ATHENS, Feb 18 (Reuters) – Greek opposition lawmakers said on Thursday that Germans should pay reparations for their World War Two occupation of Greece before criticising the country over its yawning fiscal deficits.
Well Tin Foil Hat and Conspiracy … trouble is most of the conspiracies that I have had doubt about turn out to be true. Its not that I mind that much its just not accurate to doubt the utter stupidity of government’s. I mean Plunge protection?
I did not and could not believe this as even a clinical as I think I am I have limits. It was not feasible that a government would be so well criminally stupid was it? I even laughed out loud saying dont be ridiculous they cant just type in a figure they choose ha ha ha ..well im wrong again !!! I need more tin foil !!!

Secrets Of The Plunge Protection Team
There are just four people who control all of the U.S. markets through their use of dangerous and explosive DERIVATIVES. cough cough really ? This is what a fellah called Mike Whitney Says… is he correct i dont know… but hay if you just relied on the BBC you would not know much, correct?
The long-run projections of the Congressional Budget Office suggest that the US will never again run a balanced budget. That’s right, never.
…
There is of course a distinctive feature to the eurozone crisis. Because of the way the European Monetary Union was designed, there is in fact no mechanism for a bail-out of the Greek government by the European Union, other member states or the European Central Bank. Nor is there a way for Greece to devalue its currency, as it would have done in the pre-EMU days of the drachma. There is not even a mechanism for Greece to leave the eurozone.
Yet the idiosyncrasies of the eurozone should not distract us from the general nature of the fiscal crisis that is now afflicting most western economies. Call it the fractal geometry of debt; the problem is essentially the same from Iceland to Ireland to Britain to the US. It just comes in widely differing sizes.
a casual look at the fiscal position of the federal government makes a nonsense of the phrase “safe haven.” US government debt is a safe haven the way Pearl Harbor was a safe haven in 1941.
Even according to the White House’s new budget projections, the gross federal debt in public hands will exceed 100% of GDP in just two years’ time. This year, like last year, the federal deficit will be around 10% of GDP. The long-run projections of the Congressional Budget Office suggest that the US will never again run a balanced budget. That’s right, never.

