Greece Threatens To Seize German Property, Berlin Refuses To Pay WWII Reparations
RT: Germany says it won’t pay Greece World War 2 reparations after Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said Berlin is using legal tricks to avoid paying compensation. Germany says it’s honored its obligations, while Greece says it may start seizing German property.
Germany once again dismissed Greek demands to pay reparations for the 1941-44 Nazi occupation of Greece.
"It is our firm belief that questions of reparations and compensation have been legally and politically resolved," said Steffen Seibert, the spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Equality? What Exactly Do You Mean By That?
By In
the course of dispute, many a feminist will inform you that you “don’t
know what feminism really is”, and instruct you to “look in the
dictionary”. They will pronounce this with an air of immutable finality,
as if they had settled the question for all time. In deference to their
wisdom, I share the following dictionary entry:
This definition is the source of the oft-heard claim that “feminism is about equality”, meaning that it seeks to establish
equality of the sexes in the form suggested. We call this “dictionary
feminism”, and if you enquire to know what feminism really is, it
establishes a core minimum that nearly any feminist would publicly agree
upon.
The problem with dictionary feminism is that it does not exist outside the dictionary.
Feminism -n: 1 : the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes.

The Gender Pay Gap Is Baloney. Most Women Would Rather Not Run Megabank PLC
I have written about this gender pay gap garbage before but it needs
to be said again. I believe that the ‘gender pay gap’ is mostly down to
female preferences for different work, and not either de jure or de facto discrimination against women on a systematic or industrial scale.
One of my opponents, a writer, informed us all that it was terrible that of FTSE 100 board members only three per cent were women (or something along those lines). The feminists would have us believe first that this is terrible for all of human and woman kind and second that this is down to discrimination.
I am left wondering what is the net good for society of having more women on boards? Are we to believe, for example, that they will be more honest, and therefore accounting scandals at Tesco may not happen? Perhaps, but I am not convinced.
Even if there is a benefit to society, one must also consider the cost. Will it mean more children are not raised ‘in house’? Probably, and I for one believe there is greater benefit to be had if children are raised in the family instead of being farmed out.

Tsipras Slams “Crimes Of Third Reich And Hitler’s Hordes", Threatens Seizure Of German Assets
Submitted by Tyler Durden: Earlier today, despite fears that it may not find enough cash to fund its latest T-Bill rollover, Greece was able to sell €1.3 billion of three-month Treasury bills,
covering the amount it wanted to refinance a maturing issue, in what
Reuters dubbed was an "auction that tested its ability to raise funds
amid a cash crunch." The paper came at a higher cost as the T-bills were
priced to yield 2.70 percent, up 20 basis points from 2.50 percent in a
previous sale in February, the country's debt agency PDMA said.
However, this latest funding appears to have brought Greek funds to a
critical low level because roughly at the same time news broke that
Greek Justice Minister Nikos Paraskevopoulos said he is ready to
sign an older court ruling that will enable the foreclosure of German
assets in Greece in order to compensate the relatives of victims of Nazi
crimes during the Second World War.War Is A Racket, That's Why EU Needs An Army
Why They Spy - Cory Doctorow Writes About IT-Powered Feudalism
The amount a state needs to expend on guard labour is a function of how much legitimacy the state holds in its population’s reckoning. A state whose population mainly views the system as fair needs to do less coercion to attain stability. People who believe that they are well-served by the status quo will not work to upset it. States whose populations view the system as illegitimate need to spend more on guard labour.
Why spy? Because it’s cheaper than playing fair. Our networks have given the edge to the elites, and unless we seize the means of information, we are headed for a long age of IT-powered feudalism, where property is the exclusive domain of the super-rich, where your surveillance-supercharged Internet of Things treats you as a tenant-farmer of your life, subject to a licence agreement instead of a constitution.
From Cory Doctorow’s Guardian article: Technology Should Be Used to Create Social Mobility – Not to Spy on Citizens
By Michael Krieger: At this point, only the most clueless and gullible amongst us thinks that government surveillance has anything to do with stopping terrorism. Nevertheless, it remains as important as ever to explain to people the true reason behind the elimination of the 4th Amendment. Namely, protecting the oligarchy from restless plebs.
