Greek Police Threaten IMF Arrests Due To “Austerity Demands”!
- Exciting times over in Greece! But way too much excitement. The kettle may just boil over in the next few weeks and all hell break loose. I am very happy that the Greek police are standing on the side of the Greek public against Illuminist banksters. All the bailout talks are just BS. It is all about bailing out the banksters while forcing the bill down the Greek sheeple’s throat. Why should the Greeks or for that matter anyone accept this nonsense? Greece should just default and tell the banksters to goto hell.

Greek Police Threaten IMF Arrests Due To “Austerity Demands”!
by Tyler Durden, http://www.zerohedge.com/
As the headlines from Europe become more and more realistic (and ironically more and more Onion-worthy), Reuters notes one of the more interesting examples of just how the Greek people are feeling. The Federation of Greek Police have accused EU/IMF officials, in a formal letter, of “…blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty”. While violence erupts among the largely unemployed youth, the supposedly ‘grown-up and responsible’ segment of the Greek society, which for now at least appears not to be on strike, is recognizing the wholesale destruction of their society (as 22% cuts in minimum wage for instance are thrust upon them). The Greek police, who have stood against the protesters and done their jobs facing threats and anger, are seemingly expressing solidarity with the antagonists as they call out ECB, European Commission, and IMF leaders for their destructive policies. At what point do the police throw down their riot shields and follow the Greek people into their ‘Bastille’?

Reuters: Greek Police Union Wants To Arrest EU/IMF Officials
Feb 10 (Reuters) – Greece’s largest police union has threatened to issue arrest warrants for officials from the country’s European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders for demanding deeply unpopular austerity measures.
–
In a letter obtained by Reuters on Friday, the Federation of Greek Police accused the officials of “…blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty” and said one target of its warrants would be the IMF’s top official for Greece, Poul Thomsen.
–
The threat is largely symbolic since legal experts say a judge must first authorize such warrants, but it shows the depth of anger against foreign lenders who have demanded drastic wage and pension cuts in exchange for funds to keep Greece afloat.

“Since you are continuing this destructive policy, we warn you that you cannot make us fight against our brothers. We refuse to stand against our parents, our brothers, our children or any citizen who protests and demands a change of policy,” said the union, which represents more than two-thirds of Greek policemen.

“We warn you that as legal representatives of Greek policemen, we will issue arrest warrants for a series of legal violations … such as blackmail, covertly abolishing or eroding democracy and national sovereignty.”
