In my opinion this is the worst that could happen. He will do good and after that he will form his own party and eventually will be voted at the National Elections early next year. And the destruction will begin...

They're screwed!

Second line just to reiterate and drive home just how screwed they will be!

Enter the little horn.

Just kidding. He would not make a very convincing beast.

The elections will happen. Just not the way we thought

reply to post by Hellas


They will, I agree, but I think they will happen much much later in time than anticipated (they announced we will have elections February 19).
I think this government is here to stay, for at least a whole year.

The Greek people are furious.

The host at the Greek Livestream has announced that they will be "revealing" a plan they "discovered" and has asked viewers to get the word out for all OWS camps and others to tune in there at 7 pm today Athens time (12 noon today NY time). Just alerting anyone who cares to watch and listen to the response by Greek citizens:

Yes we are! Although now that I think about it, "furious" might be an understatement... Thank you for the info, I had no idea. Will most definitely stay tuned. Cheers!

What's in a Name ?

PaPa and Demos

de·mos (dms)
n.
1. The common people; the populace.
2. The common people of an ancient Greek state.


PaPa would mean something like 'elder' perhaps 'Sage'

Might this translate in a Father-of the People?
might hubris rear its ugly head and thei new PM think himself a messiah, savior of his people?

might be become a dictator... the name can be skewed enough to fit a lot of paths

Of course we are!!!!

It's like putting a drug dealer in a drug rehab!

The Greek government and Italian governments has been replace by pawns from the Globalist, propping technocrats governments, the EU role is to end the sovereignty of nations and take away the choice of the citizens to dictate their own destiny.

The sooner the Greeks and Italians see behind this corporate feudal take over of their nations and take back their own destiny the better they will live.

Democracy in the EU is been killed as we speak.

How does a person studying physics and engineering end up with a doctorate in economics? lol. It seems like he was most likely bought and paid for sometime after 1972.

He got a doctorate in economics and spent two years teaching economics before he wound up being a "senior" economist at the Federal Reserve in Boston. Then all of a sudden he gets into politics. Then he's a banker again, then he's in the Trilateral Commission, then he's in charge of Greece. Lol what a paper trail.

I am. Well the only thing I hear is the people chanting "Papandreou will have the same fate as Gaddafi"

reply to post by bluemirage5


Yeap, me and the OP. Will translate the gist for you, no worries!
@ Hellas: they will start transmitting at 7 in the afternoon Greek time, that's why you hear only that.

Yeah, and Mario Monti looks likely to step in for Italy. Another Trilateral Commission member as well as a Bilderburger.
Gees guys, what happened to being discreet?

reply to post by Hellas


Wow, thats extreme. Could you please keep us updated for us non-Greek speaking members? Would like to know what the announcement is all about at 7pm Athens time.

Next......Italy.

This is not going to end well, I hope the Greek people succeed to take back their nation.

Dear he is been chose just like in Italy their government has been chosen, this is what the whole EU dictatorship of the NWO is all about, the EU was an experiment that, lure nations into fancy and luxurious dinning and spending until the nations that fell for it got indebted snare in their web.

Now that the countries in questions have indebted their nations the Globalist own the nations including the citizens, so now those in charge of the debt can own Greece and soon Italy.

But the experiment is still on going and only the citizens of the nations been taken over can stop what is going on.

I remember when the EU was formed that everybody laughed about the NWO, I see not to many citizens affected by the take over of the EU laughing much this days

Historical Deceptions: European Union
From the World Affairs Brief:

DANGERS OF THE NEW EU AND HOW IT AFFECTS EVERYONE

Very soon all aspect of life within the EU will be dictated by the few in power outside the jurisdiction of nations borders.

The world is being enticed to join in this globalization movement with the tantalizing promised benefits of freer trade, cheaper prices and fewer barriers to impede cross-border exchanges of labor and products. But all of this, in my opinion, is merely bait luring nations into the growing control system that is being written into the fine print of the WTO, NAFTA, GATT, and the EU. Since nations are still somewhat free to abstain or withdraw from these regional organizations, globalist leaders have been careful to minimize the effects of the control aspects, which are just now getting started in earnest. Now that European nations have had a chance to taste of the (perceived) benefits of regionalization, and are committing themselves more solidly to EU membership, these control aspects will begin to attain mandatory status in the EU. A fundamental shift in sovereignty is planned, moving dramatically away from nationhood and toward regional government. The most dangerous provision proposed in the new constitution is that secession from the EU will no longer be an option. In short, opting out will no longer be an option. In the long-term as these mandatory regional laws and regulations evolve; given the current declining trend in world economies, I think we will see a diminution of free trade and an increase in calls for higher benefits, taxation, and other uniformly socialist "solutions."

As governments around the euro zone are felled by a widening sovereign debt crisis, a perceived loss of sovereignty to the IMF and the European Union is raising prickly questions of democratic legitimacy.
