European Election Results

If ever there was a need for an EER check well, now is the time. All over Europe the extreme right is the big winner. In France Lepen and her band of merry fascists was the all out winner taking a quarter of the popular vote. In fact anywhere you hear the term Euroskeptic you can replace it with fascist. So why the rise in fascism, I mean what's up with that? Here in my home country of Greece the Communists won the election taking a quarter of the vote. They do not call themselves the communists but rather the left coalition. In the same way the wobblies or the NDP in Canada all became watered down versions of their former selves. We do have an official Communist party in Greece that struggles to remain at the five percent level. Gets a little confusing here. Tsipras is the leader of the left party and is also the European hard left coalition candidate. I can boil down the present European outlook to this: extreme rightist parties wanting to strengthen national boundaries or even dissolve the union alltogether, center right parties wanting to continue austerity measures and deindustrialization of the south, center left parties still searching for a spine or any kind of hard tissue at all, hard left parties proposing a Marshall plan for the south. Europe lacks many things these days. There is no clear foreign policy and so far policy has been banged out by Germany alone. There is no bill of rights and many times smaller nations constitutions are suspended in favor of European central bank policy. There is no constitution or central control of any kind or policy or anything. Brussels is without a road map and simply does the bidding of the most powerful member. There can be no happy end in a story whose central character lacks vision and has no moral backbone. Where everything is up for sale and the powerful get to pimp the weak without any restraint. In our little country with our suspended constitution they have achieved some amazing results. One million people are without medical insurance, two million people are without work, hospitals, schools, all public buildings are being closed and put up for sale. Nationalists gain in the polls as our country is slowly being annexed by Germany and this faceless European federalist monster. The extreme left too is on the rise with a solution for the hundreds of thousands of families facing homelessness and starvation. Merkel and her band of merry subhumans have brought us here. Where do we go from here nobobdy knows but it will be a tough journey with many pitfalls in the way... possibly the oddest of oddities is the election of Foondoolis father to the European parliament see: http://ellinomangia.blogspot.gr/2013/12/high-rollers-foondoolis-capellonis.html

itchin...

     I've been itching to write a blog about the situation in Crimea and the dissapearance of the Malaysian jumbo jet. I believe the two events are absolutely related. Certainly many of you will be expecting to hear a conspiracy theory that spans the globe. Certainly a jumbo jet dissapearing off of radar and suddenly becoming untraceable is something impossible to achieve. Also the sudden appearance of debris in four day old satellite images is also suspect. As is the endless coincidences that seem to make it impossible to find any physical evidence for more than two weeks now. An American base on a tiny island in the Indian ocean has been discussed much on the news here as well as another senario buzzing on the net with high tech stolen devices. Everything points to the Americans. They have always been the favorite culprits of any conspiracy theory. I can certainly see how they would be suspect in a jet crashing. Ooops, no palpable evidence of that yet. I certainly feel for the families of the passengers. To be fed blatant lies for two endless weeks and then to top it all off they are now being offered compensation! Definetely has all the elements of an americano- centralized conspiracy.
     I checked out my stats on this blog yesterday to find 20 hits from the Ukraine on March 25th. I do not know what they were doing since when I checked the stats article by article the numbers did not add up. I guess they visited without reading, or opening any specific page. Irregardless of that I will mention that March 25th is the day we celebrate our independence won from the Ottomans in 1821. It all started in Odessa, Ukraine, with the declaration of the circle of friends, Filiki Eteria, in 1814. The Filiki Eteria was a secret organization with the sole task of winning Greek independence. Something like a Greek IRA or ETA or PLO. Of course having eventualy achieved their goal they did not go down in history as a terrorist organization. As for the fate of the Greeks of the Ukraine and of the Crimea, well things here get very complicated. Today there are 150000 Greeks living in the Ukraine. The lands that are washed by the Black Sea are a part of ancient Greece. I was happy to see Barak Obama declaring March the 25th 2014 a day of Greek independence. However I do not understand his stance on the Crimean referendum. I certainly understand why people want to abandon the Ukraine and rejoin the Russian Federation. Better wages, more security, no Nazi freaks. I have been very timid writing my little blog here since the Nazi freaks got into the Greek Parliament. Generaly they are not nice people and only understand the law of the jungle. As a matter of fact if it was not for Obama and American pressure our Nazis would still be at large. So why the sudden support to neo-nazi supporters in the Ukraine? Maybe there is a lack of intelligence. It has been a common problem at the CIA. Maybe they aren't aware of the story behind the Kiev snipers and who bankrolled them. Maybe there is a lack of information about the recently murdered leader of the Ukrainian neo-nazis. Certainly there was a lack of American involvement before that little coup in Kiev. And what about Germany. Suddenly there is a new suspect. Merkel seems to be very guilty in her absolute silence. Any conspiracy theory about neo-nazi movements in Europe and their financing will probably point back to Germany and its totalitarian raised leader.
      So I am not alowed the usual luxury here of blaming everything on the Americans in a velvety smooth conspiracy theory. Now we have a German finger. Like an evil gerrymandering political power Germany has won its right to be part of any serious conspiracy theory. Of course the Germans have not learnt how to play chess yet and have so far managed to foul things up over and over again. Here in Greece, over there in the Ukraine, and with the loss of over a trillion in investments in the good old USA. Taking this into account along with the fact that Germany would instantly cease to be a player without Russian gas, well now I can certainly understand american pressure on Germany and Europe to condem those Ruskies. Reminds me of those good old KAL 007 days. The chessboard was much simpler then with only two players...and presidents did not visit popes.

