BACK TO GREECE...

Seems United Suckers and Assholes NAZI Rockefeller Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Dictatorship White House toy boy, puppet, Unser resident Fuhrer, Obooma, made nice noises, sounds, about an upcoming Greek Independence Day celebration, like he/they do about most every NIGHTMARE under the sun currently, such as THEIR Arab "Springtime" for Hitler.

Of course, reasons why, as in Arab OR Greek NAZI NIGHTMARE, follows BELOW.

EXCERPT FIRST:

"....Greece will put two major listed companies, betting monopoly OPAP and refiner Hellenic Petroleum, up for sale by May to boost a much-delayed privatisation plan and help cut the country's debt, its chief privatisation official told Reuters.

Selling stakes in OPAP and Hellenic Petroleum, Greece's third and fourth biggest listed firms by market value, would be an important step for the indebted nation, which has repeatedly missed targets set by its EU and IMF lenders and needs investments to exit a deep recession...'

In case you missed the POINT of THEIR entire "DIPLOMATIC" exercise, as in Mideast/Iran "DIPLOMACY," a little redundant emphasis, sponsored, promoted by PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL sources, no doubt, same ones waxing eloquent about NAZI manufactured Islamic Finance, Mideast Springtime, Democracy, totalitarian liberation, etc:

So, to end, once again, an entertaining note, commentary.
Since I appear to be on a Mel Brooks roll, binge, one BRIEF clip/link more from a favorite scene, sketch, in one of Brooks most famous of all movies which nicely summarizes, encapsulates, well my sentiments:

CITIBANK LEBANON & BOMB NAZI PARTNERED ERSATZ AND ISLAMIC OPPOSITION

First, below, I feature a new FACE for a global NAZI ROCKEFELLER CITIBANK LEBANON/Exxon/Morgan Uber Alles Obooma Dictatorship REACTIONARY, counter-revolutionary, project.

Another small news update, aside, for those perhaps NOT sufficiently, conscientiously, following NAZI propaganda developments.
NAZI lineage Deutsche Bouerse plans APPEALING former EU ruling against its consolidation, marriage, partnership, with their NAZI EURONEXT/NYSE fiancee.

NEXT QUESTION/COMMENT OF THE DAY FOR ALL CONCERNED:

United Suckers and Assholes to contribute MORE subsidies to IMF for THEIR/NAZI overseas expansion??

So, Lebanon CITIBANK new face:

Elissar Farah Antonios, Chief Executive Officer CITIBANK LEBANON

FROM:

http://www.ameinfo.com/287841.html

Next, for those who may be reading, or, know someone, with influence, PLEASE, IMMEDIATELY, STOP, CEASE, DESIST, HALT promoting, funding, MYTHICAL NAZI ISLAMIC manufactured DIVERSIONARY PROPAGANDA MOVIES, DOCUMENTARIES, FILMS, ACADEMIC DISCOURSE, REVISIONIST HISTORY HERE.

It/they being so OBVIOUSLY DISGUSTING, INTELLECTUALLY INSULTING to ALL concerned, achieving NOTHING but its opposite backlash.

And an equal message to United Suckers and Assholes NAZI PARTNERED, BOGUS, ERSATZ, NOMINAL LEFT OPPOSITION, APOLOGISTS, COLLABORATORS, LABOR DEBT CZAR PRIVATIZATION CHEERLEADERS, FRONT GROUPS, ET.AL., HERE AND ABROAD:

I advocate bombing them as well.
Forget Israel, Israel being nothing but mere chicken feed, historical footnote.

THEIR DISGUSTING, REVOLTING, SICKENING, REPULSIVE, HYPOCRITICAL NAZI/ISLAMIC COLLUSION, COLLABORATION, mythological propaganda surrounds me EVERYWHERE, suffocating, stifling, EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.

THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE, RESPONSIBLE, for THEIR ACTIONS AND INACTION, NAZI APPEASEMENT POLICIES, ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIPS, INVESTMENTS, PROPAGANDA, and so ALL TOGETHER MUST HANG, liquidated, dissolved, TOGETHER.

