From Greg Palast’s investigative reports for Greek and US news
Trojan Hearse: Greek Elections and the Euro Leper Colony
Europe is stunned, and bankers aghast, that the new party of the Left, Syriza, won Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Greece.
Syriza won on the promise that it will cure Greece of leprosy.
Euro Krieg! Greece Surrenders to Germany 2013 Greg Palast Interviewed by Greek Radio
“To me, Greece is a crime scene,” said Palast. “Greece is dying, and austerity is one of the things that killed it.” He rebuked the recent proclamations made by Greek and EU officials deeming Greece an economic “success story,” describing them as “nonsense.”
Lazy Ouzo-Swilling, Olive-Pit Spitting Greeks – Or, How Goldman Sacked Greece
Here’s what we’re told: Greece’s economy blew apart because a bunch of olive-spitting, ouzo-guzzling, lazy-ass Greeks refuse to put in a full day’s work, retire while they’re still teenagers, pocket pensions fit for a pasha; and they’ve gone on a social-services spending spree using borrowed money. Now that the bill has come due and the Greeks have to pay with higher taxes and cuts in their big fat welfare state, they run riot, screaming in the streets, busting windows and burning banks.

My Big Fat Greek Minister

The Golden Dawn Murder Case – Larry Summers and the New Fascism
On September 18, hip-hop artist Pavlos Fyssas, a.k.a. Killah P, was stabbed outside a bar in Keratsini, Greece. Larry Summers has an air-tight alibi. But I don’t believe it.
Vultures’ Picnic – Chapter One: Goldfinger
Two weeks after the Deepwater Horizon caught fire and sank, Greece caught fire and sank. On May 5, 2010, I open up the Journal and I could puke. There was this photo of a man on fire, just a bunch of flames with a leg sticking out. Two others burnt with him on a pretty spring day in Athens.
The question is, Who did it?
