The Poverty of the Greek people

read the article I linked to (and quite a few more besides on the internet)
There's more to this than just some comment by Baird, or a retracted comment by Levant

Wiki articles on powerful people and their organisations and think tanks tend to be edited by the minions of such people and employees of their organisations on a regular basis. Wiki is good for some stuff but not always great for intel on the rich and powerful.

Avaaz has an agenda and is dodgy

Overall, Wiki is great as it is so big and so dynamic. But it can no more be relied on 100% than any other source.

Obama's entry is a joke. It must have a full time team of minders.

Well, if there ever was a case of shooting the messenger...
The point is not Avaaz (and sorry for the link Cass, won't do it again), the point is Papandreou, the man who brought this country to its knees. The man who goes around the world in luxury, spouting crap and getting paid handsomely for it, while many of those who were and are at the receiving end of his long-term policies are having to make do with a meal found in a rubbish bin at the back of a supermarket. And if an organisation like Avaaz, zionist or otherwise, can accomplish shutting this guy up in the way they are trying to, then they have my support. That does not mean that I suddenly become a zionist or a zionist supporter. All it means is that I would prefer a real Greek telling the conference in Edinburgh about the situation as created by Herr Papandreou than Herr Papandreou himself. He has no right to speak on our behalf, none what so ever.

Yes wiki is great but It can be relied on far more for basic facts such as those of maths and physics than for information that the rich and powerful would like to remain a secret.

I agree Papandreou is corrupt (aside: is that a pap smear?? ;-), but Greece would never have been allowed into the EU in the first place if Goldman Sachs had not massaged the books.

The real culprits in all this are wall street. Their derivatives destroyed many of the world's economies.

Goldman's fingerprints are everywhere including all over Anglo.
