Biden’s War: U.S. Army admits it’s all about making money for NATO-Greece!

“The Greek population directly benefits as each company eligible to compete on U.S. Army contract actions will provide the population of Greece a steady and reliable source of income as our posture grows or is sustained in support of Atlantic Resolve.”-Major Luis Palma, Balkans Regional Contracting Office Chief, 409th Contracting Support Brigade, U.S. Army

On 28NOV2022, as many as 1-hundred Greek vendors attended the Thessaloniki Vendor Outreach Fair, put-on by the United States Army, and the U.S. Consulate General, and the Thessaloniki Chamber of Commerce and Industry.  It was a workshop to teach local Greek businesses how to get their share of the U.S. taxpayer funded military-civilian contracting system.

The U.S. Army’s 266th Finance Support Center admitted that already $2-billion worth of contracts have been issued to Greek contractors since the Ukraine Crisis started, in 2014 (remember, the U.S./NATO instigated coup in Ukraine where U.S. politicians, both left & right, actually went to Ukraine and egged-on the coup leaders)!

Since that 2014 coup, U.S. led NATO launched Operation Atlantic Resolve, ostensibly to counter ‘Russian aggression’.  NATO-Greece became a major port of disembarkation for the U.S.-NATO forces assigned to Atlantic Resolve: “We’ve been doing this at Alexandroupoli for years now. This meeting was helpful… because they received all the guidance they need to get registered and examine the platforms the U.S. government uses. This is always good, to get local business involved with the military operation. We have the approval of the community because they gain something. It’s a win-win situation.”-Colonel Vasilios Yaglis, Hellenic (Greek) Army

But wait, there is more!  The U.S. Army revealed that troop and material shipments through Greece will only increase, and that more permanent operations are planned, meaning even more taxpayer funded business for Greek vendors: “The continued increase of U.S. and NATO presence at Alexandroupoli, has leveraged positive impacts to the community, bolstering the economy to include jobs. U.S. military operations have supported the continued growth of the city to become a critical strategic node for transport and military logistics.”-Andre Cameron, director of Transportation Corps Detachment, Eastern Mediterranean-Greece, Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command

“With Soldiers rotating there every other month, let’s put up more permanent structures and improve the quality of life. As opposed to putting a tent up for 40 days, we’re looking at pre-fabricated modular type structures.”-Colonel Matthew DiNenna, commander of Area Support Group Balkans

The U.S. Army’s 21st Theater Sustainment Command also revealed that in just the month of November 2022, more than 2-thousand-4-hundred major pieces of military gear went through the NATO-Greek ports of Alexandroupoli and Thessaloniki, and the NATO-Poland port of Gdynia.

Biden’s War: YET ANOTHER NORTH CAROLINA GUARD UNIT DEPLOYING TO AFRICA, AND ANOTHER TO THE O-I-R!

“The cost per missile is $250,000; per fire unit, $15 million; and per battery, $30 million.” And you are giving them away to Ukraine!

M1117, GUARDIAN OF SECURITY OR A FRANKENSTEIN?  U.S. taxpayers paid at least $809-thousand-5-hundred each, and now Biden is giving them away to Ukraine!

Iran rescues NATO member Greece!

“Greece will become an energy, economic and trade bridge between Iran and European Union.”-Alexis Tsipras, prime minister of Greece

After thousands of years the Iranian empire finally captures Greece!

In an historic visit to Iran, the prime minister of NATO and European Union member Greece will sign a ground breaking Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) with the government of Iran!

Alexis Tsipras wants deals that cover just about everything from oil to food to technology.  Obviously the European Union’s and the IMF’s and World Bank’s forced bailout loans and austerity measures have failed.

Iran rejects U.S. Dollar for oil payments!

Greece joins China to destroy the U.S. dollar! Germany, U.K. & Greece now part of Chinese “Strategic Partnership”!

