‘An Absolute Mess’: Beck Breaks Down What Greek Elections REALLY Mean

The presidential elections in Egypt finally came to a head with the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi reigning victorious.
Mocking the failed predictions made by pundit Bill Kristol, an incredulous Glenn Beck marveled at the idea that the far from “secular” Muslim Brotherhood took office swiftly after pronouncing its plans to establish an Islamic caliphate based on Shariah law.
After an Israeli worker was shot dead at the Israel-Egypt border — something that has not happened in over 30 years since the peace treaty between then Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian PM Anwar Sadat was signed. Now, the regime that seeks the end of Israel, the West and even Coptic Christians living in Egypt, holds the highest office in the land. It’s also worth noting that the interim assembly chosen by the incoming part is not recognized by the military, making a “seamless” transition nearly impossible.
Beck breaks down a situation he deems “an absolute mess”:

Posted on June 19, 2012 at 4:58amBy July 15th, Greece will be out of cash. The Greek people have just voted for the hope of more socialism, but they will soon hit a brick wall, as the EU forces them to either accept depression-style austerity, or leave the Eurozone. This was just a short-term delay. The EU has made clear that there will be no more free money, unless Greek’s accept the reality of total EU control over them. There will be a showdown in the coming weeks between now and the end of July. Greece will lose!

Posted on June 18, 2012 at 10:07pmGreece will or will not stay in the European and it will not be the catastrophic event GB hopes for. Seek out someone who actually has real insight into what is happening in Europe, not someone who profits from spreading fear. GB has opinions but they are not based on anything but opinion. Read people on the ground everyday, not some American talking head.

Posted on June 19, 2012 at 4:54amThat’s interesting. I read analysis every day from people in the world of finance every day who disagree with you. One, John Mauldin, literally wrote a book on the debt crisis called Endgame. Others wrote a book called “This Time Is Different” (the point being that this time ISN’T different), about 800 years of research into economic crises. Still another has a Ph.D. in economics and runs large series of mutual funds. I also work in the world of finance, and I say you’re mistaken!
Report Post »They, like Beck, are warning that without serious change, the debt crisis in Europe will continue to spread, and that the contagion with eventually infest both Japan and the United States. Mauldin says that Japan “is a bug looking for a windshield”. He thinks that Japan‘s debt collapse may be the trigger to bring down the US’ house of debt cards. Just this week, he said we have now reached the “bang” moment that authors Reinhart and Rogoff explained in their book “This Time Is Different”.
The elitists and central bankers want us to believe that “all is well” and “this time is different” so that we will be dependent on them. Let us not be deceived! Calamity is certainty, unless we can turn the debt debacle around soon.

Posted on June 19, 2012 at 8:42pmA lot of people shrugged off Hurricane Katrina as nothing to be worried about, and look what happened to them. Contagion is the fear, but it’s not so much Greece as it is the rest of Europe. Non-Greek banks own Greek debt. When those bonds are defaulted on, those banks take big losses. In weakened countries like Spain and Italy, this exacerbates their own problems and means they have to bail out their banks even further. This adds to the their countries’ debt. This causes more fear in regards to their financial standing cause their interest rates to rise. This lowers faith in these countries to be able to pay back their obligations, creating fear that their banks will be insolvent. The bank runs that occur thereafter will collapse their banks. Then it’s Lehman Brothers times 100. Oh yeah, forget to mention the Spanish housing bubble that’s collapsing. Europe is in an infinite DO LOOP of bailouts–temporary relief–proves to be ineffective–more fear than before–we go to the brink–emergency summitt–bigger bailout. It eventually ends in either currency collapse or default. Either way, it’s a giant reset and most people will know suffering once the dust settles. You can either heed the warning and prepare, or end up on the roof wondering who’s going to save you. I hope you’re right, but I spend several hours a week studying this so I can make sound investments. Europe can save itself, but it will require the people there being willing to give up entitlem

Posted on June 18, 2012 at 9:32pmEurope successfully kicks the trash can farther down the road…soon this trash can will be a dumpster that will be unkickable. Of course with Spain’s interest rate jumping over 7% today in the European game of debt crisis whack-a-mole, time may not be on our side for very long (and I hope it’s before November to wake up enough people to the perils of crushing debt so we at least have a fighting chance to steer ourselves away from the deficit iceberg that will sink this mighty country).

Posted on June 18, 2012 at 8:53pmGrossly oversimplified. Greece is still going down. Just on life support longer, which means more good money after bad. All they are looking for is more ECB euros. They have no plan. Merkel is getting hammered from her people to stop it all. Hollande’s France is socialized to the max now. Spain is the next money sink, increasing daily the amount of 100′s of billions of euros they will need. There will be pain throughout Europe but they gotta cut their losses and work towards stability.
As I’ve said before, when the EU/euro was created this was seen by it’s creators as the endgame to federalize and socialize Europe.
