Now its bolted down safes and guns and meat grinders to get rid of home invaders... No calls to the police at all.

This is the REAL new world order, unlike anything put on paper before.

And it will come to pass in those days, that the stranger will be shot on sight from afar, and his remains shall be left in the open at the road side, torn by wild animals, as a warning to others not to stray into territory owned by those who mean to keep it...

For the remnant which is left shall guard everything they possess with great jealousy, and those who have not shall perish in great numbers, and all justice shall be fled afar off.

But it would be quite appropriate if Germany gets something for the money, other than the same old "it wont happen again".

There is one more factor that maybe the Euro bankers didn't consider. Some of the Russian money in those banks was deposited by Russian mafia kingpins.

The bankers better watch their backs. The Russian kingpins aren't likely to stand idly by as billions of dollars are taken from them.

Will anyone be surprised to learn some of these bankers are found murdered? Not me. Their hit men fly into a country, kill and fly out before anyone knows what happened.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36555921


The russians have the choice of taking a hit or paying it all themselves.

These ridculous threats wont open the german taxpayer pocket.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33724411


Let me be clear. I'm not threatening anyone. Hell, I'm an American just watching things unfold.

My understanding that the Russian money in Cyprian banks is that it is private money from private Russian citizens, some of whom are very likely organized crime figures.

They don't play by the same rules you might want to follow. They will kill the people they believe are responsible for taking their money. Whether it opens the pocketbooks of the German banks is besides the point.

They send a message in the clearest terms. It's half revenge and half a warning shot to anyone who might try to steal their ill-gotten money again.

Mark my words. This is a high risk game the bankers are playing if they think they can wipe out Russian mafia money and not pay a big price.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36555921

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33724411


I never said the hits would stop the present theft. I'm saying the Russian "dons" will seek retribution, and they won't simply be asking for repayment.

It's like the goons who come to collect on a mafia loan from a debtor who hasn't paid up. He get's his legs broken. Does that mean the borrower is able to pay back the loan? No. But it does men he has broken legs.

The hitmen who knock off the bankers won't be making threats. They will just quietly do their job: Hit and Run. In. Hit. Out.

After a series of targeted hits, the EU bankers will probably take notice, and that could affect their future actions.

It's unlikely that the Russian crime leaders gets paid back. But what is almost certain is that there will be some bankers whose lives are in great danger as are their family members.

If so, what should one think of all the other countries who keep falling for the same trick?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36540283


are you being obtuse?

its not the countries, its the govts in collusion and/or desperation for what they thought was easy money and an easy ride up there with the big boys of europe. the eu accepted anyone and everypne, despite fixing the finances to gain entry, to brussel's knowledge

the whole project was a lie from the start. when people voted (something i have never had the opportunity to do) for the common market, the full truth of where it would lead. lisbon treaty? this treaty, that treaty?

people voted NO, but that was the wrong answer. brussels asked them again, until they gave the correct answer

its all about expansion, empire
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34765812


You´re mixing things up.

If one says "Germany does this, Germany does that", then the same applies to the other countries.

As well, when you say that people didn´t want the euro or the EU, the same is true in Germany.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34765812


It´s true, but only up to a point.

You can see "Alternative für Deutschland" and Beppe Grillo´s movement in Italy, for example. You can see protests in the street in Greece.

You can see money printing socialists like the French and austerity fans like the Germans. You can see Greece caving in and Cyprus refusing...

So, it´s not completely true that we´re on a set course. And it is not necessary to wait until one minute before Armageddon to look for alternatives--though that´s pretty much what we are doing.

Re: Cyprus banks may never open again
find the assets of the Bank of Cypress and exactly what property is collateralizing its loans and you will understand why they are tanking the banks in greece, cyprus and soon to be elsewhere in the EU.

the gobble up phase has clearly begun and the truth is really hidden behind illusory terms such as bailouts and deposit seizures....its pure and simple asset and collateral confiscation.

if you controlled a bank...how would you like to take the bank that holds a loan collateralized by the oil and gas rights in the Agean Sea or somewhere...you get the bank, dont have to loan the money...and just wait for one small default to accelerate the loan and take the assets....then sell them to your buddies corporations for 10 cents on the dollar and have a stake in your buddies corporation..its a game played at the highest level that many will never understand.

