Today marks the great Greek Independence Day. It celebrates the Greeks overcoming four centuries of Ottoman rule, they fought back and took their own country into their own control. It marks a proud and special moment in time. However, it with sadness the Greeks celebrate this day. Truthfully they have little to celebrate. Their heads are hung low. Greece is not an independent nation, it is now a small dog who has a large master called the EU. This master is being cruel to Greece. He holds back food and water, he doesn't take Greece out for walks, he shades poor Greece from any sunlight so the sun has no warmth. Greece is being treated disrespectfully by the EU and by it's own politicians. Greece wants to be free again but they are not allowing it. So Greece holds its head low, scavenging any tit bits it can find. Knowing as time goes on it will get more discontent, it will lose more weight and no longer have control of anything at all. It wants it's own freedom back. It wants to see the light again and to feel warm. Things are bad.
In Athens today the authorities have decided to removed oranges from the trees. As the politicians show their faces at the celebration, the people are down in heart. They removed the oranges just in case they were used as projectiles and pelted at the so called democratic politicians. Politicians who no longer hear what the people want to say. With one voice they are saying it but nothing is being done. They are saying bring back the Drachma and dump the Euro. As time passes by it is the EU now which runs Greece. They have no imagination, they just want to stifle growth, but growth can only come if there is incentive, desire, recognition and most importantly independence. If Greek politicians carry on down this route there will be only one foreseeable outcome. Rioting. Bigger crowds, louder crowds, full blown rioting as the people feel impotent against the austerity they have now to suffer.
Listen politicians, the default must happen or you will starve to death your own people. Hear what they have to say and stop being the chastised starving dog the EU is making of your country. Become independent again and break the mould. There is nothing to lose, just do it.