THEIR numbers being way more astronomical, beyond anything THEY claim former USSR, Stalin, Soviet, "Show" trials, purges, of TRAITORS, INFILTRATORS, COVERT OPERATIVES, AGENTS, COLLABORATORS.

NO RELIGIOUS GOBBLEDY GOOK DISCOURSE ABOUT FORGIVING ONES ENEMIES, TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, RECONCILIATION, necessary.

FUCK YOU!!
MAY BOMBS RAIN DOWN ON ALL of you!!

Ending on, as usual, an appropriate musical note, entertainment, editorial commentary, another selection from a film/show I feature in my previous post below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ni_RtKMpak&feature=related

NAZI DEUTSCHE BANK, ISLAM & DOMESTIC NOTES

Not to be overlooked, former global giant NAZI DEUTSCHE BANK supreme NOT surprisingly given a Mideast ISLAMIC award.
After all, NAZI DEUTSCHE BANK represented amongst THE PRIME historical financiers, ARCHITECTS, PROTOTYPES, ESTABLISHING a MYTHICAL ARYAN IRAN, i.e, former PERSIA, reactionary ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST regime, et.al., upon which an EQUALLY BOGUS GLOBAL LEFT OPPOSITION UTTERS NOT A SINGLE WORD OF EXPOSURE, DENUNCIATION, REPUDIATION, CONDEMNATION:

HERE

Custodian_by_Islamic_Finance_News

Equally NAZI SAUDI/US BACKED EGYPT MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD ENCOURAGES IMF EGYPT PARTICIPATION.
Again, NOT an utterance AGAINST ABOVE POLICIES EMANATES FROM A NAZI PARTNERED, COLLABORATIVE, OPPOSITION ANYWHERE.
As far as ongoing NAZI US/NATO/EU/RUSSIA/CHINA Syria, Iran, Iraq PROXY WARS, plans to bypass Straight of Hormuz oil deliveries readied given further regional military escalation.
All above reported widely from multiple sources.

The situation HERE not much different, except, in MIDEAST, LOTS of civilian casualties, MENASA KILLING FIELDS, a HOT war zone exists, physical, mental, emotional, economic devastation, intimidation, exhaustion, extortion, thousands, millions, refugees fleeing, pouring, across borders.
In BOTH/ALL cases, however, REAL ANTI-FASCIST OPPOSITION SANDWICHED, NEUTERED, THREATENED, INTIMIDATED, COERCED, OVERWHELMED AND OVERSHADOWED BETWEEN COMPETING, CONFLICTING ARMED NAZI FACTIONS, ALL representing PRIVATE INVESTMENT INTERESTS.
HERE, a NAZI PARTNERED, AFFILIATED, AFL-CIA, SEIU, LABOR INCORPORATED INSTITUTIONALIZED MIDDLEMAN STRAITJACKETS any class opposition, resistance, utilizing ABUNDANT MATERIAL RESOURCES at their disposal collected from automatic UNION DUES AND BUSINESS funding, squelching, intimidating, threatening, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL RESISTANCE, OPPOSITION, to COLLABORATIONIST POLICIES.
An individual or any group of workers presenting OPPOSITION being ground into oblivion, ostracized, isolated, by a FASCIST, STATE PARTNERED, MAFIA RUN, national and international LABOR operation as depicted ABOVE.
So, for the most part, murder NOT necessary here aside from some occasional assassinations.
Self-censorship and exorcism applies.
Instead, we have SLOW DEATH, disappearance, marginalization.
An un and under employed, homeless, marginal ARMY, invisible to our Establishment, roams our streets, alleyways, vacant, abandoned homes, houses, buildings, parks, daily, many millions more working for bare bones subsistence wages, part time wages, multiple jobs, no benefits, exploited, exhausted, IN DEBT, one paycheck or dollar away from total, completely, homelessness, impoverishment, left to fend for themselves.
THEY REPRESENT A SILENT MAJORITY BECAUSE THEY/WE COLLECTIVELY DO NOT OWN AND CONTROL NATURAL RESOURCES AND INDUSTRIES, thus, exercising NO economic power allotments and decision making flowing from it automatically.
THIS ECONOMIC MODEL EXPANDING, EXPORTED GLOBALLY TO FORMERLY NATIONALIZED MIDEAST, USSR, ASIA, AFRICA, EUROPEAN NATION STATES, COUNTRIES, ALLIANCES.

