Greeks Make $1 Billion A Day Run On Banks

Rev 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"

<blockquote>“If your hope is in this world, get ready for the ride of your life.  The material systems of this world, the harlot of Revelation, are about to be destroyed!”

Rumors a radical leftist party which favors a return to the drachma is running neck and neck for the lead in the elections scheduled for Sunday is driving a run on Greek banks. Bankers are reporting that up to 800 million euros, or around $1 billion US dollars, is being pulled from major banks every day.

Retailers are reporting that people are using the money to stock up on pasta and canned goods.

Reputable Greek pollsters, prohibited by law from releasing any more polls before the Sunday election, are stating that rumors of a surge by the leftist Syriza party is “nonsense.” They speculated some groups are releasing the “secret polls” to help boost their standing prior to the election.

Syriza’s main campaign position is to end the austerity measures that have driven many Greek citizens into poverty such as salary and pension cuts. The measures were part of the agreements that provided much needed bailout money to the country.
