Greek Army Threatens Military Coup Saying \u201cWe Will Not Be Sold To Foreign Powers\u201d Ahead Of IMF Bailout Loan Vote Sparking Fears Of Military Uprisings And Civil Wars Spreading Across Europe. Military Officers And Police Forces Are Now Joining The Protests.<\/h3>\n

I recently wrote that the Greek Revolution has succeeded and the Government agreed to step down and create a new Government.<\/p>\n

Revolution Succeeds In Greece!!! Protestors Overthrow Government. New Government To Be Formed.<\/h1>\n

\"\" The Greek Revolution Has Succeeded In Forcing The Government To Step Down In The Midst Of Massive Protests Calling For The Regime of Corrupt Government And Crooked Banks To Be Replaced With Real Democracy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That announcement came amidst violent protests, and as Tyler Durden pointed out, was nothing but a bold face lie meant to placate the masses. Soon after the announcement and the subsequent calming of the masses, the Greek Prime minister announced he would not be stepping down, instead would only be reshuffling top cabinet officials and would ask for a vote of no confidence from the corrupt parliament that is looking to put over stressed tax payers on the hook for an international loan with 30% plus interest rates to bailout crooked greedy bankers.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the Prime Minister survived the vote of no confidence,\u00a0 and the Greek Government is set to vote for and approve the IMF bailout loan under banker controlled corporate media threats that financial Armageddon will hit the world if the vote does not pass.<\/p>\n

Economists, MSM Warn Of Global \u2018Armageddon Scenarios\u2019 As The Masses Riot In Europe And Calls For Revolution Spread To The US<\/a><\/h1>\n

\"Economists,<\/p>\n

Economists and the mainstream media are warning of a global \u201cArmageddon Scenarios\u201d as the masses continue to riot in revolt against the banks and calls for revolution spread into the US.<\/h3>\n

If you have watched the news today there is report after report of the Global markets being in a stage of economic collapse very similar to the financial meltdown of 2008.<\/p>\n

The economic upheaval is strongly tied the massive rights and protests in Greece, Spain and in fact through out all of Europe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However those threats do little to deter the people across Europe who feel that they have nothing left. In a Land of broken people suffering harsh austerity measures enacted to pay the tab for greedy bankers, who continue to participate in the same acts of fraud and reckless behavior that caused the Global financial meltdown in the first place, the people of Europe have had enough. Apparently so have the police and military forces.<\/p>\n

Several news agencies out of Europe are reporting that Army and Police officers have joined the people in the riots against the banks to protest what is being perceived by European nationals as the sale of national sovereignty to foreign powers.<\/p>\n

Greek Army threatens coup<\/h2>\n

Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, last year a prescient when he said to fear that several Southern European countries may fall prey to civil war and their democracy would be lost? Several Greek troops have now indeed threatened a military coup against the government because the Greek people, according to the union officer ANEAD feel \u201cto foreign powers to be sold\u201d.<\/p>\n

Especially in Europe it is normal for the military\u2019s political neutrality and not interfere with drafting the policy of the government. The call of the Greek officers association is therefore highly unusual, especially considering that the press spokesman for the ANEAD literally said that the army \u201cwill not tolerate violation of the Constitution, not the defense of our sovereignty should be.\u201d That was a clear threat to the address of the current Greek government.<\/p>\n

The Greek Parliament, this week to decide whether, in exchange for a new rescue package sovereign rights will give, such as self-determining the nature and extent of the enormous necessary cuts, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), by trends forecaster Gerald Celente recently so aptly renamed the International Fund Mafia.<\/p>\n

Overt threats of military coup<\/h3>\n

Under Greek reservists are now quite openly discussed a possible military coup. More and more soldiers to join police officers, customs officials and the Coast Guard since last week in Athens openly against the government are going to demonstrate. The Greek Defence Minister speaks of \u201cdangerous activities\u201d of Greek officers and made public a letter in which officers are threatening to \u201cward off\u201d the current government.<\/p>\n

