Saving Private Europe

Well, I suppose you should be fair to the European Project and say that trying to introduce a communist government of Europe without being able to do it all at once, was going to be difficult. Funnily enough, had the Project simply taken over in the Fifties and created the European Soviet Union it would have imploded about now anyway; it would still have been running against reality as indeed did Russia.

But we got the awful slow motion death of Europe by a thousand cuts and a million lies. Today most of its idiocy is laid bare. We are left wondering why this Emperor had a wardrobe, there was nothing to put in it. And there is irony everywhere you look. The EU leadership decide to lie about what they are up to because otherwise no one would put up with it. Then the Greeks lie to those same leaders about their financial situation, to be allowed to join a club and receive its generous 'welfare' payments.

Now that reality has intruded into these plans, Greece is on its knees, struggling to find a political solution to what seems an intractable problem. Intractable to a politician of course. If your intention was to serve your country and its people, the simple expedient of introducing your own currency and taking control and responsibility for it, with a push for economic growth, would be what you would do, today.

It is also a political scare story that Greece dropping out of the Eurozone would be a catastrophe. What is happening currently? 80% of Greek debt has been cancelled but that isn't a problem apparently. So why would the other 20% rock the world? And who says that would go too. And why do Greek need bailouts that dwarf  Marshall Aid, that saved the whole of western Europe?

Of course these bailouts are no such thing. They are just ways of laundering money through Greece, charging interest and then making them give it all to French and German banks. To save them from collapse, from affecting the French and German economies. The only terror in Greece leaving the Euro, is that it shows to other European people that their country too, could escape the madness of the EU. The bureaucrats might lose control, just when they were so close to finally forming their Europe wide dictatorship.
