\nTamara de Lempicka The refugees <\/b>1937<\/center>Note: I feel kind of sorry this has become such a long essay. But I still left out so much. You know by now I care a lot about Greece, and it\u2019s high time for another look, and another update, and another chance for people to understand what is happening to the country, and why. To understand that hardly any of it is because the Greeks had so much debt and all of that narrative.<\/p>\n

The truth is, Greece was set up to be a patsy for the failure of Europe\u2019s financial system, and is now being groomed simultaneously as a tourist attraction to benefit foreign investors who buy Greek assets for pennies on the dollar, and as an internment camp for refugees and migrants that Europe\u2019s \u2018leaders\u2019 view as a threat to their political careers more than anything else.<\/p>\n

I would almost say: here we go again, but in reality we never stopped going. It\u2019s just that Greece\u2019s 15 minutes of fame may be long gone, but its ordeal is far from over. If you read through this, you will understand why that is. The EU is deliberately, and without any economic justification, destroying one of its own member states, destroying its entire economy.<\/p>\n

<\/center>A short article in Greek paper Kathimerini last week detailed the latest new cuts in pensions the Troika has imposed on Greece, and it\u2019s now getting beyond absurd. For an economy to function, you need people spending money. That is what keeps jobs alive, jobs which pay people the money they need to spend on their basic necessities. If you don\u2019t do at least that, there\u2019ll be ever fewer jobs, and\/or ever less money to spend. It\u2019s a vicious cycle.<\/p>\n
