I can't believe the way those cops were beating that man. That guy who ran up and kicked him in the head should be ashamed of himself and his lack of humanity. But I was curious what makes this IMF, because the shields said Athens police? Is there a connection I'm missing?
Either way, the world is a grim and brutal place like it has always been. It's just the location that's changed, no more massive battle fronts.

They are rioting for more money from a government that has none. It's like going to an empty fridge and expecting to find food suddenly appear on the shelves. They chose a Nanny State and all the predictions of what would happen came true. You reap what you sew and if you don't produce wealth, the money runs dry. They can riot until they are old and gray, but if they don't rebuild all the rioting and childish nonsense in the world won't change anything.

Yes, there is a connection. The IMF is the terrorist that charges country with high interest rate. Greece was ripped off by goldmansach another bank.
Down with the bankers. The banks are the enemy not greece. Get it right.

While I agree that the IMF takes advantage, countries are not required to take their loans in the first place. They make the choice to do so.
Now, that said, the IMF tells countries who are unable to pay that they must follow the trade plan set out by the IMF until they repay. It seems to me that if the IMF believes their own hype that they are for the good of these developing nations then they would give the money contingent upon following those trade plans from the start. And, if after five years things aren't on track in the country, the IMF should have to take the loss and the country should be free and clear. The fact that they don't do it that way indicates that they already know their plans will not benefit the country and make them wealthy.
It's sad too. I have actually known a lot of people who have worked for the IMF/World Bank and at their level, those people actually believe that they are doing good. How such good people can be confused into putting their time and energy into this organization and not see the actual end result for what it is, well, that I will never be able to understand.
Germany’s money wasn’t backed by gold. It was essentially a receipt for labor and materials delivered to the government. Hitler said, “For every mark issued, we required the equivalent of a mark’s worth of work done, or goods produced.” The government paid workers in Certificates. Workers spent those Certificates on other goods and services, thus creating more jobs for more people. In this way the German people climbed out of the crushing debt imposed on them by the international bankers.
Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved, and Germany was back on its feet.
