YOU ARE PLAYING US TOO CLOSE...



Jobless people starving babies spreading over the land
More oppression to the have nots is how you play your hand
More world fighting is the writing from those say they know
And if that's true we know just who you'll be picking to go
But the beat you are playing to what Jah is saying is wrong
And we do recommend that you stop before it's too far gone
And I just got to say You're playing us too close
We in the ghettos You're playing us too close
The jobless and the hungry You're playing us too close
Filling up more and more with Frustration
You're playing us too close We're losing our patience
So take heed and do let it be known that I've told you today
You're playing us much too close yea
All the teaching of JAH bible you don't want to obey
But you're writing your own ticket to the price you will pay
Us you hold hock but the drawback is not to us alone
Time will make you too a victim before you see the wrong
And the melody that you are playing is in the wrong key
For Jah's choirs that sings out to all live in world harmony
And I just got to say You're playing us too close
We in the ghettos You're playing us too close
Red black white brown and yellow poor people You're playing us too close
The babies are crying You're playing us too close
Good people are dying So take heed and do let it be known that
I've told you today Jah say you're playing us much too close
Now when I was just a little boy my grandfather
use to say to me, "Brother B, trust no shadow
after dark... "It's not till I grew to be a man that
I understand what the old brother was talking
about. You see some people take the liberty to
treat you any way they want to, they feel
some times that you don't have no dignity. 
But brother fire de ah mus mus tail him think ah
cool breeze, better watch out easy squeeze makes no riot my brethren
You're playing us much too close, so why the
Don't you people out there all get up off your
backsides and do something for the worlds for every living boy, woman, man and girl. 
There'shungry people all over starving, have no place
to lay their heads Huh Don't play us so close
Don't play us so close Don't play us so close

Some a dem rap, none a dem a holler'Cause Jah say all the musicians shall be there
The players on instruments shall gather at His feet
You need to raise your conscious highSo Jah Jah Love can rule the world
We need to raise our conscious highSo Jah Jah Love can rule the world
You need to raise your conscious highSo Jah Jah Love can rule the world

We're gonna raise our conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
I'm gonna raise my conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
We're gonna raise our conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world
You've gotta raise your conscious high So Jab Jah Love can rule the world
I'm gonna raise my conscious high So Jah Jah Love can rule the world





96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking i and i to meet a big fat boy
Sent from overseas
The queen employ

Excellency before you i come
With my representation
You know where i'm coming from

You caught me on the loose
Fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose
On the cotton tree
Entertainment for you
Martyrdom for me

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

Some may suffer and some may burn
But i know that one day my people will learn
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky
Today i stand here a victim the truth is i'll never die


96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade

Violent Protests in Greece;

 6 Cabinet Members Resign;

 LAOS leader :

"I Would Rather Starve Than be Under German Jackboot"; 

Controversy Over Missing Paragraphs


Imagine you are asked to sign a document but three pages were missing. Further imagine the documents you were asked to sign were written in English but you only speak Greek. Would you sign?

That is exactly the predicament Greek officials were placed in by the Troika. Here is the story sent to me by Demetri Kofinas at Capital Account.
Hello Mish

George Karatzaferis leader of LOAS political party gave a speech today addressing why he refused to sign this latest agreement. In his speech, he said that he asked for a translated document of the agreement so that he could read it and sign it since his English is not as good as Papademos'.

When he got a copy, it was not only smaller than the English version, but was also missing pieces, including the last paragraph! He refused to sign it because he felt pressured and wants more time.

Youtube has a 
video of Karatzaferis where he compares the documents. At the 11:35 mark he translates the last paragraph for the listeners, which was not provided to him in the translated copy that he was to read.
The video is in Greek so not many can understand it. Moreover, the video was somewhat garbled and some things do not easily translate, so I do not have a good account of the missing paragraphs, but it is clearly absurd that anything should be missing.

Facing down protests, dissent,
 Greece vows to push through austerity warns of default 'chaos'

Greece's future in the eurozone came under renewed threat Friday as popular protests again turned violent and dissent grew among its lawmakers after European leaders demanded deeper spending cuts.

The country's beleaguered coalition government promised to push through the tough new austerity measures and rescue a crucial euro130 billion ($170 billion) bailout deal after six members of the Cabinet resigned.

Prime Minister Lucas Papademos promised to "do everything necessary" to ensure parliament passes the new austerity measures that would slap Greeks with a minimum wage cut during a fifth year of recession. He also promised to replace any other Cabinet members who did not fully back his efforts.

Earlier Friday, the small right-wing LAOS party in Papademos' coalition said it would not back the new measures and four of its officials in the cabinet resigned, including the country's transport minister. Two Socialists cabinet members have also quit.

LAOS leader George Karatzaferis said rescue creditors had humiliated Greece.

"Of course we do not want to be outside the EU, but we can get by without being under the German jackboot," he said. "I would rather starve."
6 Cabinet Members Resign

Reuters reports 
Anger in Greece as parliament to vote on bailout

Greek lawmakers will vote this weekend on a controversial austerity bill that Athens needs to avoid a messy default but which is fuelling a domestic political and social crisis that has brought thousands of Greeks out on the streets in protest.

The cabinet approved the draft bill late on Friday - paving the way for a new multi-billion euro bailout and a debt-cut plan - after another day of rocky politics where six cabinet members resigned over the additional austerity demands.

Please consider 
Greek premier says default would lead to 'chaos'

Greece's future in the eurozone came under renewed threat Friday as popular protests again turned violent and dissent grew among its lawmakers after European leaders demanded deeper spending cuts.

