Greece and the average Greek citizen, forget your pension, that has been stolen, forget retiring, you will work till you drop, consume till you die.

This is the fate of the lower middle and working classes across all of Europe as ordained by the higher classes.

You can tell that these are the higher classes as the protests ask/demand concessions (the protesters know their place, it is outside the gates)

The protesters validate the high status of the people inside the gates by protesting.

#JustStop

Go home.

Stop Paying
Stop Consuming
Stop Voting
Stop Validating Their Existence
Dis-Engage

Start Doing It For Yourselves.

& Lloyds could be up shit creek without a paddle, seems to me that chaos is now in control & it's hard to keep up with the pace of events . If it hits the UK, it will be some shock to the population as the majority opinion seems to be that it's those foreign types that are in big trouble, hopefully they will cop on at last.

I would like to be a fly on the wall to be able to see the reactions of the control freaks & our glorious leaders as they go into headless chicken mode.

It will be a tragedy for many, many people, chiefly those who are not to blame, but to be honest, if it's going to happen, sooner the better. Then the real fight begins to make sure those bastards can't do it again & that we can make the World a fit place for the children.

Thanks Neil.

"The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says this in Section 4:

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.

Basically, this clause is a green light for the President to force Congress to fulfill the debt obligations of the United States, whether it likes it or not… and Republicans are very aware of this."

However, on the domestic front, see http://www.zerohedge.com/article/sigma-x-trading-suggests-european-contagion-may-be-shifting-italy-uk#comments .

The Murdoch thing & Cameron's embarrassment have been a silver lining, it's just great to see petty tyrants up to their eyeballs in the same stuff as they peddle.

Next week should be interesting.

Please somebody, tell me I'm mad, stupid, badly informed or whatever & that there is no chance of this happening.

The major individuals would have obviously stached away plenty for a rainy day re:- Golem, Swiss deposit a/cs etc, but I am sure they will have a plan B on how to keep the game going.

I am trying to think this through as though I am a person who lives for power & has no empathy. So what to do ?

Get rid of Obama, install a face, such as Palin, who will be happy to do whatever is necessary to keep order & to deflect attention onto suitable scapegoats. I am assuming that in the chaos, the rest of the world, with their puppet governments would be adopting similar measures. This would be a perfect situation for the widespread application of Neo-liberalism & the milking of whole populations & states.

This whole business of the Republicans blocking the raise in the deficit ceiling. The politicians involved might be looney right wingers, but I think those who control them, the financial elite know the score. I think that they know that the Euro will collapse, sooner or later. Assumption:- this will result in the collapse of most of the world's economies, including the US. So knowing this they are using the ratings agencies, controlled by them to "Bring it on " I think they would prefer Obama to be in as big a mess as possible, seeing as it is coming anyway, the debt ceiling issue is part of the plan.