Irresistibly ending on an upbeat musical note, another ingenuous, brilliant, performer, humorist, satirist.
(By the way, SOME readers MAY recall his/their "2000 Year Old Man" presentation??
Perhaps, I will link to it another time for those unfamiliar with his/their sketches.)
So, without further ado:

HERE

THE US GOVERNMENT; 3 STOOGES

It's official.
Let me introduce them IF you are not already familiar:


Senior ExxonMobil officials attend the signing of the West Qurna 1 contract in Baghdad in January 2010. (BEN LANDO/Iraq Oil Report)

FROM:

HERE

http://www.iraqoilreport.com/business/companies/exxon-deals-not-frozen-krg-says-7601/

Their demeanor, body language, appears sort of glum, uneasy, depicted in a 3 stooges group photo above.
Maybe not only is it because things do NOT go well, smoothly, FOR THEM in Iraq, greater Mideast, BUT, additionally, they have murdered ghosts of BILLIONS during and after WWII hanging around their collective necks.
That extraordinary weight would make anyone slump a bit, wouldn't it??

Flowing from above, one more musical link from a brilliant, spectacular, performance.
Please note, I returned to correct my PREVIOUS link from the same show/movie in a post below.
Somehow, an INCORRECT link slipped by me and managed to get posted, instead.
Sorry.
After this, you are on your own with LOTS more available from same on youtube.
I won't belabor or belittle a point any further:

A GOBBLEDYGOOK AWARD

If an award such as that named above existed, a link below definitely warrants it.
Be forewarned.
If you find yourselves scratching your head confusedly, mystified, by double/triple speak, euphemisms, convoluted, tortured logic, intellectual obscurantism, analogies, references, analysis, you are not alone.
It is NOT YOU.
If you suffer headaches, take two aspirins and STAY in or under the bed.
When FIRST reading this headline my eyes nearly popped out of my head and I laughed hysterically.
Today's joke.
Intriqued, curious, excited, puzzled, I read on with anticipation to see just HOW 1848 Europe, German, historic peasant revolts relate to 2012 MidEast events.
Quite an imaginative FICTIONAL stretch below.
Would you agree??
EXCELLENT example of Jabberwocky, rationalization in a Land of Oz, Alice Through a Looking Glass Darkly, tortured NAZI Dictatorship logic.
HOWEVER, buried, esconced, in verbiage and jargon lay, I believe, an oblique answer, reference, to SOME questions posed in my earlier posts just the other day (see Tuesday entries underneath) as to WHY, for which, what, reasons, purposes, reportedly a US DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) DIRECTOR visited Egypt (and Bahrain).
See if YOU can find answers to which I refer in our NAZI puzzle palace, a reflecting house of mirrors, reverberating echo chamber.
Consider it as test, exercise, art form, skill, necessary when residing anywhere, anyplace, in NAZI/FASCIST Dictatorships.
Into a dark, deep, abyss, place, we descend:

POSTSCRIPT TO WATER, GAZA, ISRAEL, EGYPT BELOW

POSTSCRIPT to a slightly earlier entry just below.
Read first below.
Then, return here.
IN ADDITION to connections I make below regarding subject matter above, namely, a current Gaza desalination plant proposal, and, a past WSJ article I quote from 1994 regarding Khashoggi, Nimrodi, et.al., in an earlier link, entry, below, I am compelled to update, add as afterthought, another interesting CONNECTION, although, of course, not stated as such, namely, Iraq traitor extraordinaire JAFAR FAMILY DYNASTY, OCTOPUS, which extends from defunct former BCCI (Bank of Criminals and Crooks International), and, his/their investment firm, ABRAAJ.
And, here it is, an ABRAAJ PALESTINE GROWTH FUND!!
What extraordinary timing coincidence!!:

