"Strikes intensifying pressure on Athens; EU may seek deeper cost cuts" by Associated Press | February 17, 2010

I mention it, they bring it up. Is the BG reading me, readers?
:-)
ATHENS - Greek customs officials and finance ministry employees walked off the job yesterday to protest government austerity measures designed to pull the country out of a debt crisis that has shaken the entire eurozone.
There is a LESSON in their for you somewhere, America.
The three-day customs strike will affect imports and exports, with a skeleton staff processing only certain items such as perishable goods and pharmaceuticals, and could affect the supply of fuel.
Finance Ministry employees - including those at Greece’s much-maligned statistics service, which was accused by the European Union of helping cause the crisis by faking the country’s economic statistics - walked off the job for four days.
There is a LESSON in there for the U.S. GOVERNMENT, too!!!!!!
The strikes came as European finance ministers in Brussels warned Athens that it would have to prepare even tougher budget cuts if its current austerity program can’t reduce its massive deficit....
Hellooooo, AmeriKa, helloooooo!!
Time to SHUT DOWN the EMPIRE and GET the LOOT BACK from BANKS!
Athens has until March 16 to report back to the EU on its progress. But the EU’s top economy official, Olli Rehn, said yesterday that he wanted the Greek government to supply answers by Friday on how it used currency swaps and how that affected debt and deficit figures.
Don't ask them, ask GOLDMANS!!!
You know, the BANKSTERS who SOLD THEM the S*** and then PROFITED OFF LOSING INVESTMENTS by BETTING AGAINST the same investments they were highly touting!
The measures that Prime Minister George Papandreou’s new Socialist government has announced so far have already caused a backlash from trade unions.
It's among EVERYONE in the WORLD save the SICK ELITES!!
And AS IF one had something to do with the other:
Also yesterday, police said a bomb exploded at the offices of American financial services firm JPMorgan Chase & Co., causing no injuries. The blast occurred early evening yesterday in an upscale area of central Athens, following a warning telephone call to an Athens newspaper.
Uh-oh! FALSE FLAG ALERT!! AGENT PROVOCATEUR APB!!!
Get out your Gladio, Greeks!!
Cui bono, 'eh?
Moving right along, inference implanted and all:
Eurozone leaders pledged last week to help Greece “if needed to safeguard the financial stability of the euro area as a whole’’ - but did not say how any bailout would work.
Too late; Goldman's screwed you all so they could loot us all.
EU countries that use the common euro currency have pledged to help Greece if it can’t repay its debts, but want Athens to make big spending cuts first.
If Greece shows it isn’t on course to meet its targets, the finance ministers of the other 15 eurozone countries would vote on whether tougher action is needed and would impose extra measures on Greece, said Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who has led EU talks on the crisis.

Warned you about the sovereignty, but would anyone listen?
No, no, no one listened -- except maybe the Ireland.

Oh, is that how they do it -- like a GLOBAL GANG, huh?
The new spending cuts would focus on raising value-added tax and energy taxes, setting new excise duties on luxury goods.
Yup, CUTS and INCREASED TAXES! What a great mix!
Greek Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou insisted that he is already ahead of schedule on swinging budget reductions and that public finances reported a slight surplus last month thanks to a one-off tax on large companies.
Not what you elected, was it Greeks (I know how you feel)?
And the NEW ADMINISTRATION now LYING like the LAST ONE, huh?
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, my Greek brethren!

"As the dollar falls, crude oil surges" by Bloomberg News | February 17, 2010
Yeah, the LAW of SUPPLY and DEMAND has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING now because of CASINO-PLAYING CURRENCY SWAPS on Wall Street!
NEW YORK - Crude oil surged the most in more than four months as the dollar fell against the euro, bolstering the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment.
That can't be good if the euro is s***!
Oil rose 3.9 percent as the euro rebounded from the lowest level against the dollar in nine months.
Translation: Your dollar is going in the dumper, 'murka!
Commodities and stocks also gained after manufacturing in the New York region grew at the fastest pace in four months.
Pfft. Whatever.
“Oil is rising because the euro is stronger and the stock market is up,’’ said Adam Sieminski, chief energy economist at Deutsche Bank AG in Washington. “There’s not any oil-related news behind this move.’’
Translation: There is NO MARKET anymore, readers.
Wall Street has DESTROYED IT!
The euro has weakened 3.9 percent against the greenback since the start of the year, though, partly due to concern over the euro zone’s stability in the face of large debts among member nations. Finance ministers from the 16 euro nations told Greek authorities to prepare more deficit measures by March 16, in case Greece doesn’t rein in the region’s largest deficit enough.
Yeah, ONCE AGAIN the GREEK THING is at the ROOT of it all!!!

