MONEY AND OIL FLOW PROPORTIONATELY and GCC FREE TRADE ZONE (ADDENDUM/POSTSCRIPT BELOW)

While the Gulf of Mexico BP oil pipe spews forth its toxic contents voluminously, the greatest man made natural catastrophe ever, probably, BIG MONEY continues flowing, it seems to me, proportionally elsewhere, as well.
FIRST, of course, BIG MONEY from ALL sources pours into our NAZI United Suckers and Assholes election Primaries.
Afterwards, even more money will flow into our November midterm election extravaganza.
The general consensus, here, is, everyone hates ALL politicians, but, NO choice exists in a NAZI DICTATORSHIP except two competing NAZI factions, teams, parties, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, or, Tweedledumber OR NO vote.
Abstain, write in a name on the ballot, vote for a third party IF they get on the ballot.
Elections are meaningless exercises in futility under a Dictatorship.

As for Greece, I thought I would, occasionally, highlight one or two facts, such as the following one regarding IMF loans to Greece and their interest rate SPREAD, differential.
Profitable business if you can get it, for sure.
Once upon a time under an earlier global mercantile system, the operating principle was, "Buy cheap, sell dear":

"...Once the loan is approved, the U.S. must chip in its share. It lends the IMF money at 0.25% interest rate, as do all IMF members, and the IMF lends to borrowers at about 3%..."

FROM:

HERE

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2010/05/13/how-republicans-would-stop-us-from-funding-imf-loans-to-greece/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wsj%2Feconomics%2Ffeed+(WSJ.com%3A+Real+Time+Economics+Blog)

US banks represent approximately 17 or 18% of IMF loans.
They are the IMF largest contributor, presently.
In reality, the figure is much higher, since major European and US banks are intertwined in an incestuous, overlapping relationship.
Previously, for example, Deutsche Bank received funds circuitously from United Suckers and Assholes TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) taxpayer bailout, gift, giveaway and socialized debt program.
AND to complete the revolving money circle, EMERGING MARKETS, such as the GCC, are to play a greater contributing role in the IMF, along with their proposed COMMON CURRENCY and expanded free trade zone.
Abundant information exists on the internet about the above.
Additionally, I posted LOTS of information in previous entries.
So, not to be too redundant, here's but one link out of many, a "working paper" from the IMF from 2006:

HERE

http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/cat/longres.cfm?sk=18809

And, another link from 2003 about the Middle East Free Trade Zone with a few background facts and history.
ONE small, lonely, key, pertinent sentence buried in all the verbiage below.
Oh what a difference a sentence makes!:

"...Another feature of the programme, in contrast to previous ones, is the recognition of the role of the private sector..."

FROM:

HERE

http://www.medea.be/index.html?page=2&lang=en&doc=286

And, then, state assets are sold, auctioned off, or, simply grabbed outright as in Iraq AND the former USSR, at depressed, bargain basement prices and purchased by the SAME private investors in the revolving, money go round door.

So, the Middle East speculative bubble and privatization juggernaut rolls on in order for the above to reach fruition.
Thus, Kuwait's privatization:

HERE

http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidZAWYA20100516034512/Kuwaiti%20Govt%20plans%20to%20go%20ahead%20with
%20privatization%20law

Now, of course, the thorny issue of Iran and Iraq still exists, a fly in the Middle East privatizing ointment and central, explosive battleground.
As I have explained repeatedly, towards these ends, Iran's present NAZI government, and, by extension, Iraq's Sistani/Shahristani (Bagdad Oil Minister) MUST go.

Now, ALOT is happening in this regard, as everyone knows.
"They" are working hard on it.
So, I think this is but one more dimension, another pressure point, for the Iraq/Iran regime change scenario below:

HERE

http://www.zawya.com/Story.cfm/sidZAWYA20100516031734/Iran%3A%20Oil%20minister%20to%20answer%20to%20MPs%20
on%20joint%20oil%2C%20gas%20fields

At this point, as far as I know, after all hoopla about former Iraq oil auctions, only two companies supposedly are scheduled to sign contracts with Baghdad's current Iranian Oil Minister, Shahristani, one Turkish the other Chinese, which explains their varying positions vis-a-vis UN Iran sanctions.
They are being LEANED UPON, pressed on all sides.
The present NAZI Aryan Iran Persian Sistani Islamic Mullah regime is under stress, duress, opposition, internally and externally.
The ONLY way they can hang on to power in Iraq and Iran is through extreme repression, violence, torture, MONEY and international leverage.
BUT, who is it lined up to replace them??
Another Morgan Stanley First Persia Fund Middle East DEMOCRACY perhaps??!!
Finally, almost forgot.
Dana Gas is doing just fine. Profits UP!
So, these are some of the IN YOUR FACE FUNDAMENTAL FACTS IGNORED, publicly available and advertised for years.
How do I feel about it/them?
Disgusted, to put it mildly. Very mildly.
Still NO ORGANIZED opposition TO THE ABOVE here.
Lots of diversion, instead.

