Greek General Election - 2nd

Guardian Live - Greece: Reports in its 3.57pm post that the 2nd Greek General Election is expected to be held on June 17.

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Greek voters will have a choice folks, Greece has come to a crossroads, the voters can either conform their last vote which gave a clear message that the Greek people had finished with the EU imposed austerity package, or the voters can say that the last vote was a protest vote and return to the main Conservative and Socialist Parties that support keeping Greece within the Euro and thus want Greece to follow the agreed deal between the Troika and Greece. If Greek voters support extreme right and left wing Parties that want to dump the deal then Greece will have made a choice, the Germans will not back off the terms of the deal, any movement and President Hollande will try to dissolve the new agreed EU Treaty. Thus the Germans cant move on any new Greek deal, the Greeks in a odd way might be paying the price of a Socialist wining in France. That is irony folks.

Greece and the EU

Telegraph Live - Greece: Reports in its 5.31pm post that EC President Jose Manuel Barroso has stated that Greece should leave the Euro if it cant follow the agreed austerity deal of the previous Government.

Lets Get Real:

Folks this looks like Greece is heading to the end game one way or another, will the EU wait for another Month before Greek elections or will it make clear that Greece has broken its agreement and its time for Greece to EXIT the Euro. This humble blog could not believe its ears when it heard last night that out of the previous five billions euros that the EU had agreed to give to Greece it had in fact given four billion euros, so EU has thrown billions down the toilet when the Greek people have told the Greek political Elite to tell the EU and in this case Germany to get lost. Think about this folks, that is about two and half billion pounds, how many Schools, Hospitals could that build in the EU Countries, how many young people could be hired for job training. The EU is on LSD folks, its started to believe its own press statements, reality and the EU is are different, its the people of the EU that will suffer the flashbacks folks, not the elite, they never get hurt.

Greek Deadlock - Eurozone Crisis

BBC News: Reports that political talks in Greece between the main and minor Parties has failed to produce a Coalition Government.

Lets Get Real:

The Greek elite of the right and left has taken Greece down the toilet, they can not be trusted with the mandate to run Greece for the next couple of years. When it comes down to it, the Greek people have a choice, its about time the Greek political elite told them the truth, either they follow the austerity plan agreed by the previous Greek Coalition Government or they get out of the Euro. Those are the only choices that Greece has, what should Greece do? That is a hard question, in near future it should close its borders once night, freeze Capital transfers from banks and introduce a new currency, that currency should be local and backed by the Greek Government. One can postulate that before Greece would start such a policy it would get agreement from the EU/IMF/ECB to support the new Greek currency as the Greek Government could not go the money markets to raise cash, thus it is dependent on the Troika above. If Greece does not want austerity but is willing to accept tough times for a limited time period it should get out of the Euro and rebuild its economic structure, then the EU/IMF/ECB can have a firewall for the rest of the EU and its banks. Lets see if the Greek politicians have the will to make the tough decisions, it going to be tough in Greece folks.

Homeland and Double Agents

Daily Mail: Reports that the Al Qaeda Operative that was meant to be a suicide bomber on US bound plane was a double agent for Saudi Arabia and the CIA. The Double Agent delivered the bomb to the CIA and helped the US with a drone strike on those behind the operation.

Lets Get Real:

One can see why the TV show Homeland has appeal to President Obama, in that the terrorist is a double agent for Al Qaeda, one has to wonder what POTUS thought as he watched his favourite drama with real operation going on, one is worried that the story leaked, from CNN last night it seems that there will be an investigation how this was leaked, it placed people in danger, without any evidence one would have to suspect a White House leak, good way to reinforce Obama's hawkish stand on national security, but that's only a guess folks. Also as the UK Times reports our MI6 might have been part of the process, but its looking through the looking glass folks, the truth might never come out.

Good Money = Toilet Money - Eurozone Crisis

Guardian Live - Greece: Reports in its 4.14pm post that EU Finance Ministers are having a heated debate about giving the next part of the agreed bailout, the eye watering amount, 5.2 billion Euro's, the article notes the following, " ..A heated debate was being conducted among eurozone finance ministries on Wednesday...several unnamed countries resisting, according to EU sources. ".

Lets Get Real:

If your EU Finance Minister do you really want go home after giving a green light to Greece getting the next part of the agreed bailout deal, when the Greek voters have told the EU get stuffed at its most basic. The Finance Ministers will have to explain to their voters why they have to go through austerity when Greeks can bail out on a austerity deal and still get billions of Germans taxpayers money to fund their State. If the EU elite agree this deal they deserved to be out of office, its madness, would you walk on to a minefield after being told it had live mines. That is what the EU Establishment is asking of EU politicians, time to smell the coffee and dry out, the Party is over, its payment time, if the Greeks bail, they are on their own, that is the real world folks.

Money DOWN the toilet - Greece

Telegraph Live - Greece: Reports in its 3.45pm post that the EU is considering if it should give Greece the next part of the agreed bailout that was agreed between EU/IMF/ECB and Greece, the articles notes the following, " .. Eurozone officials are mulling a delay of the €5.2bn bailout tranche that will be disbursed to Greece tomorrow... ".

Lets Get Real:

The very fact that the EU is even asking this question shows they are on LSD, Greece is a goner, its heading out of the Euro, it will either walk or be carried out, and what does the elite of the EU want to do, give Greece another 5.2 billions Euro's for them to flush down the toilet. It looks like Greece will have to have another General Election, this might have a different result, the people of Greece will have to be told if they vote for no bailout Parties then they are out of the Euro, that simple and brutal folks. If this message is sent by the whole EU then Greece will have a choice, either support the main austerity Parties or face Greece being flushed down the toilet by the EU. Think about it folks, the EU wants to give Greece another 5.2 billion, what growth could that create in the EU, yes folks, all politics is local, after 11 Governments have fallen since 2008 its time for the political elite to get closer to the their voters and not the elite of the EU.

Greek Crisis - Eurozone Crisis

BBC News: Reports that Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the left wing Greek Party Syriza bloc that came 2nd in the Greek General Election is in talks with the main Conservative and Socialist Parties in Greece in an attempt to form a Coalition Government.

Lets Get Real:

Although this blog is in no way a left wing blog, it has some admiration for Mr Tsipras for saying NO to the EU/IMF/ECB bailout deal. At least a Greek politician has stood up and said NO, the rest of the EU political elite has allowed itself to become drunk on the Euro at the expense of the real politics on the streets. Lets get to the dark side of the Greek election, the election to the Greek Parliament of the Neo Nazi Party Golden Dawn, they blame immigration for the woes of Greece and want to place land mines on its borders. The Greek voters should feel guilty for voting for such extreme Parties, the birthplace of Democracy should have no time for that kind of politics. After what Greece suffered during World War Two, to vote for a racist Party is quite mad folks. It is expected that no Coalition can be formed in Greece, thus fresh elections, lets hope the Greek people have gotten this madness out of their system and vote for the main EU supporting Parties, time is running out Athens.
