oh.. and quit shying away from people of differing nationalities, race, religion, sex, age (if possible ), etc..

that whole divide&conquer thing... it works.

IF the most disastrous form of collapse were to occur, rest assured; the populace will be hung out to dry while the wealthy and corporations are propped up with the commoner's money.

Sound familiar?

Perhaps debtor's prisons and serfdom will come back into vogue.

I wonder when it will be 1778 again?

Yes, the divide and conquer tactic looks to be one of the cards being played by the Money Brokers at the moment and its working to a degree. I think the politicians and the civil service in the EU are pushing the fiscal pact to secure their salaries and when kicked out, their fat pensions.

However, I find that with the free streaming of information / knowledge these days, they are finding it more and more difficult the keep the true agenda under wraps.

We haven't has a World War for over 60 years but I think we are heading to a financial World War and the weapons being is cash! I also think that maybe this time the Money Brokers have bitten off more than they can chew. They may well have boxed themselves into a corner.

I would hope that the eventual outcome would be a fairer society, one that won't value cash above all else and hopefully will start to tackle the important issues humanity is facing, Hunger, Climate Change, Habitat Destruction, etc etc.

Thanks Michalis, I watched it with great interest. I had no idea about what had exactly happened in Greece. The media over the past few years would have us to believe that the Greeks were overpaying themselves and retiring at 50!

I especially noted the parts of the movie regarding the privatisation of electricty, water and rail. The very same thing is being forced on Ireland currectly!

Pete asked a question a while back, what can we do about these things? The answer is said and subtitled in the last few moments of the movie.
