CRY ATHENS! PYRRHIC VICTORY OF THE OCTOBER-18 MAFIA

Athens is revolting against the October-18 Mafia! You cannot see and breathe in Athens from tear gas and flames.  Graecokleptocrats approved a five-year package of spending cuts, tax rises, and state asset sales by a comfortable margin of 155 votes to 138 in a roll-call vote, handing a Pyrrhic victory to the October-18 Mafia. Greeks are especially adept at the art of the tragedy. We can see that expertise playing out in the Cradle of Kleptocracy today. 

The October-18 Mafia is fighting for its life as the nation teeters on the edge of default and descends into violent street protests.  The leaders of Fourth Reich are embroiled in embittered disputes over how to resolve the Cradle of Kleptocracy's debt problem before it drags the PIGS and the euro into the toilet.
Premier Papandreou, the godfather of the October-18 Mafia, hoodwinks that his mafia will go straight, but nobody believes him anymore!
Papandreou declares Greeks must avoid the country's collapse at all costs. Now is not the time to step back. There is no way any prudent investor will throw a euro in the Cradle of Kleptocracy, which is infested with marilizardism, the October-18 Mafia, charge stacking, and the cancer of socialism.
Outside the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square, fierce clashes raged between stone-throwing Greeks and riot police. Violent police fired clouds of teargas from behind steel crash barriers to keep the rioters at bay. Syntagma Square is a battle zone.
The impunity of the 300 Graecokleptocrats of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square is the most freakish thing on Earth.  Even though they looted many billion euros in kickbacks and churning, not a single Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail!  They are protected by the parliamentary immunity, and nobody can touch them, no matter what.  Moreover, they have the nerve to jail dissident bloggers.  It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas!  Allons enfants de la Grece!  http://venitism.blogspot.com
Revolutionaries armed with sticks and iron bars attacked the Finance Ministry on the square, smashing windows at the entrance and on higher floors. They were driven off by police in more than two hours of cat-and-mouse clashes.
With the country on the brink of bankruptcy and social unrest mounting, the October-18 Mafia cannot stick to a tight Fourth Reich-IMF schedule to implement the harsh measures, even if it wins all this week's votes of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square. Greek rabblerousers believe their job is to get kickbacks!  These kickback collectors are masters of bribery and cronyism, serving not the people, but the pullpeddlers.  These freaks try to gag all dissident bloggers, manipulate justice, churn the pension funds of poor workers, and equate truth with treason.
The full pain of pay and benefit cuts and swinging tax increases has yet to be felt, and public anger is boiling. Many eggheads predict a Greek revolution, an inexorable change which will release the elastic energy of discontent inside Greeks. Eggheads' work is like that of geologists who compile the signs of an imminent earthquake or volcanic eruption. But the time of eruption and its form and severity cannot be predicted in an exact way.  So we know a tsunami of discontent will hit the Cradle of Kleptocracy, but we do not know when.
Many economists and investors still expect Greece to default now. Free Democratic floor leader Rainer Bruederle declares that a the bankruptcy of the Cradle of Kleptocracy is inevitable. The October-18 Mafia's spending is over last year's bloated levels, the deficit is bigger than ever, and it has utterly failed to meet the promised sell-off of government assets. Not a single public bureaucrat has been laid off so far. 
The Cradle of Kleptocracy can pay its debt by selling off shares the government owns in publicly traded companies and much of its real estate holdings.  The October-18 Mafia owns stock in casinos, hotels, resorts, railways, docks, as well as utilities providing electricity and water. But Greek unions fiercely oppose even partial privatizations. Blackouts are promised to dissuade the government from selling of even 17 percent of its stake in the Public Power Corporation.
The October-18 Mafia party now holds 154 seats in the 300-member chamber and was helped by the abstention of a small libertarian splinter group of five deputies led by former foreign minister Dora Bakoyanis. Greeks apparently believe that they have Europe and the world over a barrel, that they can make the rest of the world pay their bills by threatening to default. The Cradle of Kleptocracy's default would be painful for everyone, but for the world, the alternative would be even worse.
If politicians in PIGS and elsewhere think that their bills will be picked up by taxpayers in other countries, they won't control their spending and they won't sell off assets to pay off these debts. Countries such as the Cradle of Kleptocracy have to be convinced that they will bear a real cost if they don't fix their financial houses while they still have the assets to cover their debts.  The real problem is the incentives we are giving to other countries. We have to make sure that kicking the can down the road isn't an option.
Evangelos Venizelos, the mad bulldog of the October-18 Mafia, foams at Fourth Reich! Merkel was the first to praise the pseudobrave Greek vote on the fiscal package. Merkel says the decision was brave as well as necessary, and she finds it especially regrettable that the Greek opposition is not supporting the reform package.
The Cradle of Kleptocracy should never have been allowed to join the eurozone in the first place due to its long history of kleptocracy, financial irresponsibility, and because it lied about its financial condition, sending Trojan Horses to Brussels as budgets.  But Fourth Reich's great experiment with monetary union has been propelled more by politics than economics. Once in the eurozone, Graecokleptocrats  took advantage of the stability it brought not to reform and improve competitiveness, but to increase their kickbacks, and to amass debt at low rates of interest to fund myriad sinecures in exchange for votes.
The positive vote and progress in talks between banks and euro zone governments on a rollover of privately held Greek debt lifted the euro and global stocks. Only stupid investors would squander their money in a country addicted to kleptocracy, socialism, charge stacking, marilizardism, and xenoyankism.
Yields on bonds issued by the eurozone's weaker states fell on expectations that Athens will push the key austerity measures through parliament. European shares gained for a third straight day, led by bank stocks, as investors bet parliament would pass the plan.
A lot of work has been done behind the scenes to ensure the proposals get passed, and that optimism is getting reflected in the share prices. The passage of the austerity plan will certainly help, but there are many more hurdles. The next hurdle will be the implementation of the measures, and the government will be closely watched on that, as it has lied myriad times!
Any bailout for the Cradle of Kleptocracy is taxpayers' hard-earned money blown out with the wind, because the October-18 Mafia continues corruption, squander, marilizardism, xenoyankism, incivility, stupidity, charge stacking, and junketing.
