Greece - The Eurozone's first colony? Or Where War Begins?

So before forking over the money - Schauble is making some outrageous demands of Greece - the main one being that Greece should postpone their elections so a new government won't come to power that may do what Iceland has done in two citizen referendums - say, "hell no!" to the banksters - including the German banksters. Think about that for a second - here's one sovereign European nation - Germany -trying to prevent another sovereign European nation - Greece - from holding democratic elections. That's where this financial crisis has brought us. As expected - Schauble's demands have been met with anger and animosity from Greece. The Greek President called it an "insult." The Greek Finance Minister suggested that a conspiracy was underway to have Greece kicked out of the Eurozone. And Greek newspapers are routinely publishing political cartoons portraying the Germans as Nazis. 

So things are getting pretty nasty in Europe. The Germans - aside from Angela Merkel, who still thinks Greece can be saved - are growing tired of throwing their money down the blackhole Greek economy that's being ravaged by IMF austerity measures. And the Greeks are on the verge of overthrowing their government which, itself, is now being run by an unelected bankster. Thanks to austerity spending cuts - schools in Greece are running out of books - people aren't getting the medical attention they need with a 40% cut in the public health budget in 2010 - and now the IMF wants a 32% cut in the minimum wage - along with more lay-offs for government workers. That explains the riots in Athens. Even the Financial Times - the newspaper where rich people talk to rich people - is catching wind of the volatility and the prospects of violence across borders. As columnist Wolfgang Munchau wrote in Sunday's Financial Times, "German MPs expressed outrage at the Greek outrage. Bild, the German mass-market daily, is calling for Greece to be 'kicked out' of the eurozone. I shudder at the thought of an act of violence committed against Germans in Greece or Greeks in Germany. This is the kind of conflict that could easily escalate." This crisis would have never even come into existence had it not been for shady financial deals orchestrated by Goldman Sachs. Shady financial deals that are almost identical to what banks like Goldman Sachs dished out to American homeowners, which eventually led to the financial collapse in 2008. No matter which way you look at it - the banksters have their fingerprints all over this mess. So it's not about a Government living beyond its means - it's about a form of capitalism - or vulture capitalism - that allows big banks on Wall Street to make enormous profits while ruining entire national economies. If the bankster-mandated austerity continues in Greece - and the Greek people are pushed closer and closer to the breaking point - and the animosity among the Germans and other creditor nations grows - then Europe could even explode into war. At least that's what history tells us may happen.
