The Greek people are not the culprits.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/may/25/greek-pm-emergency-meeting-bailout-negotiation-team-tsipras-imf Greek PM convenes emergency meeting of his bailout negotiation team Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras   The world should stop blaming the Greek people for the economic crisis faced by the EU in respect of Greek exit from the Eurozone. The culprits are the banks and financial institution, former corrupt and incompetent Greek governments financed and encouraged by Brussels and the European Central bank, the Germans seeking to gain by financial manipulation what they were unable to achieve by conquest and the sinister American backed IMF. It is the Greek people who have been paying the price with years of ever more severe austerity, cuts to living standards, job losses and reductions of almost 69% in wages, salaries and pensions.  The ECB’s governing council (picture taken in February 2014) The way out of the mess created and perpetuated by...

Obey the Troika. No matter what the ballot box may say ?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/9-reasons-greeces-experiment-with-the-radical-left-is-doomed-to-failure-10008608.html   Greece's experiment with the radical left is doomed to failure (says Sean O'Grady of the "Independent" ) Syriza party and its leader Alexis Tsipras gain decisive national election victory,   This Sean O'Grady "article" seems to be yet another piece of journalistic nonsense which is, unfortunately, becoming very common in the Independent over recent months. The article argues that countries have no option but to succumb to the power of Brussels, Germany and the IMF. Countries must obey the will of the Troika, no matter what the people of the country may seek. The natural evolution of this proposition of course, is to dispense with elections completely,(whether the y be FPTP or PR) disband or even outlaw political parties and organisation and accept that the "will" of the centre be it in B...

The new "Dictators" in Europe.

 "We can't allow these Greek people to win" "The verdict of the Greek people ends, beyond any doubt, the vicious circle of austerity in our country," Alexis Tsipras   The obnoxious arrogance of some European pundits is breathtaking. I have just heard a comment in respect of the Greek renegotiation of their "bailout" conditions with the Troika.The Greek election happened less than 36 hours ago and this arsehole actually said, "Of course we cant allow these Greek people to win (the negotiations) as this would be bad for Germany, Holland and others.If they (the Greek government) are allowed to win, then other governments Spain and Italy for example would be queuing up to renegotiate their bail outs".  This seems to be the dictatorial attitude of many in Germany, Brussels and the European banks, encouraged by the IMF. To Hell with the people of countries, it seems that only the banks and financiers are worthy of consideration in ...

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not the only reason.

The war  would have taken place sooner or later, even if Princip had not fired the fatal bullets. In fact the assassination may not have taken place at all had the driver taken the correct route and had not been ordered to stop and reverse right opposite to where Princip was standing, following the first failed attempt by the other conspirators earlier that day. Chance hangs on such slender threads. Gavrilo Princip The prime cause of the Great War was the Austro-Hungarian Empire and its determination to attack Se...

Patronising Bastard.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/uk-edges-closer-to-an-eu-exit-as-cameron-crushed-in-bid-to-block-jeanclaude-junckers-leadership-9568749.html Britain closer to EU exit after Jean-Claude Juncker vote.     Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb       Alexander Stubb, the Finnish Prime Minister, said British voters should "wake up and smell the coffee" Patronising Bastard. No matter what side of the pro or anti EU membership argument you happen to be on, we do not need lessons on how we should think from the Finnish Prime minister who in fact has only been the Finnish PM since the 24th June in any case! Only 4 days into the job and he is telling us to smell the coffee. . He would be better employed getting used to enjoying the "freebie" lunches and "working" dinners of the of the EU (of which there are many)

The "Holocaust". A justification for aggression.

  http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/08/26/auschwitz-how-relevant-is-it-in-todays-society/ "Holocaust"How relevant is it in today’s society? The relevance of the "Holocaust" is diminished every time it is used as a justification or reason for another act of aggression by Israel against Palestinians or some other neighbour. The "Holocaust Card" has been played by successive Israeli governments since 1948 in order to generate a collective guilty conscience in the outside world with the purpose of giving credibility to the "right to self defence" argument, so favoured with numerous government spokespersons. As  former Israeli Minister Shulamit Aloni stated in an interview on Democracy Now, " We always pull out the holocaust/anti-semitic trump card ". (You Tube video). Using the Holocaust as a justification for aggression against others is an insult to those who died during the Nazi period, be they Jews, Gypsies...

Merkel and the Greeks.

The demands of a German Chancellor seeking domination of Europe are well known. May she fare even worse than the last one.