MSM Documentary on the Euro last night on German TV – ca. 1.5 hours

Very well done .. showing the pros and cons … mainly listening to opponents and champions of the Euro explain their points.
What was funny was that DMs are still being used by retail shops.
People can still buy in DMs, the shop then sends them into to the Bundesbank for exchange.
Many people were asked about the Euro .. mainly against it in terms of all the problems it brings with it.
The sdr as unit/account is being maintained by Sarkozy and the G20 as the new/reserve system which is to replace the dollar/reserve system. The transferral of power is indicated by the preminence of Germany in the negotiations for Greece debt/penury. The perspective that Europeans are somehow more ‘moral’ than Americans is an assertion which is easily ‘gotten over’: we are governed by bankers, the EU is a governing body controlled by bankers. The end of American capitalism sees only the greatened siphoning of the people’s wealth by the bankers with access to the sdr. The need for ‘sacrifice’ and ‘shared values’ constitutes the rhetorical basis for the continued theft of the people’s labor through capital criminal action.
I expect ALL the Gold bugs would say that … and quite rightly IMO.
Include Ron Paul and all the “honest” Economists that don’t get much media attention .
It is completely incongruous that one would support the EU and maintain an advantage for gold as a store of wealth. The EU is driven for profit by the ECB which rotates within the sphere of the IMF/BIS. The sdr as unit-of-account is forwarded by the EU project.
Trader Dan Comments On The IMF’s Supposed Gold Sales
Posted: Feb 17 2010 By: Dan Norcini
Dear Friends,
After the pit session trade had already closed for the day in New York, news came out that the IMF was planning on selling the remainder of 403.3 tons of gold, …
…
… First is the timing – it comes on the heels of a resumption of the uptrend in gold with many technical indicators having moved into the buy mode. It also coincides with another brand new all time high in the price of Gold priced in Euro terms at the London PM Fix….
…
… the timing of this announcement is therefore no coincidence but was timed to attempt to derail the returning bullish sentiment in the yellow metal. Why announce the sale publicly which is guaranteed to receive a lower price for the metal than if the IMF had just quietly sold the metal into the market. This is reminiscent of then Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s announcement that England intended to sell its hoard of gold. That guaranteed that Britain would receive the lowest price possible.
Secondly, China was one-upped by India’s purchase of some 200 tons of gold late last year and got caught flat footed. The spin on this gold sale is that the IMF announcing that they would sell the gold into the open market means that Central Bank demand for gold is not as vibrant as the market was led to believe. That is an …
…
…
To state therefore that Central Bank demand for gold must not be as robust as originally thought is quite shallow analysis.
…
…
“The euro was and is a political movement (remember I said that politics is one of the three key forces to watch) that spans decades if not centuries, and encompasses much more than just a transactional currency.”
What do you think is the author’s agency indicated by this thesis, Dork?
Within the author’s agency lies his intent.
The article completely ignores the advantage maintained by those within the circle of governance called the G20 (the sdr gang). The dissing of Washington and Wallstreet ignores the global governance as it is being foisted upon the people by the emissaries of the IMF/BIS.
What I think is that the value of gold will not be decided by Wallstreet, Washington, or the blog writer: the value of gold will be decided by the men retooling the sdr-reweight due in December 2010. Your writer thinks his many words will lead to rectitude: his words are belied by his intent.
I read that article last night on 321 gold.
About the last paragraph, “we will soon see a gold-backed currency.”
Didn’t Jim Willie say this months ago?
@Max,..Great article you posted,. but who the fk are “THEY”, exactly ?
The feudal system has altered over time, but still functions, the rights of allodial ownership have continued to be denied to us, and the Roman Catholic Crown still pulls the strings behind a wall of deceit. Our legal system has been replaced with Roman Law, our possessions leased back to us through taxation, our physical bodies the property of the Crown Corporation.
They condition and indoctrinate the population to not only be compliant to their dictates, but to be so subjugated, they enthusiastically force those around them to be just as compliant.
They have removed the coinage monetary system, and replaced it with a fiat monetary system, resulting in a constant defrauding of the people, taxes expand while services decline, fiat money values constantly erode, so the burden builds, economically enslaved, mentally subjugated, socially isolated; has the Roman Catholic assault ever reduced?
They educate only enough to allow function, they do not want the bulk of the people to see things clearly, a developed mind is a dangerous tool against an establishment of liars, thieves and subjugators, a criminal body in control of a dullard population.
“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Doesn’t say anything about the abolition of voluntary servitude does it? Do you know what a US citizen is?
Do you know why the use of what you have come to see as money is in fact a privilege benefit?
Well, it is confusing, Phil. If Goldman Sachs does represent the defacto US Treasury, then the call to end Goldman Sachs would be a call to end the US of A? I wonder because the GEAB latest issue (that Youri linked) called Goldman out specifically.
It must be that Paul Craig Roberts was speaking the truth. At the time I thought his claims only served some rhetoric: but seeing the concerted campaign against one investment bank makes me wonder what significance this bank services.
If one believes that all evil emanates from the US, then the call to end Goldman and guillotine the bankers would seem just. But, alack, that is a naive view. I think the insidious beginnings of the BIS declare that the evil has metastisised from a point-source in Europe.
War criminals. Does the Geneva Convention on war crimes covers the crimes done by Goldman Sachs ?
Does anybody know if Angela Merkel is serious about Goldman Sachs or it’s just hot air ? Anyways the German people that love soo much the USSA, will soon be eating the Goldman Sachs vomit. USA ! USA ! USA ! Number ONE !
Blogs like yours, MISH, and Market Ticker, Naked Capitalism and Regie Middleton’s, Zero Hedge etc….. are destroying the scumbags from the official media that are dying. Who wants to pay for Goldman Sachs propaganda from TIME, Forbes or Business Week. Blogs are the enemy that Obanana and Brown want to silence.
Interesting article about the OUTSTANDING job you are all doing for our enlightment.
People are enslaved first in their freakin brains. It’s not very difficult to liberate you. Arrest the f—ers and execute them. We should introduce the death penalty for the people at Goldman Sachs. But you see there is always a fly in the ointment here. We should also have to execute the political retards running the countries and doing business with neo-nazis like Goldman Sachs.
Rape and pillage is effectively Goldman Sachs modus operandi.
Hey max
Can you explain how GS do that with the price of Gold??
I bought some gold in 08 before everything went “PoP”
But I am amazed that the price of Gold is where it is because the price of everything here in Oz is just going up and up and up.
I always thought Gold was the hedge against inflation??
Can you explain?
Underground bunkers, remote homesteads for the oligarchs and the governmental and banking puppets that support them.
FEMA camps for those who are part of the coming uprising .
World wide economic collpase. World Wide civil unrest as society falls apart at the seams.
From the dust a new Phoenix will arise and a 1000 years of peace will follow.
Or maybe this just a bad acid trip. You decide. LOL Time will tell. PS stop trying so desperately to save your physical esscense, dig deeper and save your soul.
I feel like some type of devine intervetion is almost upon us. Maybe just maybe this complex illusion that we call civilization is fading into the the ether.
The Worlds oligarchy is in imminent danger . I feel these sub species, are starting to feel a little like the Russian and French Royals did just before the uprising.
Are you thinking of asking political and humanitarian asylum to Russia ?
Big on Brown in the USSA. Brown ! Brown ! Brown ! In the USSA they want Brown ! like in Nazi Germany. Europe should declare war to USSA. There is really a casus belli against Obanana and the USSA. Europe should effectively cozy up with Russia and kick out USA from Nato. That too would be a good start.
Although I wasn’t so thrilled about the song, Max hit the nail on the head. The banksters are human $$$ vacumns that suck whatever money they can from the people. It’s a wonder how people don’t realize what’s going on. We are being treated as sheep to be sheared…for what? For the too big to fails to get quarterly bonuses. Paulson doesn’t have to pay taxes on his stock options, while my wife and I have to pay 4% compounded interest (daily) on taxes we “owe” from last year. What a rip and a bunch of Bull S**T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Doesn’t say anything about the abolition of voluntary servitude does it? Do you know what a US citizen is?
Do you know why the use of what you have come to see as money is in fact a privilege benefit?
the IMF gold is in deep storage. as in not mined yet.
@Dork
Yeah, the word fiat should have been thrown in there. It is The Onion though, just having a laugh sham
Here’s what the IMF has to say about the ‘IMF gold’:

Come on Danny all money is symbolic otherwise it would not be money
Well, it is confusing, Phil. If Goldman Sachs does represent the defacto US Treasury, then the call to end Goldman Sachs would be a call to end the US of A? I wonder because the GEAB latest issue (that Youri linked) called Goldman out specifically.
It must be that Paul Craig Roberts was speaking the truth. At the time I thought his claims only served some rhetoric: but seeing the concerted campaign against one investment bank makes me wonder what significance this bank services.
If one believes that all evil emanates from the US, then the call to end Goldman and guillotine the bankers would seem just. But, alack, that is a naive view. I think the insidious beginnings of the BIS declare that the evil has metastisised from a point-source in Europe.
U.S. Economy Grinds To Halt As Nation Realizes Money Just A Symbolic, Mutually Shared Illusion

@frances … “where did the IMF get their gold?”
LOL … well, as they only own “rights” on Gold, I suppose they have to get some country to give it to them !
@Marc … “Anyways the German people that love soo much the USSA”
Do you mean to 60 million Americans with German ancestry ….
… or the 80 million that didn’t emigrate ?
War criminals. Does the Geneva Convention on war crimes covers the crimes done by Goldman Sachs ?
Does anybody know if Angela Merkel is serious about Goldman Sachs or it’s just hot air ? Anyways the German people that love soo much the USSA, will soon be eating the Goldman Sachs vomit. USA ! USA ! USA ! Number ONE !

