(62,325 posts)19. The corruption in Europe is so blatant, the only conclusion to come to as to why it is allowed to
continue, is that the Corporate Coup is almost complete.
Draghi's installment seems to suggest that. The foxes, again guarding the hen houses.
And their targets, their MO, is always the same.
In exchange for ECB support, Draghi will demand that Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (Bunga-bunga) push through unpopular reforms that target the unions and pensions. Italy will also be required to privatize more of its public assets and services. At the same time, the bank bailouts will continue mainly through easing new capital requirements and by underwriting bank debt so banks can issue bonds that are guaranteed by the ECB.
The theft of the sovereignty and their public assets, see Argentina, continues.
As someone, can't remember who right now, said recently 'it is as if an invading army has swept through Europe'. They didn't need conventional weapons this time. They defeated the continent with financial terrorism.
Thank you for the links, Octafish. Been watching what is going on there for several years and wondering, when they people finally rise up against them?
Greece appears to have begun the process. But will they be allowed to take their country back? I am very worried about the new government. The ruthlessness of these Corporate invaders knows no bounds.
