Now that the Greek debt crisis has been solved with even more debt--the bankers are now moving in for the kill--the final takedown of infrastructure, public utilities and natural resources.
Greece begins to sell off the National Post Office, Utilities, Casinos, Natural Gas Pipelines, Ports, Water Works, Airports, and Railroads...

Greece Sets Out Privatization Plans
JUNE 2, 2010
ATHENS--The Greek government Wednesday announced long delayed plans to privatize state-owned companies as part of its attempt to fix the country's public finances and chip away at the massive public debt.
In a news conference, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said the government would move to privatize 49% of the operations division of unprofitable state-owned railways company OSE.
It will also privatize state holdings in various casinos, sell a 39% stake in the Greek post office, and dispose of stakes in a variety of state-owned services including the waterworks companies of Greece's two major cities.
He said the government is also looking at other opportunities to privatize state assets, either through stake sales or through privatized management contracts, including the country's ports, airports and vast state property holdings.
Mr. Papaconstantinou said the government is also restructuring Greece's natural gas monopoly to prepare it for privatization.

NM Rothschild Moves To Privatize British Roadways
By Daily Mail Reporter 23rd May 2010
The battered public finances could be boosted by a radical plan to raise £100billion by privatising Britain's motorway network.
Business Secretary Vince Cable has signalled that he is open to the idea, which would dwarf the rail privatisations of the 1990s.
Mr Cable said he had 'no ideological opposition' to major asset sales, which could also see Channel 4 and the Met Office disposed of to raise cash.
Last year, Gordon Brown began the process of a fresh round of privatisations, announcing asset sales of £16billion, including the Tote, the Dartford Crossing and the student loan book.
Detailed proposals for the sell-off were drawn up before the election by NM Rothschild, the influential investment bank, which was the architect of several previous privatisations, and handed to all three main political parties.

