@ Jim Evans: Who runs what is the question. I like what you said, I do not know who is it. Europe: Draghi, Papademus, Monti all Goldman Sachs connection. Goldman has many guys in US administration. German leadership: Most (Merkel, Wulff etc.) raised and trained at Atlantic Bridge american school for young leaders. And it is they who push for european unification. I understand EU project was planned loong ago also at Bilderberg is documented. German leaders lied earlier about unification, now they admit openly, because it seems inevitable and they think they can finish their job successfully. I doubt they have any "german" interest at heart, since German workers pay and will pay more for their EUSSR. They are scum, traitors, liars, serfs to the financial elite. Who fools who is another question. Germany is an occupied country without real army, we are a pawn in others game. Since ww1 we are raped, played, accused, attacked if we take a stand. Which host "they" chose or build next is a big question. German culture is buried under lies and american "reeducation", hollyjewd, our media is zionist. We're like a zombie nation, still working, but hollow and in illusion.

No, Susan, we do not much care about hairdressing. Just as Jim Rodgers does not care too much about living in China due to the pollution. But Jim (motorcycle) Rodgers is not the point. The real point is that there are about 1.3 billion people over here who would just love to get over the border.  And who does not still recognize the simple truth that Berkeley's Paul Erlich is still the thing which drives our thinking. Otherwise, then what is the point of thinking about our world.  If we cannot better understand overpopulation of our fckd up species?

crediThor.....you Germans are now Wall Street`s Trojan Horse in Europe for "investing" in/asset stripping the EU.
We Brits used to fulfil that role through "our" City of London...but two world wars on behalf of wall Street completely bankrupted us and the Americans took over Britain and the Empire using the CIA and the usual financial fraud and selling off of industry they also imposed on American industry so they could build up Israel Germany Japan and now China.
Sorry....b ut the United States of Europe is not designed to enrich Germans but a tiny global financial elite.The Americans are so stupid that the BRICS will be running Europe and the Americas.
