Great Brits Lift the World to a Golden Summer.

It has been described by some as an elitist event. How many people actually sail fancy boats or train excellent horses in dressage. (dancing horses). Why are Asian and African traditional sports not included. How come so many top athletes are from private schools. Is the Olympics simply a rich Western gathering to celebrate its existence, character and sporting personality.

Maybe some of this is there but the real nature of the Olympics is meritocracy. It is said great talent has a way of rising naturally to the top. This is true of most sports. In many ways sport is still a passage to a multikulti environment where one's talents is respected regardless of race, gender or colour.

Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah delight the home crowd during the worlds most popular
sporting event in London 2012. 

Time was when Roman games occupied the imagination of its citizens. In A.D. 107, Emperor Trajan entertained the people of Rome with a military victory extravaganza in the Colosseum. It lasted 123 days during which 11,000 animals died and 5000 pairs of gladiators fought each other in cruel combat. 

Today's games are a relatively infant project having begun in Athens in 1896. Then just nine sports were scheduled. London 2012 hosted its extravaganza with thirty-six disciplines to delight the world. It represents a truly acceptable face for globalisation through diversity and co-operation.

“Everything is politics” said Thomas Mann. “It has been called Art of the possible. It is a realm akin to art, insofar as like art, it occupies a creative mediating position between spirit and life, the idea and reality.”

Three weeks of peace fun and entertainment bring us together as one species, one planet, one life. Global sporting games are the new mediating position between the idea and reality. Romans, eat your heart out. Those damned barbarians have done it again. 

EU Crisis: German Parliament Sparks a Firestorm Over Defense of Democracy. Euro on the Run.

The Italian technocrat Mario Monti was part of the Jaques Santer commission forced to resign en mass in 1999 over corruption and nepotism charges.

Mr Monti's latest outburst is seemingly against democracy. He calls for leaders to dilute accountability to their parliaments over the Euro crisis. The Euro is everything to the Brussels Federalists. No loose talk of failure please.

"If governments” he said in a recent Der Spiegel interview, “allow themselves to be entirely bound to the decisions of their parliament, without protecting their own freedom to act, a break up of Europe would be a more probable outcome than deeper integration."

This has forced the German Bundestag to stand up against what is generally regarded as a technocrat/banker plot to rail road Europe into a system described by philosopher Jürgen Habermas as “Post-Democratic Executive Federalism.”

Sparks spread a firestorm of heated words over Mario Monti and his comments
that Democracy should be sacrificed for the sake of saving the Euro.

If this were to happen then at best a return to freedom fighter/revolutionary activity is assured. Such activists are easy to find but it looks like responsible managers for Executive Federalism isn't so easy.      

The scathing report on the E.U. Santer commission released March 15^th 1999 paints the picture why citizens are reluctant or unwilling to follow such a Tribe of Dreams into the Federalist unknown.

“There was growing reluctance of the Commissioners to acknowledge any guilt and that It was becoming increasingly difficult to find anyone who had the slightest sense of responsibility."

Could this be a reason the European Project is destined to fail if it stays on its present course. In the words of one irate Berlin politician “We must make it clear to Mr Monti that we Germans (read Europeans) will not shut down our democracy to pay Italian debts.”(read save the Euro)

Summer madness is in full swing.

E.U. Crisis: Brussels Corruption Gravy Train Rules OK. Freedom is Just Another Word...

It is this time of the year our leaders take off for August holidays. The citizens are left alone with recreational rioting or violence of sorts. Lazy hazy commentators are free to help fill this void with unlimited imaginative speculation. So here we go.

After Mario Draghi's bravado announcement to “Save the Euro with whatever it takes,” its now the turn of Italy's Mario Monti to pitch his 5 cents worth.

Described by the London Daily Telegraph as the De Facto Prime Minister of the Eurozone Latin Block, this unelected official has Rome in his pocket and hoping to soon bag Madrid. But who are these guys who run or say they run Europe.

The Good the Bad and the yet to arrive. Ten champions of the people
or merely Capos to a corrupt institution.
History will judge: 2012 

The story goes back to 1999. Jaques Santer, a former Luxembourg prime minister, had 20 people in his commission. Some of his crew of wiseguys were into fraud and corruption. They got caught out. This famous story was highlighted through one former prime minister of France, Edith Cresson, who was accused of nepotism. She gave her dentist a plum job in her department and he salted a pile of dosh.