“Your tyranny I was part of is now cracking on every side.  And your own life is in danger, your empire is on fire!”-Gripped by Fear by Front 242, 1991

“The Chinese side will continue to support Greece on sovereign debt issues and efforts to promote economic recovery.  China is ready to share its development opportunities with Greece and further enhance the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership.”-Xi Jinping, President of China

“The Greek side highly appreciates China’s achievements in its reform and opening-up, and believes that China will play an increasingly more important role in the world. Greece is firmly devoted to deepening bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership.”Antonis Samaras, Prime Minister of Greece

Greek President Karolos Papoulias and Prime Minister Antonis Samaras have agreed to join China’s Strategic Partnership.   Greece joins United Kingdom and Germany in doing so.

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Greek officials over the weekend, and is now on his way to South America to pitch China’s Strategic Partnership plan to Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Cuba.

Xi will also be attending the sixth annual meeting of the growing superpower known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013

Germany on witch hunt for U.S. spies!

“Total collapse” of U.S. GDP!

Greek Civil War & What Economic Recovery? More proof it’s the fault of the Too Big to Fails!

“In the next few days, we need an agreement on further measures in Greece and additional aid from the other euro area countries to ensure debt sustainability.”-Joerg Asmussen, European Central Bank (ECB)

This statement comes after Greece enacted more government spending cuts, and the Greek Prime Minister promised no more.

Asmussen, of the ECB, said even with the new cuts Greece will not meet the demands of creditors!  The boss of the ECB, Mario Draghi, said Greece is now at the mercy of creditors because the ECB has reached its limit, in being able to help Greece, under current European Union laws.  All this chaos in Greece because of creditors!

This is what a Greece newspaper, Ta Nea Daily, had to say: “Greece cannot take it – and in any case the government will not survive it.”

 

 

 

World War 3 & What Economic Recovery? Greece in Civil War, elected officials join rebels, parliament falling apart!

“It marks the beginning of the end of the coalition government and offers a textbook example of the terminal decay of a system of power.”-Costas Douzinas, The Guardian

08 November 2012, the situation in Greece looks like it’s deteriorated to the point of a full blown Civil War, with members of parliament being kicked out and joining the protestors.  Protests have become violent, with people directly attacking police.

Unemployment in Greece hit record levels in August; 25.4%!

Protests turned into riots a couple of days ago, as the parliament worked to pass yet another round for spending cuts and tax increases (austerity measures/fiscal cliff).  The Greek Prime Minister tried to calm things down by telling the people these would be the last austerity measures, but like Aesop’s boy who cried wolf, no one believes him!

During the parliamentary wrangling over the austerity bill, parliament employees/staff went on strike when an amendment was introduced to cut benefits for parliamentary staff members!  The strike ended when the amendment was dropped.

The new austerity includes more cuts to government employee pay, as much as 35%!  And this time even central bank employees and judges will not be spared.  25,000 more public sector jobs will be eliminated.

Here’s proof that the Greek “democratically elected” government is not democratic nor free:  Elected officials who voted against the cuts were expelled! At least seven Members of Parliament were kicked out of their own political parties!

 

 

 

 

What Economic Recovery? IMF demands Japan raise taxes. It’s all about making investors happy, call it Global Vulture Capitalism!

12 June 2012, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants the Japanese federal government to raise sales taxes by a minimum of 15%.

The IMF issued a report to Japan, saying it was critical that “reforms” were made to social programs, and taxes.

Currently Japan has a 5% national sales tax, and the Diet (parliament) is considering raising it to 10%.  The IMF wants it to be 15% or more!

The IMF report reads very much like what is being imposed on people in several European countries, like Greece and Spain.

An IMF official admitted that it had nothing to do with saving governments, or helping citizens of affected countries, it was all about “investors”: “Japan must tackle its deep rooted fiscal problems. Passage of the current tax and social security reforms is thus crucial to demonstrate commitment to fiscal reform and thus to sustain investor confidence.”-David Lipton, First Deputy Managing Director IMF

What Economic Recovery? U.S. job creation crashing! European unemployment holding at record high! Production falling in China! Japan going down! Government bonds at record lows! Dow Jones erases all gains of 2012!

1 June 2012, bad news for everyone, that is bad news for everyone playing the western (U.S./British dominated) game of capitalism (including the “communist” Chinese)!

Employment numbers did not live up to the expectations of experts in the United States. The U.S. Department of Labor reported that only 69,000 net jobs were created in May.  Employment experts in the private sector expected at least 150,000 new jobs.