ADDENDUM (POSTSCRIPT):
The following developments to add:

Turkey's military has been bombing the PKK in Kurdistan again within the past week.

Iran attacks Kurdish troops, who, in turn, have been supported by Israeli military operatives, something EVERYBODY knows.
Thus, Israel through Kurdistan:

HERE

http://business.maktoob.com/20090000470058/Iran_shells_Kurdish_rebels_in_Iraq/Article.htm

AND, BIG NEWS! JUST REPORTED!
Sinochem, China's oil company still involved with Iran's Sistani/Shahristani Baghdad Oil Minister WITHDRAWS their bid!
Sinochem was part of a consortium with another Chinese Oil Company, CNOOC.
It remains to see what happens next.

While Iraq's bogus election results reaffirmed, i.e., Allawi.

US LABOR, GREECE, AKBANK, CITADEL CAPITAL

The fight to escape from under the iron grip of FASCIST led SEIU and former Andy Stern gang MAJOR DEMOCRATIC/OBOOMA SUPPORTER nominal union, continues unabated in California.
Here's the latest chapter in this ongoing challenge between a CRIMINAL FRONT organization called SEIU and attempts to organize a new labor union, NUHW:

HERE

http://www.beyondchron.org/news/index.php?itemid=7980

And, here's NUHW website for more updates, details, specifics, etc.:

HERE

http://www.nuhw.org/

Behind this seemingly solitary struggle, however, exists a much LARGER context, namely, to wrest away, threaten, control over national and international organized labor institutions and their resources and thus POTENTIALLY CHANGE their policies which currently SUPPORTS PRIVATIZATION HERE AND ABROAD, tax subsidy for private industry, investing labor's pension funds in private corporations and support of the Democratic Party, to name but a few of the most important class contradictions.
As far as I know, however, NONE of the above unions YET have come out ACTIVELY AND OPENLY AGAINST, IN OPPOSITION TO, their NATIONAL AFL-CIA AND SEIU LEADERSHIP ON ANY OF THE ABOVE POLICIES, INCLUDING LABOR'S ABDICATION OF SINGLE PAYER HEALTH INSURANCE.
Nor US labor's NON-EXISTENT support, recognition, acknowledgment for Greek opposition.
And, FOR United Suckers and Assholes EYES ONLY, since others elsewhere know it already, here is a recent video report from the latest Greek CP LED labor demonstrations and their UNITED FRONT:

HERE

http://uk.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=87049751&feedType=VideoRSS&feedName=TopNews&videoChannel=1&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FUKVideoTopNews+(Video+%2F+UK+%2F+Top+News)

Returning back from Greece to here.
I am fully aware of the intensity and efforts involved in a labor battle such as that between NUHW/SEIU.
It is enormous, an all consuming one in terms of time, energy, attention, focus and resources.
But, STILL, it is NOT an excuse for NOT taking a PRINCIPLED CLASS POSITION in the above issues in OPPOSITION TO THEIR NATIONAL LEADERSHIP, AFL-CIA AND SEIU.
Because ALL issues above supersede, determine, impact, what happens on a local, individual level and a single employee, employer, industry, job site.
NUHW can win the battle and lose the war, which is precisely what is happening and will most everywhere.

In relation to the above, as a followup to articles I have been reporting for some time on my posts, the latest episode in the happy and profitable partnership between Citigroup and Turkey's Akbank, which, of course, was aided, helped and facilitated by United Suckers and Assholes through their taxpayer largess to our NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Obooma Dictatorship:

WWIII, TORN ASUNDER BY IMPERIALIST WARS

Against the backdrop of a different uncontrolled, uncontained man made natural disaster, crude oil rushing into the Gulf of Mexico, all elements are set into place for another uncontrolled, unconfined SPIRALING, ESCALATING event of epic proportions.
Explosive warfare throughout the Middle East, making everything preceding it prelude.
I see the Gulf of Mexico crude oil spill as a symbol, augur for events in ANOTHER Gulf.
US troops are NOT leaving Iraq anytime soon.
SHORTLY, our NAZI US Congress will vote to spend upwards of $33 Billion or so more taxpayer dollars on Iraq and Afghanistan, NAZI Iran's eastern and Western flank.
Both wars and occupations combined will now total about One TRILLION Dollars.
Simply too many PRIVATE, competing, entrenched global economic investments, prospective empires and interests converge, combine and realign themselves in the Middle East "emerging markets" with or against one another.
China also DEEPLY enmeshed in Iraq/Iran.
As is most everyone else, up to their eyeballs, along with their respective military forces, militias and armed surrogates.
Who forms Iraq/Iran's next government will determine whose/which economic interests prevail.
They cannot all prevail.
The stakes could not be more enormous.
NO resolution in sight in this global imperialist tug of war.
Despite all talk of diplomacy, NO way out of a manufactured cul-de-sac but a military one.
The logic is inevitable, thanks to the collaboration and myopia of ALL parties concerned.
The European map and alliances also are on a slippery slope, once again, following Greece's uprising last week.
Lots of people pronouncing the Euro and Euroland dead.
The IMPLICATIONS of THAT development and ripple effects are profound and the stock market responded accordingly.
Meanwhile, below, an obscene, nauseating, miniature example of the reason WHY ALL are in Iraq/Iran, the Middle East and everywhere else on the planet:

HERE

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100513/ap_on_bi_ge/us_iraq_realtors

NOBODY SAYS A WORD ABOUT THE UNDERLYING MADNESS, MURDER, MAYHEM, BARBARITY, INSANITY, CRUELTY and ITS DRIVING CAUSATION!
WHY?
BECAUSE ALL are complicit and compromised in their own GREEDY dreams and aspirations of expanded EMPIRE and WEALTH at all and any cost.
THAT is why the geographical body of what was ONCE IRAQ's Baath Arab Socialist Party State IS TORN ASUNDER, DECONSTRUCTED, FOUGHT OVER SO TENACIOUSLY, PIECEMEAL, BIT BY BIT, INCH BY INCH, BY HORDES OF INVADING, BARBARIC NAZI VULCHERS AND LOCUSTS from East and West.
The cost for ALL this silence and collaboration is astronomical and will be everyone's undoing, like the Gulf.

"ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, " MORE GREEK STRIKES and BP

"Note: the Russian headline on the 1936 poster reads: “The reality of our program are the living people, it is us.” (Stalin)"

All credit, except for the original banner, of course, and THANKS go to:

HERE

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=3154

Of course, in order to make "the program" reality, first, they COLLECTIVELY seized, OWNED, transformed and CONTROLLED their industrial resources and industry. That FACT is implicit, given, above, UNLIKE here and now.

So, in the NAZI Homeland of United Suckers and Assholes our BP Keystone Cops...

HERE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SMf1M0ksGE&feature=related

...continue TRYING various ingenuous methods to plug their gaping, exposed hole pouring millions of gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico/Atlantic, since the Gulf extends to the open Atlantic and the Gulf Stream currents can and will, easily, soon, carry out the crude to areas further beyond the Gulf.

For some reason I do not fathom, people cannot easily comprehend without visual aid the simplicity of a SPIGOT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA gushing oil, like an open faucet. So, videos in abundance now showing BP's OPEN PIPE spewing out voluminous liquid crude at the bottom of the Gulf. Pure and simple. Not a difficult image to conjure up.**See footnote at bottom of post.

A more difficult image to conjure up, major protests. See or hear any HERE?? No more than our quiescent labor unions in relation to Greek labor, IMF bailouts, Single Payer Health Care, Iraq privatization and US/Iran occupation and trillions of taxpayer dollars to subsidize private corporations and socialized national debt.

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Not quite, though. We have an exercise in futility called general elections in November. And, a few NAZI Democratic and Republican Party primaries BEFORE that point, within the next few months. So, noises are made towards those ends. They must LOOK LIKE they are doing something. Our petulant, contemptuous White House current resident and Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan CIA slave boy, Unser Fuhrer, Obooma, might be upset things are not going quite his way, as guaranteed. He might experience temper tantrums and start wailing out loud in front of cameras.

As promised, the Democratic Party is D.O.A. Dead On Arrival. Couldn't happen to a nicer crowd.

Not that anything better exists. Choose between NAZI teams, R and D. Flip a coin. Same game, different players.

As for GREECE; MORE CURRENT LABOR UNREST AND ANOTHER GENERAL STRIKE MAY 20:

"IRAQ PLUNGING INTO ABYSS" and 50 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS FOR IMF/GREECE

That's the headline above/below which saves me the trouble of writing further commentary about Iraq, myself.
Iraq is not the world's only abyss at the moment.
But, one might say Iraq's abyss is the canary in the coal mine of global abysses, or, similar sound and meaning, abscesses, and a DEEP, nightmarish symbol for all others.
Of course, EVERYONE reading my posts for some time knows to WHOM and WHICH interests are alluded below:

HERE

http://www.azzaman.com/english/index.asp?fname=news\2010-05-11\kurd.htm

Meanwhile, in the NAZI Insecure Homeland of United Suckers and Assholes, our BP Keystone Cops continue TRYING to plug their gushing oil leak one mile deep beneath the water's surface of the Gulf of Mexico UNSUCCESSFULLY!
Think on that for awhile.
I suggest they try superglue or bubblegum.
Will BP stop the oil leak BEFORE hurricane season arrives, or, before Pauline, tied to the RR tracks, is rescued or run over by an oncoming train in one of the many episodes of the 1914 classic, "The Perils of Pauline??"
It's a real cliff hanger:

HERE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JFfJGOLvxI&NR=1

And, in another cliff hanger, the latest segment of our financial global shell game, casino capitalism and meltdown, approximately 50 Billion MORE United Suckers and Assholes taxpayer dollars promised as "our" share of an IMF bailout for PRIVATE European interests to finance further degradation of the Greek working class and their public institutions!

