Troika makes new punitive strike on Greece

As Ireland is also subject to the variable whims and arbitrary decisions of the EU/ECB/IMF Troika it is usually worthwhile to get english language news from their media on that secretive grouping. The Irish Independent this morning has a report on their latest visit to Greece, starting today, linked here.

It is ironic that the Greek, who undertook the manipulations that the EU/ECB now use as justification for the punitive measures they are combining with the IMF to infict upon that ex-sovereign nation, Lucas Papademos, has now been placed in charge of the country, perhaps as a reward for his services as head of the Bank of Greece and Vice President of the ECB, in delivering the country of his birth, helpless to the larger nations of the EU, to despoil and ravage in this way, whilst protecting their national banks from the consequences of their own blind stupidity and greed.
