Is Goldman responsible for Greek crisis?

Goldman Sachs tricky derivatives trades may have masked the Greek debt just long enough to hurt all of us again. Goldman Sachs made up an exchange rate that allowed the Greeks to look as though they were only engaging in a currency swap when, in effect, they were getting more than a billion more than they should have from the trades in credit. Its likely that Goldman made a killing on the commissions for the swaps, and then sold the swaps to a Greek bank for even higher profits.

HENRY KISSINGER

Greek people are anarchic and difficult to tame.

For this reason we must strike deep into their cultural roots:

Perhaps then we can force them to conform. I mean, of course,

to strike at their language, their religion, their cultural and historical reserves,

so that we can neutralize their ability to develop, to distinguish themselves,

or to prevail; thereby removing them as an obstacle to our strategically vital plans in the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.

FOR THE HOMO NEANDERTHALENSIS BELOW

For example, workers in which EU countries work the longest weeks?That would be the Greeks, who work on average 42h a week. Spain and Portugal aren’t far behind with a work week of around 39h. And where is the shortest work week in the EU? That would be in the Netherlands, under 31h a week. Germans on average work just under 36h a week, significantly less than the hard-working Greeks they are now bailing out.

EUROZONE MASTERS...

Belgium (Karelvan Miert), Germany (Otmar Issing), Ireland (Peter Sutherland), France (Antonio Borges), Italy (Mario Monti) and Greece (Lucas Papadimos, Petros Christodoulou), all ex advisors of Goldman Sacks. HOW COME?

[921Christopher]

After pushing a large amount of money for Greece to hide their finaciall deficit and sending Greece to the EU, Goldman bought the Credit Default Insurance from a German bank as it had predicted that this crisis would happen,,,so is Goldman to blame?

@OderuntDumMetuant

You are really a dumb, uneducated moron.

Do you realise who caused the world crisis in 2008? Goldman sachs was deeply involved, do you realise that goldman sachs helped the greeks to enter the eurozone with huge debts? all camouflaged by goldman sachs.

Do you realise the people that have to 'save' europe from going bankrupt are the people responsible for all this? Mario draghi, was working for Goldman sachs, even as the new italian prime minister and the new greek president.

@scholion What a surprise a Sweden!!!

So now we have establish that we fuck you women you are free to come and get fucked any time you want (we will call it family package!!!)

Vikings? Really?

[scholion]

No, the lazy Greeks are.

Americans and Mediterraneans are just alike. You appreciate what life has on offer but don't wish to pay the price. What a great plan for society.

Continue like this and your offspring will get raided by Vikings. Yes, we mean it. Already you can hear their sincere appreciation of your fatherly guidance and manhood as they are forced to pay your debts by a ring of men being your superiours.
