaughtered this week-when Angela kicks this back!
Angela loves this deal. Greek austerity, bankers get paid, no one has read the measure, it's perfect.
Angie likes social unrest in Greece: makes it look like she put the boot to Greece, and she is not wasting German taxpayer money if the Greeks are writhing like that. If the figures add up to the target 120% GDP (and former ECB hack Papademos will make it so add up), then Angie will send Papademos the check with a kiss on it.
Riight., Like Germans want to bail them out anymore....
What German citizens want no longer matters. The systems dictate the reality. Name an opponent to Angie that has a chance . <crickets>
