Live Feed From The Protester Occupied Electric Power Company In Athens
As was reported yesterday, while nobody gives a rat's behind about events in Greece any more now that the focus is completely on Italy, Spain, Belgium, Austria, and France, or in other words, the core, things in Greece have been getting far worse since the so called coalition government was implemented. As AP reported recently, "protesting power and municipal workers blockaded several state electricity company buildings around Greece Monday, in protest at an emergency property tax being collected through electricity bills. Members of an electricity workers' union cut off power last week to the Health Ministry for four hours, and on Monday blocked the entrance to a site where power disconnection orders are issued. Pharmacies also closed in greater Athens, demanding that state-assisted health insurers settle growing debts. On Tuesday, transport workers are to hold a four-hour stoppage to protest staff cuts." Judging by the live video below from Stop Cartel TV, which is broadcasting live at 2 am local time from Athens, the occupation of the electric power plant has continued into the second day, and according to the narrator the owner has threatened to use violence to clear out the protesters.

I think Greece is now called South Belgium. That may explain why nobody cares about that lovely Country and people anymore.
They should all be deported to Siberia and help snow shoveling there...
Conservative estimates show that the Greek owe more than 60billion in unpaid taxes to their state.
We'll see how tough you are when the debt crisis comes to your home Sparky. It's a matter of time.
I will be completely self-sustained on my farm! No worries...! How about you? Why not send all YOUR money to Greece in order to allow hairdressers to retire at 55...? Hmm?
You could have the Greeks pick your fruit and lettuce.
God bless the child and whatnot.
Very good idea. Thank you! They could actually earn some money and at the same time feed quite a few people!

I loathe the banks, Fed and Gold Man Rothschild but Kyle Bass made some comments about Greece. He said the Gree govt agreed to only hire 1 new govt union stogge "worker" for each 5 who retired. 20,000 Greek workers "retired" with full pensions and they hired 20,000 new workers.
Hugh Hendy called Greece a "cheat's charter." The UAW/AFL-CIO/SEIU union goon shithole of southern Europe.
Of course it's 20K in 20K out.
We're dealing with people who are professional cheats, liars, paly like it's all Greek to them and think good sex is taking it up the bung for Christ's sake.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. There's a fucking reason. And's why condoms are called Trojans. And was never a fucking democracy in the first place, that's a myth so the new leadership's sorta in line with the historical precedent. And all the women as soon as they turn 19 grow moustaches and thick matted body hair. I mean, what is the problem here?
they morph into Wookies?
LOL! I remember when that movie came out called my Big Fat Greek Wedding or something. I never saw the crap movie but wondered - who the F would want to marry a greek girl? I hate to stereotype but I never saw an attractive greek woman. I saw one or two when they were marching on youtube or a live feed.
I had wealthy greek neighbors. the old man had worked hard but the sons were idiots and the daughter was fugly. I never met a greek who was not a Democrat too.
Kyle Bass rocks and he was telling the story. The IMF or EU/ECB or whatever showed up and the Greeks just retired 20,000 people with pensions and hired 20,000 new govt union workers to tell the EU/IMF/ECB whatever - F U. They left Greece the next day in a furor.
Greece = The Detroit of southern Europe.
I'll be in New England with my AR-15 but I'd rather move on from this world than farm. To each his own I guess but I'd bet you are full of crap anyway. And I'll send my empathy to Greece, not my money. That was my point kid.
I am sure the Greek like you, but they're still asking for your money as well, got that, boy? Wake up, you have to make some hard choices soon!
You sure know a lot about Greece, how many times have you been there, "boy"? Most likely you never traveled further then 50 miles from your farm.
I get your username, HE WHO CARRIED THE WATER OF THE 1%. Remember the Cock Brothers HATE YOU and all workers. Even though you work for them they hate you, get it.
Bah! I don't care, but please do shape some argument which we can discuss, not this ideology bullshit!
Pot or kettle?
Kettle!
Drown or burn?
Float.
Nice, they both loves and hates the ring, the precious.
Eat the rich then eat your neighbor. Wouldn't it be nice if there were no rich in the US?
Tax those puppies so you can have free schooling for life and stuff.
They used to call it freeloading. Now it OWS.
The first cannibal I have seen post here.
Soylent Green for everybody!
Sounds great. We pay taxes -> .gov drops bombs on people.
I don't agree with that.
"Conservative estimates show that the Greek owe more than 60billion in unpaid taxes to their state."
And the state owes no doubt orders more to its people and to europe for bungled and failed
infrastructure projects. Despite appearances, Greece is a Balkan state, with all this implies.
For example, billions were funneled into constructing fresh water reservoirs on Corfu and Paxos.
Years later, budget exhausted, these were leaky open air sand pits. more funds were injected
and they were lined with unsealed sheets of rubberised plastic, and are still leaky and fetid.
Membership in europe should not be automatic but meritocratic. You should pay for your way
in via funding or labour. The greeks should sell off the ignomy of Cyprus to wealthy Turkey,
thereby settling a disgraceful dispute and refilling the coffers. Then tax the shipping Armateurs
Orthodox church and private island owners, and finally repay their debts and buy back into europe.
Is the guy speaking drunk or what? I mean, has the party already started in Greece?
as long as no protest in Santoriny... Otherwise Germans will get intervene.
Bushs fault
blame Max Kieser
WHY IS'NT THAT GREAT ABC POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT STEPHANOPOULOS ON THE GROUND GIVING US THE PLAY BY PLAY !
Nobody gives a Rats as about who...?
As long as the Greeks issue Wanted: Dead or Alive posters on any banksters, I'm in agreement with their protests. Now if we only had an Iraqi-like card deck on the banksters here in the USA.
sigh
It's not the bankers fault, it's the politicians.
This "banker bashing" is tantamount to vilifying solar company executives because Obama gave Solydra 500 million dollars in tax payer money (to a campaign contributer none the less). Same shit in this case with banks. It was the government that wrote the bailout check. It was also the government that forced the banks to originate sub-prime loans.
right on.
And the government put into place the rules that have defined where and how investments are made.
Money finds the place it works the best. If a corrupt government creates rules that encourage corrupt bankers who's fault is it?
Perchance the people who put these crooks in office for listening to our news and believing it. We have paid well for the implosion, best enjoy as much of it as we can.

