Goldman Sachs owns both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and Romney will serve the wishes of Goldman Sachs, Wall Street, the Military-Industrial-Complex, and the Pharmacutical-Medical-Insurance-Complex just the same as Barack Obama has for the past 3+ years.
Whichever candidate becomes President of the United States in 2012, they will be owned by Goldman Sachs and they will do the bidding of Goldman Sachs, Wall Street, the Military-Industrial-Complex, and the Pharmacutical-Medical-Insurance-Complex regardless of whatever campaign promises they made to the American voters.
Dear activists for the protection of privacy, dear people from all over the World. We are Anonymous.
We call you to act now against overall Surveillance-Systems. Worldwide governments are about to demolish Privacy with Systems like Trapwire and Indect. Those network surveillance technologies sniff the CCTV cameras, government databases and the Internet to identify people and make a profile of citizens, their families and their socializing.
They pretend to design those systems to secure us against Terrorism but the truth is they have been working on Surveillance-Systems way before the first Terrorists attacks happened.
It's time to act, it's time to show the governments of the World, who we are, it's time to show humanity stands as united, it is time to show what freedom means to us.
We call all Activists over the world, from south and north America, from Asia, from Africa, from Australia and Oceania, from the Arab spring and from the European Union, to be a part of the Protest, against Surveillance Systems.
Act now and spread the word in your mother tongue, enter your Countries and Cities, in the pad linked on the description of this video.
Governments are supposed to defend the interest of their peoples. They are not here to cheat the citizens.
It's our Freedom and our privacy.
Let us unite the whole humanity as one. Let it be the largest protests of the world history. Let us engrave the 20th of October 2012 as a day in the Humanity history!
United We Stand, Divided We Fall.
We are the people We are the only system,
We are Anonymous, We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us
Police pushed the protesters back, and the crowd later marched to nearby Hyde Park.
One protester was reportedly hospitalized with a head injury, and is in stable condition.
Seven ambulances arrived at the demonstration as tensions increased.
Sydney's security forces were prepared for the rally, authorities said, which continued throughout the evening.
Police arrested several demonstrators, local media reported. "We are sick and tired of everyone mocking our beloved prophet," protester Houda Dib told the Australian. "They were aggravating the situation by pushing our brothers. This is supposed to be a peaceful protest."
"They call us the terrorists," demonstrator Sarah Jacob said in a separate interview. "But everyone is terrorizing our people."
Nemysys: We live in a world of MORONS. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, blah blah blah. Until religion is gone from the earth, we will continue to suffer irrationality that leads to chaos, sorrow and death. Grow up people. Please.
Islamo-Thuggery: This has nothing to do with Almighty God. It is about Idolatry for a FALSE prophet!
Those inciting the beheading of people are criminals, plain and simple.
Big-one5: There is no God. Who seen it? When? Where? There is a supreme being that creates life, but not a god of religion nature. There are other organisms thru space that spark life.Also, there were and are other religions that are thousands of years older than God of Christianity or Allah. Are those wrong? Just because some camel herders said otherwise? There are museums of old religions. Greek gods. Roman gods and the list is enormous. They lost faith in those gods and then invented this ones or adopted it. Someday all this religions will be museum pieces. When the world wake up.
Science: Religion is a throwback in human thought and a symptom of a complete lack in comprehending the real workings of the universe. Education would be the answer, but religious zealots, infected with the meme, are afraid of education, for it will destroy their little soother they’re sucking on, their religion!
Religions belong to the dustbin of failed human thought experiments and insidious doctrines to control the masses.
The obtuse hysteria presently gripping the middles east is ample proof of that.
A century of atrocities, illegal wars, invasions, regime change, war crimes, genocide, exploitation, assassinations and much more, by the one and only terrorist nation on the planet, the US, has finally come home to roost. Getting some of their own back in the smallest of measure has them screaming to high heaven, and no doubt will be used as a pretext for further atrocities by the crims in DC.
If the good people of the US would just jettison this criminal gang of terrorists masquerading as politicians; but that would require some courage and action, even revolution, and that’s not forthcoming with the MSM, owned by the crims, having a firm grip on all the little minds.
Wombat: To hell with all these peace loving Muslims! Go back where you came from and kiss your leaders arses. The corrupt Australian leadership is to blame for the present situation in the country. All the good-doers must be paid very good money to sell the country and the hard working Australians to the these dogs (if they are worthy of a dog). I recommend a daily decimation of Canberra politicians, until common sense takes hold again.