In central Athens, clashes erupted outside Parliament between dozens of hooded youths and police in riot gear. Police said eight officers and two members of the public were injured, while six suspected rioters were arrested.

The violence broke as more than 15,000 people took to the streets of the capital after unions launched a two-day general strike that disrupted transport and other public services and left state hospitals running on emergency staff.

Scores of youths, some in gas masks, used sledge hammers to smash up marble paving stones in Athens' main Syntagma Square before hurling the rubble at riot police.
Note the irony of that last headline. It should be perfectly clear Greece is already in a state of dysfunctional chaos. That said, things can always get worse, and they will.

ΜΕΧΡΙ ΚΑΙ ΑΙΤΙΑ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΥ Ο ΘΗΣΑΥΡΟΣ...



....ΤΩΝ 10 ΤΡΙΣ ΣΤΑ [ΠΟΔΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ!




Το συγκεκριμένο κοίτασμα αποτελεί το 3ο μεγαλύτερο κοίτασμα παγκοσμίως.Αν υπολογίσουμε και τα 3 μεγαλύτερα κοιτάσματα της Ευρώπης που εντοπίστηκαν στη βόρεια Ελλάδα (Μακεδονία – Θράκη), που η συνολική τους αξία αγγίζει τα 38 δισ. ευρώ, τότε η αξία των φυσικών πόρων στη χώρα φτάνει τα 10 τρισεκατομμύρια ευρώ. Ναι, καλά διαβάσατε, η αξία του πετρελαίου και του φυσικού αερίου που βρίσκεται κάτω από τα πόδια μας, σύμφωνα με το...
Γεωλογικό Ινστιτούτο των ΗΠΑ, το USGS, μπορεί να μας βγάλει από το οικονομικό αδιέξοδο και να δημιουργήσει νέα δεδομένα για τη χώρα μας.
Είμαστε μια χώρα που ελέγχει μια χερσαία και θαλάσσια έκταση όση είναι η Γερμανία και η Αυστρία μαζί (450.000 τετρ. χιλιόμετρα), αφού εκτεινόμαστε από την Αδριατική ως τις ακτές του Λιβάνου (περιλαμβανομένης της Κύπρου μας) και από το τριεθνές στον Έβρο ως ανοιχτά της Λιβύης. Θέλεις 2 ώρες ταξίδι με το αεροπλάνο για να πας από το πιο δυτικό (Κέρκυρα) στο πιο ανατολικό άκρο του Ελλαδικού χώρου (Λάρνακα).Σαν να πετάς δηλαδή από τις Βρυξέλλες προς τη Μασσαλία.




Στον κόσμο ζουν συνολικά 17.000.000 Ελλαδίτες, Κύπριοι, Βορειοηπειρώτες, Κωνσταντινουπολίτες, Ίμβριοι, Τενέδιοι κλπ. Είμαστε 2οι στον κόσμο σε καταθέσεις στην Ελβετία. Δεχόμαστε 16.000.000 τουρίστες τον χρόνο και διαθέτουμε μια σημαντική τουριστική βιομηχανία.


Έχουμε και μια δυνατή αμυντική βιομηχανία που φτιάχνει από άρματα και τζιπ ΜΕΡΣΕΝΤΕΣ-ΕΛΒΟ ως προηγμένα συστήματα λέιζερ και υπερσύγχρονα μη επανδρωμένα αεροπλάνα όπως έκανε το Κρατικό Εργοστάσιο Αεροπλάνων(ΚΕΑ) στο Ελληνικό.
Έχουμε τρία πολύ μεγάλα ναυπηγεία που κατασκευάζουν όποιο είδος πλοίου σκεφτεί κανείς. Έχουμε βιομηχανίες αμαξωμάτων που κατασκευάζουν καταπληκτικά βαρέα φορτηγά, λεωφορεία, τρόλεϊ, βαγόνια τραίνων, επικαθήμενα, μπετονιέρες, βυτία κλπ. Μέχρι και .ΠΟΡΣΕ(!) φτιάχνομε στην Κατερίνη ( δείτε στο Διαδίκτυο την βιομηχανία REPLICAR HELLAS). Διαθέτουμε 2.400 υπερδεξαμενόπλοια και μεγάλα φορτηγά και είμαστε έτσι 1οι στον κόσμο στην εμπορική ναυτιλία, ενώ άλλα 1.500 τεράστια τάνκερ και φορτηγά έχουν οι Κύπριοι πλοιοκτήτες και είναι 5οι στον κόσμο.


Είμαστε 2οι παγκοσμίως στο πρόβειο γάλα, 3οι στις ελιές, 3οι παγκοσμίως στον κρόκο, στα ακτινίδια, στα ροδάκινα. Είμαστε 1οι στον κόσμο σε νικέλιο, 1οι σε λευκόλιθο, 1οι στον κόσμο σε υδρομαγνησίτη, 1οι στον κόσμο σε περλίτη, (1.600.000 τόνοι), 2οι παγκοσμίως σε μπετονίτη (1.500.000 τόνοι), 1οι στην ΕΕ σε βωξίτη (2.174.000 τόνοι), 1οι και σε χρωμίτη, 1οι και σε ψευδάργυρο, 1οι και σε αλουμίνια.


Έχουμε την 2η καλύτερη Πολεμική Αεροπορία στο ΝΑΤΟ (μετά τις ΗΠΑ, ενώ οι Τούρκοι είναι προτελευταίοι), ενώ έχουμε και το 2ο καλύτερο Πολεμικό Ναυτικό στο ΝΑΤΟ, με την Τουρκία να είναι ΤΕΛΕΥΤΑΙΑ!
