Ο Soros διαταζει, οι υποτακτικοι εκτελουν, οι αφελεις ακολουθουν... *


Διαβαζουμε στους τιτλους: "Μποϊκοτάζ στο Facebook από εκατοντάδες μεγάλες εταιρείες".

Για οσους δεν γνωριζουν, ο Soros εχει βαλθει να διωξει τον Zuckerberg, και τρεχουν τωρα οι υποτακτικοι του να ικανοποιησουν τις επιθυμιες του πολυχρονεμενου George.
Τα προσχηματα αφθονουν, παντα για το καλο μας...

Premeditated murder

Cartoon by Yannis Ioannou

Greek professor of economics Yanis Varoufakis writes in his blog today:

  • There are 10 million Greeks living in Greece (and falling fast due to migration), ‘organised’ in around 2,8 million households that have a ‘relationship’ with the Tax Office. Of those 2,8 million households, 2,3 million have a debt to the Tax Office that they cannot service.
  • 1 million households cannot pay their electricity bill in full, forcing the electricity company to ‘extend and pretend’, thus ensuring that 1 million homes live in fear of darkness at night while the electricity company is insolvent.
  • Of the 3 million people constituting Greece’s labour force, 1,3 million are jobless.
  • Of the 1,3 million jobless only 10% receive unemployment benefits. The rest must fend for themselves.
  • Of those who work in the private sector 500 thousand have not been paid for more than three months.
  • Contractors who work for the public sector are paid up to 24 months after they provided the service and pre-paid sales tax to the Tax Office.
  • Half of the businesses still in operation throughout the country are seriously in arrears vis-à-vis their (compulsory) contributions to their employees’ pension and social security fund.

The policies that have created, sustained and deepened that situation are still imposed on the country. Yet  it is all too obvious that, instead of curing the 'patient', they intensify the illness with no signs of recovery in sight, other than official hot air.
WHY?
What is the reason of insisting upon a therapy that clearly makes more harm than good?
Could any doctor continue applying the same catastrophic medication for years without being accused of criminal negligence -if not premeditated murder?

Societal Ills Spike in Crisis-Stricken Greece
By LIZ ALDERMAN

ATHENS — “Five euros only, just 5 euros,” whispered Maria, a young prostitute with sunken cheeks and bedraggled hair, as she pitched herself forward from the shadows of a graffiti-riddled alley in central Athens on a recent weeknight.

As a chill wind swept paper and trash across a grimy sidewalk, Angelos Tzortzinis, a Greek photographer, caught sight of Maria lowering her price to the equivalent of about $6.50. Maria, who would only give a pseudonym, had hoped to get some money for food — and for a cheap but dangerous new street drug that has emerged during Greece’s crisis, guaranteed to obliterate her sorrows, if only for a moment.

With the country heading into the fifth year of economic depression, and unemployment near 60 percent for young people, greater numbers of women and men are offering their bodies for next to nothing to get any scrap of money. According to the National Center for Social Research, the number of people selling sex has surged 150 percent in the last two years.

Paul Krugman Has Won *


From Business Insider 24.4.2013:

The Economic Argument Is Over — Paul Krugman Has Won

For the past five years, a fierce war of words and policies has been fought in America and other economically challenged countries around the world.

On one side were economists and politicians who wanted to increase government spending to offset weakness in the private sector. This "stimulus" spending, economists like Paul Krugman argued, would help reduce unemployment and prop up economic growth until the private sector healed itself and began to spend again.

On the other side were economists and politicians who wanted to cut spending to reduce deficits and "restore confidence." Government stimulus, these folks argued, would only increase debt loads, which were already alarmingly high. If governments did not cut spending, countries would soon cross a deadly debt-to-GDP threshold, after which economic growth would be permanently impaired. The countries would also be beset by hyper-inflation, as bond investors suddenly freaked out and demanded higher interest rates. Once government spending was cut, this theory went, deficits would shrink and "confidence" would return.

This debate has not just been academic. It has affected the global economy, and, with it, the jobs and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people.

Germany, a safe haven for money laundering *


Deutsche Welle 30.10.2012:

Money laundering as an organized crime is increasingly becoming a problem in Germany, says a new report by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA). But fighting money launderers has proven to be difficult.
About 13,000 cases of suspected money laundering were reported last year; in half of the cases, authorities later confirmed their initial suspicions.

That's a record high since 1993, when Germany's Anti-Money Laundering Act came into effect. From then on, banks had to report large transactions to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).
According to the BKA's report, transactions from Italy, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus caught the investigators' attention. In addition to real estate agents, restaurant and amusement arcade owners, it appears to have also become common among individuals, to allow criminals to use their bank accounts for money laundering purposes.
