LOGIC à la EUROZEALOTS

They have both their own language and their own logic in Brussels. This takes a bit of learning, but once you’ve got the idea it helps to determine the propaganda quotient of the stuff put out by some of the 3,250 Brussels penpushers who earn more than the British PM and pay minimal tax.

To save you time, this quotient is in fact 100%, which after a while becomes bleedin’ obvious, but is cunningly hidden – as with all good propaganda – within a web of lies, exaggeration and incomprehensible jargon.

As for the logic, here is a typical example:

A) Many non-EU countries do a vast amount of trade with the EU.

B) If the UK is out of the EU it will have the same status as these many other countries … but

C) …….. will not be able to do a vast amount of trade with the EU.

YUP – sucks, doesn’t it. But it is the level at which these people operate. Let’s try a bit of home-grown logic as a yardstick by which to compare it:

A)  Many non- EU countries do a vast amount of trade with the EU.

B) Britain is one of many countries.

C) Britain out of the EU could do a vast amount of trade with the EU.

Yup – that sounds more like it.

Of course, the EU would be so pissed off at losing our TWENTY MILLION QUID NET PER DAY to splash out on the vast salaries, little tax and immense perks of the Brusselomafia – so much so that they might start a “trade war”. BUT …….

A) ….. this would be against the rules of the WTO and HILARIOUSLY …….

B) … they flog US more than we flog THEM, so …..

C) ……. WHO WOULD BE THE LOSERS, HA, HA?

Still, keep it up Borroso, for whom the crisis is over, and this despite the fact that none of the root causes have been – or indeed can be – remedied given the vast difference in economies inside Euroland, which of course their own economists told them about BEFORE they let in Greece based on a pack of lies cooked up by Goldman-Sachs. And meanwhile SIXTY PER CENT of Greek and Spanish youth is unemployed – a ruined and disillusioned generation.

THANK YOU EU and EU NATIONAL LEADERS – you REALLY have done a good job.

PS Incidentally, Goldman-Sachs executives are apparently making millions in betting on food prices, while millions of the world’s poorest are ever hungrier as prices rise. This gives you a clue about the morality of the people the EU likes to bed.

The Trouble with France

“Gallois does not recommend reducing the size of the regulatory state which drains the private economy of wealth and innovative energy to finance the public sector on which political power reposes.”

He is an idiot.

The French govt is in a hopeless situation, truly dire:

A) They cannot reduce taxes quickly since that would increase the debt very fast; nobody believes that “growth” could take up the slack in the short term.

B) They COULD of course cut taxes if they cut expenditure, in other words, the size of the state. This is impossible in the short term (or indeed long term!), since it would mean sacking hundreds of thousands of their supporters.

So, they cannot reduce the site of the state without provoking union-led riots and possible social conflict.

They cannot reduce benefits for the same reason.

They cannot cut tax because the debt would soar and they’d lose their credit rating, putting up the cost of debt even more – welcome to the Greek death spiral.

It is indeed rather difficult to see what they CAN do, except leave the euro!!  A spot of “Blood, sweat and tears” might do it, but that is a bit too Anglo-Saxon to go down well over there. Nope – there is no “magic solution”, as Hollande naturally implied there was in order to get elected. His solution is of course to raise taxes and work less. This is a cunning plan which even Baldrick would label as lunacy.

Still, nobody should be surprised at anything from a party which introduced the 35 hour week in order to increase employment. A brilliant wheeze, though of course reducing it to 10 hours a week would clearly have increased employment even more.The entire political elite in the tweedledee-tweedledum parties that have held power for decades needs exiling to Saint Helena or somewhere so that someone else can take over. Nobody could do worse.

But people still keep voting for them! AMAZING!! Even in Greece they voted for the same venal, corrupt and cretinous mob that got Greece into this mess. As they are reputed to say in Yorkshire: “There’s now’t so queer as folks.”

What IS the Eurozone exactly?

An unstoppable tsunami of advice from the IMF, but there again it’s what we pay Lagarde €400,000 plus and no tax for. Aren’t we so lucky?

