mccw Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Maybe zee EU has overlooked bribing these people.What do suppose would be the reaction to a successful military take over in one of these countries? Greece most likely. why should the EU bribe "these People"? Because they, the politicians , are acting like fanatics believing in the superstate -keeping the EU together at all costs. They would rather bankrupt the still half solvent nations and condemn the bankrupt to decades of debt servitude and impoverishment than accept the break up of their project. I speculate that after the support of the police is lost then the army is the last power maintaining the state. Right or wrong the perception of a German debt enslavement and suffering is in the minds of the citizenry and memories of fighting for freedom for better or worse are not forgotten. I wonder if the EU would allow a military take over or we would actually see war in Europe perpetrated by the organisation supposedly built to guard against it. Technocrat puppet governments have already been installed in many countries so its only 1 step away from troops/ security force to step in to support the authority of those non democratic institutions anyway. This isn't just a banking or debt crises any more- truly it's now a crises of democracy. Creditors take priority over citizens and the societal and state structure is collapsing.

yoshiwara Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 British taxpayers who helped bail out two of the country's biggest banks at the height of the financial crisis may never see the money again. A group of influential MPs have warned that the 66 billion pounds the government paid to rescue RBS and Lloyds TSB may be lost for good. RT's Sara Firth breaks down the numbers. The anticipated loss if the rescue had not been applied was anticipated to be significant enough at the time to be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A play on the current Peronist junk pontificating in Argentina.

PS I recall after the Wall came down and the GDR still in existence, being in the middle of a police strike and demonstration around Alexanderplatz. That state was just swallowed up. If you're a capitalist you should expect businesses to go bankrupt rather than have the state prop them up at the expense of tax payers and the wider economy. The issue of a bloated state and unaffordable welfare systems i do think are real problems, but they are totally separate to the banker parasite /financial fraud/ market manipulation/ etc issues surrounding what is basically state subsidised criminal enterprise. There are many possible avenues to improve the situation today or better still should have been instituted in 08. The fact none are even debated is proof that western democracy is dead. This still unfolding crises of 5+ years has no end in sight, no solutions on the table, only worse of the same. I speculate in "could be"s because thinking through all the possible scenarios is part of risk assessment which is what constitutes the based for the decision making process. Of course I'm not going to say for sure 100% there will be a coup in Spain, no one except the instigating general could know that; but if I read the report that police are striking and imagine next step to be army coup so 3years down the line when unemployment hits 50% and lawlessness prevails - maybe I give this just a 1-5% chance as things unfold, but its still useful to think through because then perhaps increasing risks mean I will not consider to buy a holiday home or something like this. Thinking further if a war situation were to arise then do I want to be living in Europe at all? (I already decided this from the weight of other scenarios but the exercise of thinking it all through is still a useful one) Naam comment that the generals may think they have nothing to gain is constructive as it leads to more ideas. But what I was really hoping for was more like a local media knowledge or link that showed maybe generals starting to speak out or are there any already involved at a provincial or mayoral level and that sort of thing. Example the Catalan independence movement , where do the military leadership mostly hail from, deep belief in united Spain or is the army structured in to regional units? However as is to be expected your contribution is just the same as usual Edited November 18, 2012 by mccw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccw Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Anti EU persons taking matters in to own hands in extreme fashion: "A plot by a right-wing extremist to assassinate the Polish president, prime minister and MPs in a car bomb attack on the country's parliament has been foiled. The main suspect, identified as a 45-year-old chemistry professor at Krakow's University of Agriculture in southern Poland, was arrested November 9, prosecutors said. The suspect was allegedly plotting to detonate a car bomb with "four tons of explosives" during a parliamentary debate on the 2013 budget - likely in December - to be attended by President Bronislaw Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk. His wife had tipped off security officials, Polish media reported. Prosecutors released photographs of pistols and bags of ammunition which they said the suspect had bought in Poland and Belgium. They also showed several vehicle licence plates, both Polish and German, which had been found among his belongings. Mr Tusk described him as being "fascinated by Breivik", referring to mass killer Anders Behring Breivik, a far-right fanatic who massacred 77 people in a bombing and shooting frenzy in Norway in July last year. "In Norway nobody had imagined they had a Breivik in their midst," he added. In a statement, prosecutors said the suspect was "motivated by his negative view of the current socio-economic situation and felt radical measures were needed to change it". Mariusz Krason, the lead prosecutor, told journalists the suspect believed that "foreign powers exercised power in Poland rather than real Poles". The man has no links to political or terror groups but is believed to have been motivated by nationalist, xenophobic anti-Semitic beliefs and was found to be in possession of TNT, gunpowder and other explosives The case is the first of its kind in ex-communist Poland, which joined Nato in 1999 and the European Union in 2004. Three other suspects were detained along with the alleged mastermind, identified only as Brunon K in line with Poland's privacy laws. He faces up to five years in prison if found guilty of organising an assassination attempt." - sky news app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
