As always Jim your response is to instantly ridicule instead of to ask the person for further clarification
Symbols are very important. They are often the product of the unconscious mind
Corporations all use symbols and they all have significance....i'd recommend further study in that area as it might shed some more light for you on some of these issues
[mods]stay on topic please, and stop trying to shoehorn global conspiracies and comparisons between nato and the nazi's into a thread about the euro, perhaps a new thread would be a better place for that[/mods]
I think Europe is holding its breath to see if the Spanish, Italian and Greek economies will pull through -- I'm very optimistic. They have been given the means, and they know the gravity of the situation. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
The topic is whether or not the euro is about to implode.....if you want to discuss that matter then you have to look at what the dynamics are and what peoples motivations are...why things are happening.....because the moves being made by banks and countries at the moment are a total break from any recognised forms of economics for example keynesian thought and at some point you have to ask yourself WHY?
The political left believe that there is a move by concentrated capital to buy up countries assets in order to create a capitalist consumer neoliberal world which they will control. The political right think that there is a cabal of global speculators who are trying to create a centralised economy that they will control
Both sides are right and a discussion about the euro that does not take these into account is like a discussion about why the second world war started without mentioning the nazis! ie a big misleading joke!
If however the threadstarter doesn't want me in this thread i'm happy to leave it....if he asks me directly
Here's the latest episode of the keiser report which discusses some of the things i've already mentioned in this thread
In the second half of the show there is an interview from roughly 15:00 which mentions the idea being bandied around the G20 at the moment which would see the IMF styled as a new central bank that would issue a new currency 'the special drawing right'.
This move would be the further centralisation of power that we have seen with each successive crisis
It might be easy to dismiss me as 'paranoid' or a 'conspiracy theorist' but it might be less easy to dismiss this former wall street stock broker and the russian economist he interviews
I was also right in my prediction earlier in the thread about too many Greek people voting conservatively as the pro-austerity parties have received enough votes to form a coalition government. In the KR interview however they discuss the idea that Greece will default anyway
So to tie in everything i've said: yes the euro will end and the bankers and the global investors will seek to centralise control over the global economy even more and will seek to buy up struggling countries assets with the money we have given them in bailouts leaving us with the debt and them owning everything (unless they are opposed)
