Eurozone
crisis is in a phase of salami fed doses of bad news followed by more
bad news were the bad news is, there is more bad news.
This
anaesthetization process (austerity) entails degrading living
standards for millions of Europeans. A rise in unemployment for young
hopefuls. Forced retirement for those in middle age, who once cast
aside from the workplace, will never see a job offer again. An
enormous squeeze on pensions as Europe's
golden age population increases and markets
can't or won't pay out. An increase in authoritarian rule and erosion
of right to protest.
Austerity
medicine is being force fed across Europe with little signs it will
cure the patients. Getting fit by correcting one's diet should be
accompanied with an organised workout programme to trim excess. Going
on hunger strike only results in weakness followed by death......
Champagne globalists rule the world in 2012 |
The
financial markets are pulling the political donkey by its nose-ring.
They are affecting everyone's lives. They control society with their
credit ratings and bond interest rates. Their authority is measured
in what governments don't do to suit their industry. The world
belongs to the financial markets. They care little for the human
suffering their actions inflict on those who seemingly have no means
to match their great power.

Identifying
the financial market as an out of control menace to society is a
definite vote catcher for nationalist and populist movements. But
standing up to Wall street and the city of London can be attractive
also to the silent majority. After all this crisis is the part result
of de-regulation and the greed it fuelled. It is often referred to as
irresponsible capitalism. Chaining the beast can and will bring it
under pacification.
Occupy
is heading to Davos in
Switzerland where the bankers and investors gather each year to plan
their annual agendas. It will be interesting to watch if force is
used to contain their protests as has been the case in earlier
stand-offs with authorities. Such actions will reinforce the common
belief that democracy itself is the target of the so called 1%.
Europe's
leaders should carefully respect the continents recent past. Bowing
to the orders of the globalist champagne elites will provoke a ground
swell for revolutionary action.
