Liars, Liars
Unbelievable: Last Friday, it was reported that Greece was threatening to quit the Euro Zone and there would be an emergency meeting. The Eurogroup Chairman flat-out told the media that there would be no meeting. And now, it looks like he simply lied. Why? To preserve the euro in the face of crisis. That is, to trick people into not dumping the Euro:
“We had certain necessities to consider. . . . We had Wall Street open at that point in time. . . There was a very good reason to deny that the meeting was taking place. . . . self-preservation.”
Link.
I found the story at Zero Hedge, who captures my outrage well:
At this point Europe no longer even attempts to hide that everything is one big lie, and that should the truth emerge the market will crash more than ever in history. And why would the US be any different? It woulnd't [sic] which is why we can now safely say that pretty much any information coming out from the government and its proxies that has a stock market impact is false until proven true. Of course, for everything else, one can blame the conspiratorial blogs...
That's it for today. I was running all over last night, attending to different kid functions.
