And you John, like Yanis, are highlighting structural issues, the reasoning for his leaving as sadly, without the backing of his own countries parliament he couldn't address those issue. He actually details it all in the book mentioned in the video for anyone interested. And it was an interesting jibe by the Tory about Greece calling it a "bailout" when its not in the slightest. A bailout, was cancelling Germany's debt after WW2, as well as the funding on the back of the dollar. What Greece is actually getting, is debt, to pay off debt, to pay off more debt, at the cost of a very violent program that strips Greece of all means to actually pay it off! In Yanis's eloquent words, a fudge. Though I would prefer the words "illusion" or "distraction" which I dont say lightly as Greece, France, Spain, Italy all Euro using countries bar Germany (ironically) have had the same problems. But Greece is the only one to be treated this way, the others much lesser so with much nicer conditions.

The reason it's not being dealt with is because of, who's implicated in it, denying there is a problem (cognitive dissonance), failure of anyone to take ownership of the problems and that the problem is just to big and complex to deal with. It has nothing to do with the law, or needing new laws, but everything to do with the rule of law. These things always end badly, with both the ignorant and innocent fighting each other to the death, in wars they cannot understand, that do nothing but distract the people from the real cause and keep the bank accounts of the rich full and overflowing with blood money. That's the cycle and history has shown we do it over and over and over again, without learning a thing, is it little wonder they treat us like stupid cattle, eaters to be eaten?

Cameron and his buddies are making new arrangements for their money as we speak. I dont expect anything to change while the rich are in power.

Nekrassov made a brilliant point and it went completely over *everyones* head. Nekrassov said that Panama is controlled and owned by the CIA and everyone probably thought Nekrassov is nuts. Its too funny. The seemingly rhetorical question that Nekrassov asked, which was 'I dont know who goes to Panama and opens up an offshore account, its like going to Langley and asking them to please hold my money.' The answer is very simple, there are two kinds of people who go to Panama to open up an offshore account. People who want the CIA to protect their money in exchange for secrets and intel, and very stupid people who have more money than sense. The fact that Varoufakis had completely brushed aside what Nekrassov said should demonstrate that Varoufakis is bought by the CIA.
