12 (4.5%) Communist Party of Greece (stalinist communist, anti-EU, anti-austerity) 71 (26.89%) Coalition of the Radical Left (euro-communism, pro-EU, anti-austerity[0]) 17 (6.26%) Democratic Left (social democracy, pro-EU, progressively disengage from austerity) 33 (12.28%) Panhellenic Socialist Movement (social democracy, pro-EU, progressively disengage from austerity[1]) 129 (29.66%) New Democracy (conservatives with some liberals, euro-skeptics, pro-austerity[2]) 20 (7.51%) Independent Greeks (populist right, racism, euro-skeptics, anti-austerity) 18 (6.92%) Golden Dawn (nazism, racism, anti-EU, anti-austerity) [0] Originally supported that they will unilaterally cancel all measures, but when they saw that they had chances to lead a coalition, blurred their position. [1] Was the government that negotiated the first bailout, and the major coalition partner that negotiated the second bailout and bonds haircut. [2] Was minor coalition partner that negotiated the second and haircut, before the were anti-austerity Any government needs 151 of the 300 MPs in a vote of confidence or 120 as long as they are the majority of those present during the vote. After that to pass any law only a majority of the present MPs during the vote is required. This means that the only government feasible is New Democracy with the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (the same coalition partners before this election, see notes [1][2] above). There is some talk about the Democratic Left to join them for the new coalition to gain more social acceptance than the old one, but it's not necessary. |

I worked at NASA on a variety of programs during the 80s and early 90s (BSEE (digital controls) with a minor in astrophysics) so yeah I'm kind of familiar with the space program, astrophysics, science, engineering, etc.

Actually I think we *are* in a kind of Dark Age, its just mapped differently with individual "enlightened" in virtual spaces while the roaming hordes are manipulated by bread and circuses.

just when you thought this group couldn't sink any lower... On Wednesday, June 13, members of the Occupy movement protested against a conference dedicated to combatting child sex trafficking - thus, the Occupiers in essence were coming out in favor of one of society's most loathsome moral crimes. The protesters mostly were members of Occupy Oakland Patriarchy, a group within the overall Occupy movement tasked with overthrowing our civilization's "patriarchy." The conference which so infuriated them was called HEAT Watch, short for the National Human Exploitation AndTrafficking Watch Conference. |

This story is getting to me. I feel so bad that this poor woman is suffering so much over a flesh eating virus.

But can you imagine that kind of suffering? We just can't place ourselves in her shoes. She is suffering so terribly bad. I've been saying to myself that it just isn't fair with what she is going through. All from a measly cut.

Melbourne hit by M5.2 earthquake
What I find darkly amusing is that there were three regional towns pretty much directly above the epicentre, yet its Melboune that gets the news headlines.

He didn't exactly work for NASA, that is his cover profile. He actually works for the CIA on various satellite-based mind-control programmes, notwithstanding replacing fluorine with other "better germ killing sanitisers" for our water purification as part of mind-control and hiding our alien origins (a.k.a Protoculture), amongst other things. Even then, the NASA and CIA are just front covers for a NWO. This is all a conspiracy.