STILL NOT ONE IOTA OF SUPPORT, RECOGNITION BY OUR FASCIST LED US LABOR UNIONS FOR GREEK OPPOSITION, RESISTANCE NOR, OF COURSE, OPPOSITION TO MORE US TAXPAYERS DOLLARS DOWN OUR NAZI CITIGROUP/EXXON/MORGAN DICTATORSHIP RAT HOLE.

But, another Greek general strike looms on the horizon.
NOTHING, of course, here, in the good ole, US of A.
Deafening silence, capitulation, collaboration, appeasement.

"NAZI TROOPS TO MARCH IN RED SQUARE," GREECE SCORES A HOME RUN and DANA GAS

NO. Not exactly.

The NY Times publication of the absurd and ridiculous HEADLINE reads as follows, "American Troops to March in Red Square," in reference to Russia's WWII Victory celebration this coming Sunday.

Might as well be NAZI troops. Actually, someone else to whom I read the above headline suggested the idea. So, I will link to the NY Times a SECOND time so far this year. I am rapidly approaching my upper limit of NY Times articles for the entire year:

HERE

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/07/world/europe/07redsquare.html

Apropos of the above sickening obscenity, I EXCERPTED the following from a John Helmer article. LINK follows excerpt below.

You SHOULD read the ENTIRE piece, of course, since it relates to wholesale sellout, sell off, PRIVATIZATION, of the former USSR and, of course, elsewhere, too, WHAT United Suckers and Assholes ALL support through our collective taxpayer dollars, STATE DEBT, INSOLVENCY, WAR AND BANKRUPTCY:

"...Until 1991, the Soviet shipbuilding industry was a world leader, turning out roughly one warship in three produced globally, and one civil vessel in ten. After the dissolution of the USSR, the Ukraine inherited 11 main shipyards; they had accounted for about 30% of the Soviet production. In addition, there were 7 marine engineering enterprises, 11 companies involved in marine component construction, several smaller plants and docks servicing the fishing sector.

But the Soviet collapse put Ukraine’s shipbuilding into a tailspin of rising costs, dwindling revenues, and almost no Ukrainian naval demand..."

HERE

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=3123

And, then, I thought I would add one more enjoyable visual to the above from Helmer's website:

HERE

http://johnhelmer.net/?p=3116

And, for alittle more news on a former USSR State and one of our CIA covert labor recipients and clients, Solidarity, the latest in Poland's exhaustive State sell out and sell off:

HERE

http://libcom.org/news/workers-bus-company-strike-against-privatization-07052010

Of course, this is why ALL are in the MIDDLE EAST and Afghanistan, about which I chronicle so exhaustively, and why US and international troops sit thousands of miles away in Mesopotamian sands.

Back in NAZI Occupied United Suckers and Assholes Obooma Dictatorship Homeland our media focuses 24/7 on a Phantom of the Opera terror threat and our Keystone Cops engineers, technicians, and whiz kids attempt to control BP's DEEP oil leak, one mile beneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, an open spigot gushing, perhaps, in perpetuity, into our vast oceans.

This really IS a MAN MADE natural disaster, catastrophe of POTENTIAL Biblical proportions.

Perhaps, some of you reading this blog for a while recall my numerous posts about DEEP OIL/GAS versus the BOGUS PEAK OIL theory advanced by energy companies thru auspices of various front groups and individuals.

Approximately 4,000 international and domestic oil and gas company platforms now sit in the Gulf of Mexico, all leased to PRIVATE multinational and/or domestic corporations on supposedly Federal offshore waters, all accidents waiting to happen. Approximately 400 of the 4000 wells are in DEEP(ER) waters. Approximately 1/3 or so of the fuel from the Gulf actually goes for US consumption. I do not know to whence goes the remainder. These companies are there because it is profitable. Pure and simple. Take away profit and they no longer would be there. The issue of offshore drilling evaporates along with their oil, gas and profit.

