    Estes nomes gregos são difíceis de digerir mesmo para os que têm estômago para as más digestões.

    À uns anos estive num workshop em que se falou da epifania do óbvio.
    O que se está a passar na UE é exactamente isso.
    O Syriza não passa de uma experiência de laboratório que irá ser relatada num rodapé da História.
    A sua aventura falhada terá réplicas em vários partidos europeus (nomeadamente PS).
    O seu fim é indeterminado, e a Europa voltará a ser a mesma.
    Uma coisa é certa. Varufakis vai passar a cobrar fortunas pelas suas palestras e os gregos já estão piores (e ficarão)

    Outros entre os vários narradores da coisa:
    .
    ..
    “Deputy Finance Minister Dimistis Mardas said:
    .
    “According to our calculations, the debt linked to German reparations is 278.7 billion euros, including 10.3 billion euros for the so-called forced loan.”
    .
    “All the other amounts are related to allowances for individuals or infrastructure.”
    .
    The statement came ahead of Tsipras’ Wednesday meeting with Putin.
    .
    Raising the issue of war reparations from 70 years ago will likely strain already less than cordial Athens/Berlin relations. Germany denies it owes anything.
    .
    Both countries are involved in renegotiating Greece’s $270 billion euro debt.
    .
    .
    Tsipras and Putin will likely discuss include:
    .
    -financial aid free from loan shark of last resort troika terms;

    -lower natural gas prices;

    -closer energy ties overall;

    -lifting sanctions on Greek exports to Russia – mainly agricultural ones;

    -increased trade; and

    closer political and economic ties.
    .
    According to Syriza MP Thanasis Petrakos, Greece intends to deepen (its) relationship with Russia in the energy sector and thereby hope to gain a significant advantage.”
    .
    Tsipras called sanctions “a road to nowhere.” He hopes to strengthen Greek/Russian bilateral relations.
    .
    .
    He wants a new European security architecture to include Russia. He recognizes the challenge he faces dealing with Greece’s enormous economic and financial burdens.
    .
    .
    He intends honoring his odious IMF/EU debt obligations instead of renouncing them and walking away.
    .
    He’ll continue paying bankers first, maintain austerity, and provide little or no relief for long suffering Greek people.
    .
    Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said Greece “intends to meet all obligations to all its creditors ad infinitum.”
    .
    Making a 450 million euro IMF payment looms – nine billion euros overall this year plus other repayments.
    .
    .
    The more Greece borrows, the greater its debt burden. The less it’s able to service it.
    .
    Debt too great to be repaid won’t be. Noted investor Jim Rogers said Greek debt is so huge it’ll “never ever” be paid off.
    .
    .
    It’s “impossible.” If Athens can’t get financial help in Russia (or enough of it), China might be its best bet, Rogers explained.
    .
    It’s “got more money than anybody…than all of us put together,” he said.
    .
    European Parliament President Martin Schulz warned Greece not to jeopardize its EU relationship by seeking Russian financial aid.
    .
    .
    Troika power wants Greece debt entrapped in perpetuity. It wants ordinary Greeks deprived of essentials to life to pay bankers first.
    .
    It wants all long-suffering Europeans treated the same way. So far Tsipras has been very obliging. He surrendered to Troika demands.
    .
    His campaign promises proved hollow. How long Greeks intend putting up with his betrayal remains to be seen.”

    Complementando apenas um pouco melhor a coisa porque mais e melhor não vale a pena,

    Bernanke: Germany is the Problem
    .
    “In his third blog post in a week for Washington-based think tank Brookings Institution, Bernanke criticized Germany last Friday for not working to reduce its trade surplus, which could be hurting its neighbors, he said. Ahead of the spring’s international economic G-20 summit, Bernanke laid down recommendations for what Germany could do on its part to alleviate deep recession in the eurozone.”
    .
    “According to Bernanke, there are three main reasons why Germany has such a large trade surplus, that has even exceeded China’s”
    .
    “Sure, Germany produces high quality goods, with a lot of demand, but the main explanation for the surplus is that the euro is weak. The currency Germany shares with 18 other countries is too weak to be consistent with German trade”
    .
    “Last July, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated that Germany’s inflation-adjusted exchange rate was undervalued by 5 to 15 percent. And the euro has only grown weaker since.
    .
    “The comparatively weak euro is an underappreciated benefit to Germany of its participation in the currency union,” wrote Bernanke”
    .
    “Bernanke argued that Germany’s trade surplus is actually hurting its neighbors who are battling high unemployment and are in perilous fiscal situations where they cannot raise spending or cut taxes to stimulate domestic demand”

    reduzindo o angulo de visão edos binoculos para mais perto mas mais longe, esta é mesmo para provocar, incendiar na estira de reacender esta pasmaceira de Santos Bentos até anafados bodes embora respeitando os nadas de tais fantasias, fés, ou seja lá o que forem, bora aos “comflitos” academicos, elitistas e demais nomes sonantes da treta,

    – Big Oil’s sleazy Africa secrets: How companies and super-rich exploit natural resources
    African oil attracts global network of traders, bankers and investors who combine with venal local political cabals

    Since the end of the civil war in 2002 this nation of 20 million people has notched up some of the fastest rates of economic growth recorded anywhere, at times even outstripping China.
    .
    “…..but the seventh was a company called Grupo Aquattro Internacional. Aquattro’s own registration documents do not name its own shareholders.”
    .
    “….. oil production almost tripled, approaching 2 million barrels a day—more than one in every fifty barrels pumped worldwide.”
    .
    “Sonangol awarded itself stakes in oil ventures operated by foreign companies and used the revenues to push its tentacles into every corner of the domestic economy: property, health care, banking, aviation. It even has a professional football team.”
    ..
    “In 2011 Sonangol’s $34 billion in revenues rivaled those of Amazon and Coca-Cola.”

    Apesar disto, da informação que surge,
    .
    Angola é o País Africano com o maior esforço de modernização social, infra-estruturas, economia, cultural, musical etc de toda a Africa; a anos luz do contexto das elites tradicionais tribalistas e politico-cultural-africano de Lumunbas, Kadafis, Idi Amins, Somalis, Iemenistas etc & Cª Lda,
    .
    algumas até dizem que canibalistas no verdadeiro significado da palavra;
    .
    .
    pode ser falha minha, mas da informação que surge não encontrei nada em contrario sobre esta diferença africana dos Angolanos relativamente ao mais do mesmo praticamente do resto de toda a Africa.
    .
    Ainda não está estudado suficientemente se afinal este portento civilizacional contra a ‘cubata e a tribo’ não foi a poderosa herança civilizacinal portuguesa que lá semeámos,
    .
    é que outros de herança civilizacional anglofona, francofona ou boche também têm petroleo, minerais a pontapé, diamantes, ouro etc e ‘no pasa nada’

    .
    .
    Se sobre acima morre contestação então está tudo bem por cá das bases formais aos topos formais. Nada a discutir, nada a ousar, nada a mudar,
    .
    nada a reacender; Portugal está bem como nunca esteve. Não vale sequer a pena perder tempo ou dar alguma coisa para resolver alguma coisa em Oposição ou Situação. Por ora tudo numa boa, nem se percebendo afinal revoltados ou contra o quê.
    .
    Neste momento, 70% de abstenções nas eleições segundo o barometro eleitoral. Mas votarei embora com duvidas se voltarei ao voto anterior.
    .
    E não se esqueçam ‘follow the money’ que é o que qualquer comum mortal de cá leva quando vestir o sobretudo de madeira.
