All over the planet, news headlines are boldly proclaiming that a \u201cdeal\u201d has been reached which will give Greece the money that it needs and keep it in the eurozone.\u00a0 But as you will see below, this is not true at all.\u00a0 Yesterday, when I wrote that \u201c<a title=\"there never was going to be any deal\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/germany-never-intended-for-greece-to-stay-in-the-euro\">there never was going to be any deal<\/a>\u201c, I was not exaggerating.\u00a0 This \u201cdeal\u201d was not drafted with the intention of \u201csaving Greece\u201d.\u00a0 As I explained\u00a0<a title=\"in my previous article\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/germany-never-intended-for-greece-to-stay-in-the-euro\">in my previous article<\/a>, these negotiations were all about setting up Greece for eviction from the euro.\u00a0 You see, the truth is that Greece desperately wants to stay in the euro, but Germany (and allies such as Finland) want Greece out.\u00a0 Since Germany can\u2019t simply order Greece to leave the euro, they need some sort of legal framework which will make it possible, and that is what this new \u201cdeal\u201d provides.\u00a0 As I am about to explain, there are all kinds of conditions that must be satisfied and hurdles that must be crossed before Greece ever sees a single penny.\u00a0 If there is a single hiccup along the way, and this is what the Germans are counting on, Greece will be ejected from the eurozone.\u00a0 This \u201cdeal\u201d has been designed to fail so that the Germans can get what they have wanted all along.\u00a0 I think that three very famous words from Admiral Ackbar sum up the situation very well: \u201c<a title=\"It\u2019s a trap!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=piVnArp9ZE0\" target=\"_blank\">It\u2019s a trap!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So why is this \u201cGreek debt deal\u201d really a German trap?<\/p>\n<p>The following are three big reasons\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1 The \u201cDeal\u201d Is Designed To Be Rejected By The Greek Parliament<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 Big Reasons Why The \u2018Greek Debt Deal\u2019 Is Really A German Trap Greece is saved?
