Venizelos mumbo jumboes that Pasok guarantees the stability of Greece's coalition government. Venizelos points out the government is only three-and-a-half months old and everyone's attention is focused on negotiations with Troika about the measures. Troika is mad as hell, and it cannot take it from piggish Graecokleptocrats anymore.
Troika walks grim-faced into its meetings with piggish Graecokleptocrats wearing funeral clothes! Troika is a doctor, who is looking over the tests of Graecokleptocrats, shaking its head, and Graecokleptocrats wondering if they are going to live or die. Troika knows what's going on in Greece, because it reads
the venitism blogspot every day.
Troika rushes in and out of ministers' offices with heads down, clutching files and avoiding reporters. Troika reviews a track record of two years of broken promises to international lenders, who have pledged a quarter of a trillion euros to pull Greece back from the brink of bankruptcy.
The coalition government of Samaras and Venizelos, Laurel and Hardy of Greek politics, is racing against the clock to come up with cuts and reforms. Laurel and Hardy have fallen quite badly behind, due to the election campaign and they are trying very hard to put the train back on track. Troika's main task is to see how Laurel and Hardy could get restarted.
Troika is angry and fed up. Greece would not get any money unless it showed some progress. Among a long list of failures, Laurel and Hardy have not completed any substantial privatizations and is behind on tax reform, restructuring the public sector and properly opening up markets and professions.
Laurel and Hardy blame their failure on a deeper than expected recession and want two more years to catch up. Troika says huge political corruption and half-hearted reforms are to blame for holding the economy back. The lenders are demanding abolition of Graecokleptocracy and Trojan Horses. Troika has made it clear to Laurel and Hardy that they should forget about renegotiating the 130 billion euro bailout plan; instead, they should prove their credibility first.
Venizelos hoodwinks that Pasok serves as a guarantor for a greater strategy! Should this come off and pay off, then he will begin to feel vindicated. Venizelos, who served as finance minister in the George Papandreou administration, might be the last president of the dying Pasok. A VPRC poll last week ranked Pasok last at sixth place with a scant 5.5 percent support. Pasok used to be the first party with a 42% support.
Greece has all the right conditions for corruption: plenty of bureaucracy, no functioning justice system, laws with numerous loopholes, and economic pressure. Regarding bribes and robbing the Greek Treasury, Premier Andreas Papandreou famously advised Pasokleptocrats: We all agree, of course, that we are allowed to give ourselves a little present from time to time, but please don't make it too large!
Many Pasok politicians, such as Akis Tsochatzopoulos, Yannos Papantoniou, Tasos Mantelis, Christos Verelis, and Mariliza Xenoyiannakopoulou, are now investigated by the Financial Crimes Squad (SDOE). The stupidity, corruption, and freak of rotten Pasok, the most infamous political mafia on Earth, are out
of this world! Pasok mafiosi are the freaks that initiated the impunity and immunity of Graecokleptocrats, the Siemens scandal, the military bribes, myriad kickbacks, and the fiasco of October 18, 2010, which destroyed my life. Pasok freaks stole my life. Pasok declared a war against me, but the whole world is
watching this Armageddon.
Pasok is a socialist mafia, a den of thieves, member of the Socialist International, the Party of European Socialists, and the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. Pasokleptocrats span the gamut of political corruption. Bribe is the gift bestowed to influence the recipient's conduct. Kickback is a payment to a person in a position of power or influence for having made an income possible. Embezzlement is outright theft of entrusted funds. Patronage is favoring supporters. Nepotism is favoring kin. Cronyism is favoring kith. Graft is an unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain. The freakish government of Pasok stole my life!
During Andreas Papandreou's leadership, wages were substantially boosted and income was heavily taxed. At the very beginning, the members and the leadership of the mafia were very critical of NATO and the European Economic Community, but this attitude was soon abandoned when they realized they could make more kickbacks and bribes. Andreas Papandreou and Akis Tsochatzopoulos wished to
create a socialistic world where kleptocrats would dominate.
Tsochatzopoulos, a distinguished leader and cofounder of Pasok, served in cabinets between 1981 and 2004. He was elected to the Greek Parliament for the first time in 1981 and remained in seat until 2007. He was the second most important person of Pasok, the crown prince of Pasok, but fate was not nice to
him, ending up in prison for what all Pasokleptocrats did anyhow, political corruption beyond imagination! But while the other Pasokleptocrats knew how to cover their ass, Tsochatzopoulos lived like a king, inviting scrutiny and jealousy.