After the mass resignation none of the crew was found guilty of any criminal behaviour. All got to keep their gold plated pensions with benefits.

The affair was investigated and a report was produced on March 15, 1999. Presented to the Commission and Parliament, it largely cleared most members, aside from Cresson, but concluded that there was growing reluctance of the Commissioners to acknowledge any guilt and that "It was becoming increasingly difficult to find anyone who had the slightest sense of responsibility."

What a game these technocrats were able to play with European Democracy. So where are these wiseguys today.

Edith Cresson, is off the map as are most of the (innocent) crew who included local names such as Neil Kinnock, Padraig Flynn (later disgraced) and Leon Brittan. Some retired, some went back to work and some have passed away.

But some top fatcats from this wiseguys commission who gave the orders and ran operations are still about.

Erkki Liianen, then in charge of Budgets Personnel and Administration went on to become the Governor of the Bank of Finland. He is also Member of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank and Governor of the International Monetary Fund for Finland

Jaques Santer, capo de capo of the commission was recently rehabilitated and reinstated as head the Special Purpose Investment Vehicle. In effect a fund raising body for the E.U. This action was described by a UK politician as “Putting Dracula in charge of a blood bank. “

But the most grandiose part of the story is the appointment of

Mario Monti, the man for Internal Market, Customs and Taxation who runs Italy, not just a bank or a fund raising board but an entire country and De Facto Prime Minister of the Eurozone Latin Block.

You couldn't make it up....makes me want to read some real fiction..............It was a hazy sunrise in August.......

Eurozone Pain in Spain: To Catch a Falling Star and Put It in A Bailout

An endgame at last for the beleaguered Eurozone in it current form. This patient, already in an intensive care unit since last year is beginning to respond to diagnostic treatment prescribed by an array of observers, critics, specialists and skeptics.

And, it's finally decision time for Greece, Spain, Italy and France. Options are clear. You can stay in the club but under German leadership and German rules or leave the Eurozone, devalue and become more competitive.

 An endgame at last for Stars of the Eurozone drama. How it is played out
 we must wait for the last act.  2012 & London 1973

Can Spain stomach a full blown bailout. Can it sell the humiliation which goes with Troika stomping through Madrid. Can Rome and Paris secede power to the new powerful bankers who just last year were arrogantly flicking champagne over citizen protesters as they marched down Wall Street. Can French music drown out the jokes and the smug laughter of victorious technocrats clicking their fingers to demand how high French officials jump.

Not an accurate analysis I know. However, this is how it will all be perceived during the technocrat occupation of Madrid, Paris or Rome. There is also the possibility the Troika will be lucky to make it from the airport to the hotel in one piece.

The situation is almost clear. It's a new concert from when Greece leaves. Who dances with Germany down the line must be sure they know their steps in keeping up with the tempo. Who leaves the Eurozone must speed up reforms towards securing efforts to rejoining the zone. Or, sit and watch sullenly from the benches while a new Euro super-core waltz its way to dizzy heights. 

Spain Hits the Wall.

The markets have gone after Spain. Italy is firmly in their crosshairs. Today Monday July 23 Spanish 10yr bond yields surged beyond 7% and into the zone most analysts regards as imminent sovereign bailout territory. Its credit rating is next to junk. It's back to summer madness 2012.

Viva Espana. From Moorish Andalusia to bars in Madrid, Spanish
submission or resistance to the notorious Troika will be tested soon. 2012

Two of Spain's regions Catalonia and Valencia are broke and seeking Madrid's help to pay the bills. Before the crisis Spain enjoyed a boom funded by North European Banks. Now they want their money back. Debt money talks louder than guns these days but the results are the same, pain and suffering.

Will the Spanish go along with a Troika (European Commission, IMF & European Central Bank) takeover of their country. Who controls the finances calls the shots is a favourite German expression.

But it can not go on like this much longer. Never in the history of conquest has a country submitted to aggressive Imperial will without some degree of resistance. In pledging total commitment to the Euro and the expansion of Superstate by financial coercion, the Troika (and this is now what it stands for) continues to alienate citizens from the very idea that more Europe is a good thing. 

E.U. Crisis: Democracy Confronts Masters of the Universe.

Bank of France warned the whole world is at risk and Europe’s leaders still have failed to grasp the nettle. But what nettle.

