This was reported as “good news” by the Quisling government’s propaganda machine (that is private radio and TV in Greece.) He is reported to have said that in April 2014, a month before the so called Memorandum/”Reform” programme currently poisoning Greece to death comes to an end, the EU will provide more help for Greece! At a price of course, as is tacitly understood. The price being even more debilitating austerity measures.
Jesus Christ and the Lord have mercy on us!!! But that’s what comes from putting a pig farmer in charge of the Eurozone under the illusion that a pig farmer should know about handling PIIGS. Hmm… Krugman’s acronym of GIPSI is so much nicer. But anyway.
So what has this farmer told us? Succinctly that the whole plan is failing miserably, that by the end of the programme when it was predicted that the economy would have returned to health under their ministrations and Greece would “return to the markets”, the Greek economy will in fact be in a far worse state than ever before!
But out of the kindness of their hearts they are willing to keep us in a coma on a drip of life support. Not, you understand to help the Greek economy in any way. Greece is a dead cause. However, since the totem of the almighty Euro, the project of the single currency, must not be allowed to disintegrate, Greece must be kept in this moribund zombie state, for the greater glory of Germany! You see, Germany remains firmly under the illusion that this is in her own interest if in no one else’s and that it will remain so for ever more!
The trouble is that you can’t keep a corpse on life support forever. The longer it takes to explode the more violent the explosion will be. And the fall out will go way beyond the Danube if they insist on this cruel, vicious, savage, self serving and ultimately counter productive course. As it appears they intend to.
Heaven help us all!
