The original is from a site called 'Zero Hedge'.

www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-19/greeks-send-open-letter-uk-citizens-about-brexit

Wiki's description of the website includes the following:

The New York Times described Zero Hedge in 2011 as "a well-read and controversial financial blog."[7] The site was described by CNNMoney as offering a "deeply conspiratorial, anti-establishment and pessimistic view of the world."[8] Financial journalists Felix Salmon and Justin Fox have characterized the site as conspiratorial.[9][10] Fox described Ivandjiiski as "a wonderfully persistent investigative reporter" and credited him for successfully turning high-frequency trading "into a big political issue," but also termed most of the writing on the website as "half-baked hooey,"

Yes, an interesting perspective.

A perspective does not have to be 'official', whatever that means, to be interesting. And "anyone", whoever anyone is, is often worth listening to?

Especially in democracies. In fact, I thought that was the whole idea of democracy.
