razor-sharp writing, deep historical context, and acutely up-to-the-minute account of life on the ground in Greece.

thankyou so much for fighting the good fight in such an exemplary manner, and sharing your top-notch journalistic skills with us.

when this is over and we're out the other side, Greece will be able to take great pride in not only having invented democracy, but also standing up for its renewal and redimensionising at a time when it has rarely been so sorely needed.

i thank all the greek people of conscience for their courage in facing this latterday Leviathan, with its global tentacles everywhere that otherwise intelligent people, like Lagarde and Asmussen to name but two, have been duped into becoming concsienceless shills for the dark side.

the fact that journalism this superb is on a couple of little blogs, while the soullessly destructive MSM narrative continues to gather pace mystifies me... are most people really that dumb to swallow such murky hogwash over and over?

a diary like this gives me hope again, that one day what you have expressed here can become common knowledge, and we can return power to the people, the original meaning of democracy.

The power of knowledge is in mortal combat with the knowledge of power. It really is that simple... That's the Edenic apple we are all munching on.
