Eurozone on the Brink of Disaster: ‘It’s All Over. The Government is About to Collapse’

The Greek government teetered and stock markets around the world plummeted Tuesday after months of negotiations to save the Greek economy were suddenly thrown into disarray by the prospect of a public vote.
One day after Prime Minister George Papandreou stunned Europe by calling for a referendum vote on the EU bailout, the ripples reached from Athens, where some of his own lawmakers rebelled against him, to Wall Street, where the Dow Jones industrial average plunged almost 300 points.
Papandreou convened his ministers Tuesday night, and a spokesman said the prime minister was sticking to his decision to hold the referendum. Papandreou has also called a vote of confidence in his government, to be held midnight Friday.
“The referendum will be a clear mandate and a clear message in and outside Greece on our European course and participation in the euro,” Papandreou said, according to a statement released by his office. “No one will be able to doubt Greece’s course within the euro,” the statement said according to CNBC.
It is unclear whether Papandreou will have enough support. Several Socialist lawmakers have openly rebelled, with one going as far as defecting. Milena Apostolaki‘s departure whittled Papandreou’s parliamentary majority to just two deputies, leaving the party with 152 seats in the 300-member legislature.
Apostolaki’s departure “shows clearly that the government itself is losing gradually its cohesion,” said George Tzogopoulos, a political analyst from the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy.
He estimated that “that the government will not be able to remain in power for many days” and said it was likely that Papandreou “will call an early election very soon.”
Since the shock announcement, and as reported earlier on The Blaze, the worldwide reaction to the Prime Minister’s surprise referendum has been terrible. And things may get worse.
“Markets nosedived around the world, with billions wiped off the value of Britain’s leading firms, as Athens announced extraordinary plans to sack its military leaders amid rampant speculation that it was trying to head off a coup d’etat,” writes the Guardian.
Yes, Athens has allegedly removed its top military leaders. Panos Beglitis, Defence Minister, and a “close confidante” of Papandreou, reportedly summoned generals from Greece’s army, navy and air force and informed them that they were all being replaced.
No official reason for this sudden action has been offered.
“The development gave the impression that a Turkish-style military conspiracy was suspected by the government, but no such rumours or allegations had circulated in the country,” writes Paul Anast of The Telegraph. “Greece has been free of political interventions by the military since the overthrow of the military junta that ruled the country in the 1967-74 period.”
The Foreign Office in London downplayed the rumor of a military takeover saying, “officials in Athens were insisting that the Government had planned for some time to clear out its top brass,” reports the U.K. Mail.
However, according to The Telegraph, consideration for military changes weren’t even scheduled until Nov. 7. Furthermore, according to the same report, the scheduled annual reviews are more about promotions and retirement benefits then they are about upending the entire military.
“It’s all over. The government is about to collapse,’ said one Greek official in a U.K. Mail report. Greece’s former deputy finance minister Petros Doukas agreed: “The **** has hit the fan.”
“The referendum is a bad idea with a bad timing,” said Lionel Jardin, head of institutional sales at Assya Capital, in Paris, in the CNBC report.
On top of a possible military coup, EU leaders are furious with Greece for potentially plunging the entire eurozone into ruin.
“This announcement surprised all of Europe,” said a clearly annoyed French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been scrambling to save face for Europe before he hosts leaders of the Group of 20 major world economies later this week.
“Giving the people a say is always legitimate, but the solidarity of all countries of the eurozone cannot work unless each one consents to the necessary efforts,” he said.
Germany was even more infuriated. A leader in German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right coalition said he was “irritated” by Papandreou’s announcement and said the eurozone would have to consider turning off the flow of money which has kept Greece afloat over the past year, reports Reuters.
“This sounds to me like someone is trying to wriggle out of what was agreed — a strange thing to do,” said Rainer Bruederle, parliamentary floor leader for the Free Democrats and a former German economy minister. “One can only do one thing: make the preparations for the eventuality that there is a state insolvency in Greece and if it doesn’t fulfill the agreements, then the point will have been reached where the money is turned off.”
There is a real possibility that the referendum vote will reject the bailout deal. According to several analysts, many Greeks were unhappy with the EU deal because it would force them to agree to additional austerity measures which include severe cuts to public salaries, pensions, and benefits.
A referendum vote may end with a Greek rejection of the EU bailout. The Greeks were not exactly happy with the terms of the bailout (“even though it means the banks will write off 50 per cent of the country’s debt") and some critics have gone so far as to depict Germany's Angela Merkel as a "Nazi Overlord."
“If the Greeks are not ready to support Papandreou’s reforms, Greece faces an uncertain future in Europe,” said Michael Roth, Europe spokesman for the opposition Social Democrats in Berlin, in a Guardian report.
But is the situation really all that bad? Here’s a little perspective from The Independent:
The . . . economic crisis [could] cost millions of jobs around the globe and trigger mass social unrest, the world’s most powerful nations were warned yesterday . . .
The UN agency warned that it could take until 2016 for global employment to return to the levels of three years ago – and that anger could erupt on the streets of Europe and other continents as a result.
At this point, one wonders what could save the EU now.

