YOU ARE ON THE MENU OF KLEPTOCRATS!

The permanent political class enriches itself at the expense of the rest of us. Insider trading is illegal, yet it is routine among kleptocrats. Normal individuals cannot get in on IPOs at the asking price, but kleptocrats do so routinely. Kleptocrats also get many hot issues, bypassing all fair procedures of distribution. By funneling hundreds of millions of dollars or euros to supporters, even more campaign donations are ensured. An entire class of investors now makes all of its profits based on influence and access to

Kleptocrats have transformed politics to trade. They are traders who use their power, access, and privileged information to generate wealth. And at the same time well-connected financiers and corporate leaders have made a business of politics. They come together to form a kleptocratic caste.

The largest bribes originate in the military industry. Military procurement is a corrupt business from top to bottom. The process is dominated by advocacy, with few checks and balances. Most people in power love this system of doing business and do not want it changed. War and preparation for war systematically corrupt all parties to the state-private transactions by which the government obtains the bulk of its military products. There is a standard 10% bribe to kleptocrats for military purchases. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Participants in the military-industrial-kleptocrat complex (MIKC) are routinely blamed for mismanagement, fraud, abuse, bribes, and waste. All of these unsavory actions, however, are typically viewed as aberrations, malfeasances to be covered-up, while retaining the basic system of state-private cooperation in the trade of military goods and services and the flow of bribes. These offenses are in reality expressions of a thoroughgoing, intrinsic rottenness in the entire setup. 

Kleptocracy has clearly figured out how to extract wealth from the rest of us based solely on their position and proximity to power. If you have a seat at the table, you are in for a feast. If you don't have a seat at the table, you are on the menu. Throw them all out!

Political intelligence consultants are hired guns who dig for closely held information to be used to trade stocks. Many work for hedge funds and securities firms, who just happen to be some of the biggest political campaign contributors.

The revolving door is the movement of personnel between roles as legislators and regulators and the industries affected by the legislation and regulation and on within lobbying companies. An unhealthy relationship can develop between the private sector and government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges to the detriment of the nation and can lead to regulatory capture.

When a kleptocrat leaves parliament to become a pullpeddler, he must wait two years before calling on his former colleagues. But, when a kleptocrat calls himself a consultant, a strategic adviser or some other euphemism, the big bucks start rolling in immediately. Plus, there are no pullpeddling disclosures required of these consultants.

We all know what happens at Olympics, an international competition of steroids, not athletes. People feel well during the games, but feel miserable after the games when they find out Olympics cost them ten times more than projected, and most of it went to kickbacks of kleptocrats! The Athens Olympics cost was projected to two billion euros, but it finally cost Greek taxpayers 20 billion euros, with all that extra money going not to the games, but to the private pockets of Graecokleptocrats.

Partyfare is a new political disease. Partyfare allows political parties to rob the State Treasury and banks by a simple vote in the parliament! The cost of Greek politics is the highest in Fourth Reich. Recently, a thirty-million-euro injection was granted again by the Grand Brothel of Democracy on Syntagma Square to its hookers! Political parties in Greece are the highest funded in Europe as a proportion of tax revenue, ten times more than in Germany. The Greek political parties receive fifteen euros per vote in State funding, the highest in Europe. http://venitism.blogspot.com

The cost of politics in Greece is a scandal. It's very freakish for hookers to vote for themselves myriad euros all time! Political parties are supposed to serve their citizens and not pump money out of them. Pasok and Nea Democratia are responsible for all structural problems of Greece, leeches that have been sucking out billions of taxpayers' money. This is armed robbery, pure and simple.

Whereas many EU countries are currently reviewing the funding system of political parties to respond to the crisis, Graecokleptocrats are not setting a good example. In the context of the reforms Greece has to undertake to receive a new aid package, this kind of payment is a slap in the face of the Greek citizens and the European partners. It is not acceptable for the European tax payer to effectively pay for the enrichment of Graecokleptocrats. Eurozone should not continue with another Greek bailout package since Graecokleptocrats continue robbing the Greek Treasury. Partyfare undervalues the intelligence of European taxpayers.

Graecokleptocracy and the overflowing bureaucracy in Greece makes it very easy to embezzle Fourth Reich funds. Many professors and administrators at Panteion and other colleges, well connected to piggish Graecokleptocrats, were sentenced to long prison terms for embezzlement. A Greek court found they had misused many million euros in research funds.

The guilty of Panteion include a former rector, a former vice-rector, and an accountant who bought a red Ferrari using research money. Money was embezzled from research budgets and spent on rugs, marble bathrooms, and furnishings for holiday apartments.

Greece has received a hundred billion euros in Fourth Reich funds, but big parts of that went down the drain in economically useless or imaginary projects of Graecokleptocrats. You won't find a study in Greece looking at where exactly the Fourth Reich billions are flowing to. You won't get an overview of the total costs and the projects' exact status of implementation.

Olive oil cooperatives, well connected to Graecokleptocrats, report a higher production output to Brussels compared to what their actual figures are to receive more subsidies. Databases to document their demands are run by the cooperatives themselves and are easily manipulated.
