Prequel To The Main Event: Video Of Greek Warm Up Scuffles With Police
While the bulk of today's Syntagma Square drama will come at a later hour, once the cabinet convenes at around 6 pm (or likely much later because as of this point there is no agreement on the Troika deal which kills it as per Troika demands), or maybe even tomorrow, we have already seen a prequel of what to expect courtesy of the now traditional exchange of Molotov cocktails and tear gas between Greek protesters and riot police. From Bloomberg: "Greek police used tear gas against masked protesters in central Athens after they attacked police and stores at the end of a march against austerity measures. Greek unions held their second strike in a week against the proposed measures as Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos pressed lawmakers to yield to conditions for a bailout, saying a refusal would open the way for the country’s exit from the euro. Nicole Itano reports on Bloomberg Television's "InsideTrack."

REGIME CHANGE IN GREECE NOW!!!!!!!
The Greek police should just join sides with the protesters at this point. Not only out of self interest, but for the sake of the world.
Yeah like that has EVER happened in HISTORY...
Never happened, never will.
Cops are brainwashed morons.
"Form a brute squad!"
Same old shit, different day. Greeks have been throwing Molotov cocktails for years now. Let me know when the guns come out...
it actually happened a few weeks ago in Portugal.
When asked to disperse a mob, the cops joined it.
Should be easy to google.
couldn't find it. Link?
The Greek police will join the protesters when their pay checks bounce. Then the fun begins....
...and warming up in the bullpen is the closer, Full Frontal Rioting.
More likely they will form themselves into small bands of thugs...
Unit~Corps~God~Country (is the flow chart of allegiance)
Nonsense.
The cops should use marshmellow- or potato-cannons for these cute German-flag-burning morons on perpetual strike since 10 or more years, who have never earned a single dime relying on their own brain, will soon have nothing to eat... ;-)
The Greeks are terrists.
The Greek terrorists? No!
I know quite a few and have Greek friends: Not a single terrorist among them.
But the extremists get a lot of attention today because people like Karatzaferis and others behave irresponsably so far...
The only possible outcome -however horrible- I can see is dictatorship again.
DID I JUST SAY IT? Can you believe it? Absolutely AWFUL!... and they're only one whisk away from military rule...
It really makes me sad! And I hope that members of the three families (Papandreu, Karamanlis, Mitsotakis) will be sued and hung by their nostrils later on!
They will be hung by their necks if they are lucky enough not to be torn limb from limb if they fall to the mob. I think most will get out and seek asylum in .... Germany?
In greece people will kill other people to keep a job and to keep their family fed.
Riot police will continue to battle the populace all the way to the end.
Lol Nowadays a Regime change is like going from one bank to another.
ABOLISH FRACTIONAL BANKING!!!! WORLD WIDE!
Where are the camels?
You know, like Mubarak used on the Egyptian people?
Where are the camels?
See my comment below...
THAT would be the icing on the cake...Egyptian camel jockeys rioting through through the streets of Athens !
;)
Release the Goats in riot gear, that will teach those pesky unions...
People on strike have a lot of free time...it remains to be seen if they'd rather weaponize Ouzo than drink it.
Those molotov cocktails in the video were looking pretty weak. They very well could have been using ouzo. Probably time to move to something a little higher proof, and keep the ouzo for drinking.
Not big fans of burning or looting UK style the Greeks, odd that
This just in.
Third party in coalition govt. on the verge of quitting it.
L.a.o.s leader earlier announced he won't be voting for the new memorandum, due Sunday night.
Goes without saying his ministers will follow suit.
The situation is very fluid and tense.
Headed to a city near you.
1.75 € gasoline per molotov
Don't forget to mix it with thick laundry detergent.
Because we love the smell of napalm in the morning.
What is left to be seen is whether or not the US military will side with the citizens or the government when they are ordered to put down a few hundred thousand Americans in Washinton protesting Obama's second term
Get the fuck out of here. The only thing that would cause a couple hundred thousand Americans to even remotely get off their asses to march on DC is telling them they can't marry their gay lover or canceling the Superbowl. I have lost ALL faith in Americans doing what needs to be done. They are mindless drones who don't want to know how fucked we are. Try to explain it to them and they'll be like God you're so negative or look at you like you have a tin foil hat on. Sheep like to be shepherded. It is the nature of things.
Unfortunately, humans as a whole simply do not give a damn as long as their stomachs are full. You could cut off the TV entirely, and they would still not resist without a food shortage.
They won't cut off the TV - too useful a tool.
After watching this video, which seems most impressive for the weak presence of cops and their lame efforts to seize control, in comparison with the brutal and overpowering quasi-military response of US cops to peaceful Occupy protestors, I'm thinking our military will undoubtedly take a similarly American approach to any serious disturbances here. They will crush citizens by any means "necessary" . . . just like the civilian pigs we know and love.
That's what happens when a society loses its conscience, it seems. Nobody much gave a shit about killing hundreds of thousands of innocents in the middle east . . . and we'll get our just desserts when it visits us at home.
el oh el !!! :)
They will likely line up according to ideological lines in complete reflection of those on which they are dispatched. Those with honor and a moral compass will stand opposed to those advocating the confiscation of property based on delusions of "fairness" and entitlement. Those without will assist the looters.
While the Greeks are fighting their own, Chinese are doing their own, with the Yuan: China is seeking to loan money to Latin America countries (using the Yuan instead of the USD) to internationalize the Yuan.

