Cast Out The Money-Changers.

According to the Gospels in the Bible, Jesus only got angry once.He got angry as the Greeks are angry now, and for similar reasons.More of that later.

The people who voted on 6.5.2012 in the Greek elections made it blindingly clear that they reject the over the top austerity measures.

George Papandreou has now got his referendum;the suggested referendum that annoyed the I.M.F.and the E.U. so much.

The people have spoken, but no one seems to have heard them.
So what happens?

A game of musical chairs starts that has no bearing on what the Greeks want or voted for.
What is the President's role here?Surely he should have intervened and simply put in the anti-austerity members in Parliament?

The musical chairs game is played in a desperate bid to give those vastly superior beings than us mere normal people,time to work out how to put in Parliament, only those who agreed to the most savage austerity programme  ever introduced in any country  in the World in peacetime.

I can just imagine the frantic telephone calls bouncing between the money worshipers here and those in the Tower of Babel in Europe.

If the anti-austerity parties are not allowed to govern Greece,it proves,beyond any shadow of doubt, that Democracy (oh, that word is always trotted out,followed by ,how lucky we are to live in one) is dead and rotting in the ballot boxes.

I Know all that rubbish about numbers; how the maths doesn't add up,and how it would be impossible for such parties to get enough seats,or whatever other hogwash we are told.
Desperate times need desperate solutions.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
The trouble is that there is no will whatsoever to allow such anti-bail out  figures to enter the sacred site of Parliament.

"If only we had another few weeks,maybe we can turn the tide".Is this what was being said earlier in the week.?Maybe another election will solve the problem.

Then we would be bombarded from all angles on how foolish it is to reject a life of misery,and how we should keep the bankers rich,and how we have to make sacrifices while the Politicians and the bankers won't.And it is, of course, all for our own good.
 Yes, for our own good to have 10 years of fewer jobs,less service, crumbling health care,crippling taxes, lower pensions,lower wages,no workers rights, rising crime,more sickness, suicides, and the list goes on and on.

It's laughable in a sick way.
Who but a fool or a banker or the super rich, would want that.

The arrogance of those who hold power is astonishing.The peoples wishes mean zilch.Only the Elite are allowed to carry their plans through;any sniff of opposition is crushed in any way possible.

Today though, things have changed, as the latest opinion poll  claims that the most popular anti-austerity party would win any elections next month.So the powers that be are in a frantic rush to form a government now that supports the old, dead deal.
It is a true Greek drama.
Two thousand years ago Jesus had a similar drama.

The only time that Jesus got angry was, according to Mathew 21.12.,when he saw the money changers in the Temple.He over turned their tables and cast out the money changers,as he cast out demons from people.

Most Greeks believe in Christ and believe His life should be an example for us.all.

It is so good to see the Greek people following Christ's example.
