A Greek Fairytale 'debt crisis'

I have lived in Greece for almost a year and to me it's clear that the 'economic recession' that has blighted the lives of millions of people around the globe has had little impact on economic activity within Greece. There are lots of reasons: it lies on the periphery of mainland Europe, cheap labour is attracted into its borders.......yet, the real reason it has not suffered a deep recession is that most financial transactions are made in cash and cash is king.

Greeks are known for their generosity, yet they have to work long hours (or two jobs) in order to eek out a living because pay and conditions are notoriously low. The Greeks have a 'different' culture to most other Eurozone countries, parents build houses for sons and daughters not for profit, you need connections to get anything done and to cut a long story short, they have a social cohesiveness that is very hard to break down, alter or modify. They are used to doing a lot of things the way that they have done them since time out of mind.

It is also clear that the financial scams that have blighted most other countries i.e. manipulation of the money markets by the Rothschilds /Goldman Sachs empire are steaming very quickly into Southern Europe and they now have Greece firmly in its sights. Unfortunately, the Greek prime minister is now selling out the citizens of Greece via 'so-called austerity measures' to convince the money markets (and the major EU leaders) that the country is economically viable and able to pay its debts. These are the same people who created much of the economic problems in the first place.

If you back-track two years or so it's not hard to find that it's the people who suffer during these economic shenanigans, not the bankers or their gofer politicians. Many people have been forced into survival mode and it's a daily struggle to retain a job or pay their mortgage. This suffering and economic uncertainty makes it very easy for governments to control their people. Some countries like the UK, France and Germany have played this scam on their people for so long that most of the workforce exist within mindset and experience this scenario as being 'commonplace, normal and business as usual.

The huge common denominator in what's happening around the globe financially is that he who controls the flow of money into and around the economy is able to dictate 'boom or bust' economic conditions. This is clearly seen in the UK where most of the banks have been nationalised yet these very banks have pulled the credit plug on many of their 'customers'. Times are very tough indeed for millions of ordinary people.

The people of Greece will now find themselves in the same vicious scenario that has gripped much of the rest of Europe i.e. cuts in public spending, job losses, changes to people's pensions, skyrocketing taxes, more new taxes ad nauseam. The best thing that could happen to Greece is for it to walk away from the economic constraints of the Eurozone and all its contrived debts.

Greece and Greeks have much to offer themselves due to their social cohesion and family bonds. They are able to survive locally on what they do as they are not too reliant on the money markets to assure huge profits for goods they produce and sell overseas. Indeed, the tourism industry in Greece has huge potential simply due to what is naturally here in boundless qualities and quantities, strong social customs, family first, family-friendly ways of doing things and lets not forget the amazing weather, sun, seas and islands.

If the powers that be have their way, the Greeks will be severely penalised for cash transactions simply because this is the quickest way that the government can quickly change social customs. Following the introduction of these so-called 'austerity measures' the next stage will be for the banks to change the way they have traditionally done business with their customers i.e. they will dry up and decrease the amount of money in the economy, just like they have done in the UK and elsewhere. Waiting in the wings like a drove of hungry vultures are the dark suits of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and if they get a foothold into the economic activities of Greece, life will never be the same again because when they come in, peace and prosperity flies out the window.

There is no point in trying to assure the faceless dark suits of the money marketeers that you are a good bet financially, because they are after more than just your money, they are after a simplified New World Order mentality where everything is carried out via an implanted chip in your body because this is the only way they can exert direct control on your life and how you live it.