Finally, Greek's MILITANT, Communist led Opposition, Resistance, labor unions and WWII Partisans, UNITED FRONT, hit a home run on Thursday of this past week with a baseball that flew clear out of the ball park.
This is not the first inning in the game, however.
And, not the last one.
So, it is necessary to preserve, build, defend and expand.
Definitely, FEAR is eminent in NAZI ranks.
The stock market has responded accordingly lower and with trepidation.
So, as usual, international FASCISM AND NAZISM meets over the weekend in Europe to regroup and confront their new, unexpected source of challenge.
And, some more Greek photos from another source:

***ALERT***HISTORY HAPPENING--REVOLUTION IN GREECE--MAJOR UPSET!!

A time differential exists between Greece and here.
It is 7 hours EARLIER HERE than in Greece.
CNBC, our Business TV Cable station, as far as I know is our SINGLE, only major TV outlet that has a team of newscasters IN Greece AND Europe AND has been broadcasting LIVE coverage ALL day today from Athens.
THE position of CNBC is clear. It's a given.
BUT, they do not control LIVE events, as they happen, in real time.
I have NOT been able to tear myself away from what is unfolding RIGHT NOW, in front of my eyes on TV, IMMEDIATELY, in Athens.
A violent confrontation outside the Greek Parliament is happening, NOW, between RIOT POLICE and throngs of angry demonstrators, unions, etc., almost the entire Greek population, I imagine, who have been BLOCKED ALL DAY from storming Parliament which voted to PASS their notorious reform bill, etc.
Simultaneous with Greek events on TV, the US stock market is CRASHING.
It is a financial panic, and a rout!
THE ENTIRE EDIFICE IS TUMBLING DOWN!
And, this is NOT state contrived panic and a terror event.
This is REAL! Uncontrolled.
A MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH and HISTORIC MOMENT I have lived to see, thanks to the MOST PRINCIPLED, ARDENT, BRAVE, HISTORIC ANTI-FASCIST/NAZI GREEK PARTISANS, RESISTANCE and COMMUNISTS!!
EVERYONE MUST BUILD UPON IT/THEM, THIS MOMENT, ACCORDINGLY, from those in Iraq, the Middle East, anywhere and everywhere else.
AND SUPPORT THE GREEK RESISTANCE!
The system is in free fall, collapsing, under the weight of the above.
All the best laid plans of mice and men have collapsed and are now UP IN THE AIR FOR GRABS.
Turkey's OPPOSITION AND MILITARY SHOULD MOVE QUICKLY, IMMEDIATELY.
Likewise, the remnants of the BAATH ARAB SOCIALIST PARTY AND THEIR MILITARY SHOULD MOVE TO LIBERATE AND RENATIONALIZE IRAQ and
RESTORE THEIR FORMER CONSTITUTION!
And elsewhere, of course.
As for here, United Suckers and Assholes are LOST!!
Completely in the dark.
They will go down with their NAZI Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Democratic Obooma Ship of State, fiddling while Rome burns, OBLIVIOUS to the iceberg ALWAYS lurking underneath.
I suggest the citizens of the US paint a LARGE SCARLET LETTER "A" on their foreheads, from Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel, "The Scarlet Letter," only in this case, instead of symbolizing "Adultery" it means "ASSHOLE."

"ATHENS LIKE 1968" and MORE US TAX SUBSIDIES!!

Protesters gesture in front of the Greek Parliament.

Meanwhile, US financial institutions, as a significant, I believe, ROUGHLY, 17%, or thereabouts, contributor to the IMF means MORE, UNITED SUCKERS AND ASSHOLES TAXPAYER SUBSIDY, GIFT to the VERY SAME multinational financial corporations to prop up THEIR PRIVATIZED PROFIT, but, OUR socialized debt and, as well, finance THEIR capacity to gobble up PUBLIC (and some private) ASSETS at DEPRESSED, BARGAIN BASEMENT PRICES by the very SAME financial institutions we subsidize in the first place who cause depressed prices, debt, living wages in the global money-go-round, very much centered in Middle East "emerging markets" of the GCC, UAE revolving casino door.
Are you getting dizzy from going round and round in circularity?
If not, you should.
Just pick a starting point in the above, draw a circle and diagram.

THE STIKE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD: GREECE!!

The Greek working class and their unions put the fear of God into our Establishment.

STILL NOT ONE IOTA, WORD OF SUPPORT, RECOGNITION FOR GREEK LABOR AND CLASS OPPOSITION, RESISTANCE FROM OUR OWN SCUMBAG, TRASH, DESPICABLE, COLLABORATIVE AND MAFIA CONTROLLED LABOR UNIONS NOR THEIR RELATED, BOGUS, FAKE, LEFT OPPOSITION AND NAZI CITIGROUP/EXXON/MORGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTNERSHIP!

