Stocks faded in the final hour of trading Tuesday to finish lower following news that Greek depositors withdrew 700 million euros from the nation's banking system and after Greece's leaders failed to agree on a coalition government.

The S&P 500 closed at 3-month lows, while the Dow logged its ninth loss in the last 10 sessions. Major averages are on pace for their biggest monthly losses since last September.

According to a transcript, Greek depositors recently withdrew 700 million euros from the nation's local banks, said President Karolos Papoulias, though the exact timing of the transfer was unclear.

"I think people need to prepare for the eventual removal of Greece from the EU and investors are getting ahead of that before they're forced to," said Matthew McCormick, vice president and portfolio manager at Bahl & Gaynor Investment Counsel on CNBC's "Closing Bell." "It's a political market and an event-driven market."

All Canadian media outlets are reporting right now that Syrian troops are killing civilians in Homs. Welcome to 2012 where fiction is peddled as fact, where the tail wags the dog and make-up muppets present the news. Orwellian yes, suprising, no.

Oh Canada! Proud member of the legion of nations controlled by uber-wealthy warmongering kleptocrats.

Irish Social Workers Are Horrified By Their Ruthless English Counterparts

The scourge of the oppressive state is an encroaching reality in all of our lives, from the mundane to the sacred, state has infiltrated everything, even children are pawns of power. We desperately need to revert to our humanity, seeing each situation with fresh eyes, with a hunger for actual justice, not simply a perceived justice but an actual human justice. We are going to have to come to terms with our humanity at some point, in each of our lives no matter how different they may be, the loss of freedom will come, and it will emerge from many directions - mostly economic - for I can almost promise that the children noted below by the author are in all likelihood not from wealthy families, but from families of the poor, or near poor. There is perceived justice, where humans are treated as elaborations of some government plan and there is actual human justice, where the good of the human being is the act of justice, not the rigid structure of government dictate.

Such is the reign of terror now being imposed on innocent English families by social workers that scores of parents have been fleeing with their children to Ireland to escape their clutches. I have followed a dozen such stories over the past two years, and in all of them two things stand out. One is that the English social workers seem prepared to stop at nothing to get the children back. The other is the extraordinary contrast between them and the Irish social workers, who again and again have satisfied themselves that the children are at no risk from their loving parents and are astonished by the ruthless behaviour of their English counterparts.

Several of these stories I have reported more than once and they do not have happy endings. A mother and baby were pursued to Ireland by six social workers and police, who sat in Dublin for 10 days of court hearings, until a judge ruled in their favour (with the social workers seen giving “high fives” on emerging from the court). When the mother again escaped to a remote cottage, she was violently knocked down by a policeman, so that her baby could be taken back to England.

Vicky Haigh, a former racehorse trainer, managed to escape to Ireland before her daughter was born. But then she was brought to England to be quite bizarrely punished, in a case relating to her beloved older daughter, with a three-year prison sentence – leaving her baby to be looked after in Ireland.

A 14-year-old boy lived happily with his mother in Ireland for six months until, after an equally bizarre judgment based on evidence neither he nor his mother were allowed to see, he was deported miserably back to care in England.

Last week, another such story came my way. It concerns a respectable family which was hit with disaster last summer, after the semi-autistic 8-year-old son –who tends to make things up – had lashed out at his 13-year-old sister, leaving bruises. When these were investigated, the boy told the police that his father had done it. The girl denied this – and the boy admitted in video evidence what had really happened – but the police stuck with his earlier story and arrested the father. Although he was never charged, the interventions of social workers became so menacing that, last October, the family escaped to Ireland, where the father has his roots.