Euro skeptics are adamant it is the fault of failed political European leadership. Those who created a flawed product, namely Der Euro, or those multi-kulti arrogant self centred wishy washy Federalists in Brussels. And now it's the austere puritanical Germans led by unmoving and unfeeling Chancellor Angela Merkel, de facto president of Art of Superstate.

Yes, there is some truth to these allegations. But then again, the blame game is always a bit of the truth surrounded by a whole heap of baloney.

The second truth is this crisis is part of a Banking industry spinning out of control and its activities as directed by Masters of the Universe.

The world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practised in past centuries. …....David Rockefeller at Bilderberg meeting Baden Baden 1991

Merkel recently broke a taboo to face down top bankers, as has UK politicians in the Libor interest rate fixing scandal. They have come to realise the catastrophe these reckless and feckless people are bringing on our society. More importantly they realise an imminent backlash, as citizens consider too big to fail is now becoming too powerful and threatening.

Tower Power. Frankfurt's financial district grows stronger and stronger. 2012

The real confrontation between society and the Masters of the Universe has yet to come. The muzzling of this wild and dangerous financial sector will not be an easy walk in the park.

Barclays former UK chief took on the British establishment. Barclays has “Wow” assets of $2.5tn, "Too big to fail". However he did fail and might now face criminal charges. Banks have also been caught out laundering money for a spectrum of criminals including Mexico's drug cartels. And to make matters worst up to 17 Trillion Euros of wealth is salted away in off shore accounts by the notorious 1% avoiding taxes, while placing the burden of bank debts and the austerity programme on the shoulders of society.

The financial industry is the cause of this present collapse and crisis. Since de regulation (Big Bang 1986) the Masters used their economic power to tear down laws, rules, and regulations introduced in the 1930's Great Depression specifically designed to protect society from this sector's greed.

By the year 2000 virtually all of those early shelters were dismantled. After 70 years of regulation it took just 7 short “Boom” years for today's unethical banking to bring us to this mess. And, the plausible unravelling of European Union.

Only war has a bigger negative impact on society than a full blown financial crises of this magnitude. ............The head of the ECB Mario Draghi recently proclaimed to Le Monde that the federalist EU project is misunderstood. All in fact is still OK. Mr Draghi was Goldman Sachs International vice-chairman for Europe between 2002 and 2005. He is alleged to have been part of the team which doctored Greece's application to join the Euro in the face of that country's glaring failings to meet the EU's economic criteria. He answered to the following questions;

So is the Euro still in danger?

No, absolutely not......that underestimates the political investment in this union, as well as the support of European citizens. The Euro is irrevocable!

Does your time at Goldman Sachs make you uncomfortable?

No, indeed, I value this experience of the world of finance and of the private sector.

           ..You support the calls for political union made by Angela Merkel

Moves towards a financial, and political union are inevitable. This will lead to the transfer of sovereignty. One must remember that with globalisation, it is precisely by sharing sovereignty that countries can better preserve it. In the long term, the Euro must be based on a greater degree of integration.

Meanwhile citizens are preparing for a breakdown scenario in 2013 by forcing their parliaments to work for sovereign democracy and not for globalist bankers.

The Great Euro-Coaster Ride. A Period of Devaluation to Soften the Crisis.

The Euro started out as paper money on Jan1 2002 at 1.62 to the British pound. By 2008 The British pound dipped for a brief moment below one to one.

A New Moon rising over the Euro sign at the ECB Frankfurt 2012

The Euro was on a roller coaster ride, made invincible, or so it thought, by the presence of four major economies, France Germany Italy and Spain. It didn't matter much if petty little peripherals got into a spot of bother, these wise guys would take care of their gang members and protect their turf. In return the smaller soldiers would tough it out, grow up a bit and eventually become more like their bigger mates on the street. 

As we are told by wise guys, if you don't hit hard at others coming to take over your street they will break every bone in your body. Hesitation or a flash of fear in the defender's eyes sends Teddy Boy a signal to take out the studded belt.

In the end, modern society as we know is more than a street brawl. It is a complicated economic and social rhythm of highs and troughs. A roller coaster ride designed by nature and modern capitalism. In the face of continued gang (bond markets) onslaught it can be better just to retreat from the fight. Devalue and become competitive. The flawed Euro has no chance of winning in its present shape. It is time the Euro wise guys realised there are many alternatives on the street. The Euro can be redesigned if they put safety before face, community before greed, principals before selfishness and see that new moon rising.    

