OFFICIAL PROJECTION: “NO” SIDE TO WIN WITH 61%
Greece says N€IN (NO) to Euro/Global Banksters
As of 11:04 PDT, Greece’s interior ministry has released an official projection, showing that the no side is set to win by 61%.
That is a landslide result for the government, which had urged people to reject the bailout proposals made by lenders.

LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY
It is also a landslide victory for DEMOCRACY. The country that invented democracy has just showed the world how powerful it can be. And why the governments world-over are scared of it even if preaching it.
When was the last time we have had a national referendum on any subject in this country (USA), for example?
The answer: NEVER!
The Founding Fathers did not want to empower the American people with a plebiscite option, either. That’s why they invented the Electoral College and proportional representation, with no term limit for senators or congressmen. So that the powers that be could control the power of the people. The rest was rhetoric intended to pull the wool over the people’s eyes.
Those who cast the votes decide nothing; those who count the votes, decide everything,” Joseph Stalin was credited as saying.
Our American version of a demo farce this would translate into:
Those who cast the vote decide nothing; those who pick the candidates decide everything (Truth in Media, 2000)
Not so in Greece. Greece is now the only country in Europe in which the government and the people are united. Which is probably ringing alarm bells in Brussels, Berlin, London and Washington.
What if other nations copied the Greek example? One could just see the banksters and the politicians running for the holes in the wall like rats.
NOW WHAT? DARE WE HOPE FOR A NEW DAWN?
A friend asked me the other day what would happen next.
“Will Greece now leave the Eurozone?”
“It depends. There are two possible outcomes,” I replied. “Yes, that would be one.”
The other possibility is that the bankers blink and give in. Which is what the Greek government has been hoping. Now armed with support of the whole country, their hand at the negotiating table has been strengthened immensely.
“You know the old saying,” I said, “if you owe a bank $100,000, the bank controls you. But if you owe the bank $100 million, you control the bank.”
“And Greece owes the banks 100 times that amount,” I said.
It will be very difficult for the global and European banksters to walk away from €242.8 billion ($271 billion), the Reuters estimate Greece’s foreign debt to be.
More importantly. if they did, it could encourage other countries around Europe and the world to follow the Greek example and, like General McAuliffe’s reply to the Germans’ ultimatum at Bastogne (Belgium, 1944), say “nuts” to the banksters ultimatums.
Either way, it is the start of a new dawn in Greece now, both literally and figuratively. And dare we hope in the world, too?

ECHOES OF “WALL STRET FINANCIAL TERRORISM“-COLUMN FROM 17 YEARS AGO
TOMORROW, GREECE VOTES IN REFERENDUM ON E.U./IMF LOANS
Greek Solidarity Rallies in London, Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Rome
Greece’s finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has compared the action of his country’s European creditors to terrorism. The outspoken minister told El Mundo that the country’s lenders were trying to instill fear.
What they’re doing with Greece has a name — terrorism. What Brussels and the ‘troika’ want today is for the yes (vote) to win so they could humiliate the Greeks.
Why did they force us to close the banks? To instill fear in people. And spreading fear is called terrorism.
The “troika” refers to the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission.
Varoufakis also said he was sure of reaching an agreement with Greece’s creditors if the country votes NO.
Because there’s too much at stake, as much for Greece as for Europe, I’m sure. If Greece crashes, a trillion euros – the equivalent of Spain’s GDP – will be lost. It’s too much money and I don’t believe Europe could allow it.
Now, as the Greeks mull over their precarious situation, they might take comfort in the fact that they are not alone.
No, I am not just referring to the Greek-solidarity rallies that are taking place today across Europe – in London, Dublin, Paris, Brussels, Rome. The current situation in Europe reminded me of my March 1998 column “Wall Street’s Financial Terrorism.” It fits the Greek crisis to a tee. Here are some excerpts so you can be the judge:
“Parallels between the British Empire and the New World Order Empire are striking. It’s just that the British crown relied on brute force to achieve its objectives, while the NWO elite mostly use financial terrorism (except for occasional raw power demonstrations, such as in the Gulf War or in Bosnia). The Great Asian Banking Crisis (of 1997) has just accentuated both the similarities and the differences between the two empires.
The British Empire was built by colonizing other countries, seizing their natural resources, and shipping them to England to feed the British industrialists’ factories. In the wake of the “red coats” invasions, local cultures were often trampled and replaced by a “more progressive” British way of life.
The Wall Street-dominated NWO Empire is being built by colonizing other countries with foreign loans or investments.
When the fish is firmly on the hook, the NWO financial terrorists pull the plug, leaving the unsuspecting victim high and dry. And begging to be rescued. In comes the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Its bailout recipes – privatization, trade liberalization and other austerity reforms – amount to seizing the target countries’ natural and other resources, and turning them over to the NWO elites – just as surely as the British Empire did by using cruder methods.
“We cannot help but question the IMF’s attitude. The IMF is acting as if it is an economic conqueror,” the governing Grand National Party of Korea declared on December 4, 1997. Korean newspaper headlines also lamented the country’s humiliation over the $57-billion IMF rescue package. “South Korea has virtually lost its economic sovereignty for the next three years,” said the Joongang Ilbo.
In the wake of the IMF invasions, local cultures are also under assault world over, just as in Queen Victoria’s time, being replaced by the “more progressive Western” (read materialistic) way of life.”
