Greeks Livid Over Incendiary Letter In German Newspaper

[Lars77]

ATHENS, GREECE: Sunday's Greek election is going to be incredibly close, as the establishment conservative candidate Samaras does battle with the radical left-winger Alexis Tsipras, of the SYRIZA party.

Any late shift could tip things, and tonight in Greece there's buzz about an open letter to the Greek people in the newspaper Bild, which basically says: Dear Greeks, who you choose tomorrow is your choice, but it's us Germans who keep your ATMs filled with Euros, so be careful which clown you pick (via @efiefthimiou).

If you choose not to honor your commitments, no more Euros from Germany.

Anyway, this is being talked about quite a bit, and you can probably figure how a letter from a right-wing German newspaper is going over. Suffice to say... it's not going to make anyone vote for the conservative.

1. If Greece chooses SYRIZA the loans and aid to them will be cut off.

The ECB and Bank of England are preparing for chaos.

2. I'm rooting for Syriza just so the Greeks can deliver a little

late payback to the fucking Nazis for what they did to Greece during WWII. Since German banks and their stock- and bondholders will be the biggest losers if Greece exits from the Euro, I say "Rock On, Syriza" (and F-U Deutschland)

3. There were plenty of Greeks fighting for the Nazis.

There is also a Greek Nazi party at play in this election.

It is also worth noting that their fascist dictatorship established later was essentially a puppet state of the US and NATO.

6. The Golden Dawn have nary a chance, but it is disgusting that they can even show their faces

I am intolerant of intolerance.

9. There were so many Greeks fighting for the Nazis that

Hitler had to divert a couple divisions just to bail Mussolini's ass out of the fire, thereby costing Hitler Stalingrad and, with it, WWII

Agree with you that the military dictatorship was a U.S.-led creation.

4. I hate the Nazis with the burning passion of a thousand suns

But an FU to Germany would hardly affect the Nazis. It would, however, cause chaos all over Europe and eventually the US.

[Lars77]

11. And we all now what European chaos can lead to..

Nazis!

[Turbineguy]

12. Those clever Nazi's!

They have things organized so that all of us will pick up the tab.

17. I'm sure by defaulting and being kicked out of the euro

while reverting to a third world status will totally stick it to those germans.

Take that for the holocaust!

[coalition_unwilling]

18. It will surely stick it to a bunch of fat-cat bond-

and stockholders of German and U.S. banks (most of them in the 1%). And it may cause German manufacturing to dive off a cliff, such that the German working class will throw Merkel out on her ass as soon as next week (via a vote of confidence in the Bundestag).

The German people elected Merkel and I'm not going to feel too sorry for them when they suffer the consequences of her 1%-centric behavior(s).

Actually, as to Greece's 'reverting to third world status,' see Argentina.

5. Attacks On Greek and Spanish Banks and Markets- DATA COMPROMISED !

There is a report that demonstrators in Athens and Madrid are physically CUTTING BANK COMMUNICATIONS by damaging financial data satellite uplinks and by cutting fiber- optics cables leading into major bank and stock market office buildings !

These moves ARE A GAME CHANGER for all Europe !

Any ' policy issues ' are now a MOOT POINT.

Also, world financial and markets transactions ARE INFECTED BY A VIRUS THAT COMPROMISES DATA SECURITY AND INTEGRITY !

This virus is SPREADING RAPIDLY IN EUROPE AND THE US business data communications sector !

14. Who needs a link? I find the capital letters extremely persuasive. (nt)

[dionysus]

[Angry Dragon]

15. link??

[ProdigalJunkMail]

16. it's been over an hour since the first request for a link

and unless the poster is inventing a website with the invented story you ain't gettin' no link (think Caddyshack).

19. OMG OMG OMG

[uppityperson]

20. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG REALLY?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! OMG

[Zalatix]

21. Bah, I doubt that this is true. Humanity is not smart like that.

If that were really happening it would be a really great thing and great things don't happen anymore. Not great good things, anyway.

[southernyankeebelle]

10. I think it's alittle ironic that Germany is beating other european countries over into submission

without firing a shot. It's to bad the other european countries didn't realize that before hand. To think our banksters and wall streeters some how helped the downfall.
