you must be kidding us…

Since the Lehman Brothers collapse, Europe and Euro-zone were safe enough and there was no Greek problem to be mentioned.

Until the  day the three big credit agencies started to downgrade Greece’s ratings to “junk”.

Afterwards, IMF and E.U  “vultures” were happy enough to lend us “some” money, in order Greece not to “default”.

Greeks started to cut back , pension cuts, wage cuts,  and more cuts were introduced…

The Merkozy pair is more interested into the future elections, than to save Greece (even though we, Greeks, buy fighter jets and naval ships from France and Leopard fighter tanks and submarines from Germany and many more)

Merkel, Schauble, Sarkozy, Junker, Frieden and others are draining Greeks just for fun. They just don’t give a s&#t about Greece, they even want to drive Greeks to the exit of Euro Zone…

They want more and more …

Please give us some space , let us breath, give us a brake.

We are trying our best,  everyone!

in return, we get nothing but harsh words, obnoxious attitude toward the Greek people

When I saw Schauble talking to the Portuguese Fin.Minister, he remind me of a King who is kind enough to give some petty cash to his servant. I could understand how Schauble and other European Fin.Ministers treated Ev.Venizelos, the Greek Fin.Minister.

Schauble

Frieden

Merkel

Rehn

Sorry, but being in The E.U or the Euro Zone means to be equal among equals. To ask for help and to get help. Not to be humiliated just for the shake of it .

This is too much.

I don’t think that in the last couple of years, Greece became the “black sheep” country that everyone spit on nowadays …

It is toooo much !

Downgrading Greece, My @ss !

Now, I am really pissed off!

Some White-collared, Armani and D&G suited with silver cuff-links Macho Yuppies from London’s City together with their counterparts in the States decided to make those Greeks pay for the whole World’s Debt… thus, the Moody’s Investors service Downgraded Greek Economy  to B1 from  Ba1…

the catch for this downgrading is the details on what exactly the Moody’s Rating agency stands for …and to whom that may be useful.

Meet the Fockers!

CREDIT RATINGS ARE MOODY’S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC.’S (“MIS”) CURRENT OPINIONS OF THE RELATIVE FUTURE CREDIT RISK OF ENTITIES, CREDIT COMMITMENTS, OR DEBT OR DEBT-LIKE SECURITIES. MIS DEFINES CREDIT RISK AS THE RISK THAT AN ENTITY MAY NOT MEET ITS CONTRACTUAL, FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS AS THEY COME DUE AND ANY ESTIMATED FINANCIAL LOSS IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT. CREDIT RATINGS DO NOT ADDRESS ANY OTHER RISK, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LIQUIDITY RISK, MARKET VALUE RISK, OR PRICE VOLATILITY. CREDIT RATINGS ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF CURRENT OR HISTORICAL FACT. CREDIT RATINGS DO NOT CONSTITUTE INVESTMENT OR FINANCIAL ADVICE, AND CREDIT RATINGS ARE NOT RECOMMENDATIONS TO PURCHASE, SELL, OR HOLD PARTICULAR SECURITIES. CREDIT RATINGS DO NOT COMMENT ON THE SUITABILITY OF AN INVESTMENT FOR ANY PARTICULAR INVESTOR. MIS ISSUES ITS CREDIT RATINGS WITH THE EXPECTATION AND UNDERSTANDING THAT EACH INVESTOR WILL MAKE ITS OWN STUDY AND EVALUATION OF EACH SECURITY THAT IS UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR PURCHASE, HOLDING, OR SALE.

 

So, why the heck do these ratings exist ???????

To make our lives miserable and to affect our depression negatively

 

And on the other hand, Greece has to face  Chancellor Merkel and a cowardly run E.U.

Come on!

Let us Breath, we give, and we give more and still we are Junk !

AID to Gaza…

… or rather, aid to those in need!

I will not start commenting on what Israelis did, or not ! Or even where the incident happened…

I hesitate to condemn Israel, cause I fear for the worse…I’ve been under a Palestinian flag once,

Under the Palestinean flag, during an antiwar demonstration in Leeds, back in 2003

I’ve demonstrated for a free Palestine… this might give them the right to call me a Terrorist…

the actual story of the dawn before today… and an opinion of what lies ahead

May 5th 2010, Athens, Greece… early afternoon!

Today one of the largest demonstration of the last decades took place downtown Athens…

The financial problems of Greece led the Government to ask for help, and the E.U, the E.C.B and the I.M.F. when realised  that the problem is spreading, decided to act, by financing the Greek Debt with a hefty amount of euros (110 billions for three years). In return, Greece have to pay the money back with interest, and of course to take precautions and measures against financial mishandling, and extra spending…

The Government has, since then, taken some serious steps towards financial stability and public spending cuts…

these measures led most people to the streets on a strike spree.

