Acceptance of the aid plan by Greece involves, in addition to a large transfer of national sovereignty, the sale of important economic and cultural asset. In addition to the creation of a guarantee fund for the loan, that will consists in cultural heritage and landscape, such as islands (a member of the Swiss Parliament has proposed that Switzerland buy one to have an outlet to the sea), some of the most important infrastructure will be offered for sale: Athens airport, the company for the management of water (EYDAP), Hellenic Petroleum, Hellenic Post (ELTA), Public Power Corporation (PPC), Egnatia Odos, one of the most important roads in the country and all the Olympic facilities. A country for sale. And the locusts of international capitalism celebrate, having led Greece to hunger, are ready to plunder. For the first time in many years of travels in Greece, Gianmarco Maraviglia found thousands of locusts. A perfect message to tell a historical moment that only crazy metaphors, since crazy is the situation, can help you understand.
The Apocalypse Of Saint John (Revelation)
Locusts come forth from the bottomless pit. The vision of the army of horsemen.
There came out locusts: These may be devils in Antichrist's time, having the appearance of locusts, but large and monstrous, as here described. Or they may be real locusts, but of an extraordinary size and monstrous shape, such as were never before seen on earth, sent to torment those who have not the sign (or seal) of God on their foreheads. Some commentators by these locusts understand heretics, and especially those heretics, that sprung from Jews, and with them denied the divinity of Jesus Christ; as Theodotus, Praxeas, Noetus, Paul of Samosata, Sabellius, Arius, etc. These were great enemies of the Christian religion; they tormented and infected the souls of men, stinging them like scorpions, with the poison of their heresies.
