THE GREEK DEFAULT / THE EUROPEAN UNION A beautiful dream imposed by force

The mind-numbing argument against the organization of the Referendum in Greece, invokes the fact that people are not familiar with the subtle technique of finance and of the banking system, an argument which naturally originates from the European authorities and which we have of course seen used in the international press, for it to be then reproduced by Romanian journalists as well.

The argument states that, in the issue raised by the Referendum - accepting or rejecting the conditions to continue lending to Greece - the competent decision should be made by the specialists and the Government, rather than the unqualified crowd.

What is amazing about this argument is that, beneath its plausibility, it takes the people's interest in its own destiny off the pedestal of decision criteria, handing it over to the more competent banking and financial experts and to the political authorities.

Finance and banking does not only involve schooling and study, but also intense exercise, the heavy exertion of the mind, as well as strenuous efforts, research and intuition - they are the most sophisticated practical activities, because the money that they play with exceeds at least seven times the global value of the output and services, thus meaning that they can and deserve to finance their development.

The distance between an average banker/financier and a regular citizen when it comes to the skill in handling money is comparable to the cultural distance between any inquisitors in the Middle Ages and any serf.

It is that same distance which breeds their contempt, justified by the fact that any citizen that has opted to raise chickens, or make plastic buttons, or act as a guardian, or is simply an employee in a barbershop or in a clothing store, or in a public institution, to say nothing of those that have become unemployed, or ended up sleeping in the bushes in a park have one thing in common: they have all made the wrong choice, they should have just gone into banking.

People in finance-banking see themselves as The Alfa and the Omega of the world, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

When looking at it like that, it is right for the financiers and bankers to rule the world and that is precisely what they do, by subordinating governments (of course, all governments are indebted to banks).

From that same point of view, the Greek government, which hesitates to submit to the terms of their foreign creditors, is immoral, especially since all of the previous governments have agreed to the creditors' terms so they could get their money, and behold, the ducking after the Referendum only started happening once the debt came due.

This whole phenomenology leads us, step by step, to this mind-blowing argument against the Referendum, just like the ancient School of Megara proves that by gathering grains one by one, one wouldn't even realize when they've built up a pile of wheat.

The opposition of the European authorities against the Referendum is a huge pile of wheat, that has unexpectedly appeared before our eyes.

The European Union was born out of a common dream of peace, democracy, freedom and prosperity.

Now, when the dream has become an institution, the democracy of the Referendum has become undesirable and immoral.

The European Union wants to replace the will of the people with that of the banking and financial inquisitors, for debtors to be burned alive eventually.

The European Union wants to impose technocracy over democracy, to force itself upon people, unequivocally revealing who it serves today.

Another hijacked dream.