WATER, GAZA, ISRAEL, EGYPT

With so many important developments happening everywhere, one might easily wonder WHY bother highlighting an article, report, below, about seemingly so inconsequential an event as a proposed Gaza water desalination plant.
The reason it caught my attention lay in a SECOND link from a much earlier entry I did which follows immediately below.
You will see a connection upon READING second after first link.
So, first, current report:

HERE

http://news.yahoo.com/israel-says-backs-gaza-strip-desalination-plant-194417492.html

Then, from some years back, 1994:

HERE

http://karlmarxwasright2.blogspot.com/2008/06/khashoggi-and-caza.html

Following, also, another BRIEF Egypt news clip, a paragraph, snippet, seemingly once again trivial, insignificant, on the surface of it.
However, one must simply take my word for a following assertion, US DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) being incomparable, MUCH, MUCH, MORE important, significant, than our public face whipping boy and CIA operational arm.
DIA existence rarely being acknowledged, discussed, mentioned, reported, publicly.
DIA stands at the "brains" of what one can call post WWII US 1947 National Security Act, a DEEP STATE covert hierarchical intelligence structure, pyramid, NAZI dung heap.
US MILITARY, i.e., PENTAGON, Defense Agency, home of former NAZI German General, for example, then to become Pentagon Plans Officer, Fritz Kraemer, and, mentor of operational protege Henry KISSINGER, CFR, Rockefeller, et.al.
CIA being to DIA as a junior, subservient, operational, hands on, partner.
Fact a DIA Director, apparatchik, appeared in Egypt (and Bahrain) becomes meaningful in and of itself.
Question, of course, being WHY, WITH WHOM THEY PARTNER, ISSUES DISCUSSED, THREATS, PROMISES??
I can not answer my own questions, unfortunately.
I, along with others, can only SURMISE.
Wish I were a proverbial fly on a wall.
Perhaps, Egyptian names and sources quoted below are quantities KNOWN to others regionally, unlike myself, and thus provide possible clues, insights, answers, hints, to questions I pose above:

FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY SPREAD WINGS FROM GREECE TO IRAQ/MIDEAST

First, a brief note, commercial, from our sponsor, a greater OCCUPIED MidEast, MENASA, engulfing, expanding, intensifying, escalating, BARBARIC, MURDEROUS, KILLING, WAR ZONE:

http://www.interaksyon.com/article/26667/iraq-mulls-baghdad--shutdown-for-arab-league-summit

And, then, on to OCCUPIED, not quite yet killing, Greek historic coastal fields and greater, disintegrating, Euroland:

http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2012/03/12/national-day-parades-mar-2512-to-take-place-as-usual-despite-fear-of-protests/

Above succinctly characterized, sums it up, in a large Mediterranean coastal nutshell.

TALE OF MULTIPLE HORRORS, NIGHTMARES, MANIACS

One finds in United Suckers and Assholes NAZI HOMELAND DICTATORSHIP NO demonstrations, ACTIONS, PROTESTS and/or DEMANDS FOR COMPLETE LIQUIDATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, RESOURCE/INDUSTRY NATIONALIZATION and/or PROSECUTION around/surrounding OUR CERTIFIABLE PATHOLOGICAL DERANGED, DEGENERATIVE, DYSFUNCTIONAL, INSANE, LUNATIC, PRIMORDIAL, ATAVISTIC, BESTIAL, REPTILIAN BRAINED, HISTORICALLY REPETITIVE MASS, GENOCIDAL, NAZI MURDERERS, ARCHITECTS, PICTURED, FEATURED, ABOVE.

Quiescence on a NAZI home front.

They DO have a master god called PROFIT to which, obediently, they subserviently kowtow.
Collateral damage being sacrificial lambs slaughtered at PRIVATE PROFIT BEHEST, CAPITAL ACCUMULATION ALTAR.

Their god and others serving similar purposes historically.

