Hayman Advisors LP, famous for its mortgage crisis prediction, now is warning of the imminent collapse of the European monetary union.
The company is known to have already earned U.S. $500 million by betting on the U.S. mortgage market collapse, and now it is Europe’s turn.
“The argument that the Euro zone will find a solution contains some sense if the assumption is that the situation isn’t that bad,” Richard Howard of Dallas-based Hayman was quoted by the Bloomberg agency as saying. “But the more dire it gets, the less are the consequences of departing from the euro.”
According to Howard, it is Germany that might first decide to stop bailing out their neighbors. This, in turn, might lead to defaults, which could make the country renounce using the euro.
Some bank experts agree with the predictions and say that Germany might actually refuse a bailout in its election year.
A Societe Generale report said that the German government, facing September elections, will be forced to spend more money at home and might refuse outside requests for help.

European women orchestrating sex slaveryIn Europe, most slaves nowadays are bought and sold for one reason — sex, so it’s no surprise that most victims are women. What is surprising is that sex slavery is an industry dominated by women. |
Well trotzky, if you consider rule of the law as chaos then you are probably right.
I think trotzky is right. The collapse of the EU would simply allow the individual nations to regain their sovereignty thus making governance more local and therefore more responsive to the wishes of their citizens.
