Make no mistake about it. The solutions that have been instituted across Europe have one purpose and one purpose only – to save bankers and the ultra-wealthy oligarchs that run the show. They don’t give a shit about the common person. Let them eat iPads.

Greece may have a new government that is the same as the old government, but what is important is that it is “fixed“.

From the Daily Mail: “Starving Greeks queue for food in their thousands as debt-wracked country finally forms a coalition government“:

Starving Greeks queued around the block for free food handouts yesterday as the country’s politicians managed to end a crippling stalemate to form a coalition government.

 

Young children as well as the elderly waited in line in Athens to collect the parcels of fruit and vegetables donated by farmers from Crete to help ease the devastating austerity faced by many Greeks.

    The sheep and cows are being fed so they won’t revolt. Do you see these people wearing rags? No. They look dressed in clean cloths and getting their food rations. All is well.

    The irony, Greece is playing Germany in the Euro soccer semi-final this weekend. Ha, more bailouts if Germany loses.

    I read this book [currents of space] by Isaac Asimov where a ruling elite, that controlled the kyrt [fabric] supply refused to evacuate the planet even though their sun was about to go supernova and wreck the kyrt market when it destroyed the planet.

    Our so called leaders would probably do the same thing to protect the too big to fail that ultimately ALWAYS fails.