E.U. Crisis: Germany At the Heart of Europe's Future. Euroskeptic Forces Gather in Berlin

Can it possibly be that Europe's present future is once again a German decision. Chancellor Merkel's European strategy is being openly challenged in Berlin and Karlsruhe by the president and the constitutional court.

Merkel is still popular with her electorate but the Euro crisis and the seemingly rapid disintegration of European solidarity, shows signs of eating the very fabric of the European project.

Is this love or pie in the sky. German constitutional court
 debates Europe's future. A long delay will finish the Eurozone
in its present form: July 2012

Powerful forces are assembled to ensure no more Europe until clear and democratic policies are fully debated within the German establishment.

In many ways it can only be Germany now which decides. Chancellor Merkel famously said “If the Euro fails, Europe fails.” Perhaps it is still too soon for Europa Maximus to succeed. Better the devil you know.

The focus for Europe's future is now centred in Karlsruhe with the German constitutional court. They, today Tuesday 10^th July, have put the fiscal pact on hold to consider objections by persons loyal to Euroskepticism. If indeed they take months to decide the treaty's fate then the Eurozone in its present form is doomed. Spain especially and probably Italy too will not have enough oxygen to survive this time frame unaided.

Maybe it is planned this way  

EU Crisis: A Disastrous Liaison, Chancellor Merkel Breaks A Taboo

It was a week that changed everything. Taboos broken and mindsets changed. It was the end of Art of Superstate part 3 and the beginning of part 4.

A disastrous liaison. Oh what a Brussels night! Commander Merkel suffered a setback, a blackmail, a loss of German dominance over the Eurozone, ambushed by the French, Italian and Spanish alliance. Sent home to mull capitulation to easing austerity and providing better terms for bailout Piggies.

Isn't it wonderful to see the nature of Europe today. Hooray! division and resentment reigns once again. Some say France will not join the Core but will move over to the Confederate Nations of Europe with the UK. Others say the UK will leave the EU.

There were also some new realities. The summit saw the Chancellor make bold steps to forge banking union as a prelude to new political creations. Reactions came from Netherlands and Finland. They questioned this strategy crying they will not pay the debts of other Europeans. But it is done. Germany has broken a taboo to speaking openly about forming Superstate part 4.

Watching me watching you. The week the taboo was broken on too big to fail. The
Law moves against the banking criminals who brought the West to its knees.

The ECB will use massive financial loan mechanisms to tackle the problem of troubled banks. And this was the week the biggest taboo of all was broken. To big to fail was cast aside. A disastrous liaison between bank folly, politics and the family of citizen taxpayers was finally cut.

It was the week when the law turned on the Big Bang of the 1980's which produced the Big Gang of swindlers over past decades.

There is only one war in Europe today. Not a war between nations and self interest, the 27 is still intact. No! Superstate is still safe. The war is with renegade bankers, bond vultures and an industry so big it is spinning out of control and beyond effective management. In short, casino banking and financial markets have become an existential threat to the security of citizens.

Banker bashing is now a legal obligation after police uncover financial crimes riddling major banking names. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors until the spotlight is cast. For the banking industry exposure reveals a wretched nest of greed and corruption. For political classes, well they may still be the the same old lying sods they have always been, but at least these days they now realise who butters their bread.

E.U. Crisis: The Cyprus Effect, And the Band Played on in Frankfurt.

As another one bites the dust, the financial Opera sadly continues to play out a broken dream.

Cyprus may not be difficult to bail out but the effect on Banker's and Federalist's moral must be devastating.

The dominoes fall, the sinking ship takes on more and more water, Europe's leaders falter at the crossroads and at the Frankfurt Opera the band plays on at camp “Occupy.”

The despair of some citizens, subjected to what is becoming an experiment in forging an elitist banking community, is turning to cold resistance in the form of plebiscite.

Frankfurt Occupy Camp summer festival. June 2012. The Euro to soon face

 the music as Cyprus becomes the latest victim of the banking crisis.

From inside the Frankfurt camp there is growing awareness that a resilient rag-tag bunch of activists are fast becoming an effective focus for banking misconduct and a tourist site for the city.

It was hard rock and good vibrations at the camp on Saturday night, June 23. Bands performed for passing citizens while blasting away at the Frankfurt ECB. tower. Home to Czars of Money.

Feeling the pressure, plain clothes security emerged from inside the Tower during broad daylight to harass and confront private citizens with crude threats, intimidation and attempts to steal cameras. 

