Richard,

We are in the same boat for different reasons. I just need to access my salary!
They say, and I repeat it with caution, that next week banks will open for internal processes like clearing checks deposited via accounts, (not to be cashed at the counter), international shipping, student remittances and overseas medical expenses.

Kenneth Tynan once on live tv in the UK explained the definition of a motherfucking situation. I do not remember his definition, but I am getting a true sense of it these days.

Hope so Nikitas. I had a call from the central clearin bank in London asking if iwanted to go ahead with trying to claim the monies from the cheque as they also did not have a clue what is going on in Greece. At the moment i dont partiularly need it but its my money in there and although its not a crisis for me tbh. If there is a Grexit (and the probable devolution) I'll probably lose out.

Regards

Richard (still hoping)

There won't be a Grexit.

Meanwhile, UK are lowering their own bank deposit guarantee protection ...

Brexit coming for sure.

" Greek Parliament Backs Bailout Proposals "
Greece has no choice but to submit fresh proposals in line with demands made by the EZ members if it wishes to stay in the EZ and avert total economic disaster.

Did they jump or were they pushed!!!!!!!

Just six months ago Syriza got into power in Greece on a mandate of restricting austerity and tackling greed and corruption by the wealthy. They had the overwhelming support of the ordinary Greeks and the hostility of the privileged classes who stood to lose their hold on the Greek finances.

They started well and the confrontation with the Troika took the wind out of the EU sails. These guys were actually fighting back against the IMF/ECB/EU, something I don’t think the Troika were expecting. Result? ..... Confrontation between a bunch of bureaucrats protecting the interests of the international banking cartels........... and an economist called Varoufakis.

There is little doubt in my mind that Varoufakis was the driving force behind the proposals made to the Troika and that he is well aware of the way the banking and global monetary system works. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at those meetings ..... I have searched but apart from quotes there appear to be no transcripts of the exchanges.

Whilst ‘conspiracy theorists’, which is what anyone who questions the banking system is refered to, are tolerated and ridiculed for their views, when it gets down to a nation state kicking back against the system, that could not be tolerated by the Troika and their backers.

Why did Tsipras dump Varoufakis? Was he told to do so or else ? Did those who disliked Varoufakis in his own party demand that he went? Why have there been no explanations by Varoufakis ..... was he told to keep his mouth shut or else?

Now Tsipras has conceded to virtually all the demands for further austerity that the Troika demanded, which is a betrayal of the people who voted them into power. Last Sunday the people again endorsed the Tsipras/Varoufakis line and today ............... Parliament has approved Tsipras’ proposals for more austerity.

The whole thing stinks of dirty goings on behind the scenes! About a month ago an article I read said that the US had already started preperations for another regime change ....... this time in Greece, and it wouldn’t be the first time!

I see violence on the horizon.

Had Tsipras been “fighting back” for his country he would’ve arrested all the former Greek politicians, bankers, and other individuals who squandered all the state money in the last 10-12 years; and starting with the 2004 Olympic Games, that led to all that ridiculous unsustainable borrowing but instead the average idiotic Greek considers the IMF/ECB/EU to be the problem!

That’s how stupid and irresponsible Greeks are.

I thought we were at last going to see 'The People' fighting back lead by the Greeks. I think the .001% have other ideas. A turning in Greece would not only have destroyed the Eurozone but would have had serious implications for the global banking system and those that profit from it! If only people understood how the iniquitous banking system works ...... no chance now.
