I honestly don't know. The thing is that you shouldn't lent us any money in the first place. Even Merkel's advisors in the start of this mess, told her that it would be better for all concerned incl. Greece to just declare bankruptcy. The debt can't be re-payed in my opinion so i can't see anyone except the markets benefiting from this ongoing fucked up situation. |

I have heard the smear campaign against the Greeks, mocking their work ethic and making assertions about the people wanting hand outs. It's absurd. Governments do not make money, they collect (by force) and spend the people's earned labor. The people paid into these pensions. It only exists/existed due to the collection of labor hours from the public. The people have a right (and responsibility imho) to demand their own money back. And you're right OP, they won't stop there. They intend to loot the entire globe with their "buy it back for pennies" tactic. Unfortunately, so many people will not be able to see it coming because they are too busy following orders by bashing on their neighbor....a complete misdirection and distraction. I'm sorry you even had to write this. Feel no shame for yourself, your people or your country. We are all in this together and there is not one innocent person here on GLP or on the globe. We are all caught up in the stains of monetary greed and corruption. Keeping speaking from your heart and uniting rather than dividing. I think you're doing a very good job t that and it is exactly what the world needs. "Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow". ~Aesop "Once in a dream I saw a snake swallowing its own tail, it swallowed and swallowed until it got halfway round, and there it stopped and there it stayed, it was stuffed with its own self.

We only have ourselves to go on, and it’s enough…" -Charles Bukowski "Grasping at things can only yield one of two results: Either the thing you are grasping at disappears, or you yourself disappear. It is only a matter of which occurs first." -Goenka |

I feel no shame for meself or me country. We are Greeks afterall and we've survived more serious threats in our history for centuries, but the Greek civilization and our relaxed way of life survived em all. We have proved countless times as a nation that when TSHTF we pull are acts together and perform so i personally don't worry about a financial collapse. Bring it on i say, i'm bored already. It is hard sometimes, especially for some people from the other side of the Atlantic where capitalism is tha king, to understand that all the people deserve a fair crack at life, a decent pension for the last days, a health insurance, a free education etc. These are the basic and principal values that democracy was built on. So I am very appreciative that you totally get it. Last Edited by insertfunnyusername on 05/18/2012 10:23 AM |

Thanks for taking the time to dispel the rumors and I wish you the best of luck. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3693501 +1. All the best with the continuing battle OP. Thank you! Read a lot about your situation too and loved the way you said the bankers to shove it. I am delighted that your country is now prospering despite the whole world telling you otherwise. I think we would love to have some tips from some of your politicians and citizens. I mean the citizens voting for the own constitution? Can't get more democratic than that. |

I am pretty sure meself that Greece was chosen for a reason for this public sacrifice as Sammie states above. They want to ridicule and sacrifice first the civilization that our later western civilization and daily life was based on. It's 100% symbolic imho. The death of democracy. Who knows how things will pan out. Maybe, as Nietzsche states in that extract, something better and bigger for the world will emerge from Greece after the whole fiasco is over. But as i said in my op i don't think that Greece will manage to do this alone and with the world public opinion against her. People need to open their eyes. |

I recall watching it live on sky news online. I was awe struck when I kept hearing these loud BOOMS go off yet no one in the crowd was moving. After awhile I realized it was tear gas causing the booms and that the reason the crowd was not breaking up was because they were wearing gas masks. I thought, "Wow! The Greeks are seriously prepared. That is some professional rioting right there". I was impressed. I mean who has their own gas masks for rioting? However, it begs the question...... Professional Rioting? I know there has been a lot of social / political disputes in the recent history of Greece so I guess it isn't impossible that the people may have their own revolution gear but it also highly raises the suspicion that the rioting could have been started, prompted, or brought to new heights by sponsorship. Take for instance the OWS movement here in the states. I believe there are a lot of people protesting by their own choice and I believe they have all right to be demonstrating but I am also suspect of who (what interested group or party) is behind the movement itself. It stinks of COINTEL, controlled opposition which aims to distract and discredit a sentiment or movement that might otherwise prove to be more successful. I would be interested in your thoughts. How authentic were the riots? Do you believe they may have been sponsored to some degree (not in total of course, as naturally there was plenty for the people to be upset about)? Political cue?

We saw this happen in so many countries recently.... Greece, London, Egypt etc. I'll place my personal experience and opinion. From 1974 and after Hounda (the military coup from 1967 to 1974) we had a part of left that form some terrorist organizations. Those organizations is always believed to be connected with the anarchist and with some other countries terrorist and anarchist mainly from Italy.. this means that the extremistic part of the left was always highly organized in Greece. As far as I remember my self every 17th of November at the celebration of Polytexnio there were riots. My father had a shop not near but not far away also, that eveytime that day we had to close just for procation. From 6 of December of 2009 after the pointless death of a 15yo student by a cop the riots became much more orginized and bigger. Of course there have always been reports and consipacy theories of goverment agencys leading the riots so that they can distract public opinion as well reports especially at 80s and 90s of Pasok being connected to terrorist organizations like 17th November. (Pasok just for the history began as a leftcenter party) Last Edited by OXI Foveras on 05/19/2012 05:15 PM Love responsibility, keep saying, I alone will save the world If it gets lost, myself only is responsible N.Kazantzakis |

We saw this happen in so many countries recently.... Greece, London, Egypt etc. You mean the first anti-bailout protests and riots right? Because in December 2008 Athens center got literally burn. Russian secret intelligence stated to the Greek ones that all these riots in 2008 was provoked by some "forces" so the can tarnish the image of the government, who got too close with Russia for the western interests likings. The light booms you heard are noise & light grenades (not sure if that is the correct term in the US so correct me if i m wrong plz) and these grenades are very dangerous. A reporter got deaf for life last summer by these toys. In general many more people get down town these days to fight with the cops when the opportunity arises and are organized with everything. Gas masks, lemons, maalox, helmets. You have to go organized. It is a real battle. Never seen such amounts of tear gas used in me life. It is a good thing imo that more and more people are ready to give a physical battle for their rights. It shows the determination of the people and the cause. I ve even seen old women losing their coolness and throw a stone, coz the cops use extreme and unseen violence and this has turned the public opinion against them. There are about a thousand anarchists who are what i call professional rioters and are always there in every protest ready to fight. The thing is though that the last years have emerged a lot of photos and videos with cops dressed as rioters and messing things up and in some cases even provoking the riots in peaceful protests. There is even a video circling around with some "anarchists" putting on fire a MacDonalds shop and then talking with a cop. The para-state in the extreme these cases, but it is a part of every riot these days and indeed provoke a lot of the shit that is happening. You don't know who you can trust or not these days in the protests. It's been a while since we had a good one though, but it's about to happen in the very near future, especially if the election result is against the public opinion's view. |