Local police, when interviewed about the incident, pointed out these security personnel have no legal right to approach private persons on the public highway. Frankfurt police are to approach the Bank for a response.     

E.U. Crisis: Federalist Commander Merkel Plans War of Attrition Against Czars of Money.

An uneasy Eurozone alliance of seventeen stars: how many will heed the battle call
to fight the Czars of Money.  June 2012

It’s never over till it’s over say the wise ones. As the E.U. crisis drags on, on and on, chancellor Angela Merke, federalist commander in Berlin, sees years of twisting and turning towards partial unification. How cautious and unbrave this home management policy must seem to Czars of Money troops. They are winning and becoming stronger by the week. Not the month. Not the year. Merkels new strategy, War of Attrition is not the right path to tread. She does not lead an asymmetric force which can use guerrilla tacticts. Attrition and aysmmetric warfare works best when the enemy is constrained by law, over weight and social debate for actions. This is not the case with the Czars who care little for parliament, morality or social comment. Their positions are well trained and fast moving.     

Commander Merkel does not have political time on her side. Nor does she have control over all factions in the Eurozone. Her resources are limited it is true, but she can fight back by declaring the ultimate objective and outcome of this war. The total removal of  Czars of Money influence over the financial affairs of Europe.

No, she must not hesitate. Merkel must face the enemy in open combat with fewer countries and with well nourished soldiers. The strongest and fittest within the Eurozone should heed the battle call; for Art of Superstate, part 3  is lost if Spain and Italy falter in the coming summer reckoning.

And what will happen if the battle is lost. Very little as history shows. Some pain. Some loss of wealth. Some bitter recriminations. But Europe will roll on and pick up the struggle after the casualties are buried.  

E.U. Crisis: Commission Capo Lectures Nobody on How not to Lecture the Commission.

President Barroso and his Commission democratically represents....well, Nobody.....However, Barroso took on a role at the G20 to tell the world they should not lecture... “we,” I presume he means the 27,…on democracy or the handling of the economy.

Nobody is listening to
President Barroso at the G20 2012

“In Europe we are open democracies”....he said....”but frankly we are not coming here to receive lessons in terms of democracy or in terms of how to handle the economy because the European Union as a model can be very proud of......we are certainly not coming here to receive lessons from Nobody.

The president should listen to the storm of cries from citizens shouting for him and his commission to dissolve and leave democracy and the economy where it belongs....with the people. And who will cry for their departure.....well Nobody of course.  

E.U. Crisis, Greek Elections: It's Not About the Money Honey, We Don't Need your Money, Money.

To day Greeks have the stage all to themselves. Tomorrow the audience will either applaud or walk out of the theatre. Either way the show is over.

Press eyes focus on whether outside forces can shape the outcome of the Greek election through direct threats or scare tactics. A now familiar strategy affecting the democratic process across Europe.

Least we forget, and we should never desert our history, 80yrs ago during the last great financial débâcle, democracy in Europe was reduced from 24 countries in 1920 to 11 by 1939.

Political and fiscal union crudely peddled from Brussels, and to some extent Berlin, is perceived in a cohering manner. This will not work just as totalitarianism didn't succeed in 1939.

The world today Sunday 17^th June 2012 is in a state of chassis (Juno and the paycock; Sean O' Casey) over predicting the situation and outcomes in Greece.

Greece is on a collision course with foreign lenders...... Chaos erupts..... Greece is forced to declare bankruptcy...... If Greece leaves the Euro, a disorderly default is likely as creditors lose patience. …. If the Germans don't act.... it could lead to an economic Armageddon....collapse in confidence across Europe threatens …. global crisis that will have dire consequences.......

It's not about the money.  Greece and Germany are no longer lovers in the Euro family. How
they divorce is how the Euro will reshape the European Project. Picture Frankfurt 2012

In the end it is not about the money, money. We don't need your money money....In the end it is about dignity, independence and a sense of well being. Greece's impassioned and tempestuous affair with the Euro is over. Whatever way one sees the outcome of the election, Greece and Germany have fallen out and recriminations are bitter.

As one Greek living in Germany put it "It was absolutely wrong for Greece to enter the euro. It's only a small country of 10 million people; it can't possibly destabilise the EU' – but they were mistaken.”

"I am flying back to Thessaloniki on Sunday morning just to vote," he said proudly. "We live in a world where democracy has been taken away from us. My vote is the only thing left for me and I must do it for my country." (source: Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Der Spiegel)

Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.

