Ποτέ μην υποβάλει στο ΔΝΤ βιαστές



Okay, then, the Greeks probably won't ever get paid for their already stolen property*, plus 200 years of interest, plus pain, suffering and mental anguish;  Ελληνικό χρέος - πληρωθούν στο ακέραιο, και στη συνέχεια κάποιες!, so I went a googlin' to try and find someone with more credibility than I have trying to explain how and why the Hellenes are being "greeked" and of course the first hit is Alex Jones. I usually take his stuff with bags of salt - his shotgun approach usually puts a few pellets on the bird but you can almost hear the rest of the load rattling in the corn husks, but in this case, in this video, he is 100%.


I've been wondering why the vampires were so interested in all these small-potato economies, especially after they demonstrated their power in the Big Billionaire Bailout in America. Low-hanging fruit? Practice? I got sidetracked by the antiquities angle, and forgot about little things like shipbuilding, industry and good-paying, real jobs in Greece that would be more valuable.


Maybe AJ is a "conspiracy nut", but unless the Greeks want to live on picking olives and bussing tables for the tourists, they better listen up, and Americans better start paying more attention, too, because we don't even have any olive trees. 


* I was doing some more reading on the Elgin Marbles, and it's even worse than I thought; turns out that while the limey's were making off with the loot they dropped some giant equine statue down a 40' cliff and totally destroyed it! "Whoopsie, my bad, governor!" Why not just round up the damages to an even 700 million euros, and after that's paid, discuss further discussion.


Don't be a schmendrick, be a mensch!

Ελληνικό χρέος - πληρωθούν στο ακέραιο, και στη συνέχεια κάποιες!



The Daily Bell has a good article - IMF Suggests Greece Sell the Parthenon -


"Explaining that Greece "has an extraordinary portfolio of assets" Borges estimates that there is about "€280 billion alone in real-estate assets," of which the Greek government could dispose. We mentioned that Greece could dispose of the Parthenon the other day in passing, but [IMF official Antonio] Borges sounds like this is just what he has in mind! Exactly what does he mean by an "extraordinary portfolio?"


I would seriously suggest that this has already been done with the so-called Elgin Marbles, stolen from the Parthenon by the British (with "permission" of the Turkish Sultan circa 1812). Valuation would be difficult, of course, but according to Wikipedia, the British Museum paid 35,000 pounds for them in 1816. I'll leave it to the more financially sophisticated to figure what 200 years of compounded interest might be on that 35,000*; otherwise "priceless", plus pain and mental anguish to the greek people should neatly balance that account. Britain is in the EU, non? 

It occurs to me that the Egyptians and Iraqis (and how may others?) might also be interested in the value of those antiquities stolen or destroyed by those nations that now constitute the EU and their colonial progeny. India, Congo, Vietnam, South Africa, China - Who's with me on this?


FV   =   P (1 + r)Y  


@5% per annum, much more if compounded quarterly...


35,000 x (1.05)200  
=605,240,328.53 pounds