Blogs like yours, MISH, and Market Ticker, Naked Capitalism and Regie Middleton’s, Zero Hedge etc….. are destroying the scumbags from the official media that are dying. Who wants to pay for Goldman Sachs propaganda from TIME, Forbes or Business Week. Blogs are the enemy that Obanana and Brown want to silence.
Interesting article about the OUTSTANDING job you are all doing for our enlightment.

So is Goldman Sachs really a proxy for the US Treasury Dept? If so, where did the IMF get their gold?
Gold up sharply before the NYSE open.
BTW … now Soros and Buffett are holding all that paper Gold ( GLD ETF ), why doesn’t someone ask them at what price they will want to sell it ?
OTOH, it is NOT physical Gold … just trading paper !
@Mike .. LOL .. I agree !
One day i shall make the American people suffer for this!

People are enslaved first in their freakin brains. It’s not very difficult to liberate you. Arrest the f—ers and execute them. We should introduce the death penalty for the people at Goldman Sachs. But you see there is always a fly in the ointment here. We should also have to execute the political retards running the countries and doing business with neo-nazis like Goldman Sachs.
Rape and pillage is effectively Goldman Sachs modus operandi.
Hey max
Can you explain how GS do that with the price of Gold??
I bought some gold in 08 before everything went “PoP”
But I am amazed that the price of Gold is where it is because the price of everything here in Oz is just going up and up and up.
I always thought Gold was the hedge against inflation??
Can you explain?
Max
You Ye anything about Soros raid on the £ back in 1992?
mike
phil germany
obviously, if people really were concerned gold would be at 3,000 an oz.
it’s obvious GS has nothing to worry about as long as they keep the price of gold
at levels that suit their purposes.
Underground bunkers, remote homesteads for the oligarchs and the governmental and banking puppets that support them.
FEMA camps for those who are part of the coming uprising .
World wide economic collpase. World Wide civil unrest as society falls apart at the seams.
From the dust a new Phoenix will arise and a 1000 years of peace will follow.
Or maybe this just a bad acid trip. You decide. LOL Time will tell. PS stop trying so desperately to save your physical esscense, dig deeper and save your soul.
@Max …. I’m curious as to when GS makes you an offer to work for them !
e.g. would mean you have to sign a “nice and lucratove” confidentiality agreement … as is normal in Banks .. i.e. to keep your mouth shut !
Hasn’t globalism led to more slavery? For example, Mexicans and others are being used as indentured workers in the US.
depression alert
. . . the rich have to start feeling lots of poverty before the poor feel the extreme poverty that leads to such an outcome
in other words, this is just the beginning of the middle, not the beginning of the end
I feel like some type of devine intervetion is almost upon us. Maybe just maybe this complex illusion that we call civilization is fading into the the ether.
The Worlds oligarchy is in imminent danger . I feel these sub species, are starting to feel a little like the Russian and French Royals did just before the uprising.
Are you thinking of asking political and humanitarian asylum to Russia ?
Big on Brown in the USSA. Brown ! Brown ! Brown ! In the USSA they want Brown ! like in Nazi Germany. Europe should declare war to USSA. There is really a casus belli against Obanana and the USSA. Europe should effectively cozy up with Russia and kick out USA from Nato. That too would be a good start.
Although I wasn’t so thrilled about the song, Max hit the nail on the head. The banksters are human $$$ vacumns that suck whatever money they can from the people. It’s a wonder how people don’t realize what’s going on. We are being treated as sheep to be sheared…for what? For the too big to fails to get quarterly bonuses. Paulson doesn’t have to pay taxes on his stock options, while my wife and I have to pay 4% compounded interest (daily) on taxes we “owe” from last year. What a rip and a bunch of Bull S**T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MaxKeiser
Every nation on this earth is enslaved. Its up to individual to break the chains and live a life of subsistance and non servitude.
We all have to stop boot licking and idolizing Warren Buffet types and and their knob polishing followers.
And after the preppers, the next generation will be called the BROWNSHIRTS. I am serious.
