The tax is quite high, especially on local businesses. Short term the government would see some increase in revenue, but long term it would just be stagnant or reduced

Everyone must be entitlement for free monthly stipend and the budget.

This is a country that last week agreed to increase Military spending to 2.7 % of GNP. And that government was supposed to be for the people? They just don't get it. All of this will end up with them being dragged from the palaces. Always has and always will be.

It is former Greek nobility that dominate over the global shipping industry and they work closely with British Peers and London merchants. The Greek's monopoly on shipping is known as the Greek Merchant Marine. Some top Greek marine merchant families include the Onassis, Livanos, Latsis, Mavroleon, Constantakopoulos, Kulukundis, Vagliano and Niarchos families. Eddie Kulukundis is a Greek-British merchant marine owner of Rethymnis and Kulukundis Ltd. Spiros Latsis is a London educated Greek billionaire banker whose father Yiannis Latsis ran a massive merchant, shipping, and banking company called Latsis Group which still operates out of Greece, London, and Switzerland. The family also created the Latsis Foundation. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation is a charity front used for making criminal payoffs disguised as donations and grants like most major charity organizations. Spyros Niarchos and Philip Niarchos are the heads of this family today. Georgios Vernicos is a London educated Greek politician and businessmen running a large Yachting company. Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece worked for Charles R. Weber, a ship-brokerage firm located in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The brothers Vardis Vardinogiannis and Yiorgos Vardinogiannis are wealthy Greek businessmen involved in the oil, shipping, and energy industries. John Angelicoussis runs a large shipping company and is worth over 2 billion. Georgios Ekonomou is a billionaire and CEO of DryShips Inc. located in Greece. The Angelicoussis are a Greek shipping family that later established themselves in London. Leon Patitsas is the British-Greek owner of Atlas Maritime an oil shipping company. Many Greek merchant families are really ancestors of Arab-Turkish invaders that have blended into the Greek culture after the Byzantine nobility migrated to Venice. The Greek Merchant Marine companies are covertly involved in the Black Market and use the Greek Mafias to carry out criminal activities involved with shipping like illegal arms, drugs, and human trafficking. They enable the mafias to do the dirty work. In the United States the Velentzas crime family and Greek Philly Mob work with La Cosa Nostra. Velentzas may refer to the Latin word Velum which means a sail. The Velentzas crime family manage La Cosa Nostra's criminal operations at the ports.

The International Maritime Organization is headquartered in London today with Efthymios Mitropoulos as a recent Greek born Director of the IMO. The International Maritime Law Institute is located on the Island of Malta a commonwealth of the United Kingdom and is an agency of the United Nations for the purpose of training marine merchants in maritime law. Maritime Law is the law of the seas and has been governed by monarchs that authorize and fund marine merchants and explorers. On the island of Malta is Fort Satin Angelo a former Knights of Malta base that included a military port and today Fort Saint Angelo is sovereign from the Government of Malta today. The Knights of Malta oversee Maritime Law. The reason that the Venetian nobility dominated over shipping and trade for centuries was because they were Greek-Byzantine merchants that moved their operations to Venice and Genoa. Prince Nikolaos of Greece and Denmark went to Hellenic College of London and worked as an investment banker also in London. The Greek royal family oversee the Greek marine merchants. They also oversee the Greek fraternal orders and use them for recruiting agents.

The Giustiniani family are one of the top Venetian-Genoese banking and merchant families and also involved with the Vatican and Black Nobility. The Giustiniani family are a continuation of the Justinian Dynasty that ruled the Byzantine Empire. The Italian word Giusto means Good or Just. The Pallavicini family are also a top Venetian-Genoese banking and merchant nobility. During the Crusades in Greece the Pallavicini family ruled as the Marquisate of Bodonitsa located in Greece near Athens. The Italian Pallavicini family married in with the Cromwell family creating the variant Paravicini. More recently Camilla Paravicini married Greek merchant mariner Manuel Basil Mavroleon. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is headquartered at Montego Bay in Jamaica. It was Oliver Cromwell that conquered Jamaica from the Spanish for the English Crown. Horatio Pallavicino was a Venetian banker who financed the English Crown's shipping and naval enterprises and several of his children married Oliver Cromwell's children. Greece is Pallavicini and Giustiniani territory. Baron Girolama de Massa is the head of the modern House of Giustiniani today and he is secretly a Massimo.

1. L'Évangile du Royaume des Cieux vient toujours du Ciel à travers un ange tandis qu'il y a un autre évangile qui vient de l'abîme à travers l'école pastorale car Dieu remplit le cœur tandis que le diable remplit la tête. Rappelez-vous comment le 24 avril 1993, le son de sa voix entra en moi et que je tombai mort. Vous voyez ? C'est le diable qui a institué l'école pastorale. Car, si j'envoie quelqu'un appeler ma femme qui est en voyage au village, cet envoyé n'a d'instruction à recevoir de personne. Je suis le seul à lui dire ce qu'il doit dire à ma femme et je sais qu'elle croira en lui. [Ndr : L'assemblée dit : « Amen ! »].

2. Que Satan et ses enfants prennent l'école pastorale, instituts bibliques et internet, moi et ma maison nous resterons avec la révélation prophétique. [Ndr : L'assemblée dit : « Amen ! »]. Et après l'école pastorale, les séminaires et diplômes théologiques, quand ces hypocrites, ces fils du diable se tiennent à la chaire, ils disent : « ô Dieu ! Que je sois effacé et que Tu parles au travers de moi ! ». Vous voyez ? C'est de la confusion ! Si vous savez que Dieu peut vous effacer pour parler au travers de vous alors qu'est-ce que vous êtes allés chercher dans les écoles pastorales ?
