Validity
and trust in the European project continues to evaporate, while the
Euro project steers divisions towards 19th Century levels.
Can today's leaders claim they are doing sterling work.
Spain
is on the brink of sliding to serious civil disorder not seen since
the days of Franco. The response from the northern core countries,
(Germany, Finland, Netherlands) is to protect their bankers and
loans. Solidarity is all but an empty word. Europe is sliding
backwards.

| "Two parallel lines aim to emphasis the stability of the currency" reads the caption on this original design for the Euro. A bad joke, bad management or just funny money. 2012. |
Anger
and resentment is sadly mounting against the European project. Forced
bailouts on proud nations are interpreted as fiscal imperialism.
“Give
me
control
of a nation's money
supply
and
I care
not
who makes
it's
laws”
said Mayer Amschel Rothschild,
the original illuminate banker in the 18th
century. Each day new banking scandals disclose sheer arrogance
surrounding this industry. Taxpayers are forced to fund iconic towers
to banking dominance in Frankfurt, while remitting citizens to
financial serfdom in parts of Europe.
It's
a race for bankers to get rich and richer, at all costs. We, as a
society, need to be increasingly vigilant. Bankers cheat and swindle.
Politicians fib. Corporations exploit. But it is society which
determines outcomes, eventually. And, most often, violently. Europe
needs to communicate with its citizens and recognise citizens will
protect their turf and democracy also at all costs. Brussels has not
proved a leadership of merit, as this crisis has shown. Its seeking
more and more powers, as an excuse to do better, will not cut it with
most young or older voters.
There
is no such thing as a European Nation regardless of comical
ideological dreams in Brussels. Collaboration between Confederate
Nations of Europe is as good as it gets for now and the foreseeable
future as a tale of crisis rumbles on and on.
