kostaskarampas: [speakoutforum] DAIMLER IN COURT TODAY

Daimler appeared in court today in Washington and settled a long-standing bribery case. The auto giant is accused of giving kick-backs and extravagant gifts to kleptocrats in 25 countries, especially Greece, in order to secure lucrative contracts. Hang all Graecokleptocrats in front of the Greek Parliament now!

Daimler, the producer of Mercedes-Benz and the world's biggest truck maker, paid about 137 million euros($185 million) to settle the case, and avoided criminal charges in the longstanding US probe.

But in Europe, Daimler paid nothing, because it manages to manipulate most Eurokleptocrats, especially Graecokleptocrats! Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out Eurokleptocracy, gigaregulation, Antitrust Armageddon, and gigataxation, especially VAT, are the real causes of the European financial meltdown. Democracy in Fourth Reich(EU) has deteriorated to kleptocracy, and Fourthreichians, aka Europeans, are mad as hell.

Eurokleptocracy thrives on waste, fraud, abuse,and kickbacks. European Union(EU), aka Fourth Reich, an illegal unvoted confederation, condones the European Commission(EC), aka Eldorado of Corruption, the European Parliament(EP), aka Eldorado of Prostitutes, and Graecokleptocrats, the most corrupt politicians on Earth.

Daimler ignored an auditor's warnings that its accounts were suspicious for huge kickbacks to Graecokleptocrats. News of Daimler's long-standing habit of bribing high-ranking officials, especially Graecokleptocrats, first made headlines when a former employee filed a complaint stating he'd been sacked after voicing concern about the secret accounts maintained to pay the bribes of Graecokleptocrats. Cry Greece!

Basil Venitis, twitter.com/Venitis, points out that for 35 years since dictatorship, Pasokleptocrats and Neodemokleptocrats who took turns in running Greece, the most corrupt country on Earth, borrowed as if there were no tomorrow, and they received 200 billion euros in kickbacks from Siemens, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, MAN, Daimler, antitrust, military purchases, monasteries, and many more. Through mismanagement, robbery, kickbacks, and nepotism, they drove the cradle of democracy to the brink of bankruptcy with a public debt of 350 billion euros. Hang all Graecokleptocrats in front of the Greek Parliament now!

As part of internal changes, the carmaker has terminated about 45 employees around the world, according to court documents. The 137 million euro settlement is significantly less than the 593 million euros paid by the German engineering group Siemens to settle US bribery charges in 2008.

Michael Christoforakos, the former president of Siemens Hellas, set a videocamera in his Siemens office, producing DVDs starring 200 Graecokleptocrats, kept at two public notaries. Christoforakos has the tiptop Greek politicians on DVD kowtowing to him for more kickbacks in exchange for lucrative overpriced contracts! The DVDs prove that Premier Costas Simitis, 10 ministers, and 80 MPs of Pasok, Premier Costas Caramanlis, 8 ministers, and 75 MPs of Nea Democratia, and 20 journalists shared two billion euros of kickbacks.

Christoforakos, who now lives in Munich, identified John Bartholomew of Nea Democratia and Costas Geitonas of Pasok as the coordinators of kickbacks. Siemens set aside 10% of the revenue it received from state contracts to pay off Nea Democratia and Pasok as part of a bribery system that ran from 1975 to 2007. Hang all Graecokleptocrats in front of the Greek Parliament now!

The huge Greek debt is not due to spending, but robbing! It's not fair for poor Greeks to pay this debt, but for Graecokleptocrats to return the loot, mission impossible. That's why Greeks revolt against Graecokleptocrats with bombs, molotovs, guns, strikes, and riots! Many revolutionary groups try to overthrow Graecokleptocrats and hang them in front of the Greek Parliament! Most Greeks pray now for a coup!

It is the first time that every Greek is realizing that after years of Graecokleptocracy, it's time to fight back Graecokleptocrats. It's the only hopeful sign, actually. Greece has no choice but to reinvent itself. Reinventing Greece and cleaning up after years of Graecokleptocracy, however, is going to be a task worthy of Hercules. The time has come to pay the bill. And paying that bill, with the economy in the middle of a recession, is going to hurt. Nominal unemployment rate has hit 12%, and the real unemployment rate calculated by Basil Venitis is 25%!

No Graecokleptocrat has ever gone to jail! Venitis asserts that impunity of Graecokleptocrats is the most freakish justice in the world! The most infamous house on Earth is the Greek Parliament, aka the Grand Brothel of Syntagma Square, which houses 300 wild prostitutes, minotaurs that suck the blood of Greeks! It's a long way from the 300 Spartans of Leonidas to the 300 Graecokleptocrats of the Grand Brothel! Allons enfants de la Grece!

The average Greek citizen, forced to accept inferior public services or pay bribes to get around them, is understandably not inclined to pay his or her fair share of taxes. This problem is compounded by a tax system that is arcane, vague, and quite punitive for those who are not prepared to dodge or bribe the tax inspectors, a service that the affluent take disproportionate advantage of. Hang all Graecokleptocrats in front of the Greek Parliament now!
