Greece Under Attack — Pray For Yanis Varoufakis
by Paul Craig Roberts

February 1, 2015
Greece’s new Finance Minister is a highly intelligent person. His likes are not to be found in any Western government. As he stands in the way of those who are determined to complete their looting of Greece, the Western looters are out to get him.

The BBC, as the interview in the link below demonstrates, was sicced on him. Much more is to come. Moreover, if the new Greek government is able to stand its ground and to prevent the continuation of the horrific looting of the Greek people, assassination of its leading members is not unlikely. Washington will not permit any independent governments to arise in Europe. If a Greek government succeeds in standing up for the Greek people and actually representing them, the idea might spread to Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, and then into Eastern Europe. Washington’s control over Europe would unravel.

The BBC presstitute substituted a deposition for an interview. She reeked with hostility toward the minister, an indication of the fury that foreign financial institutions and their vassal governments feel toward the new Greek government. As I wrote the other day, if western elites hate something more than they hate democracy and truth, it is accountability for themselves. You can bet your life that presstitutes like the BBC will do the elite’s hatchet work on the new Greek government just as they do on the Russian government, the Chinese government, and the Iranian government, and just as they did on the Serbian, Iraqi, Libyan, and Syrian governments and on the Taliban.

Sorry, if you borrow heavily from other countries you must be accountable and pay it back. Greece has no one to blame but themselves for the mess their in, that goes for Italy, Spain, Portugal, France and the rest of Europe that for years were living far beyond their means. You can't spend money you don't have and then borrow heavily of other countries and expect to have that debt forgiven.

Yes you should pray for him
He is going to get run over

Greece’s new Finance Minister is a highly intelligent person
He is an academic who is ignoring the realities of the situation
Intelligent people do not ignore reality

It is ironic that you are guilty of exactly what you are accusing him for. He is acknowledging realities while you are ignoring them.

If Greece gets kicked out of the EU, their county is going to collapse, and they'll be just another Bulgaria, or Albania.

The EU kind of let them get away with things for a long time. To hear this sob story now about how the EU bears some responsibility for the problems Greece mainly created for themselves, that could be true. Probably is true.

What is certain, the Germans will think of this as regrettable, and wash their hands.

They will still listen to the Greeks complain now outside of the EU, at least they do not have to give them anymore $$$.

Isn't there some deserted island without internet access where Paul Roberts and Yanis Varoufakis would like to go? Oh and wouldn't Noam Chomsky like to live there as well.

Much better, put them in the concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay and waterboard them until they fall in line.i

I disagree, it's best their whack job fan base self identifies.... Censorship sucks, even of the least well considered position.

If he acknowledge the realities of the situation he would not have acted unilaterally and would not be trying to win public support
The reality is he needs the creditors he is attempting to blame for past Greek excess.
The bill always comes due
End of story

So when is the USA gonna start paying back or any of the other countries. The thing most people find it hard to grasp, is if govts. were to start large scale repayment of debt, the negative consequences to the economic system would be MASSIVE. Debts are merely mechanisms used to control smaller countries.

Very easy to do when you can just print money. Greece does not have that option.
YEP,...they pretty much gave up ANY options a long time ago.

That's what happens when people don't want to face reality,...isn't it,...!!!

No, they the US Central Bank printed money (QE1, QE2, QE3 ... etc ...), to buy new bonds, not to pay back the old stuff.

Greece has that option too. They can leave the EU, and print all the money they want. Not sure what the purpose would be, but that they can do.
