Normalising the Crime of the Century

10-12-2009 17:11

The purpose of the Chilcot inquiry is to normalise an epic crime by providing enough of a theatre of guilt to satisfy the media so that the only issue that matters, that of prosecution, is never raised.

"There could be tanks in the streets of Athens"

10-12-2009 11:53

But will the people of Greece withstand the pressure of their own government? Greece could slide into bancruptcy. As rating agencies and European politicians put pressure on the socialist governenment to push through "reforms" ie severe cuts in public spending to avoid bankruptcy, Papandreou announces hard times for the Greek people. In the end it all comes down to this: Is Papandreou more scared of riots, or of the European finance bourgeoisie? In a US blog someone even sees tanks in the streets of Athens.