As far as I can see, the eurozone is a place where:

the criteria for joining are clear and strict but …

  • ….. you can get in with blatant lies, helped by Goldman-Sachs
  • all reputable economists said it couldn’t work but
  • …..European superate zealots ignored economic reality
  • once you get in you can’t get out, like some sort of mafia
  • you abandon a good percentage of your sovereignty as part of the “master plan” (master plans don’t on the whole have a good track record)
  • nobody respects the rules once you do get in
  • the members build up horrendous debt though idiotic borrowing which nobody stops till it’s too late
  • Germany and the other states pay you billions to build infrastructure …
  • and you get airports and stuff you don’t need and can’t afford to operate
  • the unelected EU leaders pay themselves twice as much as national leaders (since they are twice as important of course)
  • these leaders spend most of their time pontificating about how wonderful it all is and …
  • pay hardly any tax and benefit from astronomical perks
  • there is a central bank which is in fact NOT a central bank and which ….
  • if in trouble, breaks its own rules
  • to make sure money doesn’t run out, they print a lot more, thus debasing it and increasing inflation but not attacking the root problems (quaintly known as “kicking the can down the road”
  • the leaders periodically emerge smiling from meetings to announce that the problem is solved (this habit has tailed off a bit with the demise of Sarko who – like Burlesqueonly – threatens to arise from his political coffin to save Europe)
  • to fool the people they invent “instruments” and give them soppy names such as “Outright Financial Transactions”, as compared of course to mere and outdated “Financial Transactions”
  • your society eventually goes into financial and social meltdown because ..
  • the plot was political not economical and the zealots were gambling with your money
  • any leader not obeying central axis orders is removed from office and replaced by a Bruxellian apparatchik, preferably one trained at Goldman-Sachs and/or the ECB
  • this surreally-lunatic performance is awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize

Frankly, it doesn’t on the face of it sound like a club you’d really want to belong to if you had a choice, does it?

Brief an meinen Abgeordnete …..

A)    “Greece to spend almost €100m on building F1 track”.

Ja, Griechenland baut für F1. Total unfassbar. Wahnsinn. Verrückt, und unsere Politiker wollen noch MEHR Geld dahin schicken? Bitte ……

B)    “Der Spiegel”: “Concerns Mount that ECB Bond-Buying Program Is Illegal”.

Natürlich ist es illegal. Lagarde selbst hat zugegeben, daß die Massnahmen der ECB vom Anfang an illegal sind. Soll ich meine Steuer nicht mehr bezahlen? Illegalität scheint sehr a la Mode zu sein.

C)     “EU will sein eigenes Budget.”

Klar. aber dann sind wir fertig. Sie verschwenden schon MILLIARDEN. Sie bezahlen sich schon riesige Gehälte mit sehr wenigem Steuer. Borroso (ex-Maoist, der uns täglich pontifiziert, hat ein Gehalt von 300,000€, mehr als viele Nationalführer. Dame Ashton ist die höchst-bezahlte Politikerin DER WELT – und total inkompetent dabei. Die EU ist sowieso KEIN STAAT und brauchte kein Aussenpolitik Bureau, das SECHS MILLIARDEN EURO gekostet hat.) Diese Leute bekommen auch riesigen Zuschusse für alles Mögliche, auch teuere Privatschulen für ihre Kinder. Sie bauen sich schöne Palasten – der Palast des Präsidents allein hat DREI HUNDERT MILLIONEN EUROS gekostet. Und was machen diese Leute? Van Rompuy macht nur blöde Rede über die Nötwendigkeit, einen europäischen Staat zu bauen. Sind unsere Politiker verrückt, das zu bezahlen, mit UNSEREM Geld? Europa is KEIN STAAT und braucht KEINEN “Präsident”. Zwar ist das in dem Lisbon Treaty, aber KEIN MENSCH konnte dafür oder eher dagegen wählen. KEIN EINZIGER Europäischer Bürger hat gewählt, seine Soveränität aufzugeben und einen einzigen Staat zu bauen. KEIN EINZIGER wurde gefragt, ob er riesen Summen Geld nach Griechenland schicken wollte. Dieses Land is sowieso nur mit LÜGEN in den Eurozone gekommen. ALLES ist auf Lügen basiert. Was mit Papademos gemacht worden ist, war reiner Faschismus.

