Europe’s driftless pursuit of debt collection
BY KYLE ANDREW BROWN
Moscow, June 19 – As the European Commission big shots in Brussells verbally tongue lashed what little remains of the dignity of the Greek nation, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was on yet another of those tours of the Soviet fortress in pursuit of alms.
There was an economic forum of sorts in Saint Petersburg which eased Alexis into his trademark photo bombs with this and that head of state.
And there he was, Vladimir Putin himself – right on cue with the plastered smirk that says “I don’t really see you.” Followed by his usual grim faced flunkys in what must have been for him yet another tedious standup before State Television.
The Soviet leader uses these photo ops to show off his worldly place in international affairs – not so great is it ever since he brought down that MH17 passenger jetliner over Ukraine airspace.
In this instance Vladimir used Alexis Tsipras as his trained puppy to rub his nose into the crap that is Greece’s unsecured billions and billions of debt now collapsing the German financial pyramid scheme that enriched the banker barons of Europe.
Dribbling social benefits to both common Greeks and those – what did the European Union President call them – the filthy rich of Athens.
It is all coming out in the wash now.
All those smiles that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the IMFs Christine Lagarde fluttered at Alexis Tsipras during the Spring it was just an exercise to gently ease Greece’s financial collapse into the flow of the financial markets.
By now everybody in the know has stashed the cash so as to actually get a big pay out betting on the Greek collapse.
It was finally – just three weeks ago – that the Germans passed into the lexicon the new coin of the European Realm – the Grexit.
Now that the Grexit is officially branded and in general circulation the Germans running the European Commission and the Parliament have unleashed their ruthless verbal assault on the conveniently absent Alexis Tsipras.
These big shots who wine and dine at summits across the European Continent on the tax payers’ euro want us to understand that of course they are referring only to the personage of Alexis Tsipras – not the real people of Greece.
Why yes – the big shots they know how much the Greeks have undergone – oh what is the word – there must be a word – umm – yes the challenges they have undergone as they transition to reform.
And the President of Europe – he let it drop in the most important German Sunday newspaper this morning that well – Greece has these filthy rich Greeks too.
In perhaps an unfortunate metaphor for the head of Europe ‘s governing body to use – the President denies that Brussels is crushing the Greek people underfoot.
German jack boots and all.
We’ve understood from the beginning of this Greek tragedy that the European Union model of gifting Greece billions and billions has been a crafty way to play monopoly with the German banks.
But we also well understand that these filthy rich Greeks are just the guys at the bottom of the German financial pyramid scheme where everybody made out real real good.
And that is why the German chancellor has done her amazing circus disappearing act this past week and sent out her French Poodle Christine Lagarde to demand her pocket money back.
And orchestrated all those nasty European Commission big shots to plunge their knives into the dignity of a member country.
All the while the European Union flag flutters driftless in the wind.
Having never had a leader to shape it into a nation.
That the European Union professes to be a common people joined together seems sorely tested as it crushes what little dignity remains of the Greek nation and it’s hapless common people.
The European Union is no better than those filthy rich Greeks as it condemns and crushes the birthplace of democracy beneath it’s jackboots.
