Today the people of Greece participated in a referendum on whether the Greek government should accept the odious, austerity-based terms of another bailout by the European Commission (EC), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB).
This was not, as some would suggest, a vote on whether the Greek people are entitled to renege on their obligation to repay their debts. The vast majority of Greeks never benefited in any measure from the succession of loans, which have just gone straight to corrupt bankers and politicians. They were voting on whether the people of Greece should lose national assets to predatory capitalism while enduring cuts to salaries, pensions and essential services, just so that the crooked bankers in Greece could strike deals with the crooked bankers in rest of Europe.
By a comfortable margin of 61% to 39%, the people voted "No", signalling their valiant resistance to the modern-day Nazis, who are attempting to accomplish by financial means what their forefathers could not accomplish militarily in 1941.
Hopefully, this is just the first step and will be followed by:
- Greece's rejection of the the Euro
- The collapse of the European Union
- The collapse of NATO as an effective alliance
- Russia's assertion of her rightful position as the undisputed leader of the Eurasian landmass
