CYPRUS (AGAIN) – NOT THE BBC (AGAIN)
I find it extremely interesting that on Europe and the European Union the only political party that holds a contrary view to that of the 3 main British political parties and the BBC – the United Kingdom Independence Party – is getting virtually no airtime right now as the euro monetary union faces the meltdown […]
CYPRUS (AGAIN) – NOT WHAT YOU’LL HEAR ON THE BBC
“The bail-in announcement for the Cypriot banks late Friday night was one of those events when we all look back and think that was the beginning of the end of the real global financial crisis. This should leave any individual in Europe under no illusion that the political elite will enact whatever it deems fit […]
CYPRUS – HOW WOULD YOU REACT TO BEING ROBBED?
It’s important to realise that what’s happening in Cyprus at the moment is seismic. European Union politicians, bureaucrats and bankers are colluding to plunder the assets of ordinary citizens without an iota of democratic consent. If they pull it off, it will in the fullness of time be rolled out across the Eurozone and quite […]
FOR HOW MUCH LONGER WILL ELECTORATES TOLERATE THIS?
… asked one of my favourite journalists (Jeremy Warner) in the Daily Telegraph today (link below). Whether he realised it, or not, he was referring to the steady, predictable and inevitable collapse of the European Union economy and, therefore with it, the collapse of the faux-society that is the European Union itself. You and I […]
THE EU: A MODEL TO BE PROUD OF SAYS MR BARROSO
How do European democracies (in which I include our own in the UK) extricate themselves from what is now both an economic and political catastrophe – if not in existence, then in the offing? I maintain that there is still insufficient recognition of the pernicious influence of the European Union, and especially its executive body […]
IS THE EUROPEAN UNION TRULY IRREVERSIBLE?
The European Union is now so entrenched in the politics and economics of the member countries, with the European Commission (EC) being a behemoth with almost unstoppable momentum that it’s difficult to understand under what circumstances the EU could or would ever be reversed. I’ve said it often before, but the EC (the executive body […]
WAR IN EUROPE?
Under the circumstances, I can’t foresee a situation where one European nation would attack another as a consequence of this economic crisis. What is more likely, I suspect, is that if economic hardship and social tension (tension arising partly from mass movements of people intra-Europe caused by the aforesaid economic hardship) are imposed on Europe’s […]
OH FOR A BERLIN WALL MOMENT
Anybody else notice the transition these days from a group of bankers, bureaucrats and politicians grappling (and largely failing) with an intractable economic crisis, to something more sinister? We’re reading now that despite the virtual inevitability of a disorderly financial collapse of the euro currency, and quite possibly an existential threat to the European Union […]
BACK TO THE FUTURE
When the unfolding events of the last 3 – 5 years eventually tip precipitously into a socio-economic catastrophe engulfing most of the developed world, future historians will look back on this episode with a mixture of curiosity and horror at the behaviour of the world’s politico-banking elites.
UNION BY FORCE
If Europe does continue down the path of “ever closer union” it will be by means of the increasing use of economic and political force, without mandate. Union will be foisted on the citizens of Europe. Actually, right now, I think this is more likely to happen than the orderly and systematic unwinding of the […]
