What a week it has been leading up to the elections. I have never lived anything like it. Even in Canada in the eighties with all the debt talk there was never such an organized attempt to spread fear in the populace. We have been treated to all kinds of threats from political leaders and bankers of Europe. Today on the news there was a freakish longhaired analyst from England telling us how Europe is ready to kick us out of the eurozone. A documentary that played two days ago was full of such information. All specualtive of course. "If Greece exits the eurozone... a return to the drachma will mean a devaluation..." and so on and so on. Expert after expert warning us who to vote. Some foreign magazines have come right out and named which party we must vote for in order to stay in the eurozone. Seems we don't realy need elections anymore, not according to bankers anyways. They tell us what to do and then we do it, or starve. One of our comedians pointed out how narrow the beds were in Dachau. They have to thin us down first is the point she was making. So while the privately owned tv channels play these fear mongering newscasts and pseudocumentaries public tv is busy with another viewpoint. They have spent the last week playing documentaries and movies as well but they all have to do with Nazi attrocities and the Greek resistance to them. It is a long list of heroic actions and inhuman response from the invader.
In other news Greece just beat Russia to qualify for the next round in the Euroleague soccer championships being held in Poland and the Ukraine. 1-0 at the 45 minute mark from mr. Karagoonis. Thank you sir. Victory is sweet and I am keeping my fingers crossed for election day tomorrow. Cheers to all.