I'm fine with that.
Meanwhile...
It's ok guys they reached a deal
I'm gonna go down the store & get some whiskey and pop corn.
Good news and bad news...They are resisting the banks!
Bad news...This is how Hitler came to power...and this is a country full of Spartans...
"King Leonidas: Submission? Well that's a bit of a problem. See, rumor has it the Athenians have already turned you down, and if those philosophers and, uh, boy-lovers have found that kind of nerve, then... "
this is a country full of Spartans
In the movie TROY...
I don't remember any armies sitting around cafes all day long waiting for their government check to arrive so they could drink half of it and bet the rest on soccer matches...
Wouldn't that be the French right before wwII?
They sure have fallen a long way haven't they? Oh you're talking about Greece. I thought you were talking about the U.S.
I'm talking about everyone... The ones that junked me probably thought I was singling out Greeks...
I'm talking about 'pussification' in general... Modern day Greeks are no more Spartans than Americans are Continental Soldier bands of militia...
I don't think the 'gene' is totally lost... When people get hungry (literally) again, it will be remembered...
Careful about alluding to Continental Militia, I believe the true history is that they were mostly incompetent, drunk and ran at the first sign of attack, but mostly drunk!
well imagine what that says about Cornwalis then...
...and I bet your social studies teacher then told you they were mostly gay for each other, too.
The pussification of American History, brought to you by the UFT.
It appears that both pretty much apply at this point. Pretty scary actually.
King Leo was one to talk about boy lovers. Ever done any research into the Spartan Agoge?
OT: What happended to Mike Pettis over there in Beijing?
His website http://www.mpettis.com
shows "Account Suspended"
"An independent MP named Milena Apostalaki (formerly of Pasok) has announced that she will not vote for the austerity measures when they come before the Greek parliament (probably on Sunday).
Apostalaki's move comes amid mounting speculation that MPs will be ordered to vote in favour of the package."
~ So much for Democracy.
Can you say "Black Monday"?
"masked protesters"
Ominous.
Meantime in brussels

