Martin McCauley writes: ‘Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end…’ as one famous song went.Remember the time when the euro was launched with great fanfare as the common currency of the European Union in January 2002? The French and the Germans were beside themselves with glee: the euro, they proclaimed, would become so powerful that it would eclipse the almighty US dollar and rule the world. For a while over 375 million people used the euro every day and it was considered the second most important international reserve currency.
Not anymore, though. The Greek economic meltdown has undermined confidence in the euro. There is a feeling that Spain, Portugal, Ireland might follow the same path and go bust.
Imagine a meeting called by the head of the European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt with all 27 member states present, plus some overseas guests.
ECB President: ‘Guys, you will forgive me for interrupting your busy schedule but we have important matters to discuss. When we adopted the euro the outlook was very rosy. We thought that our currency would take over the world and replace the US dollar. The Chinese were behind us, as were the Indians, Russians, Brazilians and everyone else who wanted to see an end to Yankee domination. Even Hamas has asked us if we could arrange for the euro to become their currency, so that they could piss of the Israelis and the Americans.’
Gloomy silence hangs in the hall.
ECB President: ‘However, the Greeks have let us all down by going bankrupt. We imposed stringent conditions on them in order to join the euro zone. They met all our criteria with flying colours. Unfortunately, everything their finance ministry sent us was false. They simply made the numbers up. What are we to do with the Greeks?’
An angry voice from the floor: ‘Hang them out to dry. Let them slide into the Mediterranean. Why should we bail them out with our hard earned money? They are lazy and will have to learn some financial discipline.’
Another voice from the floor: ‘But isn’t there a danger that the Greek workers will wreck the whole country.’
He is interrupted by shouts of: ‘So what, we can spend our holidays somewhere else!’
ECB President: ‘May I continue? If Greece goes down, Portugal, Spain and perhaps Ireland would follow. It could become a chain reaction. Where would we be then? We would all become paupers. So we have to bail them out.’
Another voice from the floor: ‘No, no, no. Only over our dead bodies. We must teach those lazy bums that we do not provide free lunches for them. They have to stand on their own two feet.’
Voice of reason from the floor: ‘The communist in Greece actually want the country to collapse. Then the workers there will take power. The corporations and fat cats will all be put in prison and forced to disgorge their stolen wealth.’
Hushed silence prevails for a while.
Cautious voice from the floor: ‘We are risking to inflame a class war in Greece. It might spread to other weak states. Remember the communists almost took power in Portugal in the mid-1970s and also in Spain and Italy further back. No one loves a banker, let alone a central banker at present. So how do we avoid being shredded by the incoming revolutionaries?’ Read more…

People worldwide have got to take the bull by the balls once and for all and get rid of the central bankers. There is no other way out of our problems.
No government is prepared to tell its electorate, just how much of our money is is paid ,needlessly, in interest, to the central bankers.
They, of course, pay no income tax on all this income, with not one word of protest from politicians worldwide, all of this cash is put into so called foundations, exonerated from tax.
Every dollar, pound and euro in circulation is a unit of debt, that can never be repaid because there is not enough money in existence to pay the debt plus interest.
This is the money that is being used to declare wars, vaccinate Africa to death, sterilize the rest of us. It finances companies like Monsanto which is determined to kill us all off, with food that has killed every animal it has ever been fed on it.
Our governments have sold off farmland, electricity production rail networks and most other things, into the hands of these same central bankers, and they are even now starting to limit our access to basic needs and they can cut it off any time they like.
Wake up! Get rid of them now. They wont worry about you, at the drop of a hat they
would wipe us out, they are already well advanced in their plan to do so.
Impeach the politicians now! Vote for men who love Ireland, brave men who will do what is right. Take our country back. Print our own money and loan it interest free. Look to Iceland they seem to have found their guts. Team up with like minded people now! There is no time left to talk!
