For what its worth something has to give soon and I am glad its getting to that point because prolonging the inevitable pain is getting so out of control. If they’d let it all flush out by now we would at least be close to the bottom by now.. they have just increased the falling height instead.

Geithner warns of rift over regulation
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e0990432-2c83-11df-be45-00144feabdc0.html
“Tim Geithner, US Treasury secretary, has delivered a blunt warning to the European Commission that its plans to regulate the hedge fund and private equity industries could cause a transatlantic rift by discriminating against US groups.”
“A letter sent by Mr Geithner this month to Michel Barnier, Europe’s internal market commissioner, makes it clear that the European Union is heading for a clash with Washington if it pushes ahead with what the US – and Britain – fear could be a protectionist law.”

Humans Are Slaves Not Worthy of Liberation
Do you feel free? Do you know what freedom is, or did someone have to explain it to you? In our freedom, men tear each other apart to be the leader, power corrupting their hearts. Free women play the role of the sex toy and ride the cock of power to benefit themselves, and these self-objectified women wonder why they are treated unequally. We are slaves to conformity, our masters at the controls of every aspect of our lives, they say what, when, where, why, and how. Their money fuels our lives and we allow it to continue on.
What have all these wars produced? More war? Glorification of violence? The separation and corruption of every human soul. Fear controls the majority, fear of the inevitable death, fear of poverty, fear of your neighbor. Your fear is obvious in your narrow-mindedness, your acceptance of stupidity, and how quickly you resort to hatred and closure when your opinions are threatened in any form. You live your life through televisions, computer screens, and mass symbolic pornography. Your highest aspiration is to be revered as better than everyone else. What is it that these “respected” men have that you want so desperately? Attention? Possessions? High-class cronies? Your ego commands your strings puppet, and your ego was forged by the machine called society that keeps you distracted while it invisibly herds you into mental prisons. Continue to fuel the machine with your life, yes, devote your existence to the benefit of the infrastructure so the men on top can continue ejaculating on your faces. Blind. Continue to tear at your fellow man for no reason except to be superior to him. Survival of the fittest. Those dead soldiers of old weep in mourning as their children spend their shed blood so selfishly.
Compassion is a decision while conceit is common place.
You call yourselves parents; you are nothing but the first stage of the mass indoctrination system. Rush in your busy life father as I cry myself to sleep because this society is what you work so hard to pass on to me. Continue to idolize yourself mother so I may have the same body issues as you when I grow-up. Continue your rush parents as your children become more perfect citizens that are even more malleable than you continue to be.
Evil has won; revolution isn’t even possible anymore because no one is willing to stand up for what they believe in. Humanity has been demoralized into distraction and self-gratification and all of you dammed people can’t get enough. You are literally not worth the life that flows through your veins prove me wrong, what have you done? You want someone to do it for you, you want someone to control you, you have convinced yourself this bureaucratic shit pile is necessary, you can’t even fathom an alternative, that’s how deeply you have fallen.
Continue what you call life, you slave.
F**K YOU SOCIETY I CAN DIE KNOWING I AM FREE.

EVERYONE is on strike today because we are fed up.
We did not steal or embezzle anything and we are asked to pay when everyone and their uncle know who took the money. We are told to give up a month’s salary but the first salary in Greece is 800 euros! Can the Germans or the Brits say the same?
Check the prices of products/services in Greece and then the rest of the EU. If our PM wants the employees to bail the country out then he should also make it so that one doesn’t sit at a cafe and pay three times the price of a coffee he’d pay in Italy.
He should control the merchants who put a higher tag on clothes to make a profit of 200% and he should take a walk to customs and ask why since it’s a free European market and all, the tariffs for everything that comes in are so high.
Of course we want to help our country and not see it bankrupt, but we are sick and tired of being taken for fools.
@DA
DITTO!!!
If all the Greeks that are on strike think that it’s a good thing that the state goes even deeper into debt they should be buying all the new bonds and refinancing the old ones. They’re actually protesting against the fact that nobody’s willing to buy them at low rates, so why don’t they buy them?

“There has even been a developing debate in the press (and here at PIMCO) as to whether a highly-rated corporation could ever consistently trade at lower yields compared to its home country’s debt. I suspect not, but the narrowing in spreads since late November solicits an interesting proposition: Government bailouts and guarantees such as those evidenced and envisioned in Dubai and Greece, as well as those for the last 18 months with banks and large industrial corporations across the globe, suggest a more homogeneous “unicredit” type of bond market. If core sovereigns such as the U.S., Germany, U.K., and Japan “absorb” more and more credit risk, then the credit spreads and yields of these sovereigns should look more and more like the markets that they guarantee. The Kings, in other words, in the process of increasingly shedding their clothes, begin to look more and more like their subjects. Kings and serfs begin to share the same castle.”