MY message to ALL those above and the utterly nauseating, revolting, obscene NAZI WWII anti-Communist human trash, historical revisionists, collaborators, scum, apologists EVERYWHERE and most certainly, decidedly, first and foremost, EUROPE:
DROP DEAD!
ALL OF YOU!!
GO TO HELL!!
Stock markets plunged yesterday and struggled today in response to ONE ORGANIZED, MILITANT, PRINCIPLED, COMMUNIST LED, UNITED class response emanating from Greece.
Even our Business Channel covers Greece better than the HUMAN FASCIST SCUM AND REFUSE ABOVE, HERE, which PASSES itself off for Class Opposition.
They are beneath contempt.
THEY REPRESENT OUR COLLECTIVE STUMBLING BLOCK, IMPRISONMENT, IMPEDIMENT, BETRAYAL and STRAIGHT JACKET!
Here's a report on some of what really happened in Greece today and an historical object lesson what happens when ONE COMMUNIST led movement of any sort, anywhere, dares to stand up, raise their heads, voices, hands, bodies in an ORGANIZED, PRINCIPLED way against FASCISM/NAZISM.
Be sure to note a letter from a bank employee in the Comment Section in the link below in which the accusations about 3 bank deaths, EXCERPT BELOW, are corroborated.
The letter is being widely circulated and reprinted elsewhere, as well:

"...In Parliament the Communist Party of Greece has accused the government for the deaths, claiming it was a result of agents provocateur fascist groups. The claims of the Communist Party are based on the fact that 50 fascists tried to enter the PAME demo bearing the flags of the union earlier in the morning. The fascists were spotted, chased and sought refuge behind riot police lines..."

http://libcom.org/news/war-zone-athens-three-people-dead-many-buildings-burning-general-strike-march-turns-battle-

This is the beginning, not the end.
So, what will EUROPE'S RESURGENT FASCISTS and NAZI IMPERIAL DEUTSCHLAND, in particular, DO NOW?
The ball is IN THEIR COURT NOW.
Our reactionary, archaic economic system is in free fall.
Anarchy, chaos with more looming on the horizon.
Another explosive crisis exists in the Middle East which nobody cares to mention and WHICH OUR FASCIST UNIONS AND FAKE, BOGUS, ANTI-COMMUNIST, ANTI-SOVIET COLLABORATIVE LEFT helped CREATE AND CONTINUE as part and parcel of their counter-revolutionary "emerging markets" project to dismantle the former USSR, Yugoslavia and now the Baath Arab SOCIALIST Party under a NAZI German CREATED Aryan Iranian Islamic Gestapo, SS and US occupied Iraq.
MORE class and regional war guaranteed.
BACK TO THE FUTURE!
As for the PASSIVE morons and idiots, here, they are entertained 24/7 with corporate sponsored, commercial, mass/crass TV media, more OBVIOUS, BLATANT, STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM which any 10 year old child can see is a staged event, an ominous, threatening environmental Gulf oil disaster, Tennessee floods, general dislocation and NO SINGLE PAYER MEDICAL INSURANCE, guaranteed employment, income, housing, food, education, pensions, energy, SECURITY, and so on.
It would be good for anyone and everyone to ponder HOW is it possible for all these human and environmental catastrophes to happen at once in a supposedly modern, civilized society with boundless resources and science?
A somewhat similar question posed when NAZIFIED Germany emerged.
WHO and WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE for such scarcities, blatant inequities, human made disasters and social insecurity??
A rhetorical question.
Answer ALL ABOVE!

SHAHRISTANI, GREEK UPDATE and GULF OF MEXICO

I can count on one hand the number of times I have linked to our commercial, corporate US NAZI PROPAGANDA mouthpiece, rag and toilet paper publication called the NY Times.
But, I thought I would do it now, because, as you can see below, SHAHRISTANI is mentioned by name and the KEY person pushing Iraq's vote recount according to our sanitized NY Times version, similarly repeated, elsewhere, without mentioning, typical of the NY Times and their related NAZI propaganda mouthpieces, that NAZI IRAN MULLAH SISTANI'S SON-IN-LAW is BAGHDAD OIL MINISTER SHAHRISTANI and THIS IS THE NUB, THE HEART OF THE MATTER, the coveted EYES ON THE PRIZE.
Naming Shahristani in their premiere propaganda organ, the NY Times, and elsewhere, leaking Iraq torture information, naming Iranian operatives in Iraq, and, of course, timing the UN sanctions and nuke debate, Clinton's globe trotting, tells me it is all part and parcel of an orchestrated, choreographed campaign and policy.
AND, obviously, it sends a message to the people named.
These are not unrelated, coincidental developments:

However, when I tried that direct link provided below, it did not work for me.
SO, I did find it, myself, eventually, and, just in case it does NOT work for you, I made a FOOTNOTE at the bottom of this entry where I COPIED the entire translation directly from their website:

And, then, the latest soap opera, tragedy and comedy of errors, our Gulf of Mexico BP offshore oil leak and ecology disaster.
One must first recognize the Gulf as an INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE CORPORATE OCCUPIED/OWNED TERRITORY/LAKE.
It is/was a disaster waiting to happen.
Not an if, but, when, where and how.
Eventually, something, somewhere, at some time.
One out of many companies, investment consortiums, partnered in the Gulf, FOR EXAMPLE, is our notorious, multinational HALLIBURTON of infamous Iraq repute and recipient of previous exorbitant US government taxpayer largess and corruption!
So, in the Gulf, multiple private energy firms, businesses, tourism, a fishing industry, real estate, INSURANCE FIRMS, etc., overlap, coincide and ALL will be involved in damage and liability litigation against one another that will probably outlast my lifetime.
At the moment, our relatively independent, for lack of a better description, petit bourgeoisie Gulf fishing fleet is GROUNDED with NO source of income and NO idea when they will be able to return to sea.
This IS TERRORISM for them.
Additional concern NOW is, that, our presently circumscribed Gulf oil slick might be carried away by the Gulf Stream and out to the Atlantic.
One can only wonder what would they do IF a hurricane developed simultaneously?
Lucky for them this is not hurricane season YET, although, another natural disaster does exist simultaneously in Tennessee, namely, flooding of Biblical proportions.
When it comes to Gulf oil spill insurance liabilities, we may all well hear about another "Too Big To Fail."
Well, there's always the United Suckers and Assholes DEEP TAX POCKETS to subsidize everyone and everything corporate and private, EXCEPT THEIR OWN CLASS INTERESTS!
Halliburton should have been prosecuted, liquidated, its ASSETS NATIONALIZED long ago.
The fact Halliburton still exists and collects profits is an abomination, an insult.
Next, of course, our entire energy resource industry and assets should be made a public, not for profit, utility.
NO need exists for multinational contracts and private firms drilling in the Gulf nor the exorbitant amounts of oil we and OTHERS consume.
(Not all Gulf extraction goes to the US.)
Not to mention environmental pollution and human disease caused by the oil refining industries located mostly in the southern Gulf states area.
And, morons NOW add insult to injury, so to speak, fanning the energy flames by ALLOWING PRIVATE development and expansion of highly hazardous, flammable and UNNECESSARY LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas)overseas export, shipping and terminals, mostly in Eurasia and the Middle East!

“We are members of the Teachers' with Limited Working Rights Coordination and the Pan-Hellenic Union of Unemployed Teachers. We decided to come hear today, in the studios of the government's TV-station, for two reasons: The first one is that for six months now the Mass Media keep silent about the government's economical measures. And the second one is that we want to break, in praxis the monologe of Education's Ministry, the monologe of Mrs. Diamantopoulou who keeps silent about the multi-law agreement that wants to be voted and destroys the public and uncomercial education. We were "welcomed" inside and outside the studio by a team of MAT (Unions of Order Recovery) ready to beat us up. We condemn both the Education Ministry and the NET-channel Authorities for the certain event: You see that there are spots of violence on us.

The government brings the "Stability Program" in reality by packing more than 30 students in each classroom and keeping out of schools some thousands of unemployed educators. The "New School" like the government wants to name it, in reality it is not new at all. It is really old and brings us back in time. It will be against the needs and the rights of the society in Greece. Against the workers, the parents, the students, the teachers. The government calls us to pay for the cost of Education. Calls you the parents, your children who study, us who teach. After the multi-law of Mrs. Diamantopoulou we get dismissed; she fires around 17.000 teachers who are paid by hour or are temporary employed! We thought that we were the minority, but as it seems we become the majority after they brought the IMF to us, which will result in increase of poverty and unemployment of thousands of workers. Everybody on the streets to block the economical measures, kick out IMF and all those who brought it here. Tomorow we demonstrate to block the economical measures that destroy the Education System. On Wednesday 5th of May everybody is striking, nobody works. We gather infront of the Archeological Museum at 11:00 to block the economical measures."

DRACULA RETURNS, GREECE and SOME US NOTES

Well, not only is Iran/Iraq's NAZI Dracula returning, see below, but, articles pop up here and there suggesting, hinting at, NO US Iraq withdrawal as planned, as if I and readers of my posts did not already know this.
Surprise, Surprise!!
And, then, we have a surrogate, former Arab Baath Party/Army, military, fighters, soldiers, waiting patiently or not so patiently in the wings.
I did NOT say Baath Arab SOCIALIST Party/Army.
It's the Baath Arab PRIVATIZATION Party/Army.
Anyway, no matter which way NAZI Aryan Iran's Maliki and Sadr turn, IF Allawi's candidates are disqualified, they will be internationally condemned and if they are not disqualified, they have lost.
Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
And, so, more TRUE Iraq torture revelations forthcoming, NOW, not before, to delegitimize and decapitate NAZI Iran's present regime AFTER they have done their damage.
But, they asked for this, as did/does everyone else who supported and supports them.
Further, NAZI created Aryan Iran's present Mullah Sistani/Ahmadimoron/Revolutionay Guard and Baghdad Oil Minister Mullah Sistani's son-in-law, Shahristani's regime becomes more and more isolated as US President Hillary Clinton globe trots, arm twists and negotiates.
SO MORE WAR forthcoming, looming on the horizon:

AND BELOW.

