News Analysis: For decades complacent Greeks allowed their Politicians and Civil Servants to engage in ‘Economic Treason’; this by engaging in extensive bribery on Military Contracts in particular and Public Works Projects in General. One must ask: Who in the Greek Government reported their suspicions of corruption? Which Members of the Press investigated this obvious larceny? Which Political Party condemned the thievery? The “Then Complacent” Greeks cannot say today.
Several years of Extreme Austerity suffered by untainted Greek Citizens is now commencing to produce a reaction to the Financial Demands of Lending European Union Banks. The Greeks want repatriation of stolen funds and incarceration of the thieves; “Klepsia Einai Timoreitai” (Thievery is Punishable) they demand.
The Ill-Gotten Gains of these Traitors must be returned. The benefits of the thievery as enjoyed by the families of the thieves should be examined and if possible returned. America had it “Bernie Madoff Family” who allegedly enjoyed for DECADES the thievery gains of Bernie yet professed total ignorance of the crimes (Naturally). The various leaders of Greece since the 1960’s will also deny culpability.
The World will be closely looking at Greece and see if the Citizens have “Wised Up” to their few Arrogant Leaders or are they following a ‘Strouthokamilos tis Politikis” (Ostrich Policy) with their heads buried in the Sand. Kairos Tha Deixei.