All artificial bubbles must fall eventually because they’re not based on real consumer supply and demand, but rather the central banks printing money and setting interest rates artificially low. We all need to save and prepare because the collapse MUST happen eventually – no amount of printing in the world can change economic laws.
Fiat money is NOT at all a sound basis for a currency precisely because it IS so easily “expandable”. Precious metals make a great currency, which is why our Founders wrote it into our Constitution.
I have hope for America, but it looks like there’s too many people in Greece that want the government to take care of economics (which is completely impossible). If Greece (and America) does not SAVE and prepare, the necessary, and otherwise good, collapse of their fiat money system will destroy them.
Learn Austrian Economics, America and Greece.

Posted on November 7, 2011 at 11:10am‘It’s All Over. The Government is About to Collapse’
This was the problem all along. This is a limited venue but I’ll try to explain why. Currency demands government (to regulate it). The EU was a ‘conglomerate’ government over a common currency. That works, ok, if the (fiscal) rules are the same for everyone. But, fiscal behaviors and local and regional policies continued on, as usual. It was designed to fail this very way.
A “unified” or global currency, would require a regulatory body with the same jurisdiction as the currency. And it would require full “enforcement” capability. And the influence of such a body would grow, expand and change over time into a defacto government. Maybe, it would start out that way.
Take the blinders off. Hope and trust in government are antithetical oxymoron’. Government can’t do the “right” thing because it has no morals or values. Nor do the people in government have the right to behave in such a way as to display their personal set of morals or values. (Thank you, A.C.L.U.).
Yea, the game is almost over. You’d have to blind not to see it. And we are driving way past the finish line. There won’t be any salvageable pieces left of this after it hits. Except for the filthy rich, political cronies and politicians.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 9:39pmHave to love that EU “experiment”. The Global Elite still want the U.S. to become the ‘North American Union’ by joining America, Mexico and Canada. Why do we let these pathetic losers “experiment” with our Lives ?
Report Post »Just because the Global Elite have more “paper” and “shiny rocks” is no reason to allow them to enslave you.
Quit looking at our politicians, and look who is behind the Curtain.
Look to the Federal Reserve, IMF, Tri-Lateral group, Council on Foreign Relations, Global Banks, Royalty, and Old Money ( who financed all wars ? – hint – do research ).

For far longer than any of us has been alive, the progressives have been planning this day. The day of the secularistic, narcissic, socialistic. utopian dream. All of the pieces had to fall into place for this perfect conjoining. Social media is, by far, not the least of our modernities, that has made this “PUSH”possible.
Soon the global economy will have to be unified, and when that is accomplished, A despotic theocracy will be the new government….The NEW WORLD ORDER. All my Christian friends will know where i get my info.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 10:22pmI honestly hope the EU does fail.. It was designed to bring down our economy and force us into the NAU and it failed on it’s own. I am thinking it will be a boon to the dollar as it will be a “safer” haven. Watch the Dollar and Gold.

To try to unite divided countries is difficult.
A common market is a good thing, but it goes contrary to human nature.
Let’s legislate human nature.
Oh, it doesn’t work?
Gee. that’s a surprise.
Maybe proper government is universally compatible.
Maybe social engineering doesn’t work.
Maybe freedom is the only solution.
But, there are people that profit from failure.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 10:19pmYeah, I just wish he wouldn’t cry so much. I mean…he’s a nice guy, someone I can really relate to. But I miss the comedy part. He’s lost his inner clown and depends on other people to do that, now. And lately, he’s been crying like almost every day…even things I don’t see really necessary to cry.
Report Post »I turned it on one day and he was crying about his Snow Angel book. Come on! It’s just a little too excessive, lately. You can only handle so much depression before you want to beat yourself over the heat with a bat. After a while, I have to turn it off.
Glenn needs to find out how to add humor into his stuff again on occasion, and for god’s sakes lighten up. Maybe take another vacation…he really needs it.

Posted on November 2, 2011 at 12:21am@Louise. You are right. But how many have been willing to put it out there the way Glenn has. I mean a lot of us know it but we don’t say it. I’m thinking Glenn could have made bigger bucks if he had been willing to toe the CNN and Fox line. But he went with his convictions and opened a lot of eyes. Not many in his place would have done the same. Turns out it worked out well for him but he could have gone down in flames.

Prior to the world wars, countries were basically sovereign
If one country went down, or more importantly, went up, the rest didn’t care much
After the wars, the idea of MAD was introduced using weaponry as the control (WMD)
That didn’t work, so the idea had to kick over to wealth control
Mutually Assured Destruction had been around
Now MAD is used as a tool to mutually destroy the entire world economy
The most important sentence above is the second sentence, more specifically the middle
Report Post »The ultra elite have been trying for centuries to get richer, either by stealing it through conquering or simply taking over the wealthiest nations from within
What better way to steal wealth then to have it ALL crash
It’s easier to steal from a staving man with wealth then it is a fighting man with wealth
