Between sprinklings of extermination, nationalism, colonialism, capitalism and fascism you find some jewels, "archipelago of infamy, alliance of murderers, killers, stranglers, slaughterers and slayers" and my favorite "salted ware has replaced ZyklonB". You see for your inner eye Goya's Spanish inquisition and an American lay preacher, you smell putrefied corpses and sulphur. The man is mad as a hatter.<br />I have a place of honor on my home office wall, an A2 frame with the most remarkable text I have read that month, it is a start-up conversation piece before the monthly ex-pat lunch. I have just blown up Berardi's letter on the copy machine. <br />PS. Anybody needs an A2 copy of Phoevos recent explanation of the Greek soul?<br />Lennard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-8859247161608244702017-07-14T07:56:35.887+02:002017-07-14T07:56:35.887+02:00@ Phoevos.

Tsipras came to power due to the colossal failure of an entitled dual-party system that represents the worst of the political forces in Greece.<br /><br />And for the record, it's Berlin that installed Tsipras in power because the other clowns were simply insufferable. And the funny thing is that Tsipras will win the next elections too because for as long as the 10YR Greek bond is headed below 5% then Tsipras is unstoppable.<br /><br />https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/GGGB10YR:INDDean Plassarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405528205926966179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-15709432376330844532017-07-12T07:20:45.488+02:002017-07-12T07:20:45.488+02:00To: Lennard.

By that definition Tsipras is a happy man, not only does he have the power, he also has 100 years of Marxist failure to take lessons from, he is in a perfect position to execute his Marxist changes in Greece in the best possible form. We are in the privileged position to watch these "changes" the next 2 years, the creation of a Marxist state, a historical moment as he calls it.<br />I am not a betting man but let me venture my guess at the "changes".<br />Whatever small attempts there ever was of measuring meritocracy will be abolished. That is social justice to the underprivileged and those with alternative intelligence.<br />Subsidized farming cooperatives will be attempted in a nation whose population is notorious for not being able to cooperate.<br />State (debt) financed transport infrastructure projects will be started. We will see highways to heaven, bridges without end and each village mayor will get his own airport. The Albanian navvies will again pack their shovels and the usual contractors will procure new earth moving equipment (Made in Germany), the village mayor's will again build houses to their numerous relatives.<br />De-privatizations will be carried out with the excuse that privatizations have caused monopolies.<br />Institutions will be politicized because they cannot be above the "will of the people".<br />You may say "but what about the changes comrade"?<br />Lennard<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-66553009733890886452017-07-11T04:48:06.169+02:002017-07-11T04:48:06.169+02:00"All men will become brothers".

He is committed to 100% flawed proEU thinking because (a) he does not want to lose the few friends he has left by telling them the truth and (b) that somehow, someway the majority's thinking will change to his cause (eventhough his cause is mortally wounded following the demonstration of the limits of his ability against the Beast of Berlin).<br /><br />And Berardi is 100% correct: there is no possibility of ever establishing democracy under the brutal regime of the EUSSR. The only way out is to slay the EUSSR beast. And Varoufakis is not a Dragonslayer. At best he is a storyteller and of those we have many in the european continent and enough confusion already about their conflicting stories.Dean Plassarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405528205926966179noreply@blogger.com
