Karagiozis, GSK, vote of confidence...

What a fine! 3 billion dollars for misleading the public, false advertising, withholding information of side effects and so on. I wonder what the fine is for corporate murder and child abuse. Capitalism gone wild and a big party to celebrate over there at GlaxoSmithKline the multinational pharmaceutical superconglomerate. In other news the head of the German secret police resigns after admitting destroying evidence of fifteen rascist murders (beaten to death). It's in the superior genes. Seems he was willing to go out of his way to protect the German Nazi party members who amongst others beat a Greek to death. This of course is the face of the market controlled Europe. The Europe of the apocalypse prophecies that was jealous of the dancing whore. http://doomsday-prophecies.blogspot.gr/2009/02/greek-monk-prophecy-third-world-war.html
 On a brighter note a landmark court descision gives a divorced mother a second chance at life. During the years before the economic crisis she had amassed over four hundred thousand euros in debt. Since then she has seen her wages reduced again and again well below half. The court decided that the debt was too great to bear and decided she should pay back the bank only 10 percent of the original loan trimming off 90 percent of her personal debt. That is to say she will be making payments on forty thousand euros. The best part is that the first instalmet begins in 2014. Courts here in Greece are making these kinds of decisions all the time, typicaly asking people to survive on 300 euros per person per month and ordering the banks to settle for big cuts in loans they have already paid out. Collection agencies stop and a new day begins for these people. A very logical measure in a country where most people have seen their incomes drop well below half.
Our new government got a vote of confidence without SYRIZA, the Independent Greeks, the communists and Golden Dawn all in the opposition. Syriza, the official opposition, has set up a shadow government with a shadow cabinet. Makes sense as the three party government (PASOK, New Democracy and Dimar) is mostly a Karagiozis* style fiasco...