Then … today, during one of the largest demonstration, rioters and ”demonstrators” with covered faces, started havoc !

during the peak of these riots, a group of unknown individuals threw a Molotov cocktail and a petrol can inside a bank, downtown Athens…with employees still inside!

3 dead and 20 injured….

The S_ _ t just hit the fan…

The S_ _ t just hit the fan !!!

Even Mr Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of IMF finally talked about the speculative hits that Greece has taken because of the continuous downgrading of Greek Economy by the three financial institutions…

They ‘ve left these white collar yuppies hitting hard on Greece, and for what??? for a couple of billions in earnings won by speculations against Greek Finances.

And all Europeans, especially those in the Eurozone region, did nothing  to help the EURO … because by helping Greece fight these speculators away, they are helping the common currency…

But they did nothing…  until now!

Now Europeans are running panicked because they are afraid of a domino effect… and even the Germans now are urging Europe to act quickly…

We, as a country, were asking for support,  for a safety net against speculators since February, but nothing happened. till now.

European coalition…

World of Media … and the power of it!

The following post can be found on the official LIVESTRONG blog. The post comments on the work done at the Center of Panagia Philanthropini in Ormylia.

...proudly supports!

At the LIVESTRONG Global Cancer Summit in 2009 we initiated a global call for Commitments in the fight against cancer. Nearly 300 organizations, individuals, leaders and corporations made formal Commitments. As a way of highlighting their immense efforts in battling this disease, we will feature a different organization each week, sharing stories of progress and success from around the globe.

This week takes us to Chalkidike, Northern Greece where The Ormylia Foundation’s Panagia Philanthropini Center is making a profound difference in the lives of many underprivileged women living in remote communities in the area. Much of northern Greece is made up of hard-to-reach seaside and mountain villages where residents had no access to organized cancer screenings before the center’s creation. In response to this severe lack of access to care, the Center began providing free screenings to underprivileged women in 1991 and has since then also begun educational outreach.

In response to LIVESTRONG’s call for Global Commitments in the fight against cancer, the Ormylia Foundation formally committed to scaling up their outreach to groups that are acutely underprivileged- primarily Muslim religious groups (Pomaks, Romas and other Turkish speaking communities) from the former Soviet Union, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Ormylia’s initiative is uniquely holistic, focusing on not only keeping women healthy, but advocating for their quality of life: “By detecting early-stage breast and cervical cancer, and subsequently employing less invasive treatment, this program will prevent the deterioration of the social web of these fragile populations, keeping women healthy and productive with a high quality of life.”

With a goal of scaling up their annual screenings to reach 35,000 women in the next five years, and with a 95% survival rate for women diagnosed, Ormylia is making an incredible impact on the lives of women who need their care.

LIVESTRONG proudly supports the Ormylia Foundation’s efforts, and we look forward to sharing their continued success.

To have the Shot or not … ?

during the past year the numbers of the infected with the H1N1 human form of the swine Flu (for which they change the name into Flu A, or Novel Flu etc instead of the piggy one, for the obvious financial reasons) have being spiraling up week by week. And governments around the globe stated the world in a state of emergency…which could be relieved by mass vaccination of certain groups of people ( vulnerable groups of individuals at first and health care workers, kids  etc).

poor things

I do not like talking about conspiracies and other theories… but:

Baxter Pharmaceuticals is the only company which had “envisioned” (???) the H1N1 “pandemic” and patented the vaccine for the new Flu…on Aug. 28 back in 2008 according to this source.

And instead of dropping the patent for the vaccine and the tamiflu antiviral the governments urges us to get the shot… the shot of a vaccine which we don’t know its consequences and the full-scale of its side-effects.

is it the real cure... ?

The pharmaceutical companies should give more thought into the vaccine production and less into their finances.

unfortunately that is how things are…

everyone spins around (not the sun, but) the Dollar/Euro/Yuan etc…

Racism, is not … Whites among blacks!

Several decades back, it was very difficult for a coloured person to be among whites…

Nowadays, it is life-threatening to be an albino African and live among fellow villagers!!!

According to news reports world, since 2007, 44 albinos have been killed in Tanzania and 14 others have been slain in Burundi, sparking widespread fear among albinos in East Africa.

At least 10,000 have been displaced or gone into hiding since the killings began, according to a report released this week by the International Federation for the Red Cross and Crescent societies.

Body parts of albinos are sought in some regions of Africa because they are believed to bring wealth and good luck. Attackers chop off limbs and pluck out organs to sell to dealers, who in turn sell them to witch doctors.

Witch-craft equals to death for those poor souls… we are humans for God’s shake!!!