Mainstream MarketWatch: Prepare for the End of America
Mainstream financial news source MarketWatch is telling Americans to prepare for the worst, the end of America. In their Article, "How to invest for a global-debt-bomb explosion," Not only do they talk about the coming total economic collapse but they admit that there is a cabal of elite who are orchestrating it. Author of the article, Paul Farrel extends the view, as if it is widely accepted, that there is a "Happy Conspiracy" of global elitists that is operating behind the scenes to create a coming major economic disaster. The article goes on to say prepare by stockpiling necessities because a 2nd American Revolution is imminent.

Kraft Foods Inc. said its fourth-quarter profit more than tripled on strength in developing markets and continued benefits from its restructuring plan to focus more on its money-making products....
And?
Kraft’s profit surged to $710 million for the period ended Dec. 31....
That's in one quarter, readers.
Sales rose 3 percent to $11 billion, but missed Wall Street’s $11.07 billion estimate. The rise was primarily due to currency exchange effects, the company said. A weaker dollar helped boost revenue by 3.2 percent.
So they DIDN'T REALLY SELL ANY MORE or LESS, they just PLAYED with MONEY and made it LOOK LIKE MORE!
NO WONDER you can NOT STAY AFLOAT, America, and why your DOLLAR SEEMS WORTH LESS EVERY DAY -- because IT IS WORTH LESS EVERY DAY!!
The company continued to see falling sales in the United States.
Yeah, every economy in the world is growing except yours, America, didn't you know that?
Shoppers are increasingly buying food from grocery stores rather than in restaurants during the recession, but they’re trading down to less expensive, store-label brands.
I never go out to eat anymore and I have always bought the store brands over name brands.
That forces Kraft and others to compete by promoting brands and cutting prices. Lower pricing drove revenue down 1.2 percentage points in the quarter (AP)."
But SALES were UP?
Do YOU SMELL SOMETHING, readers?
I do!
More stink!
Stocks rallied the most since November as manufacturing grew at the fastest pace in four months in the New York region and profit at Barclays, Merck, and other companies topped estimates. A nine- quarter earnings slump is projected by analysts to have ended in the fourth quarter....

The Hoi Polloi vs. Goldman Sachs
Greece is turning into a battle royal between the global financial elites and the average worker in the industrial West. This started out as a more limited struggle, pitting the finance ministers and central banks of the European Union against the Greek unions, but the fight has unexpectedly broadened with news of the surreptitious involvement of Goldman Sachs in helping Greece avoid borrowing constraints. Another way to look at this is to ask yourself who knows how much has really been borrowed by various governments around the world?
You mean no one even knows?
Some know when it is TIME to GET OUT, though!

BP remains committed to climate-change legislation, said Ronnie Chappell, a spokesman. The company believes it can be more effective in the debate as a single entity, he said....
Senators John Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat, Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, are working on a compromise....

Update: Greek Ex-Minister: Other Euro Countries Did Swaps Too
Greece's 2001 deal to swap some of its debt using currency derivatives was in line with what other euro-zone countries were doing, Yiannos Papantoniou, the country's finance and economy minister when the deal was made, told CNBC.com Wednesday.
The transaction, intermediated by Goldman Sachs, involved exchanging about 2.8 billion euros ($3.8 billion) worth of bonds denominated in yen and US dollars — that would have generated substantial outflows in 2002 — into euros, maturing in 2019, Papantoniou explained.
"We took a loan that was to be repaid in 2019," he said in a telephone interview. "It was public. I know that what we've done then was consistent with what was done by many euro zone countries."
"So, Goldman Sachs was helping ALL the EU conceal the true scale of their debts from their own people? This IS going to turn into a global revolution." -- Wake the Flock Up
