The Greek crisis is like a Chronicle of an announced death. It was bound to happen, a direct consequence of the imbalances between members of the European Union. Greece cannot possibly pay the public debt, big Greek capitalists are transferring their money out of Greece and the budget cuts required will lead to increasing political instability.

The greek crisis is a product of the cooperation between the Goldman&Sachs and the greek parliament's members!Their black and toxic economy destabilized Greece and the euro!It was an american plan to hit the eurogroup zone.

I understand the Greece people, and I do understand their violent reaction, nevertheless if they cry wolf now for this imagine when the entire Euro zone comes crashing down and every single human being within this system looses their long term pension savings in a blink of an eye. This is only years perhaps months away. I see nothing but Marshal Law being introduced on a global scale and the New World Order being introduced and with that every single human being will be so marginalized if a few disappears or dies as in thousands per day it won’t make any difference as we will develop a Chinese system of how to uphold the rule of law. I am waiting for the final fire sale to go off any day now. Investors and people with great loads of money should try to invest in gold, but this is not easy. If one follows the trail of gold today one soon notice that all the gold is more or less already gone. My thoughts goes out to the Greek people, as they are only a reflection of what will come. The big banks and the absolute monterary elite is now collecting their money in panic as they know what is up. Watch and see. ;)

Just look at the history of Greece, the only reason Greece was kept together was to serve as a weapon against the adversaries to Federal Reserve mob in a time of dire needs. That time has come and Greece is being sacrificed for George Soros’s criminal activities by which he lost all of his money and power and he and his associates are using the auxiliary power to create chaos on the planet and hopefully New World Order by their textbooks. “ORDER OUT OF CHAOS”, it reminds me of the events leading and during the WW2. My thoughts are with the Greek people because they are the innocent once.
