Renowned Eurosceptic and British Euro MP Nigel Farage says saving the banks is why politicians are so determined to bail out Greece and keep it in the Eurozone.

He is correct

Here is another report: [Link]. I don't know how reliable the author Wayne Madsen is, but let's just look at what he predicts will be done to Greece and see if that happens. His report, in part, goes as follows (quoted text is between the triple asterisks):

* * *

"The European and global bankers have demanded that the Greek government sell off entirely or assume a minority stake in a number of state enterprises and utilities.

"For example, this year global capitalists are slated to acquire 84 percent of OTE, the Greek telecommunications provider. In addition, private bankers will assume 66 percent ownership of the Greek Postal Savings Bank; 51 percent of the National Lottery; 60 percent of the Salonika Water Authority; 68 percent of DEPA, the natural gas utility; and 25 percent ownership of the ports of Piraeus and Salonika.

"Next year, the capitalist grab for public property increases in intensity with Athens International Airport coming under 79 percent private ownership. The global capitalists will also obtain 100 percent ownership of the Egniata toll motorway; 60 percent of Hellenic Post; 66 percent of OPAP, the state-run video-lotto and online sports betting firm; 73 percent of the Athens Water Authority; 83 percent of DEI, the Greek Electric Authority; and 51 percent of the Greek Regional Airports Authority."

Now, Greece is a basket case. The Greek government has been so corrupt for so long that the situation in the country is irredeemable. Almost no one in Greece pays their full taxes, not corporations nor the wealthy nor even the middle classes - tax evasion is the rule not the exception. So of course the government is broke and spending money it doesn't have to prop up bloated bureaucracies and out of control social spending on pensions, entitlements and subsidies of all kinds. So something must be done, but what the banksters plan to do is, effectively, to foreclose on the assets of the entire country!

That can't be right. Greece needs to leave the euro and go back to its own currency, the drachma. Let the European dominoes tumble, and they will as Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland leave the euro too.

The EU power grab by the private banking cartel must be rejected by its victims, the people of the so far still sovereign nations of Europe.
