A new paradigm for a post-imperial world

After 30 years, City of London loses Brussels

Posted by seumasach on December 10, 2011

Cameron’s decision to abscond from the European scene is an early christmas present to our european partners and the greatest contribution Britain has ever made to the development of an independent Europe. Of course, Europe has a long way to go. After all it is still in thrall to NATO, an organization which compromises European sovereignty and constitutes a permanent threat to peace. The need for a strategic partnership with Russia and China becoming increasingly urgent.

We now have concrete evidence that Wall Street and Washington are running a secret government far removed from the democratic process. Through a freedom of information request by Bloomberg News, the public now has access to over 29,000 pages of Fed documents and 21,000 additional Fed transactions that were deliberately hidden, and for good reason. [1]

Eurozone Crisis: Justice Secretary opposes Cameron on European treaty change

Posted by seumasach on December 7, 2011

The ascendancy of City of London interests and the reserve currency status of the pound require the fragmentation of the Eurozone and the removal of euro as a rival currency. However, the campaign to wreck the euro have only served to consolidate the Eurozone and Britain now faces isolation and economic armageddon. No surprise then that the cracks are beginning to show in Britain’s normally monolithic political elite.

Huffington Post

7th December, 2011

Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke has broken ranks with David Cameron on Europe, saying that Friday’s crucial EU summit is not a good time to be trying to extract concessions from Brussels.

Cameron threatens to veto EU treaty

Posted by seumasach on December 7, 2011

To veto or not to veto? – It doesn’t really matter: the eurozone has made it clear it will proceed without the UK if necessary. In fact, sidelining the UK and the sacrosanct “City of London” is definitely part of the solution for Europe.

Investment Week

6th December, 2011

Après ses différents échecs pour ramener à ses côtés la résistance libyenne, malgré la ruse, l’intimidation et le mensonge, le CNT est plus que jamais aux abois. Une réunion à eu lieu aujourd’hui entre les membres influents du CNT et ces derniers, à défaut de faire un communiqué, auraient décidé de faire appel à nouveau à la “communauté internationale”, pour…protéger le peuple libyen des…rebelles. On croit rêver.

Merkozy to Seek New EU Treaty to Tackle Crisis

Posted by seumasach on December 6, 2011

This puts Cameron in a very interesting situation. If he tries to continue Britain’s wrecking game he’ll find that the EU simply ceases to have a real existence and is replaced by the Eurozone; if he goes along with this plan he will face the wrath of his party’s lunatic eurosceptics.

Spiegel

5th December, 2011

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy gave a crucial show of unity in the euro crisis on Monday, announcing after a meeting in Paris that they will push for a new treaty, either among all 27 EU members or just the 17 countries in the euro zone, to force member states to adhere to tighter budget discipline in the future.

EU leaders attack S&P After ratings warning

Posted by seumasach on December 6, 2011

Hans Michelbach, a member of parliament for the conservative Christian Social Union party, the Bavarian sister party to Merkel’s Christian Democrats, called the S&P warning “an arbitrary decision with no relation to reality.” The aim of the announcement, he said, had evidently been to create additional nervousness ahead of the EU summit. He called on the EU to crack down on the “uncontrolled games” being played by the ratings agencies.

As the UK and US economies disintegrate they continue their campaign to undermine the euro and despite overwhelming, irremedial indebtedness continue to benefit from the indulgence of the rating agencies which are controlled by Wall Street/City of London interests

Spiegel

6th December, 2011

Ratings agency Standard & Poor’s has piled pressure on EU leaders to come up with a deal to save the euro at their summit on Thursday, warning that it may downgrade 15 of 17 euro-zone countries — including powerhouse Germany. EU politicians have criticized the agency’s statement, and are particularly unhappy about its timing.
