Two years ago, TI had a conference in Athens, where Graecokleptocrats lectured about honesty! It was hysterical when Costas Caramanlis, the most corrupt kleptocrat on Earth, declared he was more honest than Mother Teresa! Basil Venitis muses that Transparency International(TI) kowtows to kleptocrats for consulting fees. TI Chair, Huguette Labelle, La Belle de Jour, TI chairwoman, rubs shoulders with kleptocrats, begging for fees! TI has deteriorated to a spindoctor of kleptocrats! TI itself is not transparent, but translucent, transformed to Translucency International!
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, Deutsche Bahn, Ferrostaal, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, 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.
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.
Venitis notes that adding insult to injury, the 200 Graecokleptocrats who robbed 200 billion euros since dictatorship in 1974 established kangaroo courts in the Greek parliament to investigate themselves for various scandals! There are 300 Graecokleptocrats in the Greek parliament. This means two out of three judges are the culprits themselves! These are the people who got two billion euro kickbacks from Siemens the last ten years, churned 80 billion euros of pension funds of poor Greek workers, gave huge valuable land to monasteries in exchange for kickbacks, got many billion euro kickbacks from military purchaces, traded antitrust panenalties for kickbacks, and myriad more scandals. Moreover, Graecokleptocrats will get several million euros in overtime payments for investigating themselves! No wonder, Greece is broke. Hang the 300 Graecokleptocrats in front of the Greek Parliament, the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square, now!
Venitis notes that out of 200 culprits, the Siemens Kangaroo Court of the Greek Parliament has found only two culprits: Anastasios Mantelis and Theodore Tsoukatos of Pasok. Out of two billion euros in Siemens kickbacks, it has found only two million euros in kickbacks! If this is not tokenism, what is it? It's amazing that the two main culprits, Costas Caramanlis and Costas Simitis, were not even invited to testify! Nevertheless, all Greeks demand Caramanlis and Simitis to be hanged in front of the Greek Parliament now.
Philip Petsalnikos, hooker-in-chief of the Grand Brothel on Syntagma Square, points out the Siemens Kangaroo Court will wrap up its work by the end of September, paving the way for Parliament to order a preliminary judicial probe into the affair. Graecokleptocrats want the panel of MPs to finish questioning witnesses over the next two weeks, so a final report into the work they have carried out over the past few months can be compiled.
Stefan Manos, leader of Drasi, the libertarian party of Greece, points out Graecokleptocrats began the investigation at the end of January but have yet to question the key witnesses in the case, Christoforakos, Caramanlis, and Simitis. They have made several bids to go to Germany to interview Christoforakos, but each attempt has been aborted. The German courts last year rejected Greece's request to extradite Christoforakos. Christoforakos also want to speak to two other Germany-based ex-Siemens executives, but it appears unlikely that they will able to do this over the next couple of weeks.
Anthony Samaras, leader of Nea Democratia, the most corrupt political party on Earth, notes the Siemens Kangaroo Court is set to call the CEO of the Intracom telecommunications systems group, Socrates Kokkalis, for questioning next week about his company's alleged links to Siemens. The panel questioned former Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis, who denied claims he met with Christoforakos 35 times while in office! Christoforakos had noted that number of meetings in his diary. Alogoskoufis hoodwinked that he had not been in any position to influence whether Siemens was awarded public contracts with the Hellenic Railways Organization(OSE) and OTE Telecom.