Between 1967 and 1974, Greece was ruled once before by a military dictatorship that came to power by a comparable domestic crisis today. In February this year, the Greek government under the guise of preparing for deployment abroad, the military exercise on the suppression of demonstrations and riots in urban areas. That was a clear signal that the government was considering to deploy the army against the people. Now it seems that the military no longer the government can be trusted.<\/p>\n

After Greece, Spain and Portugal also<\/h3>\n

At the moment Greece is the second, roughly \u20ac 100 billion big \u2018reddings\u2019 fonds rushed through it, and again the hand will have to cease, the opposition from other EU countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, probably even greater. Is it a military coup in Greece, or even threaten countries like Spain and Portugal, also on the verge of bankruptcy balance, again to fall prey to a military dictatorship. The danger of civil wars in these countries occur is increasing, because the greenhouse is empty and it is clear that the citizens will no longer pick up that, while social services are taken away, the European banks and insurers still be saved.<\/p>\n

Barroso would have predicted that it may soon be done to democracy in Greece, Spain and Portugal, so get to be right. The nervousness in financial markets will now increase. Spain already pays more than 6% interest on its government bonds, and as it stands is that 7% soon. The experiences in Greece, Ireland and Portugal show that 7% interest is untenable, causing a crash can not happen. Spain will also have to rely on the euro emergency fund, but that by no means sufficient.<\/p>\n

Eurozone and EU end?<\/h3>\n

Spain, like Greece need huge cuts go, it would be the Spanish army that can be perceived as an attack on national sovereignty . If it is thought that Italy and Belgium also financially dangerous water rafting, it\u2019s not hard to imagine that the end of the eurozone and perhaps even the entire European Union will result. For the globalist political and financial elite, this is a nightmare scenario, but for the freedom-loving Europeans it is the only hope to escape from the stranglehold of the Brussels dictatorship.<\/p>\n

Athens: Greek army over possible military takeover talks<\/h1>\n

Torben Grombery<\/h2>\n

There is great news for countries Domino: DC several Greek military now openly threatened with a possible military coup.<\/strong> The Greek government is deeply insecure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Greece has in the officer\u2019s union ANEAD informed about their chairman, the Greek people have the feeling of being sold to foreign powers. In no European army, it is normal for an officer associations expressed in this form. Military should maintain strict political neutrality. Is independent of the above statement then also, however, the press spokesman of the officer\u2019s union expressed with words, let that sit up. \u201cWe are not injury tolerate the Constitution, which does not serve to defend our national sovereignty,\u201d This was a clear threat to the ( yet) reigning Athens civilian government.<\/p>\n

For the Greek Parliament will decide yes this week, in return for the new rescue package to cede sovereignty to the IMF to make and impose itself, which must be made spending cuts. In the Greek Association of reservists are now talking openly about a possible military coup. More and more soldiers are also for those who are police officers, customs officials and the Coast Guard to close the show since this week also openly on the streets of Athens against the government. The Greek Defence Minister Panos Beglitis speaks of \u201cdangerous activities\u201d of Greek officers. And he published a letter from officers, which stated that they would \u201cdefend this government.\u201dFrom 1967 to 1974, Greece had experienced a military dictatorship, a similar domestic political crisis was preceded as the current one. In February 2011, the Greek government (disguised as a preparation for alleged military operations abroad ), the Greek army to quell riots and demonstrations have to practice in urban areas. At that time they apparently planned the military operation in the interior. But now she can no longer rely on their own army. For the EU a military coup in Athens came as no surprise. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso warned of exactly one year (mid-June 2010) during a meeting with union leaders before apocalyptic conditions in Europe.<\/p>\n

If the funding provided by emergency parachutes for bankrupt EU countries were not sufficient (which is predictable), it will soon be civil war and may also give military coups in the EU . Barroso said before the then visibly shocked union leaders in countries such as Greece, Spain and Portugal would then belong to the democracy of the past very quickly. The dictatorship would return. It threatens to bankrupt several EU countries, a military coup. Also, the risk of civil wars in many EU member states will increasingly likely, because the coffers are empty, but the citizens of their usual social services would continue to demand.<\/p>\n