Reasons why should be obvious to anyone reading my posts for some time and those understanding already of whom many exist, BUT, SAY, DO, NOTHING, NO CONFRONTATION, BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID SERVANTS TO RENDER UNTO CEASAR, GIVE LEGITIMACY, SANITIZE, THEIR BARBARIC, HORRIFIC, HORRENDOUS, REPETITIVE CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, as in the case of, for example, United Suckers and Assholes LABOR YES MEN AND WOMEN, DEBT CZAR, FASCIST PARTNERED, PRIVATELY INVESTED, PENSION FUNDS, HEALTH CARE and proliferating, redundant, fake, bogus, manufactured NAZI FRONT opposition GROUPS, mercenaries, surrogates, proxies, think tanks, a virtual reverberating echo chamber, house of mirrors, media, communication, internet and so on.

These PRIMAL NAZI genocidal maniacs, bestial barbarians, lunatics, as those represented above, AND THEIR INTERNATIONAL CLONES, PARTNERS, COHORTS, OVERT AND COVERT ASSETS, APPARATUS, CADRE, CABAL, HIT MEN, APOLOGISTS, ACADEMIA, FEATURED DAILY ON TV screens around the globe as if what, who, they are and do represent NORMAL stuff of everyday routine.

Heil Hitler!!

Living, surviving, in the bowels of complete, thoroughly degraded, debased, debauched, compromised, NAZI appeasement STATE DICTATORSHIP APPARATUS, thus, DOOMED together on Planet, Spaceship, Earth to mass species extinction, self-annihilation.

Every single social problem existing presently could, can, be substantially, EASILY, abated, mitigated, resolved, ameliorated almost overnight WITH/BY/THROUGH THEIR EXTINCTION, annihilation, above.

They represent parasitic, irrational, anachronistic, resuscitated zombies, cadavers, surviving off bloodsucking public dole, natural and human labor exploitation, ever more, endless, redundant, wasteful, consumption imperatives.
THEY MUST, or, we all, CEASE TO EXIST.
NO OTHER CHOICE, OPTION, EXISTS.
IT IS IMPERATIVE!!

MORE INVITATIONS, BYE, BYE ASSAD, AHMADIMORON

I am over or underwhelmed by volumes of UNSOLICITED largess, plethora, of MENASA investment conference invitations on a daily, weekly, basis in my email inbox.

Of course, these offered invitations, advertisements, come NOT free.
So another conference SAMPLE I chose below from amongst many hundreds, thousands, just for IDIOTS, MORONS, which encompasses a great global conglomerate, growth, employment, industry for NAZI ENABLERS, PARTNERS, SPONSORS, OPPORTUNISTS galore, everywhere.
Take your pick of NAZI flavored conferences.
If you don't find one that suits you, try another.
Bound to be one that fits your needs:

http://www.afrra-en.org/ara-week-r17252.html

Above occurs against a BACKDROP of THEIR SPONSORED MERCENARY, SURROGATE, PROXY, MENASA KILLING FIELDS, civilian collateral damage, EXPANDING, WIDENING, ENGULFING, IMPERIALIST, OPPORTUNIST, WAR THEATRE, ARMS BAZAAR, ALL FOR PURPOSES ABOVE.

On this theme, a few more notable items to mention.
First:

http://www.stratfor.com/situation-report/russia-moscow-suspends-contracts-syria

Then, Russia Lukoil investment IN IRAQ:

http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=115708&rss=true

One plus one implications being clear, as I indicate in my POST HEADLINE, TITLE above.

All fall down together in MENASA shifting sands.
Assuredly, fighting hardly over.
Nope.
Barely. Hardly.
Just beginning.

As for US Wizard of Oz NAZI OCCUPIED Rockefeller Citigroup/Exxon/Morgan Democratic OBOOMA DICTATORSHIP, a FIXED horse race called Republican primaries grinds forward inexorably representing NOTHING beyond more financial SUBSIDIES, gobs of money, for PRIVATE media corporations, consultants, PR firms and APPEARANCES of meaningful contests, i.e., mass entertainment, Roman bread and circuses, theatre.

