The Greeks voted no to the European Union's terms, despite warnings from the EU that rejecting new austerity terms would set their country on a path out of the Eurozone. 62% voted "No" while 38% voted "Yes".

In addition, the creditors all but admitted that the purpose of all of their deals with Greece was to force them to cut back on the size of their government
... which was just a polite way to say that the Greece needed to hand over all of their productive natural resources and means of production to the banks (to ensure all the Greek people were working for non-Greeks). Greek airports, shipping ports, power utilities (and other utilities) were all up for grabs. That also includes Greek cultural landmarks like the Acropolis and other tourist attractions - meaning Greek tour guides would be working in one of the major Greek industries - with all the profits going to foreign banks. Of course this also allows the new owners to tear up all the employment contracts, get rid of the unions, and hire folks to work for slave wages.
