The Euro is creaking and making funny noises. Lloyds of London – who have a pretty good ear to perceive impending disasters – says the insurance market is preparing for the Euro's collapse and is trying to reduce its exposure as much as possible.

As always A. Salbuchi brings a clear and truthful insight into this issue. But, I see two possible scenarios:
Th e puppet masters might decide to destroy the euro, as all these economies come crashing down, a domino type effect, starting with a possible Greek exit; what the article points out.
Now, as much as it is clear that the US$ destruction is also part of their agenda (and this has not changed), it might seem that the Euro is headed to similar doom, but I don't believe this to be the case.
The puppet masters want to strip EU contries from their sovereignty by creating a fiscal union. In order to do this they need the Euro as common currency. I don't believe they will allow Greece to leave as this would open the door for other countries exits'. But if Greece does leave, the bureaucrats in Brussels will do everything and anything to defend the Euro. Even, a case could be stated that a Grexit would benefit and stregthen the currency in the long-run.
I'd be very skeptical about the Euro failing. If it does you can expect
many more countries outside of it drop back into (now) depression. I've
even heard that Bilderberg was planning to take out the Euro then come
in with the banks and offer loans. Well, lookie here, "Europe unviels
bank bailout plan" from CNN, now I won't even read that piece of PR.
That article should probably read "Austerity For All, rope not
included." Well , we'll see what happens, hope for the best.
People who have a common language, common culture and common history and traditions want a government and a nation of their own. Just like families want a house of their own and not live in a large hall with strangers. If you try to push through policies which are contrary to this absolutely natural desire there will be problems. See for example the Soviet Union. I think what you are aiming at can be achieved without resistance in maybe 100 years time when the EU countries will be sufficiently mongrelized by intermarriage with Muslim and third world immigrants which will have killed off the peoples spiritual and racial heritage. I hope this can be prevented, needless to say. I'd like to see a Europe with a common foreign policy and seperate cultural and financial policies, including seperate currencies, which can satisfy every nations needs best and preserve the cultural identities. "Stam ping out nationalism" by the way might be a little difficult without doing exactly what you want to prevent (violence) considering the growing nationalist movements throughout Europe (see e.g. Front Nationale's 20% in France). Ironic, isn't it?

If we want peace in Europe we must stamp out nationalism . Those that advocate nation states are trying to return to the past . That past was one of continual wars in Europe from the 30 years war to the Second world war. We in Europe have paid the price for the stupidity of nationalism. These people who would like to see the break up of the EU are dangerous people who have no thought for the future and live in a 1930s nationalist mode.Only by central control in Europe can we preserve peace. We certainly don't want nationalist ambition . But of course there are a lot of foolish people out there.

. .."The problem with these sort of comment pages is they are inhabited by the fantasists and the ignorant." Oh no they're not. We do not all share your dream of Orwellian centralised control. In somewhere like Europe, centralised control is a socialist dream. Every government has its faults; none will ever be perfect. Inserting an extra layer of supranational government to effectively control other countries is exactly what we DON'T want, thank you very much. You honestly think it was right for Brussels to just walk in and usurp the Greek and Italian governments? No country needs the EU. They can all function on their own, for better or worse, richer or poorer....it's their choice. The belief that "they can't survive without the EU" is the sort of propaganda that has been churned out for years, intended to pummel people's brains every day with it to the point where they start believing it.
Those of us in the UK have seen plenty enough of NewLabour's efforts at centralisation and Big Government. We don't want it. Top-down solutions have been a curse on this country, with Whitehall issuing orders down the rungs of the hierarchy and taking decisions on matters which are better left, in many cases, to local and regional groups.
The faster the euro goes and the EU with it, the better. Back to the nation-states and back to national currencies. If some sort of European "discussion" group is still deemed valid then let the nation states work together on projects that may benefit the continent, BUT retain their individuality. Forget political union. Forget common currencies, taxes, laws. Each country should stand alone and proud in its own identity, but work freely with its neighbours.
F orcing countries and their people to "unite" against their will will only lead to civil riots and bloodshed. Since this seems to be what the political entities want, then be prepared for blood, starvation and war. How easy it would be to simply STOP this happening by abandoning the euro/EU project and letting countries go back to being what they are, naturally; individual characters.
Ever wonder how the banksters have enough money to leverage 700 trillion in the derivatives market? Even at 1-100, they need 700bn, which they don't have in cash....or do they? Let's add all those QE's together and then subtract the jobs it created, which is....ZERO!! Yep, your tax dollars given to wall street in the form of QE is seed money for the wall street vermin to risk in the derivatives market.
You people don't understand that if Euro goes the City of London and Wall Street have already won. This is battle against Anglo Saxon vs Franco German domination in finances.