Re: Cyprus banks may never open again
If they follow the example of Iceland set in 2008 they would in one single day create new banking entities, move all private assets to the new bank and leave the old bank with the debts. The new bank overtakes all personal and business finance, the process is seamless. The old banks hold debts without much value. For example all cards works without a hitch.


However,this is not without loss to the private customer due to the power of creditor banks, mostly foreign multinational banks.
Anyway it beats the absurd idea of having private savers pay for the wrecklessness of the banks and politicians that lended the money in the first place.

The new bank overtakes all personal and business finance, the process is seamless. The old banks hold debts without much value. For example all cards works without a hitch.


However,this is not without loss to the private customer due to the power of creditor banks, mostly foreign multinational banks.
Anyway it beats the absurd idea of having private savers pay for the wrecklessness of the banks and politicians that lended the money in the first place.

Lol, you're getting something man, it's called profit from interest, you guys describe it like you're giving free stuff or something, which is obviously not the case with loans.

Riddle me this.

If lending money to greece and cyprus would be such a good deal, then why will noone else give them money?

Why don't you personally buy some greek or cypriotic debt?

So not all the "profits" go to us germans.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33724411


Profits don't go to the average German, they all go to ECB and banks, you have to work this out with your govt and get a refund but your govt/press is too busy scapegoating other countries to distract you from where their profits really go. All the tards here playing the typical North-South blame-game seem to lack the brains to understand that they've found the perfect scheme to leech us both while dividing us at the same time for further future leeching.

FYI Russia had offered a loan to Greece too before the bailouts with EU were signed, but for obvious geopolitical and security reasons it was declined. Greece should had gone bankrupt long ago, all economists have said that, even Merkel's advisers said the same when the crisis started, so maybe you can riddle me why they're not doing what most think is the right thing to do? Probably there lies the answer for what you want me to riddle for you.

Jan. 2011 Austrian finance minister stating that so far Austria has a profit of 19 millions on interests on the Greek bailouts, i believe they are more now off course, so probably your assertion is ridiculous. Instead of playing their game and blaming whole countries and tens of millions of people with crappy stereotypes, maybe you guys should have a chat with your own politicians too and demand some of these money back, just saying.

You want the truth?

The truth is that Germany already took a massive it in greek debt.

Why are you showing a source from January 2011? Becuase that shit is already 2 years old.

Here is a recent source. Germany lost 14 billion Euros.

I never said the hits would stop the present theft. I'm saying the Russian "dons" will seek retribution, and they won't simply be asking for repayment.

It's like the goons who come to collect on a mafia loan from a debtor who hasn't paid up. He get's his legs broken. Does that mean the borrower is able to pay back the loan? No. But it does men he has broken legs.

The hitmen who knock off the bankers won't be making threats. They will just quietly do their job: Hit and Run. In. Hit. Out.

After a series of targeted hits, the EU bankers will probably take notice, and that could affect their future actions.

It's unlikely that the Russian crime leaders gets paid back. But what is almost certain is that there will be some bankers whose lives are in great danger as are their family members.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33724411


You are naive. I don't watch too many movies these days and have rarely watched a mafia movie in my entire life. I saw one Godfather movie, but none of the other popular movies of that era.

Russian hit men don't threaten. According to my source on this sort of thing (his wife's family was mafia), he says professional hits are often done by Russian hit men.

You might recall a couple of high profile hits in recent years. In one case the man was contaminated with a high level of radioactive material. His body became grotesque in its appearance. The victim made public appearances in an attempt to shame the Russian government.

It had no impact on the Russian government. They were behind it.

Putin would stand 100% behind the 'dons' if they decide to start killing a few people. He is thoroughly outraged and pissed by this theft.

IOW, the Germans would get zero cooperation from the Russian government in trying to find the killers.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36555921


If Putin is so outraged, that he would consider such a serious detoriation in the relationship towards Germany, then he should foot the bil.

The choice still stands for Russia, they take a hit or they pay it themselves. There is no reason at all, why Germany should pay for russian money.

It´s more complicated than that.

They can record all the profits they want. The reality is that Greece is overindebted and its economy is impaired. So, it will not be able to pay the €19 million, nor the billions it owes in debt.

The money is not real. The same is true for pretty much all of the system, not just Greece. Sooner or later, there will be very serious consequences.
