Brussels throws insults at the Greeks, as the deadline arrives.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/greece-debt-crisis-athens-has-one-day-to-find-16bn-10353977.html Athens has just one day to find €1.6bn as it edges nearer euro exit Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has been branded reckless and a feckless liar by EU leaders The powers of the IMF, Brussels, the European Central Bank and European Commission now with the added weight of Barak Obama of the United States and Li Keqiang the Premiere of China, pile the pressure onto the Greek people to capitulate to the demands and ultimatum of Merkel, Lagarde and Jean-Claude Juncker. Jean-Claude Juncker appealed to Greeks to vote Yes in the referendum Make no mistake. The European Union is operated for the benefit of financiers, bankers and business interests and has little if anything, to do with peace and stability in Europe or the well being of the 500 million or so ordinary people who live within its borders. Any member country government who has th...

"even what they have shall be taken from them."

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/28/the-greeks-for-whom-all-the-talk-means-nothing-because-they-have-nothing The Greeks for whom all the talk means nothing – because they have nothing Georgios and his sister Barbara outside their donated caravan   This story is similar to hundreds of thousands of other stories from ordinary people all over Greece. They are the victims of "austerity" imposed upon them by previous Greek governments who were blindly  following the instructions of the autocrats of the  IMF, Brussels, the European Central Bank and European Commission over previous years.  Georgios Karvouniaris and his sister Barbara and the many thousands of other Greeks like them  are not those who have been drawing € billions out of the Greek banking system over the past weeks to invest in luxury cars, yachts or art in a bid to hide their money. They have nothing to withdraw. Despite what the media may say, and what those in Brussels and Wash...

The deceit and cunning of the IMF, European Central Bank and European Commission.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/24/greece-debt-crisis-talks-renewed-deadlock Greece debt crisis talks end in renewed deadlock The duplicitous bastards of the IMF, demonstrate yet again their intentions toward Greece and its people. Having met on Monday of this week to discuss yet another compromise proposal from the Greek government of Alex Tsipras, the IMF, European Central Bank and European Commission now destroy the possibility of an agreement which only two days ago seemed achievable. Clearly, Lagarde and Merkel together with elements of the European Commission are not prepared to allow any arrangement which includes higher taxation thresholds for businesses and the rich in Greece, but excludes more cuts and even higher levels of austerity for ordinary people.    Alexis Tsipras leaving the talks.   The objectives of the Troika are clear. Humiliate the Greek people and its government, seek to impose even harsher austerity, protect busine...

The arrogance of the European commission, Lagarde and Merkel.

  http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/24/alexis-tsipras-summoned-brussels-emergency-talks-greece-bailout-deal#comments Tsipras summoned to Brussels for emergency talks over Greek bailout deal Largarde and Merkel What an arrogant obnoxious collection of autocrats the "Troika" and its other European stooges actually are. Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, and Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister, "summon Tsipras to Brussels" rather like Hitler summoning some European leader to Berlin to be told what his country must do and how its people must behave. The days of the European Dictator return in the 21st Century. Lagarde of the IMF found the proposed temporary resolution inadequate and that German chancellor Angela Merkel was also having second thoughts. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras The response from Tsipras clearly should be...

The EU says, "Vote for who ever you want, but do exactly what we say."

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/19/greek-people-austerity-eu-greece-economic-crisis-democracy The Greek people voted against austerity – why is the EU ignoring this?   The whole point about this current Greek economic crisis is a simple one. The European Central Bank, the IMF, Brussels and Berlin, are saying to the 11 million or so Greek people, that you can vote for who ever you like and elect the government of your choice, but in the end, your government and you, must do exactly what we say, without question, debate or argument. Thank heavens that Alexis Tsipras and the Syriza government are saying "No" to the unelected and unaccountable IMF and Brussels cabal. We should have more politicians in this country with the backbone to stand up to the dictators in Europe and Washington. The arrogance of Christine Lagarde and her comment (in respect of next Monday's meeting) that "We do not want children in the negotiating ro...
