As we all know, central bankers across the world have only delayed the inevitable economic collapse and made it far worse through their money printing and debt manipulations. Greece started this charade and they appear to be the country which will end it. Fourth Turnings always intensify. Hold on.

Syriza Wins Greek Election, Leader Alexis Tsipras Declares ‘End to Vicious Cycle of Austerity’
This is from the live updates at The Guardian Newspaper here.
Here’s summary of a momentous election result for the future of Greece and Europe:
- The anti-austerity far left party Syriza has won the Greek election by a decisive margin, but just short of an outright majority. With more than three-quarters of the results in Syriza is projected to win 149 seats in the 300 seat parliament.
- Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras said his party’s victory marked an end to the “viscious cycle of austerity”. Referring to the neoliberal conditions set by the IMF, the European Commission and the European Central Bank, he said: “ The verdict of the Greek people renders the troika a thing of the past for our common European framework.”
- Outgoing prime minister Antonis Samaras conceded defeated by acknowledging some mistakes. But he added: “We restored Greece’s international credibility”.
- To Potami, the centre-left party could be the kingmakers in the new parliament, with a project 16 seats. Its leader Stavros Theodorakis has not ruled out a deal with Syriza. “It’s too early for such details,” he said.
- The far-right Golden Dawn party is projected to come third in election, despite having more than half of its MPs in jail. Speaking from prison its leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos said the result was a “great victory” for the neo-fascist party.
- Syriza victory has been greeted with alarm in Germany. The ruling CDU party insisting that Greece should stick to the austerity programme. But Belgium’s finance minister said there is room for negotiation with Syriza.
- Leftwingers across Europe have hailed Syriza win. Spain’s anti-austerity party Podemos said Greece finally had a government rather than a German envoy. Britain’s Green Party said Syriza’s victory was an inspiration.
Imagine if one of America’s client states tried this, they’d be bombed and invaded on some flimsy pretext like Willful Monetary Defiance.
The left wing socialist Syriza fuckers have promised the Greek people even more imposable undeliverable happy happy joy joy bullshit than the current elected EU suck up bastards. The Greek people will be lining up free shit as soon as the elections are over. Fist Syriza will fuck the EU oligarchy and the German Bankers good and hard, then they will fuck their own people even harder who will in turn fuck them to death while the international banksters take brutal revenge on every living Greek and every Greek who will be born for the next two or three decades. The next few years may be the greatest Greek tragedy ever written. This is a giant all inclusive inescapable clusterfuck that will leave every asshole in the land bloody, torn and festering.
Don’t forget the other broke-ass countries eager to go back to their old currencies.
Popcorn time. Can’t wait
And BTW, the international banksters have a whole lot bigger problems growling at them from just up the street. I don’t think greece is scared
Let’s dance, Star 80.
Greece just fucked itself to death. They went from the pan into the fryer.
A lot of people may think I pull a video out of my ass, but consider – it is the end of the movie, it jives with the title of this article, the guy has lost everything and the greek guy teaches him to laugh and dance his cares away. If only.

Your right. Greece ain’t scared…………….their fucking stupid. Wait till it comes home to the sheeple here in the USA. They will be scared and stupid at the same time while being mostly over medicated, over weight and undereducated. When it’s our turn we will make the soon to come EU Clusterfuck Spectacular look like a little dusty bunny.
Bruce, I look around every day and wonder what all these people are going to do when the music stops. I’m amazed that in the space of a decade, half the population believes money grows on trees. In that same decade, we’ve witnessed the destruction of the mortgage market, the value of higher education, and the stigma of welfare. Gov employees who’s job it is to uphold the law gorge at the public trough and then cry about their property taxes, unable to connect the two. Buckle your seatbelt.
For now the dollar is still the king of the paper money. The central bankers may be able to keep things going for years or even decades.In a way this is good.Gives us all more time to prepare.
Think about what is going on in those highly taxed, heavily socialized countries, the people have grown up expecting and now demanding the government to provide happiness. To hell with debt, or promises to pay back shit. Screw that. They have done fucked themselves.
Then look at the US, the only way for politicians to keep the majority happy or remain in office is to promise free shit, the solution is to raise taxes on the wealthy, as if the wealthy will simply remain wealthy forever or continue to preform and be happy with a 30% return on sweat equity after taxes. We are in the romance stage, preparing to get fucked.
Over in Russia and China those people have lived in some pretty dark times.
But now the average Russians standard of living is higher, the birth rate is up, the literacy rate is up, the people admire Putin and are willing to suffer a bit more.
China is becoming the Easts lender of choice, making more currency swaps with other nations. Both nations are putting on condoms preparing to fuck.
Greece has defaulted on it’s debt several times before. What they do is borrow as much money as possible, give it to the people, then inflate their currency.
This isn’t going to work any more – as long as they are tied to the Euro. Cause only the Germans can print Euros.
So either Greece drops out of the Common Market (so it can print it’s own money), or Germany will have to bail them out.
I think the next thing is Greece will agree to pay some but not all of the debt. But actually not pay any of it.
This will give a fig leaf to the banks. Who have pretending that their capital for which they lent out against is good.
Now that the ECB announced their version of QE last week, I wonder if Greek bonds will not be offered as bonds to buy since the new Greek party in charge is anti Euro?

When a person owes the bank 10,000 dollars he has a problem. When a person owe the bank 100,000,000 dollars the bank has a problem.
When SHTF I hope the liars, traitors,thieves, whores and other leeches and looters get what is coming to them. I hope I can help that happen in my own small way. From the Jane Fondas to presstitutes to politically connected firefighters and sports team owners, there are a lot of people who have retribution coming their way.
The dollar is just the cleanest shirt in a laundry hamper that is on fire.
New Greek slogans. I love slogans!

Just for the record …. I say GOOD for the Greek people!! (For the record, most, if not all, governments are corrupt, so puh-lease don’t me that Greek-government-is-corrupt crapola … as if ours isn’t.)
Vote me down, fuckers! I can take it!
It’s like this; Bank of America makes a $500,000 shit-fuk Option ARM loan to a buyer whom by every measurable standard they know is UNABLE to repay the loan. Blame the borrower? Ummm, no. Bank Of America is to blame, so fuck them. Same goes for dumb-shit countries who gave loans to Greece.
The Greeks are singing in the streets today!
Maria Callas (1923-1977) was an American-born Greek soprano and one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century. Not a huge fan of Opera … except for voices like this.
If the new Greek reqime were smart, they’d bring in some consultants from Iceland. I’ve heard they have a different way to treat banksters!
