According to pertinent records, only 10% of Greeks debt to the Troika actually went into the national economy, i.e. as much as 90% went to German and French banks. They were bailing out themselves in 2008 at the cost of the pensions of the elderly, and massive unemployment.

The Biggest Winner From The Greek Tragedy
The economic turmoil in Greece and elsewhere are not caused by force majeure but deliberate. It can be avoided to happen again in the future as it should not have happened in the first place, provided the creation of shadow wealth is prohibited.

Inflexible EU Creates Conditions for Russia and China to Act
There is a great probability that even with the resounding NO vote against austerity the EU Vultures will never give away their inflexible position and just let the Greek economy slide deeper into recession. This creates impetus for the BRICS Alliance to come in as it has been itching for the past few weeks before the successful Greferendum.

Troika Lenders are Terrorists!
“There is a name for what they are doing to Greece: terrorism… Why did they forced us to close banks? To strike fear into people. And when we are talking about inciting fear, this phenomenon is called terrorism,”
China May Aid Greece Directly
Previously, China hinted that it would help Greece through the EU mechanism, but now there is an idea floated through a Chinese think tank that it might do so directly as the need arises, i.e. when the people of Greece chose to abandon the one-currency European Union.

Athenian Democracy vs. Neoliberal Gods
Tsipras is, of course, right; he had to call a referendum because the troika had delivered “an ultimatum towards Greek democracy and the Greek people.” Indeed, “an ultimatum at odds with the founding principles and values of Europe.”

The Troika Swindlers Are Just Stalling, The British Monarchy is Not
Most of us here have already understood that the whole financial system is rigged down to its core. We understand that the money they conveniently called liquidity are made out of thin air; the only stock in the market that is not subject to speculation is the human resource and the products they produced. The rest are mere pigments of their imagination and have nothing to do with the real economy.

Greek Default: What are the Options?
Do the Greeks deserve to be free from debt slavery?
As harsh as this simple question would be, this actually applies to everyone. The rulers of the world have their own doctrine, i.e. a presumption that people must be ruled before they kill themselves with their freedom.

Greece Won't Pay IMF Dues Today, Declaring Default
This is of course logical since a NO vote is highly expected on the 5th of July, the day of the Greek Referendum on IMF bailout proposal. Besides, even if it wants to, the Greeks are just bleeding long enough it would be impossible for them to pay without collapsing their own economy permanently.
An official declaration of default to the fiat economic system will be announced later today.

Greece Closes Banks 'til Referendum as ECB Flip-flops on ELA
Earlier, the ECB committed to not cutting the ELA funds to the Greek banks. But this has turned out to be a fluke as most of those in the Troika are hell bent on toppling the Tsipras government in much the same way as they imposed sanctions on Russia to topple Vladimir Putin.

ECB Just Folded to Greece!
This could be temporary, but the ECB is not cutting off liquidity yet and Greek banks may open tomorrow as usual. But to mitigate massive withdrawals, the Greek government might impose some form of capital control this time around.

Tsipras Gov't Submits EU Bailout "Blackmail" to Nat'l Referendum; Greeks Still Lining Up in ATMs @ 2AM
Greek PM Tsipras just submitted the IMF/ECB/EU’s “humiliating and blackmail” bailout proposal that requires the Greek government to impose VAT as high as 45%, and massive pension cuts that have resulted to the widespread “misery and pillaging” of the country since its debt crisis exploded five years ago, to a national referendum.

China Creates "EU Fund" as the Global Reset Continues Without MSM Coverage
From China’s perspective, the Eurozone economy has collapsed simultaneously with the United States back in late 2008.
Since then, both sides of the Atlantic just kept kicking the can by cooking the books, fantastic economic speeches and by persistently banging the drums of war for increasing military budget to continue feeding the military industrial complex.

Greek PM Tsipras Lambasted Troika's Absurd Demands
To his credit, Tsipras has been very patient with the Troika for the last several months since taking power. He even went to great lengths like replacing Yanis Varoufakis as its country’s chief debt negotiator just to appease the EU creditors, but to no avail.

IMF Lagarde Urges Renewed Crackdown on Bankers' Bonuses
One more indication that the IMF as an institution is now allied with, if not under the full control of the BRICS World Bank, is the renewed call for clampdown on bank CEO bonuses which is like adding insult to injury to an already battered global economy.

Greek Bank Wipes Out Poorest Customers' Debt
In a rare move for the industry, one of the biggest banks in Greece decided to forgive the debts of its low income customers. On the other hand, Yanis Varoufkis has been replaced as debt negotiator for failing to produce results in the last three months of talks with the Troika.
The Tsipras government realizes that the proud members of the Troika negotiating panel couldn’t stand Varoufakis’s tendency to lecture them about a more slave-friendly debt policies anymore.

The Euro and dollar are neck in neck. Unemployment is rampant and many are facing the crisis of whether or not to leave the EU to find work. Some would say there’s been no recovery at all.