Wenn die EU ihr eigenes Steuergeld von uns zugreifen darf, dann ist Europa kaputt. Wie wollen Sie mit diesen Leuten Asien und Sud-Amerika konkurrenzieren?

Das ist alles verrückt, aber schlimmer, total undemokratisch.

D)    IMF: “Deutschland muss höher Inflation akzeptieren, um die arme Länder zu helfen”

WAHNSINN. Deutschland hat schon MILLIARDEN zu diesen Ländern gegeben. Griechenland ist nicht Ostdeutschland. Und KEINER hat UNS gefragt, ob wir höhere Inflation wollen. Mein Einkommen ist fixiert; ich AKZEPTIERE NICHT höhere Inflation. Was meinen Sie, daß das deutsche Volk sagen wird, wenn Sie das ihnen vorschlagen würden? Aber wahrscheinlich wird kein Politiker ihre Meinung fragen. Das ist sehr gefährlich. Die EU will Faschismus vermeiden, aber sie wird es bestimmt BRINGEN, wenn die Sachen so weiter gehen.

SOROS on the Blab Again

“This policy is pushing Europe into a depression which is going to last five or 10 years.” 

You binge like a lunatic on junk food for a decade and it will take you the same length of time to get back to being fit. THERE IS NO MAGIC SOLUTION MR SOROS, and getting Germany to pay for everyone else’s binging is NOT a “solution”. If the failing states DON’T  want my money they are free not to take it. GOOD LUCK. If they DO want it then they accept the conditions. IS THAT TOO COMPLICATED?

I take it that A) you are not German and B) have enough money not to bother anyway.

“Bundesbank-led ideological opposition to central bank financing of states and strict adherence to a goal of inflation close to but below 2 percent.”

What people like you do not grasp is that this attitude of the Bundesbank is the ONLY good thing Europe has going for it. WE DO NOT WANT INFLATION, Mr Soros – WE cannot afford it.

And for your information, the ECB directly financing sovereign states is ILLEGAL (for GOOD REASONS). Is that ALSO too complicated for you?

“Soros said Europe faced a prolonged depression and an acrimonious end to the European unification project.”

WHAT “unification project”? Do you mean the one driven by Brussels-based zealots which NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF THE 450 MILLION EUROPEAN CITIZENS HAS VOTED FOR? IS THAT THE ONE YOU MEAN?

Stick to making money on the markets and forget about the punditry – you are a fool.

“It’s fascism Jim, more or less as we know it.”

A large element of fascism is leaders not respecting or even caring about the will of the people, as is the case with the EU. There are COUNTLESS examples, the most blatant of which are the obligation to keep voting FOR various treaties till you get it right and the undemocratic dumping of “leaders” onto countries.

Then there is TREATY-CREEP – EACH ONE giving more power to Brussels WITHOUT the people’s accord. (Our own governments are in cahoots, Brussels being a great place for failed politicians to make millions as part of the cronyist musical-chairs merry-go-round.

Why are we “eurosceptics” so angry?

A) Before the euro, Papademos was Governor of the Bank of Greece charged with preparing Greece’s entry into the EU. There were strict criteria set down for countries wishing to enter, as economists KNEW that otherwise it couldn’t work. Actually, ALL REPUTABLE ECONOMISTS said anyway that it couldn’t work, but the EU and especially the then French and German leaders went away anyway, recklessly gambling with our money.

B) The financial stats Greece supplied were LIES. Ergo, Papadmos is a LIAR. Nonetheless, Greece was allowed in anyway. Actually, everyone KNEW it was all lies. They did not care.

C) Ten years or so later, the democratically-elected leader of Greece proposed a referendum in his country about euro membership. He was immediately forced to resign by the EU, France and Germany and the liar Papademos was dumped on Greece like some Nazi Gauleiter.This ALONE SHOULD result in the trial and imprisonment of all concerned for international gangsterism.  However, Papademos is of course an EU ECB-cum-Goldman-Sachs crony, so of course very PC.

