Greece is just a flu, the cancer is elsewhere

You'll get one guess for that, and no prize.

Le Monde (non-) Diplomatique is one of the gang of media folks now, FINALLY
seeing that Greece is a sideshow (like Max Keiser).
The big issue is
"if you can't save a sh*tbox economy like Greece, there's something wrong"

So Le Monde said (I haven't found the story yet) that the world is worrying about a cold (GR)
when it's being attacked by a cancer.

I don't know if it names the cancer, but it's the banks. Du-uh

In this clip, the Prof says that Euro-aid is a back-door bank bailout.

So, the bailout is a suppository for the banksters.
xD AhhAhahHAhAHAAHHAhAhahahAh

Well, up yours', banksters.
Can I push up your stool?

In a related story:

Allergic reactions may save people from cancer
Here's what they say (Telegraph or Tmes, I think):
"Allergies can fight cancer- allergic reactions caused by contact could ward off cancer by triggering immune system defences, a new study has found. The allergies , known as contact allergies which are triggered by substances such as chemicals, may prime the immune system to react against certain types of cancer. The findings from a study of almost 17000 danish adults confirm a theory that those with allergies have super responsive immune systems and are therefore less likely to develop cancer."

If the cancer is the monetary/financial system:
Well, I'm allergic to going into debt, and allergic to giving my money to big corporations
and government. I'd rather barter and trade.

Am I gonna be okay, doc?

More awesome medical metaphors, from george washington's blog [on zerohedge]:
Michael Hudson,
You can think of the financial sector as being wrapped around the real economy, almost like a parasite, and that's why it's been called parasitic for so long. The financial sector extracts interest from the economy, the property sector extracts economic rent, as do monopolies. Now the key thing about parasites, is that it's not simply that they extract nourishment from the host. The parasite takes over the
host's brain, to make it think it's part of the economy, to make it think
it's part of the host's own body, and, in fact, that's it almost like a child of the host, to be protected. And that's what the financial sector has done today.

You have Obama coming out and saying, "We have to save the banks in order to save the real economy". The fact is, you can't serve both the parasite and the host.

....On August 10th, Hudson went even further. Specifically, he said:

* The giant financial institutions have already killed their host - the real American economy

* Since they realize that the American economy is dead, they are trying to suck as much blood out of America as possible while the corpse is still warm

* Because the American economy is dead, their plan is to soon jump to another host. They will ship all of their money overseas