To top that, the Labor Department revised the April and March employment numbers…down!  For the two months before May, the number of net jobs created was revised downward by 49,000!

In the past labor officials said that in order to have an economic recovery unAmerican Corporate America must create 200,000 net new jobs every month.  That hasn’t happened, and now it’s worse!  The latest estimates are that 362,000 net new jobs must be created every month, for three years straight!  That would bring down the unemployment rate to 6%.

Here’s some factual numbers: At least 12.7 million people in the U.S. are “officially” unemployed.  At least 100,000 million people are “unofficially” unemployed!  Both those factual numbers come from the U.S. Department of Labor!

As one of the many Low Income workers who recently went back to work, working for the Man in the U.S. (after two years of unemployment), let me just say this: No Shit Sherlock!

We Low Income workers, still with jobs, have seen the unAmerican Corporate America bullshit first hand, on a daily bases.  It’s now to the point many of us see it on an hourly bases!  Nothing has changed, people!  If anything the glorified, deified, well educated, well financed leaders of our country are only picking up speed with their snowballing moronic decision making!  Need proof?  How about JP Morgan Chase  (I now work for a contractor who lost a contract with Chase, now I think we know a major reason why Chase canceled the contract)?  Wake up people!!!  UnAmerican Corporate America is the cause of our economic decline!

Now for Europe.

The 17 member European Union held onto its record unemployment rate for the second month in a row. The latest report is for the month of April, and it stands at 11%.  When you break it down by EU member countries it gets worse: Italy  10.2%, Portugal 15.2%, Greece 21.7% (stats for February only).

But how about that Spain?  24.3% unemployment!  When you look at just youth unemployment (workers under 25 years of age) it’s 51.5%!!!  Can you say “get ready for civil war”?

The result of the collapse of the EU is causing the euro to crash & burn, and forcing the Japanese yen to increase in value.  Not only that, but today was the first day that China and Japan began trading their money (in order to avoid the U.S. dollar) and the yen gained in value over the Chinese yuan!

That will kill Japanese business.  Japan is a country whose economy depends on international trade.  Since 2011 the yen has gained in value, and has already caused major harm to Japanese companies.  Yesterday Toyota announced that it was selling $2.5 billion USD in bonds to raise cash, because they believed another credit crash was coming (funny how the U.S./British mainstream media misreported the news).

China is reporting a drop in the Purchasing Managers’ Index, down 2.9 points from April.  The drop is caused by a combination of decreased sales internationally, and domestically.  It means China’s economy is slowing down, and if China is the manufacturing center of the western capitalist world, then it makes for a good canary in the western capitalist economic coal mine.

Oh, let’s not forget those stable government bonds.  On 1 June 2012, U.S. ten year bonds hit a record low of 1.5% interest!   German government bonds hit a record low of 1.1%!

The result of all this doom & gloom, based on factual data, is that all the stock markets in Asia went down.  In the United States the Dow Jones Industrial Average (aka Wall Street) lost all its gains for January to May 2012, falling more than 200 points in one hour and 30 minutes!

What Economic Recovery? European economies crashing and burning! Greece -6.2% GDP! IMF wants Mo Money! China in trouble!

May 15, 2012, the Group of 20 industrialized countries (not for long maybe?) will be meeting in Mexico, in June.  Already Mexico and Japan are calling for G-20 members (mainly those of the BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to give the U.S. based International Monetary Fund another $430 billion USD!!!

This is because the European economies are crashing and burning. Italy reported a minus 0.8% GDP for the January to March quarter. That’s three quarters in a row of declines! Spain reported a minus 0.3% GDP, for the second quarter in a row. But Greece reported a huge minus 6.2% GDP!!!

The only “good” news came out of Germany, which reported a stagnant 0.5% GDP. And Germany is supposed to be the economic powerhouse of Europe!  Of course main stream western media reporting it as a “bounce back” in the economy, idiots!

Overall, the entire 17 member European Union reported a stagnant 0% GDP for January to March 2012!

To make matters worse, China is reporting that European investment into China has declined for six months in a row!  Chinese officials admitted that their country’s explosive economic growth can only be driven by foreign investment (like unAmerican Corporate America shipping U.S. jobs to China).

From January to April 2012, European investment into China dropped 28%.
