The Euro was thought up by people who wanted the Europeans to be a close family of nations and wanted to prevent the Utter Carnage of the 20th century in Europe happening again.For that reason it WILL work eventualy !

  If a company can buy Commet for £2.00 What price the Euro Zone?
If you cannot do someone a good turn never do them a bad one.

I don't kow who is doing this, but guess what, now that Greese and Italy are no longer top of the agenda  They are now talking France And Spain !
Is it American companies who dictate the borrowing rates and the status  of countries credit worthieness ? ?

Dutch finance minister Jan Kees de Jager has announced that Holland is prepared for a eurozone break-up.

Will it happen?  ???

 
I don't think so, Caminito, as the EU and the Eurozone is just too big to fail.

Mark my words that Merkel and Sarkozy are just not going to let the EU fail on their watch.

After all of this dust and hand-wringing has stopped and settled I think we are going to see a better, maybe smaller, and fitter, European Union that will go on to prove all of the Euro-haters wrong.

Then all we, ( Britain ), will have to do is get right in there and from the heart of this community start to fix all of the non-democratic things that happen in this elitist club at the moment.

Of course I don't expect this to happen under David Cameron's control as his own Euro-sceptics are gripping him tightly by the short and curlies.

I noticed that a company called BLOOMBERG were quoting the latest figures for  lending rates to Spain. In a news buletin saying that they were next on the list of possible defaulters.Possibly France next.
Am I right Bloomberg, probably an American company are stiring it up in Europe and destroying the Euro ? and Us ! How, do they have the authority to do this. So is our fate in Europe in thier hands ??
Perhaps they should be closed down & prosecuted for this ?

Yes Angelo, BLOOMBERG are a very influential private company that are so big and so powerful that they have the ability to make and shape countries.

It is all part of the "globalisation" of the big corporations whereby they make the world to their own designs.

As the feeling of comfort - or not - in the financial sectors all around the world influence all that happens in the stock-markets, companies such as these can DRIVE how economies rise or fall and they do have the influence to bring countries down that depend on serious borrowing at dangerously high interest rates. ( The likes of Greece, Italy, Iceland, Ireland and many more ).

HERE you can find more about this dangerous company.

Here is what what Bloomberg say about themselves:

"Bloomberg connects influential decision makers to a dynamic network of information, people and ideas. Our strength - quickly and accurately delivering data, news and analytics through innovative technology - is at the core of everything we do. With over 15,000 employees in 192 locations, we deliver business and financial information, news and insight around the world."

Eurozone debt web: Who owes what to whom?
The circle below shows the gross external, or foreign, debt of some of the main players in the eurozone as well as other big world economies. The arrows show how much money is owed by each country to banks in other nations. The arrows point from the debtor to the creditor and are proportional to the money owed as of the end of June 2011. The colours attributed to countries are a rough guide to how much trouble each economy is in.

No sadly we don't. ( "run things" I mean ) and that is why there is such unrest on the world's streets while the globalisation cartels run things for us in their back rooms.

The extremely powerful global corporations control more money than many mid-range national economies control and that is why and how they can do what they do.

We all hope that democracy can serve us but I can tell you that when push comes to shove the influence of these global corporations make a laughing stock out of democracy.

British ministers privately warned that the break-up of the euro, once almost unthinkable, is now increasingly plausible.

Diplomats are preparing to help Britons abroad through a banking collapse and even riots arising from the debt crisis.

The Treasury confirmed earlier this month that contingency planning for a collapse is now under way.

A senior minister has now revealed the extent of the Government’s concern, saying that Britain is now planning on the basis that a euro collapse is now just a matter of time.

“It’s in our interests that they keep playing for time because that gives us more time to prepare,

Diplomats have also been told to prepare to help tens of thousands of British citizens in eurozone countries with the consequences of a financial collapse that would leave them unable to access bank accounts or even withdraw cash.

Sounds like preperation for war ! much like what we got in 1938, when we were warned but not prepared, as usual.

Lleading French economist, Jacques Attali, the former president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, said there was only a 50-50 chance of the euro surviving until Christmas.

  Better get out  the sand bags :o

OR....it's just scare-mongering !

I have no doubt that the Eurohaters are working as hard as they can in order to help to destabilise the EU so that they can then say "I told you so".

As Eldridge Cleaver, ( a black civil rights activist ), once said:

"If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem !"

How many times have we been advised by so called economists only to find that they didn't have a clue either ?
Ladbrokes would probably give you similar odds ! Good Idea, let them run it !!