They are undemocratic zealots. And THERE IS NO NEED FOR A USE. Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Singapore et all are ALL perfectly happy as they are. I do NOT want to be ruled by a German-dominated government from Brussels.

Oh, and clock this from Jean Monnet, who of course is a HERO for the Brussels zealots:

“Jean Monet, the founding father of the European Union, had a very particular vision of Europe’s future back in 1952, and he expressed it in a letter to a colleague on 30th April that year: “Europe’s nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.”

“The Greeks need more time”

Fatso wants more time ……

Go to Africa. There you find the really needy who haven’t already had BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of Northern European money.

And THEY don’t keep eternally whingeing and demanding even more.

This is the fault of the GREEK AND EU ELITE. They got Greece into the euro on the basis of a PACK OF UTTER LIES.

Have you heard ONE SINGLE APOLOGY FOR THAT?

On the contrary, Papademos – Governor of the Bank of Greece before the euro – KNEW it was all lies (he was in charge of preparing the entry to the euro!), yet TEN YEARS LATER he was undemocatically made Prime Minister of the country he has helped to ruin. Why? Because the democratically-elected PM dared to suggest holding a referendum on the euro.

YOU COULD NOT MAKE IT UP.

I am sorry for the Greek plebs, but the solution is a revolution to imprison the entire elite with its yachts and Mercedes who have perpetrated a giant scam on the country and left it in ruins. PLUS of course to leave the euro, which it should NEVER have been in in the first place.

INSTEAD, the plebs have just voted in again THE SAME PARTIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SHAMBLES.

YOU COULDN’T MAKE THAT UP EITHER.

Get out of the euro; do it your way, but NOT WITH ANY MORE OF OUR MONEY.

Merkel must “do something”

The Germans were doing FINE before the euro. Do you remember them struggling economically?

They were ONLY persuaded to abandon the DM on the PROMISE that this very eventuality happening now would NOT occur. STRICT rules were set up at the insistence of Germany about the ECB and the ratio of debt to GDP.

ALL THESE RULES WERE BROKEN. When France was challenged, some spokesperson said: “Those rules were designed for little countries, not those like France.”

In essence, THE GERMANS HAVE BEEN BETRAYED and are now being made into the big nasty for not bankrupting themselves by bailing out the useless, non-working, non tax-paying leeching states all around.  Germany has paid HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS NET into the poorer EU states, and STILL they want more. Greece has had MORE money pro rata than Germany under the Marshall Plan post WWII, but STILL it isn’t enough.

There is sod all sympathy here in Germany for this nonsense. The Germans BELIEVE in “Europe” and in being “good soldiers”, but NOT AT ANY INSANE PRICE. And NOBODY likes the piss being taken out of them.

Lagarde is a French political crony only placed in her position to further the French vision of the EU, i.e. where there is massive bureaucracy and Germany pays for everything. She did SOD ALL as French Finance Minister to put France’s finances right. She and Borroso should team up as a stand-up comic double-act.

Who’s to blame?

The causes of this shambles are incredibly simple:

A) Politicians are in general feckless scum. They are presumably (mostly) fairly intelligent, so they should KNOW that you can’t forever borrow more than you can be SURE to be able to repay. In the old days this was known as “living within your means”, but this is a concept very much out of fashion, especially since Brown was given the keys to our money.

DESPITE THIS, to curry favour with their troops and ensure their reelection and thus access to the goodies that go with it, they CONSTANTLY overborrow and pretend it doesn’t matter. There is also an element of cowardice here, since they cannot bring themselves to say: “No, we can’t afford that.” Of course, as far as the PIIGS are concerned, they couldn’t EVEN bring themselves to say: “No, GERMANY can’t afford that.”

This over-borrowing cannot go on for ever, but in the Brown-Zapatero-Burlesqueonly era (not to be confused with the Dinosaur era, even if it felt a bit like it) the feckless, self-deluded and lying scum masquerading as “leaders” went totally OTT, thus leaving their countries in massive debt.