It is quite clear SOME people are VERY WELL INFORMED, since this is detailed information:

Meanwhile, it is fortunate we have a natural disaster, a BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill, slick, so our crass, crappy commercial mass media can focus on it 24-7 and NOT LABOR HYPOCRISY here or there OR MAY DAY ABROAD and certainly NOT Greece or Iraq.
That's for sure.
While an immediate ecological catastrophe, the consequences and ramifications of our Gulf of Mexico oil spill will be gone long BEFORE the deleterious, long reaching, lingering repercussions of the other MAN MADE CATASTROPHES, disasters and ITS VICTIMS above and below.
In terms of timing, happy OPPORTUNISTIC coincidence, an immigrant issue concocted here with typical sleight of hand, diversionary tricks and for partisan, electioneering, posturing, purposes.
But, it was precisely our Latino community who WHOLEHEARTEDLY endorsed NAZI Obooma's 2008 Presidential campaign and is now busy showing how loyal and what PATRIOTIC citizens they are in their demonstrations, waving US flags.
Furthermore, it was and still is NAZI CIA black slave boy in the White House Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan OBOOMA's nauseating, sickening Democratic campaign which cynically employed, utilized and raised RACISM ALL THE TIME, hammering anyone over the head with a cudgel as racists and bigots who dared NAME HIM/THEM FOR WHAT HE/THEY ARE, namely, A CONTINUED NAZI/FASCIST CORPORATE DICTATORSHIP.
Anyone notice any changes or government, legal prosecutions against our former US NAZI Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld troika Dictatorship?
Or, for that matter, investigation into events and people surrounding our manufactured 9/11 Reichstag Fire.
Bin Forgotten.
(Check out the www.madcowprod.com website for updates on our international Drug networks and Terrorland).
Nor a decrease of our military budget, expenditures and overseas adventures.
NOR NATIONALIZATION OF OUR MILITARY INDUSTRIES, which generate enormous profits for PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, and, I can assure, everyone, would immediately decrease if no longer a profit generating source.
And, of course, NO NATIONALIZATION of our natural ENERGY resources and industry, as well, which, once NO LONGER PROFITABLE, would put offshore drilling out of business.
And, of course, our ever INCREASING, INVISIBLE army of unemployed, underemployed, homeless, useless eaters roams the city streets in search of crumbs, a la Bertolt Brecht.
So...what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
They just love utilizing "identity" politics here to manufacture artificial divides, social issues and partisan politics.
Anything rather than focus on CLASS and their reactionary, WHOLESALE SELL OUT AND SELL OFF by BOTH PARTIES AND OUR LABOR UNIONS combined together to NAZI/FASCIST CITIGROUP/EXXON/MORGAN PRIVATE CAPITAL expansion and preservation at home and abroad.
I already see TV ads SPONSORED BY OUR HYPOCRITICAL, DUPLICITOUS, CYNICAL LABOR UNIONS for Democratic candidates, specifically, here, the Steelworkers Union in Pennsylvania endorsing Mr. "Single Bullet" (architect of the Kennedy Assassination magic single bullet theory), flip flop, former Republican, now, Democrat, (now you see him, now you don't) FASCIST Congressional Senator Arlen Specter.
For those of you who would like to view our happy NAZI Specter/US Steel conjugal marriage and their TV offspring, here they are:

And, as I have emphasized consistently, NOT ONE WORD, IOTA, OF SUPPORT, RECOGNITION, SOLIDARITY WITH GREEK LABOR AGAINST IMF, EU DEBT EXTORTION AND FURTHER PRIVATIZATION FROM OUR FASCIST LED LABOR UNIONS HERE!
Absolute, deafening SILENCE!
How can they support Greece labor resistance when they ACTIVELY support our very own PRIVATIZATION, CORPORATE SUBSIDIZATION and DEBT sell off and sell out and ALL policies concerned above??
So, message from US Organized Labor to Greece, essentially:
DROP DEAD!
One can expect NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, from our institutional, organized, mafia led class representatives and their corollary, collaborative, bogus, fake Left supporters, opposition and CIA, State, Foundation, Philanthropy funded front organizations to whom they answer and serve.
All are utterly repugnant, sickening, revolting, repulsive, nauseating dregs of the earth, criminal PARTNERS with primordial, reptilian brained NAZI/Fascist created Aryan Iranian mercenaries and thugs in historical, Gestapo, SS acquired tactics of systematic torture, murder, repression, execution AND RACIAL PROFILING to which our NAZI OBOOMA supporters object on May Day!
They are beneath contempt and deserve the ills of Pandora's box that will and does befall them.
Anyway, I thought I would add one link/report, below, concerning Greece and the manner in which, apparently, it is covered or NOT covered [see comment section below] by our crappy, crass, commercial European and NAZI US brethren news outlets.
Illustrative.
An orchestrated response or non-response and news BLACKOUT, distortion, fiction, like Iraq/Iran, the greater Middle East, Russia, etc., most everything on my posts:
