Rioters Turn Athens Greece Into A War Zone, Banks And Finance Ministry Set On Fire After Banker Bailout Passes.

Just moments after Greek politicians sold out the 80% majority opposed to the banker bailout and passed draconian austerity measures, rioters in Athens responded by turning Greece into a war zone, setting banks, cars, and the Finance Ministry on fire.

As Tyler Durden reports, things are heating up in Greece, literally. Earlier today a firebomb at a Marfin branch killed three people!

Then, almost immediately after the politicians were blackmailed into passing the banker bailout, the Finance Ministry was set on fire.

That has been followed by a series of buildings, cars and banks.

Market news reports:

ATHENS (MNI) – A building belonging to Greece’s Finance Ministry was set afire Wednesday by rioters protesting the stringent four-year austerity plan the Greek government has agreed to accept in exchange for up to E110 billion in aid from fellow Eurozone countries and theInternational Monetary Fund.

The Finance Ministry issued a statement Wednesday night saying that no crucial documents had been lost, though the damage to the building was extensive.

The fire came on a day when a general strike against the government’s new fiscal plan erupted into violence, leaving three dead and tens of others wounded. In Athens, protesters gathered around the Parliament while some groups threw fire bombs at buildings, cars and banks. The police answered with tear gas and arrests.

You can watch the riots live here.

Stunning photos of the riots fires throughout Greece PRIOR to the passage of the banker bailout are here.

Of course the bankers are literally laughing as Athens burns and Wall Street investors are licking their chops as the stock markets soar.

Bailing them out only means more people will lose more money later on. Talk about making a bigger mess.

At the speed this is going I'd give this thing three years tops.

They need to get to that Parliament building somehow.

Member Of Greek Parliament Assaulted By Angry Mob For Flip-Flopping On Austerity Vote (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/member-greek-parliament-assaulted-flip-flopping-austerity-vote)



When two weeks ago we wrote about (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/greek-ruling-party-members-rebel-another-mp-vote-against-bailout-so-he-can-safely-walk-stree)a (short-lived) mutiny within Pasok, we noted the name of one Aleksos Athanasiadis, who had decided (briefly) to vote with his conscience and against his ruling party (and proxy for European banking interests) against the austerity measures. Another mutineer MP we cited, was Giorgos Lianis, who had declared his intention to leave politics in order to be able to safely "walk the streets" and not vote for the austerity. He stuck to his word. As was discovered yesterday, Athanasiadis subsequently recanted and backtracked on his promise to vote with the people. Alas, he should have listened to his buddy Lianis. As Reuters reports, Athanasiadis was attacked shortly following the austerity vote which, among other things, passed with his blessing. Ironically, he was walking the street. This time he got away. But something tells us Greeks never forget. And the one thing they hate more than being a slave to the central banking cartel, is being a slave to the central banking cartel and a traitor.

From Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/29/greece-mp-idUSLDE75S0XY20110629):
Greek protesters hurled projectiles at a ruling party lawmaker outside parliament on Wednesday after he backtracked and voted in favour of austerity measures.

A group of around 20 demonstrators threw bottles and a chair at PASOK deputy Alexandros Athanasiadis as he was escorted by five policemen after leaving the parliament building following a vote which approved the unpopular austerity law.

TV images showed him holding his ear but police sources said he was not injured in the attack.
Indicatively, back in America, this guy would become a career politician for life courtesy of an idiot electorate.

So what happens when they take it to the politicians? The vast majority are living on the teat. So they dump the gov and burn the banks, I don't think that the underlying problem of being a leach is going to change overnight. Sadly, the same is identical everywhere else for the most part.

No matter what it is going to be a lose lose outcome.

If they burn Parliament & anywhere it might meet, they can't pass laws.

A Greek default is not an "if" but "when."

What do the Greeks want? Something for nothing?

Greece should have never been let into the EU to begin with.

[Half Sense]

At least if they default then whatever lazy efforts they make can be for their own prosperity and not as debt slaves for banksters. That makes all the difference in the world. They may even discover they like working if they get to keep their wages.

Russia today is saying the gov used asphyxiating agents other than tear gas, on the mob. It has since dispersed.
