Hey Harlem dudes, get the groove on the financial toxic waste.
So, please, take the necessary attention to mobilize for
Glass-Steagall and for the other policy package which we
proposed, because if this is not being implemented in the short
term, forget this planet for a very long time to come.
Now, in the meantime, the absolute, absolutely bankruptcy of
this EU policy could not be clearer. Now, there is now a
complete explosion of mass poverty in Greece, where people are
living in bitter poverty: Thousands of people who are hungry are
going to the public food banks and soup kitchens; they are
looking in the garbage for food, and total social bankruptcy is
taking hold in this country.
The Greek Orthodox Church is giving out free lunches, and
the line of hungry people gets longer, and longer, reaching into
every layer of the population. So, they want to give food to
everybody, but they realized that after half an hour, all 1,200
portions had been given out and many people had to be turned away
with empty stomachs. Many people had come by bus, from across
town, just to get one full meal, and there are quotes from many
people who say, "There is no work, here. Greece is finished.
There is absolutely nothing we have left to do."
There is also now increasingly a pattern of Greek capital
flight, where Greeks are taking their money abroad, and there is
worry that this will lead to an implosion of the Greek banks,
which would then be another factor in the whole dynamic. There
is even consideration of imposing capital controls. And the IMF
came out and said that they may no longer participate in any
Greek packages, that they've had it. Because they do not think
this whole thing will work.
Now Hillary Clinton on her world trip, will also go through
Athens, because obviously, the worry is that once the Greek
situation detonates, it will spill over to Spain and Italy.
So that is the situation is the trans-Atlantic region, but
don't think that that is the extent of it, because now there is
concern in the Chinese bond market, because their rating agenda
have threatened the downgrading of certain bonds of Chinese
provinces, and there is discussion that this could lead to a
chain reaction, because there is increasing worry concerning the
solvency of several province and many communes. Moody's already
is meddling in the internal Chinese market, warning of all of
this.