Blind Wall

These two walls appear just about equal. However one of them is only partially legal. That glass block detail in the first wall is what one would call borderline legal. It is one of those quirky laws that we have in Greece. As a matter of fact a great deal of our building code deals with blind or adjoining walls. The wall awaits for a building to attach to it at some point in the future. Till then the adjoining wall will remain a blind wall. Nowadays with a weird kink in my neck and a numb left thumb one of the last things on my mind is to write another installment to my blog. However duty calls and this blind wall deal has been really tormenting me. So cheers to all until the next instalment.

Radioactive Pellet...Savas Xiros

     The latest in a series of illogical events. Since the decision to equate heating oil and diesel prices things in Greece have taken a turn for the worse. Of course in terms of statistics Greece looks much better as heating oil, having tripled in price, is no longer a commodity. I will simplify this, nobody heats their homes anymore, not with central heating anyways. Instead people have invented things like the maggali to heat their apartments or have installed wood stoves. In many cases homemade wood stoves made out of scrap metal or old water heaters are the means of heating. The increased tax on heating oil has decreased consumption to the point where the trade balance has shifted. The excuse, as tax revenue declines, is that this way bootlegging, the use of heating oil in taxis and other diesel vehicles, will stop. Last time I was in Athens during a cold spell one could not open the window or venture outdoors from the smell of burning particle board, novopan, old furniture, and any other form of wood that should end up as scrap. Things get even scarier than this. In the north part of Greece, as well as in Athens, many people have installed pellet stoves to heat their homes. Pellets are relatively cheap, anything is now cheaper than heating oil, but bootlegged pellets are much cheaper. Less than half price. Presto logs too. Part of our positive trade balance that looks so good on paper has to do with smuggled goods from other, former soviet block, Balkan countries. So in Bulgaria they press anything into pellets including old furniture and of course they sell pellet from the Ukraine. So what is so terrible about pellet from the Ukraine? radioactivity in the form of caesium-137 that's what. It also gets carried off on the ash burn-off so that you may end up breathing it in and becoming radioactive. Of course I no longer live in Athens. Just too damn dangerous.
     Greece has been ruled for quite sometime by that which naturaly rises to the top. I cannot describe it more succinctly than this Canadian author does in Defence Against the Psychopath:
 http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Political_Pathocracy/Defense_Against_Psychopath.html
Certainly Stefan Verstappen has put his finger on a truth that is so self evident in my country as to explain everything that has been going on recently. How else to explain the actions of someone like Liapis who is the rule and not the exception when it comes to Greek ministers. To explain the invention of a tax system that forces the most productive third of the populaton into abject poverty. To explain a legal system that protects violators of the law and rewards those that have pilfered billions. Three suicides a day for the last five to six years that can be linked directly to this so called crisis. The latest proof that our country is being run by psychopaths is the carefuly planned release of a terrorist hitman from prison.

See if you can tell which photo is of the psychopath...

     Mr. Xiros, having killed five employees of the US embassy in Athens during his carreer, was on a leave from prison and did not return. The plot thickens as it turns out he was also given freedom of movement within the prison before his leave and seems to have spent the holiday season visiting with other much younger terrorist inmates. There was no anklet or police escort during his eight day leave. He did not return. No ministers have resigned. As a matter of proof of psychopathy the ministerial cabinet decided to blame the opposition for this latest turn in events. We are now waiting for the next terrorist hit as this man, to your right, a fugitive with a million euro reward, has promised to do something big. The man on your left is of course our Prime Minister. Either one is a correct answer...

So the last ditch effort for our ruling class of psychopaths is a terrorist hit and a change in voter preference. A sympathy vote. It has worked in the past with the forest fires of 2006. Why not try it again? Otherwise all is lost as an electoral win for the opposition would translate into blind justice and justice for all putting many of these psychopaths behind bars.