B) Many of the plebs (though not including those who said this would all end in tears and for their pains were often labelled by the unintelligentsia as “idiots”), connived in this delusional bingeing and gobbled up in their greed whatever apparent German-financed freebies that were on offer, such as retiring at 45, passing on your pensions to relatives when you died, having a so-called job for life, working 3 hours a day and so on (see Greece).

C) ERGO, as follows from the above, this crisis is NOT the fault of the following usual and convenient scapegoats, who have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT:

  • capitalism

  • the banks

  • the ratings agencies

  • the Americans

  • the British

  • not borrowing enough (this is Hollande’s current suspect, which I think you have to admit is quite funny in the circumstances – his remedy is like giving a drunk a full whiskey bottle.)

Nope – much as the usual suspects would like to blame any of the above except the political scum that have landed us in this mess, it won’t wash. The crisis is caused by MASSIVE indebtedness thanks UNIQUELY to those who had the power to borrow insane amounts to provide “their” people with “benefits” and sod the cost today since “Someone else will pay tomorrow (proably the Germans).”

Whether one blames the plebs who keep on electing idiots to govern them is a moot point. After all, once you start blaming the plebs for things then the leaders are let off the hook, which is of course where they belong.

Brown, Zapatero, Berlusconi and the sordid bunch of misfits running Greece for decades (and now releected HA HA) left their countries in tatters. But as is so often the case, instead of the real guilty being slung in jail to rot they are all free to enjoy their vast pensions while – for example – the plebs of Greece (not entirely innocent it must be said) cannot get medical treatment.

Please stop blaming anyone but the politicians; it really is a bit silly.

PS It is true that the EU elite are equally lying and quasi-fascist scum, but it is the NATIONAL LEADERS who have allowed them to get away with their particular brand of insanity. Had the national leaders any balls, they would have said “NO” to the vast salaries (TWICE those of national leaders for the EU elite) and perks, to Dame Ashton’s SIX BILLION QUID Diplomatic Service, to Van Rompo’s THREE HUNDRED MILLION EURO palace in Brussels – but they DIDN’T, and they STILL DON’T. While Europe is in financial meltdown the EU wants even MORE money from us to “invest” – no doubt in Spanish airports. Did you clock that Spain has TWICE AS MANY AIRPORTS AS GERMANY? Brilliant.

But will Merkel et al say “NO” to the EU? I doubt it. Any “NO” to the EU provokes an accusation of being “un European” (Britain’s usual role)

Potty. And it’s not over yet. In fact, it is going to get worse.

It’s Germany’s fault ……

Rubbish. The blame is NOT Germany’s but:

A) national leaders who over-borrowed and overspent, including those (all fo them actually) who BROKE THE EUROZONE RULES about debt as a ratio of GDP

B) ALL THOSE INVOLVED in setting up the euro, principally the EU elite, the people who LIED about Greece’s qualifications for entry (including Papademos, who was IN CHARGE of the Greek entry to the euro and must have KNOWN the stats were all lies)

Do you remember Germany struggling economically BEFORE the euro? DO YOU?? I do NOT.

They ONLY gave up the DM on the PROMISE that they would NEVER have to bail out the feckless, incompetent, corrupt and indeed CRETINOUS countries that have wildly overspent.

Germany’s economy powers on WHATEVER the rest of the shambolic leeches do: Germany has made a net contribution to the EU of HUN DREDS OF BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS since the 60s.

LEAVE GERMANY ALONE AND PUT THE BLAME WHERE IT LIES.

Both Germany and the UK would be far better off outside the EU. It is perfectly possible to have a decent common market without all this EU crap – Borroso, Ashton and her SIX BILLION QUID “Diplomatic Service” with 36 staff on the island of Barbados, van Rompo and Britain’s TWENTY MILLION POUNDS EACH AND EVERY WORKING DAY NET to keep them in the lifestyle they think they merit – which means salaries TWICE AS HIGH s national leaders and hardly any tax.

These people are taking the piss. Why Germany should bail out this load of tax-evading banana republics is beyond me.