Bob, you defend psycho's, and you have weird supporters. Did you dig the cannibal?
I'm not defending anyone.
We all took part in the boom and placing the blame entirely on one section of the population is simply not right. I knew many "average joe six pack" types foaming at the mouth to buy 5, 6, 7 homes at a time to flip em for a quick buck. There were ordinary people who lied on mortgage docs to get approved for loans they wouldn't have been able to afford otherwise. Obviously Wall Street is responsible as well but the scope of the problem needs to be looked at in perspective.
The thesis of my argument is the primary culprit of felonious activity were the politicians in DC which have not been held accountable one iota. Hell, Obama voted for the WS bailout and he got elected president. Not only did he vote for the WS bailout but also supports the anti WS movement...explain that one.
We had a powerful tool to prevent the crisis, it was called the Glass Steagall act. Who threw that out? Politicians.
Yes and no. The govt is looting the US Treasury. However - Goldman Sachs/Rothschilds, et al Bank America/Merril, CitiShit Bank, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan Rockefeller Chase, are all scum.
You do know that the plan for Solyndra was to rush through an IPO to dump this hopeless, money losing bag of shit with a Taj Mahal factory in very expensive to manufacture Nor Cal on the public. Their plan was to dump this bag of shit on the public through an IPO. The investment banks would have gladly floated it as Goldman, Firt Boston etc etc did during the dot bomb scam. When on IPO daya they traded thin fgloats back and forth to drive $20 worthless dot com companies to $100 on IPO day.
Who was the head of Goldman at that time? Corzine. The problem for Obama/Solyndra et al was that Solyndra failed before they could do the IPO. .
I'll get to work on that right away. Thanks for the idea.
Stay Safe Santa Claus , you are going to have a dangerous trip around the globe this year
Greece is a zombie, patient zero is you like, that has infected the EZ.
Should have been cut away in 2010.
Why is Maria in Asia?
Good government idea - send all the unemployed to Greece to firebomb the shit out of things. Statistics skew in the right direction here - 0.1 percent unemployed, people get to work out their frustrations, Euro tanks, US bux get strong, and Bob's yer uncle. Get 'er done!
Hahaha I love this guy's accent!
Nice.
The lunch line ladies will love this:
Eat your peas sonny, or you'll get dosed.
Don't ya see? The entire globe is gradually flaring up into insurgency, starting with the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East and now the Persian Gulf. It has made some progression to Eastern Europe, West Europe and North America. The current structure is unsustainable, but won't give up without fighting to the death
"electricity workers' union cut off power last week to the Health Ministry"
THAT is fight club! blue collar monkeys keep your buildings cool/warm, and lit. we keep the piss and shit from filling up the streets. we can also pee(or worse) in your soup.
no a/c, elevator, and plumbing repairs in new york city for the 1% in summer of 2012!
You're missing the real beauty of it all in translation/lack of competent us media coverage.
Since the government has a hard time collecting taxes, they have empowered the electric company to collect the taxes for them. Further, the government has ordered that for those who won't, or can't, pay their taxes, their power be cut off. The electric company union is none too happy to participate in this plan.
Now, it seems that there are a number of government agencies, obviously the Health Ministry being one, that are delinquent on their taxes.
So, the electric company is now cutting off the power to the delinquent agencies.
You obvoiusly didn't get it yourself and I quote: Health Ministry being one, that are delinquent on their taxes...
Since when does a state collect taxes from a ministry?? Douchebag!
You're not Greek. You don't read Greek. Are you? Do you?
This blog does not accept Greek letters or language. So, that aside, how about working on your English?
8PM Eastern. George is done for the day, he is replaying a shot from another camera now and will "pick up live broadcasting at time I don't know" tomorrow. Quoting George. George is good stuff, broadcasting and interacting with the audience both in Greek and English.
Power to the people.
It had to be said.
off topic: dow just tumbled in 30 secs 100 points to 11355.
Must be the republican debate starting.
At this point, I can't stop laughing and drinking.
Bulls will soon start calling for the ECBto start printing electricity.
I-LIKE-TRICKS!
Tyler's right, the gaze has changed to the core...but still, one must watch Greece, as it's in pole position for what we'll see in western sovereigns.
I know the people on here who worked their whole lives think that's what the next generation should do but the industrial revolution was sold to humanity on the idea that people would not HAVE to work so hard in the future. Screw the bankers. Go Greeks!