It looks like you could keep Barroso\u2019s prognosis right. Barroso, predicted that there might be next in Greece and Spain and Portugal in a military coup. Spain is now paying more than 6 percent interest on government bonds. Takes the nervousness in financial markets with a view of the euro area continues to grow, Spain will have to pay almost 7 percent. The experience in Greece, Ireland and Portugal have shown is that unstoppable from 7 percent interest on government bonds of the crash. Then Spain would soon be ripe for the bailout. And by then would revolt in Spain and Portugal, the military, because they evaluate the tough austerity measures, like the Greek military as controlled by outside intervention in national sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Victory or Death in Athens<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

A protestor holds a Greek flag by demonstrating policemen by the Greek parliament in Athens during the rally by police, coast guards and firemen against the new austerity package on June 23, 2011 (AFP Photo \/ Louisa Gouliamaki)<\/p>\n

It has been a month since Constitution Square (Syntagma Square), where the Greek Parliament sits, turned into a site of public protest against the government.<\/p>\n

\u00adIt\u2019s crowded as if it were a busy afternoon, despite the late hours \u2013 although the local citizens assure me that tonight there are much fewer people than usual.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m further assured that nonetheless next week they\u2019re going to teach the government and the parliament a new lesson by means of more street protests and strikes.<\/p>\n

\u201cHundreds of people come out, and they are just ordinary Greek citizens, nothing like anarchists or anti-globalists, and neither are they any kind of professional protesters \u2013 these are the people of Greece. We are sick and tired of being misrepresented as a nation of loiterers and chair-warmers who are simply after other peoples\u2019 money,<\/em>\u201d says a young man who is busy taking care of the thirsty riot dog named Sausage (Loukanikos) \u2013 famous for its almost ubiquitous presence during every major protest in Greece. \u201cThat\u2019s an outstanding dog. He\u2019s always with the people and always against the police.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Sausage is probably the most famous dog of the Greek riots. There are thousands and thousands of his photos and video shoots. He is always in the front rows of protesters, and he lives in Constitution Square.<\/p>\n

Outside the fence that was fitted around the parliament to cut off the public, people take turns to deliver their speeches. They are no politicians. They are working people of various professions who come here after a day of work. Everyone I ask confirms that, \u201cWe work during the day and come here in the evening to express our fury to those sitting behind this fence and pretending they\u2019re working hard. They have a fun job indeed \u2013 getting the IMF and EU money and spending it on military contracts while cutting pensions and wages of the people who do the real work.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten days ago, people formed a live chain around the parliament building and kept the MPs inside until the police arrived to help the politicians out.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know how it started?<\/em>\u201d asks Helena who seems to know everyone in the square. \u201cThere were three lads discussing things in the internet forums, one was 16 and two others still younger. They were bugged by many reports saying that the Greeks just cannot act as decisively as the Spanish, and they spread a call to come out on a protest among everyone they knew. The very next day, hundreds of people came out, and two days later there were thousands. And these teenagers got scared and deleted their messages. And people thought that it was done by the police or intelligence agencies. And that sent hundreds of thousands into the streets, you see?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no sign of anti-globalists. Musician Theos explains, \u201cThey keep to themselves, they stay in their district and do not mingle. They claimed our protests had no agenda. The anarchists show up once in a while to start up an occasional fight with the far-rightists. Police take advantage of this sending in their agents disguised as anarchists so that they could throw a Molotov bomb to give the police an excuse to use tear gas against the protesters. We already caught some of the moles, dressed as anarchists but with a police ID in their pocket.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

A revolution in Greece would be impossible without the Church. \u201cThere have been no public statements from the Church, but our bishops sent off priests to be with the protesters, and everyone knows about it.<\/em>\u201d This is the explanation I got when I noticed a massive figure in a black robe with a cross. This is one of the most prominent priests. During the clashes with the police he was here holding up the revolution banner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe comes from the South where people consider themselves to be direct descendants of the Spartans. He was holding a white banner with a blue cross and mottos \u201cVictory or Death\u201d and \u201cWith the Shield or On the Shield,\u201d but the fact is that they, people from the South, have always considered themselves free. So basically it\u2019s only a question of \u201cVictory or Death,\u201d<\/em> comments a reporter who comes to do shoots in the square every day.<\/p>\n

