Greek Theater Double-Feature: A Farce and a Tragi-comedy
Charles Hugh Smith: The "narrative" of Greece is simple: no entity, be it a household or nation, can live
beyond its means indefinitely.
Imagine a ship with 100 passengers and crew drifting down a river that eventually cascades over
a 1,000 foot waterfall. It's easy to plot the ship's course and the
waterfall ahead. You might think 100% of those onboard would agree that something
drastic must be done to either reverse course or abandon ship, but before we jump to
any conclusion we must first identify what each of the 100 people perceive
as serving their self-interest.
If life onboard is good for 55 of the 100, they may well rationalize away the
waterfall dead ahead. Indeed, they might vote to maintain the current course, thus dooming the
45 others who can hear the thundering cascade ahead but who are powerless to change course
in a democracy.
This is the "tyranny of the majority" feared by some of the American Founding Fathers.
I cannot locate reliable statistics on what percentage of the Greek population is
dependent on the State for a paycheck, entitlement, retirement, disability, unemployment, etc.,
but I suspect the number exceeds the full-time private payroll of that nation.
It seems likely that the number of voters in Greece who draw a check or benefit from the
State exceeds the number of privately employed voters whose perception of self-interest
is radically at odds with continuing State borrowing to fund the Status Quo.

IMF Banksters Rape Europe for Another $456 billion for "crisis firewall" (our own good)
AFP - IMF chief Christine Lagarde (pictured below) said on Monday that member
states had promised a total of $456 billion (361 billion euros) for its
new crisis fund, $26 billion more than a target set in April.
China, which had held back on how much it would offer for months, will contribute $43 billion, according to the IMF.
"With today's announcements by an additional 12 countries, a total of
37 IMF member countries... have joined this collective effort,
demonstrating the broad commitment of the membership to ensure the IMF
has access to adequate resources to carry out its mandate in the
interests of global financial stability," Lagarde said.
"Countries large and small have rallied to our call for action, and
more may join. I salute them and their commitment to multilateralism. As
a result, total pledges have risen to $456 billion, almost doubling our
lending capacity." Source
20 rules that can save you from the Doomsday Cycle
Paul B. Farrell: SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, they predicted doomsday
three years ago. Listen: “Over the last 30 years, we have built a
financial system that threatens to topple our global economic order,”
wrote Simon Johnson and Peter Boone. “We have let an unsustainable and
crazy ‘doomsday cycle’ infiltrate our economic system.”

THE NOC LIST: The 25 Most Dangerous People in Financial Media
Joshua M. Brown: Dangerous in a good way -- these are the financial media players who are
making things very difficult for the establishment to maintain the
status quo. Because we tried it their way, allowing the banks and other
corporations to write the laws and make all of our decisions for us.
Turns out, that's not true democracy or capitalism, it's something else
entirely, and we've all had enough. These are the folks leading the
charge to take it back

Forget Greece, Watch China - Chris Duane
If you've heard Chris Duane's analysis of current events unfolding
around the world, you know that he's had some startling insights that
have proven amazingly accurate. The current acquisition of the LME
(London Metals Exchange) by a Hong Kong group is simply a sign of the
changing paradigm, Anglo-American to Asian. The elites as always can be
found close by to these goings on. They're attempting to keep their power
even as the balance of economic and military power shifts from West to
East. How far this shift will be allowed to continue, or whether it can
even be slowed or halted is the $100 trillion question. Right now the
Elites have taken a beating and everything appears to be coming up
China. But such trends can change in an instant, especially when you're
dealing with people who've been running the world for centuries. (Sorry the video is gone. Let us know if it reemerges.)

Stop Dictator Obama Contest!!
In order to focus attention on the dictatorial and imperial presidency
of Obama, Alex Jones and the Infowars team have decided to launch a
contest.
Taking cues from the successful Obama Joker contest we held in 2009, the new effort will use posters strategically placed in lawful public commons areas to convey the obvious -- the globalist puppet Barry aka Barack Obama is a tyrannical dictator who has willfully and continually violated the Constitution and betrayed the trust of the American people. Because a lickspittle corporate media has virtually ignored the significance of Obama's treason, we believe it is crucial to raise awareness with a new poster campaign.

How to Save Your Money And Your Life - Doug Casey
by Doug Casey of Casey Research
I think there are really only two good reasons for having a
significant amount of money: To maintain a high standard of living and
to ensure your personal freedom. There are other, lesser reasons, of
course, including: to prove you can do it, to compensate for failings in
other things, to impress others, to leave a legacy, to help perpetuate
your genes, or maybe because you just can't think of something better
to do with your time.
But I'll put aside those lesser motives, which I tend to view as
psychological foibles. Basically, money gives you the freedom to do
what you'd like – and when, how and with whom you prefer to do it.
Money allows you to have things and do things and can even assist you
to be something you want to be. Unfortunately, money is a chimera in
today's world and will wind up savaging billions in the years to come.
As you know, I believe we're into at least the fourth year of what I
call The Greater Depression. A lot of people believe we're in a
recovery now; I think, from a long-term point of view, that is total
nonsense. We're just in the eye of the hurricane and will soon be
moving into the other side of the storm. But it will be far more severe
than what we saw in 2008 and 2009 and will last quite a while –
perhaps for many years, depending on how stupidly the government acts.