Defaulted Loans May Haunt Seniors
by Ellen E. Schultz
Monday, March 8, 2010
‘A little–noticed law could soon result in smaller Social Security checks for hundreds of thousands of the elderly and disabled who owe the U.S. money from defaulted loans and other debts more than a decade old.
Social Security benefits are off–limits to creditors, such as credit–card companies and banks. But the U.S. can collect debts to federal agencies by “offsetting,” or withholding Social Security and disability payments.
The Treasury currently withholds benefits of 3.1 million Social Security recipients to recover defaulted student–, farm– and small–business loans, unpaid income taxes, amounts veterans owe for health care, and other debts to the government.’
@elsoto:-
Wow! Real time debt slave rebellion!
This feudal period is going to be well documented, unlike the previous one.
Didn’t the Holy Roman Church ban Usury during the last dark age?
http://finance.yahoo.com/retirement/article/109011/defaulted-loans-may-haunt-seniors?mod=retire-planning
@EB, Funny how none of the popes have decried usury since JP I’s untimely death.
@maxkeiser, That wouldn’t be so bad, since he’d have to be dead first.
EU getting help from ICE?!
“”Iran will continue to attempt to procure the goods that will be subject to new sanctions through the same mechanisms and doors that are currently open,” Brian Davis from the Brussels office of the US immigration and customs enforcement agency (ICE) told this website.
The office was recently set up in the EU capital for “strategic reasons,” in order to co-operate not only with Belgian authorities, but also the European Commission, its anti-fraud office (Olaf) and the World Customs Organisation, which is also based in Brussels.
ICE agents are focusing on tracking down buyers of so-called dual-use items – high-tech components with applications in medical, telecoms and other fields, but also in Tehran’s nuclear enrichment programme.”

Unemployment is sky-high.
Also, the past few years we have a wonderful new thing called “rented employees”. Companies hire people for 6 months/a year and then they fire them so they don’t have to raise their wages and get new ones to replace them.
Man, I welish the thought of an all out derivatives conflict between EU and the US.

Future “solutions” for the Greek dilemma?
Tobin tax and international clearing union (inevitable):
http://blogs.euobserver.com/irvin/2010/03/02/greece-socialism-for-the-rich-and-capitalism-for-the-poor/
“The longer term solution involves changing the economic architecture of the eurozone in two critical respects. The eurozone needs a proper Federal Budget enabling the centre to help the regions. A number of economists have called for this before; eg, Andre Sapir called for a Federal ‘rainy day fund’ back in 2003, and several prominent MEPs have recently argued that a genuine Federal Budget is needed. Such a budget—perhaps 5% of Eurozone GDP initially— could easily be funded by a small Tobin tax on euro foreign exchange transactions.
What is also needed—and here I recall the argument advanced by Keynes at Bretton Woods in 1944— is a mechanism whereby countries such as Germany spend their surpluses in deficit countries in a matter which increases the productivity, and hence the repayment capacity, of the latter.
The powerful nations of the eurozone have generously bailed out their banks using ordinary people’s money. It is time for them to support the ordinary people who are most at risk from swingeing cuts in government expenditure being called for by these same financiers.”
The man is indicating a global regulator is needed for exchange rates and sovereign reserve manipulation (international clearing union). The Tobin Tax will enrich sovereign banks (private citizens).
Neither ‘solution’ gives the Greek nurses or teachers any aide.
Actually I wish I was in Greece, spring over here in Amsterdam still isn’t showing itself.

Yesterday in an interview Faber recounted his direct experience of people starving in the streets of Buenos Aires after the currency collapse of the ’90′s. This happened in what he called a ‘relatively rich city’….

International clearing union= Global world bank= integral part of new international reserve system
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=ahhNLYue7laM
The break in the yuan/dollar peg will be the catalyst to the new system which will cede all sovereign control to a global regulator. Break may occur in December 2010 if yuan in included in a new ‘global reserve asset’ (“provided” by the IMF) without meeting convertibility as a part of a new sdr (international reserve unit).

IMF’s fiscal tough love the best option for Greece
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/commentary/imfs-fiscal-tough-love-the-best-option-for-greece/article1497029/
@MotherEarth:
The big boys are going to alter the concept of ‘money’ by creating a reserve asset which is not used as a global currency (but which most likely will include currency). The idea is to include GDP (as a function of some subjective twist inculcated through the art of rhetoric) in the sdr asset. Yuan won’t need to be convertible. The new system will eliminate sovereign digress from the IMF/ECB industrial goals. Men get to play god at last.
You are quite inconsistent, Mother. The new system is the only way you get your way in the forced-fed ideology/profit-driven necessity-wrung fascist uber-state:
“I mentioned climate change. At first sight, this may seem not to fall within the IMF’s core “mandate.” But I see assisting our members to deal with the serious macroeconomic and financing consequences of climate change as very much part of our responsibility to support long-term global stability. And I believe we must work with others—including our colleagues here at the World Bank, of course—to craft creative solutions to what is perhaps the most critical issue facing the planet in the 21st century.”
http://www.imf.org/external/np/speeches/2010/022610.htm
Crafting creative solutions!!! Oh! Joy! (or would that be Ode to Joy?)
“A longer-term question is whether a new global reserve asset is needed.
Certainly, having several suppliers of reserve assets would limit the extent to which the international monetary system as a whole depends on the policies and conditions of a single, albeit dominant, country.
And one day, the Fund might even be called upon to provide a globally issued reserve asset, similar to—but in important respects different from—the SDR. That day has not yet come. But I think it is intellectually healthy to explore these kinds of ideas now—with a view to what the global system might need at some time in the future.”

