Media outlets worldwide seem to be accepting the “official” story without question
httpvh
In case you are not up to speed it is alleged that Papandreou, the Greek prime minister who has been working so closely with the Troika (EU, ECB, IMF) for the past 3 years and who has been so malleable to the requests of the Troika has apparently decided, on his own, to hold a referendum regarding the latest austerity package.
Let me just repeat, it is alleged that Papandreou, the Troika main ally in Greece has decided to hold a referendum without informing anyone in advance including his own finance minister.
I allege that Papandreou has informed all those parties that “need” to know in advance and that the “official” story that no person was informed is false.
When I say people who “need” to know I refer to the following people at a minimum
Sarkozy, the international banking cartel’s go to man in France
Representatives from the troika
Venizelos the Greek finance minister
Relevant members of the private international banking cartel including but not limited to the CEOs of the main Greek banks as well as the head of the Greek central bank.
I believe these people at a bare minimum were informed in advance regardless of whether they deny any prior knowledge.
To try to comprehend what the mainstream media is trying to get the world and specifically the Greeks believe take into consideration the following
Papandreou has for the last 2 years at a minimum been alleging that he has had no choice but to implement the kamikaze austerity measures and yet out of nowhere he has decided to take control of the situation without telling any of the people he has been working with over the past 3 years.
Papandreou has just passed a plan which says his government will cut 100,000 jobs over the next 2 years. The vote was passed at the end of October 2011 and was broadcast around the world while day long protests and riots were also being broadcast worldwide from Syntagma square. And yet, despite having just passed this bill, Papandreou has allegedly in complete isolation decided to undo all of that work and call for a referendum
Papandreou has just passed a bill which will cap public pensions in the face of massive protests, see above link. But Papandreou has allegedly decided in isolation to call a referendum which could undo this vote
Papandreou has overseen massive tax increase over the past 3 years which has included new property, business, fuel and VAT taxes but he has allegedly decided to put his “plan” in jeopardy by deciding on his own, without consulting anyone, that Greece should hold a referendum.
Papandreou has just secured 8 billion Euro bail out from the troika but has now allegedly decided, without consulting anybody in his own government or from the troika, to hold a referendum that potentially puts the bail out in jeopardy.
Merkel and Germany, who we are led to believe will play the crucial role in the Greek bail out have as yet to make any official comment regarding Papandreou’s alleged “surprise” decision which Papandreou is alleged to have made without consulting Merkel, Sarkozy, Rumpey or any other person with whom he has been dealing with for the past 3 years.
It is for these reasons that I find the story that Papandreou has decided to call a referendum completely by surprise and in completer isolation and without consulting any of the parties with whom he has been working with over the past 3 years, very, very hard to swallow
The Greek referendum about the financial bailout is going to be rejected by aprox. 60% of the voters and Greece could be out of the EU.
let us see what the question is first. The could be one big set up of the Greek people and the referendum was the check mate move by the banking cartel. I have heard that Greeks will object to whatever question Papandreou puts forward.
If so the Greeks will be playing into the hands of the banks, this was their long term plan.
I am betting the question will be a complete insult to the intelligence of the Greeks, something along the lines of do you want to keep the debt or you do want to get rid of the debt.
