Face the facts. Then act on them.

It's the only mantra I know, the only doctrine I have to offer you, and it's harder than you think, because I swear humans seem hardwired to do anything but. Face the facts. Don't pray, don't wish, don't buy into centuries old dogma and dead rhetoric.

"Deposits in banks outside Greece are exempted from audits of their origin if they are repatriated within six months of the passing of the tax bill and are taxed with a 5 percent rate"

This is really alarming.  Is this a test case?  So, the way I'm reading this is that those who have gotten out of the banking system and have been depositing their monies at the Bank of Pillowtop will have to deposit such funds into a proper bank before the deadline, pay a 5% tax on their own likely already taxed money, or it will be illegal to use it in exchange transactions?

Is this a correct interpretation?

Thread about the same thing on Denninger's Ticker Forum:

http://tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=128116

I kinda' agree with him on his comments about it being an attempt to stop tax evasion that will simply fan the flames of capital flight.  Barter will end up offsetting a lot of that but then the government might collapse.

Cut out the tinfoil... this is just a lobby win by VISA. Now they will get their 2.5% of EVERY transaction in Greece.
