The European citizens

This is pure Capitalism –raw dictatorship Whether we like it or not, what it is, is what it is and the truth hurts. Power relies on filthy “lucre”, we can see it, feel it, we can touch it and we can read it on the food we take in our mouths. It is not that I am happy about it –you can see it, but you have no choice other than to put up with it, because if your are trodden on and you have no means to defend yourself in any shape or form, you have to bear it. Our beloved United Europe, much loved, what ever happens, its idealism is well respected by all that truly loved the EU. We will continue to put up with what ever is thrown at us, we will carry on, continue being an example to the world in that, if we want to be united and at the same time independent, we have to know how to solve...

Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President, I am here dwelling with the question on how can a nation with such a debt and such shaky grounds for war go for it, with such a vast result in cost, death, human devastation and destruction? £515bn cost to the U.S, 4.7m refugees, 31,921 wounded U.S. troops, 113,125 Iraqi civilians deaths and so on and on, enough to make any man sick. This in our 21century is unbearably wrong, how the most advanced country on earth, most powerful, most able, with all the brains any one care to mention at their disposal could go to war? The actual real cost only God knows and those who lost some of there loved ones, possessions, stability. When the U.S. went to war, the country already had a big debt. In the international theatre, they were preparing a much bigger show worldwide, massive...

Euro-disaster?

Not so long ago I listened to a comment where the term “Don Money” was mentioned referring to its power to make an event right even though it was wrong or viceversa. It was Dali the genius of surrealism who “worshiped” the $ as having the power of God. I am not surprised about speculators in the markets and their ways of operating, ruthless sharks of greed, where they let the market dictate who survives and who perishes. So far so good, but institutions which are meant to be the arbitrators and guarantors of valuations like the rating agencies, which are instrumental in the making or destructions of markets, currencies, nations (European turmoil) in the past few weeks, I have to say: It is wrong. The Nations and its economies apply different actions and do no follow any rules but their...

This is the time for Federal States of Europe

We can still hear the shameless reticent news, agreed by the European leaders in the last summit when they are trying to save the European banks, to stabilize Europe and to save Greece from the crisis. Do we have to accept the bank’s kindness of withdrawing 50% of the Greek’s debt with reverence when it was them, who generated most of the crisis, what a cheek! We all know it was the banks negligence for giving unworthy credits during the years of plenty. Lets remember a non European nation, the Argentinean debt situation and the banks annulling most of their debt with private and not so clear interest rates, during the famous years of “financial courtroom” I can see in shame European banking complaining of not having enough capital, as this is one proof of the inability of some European...

The Eurozone

We are seeing an historical event in our European Union that by chance, coincidence and a good deal of international politics, well coordinated by the black forces acting in the background, are slowly undermining half a century of European integration. The “family” is angry, parents dictate, the prodigal son is asked to go, the rest looks down and carries on, neighbours shiver with dismay, the house is still in one piece, the contents alter, they might have to take a body out, feet first, but the system continues. The stock exchange, trade, financial markets continues its speculation, the rating agencies imposes it will, (the beautiful European lady, slowly and surely by the ruthless entities of the World, commences its decline into anonymity) they act like vultures to the smell in...

Is Government/Parliament representing its people or what?

This is always a question in the mind of our citizens, especially when it comes to voting. I cannot help saying that the result is a big disappointment, it keeps failing its people and responsibility laid on them is completely put on one side. Successive political parties keep promising on electioneering time what they are going to do if elected knowing only too well that it will not be done in real time. I never had any doubt in their good intentions, but actions speak louder than words. Today we see World wide protest of discontent, the citizens manifest their feelings, they are not happy with their share, the news is clear, stop telling the people “we together will override the problems” It is not We, it is you, –the people have to put up with Government’s and Parliament’s mismanagement....

Mr Barroso speech

On Wednesday 28 of September 2011, José Manuel Durao Barroso, president of the European Commission gave his speech on the state of the European Union within the debate on the same theme during the European Parliament in Strasburg on the 26 to 29 of September. It was possible to see it on Europarl TV and in twitter with hashtag #soteu. Mr Barroso point out “ Today we are facing the most challenging situation the European Union has ever had in its past history”, and that “ some of our States had lived above their means”, and that “the financial crisis has contributed to making it worse”. You can see more on Ciudadano Morante....