An elderly barefoot man approaches us while we talk. Hearing that I\u2019m from Russia he gives me a gift of a hand knitted cross saying, \u201cI<\/em>t\u2019s from a very famous women\u2019s monastery. Keep it safe. Russian people have always been appreciative of such gifts<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are dozens of tents on the lawn at the lower end of the square which is covered in slogans, caricatures and proclamations.<\/p>\n

There are witty slogans like \u201cEven the maid said no, and you can\u2019t!<\/em>\u201d They mean the hotel maid who ruined the reputation of the IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn. The maid is held up as an example to follow for the Greek government forced to take unpopular measures. It has shown its inability to oppose the pressure of the global financial institutions even by word.<\/p>\n

There are odd slogans. To give you an example, there are demands to legalize the rights of foreign workers in Greece. \u201cNot everyone supports the demand, of course, but it is important that it does exist. We are neither nationalists nor bigots and do not want to survive at the expense of those who have come to Greece to work,<\/em>\u201d a lad who spent the night under the slogan told us. Three metres away from the lad some Africans are selling African figurines and fake bags.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bad that there is no centralized committee or think-tank mass protests of the kind that would normally be required. There is total anarchy. Everyone does what he wishes. And official opinion polls have shown that at least 75% of the Greeks are in favour of the revolution<\/em>,\u201d while listening to these words I keep taking pictures of the\u00a0 guys with PCs sitting under the sign \u201cMedia Centre\u201d.<\/p>\n

A woman approaches me and asks for me to stop, \u201cWe have decided it would be better to leave faces out of shot.<\/em>\u201d An instant later she is opposed by the supporters of the freedom-of-information idea and I am allowed to take pictures. But the woman feels obliged to provide me with a few instructions, \u201cStill try to keep people\u2019s faces off the camera. The police will be after them,<\/em>\u201d she says. But there are many secret service officers as well as disguised policemen in the square who are all taking photos as I am.<\/p>\n

The artistic part of the protesting crowd seems to fear nothing. Artists are surrounded by handcrafted items of all sorts, installations, pictures and satiric posters and comment on their work with great pleasure. A wannabe juggler is practising his skill in the distance. After all, it is a European revolution and any contribution is welcome \u2014 if the only thing you can do is juggle, this skill should be used to promote the common cause as any other.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of people are sitting in a circle on the pavement of the square. Speakers come and go \u2014 there is a table with a microphone on it and each speaker is given three minutes to present his vision of the problem and a possible solution. Then a vote is taken on the proposed solutions. This is what Greek democracy is like.\u00a0 Let me remind you that the origins of democracy are in Ancient Greece. And who can prevent the Greeks from improving its basics on the central square of the capital city today? This popular parliament starts its work at 9pm.<\/p>\n

And after the democracy classes, the Greeks go to dance and sing. Professional musicians and amateurs play together. Singers volunteer. Old and new songs are played, songs from the islands, southern and northern parts of the country. Those who are good at dancing dance to this music and experts feel free to comment, \u201cThis is a 13th Century song. And this one was composed by an Englishman in the 18th Century, but it is considered local in many regions. And this is a dance from Crete. See that musical instrument? It is only used in Istanbul and on one tiny island. And that lad, the one who has been playing, is blind.<\/em>\u201d The crowd gradually disperses by 3-4 O\u2019clock in the morning but a few hundred remain and stay awake and guard the square lest it should be won back by the government that is hated by three-quarters of the Greek population.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revolution does not have a committee, but it has reached consensus: people have united against political parties, against syndicates, fascism and racism. They have realized that the socialists in parliament are no socialists at all and that the communist deputies have betrayed their ideals, that fascism and racism are imposed on the people in order to split society, to make them fight one another and be unable to give rebuff to the government. This realization means a lot<\/em>,\u201d says a girl who was hopping to traditional Greek tunes a moment ago.<\/p>\n
