The Greek 99% are actually being ritually sacrificed at The High Altar of 'Bankster Ponzi Finance Kaputalism' & are being forced to suffer extreme austerity, deprivations & hardships, purely to maintain for a little while longer - 'The Illusion of Pan-European and International Banking Solvency'.

The reality of 'Innovative Financial Products" ; of Mortgage Backed Securities, Collateralised Debt Obligations, Credit Default Swaps (apparently 'Insurance Contracts on Debt Default' but actually just bets!) and other such "Derivatives" - are fast catching up with 'International High-Finance Crapitalism'.

All this Unconscionable BS is based on and "derived" from the buying and selling of Compound Interest Bearing Usurious Debt, which up until now was 'controlled' by the totally artificially induced 'Business Cycle' {the ritualised regular contraction after the expansion of 'the economy' and 'money supply'} - but now the ever 'geometrically increasing' Compound Interest, means that there is Actually Not Enough Money In The World To Pay All The F*cking Debt & Interest !

The Abstraction that is "£MoNeY$" has now abstracted itself into the notional 'cyber-hyper-reality' of 'Credit' and 'Debit' via The Tyranny of Electronic Double Entry Bookkeeping, such that almost all of us Everywhere are ensnared in The Mysterious, Magical, Mythical Money-Matrix ... so .. We All Need To 'Swallow The Red Pill, Unplug' & Take A Good Look Around !!

For example, The Greeks need to reclaim their Democracy from their own Treacherous, Quisling 0.01%, who have sold their country to The International (in this case mainly Franco-German) Scum Bankster Parasites. They should Immediately Default ; Offer a maximum, notional and honourable 1:10, 10% on their Onerous and 'Odious Debt' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odious_debt ) ; Reinstate The Drachma ; Demand A Referendum On These Matters ; NATIONALISE THEIR CENTRAL BANK & currency issue and reclaim their Country, Democracy, Integrity and Sanity !!!

I recommend this clever, insightful and useful individual and his website = http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/ as well as The Excellent Documentary Film, "INSIDE JOB" : http://documentarystorm.com/inside-job/ . In The UK, this year - 2012 'AD', is "The Diamond Jubilee" - 60 years of the now 86 year old Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg Gotha, Battenberg (Windsor) being 'HRH Mrs. Queen' & it's a Olympic and Leap Year too. Thus, wherever it is that WE are in The World, WE should all start to remember realise and reclaim the concepts of "The Jubilee", which is an Old Testament word for celebrations and festivities arising from the regular, every 49/50 years, remission of all debts & indentured bondage !!

Back then The Wise Ancient Israelite Elders knew and understood that 'Intergenerational Permanent Debt Bondage' was a very bad thing and to be actively avoided. Sons could pay their fathers' or even grandfathers' debt but that anything else was really Servitude & thus Unconscionable !

SOLIDARITY to The Greeks & to 'The 99% Wage Slaves in Debt Bondage' - Everywhere !

Viva Greece &

Ζήτω η Ελλάδα !!

Problem with Greece, underground economy is really their main economy ... so no one pays taxes, this forces the unfortunate ones who can't escape paying taxes, to pay absurd tax rates. If they fixed this single problem, they could go a long way towards solvency. Otherwise, they are being treated harshly by the European banking regime and northern European governments, but that being said, only looking at Greece from the outside, it's hard to know what's really going on & what people really think. But when I see masses of people marching in the streets, my automatic inclination is too have solidarity with those people.

[-] -1 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

and why do they have an underground economy in the first place genius? because the expect people to pay an absurd tax rate. same happens here & anywhere. keep it up - see where it gets you. genius! your automatic solidarity is pathetically juvenile and that's the problem with the lefties - all emotion based reactions to problems.

emotions distort reason misguiding concepts like left and right ♠ don't turn around the wrong way ♦ in England, they drive to the left

[-] 1 points by francismjenkins (3713) 12 years ago

Ahhh, enlightenment from the other end of the stupid spectrum.

Really, we have two types of sheeple in this country, left sheeple and right sheeple, but they have one thing in common, utter stupidity. They typically lack education, have an aversion to reading books, if they have any college at all (which is unlikely) they avoided rigorous courses like the plague, and they view life with child like simplicity (but unfortunately, they lack the good nature of children).