Wow...
Where is Lexington in Greece ?
Marathon, or maybe Delphi.
Where's the riot dog, forgot his name.
Sausage the riot dog.
Thanks, Dead. Is it "memory goes before intellect", or the other way round.
I have to chuckle as the naked short sellers make physical silver cheaper - we are back to $33/oz.
rape and pillage the people and expect peace when you repeat
The bailout is now history. This time next week Greek bonds will be worthless. The banks will close, and re-open with Drachmas. Now the fun begins. Dominoes anyone?
OT... But the new banner ad for SNORGT's (on ZH) has a new foto of a girl in a OCTOPI t-shirt... She has a bit of a camel toe going on there...
So what I'm also saying is... CLICK THE TOE (& help the Tylers make a little cash)...
Greek police union wants to arrest Troika members:
http://www.welt.de/politik/article13861468/Griechen-Polizei-droht-EU-Ges...
They should arrest the PM instead and whoever votes for that shitty deal... they work for the banks.
These bankstas brought the country on the brink of civil war.
Greek far-right ministers offer resignation from coalition government according to a semi-official news agency.
Just trying not to get slauthered like the others...
So when Greek property owners get tired of sitting home in the dark where do we think they will congregate? I'm beginning to think that Greece is a test platform for the NWO. Who do we think the GS operativel that occupies the WH will be? Some will say BO, but I don't think his mathematics grades were good enough to ever get hired at GS.

Loookee heere !
Those skinny Molotov Cocktails - are they from the mini-bar ?
Like 10 cl micro ouzo ?
Come on guys - you can do better.
How about: Berlin style : May 1st quality - for a change.
Tsss tsss ... can't even get that right.
I'm bored.
They think they have Greece contained in case of a default. Good luck with Unicredit and the other southern periphery banks after this event though.
the skids are being greased even as we talk; this is a slippery slope to armegeddon.
Hey! More bailout $ for Greece is a great deal! So says LARRY SUMMERS! Hmmmmm, can you feel the panic starting to creep in?
I can't believe he is staying awake through all of this.
Brussels riot cam:
Hundreds of Belgian firefighters hose down the prime minister's office as part of a protest against retirement plans

Nice.
Today we should get an idea of how large the PPT's war chest is. My bet is that we will be aghast at how little this moves things down. "And then kids, the Chairman spent another years' worth of education funding to hold up the Russell."
When 'Mercans throw molotov cocktails, they're terrists.
speaking of protests, I saw something on WSJ.com that I didn't think was allowed in the MSM.
they actually printed an article stating Saudi security forces opened fire on and killed at least one protester.
no, no WSJ, you see, in Syria or Libya or Iran it's peaceful protesters getting slaughtered by, and only by, the evil repressive regime, but in Saudi Arabia or Iraq it's DHS type forces engaged with "insurgent terrorists".
I know it's confusing WSJ but the Ministry of Truth really needs you all to get this right. now, it may appear as if the Saudi's and the Iraqi's are cracking down on protesters, much like it may appear the US is doing the same, but really, they are all just securing the Homeland.
Got it? so if this story ever does spread I expect to see that the Saudi's are battling Mexican drug cartel terrorists hired by a network of used car salesmen funded by Iran, not protesters upset by their treatment at the hands of the regime...err, legitimate sovereign US ally government.
Up-vote if you just threw a virtual Molotov cocktail at the Greek riot police.
Boom!!!!
Italian piigs disease....Oh the irony, i guess nature has it's own way of teaching us lessons...

I'm canceling my europe vacation this summer. I'll watch TV and read ZH instead.
Off topic ,but heres a funny thing.
Kitco has removed all traces of the last NEGATIVE dip down to Negatve 7% or greater on all months.1,2,3,6,AND 1 Year lease rates on gold.
The charts used to show them,but they have now been "vaporized" off of the charts.
I specifically commented on this drop a couple weeks ago,and gave an alert on ZeroHedge comment boards.
I have contacted Kitco and let them know,but they have still not fixed this ,probably on purpose,data manipulation.
Jon Nadler is a stooge.
The silver lease charts have been "adjusted" also.....
No more big "V" IN THE GRAPHS.....
FUCKING JOKE.
Oh yeh...da banksters really care about Greece...c'mon itis about the size of feckin' Delaware.
This is merely a speed bump...when potgual and most notably Spain start the tak of default...then you'll have my attention.
Greece is nothing...they are trying to use Greece as the first hurdle...
It will all be coming theu the wash....oh...think of all the "public" hosuing in the US. Oh yeh.....when Noo Yawk become slike Deetroit....do you think that the left wing facsist will admit their disastrous folly?
Naww....they will blame anyone who owns a business. Rust never sleeps...
