I believe this is a strong possibility, regardless of the details. United States is involved in Greece's politics and economy. I hope to see Greece rise from shadows of EU and reclaim it's rightful glory.

I would bet my last dollar the United States is involved in it, but believe it to be run from the 8 main banks of the world along with the large corporations, just pulling the puppet politicians strings, why would they give the go ahead for the Federal Reserve to print trillions of dollars to bail out the banks of the world and wall street along with two major auto makers. The banks get bailed out by the tax payers money then the banks foreclose on the tax payers homes, a win win situation for the bankers. Than for the crooked politicians to put the burden on the tax payers for generations to come for their greed and unlawful behavior. I am sorry but they are not above the law and need along with will have to answer for their corruptness. I hope Greece brings the light from their investigation to open the eye's of the people of the world to see how the corrupt bankers and corporations are wanting nothing more than to enslave us all.
