CIA Warns Of A Greek Military Coup, Rebellion, If Austerity Intensifies

From Zero Hedge:

Turkish daily Hurriyet, which paraphrases German Bild, which in turn references a CIA report, warns that Greece could face a military coup if the "tough austerity measures and the dire situation" escalate any further. On the other hand, one can avoid this belabored hypertextual chain and simply look at what happens practically every day on Syntagma square where yet again we are witnessing record numbers of people protest against what everyone now realizes is a dead end regime (luckily, in a peaceful manner, for now).

More Captain Obviousness (thank you Grant Williams) from Hurriyet: "According to the CIA report, ongoing street protests in crisis-hit Greece could turn into escalated violence and a rebellion and the Greek government could lose control, said Bild. The newspaper said the CIA report talks of a possible military coup if the situation becomes more serious and uncontrolled." Luckily, following last year's Athens mob-inspired flash crash, and 2011's MENA revolutions, the market is rather desensitized to this sort of thing, and nothing short of fat-finger driven invasion of Greece by Turkey, in its humanitarian bid to reestablish the Ottoman Empire 2.0, could dent the /ES or EURUSD by more than 0.01%.......read on

  1. Nice skirts and they are not "dressed like women," in case any viewer is confused, pants came about because of horseback riding. Rome threw out men in pants in AD 393, and women could not wear pants until factory work in World War II broke the back of social resistance to it. Social forces have caused clothing behavior and the trouser/skirt division of the sexes is illusory. Ask any Fijian cop in his skirt.