It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money.

Commander Merkel Leads Eurotroopers V Czars of Money. The Battle for Europe 2012 Draws Towards Reality.

In my crazy dream I saw the Battlefield. Disorder was spreading through the periphery of the main Eurocore body rolling slowly across the open plains.

Flying columns from the Czars of Money army rushed the weak Spanish brigades positioned to the rear. The Eurocore army Commander in Chief, Saxon Queen Angela Merkel seeing the attack held her nerve while sending reinforcements. These reinforcements bought but a few hours of precious time.

The army of the Czars of Money is exceptionally strong. Its soldiers are well trained and equipped with a fabulous war chest. Sensing unease in the Eurocore ranks it then split its forces 70/30. The lesser group maintained its pressure on the Spanish while the larger force prepared a full frontal assault on Roman guards protecting a major number of citizens. There was a mood of foreboding amongst these citizens, fearing a financial massacre should the Guards falter and buckle under the ensuring fight. Some citizens donned their balaclavas in futile defiance.

The Battle for Europe 2012 centres around the Roman Guard defending Italy.
Picture: GDR revolutionary wall mural Dresden 2012 

Commander Merkel called a council of War advisers to assess the situation. I was there. “Like mad hungry hyenas scenting fresh flesh” I said to her, “the Czars of Money are becoming more and more embolden with each attack on our formations.” Her face looked worried but resolved. She was committed to continue the struggle to move the main body of the Eurocore to safer ground and beyond the reach of the highly dangerous Financial Mercenaries.

“Should our Roman Euro-troops fail to hold the line for the forthcoming assault then I fear the battle and indeed the war is finally lost. Commander!” I continued, “ the group we defend is too large and too slow to react to these harassing columns. We must strengthen the Roman Lines. There is no time to wait. Greece must be offered terms it can accept to leave the Eurocore, as should Portugal, France and Southern Italy.

Leaner and faster we can move to deliver the Coup de Grace to this Crisis. Euro-troopers cannot avoid using the invincible might of our most potent weapon. The Eurobond. This done there will be a rush from some of the strong non combatant Nordic tribes to join the new army. Move Now Commander” I urged. “Confederate Nations of Europe will cover the Western and Eastern Flanks. Victory is assured. 

Mrs Merkel’s War: Commander in Chief Outlines Federal Eurocore Enlistment conditions. Confederate Nations of Europe Prepares for its Vital Role.

Mrs Merkel is leading the Eurocore to a new beginning. It will be meaner, leaner and ready to do business.

“We need more Europe, a budget union, and we need a political union first and foremost. We must, step by step, cede responsibilities to Europe. Countries outside the eurozone should not be able to block that process.“

If she succeeds, the new Federal Eurocore will enter the Global Stage as an experienced and battle hardened currency.

From the ashes of 1945, Art of Superstate offers a new dawn of Democratic Syncretism.
Dresden 2012 is once again a golden city for all to enjoy.

Confederate Nations of Europe will offer support. It will provide checks and balances within a new era of European cooperation. Weaker members of the European Union and Art of Superstate must be confident they have the will of the Union to carry them along.

Mrs Merkel’s War on insolvent and reckless banks and investment institutions, the main instigators of the crisis,  is understandable. Her campaign will shape and strengthen rules to protect citizens from the international financial sector’s plan to govern our countries through debt, poverty and endless taxpayer bailouts.

Spain now faces the choice. Is it to willingly join with Federal Eurocore, or is it to join the Confederate Nations of Europe.

Dimension: Art of Superstate is at the crossroads. The “Age of Empire” is over, even for the Czars of Money.

 It is a dawn of Democratic Syncretism. Confederate Nations of Europe and Federal Eurocore can together forge new systems to pursue growth and wealth within the pluralist frame.

European Commission Should Leave Brussels Street Party

The British are celebrating. And so they should. They have painstakenly over the decade argued their point on the Euro and the democratic deficit emulating from Brussels street. They were ignored when fundemental flaws were highlighed to an arrogant and incompetent regime living in this proud old street.

But then again didn't this same regime know all this. Their strategy of pursuing a unified federal Europe though a policy of crisis leads to uncertainty and eventually to submission was as flawed as the Euro itself.

Flashback to Brussels Street Belfast,  Silver Jubliee 1977.  There was trouble then. Today the British there have more
to celebrate.   A persistent process to face down problems brings dividends to that part of the  Kingdom. 