This is an out of control international criminal financial cartel, which is committing economic war crimes. And they're no longer looting the 3rd world countries, they're looting the 1st world countries--as they collapse the global financial system--to bring in their long desired global governance.
I can not believe the people of the 1st world are going to just roll over and let the international bankers steal their pensions & savings, ration their health care, and loot their national resources and infrastructure.
The ruling elite are well prepared for the "IMF Riots," as we are seeing in Greece. They have decades of experience in looting nation states and then quelling a couple of weeks of reactionary riots.
To stop the globalists from "closing the deal" on global governance, it's going to take a REVOLUTION, not a riot.
I've often said that the first prerequisite to surviving, let alone winning a war - is knowing you're under attack, and in one in the first place.
With the disclosure that Goldman Sachs presciently dumped a massive block of BP stock just before the catastrophic blow out of the Horizon...
With President Obama seemingly disconnected and unconcerned with the clean up process, or the economic impact upon the businesses and people along the gulf...
And with Obama now seamlessly transitioning into using the crisis to sell the international banker's Cap & Trade, carbon tax scheme...
And with a simultaneous move by the administration to use the FCC to shut down Talk Radio and alternative media on the internet [see story here] it's now clear that America and freedom are clearly under a full frontal attack.
Given the rapid awakening of the American people, and the prospects for a literal "House" cleaning come the November elections, America is now more than ever, in grave danger of desperate people - doing desperate things.
Given what's unfolding in the Middle East, we are only one false flag/crisis event away from them playing the Ordo ab Chao card once again.
America doesn't need riots (they're prepared for the riots), it needs a political revolution.
America has awakened.
There is now enough people who know what's going on, but there's not enough doing something about it.
Knowing isn't enough, because knowledge without action is the fast track to victimhood.
I know people feel overwhelmed.
I know trying to keep up with the daily news flow is like trying to drink out of a fire hose. And it's depressing and demoralizing to be pounded with one crisis after another, and bad news on top of bad news, day after day.
You can see it on SI, you can see it in the workplace, and you can see it among your family, friends, and neighbors.
They want you to feel overwhelmed and helpless.
And they're doing everything they can to push you into a sense of helplessness and inaction.
Have no doubt about it, they want you to quit, and they want you to roll over.
But you can't, because this is for all the marbles.
And you're not going to be able to "trade your way" out of this. And a house in the woods, off the grid and self-sufficient, while not a bad idea if the worst-case scenario unfolds, it is not going to stop what's coming.
It's not going to stop what the CBO said must be done with income taxes - a doubling of present tax rates.
How many of you reading this can maintain your present lifestyle with the confiscation of another 25-38% of your income?
95% of America doesn't have that much disposable income, they would need to dramatically downsize and change their lifestyle.
45% of America, excluding their home, have net worth of less than $10,000 in liquid assets. Cap and Trade alone, will suck that dry in less than three years.
And that's just from federal income taxes going to levels that the CBO says is necessary to maintain present levels of government spending.
That doesn't include what's going to happen to your property taxes, to your state & local taxes. And it doesn't include the tripling of your utility bills, and the confiscatory effects of Cap & Trade carbon taxes, or a nationwide sales tax, or a VAT tax.
And that doesn't address 75% of public and private pension funds being hopelessly unfunded. And it doesn't address the government seizing and converting your private IRA, or 401K to a government annuity.
The vast majority here will not be able to out trade a high-frequency, front-run market, continually manipulated by insiders.
And regarding gold...
You saw what Australia just did to it's miners - imposing what is in essence, a 40% windfall profits tax.
And when Oil hit $140 in the USA, Congress was chomping at the bit to do the same to Big Oil, and probably would have, if not for the collapse in the price of oil.
If gold were to hit $2-$3-$4-$5,000 an ounce, are you so naive to think that the likes of Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi aren't going to introduce massive windfall profits taxes on the redememption of gold and precious metals?
What's the political constituency of gold bugs? Who owns gold and PMs - Ron Paul & Tea Party supporters, or Progressive-socialists?
Remember these four words:
Predatory confiscation of wealth.
What do you think Cap & Trade carbon taxes are really about?
They're only one false flag/crisis event away from implementing global governance. But to maintain it, they will need to confiscate and then control the economic power of both individual and corporations, to make sure they can never accumulate the economic power to take back political control.
We're a fat, lazy, soft society. They are not worried about America rising up and taking to the streets. And fwiw, it ain't ever going to happen. 1/2 of 1% of America may defend their homes if the jackboots ever come door to door to confiscate their guns, but they're not going to do a damn thing if income taxes are raised 4, or 5 times over the next decade until they're where the CBO said they must be, from 50-88% for the middle/upper brackets.
If you don't rise up and fight today - you're guaranteeing a 50%-88% confiscatory federal income tax rate tomorrow.
And for those who think as long as we have our guns, we'll be okay - you're sadly mistaken.
They'll come after guns state by state, and incrementally with a reimplementation of the assault rifle ban, then they'll ban all semi-auto's, then they'll move to mandatory registration and permitting... and then they'll simply begin to refuse to renew, or issue permits to own guns.
They know how to boil the frog slowly, gradually, and incrementally as they steal your freedom.
They key is to know where this is all going 2,5,10 years down the road. You're not just fighting the Health Care bill, or Cap & Trade, you're fighting the entire globalist agenda that will unfold over the coming decade. An agenda they've publicly proclaimed will be...
"A profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced, a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals, and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources."
That's UN Agenda 21.
I'll translate it for you: "An unprecedented reorientation of human and financial resources," means they're going to outsource your jobs via global wage arbitrage, make you pay for it via carbon taxes, and then confiscate your savings, and the vast majority of your income via higher taxes, while rationing your health care.
They're going to "reorient" the money from your pocket - to theirs.
Bottomline: The next 5-6 months leading up to the November elections may be among the most important in American history.
Knowledge isn't enough.
We need action.
Sadly, I'd say that 75% of those who "know," have not made a single phone call, or sent a single letter to a Congressman, or Senator. They've not attended a single Tea Party, or Town Hall meeting, and they don't "talk politics" to their co-workers, neighbors, family, or friends.
And there is no better formula for failure - than that.
Those who "know" need to redouble their efforts to wake up others, and the key to stopping the globalists final putsch to close the deal on global governance, is action -- MASSIVE ACTION.
Put the MLB season on hold, put the bass fishing on hold, and use the kids soccer games, and the family reunions to talk politics, to awaken people, and to encourage them to take action.
And if you don't, here's what you can look forward to...
Over the next decade (by design), the entire working middle class of the West will be eliminated through a coming wave of predatory and confiscatory taxation, of which global carbon taxes will be the primary component.
The global ruling elite will continue to benefit greatly from public-private insider deals and the privitization of sovereign resources, as nation states will be forced (by design), to sell off infrastructure and taxpayer owned natural resources to pay debt obligations to the international banks.
The size of government will continue to grow, and the most talented among the working class will gravitate towards a new "managerial class," which will man layer upon layer, of new predatory government bureaucracies.
The new income & carbon tax systems will prohibit any individual, or corporation not partnered with the government from accumulating enough capital to ever threaten the now permanently entrenched ruling elite.
The west will be pushed into a post-democratic, collectivist system, where the media will be completely controlled by the government, and TIA (total information awarness), Police- Surveillance State will track, monitor, and data base everything you do 24 x 7.
Your children will begin to be indoctrinated from birth. They will be taught that your greed and your selfish capitalism led to the financial collapse and the global environmental threat to Mother Eart-Gaia, of which they will be indoctrinated to accept as the new global-collectivist religion.
The post-Lisbon EU was the rebirth of the Super Soviet, and that's what Obama's agenda is, to bring in the socialist, social-control policies like Health Care, and Cap & Trade.
Ultimately they'll use another False Flag event, or trigger another economic crisis to bring in the next level of the Police Surveillance State and another round of the loss of personal freedom.
We're all about to learn that Freedom isn't free, and if you want to hang on to it, you're going to have to fight for it.
People are literally going to have to become a full-time political activists and put everything else on hold for the next 5-6 months... because that's exactly what those who want to take away everything you have, are doing.
These people are willing to fight and take action to destroy this country. Are you willing to fight and take action to defend it?

PS: One day your children, or grandchildren are going to ask you what you did during the Tea Party, patriot uprising.
Start thinking about what you want that answer to be. |