Phantom of the Opera being MUCH, MUCH, BETTER quality theatre.
No comparison.
Our elections being shallow, transparent, Hollywood, animated Disneyland cartoons, theme parks.

Additionally, a divided Republican primary makes current White House resident ZERO OBOOMA look better, deflect, divert attention away from him/them and any meaningful, substantial, issues, discussion, dialogue.
ALL FLUFF.

Every single Republican candidate detested idiots, morons, most likely, financed by the same SLEAZY TACTICS PREVIOUSLY UTILIZED BY CURRENT NAZI CITIGROUP/EXXON/MORGAN OBOOMA PUPPET and their former DIVISIVE, STOLEN, DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY campaign.

No matter what, which, dirty tactics employed, top Democratic rats already indicate departure beforehand from our current SINKING, STINKING, ROTTING CORPSE, a USS TITANIC NAZI SHIP OF STATE.

More "democratic" cosmetic change necessary.

MUSICAL INTERLUDE, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Taking a short respite, mental health note, away from our perpetual COLLECTIVE GLOBAL NAZI GUTTER and its PREDICTABLE, SORDID, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, BIG, NOT LITTLE, SHOP OF HORRORS which I itemize, enumerate, analyze, follow daily, repeatedly, I thought, instead, today, I would feature, share, something abit more uplifting.
Another point of personal preference.
HORROR OF A DIFFERENT KIND.
Our PBS TV stations must be COMPLIMENTED, commended, rewarded, encouraged, for broadcasting, sharing, PUBLICLY OVER THE AIR, NOT CABLE TV, for ALL to view, a STELLAR, SPECTACULAR, performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber 25 year long Broadway show, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, recently staged in London's Royal Prince Albert Hall.
Below is a PBS link.
Much more available on YOUTUBE and elsewhere on the web if you search.

Below I provide a Wiki link for anyone possibly totally unfamiliar, in the dark, pardon pun, with the above production:

HERE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_of_the_Opera_(1986_musical)

I can only imagine what a contemporary musical genius like beloved Lenny Bernstein would say IF he were alive to comment??
Alas, Lenny being no longer amongst us.
A great loss.

A few more editorial comments since this is MY blog, thus, can I indulge myself.
As in all else, it is beyond disgusting, deplorable, despicable, sickening, revolting, PUBLIC TV finances reduced virtually to nothing, instead of, as usual, EXPANDED, SUBSIDIZED, GREATER.
In the 1960s, former FCC Chair, Newt Minow, aptly described TV as a "VAST WASTELAND" represented by commercial, corporate, domination.
Instead, now, we have MORE, NOT LESS, VAST WASTELAND in the form of crappy SUBSCRIPTION DRIVEN commercial CABLE (not FREE over the air) TV, intertwined with REDUNDANT INTERNET, CELLPHONE, ELECTRONIC gadgets, services of all sorts and kinds.
PBS remains a shadow of its former self, dependent ever further, not less, upon CORPORATE, PRIVATE FOUNDATION MONIES, donors, sponsors.
This, of course, being intentionally designed policy so as to make PBS dependent, influenced, compromised in quality and content, thus, NOT presenting a viable, competing, substantial, alternative to commercial TV MONOPOLY vacuum.
TV is and can be an extraordinarily POTENT information, educational and communication device, medium, tool.
It's vast, enormous, POTENTIAL barely, hardly, tapped.
Instead, SQUANDERED, handed virtually FREE, on a silver platter, to mindless and mind numbing COMMERCIAL entertainment TV.
For those completely unfamiliar with historical background, eternally competing, contested, economic/political baggage, interests, surrounding establishment of a not-for-profit, public, US educational TV/radio medium, system, a Wiki SNIPPET gives one a flavor, hint, small idea of our endless boxing ring:

ARMORED VEHICLES; AMWAL & NY TIMES

I thought a tidbit below nicely characterizes STATE FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY, BOUGHT, PAID, PURCHASED, by US taxpayer dollars in Iraq, invasions, occupations, coups, throughout greater MidEast/North Africa/South Asia and the globe:

Sure enough, suspicions, hunches, confirmed.