After Andreas Papandreou's death, Costas Simitis defeated Tsochatzopoulos, and he was elected President of Pasok. Simitis moved to modernize the mafia, making it purely social democratic. Tight fiscal policies, privatization of state enterprises, and a broadening of the tax base were implemented. But due to huge political corruption, Pasok was defeated at the polls in the election of 2004. The Nea Democratia policies adopted by the new government, forced Pasok to turn left under the leadership of George Papandreou. Five years later, the Party triumphed in the 2009 elections.
After the 2009 electoral sweep, there were many revelations of huge political corruption. Moreover, the deficit that had run up in the years leading to 2010 was of an enormous unmanageable scope. Greece was faced with imminent bankruptcy, and the government received emergency funds from IMF and ECB. In exchange for further loans, Fourth Reich required austerity policies.
The rotten Pasok government was the #1 enemy of the Greek people! Pasokleptocrats did myriad stupid things. The freakish Pasok government of Greece in 2010 was so stupid that it hoodwinked all media that I conspired to trigger a war between Greece and Turkey and blame Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, for it!
Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Pasokleptocrats manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn incited hatred and violence. The government of Greece gave my head on plate to Erdogan. Brutal Pasokleptocrats destroyed my life. My life is stolen. Now I demand my life back!
In Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich, trains run completely empty to nowhere! Many trains bought from Germany do not fit the rails, but they were bought just to generate bribes! In 2009, investigators of the Munich Prosecution Department uncovered a corruption affair, in which MAN has given huge bribes to Greek politicians to get large orders for overpriced trolleys. A streetcar named desire! These trolleys with huge markups are named bribes! But Greek prosecutors have started investigating this scandal just in September of 2012! Many Pasok politicians, such as Christos Verelis and Mariliza Xenoyiannakopoulou, are now investigated by the Financial Crimes Squad (SDOE).
Pasok's transformation from of its original socialistic principles to kleptocratic principles disenchanted many Party members. The social disruption flowing from revelations of huge political corruption sparked major demonstrations against the government. In the May 2012 elections that followed, the Party placed third. Recent polls place Pasok fifth. For all practical purposes, Pasok is now dead. History will record it as a den of thieves.
Piggish Pasokleptocrats chose former Defense Minister Akis Tsochatzopoulos of Pasok as a scapegoat for their sins, because his living style corresponds to the Royal House of Saudi Arabia. This way, they hope Greeks could cool down and forget about the myriad briberies and scandals of Pasokleptocrats. Obviously, Pasokleptocrats undervalue the intelligence of Greeks. Greeks know very well, there is no just a single culprit, but at least four hundred culprits who stole billions of euros, safely deposited in their offshore accounts.
Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos is a hostile social-psychological discrediting routine by which Pasokleptocrats move blame and responsibility away from themselves and towards Tsochatzopoulos. It is also a practice by which angry feelings and feelings of hostility are projected, via accusation, towards
Tsochatzopoulos. Tsochatzopoulos feels singly persecuted and receives vilification, blame and criticism, even though four hundred Graecokleptocrats did similar things. Tsochatzopoulos suffers rejection from Greeks who Pasokleptocrats seek to influence.
In scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos, feelings of guilt, aggression, blame and suffering are transferred away from Pasokleptocrats so as to fulfill an unconscious drive to resolve or avoid such bad feelings. This is done by the displacement of responsibility and blame to Tsochatzopoulos who serves as a
target for blame both for Pasokleptocrats and Greeks.
The Pasokleptocrats' drive to displace and transfer responsibility away from themselves may not be experienced with full consciousness as self-deception is a feature. Tsochatzopoulos experiences exclusion, ostracism, and expulsion. Scapegoating frees Pasokleptocrats from some self-dissatisfaction and provides some narcissistic gratification to them. It enables the self-righteous discharge
of aggression.
Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos also can be seen as the Pasokleptocrats' defense mechanism against unacceptable emotions such as hostility and guilt. Scapegoating Tsochatzopoulos is an example of projective identification, with the primitive intent of splitting, separating the good from the bad.
Pasokleptocrats are also insecure people driven to raise their own status by lowering the status of Tsochatzopoulos. Smart words are more effective than smart bombs! Mighty words of a charismatic
keynote speaker can transform your people to a new dimension of organizational climate, efficiency, self-actualization, enthusiasm, belonging, and motivation.
