As the media in Sweden discusses the damage done by the mass swine flu vaccine campaign in 2009, it is worth remembering that Greece was the first country to annouce mandatory swine flu jabs for all 12 million citizens .
“We decided that the entire population, all citizens and residents, without any exception, will be vaccinated against the flu,” Health Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos said after a ministerial meeting to Reuters in August 2009.

Is it a coincidence that Greece is also the first country to have been absorbed into the European Union superstate? After the latest agreement, 300 EU officials are to direct the activities of all Greek ministries, presumably also the army and police.
The Troika and Germany have announced another round of austerity measures for Greece while admitting that the austerity measures will send the country deeper into a debt death spiral. Unemployment and poverty is set to soar.
“Greece has already suffered among the worst losses of output from financial crises in the 20th and 21st centuries, says the CEPR. Even if the economy starts to recover, Greece will have lost 15.8pc of GDP since its peak.,” writes Louise Armitstead in The Telegraph.
But there is no end to the pain in sight. The budget cuts and tax hikes will continue for the profit of the banks and also to prevent a default from revealing to German tax payers that they are on the hook for almost a trillion euros if the Target 2 payments are included.
“Greece will be subject to increased external control and scrutiny in exchange for the bailout. Euro-zone finance ministers agreed that a task force by the European Commission will have an “enhanced and permanent” presence in Greece to ensure that the country implements a raft of painful reforms attached to the deal.
In addition, Greece undertook to transfer its debt servicing payments into a blocked account one quarter in advance. It also promised to enact legislation giving priority to debt servicing over other government spending within the next two months and to enshrine that principle in its constitution as soon as possible.,” writes the WSJ.

A new poll shows that 77 percent of the people in Greece agree with the notion that German policy aims to establish a “Fourth Reich.’’

Washington’s Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) has just published a note comprehensively kicking the Greek rescue plan – and the international leaders driving it. The note is called “More Pain, No Gain for Greece: Is the Euro Worth the Costs of Pro-Cyclical Fiscal Policy and Internal Devaluation?” but the authors’ answer is clear: Greece would be far better off defaulting and quitting the euro.
Unlike the troika’s messy efforts, the CEPR’s arguments are clear and compelling.
Greece has already suffered among the worst losses of output from financial crises in the 20th and 21st centuries, says the CEPR. Even if the economy starts to recover, Greece will have lost 15.8pc of GDP since its peak.
