Unelected eurocrats hijack sovereign states?

November 14, 2011 05:38

In Italy, former European commissioner Mario Monti is forming a new cabinet to tackle the country’s debt. As technocrat governments take over in Greece and Italy, are the leaders nobody voted for likely to do a better job than the old crew?

Euros, Pigs, and Brics 15.11.2011 09:16

Ah, at last the solution emerges.  What we need is a bi-currency Europe.  The "Euro" currency for the 'Rich North' and the new "PIGS" currency for the 'Poor South'.  (Ireland, being a northern country can print its own Euros; here the "I" represents Italy.)
We create new currency symbol the "P" with two horizontal lines painted through it; and then we now have 3 regional currencies:  The Euro, The Pigs, and The new BRICS currency, by some regional amalgamation of the Rouble, Yuan, Rupee, Real, and the Rand to produce the new "BRICS".

Since the PIIGS are so unwanted and neglected in EU and no EU 'rich' country wants to help them, (being barely able to help themselves as quangos and bureaucrats or collusive drain the EU 'rich' nations to certain death), PIIGS should leave EU and get the BRICS to underwrite their debt to EU and in turn detach from the EU and join BRICS. The BRICS-PIIGS nations will form the core of an important pillar of Multipolar World Order and thus alongside a resurgent Egypt/Northern Africa, Central Africa and if the Arabist portions of the Middle East survives possibility of thermonuclear war with Israel, sustainable global politics will finally be possible rather than the hegemony of 'the West'.

This is like when the Garbage Pail Kids replaced the Cabbage Patch Kids as the newest holiday fad.  Next the people will pay $200 apiece for the latest Tickle Me Elmo and Furby candidates.

No, no, noooo. You have to look deeper in this; it is pure regime change in Europe with the purpose of preventing South Stream gas provider to access to fair market competition. I bet, prime-ministers of Italy and Greece already get their piece of bailout pie on their personal& nbsp;saving accounts

More currencies require more thinking about what the exchange of currency is required to trade.  Money must be considered as a serious tool of communication and cooperation when the abundance of different currencies have to be thought about.

One currency is easier for the manufacturers of the computer money to control, especially globally.

The system of virtual monies.

Elect ronic from computers so called money hooking up every human is an incredible amount of power for a so called government to control.

Beyo nd the wildest imagination when the idea of complete transparency for the majority on earth, billions, to feed the predatory earthlings, a few million?, completely non-transparent controllers with countless zombies.

Plea se do the final winter nuke, the experiment here failed a long time ago.
