   Greek protesters march on finance ministry with gifts of food   
      
   ATHENS | Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:53am EDT | Reuters   
      
      
   Municipal workers marched on the finance minister's [Yannis Stournaras']   
   office in Athens with baskets of olive oil, tomatoes and a whole chicken on   
   Thursday in an ironic protest after he suggested his family was suffering like   
   other Greeks in the    
   economic crisis.    
      
   Police blocked the protesters from reaching the building.    
      
   More than one in four of the workforce are unemployed, homelessness is on the   
   rise and many Greeks have had their incomes shrink and living standards   
   plummet to levels not seen in decades.    
      
   "It is a reality that Mr. Stournaras cannot see," Themis Balasopoulos, head of   
   the union that organized the protest, told Greek TV.

   German Chief of General Staff Gen. Volker Wieker paid a visit to the Patriot   
   Unit in Turkey’s Kahramanmaras on Oct. 17, meeting up with the German soldiers   
   posted at the site.    
      
      
   Wieker was accompanied by high-ranking Turkish army officials.    
      
      
   The visit was closed to the press.    
      
      
   Germany has Patriot missiles in Kahramanmaras, the United States [The World   
   Tyrant] has missiles stationed in Gaziantep, while the Netherlands deployed   
   weapons [Patriot units] to Adana.

   US [World Tyrant] replaces [Puppet] Saudis as top *oil supplier*    
      
   NEW YORK - Reuters via Hurriyet    
      
      
   October/17/2013    
      
      
      
   The United States [The World Tyrant] has overtaken [Puppet] Saudi Arabia to   
   become the world’s biggest *oil producer* as the jump in output from shale   
   plays has led to the second biggest oil boom in history, according to leading   
   U.S. [World Tyrant]    
   energy consultancy PIRA.    
   		   
   		   
   U.S. [World Tyrant] output, *which includes natural gas liquids and biofuels*,   
   has swelled 3.2 million barrels per day (bpd) since 2009, the fastest   
   expansion in production over a four-year period since a surge in [Puppet]   
   Saudi Arabia’s output from 1970-   
   1974, PIRA said in a release on Oct. 15.    
   		   
   		   
   It was the latest milestone for the U.S. [World Tyrant] oil sector caused by   
   the shale revolution, which has upended global *oil trade*.  While still the   
   largest consumer of fuel, the rise of cheap crude available to domestic   
   refiners has turned the    
   United States [The World Tyrant] into a significant exporter of gasoline and   
   distillate fuels.    
      
      
      
   [ HOWEVER... ]    
      
      
   		   
   The United States [The World Tyrant] still lagged both [Puppet] Saudi Arabia   
   and Russia [The New Russian Empire] in production of *just crude oil* by abut   
   3 million bpd, PIRA noted.
