Since January, a game of massive proportions<\/strong> has been launched against the euro and the European economy, by American banks – led by Goldman Sachs.<\/p>\n

The very bank that is currently under scrutiny at the US Senate, has been known for years to play dirty games not just against institutions but also against entire countries. For an eye opener, I suggest visiting GoldmanSachs666.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Late last year, Goldman Sachs offered a loan to Greece, then went around and bet against it. It’d be as if your bank that gives you a mortgage speculated that you won’t be able to pay your monthly dues and bought insurance against you.<\/p>\n

This is what sports bookies do: they don’t care if they bid for or against a result.<\/p>\n

This unethical practice is being currently uncovered by the US senate, at the same time as a war against the Greek economy has been launched. Those outside of the political arena are quick to speculate that an orgy of mismanagement is to blame.<\/p>\n

The truth is very different.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every country has a national debt, including major western powers such as Germany, France, the UK and Russia. Why did I leave out the US?<\/p>\n

Because California alone has a debt matching that of Greece. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine having a car loan and the bank increased the rates every month. Imagine that at the same time, they lowered your credit score, each month so that you could not refinance the loan.<\/p>\n

That’s exactly what is happening right now with the Greek economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, all this definitely makes excellent cannon fodder for the news media. Instead of focusing on Wall Street, the mortgage crisis, the failing US economy and the 10% unemployment that President Obama has failed to manage – they are eager to bring the war overseas.<\/p>\n

Some media have attempted to induce humor – albeit of the offensive kind – stating that in order to repay its debt, Greece must sell important national monuments or several of its islands in the Aegean.<\/p>\n

Humor can go that much far though. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I’d love to see the faces of Americans, if they were asked to privatize the Capitol, or to give the Statue of Liberty back to France. Perhaps, if the Grand Canyon were about to be sold to Mexican investors to turn it into a mega mall, then it’d become apparent what Greece is being asked to do.<\/p>\n

The Parthenon is not for sale, dear Westerners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If anything else, the stolen marbles of its frieze, on display at the British Museum – after being ‘treated’ with storage, molding and vulgar scraping of their Pentelic marble – are being demanded back.<\/p>\n

Visit BringThemBack.org<\/strong><\/a> to understand that there will be war long before Greece surrenders its heritage and national monuments to the predatory bankers of Wall Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n
