Greek Media: US in negotiations with Athens over Macedonia

-
"Stability" is the codename of the U.S. secret plan that will start to unwind prior to the elections in Germany, with the ultimate objective of altering the Greek debt repayment period up to 2063, reads Greek daily "Dimokratia" citing diplomatic sources from Washington, media has reported from Athens.

According to the newspaper, the Americans have lost their patience with Germany, considering it a luxury the wait until the spring of 2014 for talks over reduction of the Greek debt. Taking into account the situation in Syria, Egypt and Turkey, the United States still believe Greece is the oasis of stability despite its problems, therefore deciding to act in the time of Germany's election campaign.

"Credible information from senior diplomatic sources say the U.S. departments of state, defense and treasury are developing a comprehensive plan for Greece's final exit from the crisis, which contains several points referring to the period of the debt repayment, change of interest rates and establishment of an investment solidarity fund according to the Norwegian model... The United States, via the IMF, sends messages to Germany that the Greek case should be closed as soon as possible through a package deal involving the debt, energy, the exclusive economic zone, and the issues of Skopje and Cyprus", says "Dimokratia".

According to the paper, the Americans believe this is "the ideal time" to close the Skopje issue and Macedonia to join NATO.

"Of course, nothing comes for free in international diplomacy...Diplomatic sources have noted that firstly, Samaras has transferred the trading burden and will sacrifice everything to secure a name erga omnes. Secondly, in his recent speech at the New Democracy Congress, he did not mention a geographic qualifier, urging Skopians to renounce from irredentism and agree on a name that will not touch upon the Greek character of Greek Macedonia", reads "Dimokratia".

The plan's uncovering is not by coincidence, since PM Samaras is set to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama on August 8. It is also no coincidence that Samaras brings Finance Minister Stournaras and Foreign Minister Venizelos to Washington, the former responsible for issues related to the debt and investments, whereas the latter a strong supporter of U.S. and Israel's ties.

"A major part of the U.S. agenda coincides with the one of Samaras regarding the Greek EU Presidency. Despite its problems, Greece is attempting to demonstrate itself as a leading force on the Balkans, and that is why it will promote Albania and Skopje's (presuming a solution to the name row is reached) candidacies for EU accession, but it is also taking new steps in its relations with Serbia and Bulgaria", underlines daily "Dimokratia".

Griechenland: 2,5 MRD Euro Stromschulden – Versorger schaltet bald erste 50.000 Kunden ab!

-
In Griechenland wird der staatliche Stromversorger in Kürze damit beginnen in einem ersten Schritt 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abzudrehen. Die Außenstände belaufen sich insg. auf 2,5 Milliarden Euro. Betroffen werden vor allem Firmenkunden sein. Eine Katastrophe für die (vorhandene?) Konjunkturerholung. Es gibt einen handfesten Grund, warum die Höhe der Stromrechnungen in den letzten Jahren explodierte… Griechenlands staatlicher Stromversorger PPC hat Außenstände bei Stromkunden von insg. 2,5 Milliarden Euro, 1,8 Milliarden davon bei gewerblichen Kunden. Schulden haben insg. 2,1 Mio Stromkunden in Griechenland. Wenn man das umlegt auf die Gesamtsumme, wären das rein rechnerisch 1.190 Euro Schulden pro Stromkunde, aber bei 1,8 von 2,5 Milliarden Schulden durch gewerbliche Kunden dürften die Privatkunden natürlich deutlich kleinere Summen offen haben. In einem ersten Schritt will PPC demnächst 50.000 Stromkunden den Saft abdrehen nach vorheriger Mahnung, so berichtete es vor Kur

THE GREEK HERACLES WAS A BLACK MAN AND THE AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON GREEK AESTHETICS

By Samuel David Ewing It has occurred to me lately as I pondered about the next article for this section that the lineage, pedigree, or family tree of the Greek Heracles must be clarified once and for all. Diodorus Siculus and Herodotus recorded that it was the Egyptian Heracles who was the hero who performed the legendary 12 Labors, subdued the animals of the wild that had threatened the people, ushered in the building of cities, water systems, fortifications, and laws. Walter Burkert has estimated that this original Heracles was renowned as far back as 20,000 years ago. The Greek Heracles ended up receiving honors for the accomplishments of his predecessor, having the title of "Heracles", furthermore by the Bronze Age of Greece in which the Greek Heracles was said to have lived the taming of the wilderness had already been accomplished. The Greek Heracles was not likely to be wearing lion skin armor, wielding a club, with spear as weapons, and the danger of lions ru

Griechenland: Sozialkassen schaffen parallele Staatsverschuldung

-
FMW-Redatkion Die Sozialkassen in Griechenland schaffen derzeit eine Art parallele Staatsverschuldung. Da die annehmen, dass ihre Löcher aus den jetzt fließenden 86 Milliarden Euro vom 3. Hilfspaket nicht gestopft werden, haben sie angefangen in Eigenregie Kredite aufzunehmen. Da sie Rentenfonds, Krankenkassen etc staatliche Einrichtungen sind, erhöht sich damit per Saldo die Staatsschuldenlast Griechenlands noch weiter, auch wenn der Staat Griechenland kaum darum bemüht sein dürfte diese Extra-Schulden in seine eigenen Schulden einzurechnen. Aber Schulden sind Schulden. Wie die angesehene griechische Zeitung „Ekathimerini“ berichtet, hat das „Social Insurance Institute“ im August ein kurzfristiges Darlehen (wird wohl eine Dauerumschuldung) über 110 Mio Euro aufgenommen. 70 Mio davon gab man an seinen öffentlichen Versicherungsfonds weiter, 40 Mio davon an seinen kommunalen Versicherungsfonds. Auch schieben das „Social Insurance Institute“ und der „Generational Solidarity

- Greece has already lost in the case of the name issue. Ninety – five percent of the countries in the world accept the name Macedonia, and we continue to discuss this, said Nikos Dimou, a member of the Greek political party “Potami” (River) when guesting the show on Sky television. Dimou, a renowned Greek writer with more than 60 published books , said he supports a solution based on a composite name with a geographical qualifier, but added that he agrees that Macedonia can be called whatever they want “Macedonia as well”. - The name issue was mismanaged by the Greek government from the very beginning. It is a question for which we have already lost, Dimou said. As MIA reports from Athens, he added that it is his personal view and not the party’s, as he said, ” it has not established a position on this issue”. Dimou’s statement met with strong reactions by some Greek media. The electronic edition of “Hellene Elisis” commented that “the new party discovered their g
