The Bulgarian (OP) User ID: 13376305 Bulgaria 05/18/2012 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What’s happening in Spain is starting to look like a perfect storm and there seems to be very little the government can do about it. All that Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s administration can hope is that the external situation improves and, somehow, Greece’s membership of the euro zone can be maintained. Otherwise markets will come looking for the next domino. |

Even if the Euro stabilizes, these countries are still going to go down into hunger and economic failure, like the non-oil Arab Spring countries are doing. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1505703 Belgium 05/18/2012 12:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seriously, all these old Roman Catholic European countries, and their massive, poor families using democratic votes to elect politicians that give them socialist handouts, are all going down the toilet. They can't compete in a global economy, just like the Middle Eastern countries without oil income -- the economic model of having ignorant women at home pumping out kid after kid, just doesn't work. The roots of the Arab uprisings come from a different face of the same economic distress that is striking these old European Catholic countries. Without oil money, or charity, a society that basically consists of a lot of ignorant poor having unlimited kids and expecting handouts, is going to collapse. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12917304 Their gains in credit from being part of the Eurozone, only masked the economic problems of these failure-prone countries for a while. Even if the Euro stabilizes, these countries are still going to go down into hunger and economic failure, like the non-oil Arab Spring countries are doing. I think you just dont understand what is happening. NONE of any of the economies can compete when the FINANCIAL system they are dependant on is fraud. At this point, about 95% of the global financial system is owned by Goldman Sachs or banks heavily dependant of this corporation. If you dont dance the way they say you to dance, your rating goes down the toilet and you get litterally owned as you cannot get any loan anymore, this in favour of regions/politicians/corporations who do exactly as Goldman Sachs is saying, who DO get cheap loans, meaning possibilities to finance their industry. Now, you can say : so what. But... If you dig a bit, you'll see that amongst industries which are dependant on Goldman Sachs (directly or indirectly), you can count the US military, most of the pharma industry, Media and IT. So, basically, these are most of the buildingblocks of our current society. This means that even you, OP, and even if you are American, you simply are OWNED by those bastards, as is the US economy (US economy got owned big time when compared to the current European situation). The reason why Europe is having problems right now is because Goldman Sachs did build in some failsafes burried deep within the European economy (such as Greece). They did that to be able to control the European economy whenever it got too strong. Just remember, it is NOT because Europe is the so called "old continent" that we can not compete. In most countries on this continent, people know how to invent things themselves. They know how to grow crops. We do have reknown universities, and in a lot of countries, education (when taking the relative numbers, not the capita count) is pretty high, and can even be risen. Besides of that, the health insurance system works and the educational system did work until we started to rebuild it according to the US model (which FAILS). The thing with the Euro is this : the guys piloting the ship do not have the balls to go against Corporations a la Goldman Sachs in first place, They allowed a Bilderberg member (and with that influence of Goldman Sachs) to be president (yup, someone of my country) : Herman Van Rompuy. And : the politics for immigration SUCK. Without wanting to be racist : they should simply kick out those families which did integrate and do not adapt to OUR way of living as at this moment, the healt, educational and financial security system is being undermined by people flooding in from Arab and East European countries, having a culture of NO NO NO to education, retarded opinions on rights of women and young adults, a failure to separate religeon and politics. Which is, I shouldn't have to tell, a dangerous cocktail when this cocktail is located within a country wich is having money and in which people believe in common sence. Basically, the only European country which did the right thing was Iceland : they did say a big "F**ck" you to the complete banking system and did let their main bank go bankrupt. And look where they are now. Europe and a monetary union will only work when WE do build in fail safes that influence of criminals as Goldman Sachs and others is 100% prohibited. Secondly, Europe should finally take care of allowing people to do research and publish results on ways of alternative means of generating energy. Thirdly, Europe simply should refuse to bow for the US patent system when it comes to products which are only used within Europe. This will make local industry much less dependant on the corrupt US system within which the one waving with the biggest package of dollars in most cases gets the patent (dollars = dependant of Goldman Sachs, remember). This will boost innovation in mechanical industry, energy, IT and pharmaceuticals... In the end, such a system would also seriously limit the power of the current banksters (or should I say gangsters), potentially ending up in a complete break down of their power if ever it should be proven that a system completely independant and out of the influence of the current banking world would work. And just to end this long post : When Europe fails, OP, this also means that one of the last chances for people in the US to get a voice will cease to exist. As when it comes that far that Europe comes 100% dependant of the banksters, no alternatives will be allowed anymore. And when alternatives should arise, they will be muted asap. At that point, we effectively will enter the NWO which a lot of people have been talking about for the last years. (oh, and just FYI, don't count on any other economic giants to turn the tide : Japan and the whole east is a fail, China is just waiting until Europe/US fail. Brazil is playing the game of wait and see and will form a block with other South American economies in stead of helping out US. And Russia, yeah, that's the big unknown. But if I am right, they won't be able to help a lot. And the next step after financial collapse of US and Europe and unification of US and Europe on financial and political level : WAR. As European and US military power will align. And then it will be dependant on the threat which region they'll wage war to : it will be the Arab world if they are desperate in need of oil, or fear a nuclear Iran. Or it will be the Asian region when there's a risk this economy will recover and pose a potential threat to the NWO. And now : start raiiiiiiising the BS flags on my posts |