This is the 21^st century. The digital age of knowledge & communication. The People can not be fooled all the time.

Finally the Bankers have owned up. This is their crisis. From Brussels to Frankfurt to Rome finance leaders have admitted the Euro set-up is “Unsustainable, the currency could disintegrate and the entire European edifice was in danger.”

The first step to resolving a problem is admitting there is one.

The disgraced commission of Jacques Santer a decade past, resigned over massive financial corruption crimes. This present incompetent and disgraced commission of Jose Manuel Barroso should also leave the Brussels street. That done their front door should be closed. Forever. 

Ireland Commits to Battleship EURMANIA Magna. Can Chancellor Merkel Steer the Distressed Vessel to a Safe Haven.

It was a decisive vote to a fair debate. A rare event in the formation of Superstate. Democracy is not often welcome in the technocratic corridors of EU politics. But we are here now in this place. It is an uncertain but exciting move. Ireland has signed up to a fiscal and eventual political union with Germania Magna and allies should the Eurocarrier manage to ride the storms ahead. Ireland is under new management. Its national debt is to be repaid over a 20yr period.

Ireland commits to Europe in referendum.
The debate is polarising European society into Yes and No camps. 2012 

Europe is transforming rapidly through an unnerving catalyst. A man made financial tempest, planned and directed 12yrs past by the Czars of Money. The Euro core is in the making process.

But in other parts of Superstate this plan is causing severe dissent. It is ripping Europeans apart. Political polarisation and fractures in the social fabric are widening. It is the cause of riots, poverty, distrust and above all a massive loss of faith in how Europe is organised and run. It is becoming a mystery to most and a focus of fear.

In the coming months if not weeks Spain will be tested by the Czars of Money. Germany's resolve to support the European project as de facto leader will be measure in actions not words.

The proposal is daunting.....Are people willing to share the debts of others for a Superstate with uncertainty, a history of violence, a loss of democracy, a mistrust of national character and a clear submission to the Czars of Money . In my time as a war correspondent the biggest and most exciting high was to gamble with my own life against the odds.   ........ Throw the dice.................

E.U. Crisis. Open talk of Euro Break-Up Sends Shivers Across the Channel

“The eurozone must decide soon whether it wants to stay together or break-up,“ The British PM told MPs in Parliament. “The eurozone is tearing itself apart and the UK would not be unscathed,” said the governor of the Bank of England.

Frustration with the way Eurozone leaders have handled the crisis is seriously damaging confidence. If any was ever there in the first place.

The Strasbourg party gets more like an acid trip each month as it drifts
away from the reality of events facing Europe. photomoderne 2012

Austerity alone is not working, as told to the Euro politicians time and time again. The haughty pride which stalked the power corridors of Brussels is humbled to ridicule by the citizens of Superstate. Strasbourg looks increasingly more like a bizarre comedy of errors. Situated on the edge of town just off the highway and at the end of an industrial estate, this structure says nothing of importance to the visitor. It is surely the most expensive chatter shop in the history of parliaments.

And it is all not over yet for “Art of Superstate.” The crisis has yet to bite hard into the homes and living standards of the people. When the first wave of robbing the public by the investment bankers came in 2007, citizens were taken by surprise. The financial markets and the 500,000+ per year salaried gamblers got away with their massive bailouts. And, returned to practise their same old tricks, speculating on the misfortune of countries, food and energy.

As a second tsunami crash looms off shore threatening to engulf the E.U. one can not believe the public will sit idly by and bow down to the banker once again. But, as Greece heads for more chaos, as Spain looks about to be locked out of the financial markets, as Italy' feels the rising economic heat along with new anarchist attacks, as Germany looses its grip on the helm, as old antagonistic war wounds are reopened and as some northern countries swing to the far right, the President of the European council Herman Van Rompuy, has the answer;

…...”Greek people are still in favour of being eurozone members because they know there is no other option for their country, there is no future for their country outside the EU..... In any case, we will convince people of the good sense and the meaning of EU membership by economic results. That’s why we have to stabilise the eurozone and that’s why we have to increase economic growth, and create jobs.”

Does anyone, still believe, these people can run an Empire.

A New Wind Blows A Changing of the Guards. War Notes from Germany, A Country of Peaceful Overtones.