ECB Preparing Massive Loss on Greek Exit from Eurozone

EU advises Greece not to help the poor; PM Tsipras Visiting Moscow Soon

Greek Government To Investigate Bailout
Sick minds are only capable of formulating destructive ideas producing bad results.
The financial trickery of creating wealth out of thin air, and ultimately through the sweat of the Common Man by forcing countries to suffocating cycles of debt has come from the sick notion that the world is really meant to be ruled by the few highly organized bloodlines.

Most Americans Are Slaves; Israel Asks U.S. $300mn for Missile Defense
During the time of the Marcos Dictatorship (1966-1986) we were mocked at as the “Sick Man in Asia” or “a country of 60 million cowards and one son of a bitch” by the Americans of those days.
We did revolt eventually in 1986, only to be hijacked by the Jesuit/CIA agents comprising the Council of Trent – Makati Business Club clique, the day after they appointed Corazon Aquino, widow of opposition leader Ninoy Aquino, to the presidency.
“Ninoy” Aquino was assassinated 3 years before, and US politicians and mainstream media were blaming the Marcoses for his death. Assassination of opposition leaders is not new for the CIA.
The root cause of our problem, therefore, is not domestic but foreign.
So, what would you do when you start to realize you’re just a slave, and the very government that’s killing your countrymen through false flag operations like 9/11 WTC would ask for more military aid on top of the $100 billion your government have provided before?
Would you just stand idly by and do nothing?

50 Shades of Greece
by Raúl Ilargi Meijer of The Automatic Earth
When it comes to the ongoing Greek question, I see a lot of people eagerly jump to conclusions, after the ‘debt deal’, that I don’t think are justified; certainly not yet. The overall conviction in the press seems to be that Syriza has given in on just about all fronts, and Germany and Dijsselbloem are the big winners.

Will Greece Be First in Europe To Join BRICS?
The newly elected Greek government remains defiant amid the scaremongering of European bankers led by Germany.
They are holding on to their campaign commitment of not accepting austerity-bearing loans, and they are demanding that Germany should pay for the economic damages it had inflicted on Greece during World War 2. These damages included interest-free bank loans and infrastructure damages it made against Greece.
Will Greece Be First in Europe
To Join the BRICS?
by Dean Andromidas
[PDF version of this article]
Feb. 2—The Greek people gave Syriza and the Independent Greeks an overwhelming mandate in the July 25 elections to say “ochi” (“no”) to their foreign oppressors. The performance of the new government, led by these two parties, in its first week in office, demonstrates that it is fulfilling expectations—much to the consternation of the Euro-fanatics bent on saving their dying financial system.

To make matters worse for these Nazis, it’s currency hrivnia is taking plunge as the Ukrainian Central Bank is tired of controlling its rate artificially.

ECB Pulls The Trigger: Blocks Funding To Greece
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/04/2015 16:25 -0500
Just what the market had hoped would not happen…
- *ECB SAYS IT LIFTS WAIVER ON GREEK GOVERNMENT DEBT AS COLLATERAL
- *ECB SAYS IT CAN’T ASSUME SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF GREECE REVIEW
What this means simply is that since Greek banks are now unable to pledge Greek bonds as collateral and fund themselves, and liquidity is about to evaporate, the ECB has effectively just given a green light for Greek bank runs, as suddenly it has removed, both mathematically but worse politically, a key support pillar from underneath the already bailed out Greek banking system, (or merely a negotiating move to let Greece see just what kind of chaos this will create ahead of the big D-Day on Feb 25th when ELA could be withdrawn).

Croatia Writes Off Debt of 60,000 Poorest Citizens
Of all countries hit by the ongoing financial crisis, it’s Croatia that is doing a first, i.e. write off its citizens’ debt, in cooperation with their creditors and its revenue department.
So if this solution is available all along then why would other countries not bailing out their citizens instead of the banks?
Why kill the real markets, i.e. the customers or the people, instead of sacrificing the corporations?
The only explanation is Agenda21, or the deliberate reduction of the global population through massive hunger.

Shift to European ‘New Deal’
Original article:
“Nigel Farage commonly used “troika” to explain how the Greek government was run after the euro crisis in Greece. Farage pronounced “troika” as a derogatory term to refer to a “dictatorship” that is composed of a member of the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank, and European Commission that “flies into Athens Airport and tells what the Greeks can or can not do.” [Wikipedia]
Greece, under the Syriza administration, is keeping its campaign promise of not taking any more bailout funds from the Union nor fully cooperating with it, effectively destroying the Union itself.
No less than Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem admitted this to be a fact.
Spaniards may be navigating g on the same track.
It is interesting to note that while Germany is threatening Greece about further “haircut”, or that the latter could be facing shortage of paper money soon, Russia is offering to bail Greece out should it decide to ask for it.
All of these mind-blowing events are happening within the first week only of Syriza Party”s hold on the Greek government. Yanis Varoufakis, the new finance minister, is also a blogger.
Watch the BBC interview on Yanis Varoufakis, too. It’s pretty clear the Cabal journalist is having a hard time.