PIGS R US still has the last two to showcase after this: Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Rome, United States.

[-] 0 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

yes - more to come - maybe even start WWIII over it as the eurotrash usually do

[-] 1 points by grapes (5232) 12 years ago

The not-so "grand finale" will feature a mulatto or an albino, a donkey, an elephant, squirrels, nuts, weasels, and many clowns in our three-ringed circus. PIGS R US may even bring King Kong to defend the Empire State building against the attacks of PIGASUS for freedom.

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

People dont want to think about Greece spreading. It makes them uneasy.

But they better get used to it. The USA will be the grand finale.

[-] -1 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

yup - bury their heads in the sand. thanks for the gutsy comment. these fraks just dont get it. even after the history lesson of wwI & wwII

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

no one gets it. And no one cares. People should be forming new groups all over, running new parties, candidates, etc.

No one cares. Until the food shortages start, I expect business as usual from American consumers.

[-] 0 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

I reject identity politics. thats the problem - pandering to groups.

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

Or at least getting organized. People are literally doing nothing.

[-] -1 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

organise for what? to extort their employer?

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

Organize to figure out what they are going to do when this thing falls apart. Or how they can make their lives easier. Or how they can help one another. Anything, really.

[-] -1 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

how about - make yourself valuable so the employer has to pay you to keep you. youd rather thuggishly force him to pay you what you want. mafia tactics.

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

Sorry dude, I work for myself. And Im, honestly, one of the hardest working people I know.

You should stop jumping to conclusions.

[-] -3 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

so what's the problem? you are a self congratulatory ass - who touts themselves as one of the hardest working people? that's for others to decide. what a pompous ass.

[-] 3 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

I guess maybe I shouldnt have said that.

"youd rather thuggishly force him to pay you what you want. mafia tactics." Geez, talk about hypocrisy....

How you took my suggesting that people should start working together more to make this life better as "thugishly" forcing their employers to pay them more is beyond me.

Perhaps you should turn off the TV. Those talking points are clouding your ability to converse.

[-] -3 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

companies don't force you to do anything. you are free to choose to accept the offer or not. move on or not. choose another profession or not. Unions are force unless you are free to join or not join. public schools = force, soc sec = force, medicare = force. all government initiatives = force.

[-] 3 points by geo (2638) from Concord, NC 12 years ago

When all the companies use the same tactics.... like a cartel... then there is no more free choice. Your logic fails.

How many good paying jobs are left that you don't have to pee in a cup for? Go through credit checks? Have your off hours lifestyle investigated through internet searches? Where is the freedom of the individual that is so touted here in America, only to be stomped on by industry?

[-] 2 points by Builder (4202) 12 years ago

"Industry" meaning oligarch-controlled corps, are in the process of stomping on all of the rights and rules instigated by unions over the decades.

That's why unions are getting such bad press lately.

[-] -1 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

so you are a drug user who needs to evade a drug test who also has poor credit & a criminal record. hahaha! and you blame cartels for your problems lol?!

[-] 2 points by geo (2638) from Concord, NC 12 years ago

Unreasonable search and seizure, innocent until proven guilty, basic concepts of human rights that we as Americans believe in. Industry has no right to stomp on American principles.

But fucking corporate apologists like you have no problems with that do you? It's not about what makes us a country to be admired but what makes you a dollar.... maggot.

[-] 1 points by Builder (4202) 12 years ago

I hope the pay is worth it, linker.

[-] -2 points by linker (-241) 12 years ago

so you were unreasonably searched and they found drugs on you? I dont know what your point is . Never mind - keep occupying - see where it gets you.

[-] 3 points by geo (2638) from Concord, NC 12 years ago

The point is human rights. Whether they are violated by a government or industry, it doesn't matter... either we have real freedom or its just another meaningless word. FYI, I don't do drugs... nor am I some college kid, I'm 58 years old.

And I will keep protesting un-American activities.

[-] 1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 12 years ago

"companies don't force you to do anything. you are free to choose to accept the offer or not. move on or not. choose another profession or not."

Somehow you responded with this when I said people need to start getting their priorities straight...

"organise for what? to extort their employer?"

???