The mood from some German people thinking about the euro crisis and its fallouts  is “Please don’t leave Germans alone with all the power.” This, they say, its not good for everyone, including Germans.
“Follow through with the dream and Germany will play its role in making Europe secure and prosperous for the challanges which lie ahead in a global world.”

“If we fail”...they say....  “to unite and include UK in any future arangements, then Europe faces a dangerous and uncertain future.

Germans say mistakes have been made. There is growing acknowledgment about the role of the EU commission in Brussels....... A recogniion of a grossly dysfunctional, arrogant and corrupt white  elephant......often the cynicial comment of the British euro-skeptics on such a matter.

 The Merkozy alliance lies in tatters. The tactical error of giving election support to the President of Bling has, as suggested, proved damaging to Chancellor Angela Merkel.....what a pity she listened to others and not her political instincts...........As a result, the Saxon Queen is observing a combination of moves forcing her towards checkmate in 2013. There is a new wind blowing from left and right as Europe watches the changing of the guards. Austerity is being pillared by the people, as are those politicians who can be located for punishment. Political failure must know the world it lives in.
 

Same face, old job


Germany can be the heart of europe...but can Europe be the host of that heart....this cisis has now brought Art of Superstate to the crossroads for a great decision to a great question..........Can Germany convince the UK to cultivate Europe as the strongest economic and the strongest democratic force on the planet. Or will confederate nations of Europe grow as the Euro core consolodates. The Saxon Queen has little time left to make her place in history...she should use it wisely...........      

E.U Crisis. Euro In Intensive Care, Outlook Critical.

The sick child of the Europe project is moved into Intensive care as conditions for lady Euro's survival becomes critical. Some say the outlook is fatal. At the time of writing Spain is the focus of financial market worry. There are some scary permutations being stored up in the deck of cards. The game is deadly.

Market heat is now full on to seek a sovereign takeover of Spanish financial affairs. Spanish citizens care little for this market worry and why should they after witnessing the brutal humiliation of Greece. For the Euro now on life support, the message is clear to Brussels and Berlin, it is not worth the pain to save it.

E.U Crisis: German revolutionaries occupy the space in front of the Central
Bank in Frankfurt. The Europe project faces its greatest challenge as Spain
is asked to bite the bullet. Picture 2012.  

Let it whither as the united Federalist currency. A fantasy of the grotesque. Let it reform into a hard currency for Germania Magna, Netherlands, Finland Austria and who else it serves.

It is certainly game over for the Federalists... Brussels is to blame. Why not. It failed to lead effectively during the crisis and as such must pay the price of its failure...Now despised by many citizens, figurehead EU commission must dissolve and be removed from the people's project, Dimension; the Art of Superstate, part 3.

What now is left of European solidarity under this E.U. commission's leadership. Little or nothing. We are back to where it all began, struggling to keep Europe form falling into anarchy and chaos on the streets, while blaming its big powers for insensitivity and self interest.

It's not that simple of course, but this is the game. Not I sir, I didn't do it, I wasn't there. But we were there and it did happen. The efforts of international Bankers to rule the lives of citizens through debt and loans has backfired. Citizens are in a revolutionary mentality. They are no longer afraid or unable to question the very reason d'etre of the European project and whether it is again too soon to talk of a pan European Identity rising above the old nationalist banner of self determination.

Syria Uprising: Asma al-Assad, For Whom Power Doth Crush #3

Re-framing reality is a game most dictators and their wives indulge in. It offers solace, a justification for passing their guilt to others. This is usually towards people they are supposed to serve and protect. There is never any doubt in the mind set of these people that citizens are nothing but a brutish, lowly rabble, lacking appreciation of their masters and all they have done for them.

dictator husband stays at home to brutalize Syrian resistance to the regime. Facebook 2012 

Being devoid of anchors to reality, while society disintegrates around them, is the story of most failed dictators. It peppers history.

Asma al-Assad's shopping spree for luxury goods in London, Paris and Dubai while her husband brutally crushes dissent and uprising, is proof of the delusion which finally grips the dictators circle.

When it comes to her murder and that of her husband Bashar and his brother Mahar it possibly may be their very inner circle which administers the deed if and when the wolves of the Free Syrian Army get close to the ballroom doors.

That is price for leaving the real world to dance with a power which drugs its victim. The Assad trio may continue for some time to bombard Syrian people and inflict suffering. But for whom, power doth crush has mostly the same outcome. The music stops, the dance is over and and the drug effect wears off. You are lead away from the dance floor to meet a man with a gun.
