THE GREEKS FACE AN I.Q. TEST
In January, 2012 the Greek population will have their minds examined.
Everyone knows the Greeks want to stay in the Euro Zone–use Euros not Drachmas, travel freely through Europe, work anywhere in Europe and have other countries pay their debts; but, are they willing to pay the price?
Will the Greeks understand that the so called “Austerity Program†laid out for them will mean working many more years before they retire, work more hours each day, without the usual two to three hour meal breaks, have less vacation per year—and, worst of all, pay all their taxes!
Are the Greeks willing to turn into Germans? Can a culture which has evolved over four thousand years be abruptly and totally changed? Perhaps, if you can trick an entire population. Also, perhaps, if that population thinks it can trick the rest of Europe.
THE INTRICACIES OF A REFERENDUM
Referendums are questions put to the voters of a country. They happen frequently in Switzerland where democracy is practiced as astutely as possible by a people who want to shape their own destiny and do not want their government telling them what to do.
However, the people do not always win. The power groups that control every country on the planet have their shrewd ways.
Just like a couple or small group, people will devise ways to misinterpret reality; to confuse and deceive each other so that one or a small group succeeds in winning the consensus.
THE SWISS MINARET CONTROVERSY
Switzerland has, since its formal beginnings as a nation in the year 1291, been a Christian nation. The Swiss flag has a white cross emblazoned across the center. Yet, in the recent past, as the result of a need for cheap labor, Switzerland began to import Turkish and other Muslim workers into its country.
Prior to the last fifty years, becoming a resident in Switzerland was almost an impossibility as Swiss Law states that every Swiss Citizen had to vote on each new immigrant to allow him or her to remain.
However, economic pressures predominated and immigrants were allowed into Switzerland to work at jobs the Swiss disdained and these people took root.
Being Muslims, they built Mosques. On top of the Mosques they built minarets.
The topography of Switzerland subtly began to change. Interspersed between the thousands of small churches with their crosses popped up the bright pointed minarets. The Swiss who are a careful and thoughtful population scratched their chins. What to do?
The government and the power groups knew what to do. Let them build anything they want! We need cheap labor! Any laws restricting minarets were deemed “unconstitutional†by the political arm of big business.
So the people, in particular, the conservative portion of the population, demanded a referendum. The result of the referendum was a rejection of the minaret. However, three cantons in the French region of Switzerland decided to allow minarets.
In addition, dozens of legal groups are still fighting to overturn the referendum on the basis that it is illegal, even though referendums are an integral part of the Swiss Constitution.
WHAT IT SEEMS AND WHAT IT IS
The coming referendum in Greece will be a play of forces between a government and banking partnership and a population mired in the mystery of ambivalent desires.
We would all like to be rich and not work. These fundamental human desires will be stretched to the utmost by the framers of the propaganda which will lead up to the referendum.
The people of Greece will be romanced by their government into remaining in a relationship with Europe in order to have the benefits of being a part of a large economic theater.
The requirements of hard and long work will be hidden and so will the fact that Greek citizens will be the slaves of European banks
for the next century.
Are today’s Greeks as intelligent as their ancestors? We shall see…