The question at this point is which assets will be protected in the new system. Already the securitization process has been sliced: with cmbs as the “old Maid’s card”.
If this is the calm before the storm, people are looking to ‘park’ their money in safe assets. Hence the question about sovereign bonds.
Any asset priced within the dollar system is a dud. That system is unraveling: prices at this point forward see increased fluctuation and volitility.
The only way to protect the Chinese reserves is to include the yuan before convertibility as a reserve asset.
The dollar and all its nefarious associations looks to be tarred and feathered and sent out of the village.

Dont be too harsh on Lloyd ‘doing God s work’ Blankfein. He doesn t know better – he is not a banker. As a matter of fact, few of today s top brass at Goldilocks are. They were traders at J. Aron & Co, today the (physical) commodity trading arm of GS. You know, those who buy and sell the real stuff, ship it around the globe and dealing with their mates in the biz (such as Glencore, Vitol, Trafigura and so forth) – some define it as trying to screw each other, day in and day out. A good school to move on and screw the rest of the world – this time with gratis government money and lender of last resort insurance to boot – i.e. your, me, every stupid taxpayer, underwriting their shenanigans.
@ AngryGreek

@X
Even the CBC? I am not sure if you’re from Toronto or not, but do you remember when CNN’s John Roberts and Ali Velshi were on City TV. They were a blast back in the day. John was known as JD Roberts the headbanger! He had the best mullet in the Great White North, eh! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLkFC0guAA8 I guess they sold their rock n’roll soul to the corporate devil.

I knew that Roberts was on City; he is still by far the best of the current CNN lot.
Did not know that Velshi was there as well.

I was downtown Athens today. It seems things are escalating, since even though everybody was on strike just like two weeks ago, today many more took to the street. If the last time there were around 30-40 thousand, this time there were twice as that, maybe even more. If you add to that the fact that public transportation was on strike too, then the number becomes even more impressive. I walked about an hour just to get to the rallying point.
During the previous strike, the head of GSEE (biggest workers’ union) was beaten up by workers who thought he is a sell-out, which he is.
As bad as the numbers of the polls are, reality for Papandreou is worse, since they were published by the one of two media groups who are really pushing for those measures to pass. All propaganda, no credibility. I think they are playing with a tinderbox here.
There’s another, two-day strike ahead.
Here’s an interesting article relating to Greece and the collapsing economies around the world.

@Stacey What kind of commentary do you want, just articles or videos and interviews
check out this video about the greek government considering the sale of islands (i’m assuming they are talking about the easter aegean where the oil is)

Dramatique hein X ? Hey X ? Aren’t tha Canadians all bilingual since Trudeau introduced official bilingualism ? Apprendre le français won’t kill you. You have to put a little bit of energy and brain power. Ronron didn’t die. You know what the anglo-saxons need ? Another Norman conquest. Pour toi Jim. Just kidding.
Hey Jim “Honnis soit qui mal y pense.” “Dieu et mon droit.” Hogtown ? Comme c’est original !
The place to be is Iqualuit !, Yukon 2000 miles of Hogtown. or Isles de la Madeleine, 200 miles of mainland in the middle of the Atlantic ! far away of what will soon be coming. Toronto and Montréal will be very cool with an economic depression. Have family in New-Foundland. Not far away from Iceland. The moose and the baby seal meat is just yum yum.
The sale of Greek islands and islets was considered about ten years ago during Greek PM Simitis reign. As for Acropolis, Berlusconi was considering privatizing the Colosseum, while the Spanish government had created an uproar when they considered selling to Japanese investors some of Gaudi’s buildings (of course there was also the fact that the Castilian government was trying to sell off Catalonia’s treasures). I guess cultural artifacts should belong to the proper people: those mentally challenged who want to grab everything else.
@kostakosta are you greek? Where are you from in Athens?
Hullaballoo FOX’s video sucks. The logic behind the script and Mr.3d generation Greek-American “specialist” is similar to the one implemented by the whites vs native US Indians. Goldman Sachs lady agent Ms. Loudiadis (another Greek@Goldman Sachs) acted in a totally unethical way manipulating Greece, a sovereign nation, offering extremelly well paid support while hedging/betting against Greece at the same time!!!. When human greed is left uncontrolled, and banksters are untouchable by Law, tragedy is on the way. Democracy has been superseeded by Bankocracy…
