The best way forward for Greece is to default like Iceland to restart its economy.

Refuse the EU Fiscal Stability Treaty that legitimises actions against national sovereignty. EU to guarantee Europes Eastern boarders for Greece to avoid paying 6bn in military expenditure, the 3rd largest among NATO allies. Help us nationalise the Central Bank of Greece which is a private SA with dubious connections to international financial circles. Help us claim the German war reparations still owed to us since WWII.

Greece, during its independence uprising in the 1820s was charged vast loans, but only received less than half of their value. From 1881 to 1893 Greece received more loans to repay the loans of independence, and went bankrupt in 1893. In exchange for writing off these loans, Greece lost control of vast national assets until 1979. In 1964 Greece was made to accept the entire value of its pre-war loans (plus interest) going back to 1881, without deducting what was settled, despite Greece having repaid most of the balance of these pre-war loans either by bankruptcy or otherwise. At the same time Greece was prevented from claiming the German WW2 reparations, currently 150% the value of the Greek debt, because Germany was important in the Cold War.

We ought to fight with all our powers against these crude and vengeful attacks that are being hurled against the Greek citizens, even against the vulnerable who are incapable to resist. In essence, these attacks in the form of a bailout, are threatening to destroy not only our lives, but also those of our children and grandchildren. In these crucial moments, we believe that we all should be united now as ever. We should fight and combat to defend our vested rights, our dignity and pride. We need your support to decisively and collectively give our battle.

Concerted speculative attacks, the trampling of the constitution and loss of sovereignty in a democratic state are the threats Greece is currently facing. Consequently, these threats remove the power from the people, through its elected representatives, to decide the socio-economic policies of their country. Our votes do not matter anymore! The rest of Europe will also become a victim of

these dictates unless we resist them!

The Greek Bailout violates EU nobailout provision, Germanys constitution protecting property and democracy and Greek Constitution protecting national sovereignty. Undoubtedly there is massive collusion between politicians and investors behind peoples backs! European countries, and particularly Germany, have won contracts for massive infrastructure projects and are our primary vendors of military expenditure of 6bn. In the past 3 years scandals of massive scale start surfacing. The current PM was the one who cooked the figures with Goldman Sacks to enter EMU. The Siemens scandal on bribing Greek officials is still unresolved. But corruption runs deep! Our former Minister of Defense is still in court for his inability to explain an increase in private equity of 137K dating back in 2000.

With our current political system corrupt to the bone and with a European status quo actively or passively colluding against democracy and humanity, there is no place we can call home!
In 2009, our deficit numbers were artificially inflated from 13.4% to 15.8% as opposed to with the view to invite IMF intervention! The case is currently in court! The Health Minister threatened Greeks on national TV with massacre if this scandal touched MR Panadreou. The above, inflated Greek public debt to unsustainable levels which was also called to bail out banks with further 58bn during the 2009 banking crisis. This caused an explosion of the deficit during the course of 2009. It was not made public until after the elections in October 2009 with the socialist partys motto: There is money! It bears the question is this the best politicians can think of as a solution? Minimum wage 550 Unemployment 25% Minimum pension 300 Minimum taxable income 5000 annually or 416 monthly MP salary: 10,000/month Who is non-taxed? Our Elite. Banks, Shipping, Hoteliers Are there bailout terms relating to them? No. It is not hard to see why people are increasingly adopting more leftish ideas.

Article 14 paragraph 5 of the Loan Agreement states:

The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the immunity (of the Greek state) to which it is or may become entitled, in respect of itself or its assets in total, from legal proceedings in relation to this Agreement, including, without limitation, immunity from suit, judgment or other order, from attachment, arrest or injunction prior to judgment, and from execution and enforcement against its assets to the extent not prohibited by mandatory law.
The bailout terms demand that bondholder banks and creditors take priority, and converts unsecured sovereign bond debt into intergovernmental debt with all Greek state assets as collateral, and the end of national sovereignty; a term never signed by any other country. It specifies that private property can be confiscated for reasons of national importance if required. 40% of the bailout money is going to international banks, 23% to private Greek banks (including the Central Bank of Greece, which is also private), 23% to the currently appointed Greek Government. Out of 300, 190 Greek MPs have signed! 43 were kicked out of their parties for disagreeing, Another 10 resigned prior to the voting in the parliament. Very few read it before they sign up for it. as

Homelessness has skyrocketed and is visible anywhere, in the Athens of 4 million, 1/4 of a million is being fed by soup kitchens. Unemployment has exceeded 20%, Youth unemployment under 25 has reached 50%. Documented suicides have doubled since 2010. The Greek Health Service is being dismantled. Pharmacies do not accept prescriptions because government owes them. Crime rate has been gradually increasing Many companies leave their employees unpaid for months Emergency property taxes imposed through electricity bills, leaving the poorest without electricity.

The first bailout came with strict conditions on austerity and cuts on public spending, pensions and public sector wages overseen by Troika, representative from IMF, ECB & the EU in order to oversee the reduction of the deficit. Mr Papandreou was falling rapidly from grace and the opposition was removing its support. In a desperate measure he asks for a referendum before signing the 2nd bailout. The rest is known, he is asked to go to Brussels, he resigns and a new unelected PM is appointed in a matter of days, in the interim, in clear violation of democratic procedures in our constitution. The choice? Mr Papademos, the very spin doctor of the cooked economic figures allowing us to enter the EMU. The initial view was to hold elections in February. Now the talk is about postponing elections indefinitely. Instead, the same political model emerged as a solution for Italy. To top this up, despite the savage cuts, the deficit is expected to increase until 2017 before it subsides to current levels in 2020.

A big part of the media controlled by the bankers have attacked the European periphery, by calling them PIGS and have aggressively started a racist campaign against the Greeks, the Greek heritage and the ancient Greek civilization. However, this goes deeper than an attack to the Greeks, it abolishes the basic ideas of freedom and democracy.

The international solidarity movement has been amazing and spreads across the world. We are not the only to face this issue as a country, the whole Latin America has been there before us, Iceland more recently! Portuguese, Spanish and Italians see the striking similarities in their situation. Even the German people face similar issues, yet in a more stable environment, with almost 0% unemployment, state controlled rents, guaranteed pensions, investment into their lifelong training, and with household products 1/3 of the prices any Greek has to pay. If only we could believe that along with our sacrifices we would enjoy the same standards. We would work to 70 to be free but not till 65 to be EU slaves"...
