When you think of Greece, you may picture this...

Or maybe this...

Or possibly this..

What you don't normally picture is a populace fighting to retain its sovereignty and dignity against IMF and ECB imposed financial austerity which is leading the beautiful nation to ruin.

And you don't get to see these pictures on Fox News or MSNBC, and certainly not with any context (all photos taken on Tues, May 11th)...

Or this...

Or this..

In May last year, Greece narrowly avoided default due to a €110 billion bailout from the EU and the IMF in exchange for harsh austerity measures to cut its budget deficit.  These protests on May 11th were due to more budget cuts which IMF was pushing Greek leadership to implement on its citizenry. Greece may still end up defaulting within the next few months nonetheless
