Thank you, Michael Hudson. From Greece. Thank you for speaking out and your "straight talk" about the real reasons behind the crisis and our reasons for protesting.

Why don't people get this? The whole world is in the midst of a 'Land-Grab' from New Orleans to Haiti to Africa and damn far beyond. Every other video I watch has to do with resources, but MOSTLY Land!! Bankers and politicians keep ALL property values low until they can buy them CHEAP or take them by force. Land IS GOLD! Water rights are GOLD! The poor are being ~SO~ fucked over as to be beyond 'Orwellian'. DEFAULT, DEFAULT, DEFAULT!!! Find your masters, kill their dreams, BOYCOTT their Banks!!!

The truth is much uglier than you think, I'm afraid.

@paulrprichard I take your point and will only add that the fed prints currency and does not dispense tax money. I will set aside the difference between money and currency for now, however boiling down Hayek to "good" and Keynes as "bad" is at least and oversimplification, however no govt. is purely Keynesian or Chicago style (except maybe some of the latin american "adventures" from the 80's but we will leave that for another day.

@posimosh Oh, I forgot to mention privately owned central banking where base currency is loaned at interest by the treasury from the privately owned central banking at interest. The taxpayer is supposed to pay interest for the priviledge using a piece of paper or a number on a computer screen. Pretty dumb.

what an asshole. Yeah, Wall Street made you borrow that money. The government borrowed it. They lied so they could borrow more when nobody wanted to give it to them.

[andrelebaron]

the greek government borrowed money, liked so they could borrow more, and wasted it on government workers, now they want to stick the savers of Europe with the bill. End of story.

Rentists can be of all ideological bents; they'll put on whatever costume is needed given the task they set up to accomplish. Financial draining and financial raping can be accomplished under the cloak of any political banner. Financial rapists also not care if the government/economy to be raped is left-leaning or right-leaning. Come on people, this is not rocket science! Do not let your conception of the world be clouded by fake conflict!