ISLAM is SLAVERY: Anyone who pursuits happiness and peace will be murdere or will die because they are not ISLAMIC. Thats the immature thought process of ISLAMIC stone age thinkers, they kill everyone who is not ISLAM and they say they are for peace. Christians left your countries because of your SLAVERY LAWS and yet you bring that same SLAVERY to other free countries and bully everyone else who is not ISLAM over?
Why don't you go attack the Chinese and see what they will do to you ISLAMIC slaves. Go free yourselves and let China and US join forces against you then. Spread your hate, you will be stopped.
Jimmy: If American Governments are so repectful of "Freedom of Speech", then WHY are Americans being arrested and sent to Psychiatric wards at hospitals for expressing viewpoints against the Government,Obama, in particular, in their FACEBOOK accounts???This is happening more frequently, particularly with ex-military individuals...I guess it is their REWARD for serving America!!!
Truth: The USA wants this anarchy for its own political campaigns. They don't care about the loss of lives even if a thousand US troops died tomorrow it is for resources to make their country rich. Israel is a tool for the USA and stole ideas from the Nazis in which they use on the Muslims, who once protected them.
Mike: I'll never understand the way religious minds think. The Pentagon pulls off a false flag terrorism attack on 9/11, blames all Muslims for a crime they never committed, uses it as justification to bomb their countries, yet they hardly stir. However should you insult their imaginary sky fairy then they riot. The Christian minds are equally bizarre.
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - SENATE. 64th CONGRESS, 1st SESSION VOLUME 53, PART 7 Page 6781 25 April 1916
I wish to put in the RECORD the secret treaty of Verona of November 22, 1822, showing what this ancient conflict is between the rule of the few and the rule of the many. I wish to call the attention of the Senate to this treaty because it is the threat of this treaty which was the basis of the Monroe doctrine. It throws a powerful white light upon the conflict between monarchial government and government by the people. The Holy Alliance under the influence of Metternich, the Premier of Austria, in 1822, issued this remarkable secret document :
Senator Robert Latham Owen brings to light a silent Declaration of War against Popular Government, secretly schemed by monarchical nations shortly after the successful American Revolution and America's second successful victory against the British in the War of 1812.
SECRET TREATY OF VERONA
The undersigned, specially authorized to make some additions to the treaty of the Holy Alliance, after having exchanged their respective credentials, have agreed as follows :
ARTICLE 1. The high contracting powers being convinced that the system of representative govern- ment is egually as incompatible with the monarchial principles as the maxim of the sovereignty of the people with the high devine right, engage mutually in the most solemn manner, to use all their efforts to put an end to the system of representative governments, in whatever country it may exhist in Europe, and to prevent its being introduced in those countries where it is not yet known.
ART. 2. As it can not be doubted that the liberty of the press is the most powerful means used by the pretended supporters of the rights of nations to the detrement of those princes, the high contracting parties promise reciprocally to adopt all proper measures to suppress it, not only in their own states but also in the rest of Europe.
ART. 3. Convinced that the principles of religion contribute most powerfully to keep nations in the state of passive obedience which they owe to their princes, the high contracting parties declare it to be their intention to sustain in their respective States those measures which the clergy may adopt, with the aim of ameliorating their own interests, so intimately connected with the preservation of the authority of the princes ; and the contracting powers join in offering their thanks to the Pope for what he has already done for them, and solicit his constant cooperation in their views of submitting the nations.
ART. 4. The situation of Spain and Portugal unite unhappily all the circumstances to which this treaty has particular reference. The high contracting parties, in confiding to France the care of putting an end to them, engaged to assist her in the manner which may the least compromit them with their own people and the people of France by means of a subsidy on the part of the two empires of 20,000,000 of francs every year from the date of the signature of this treaty to the end of the war.
ART. 5. In order to establish in the Peninsula the order of things which exhisted before the revolution of Cadiz, and to insure the entire execution of the articles of the present treaty, the high contracting parties give to each other the reciprocal assurance that as long as their views are not fulfilled, rejecting all other ideas of utility or other measure to be taken, they will address themselves with the shortest possible delay to all the authorities exhisting in their States and to all their agents in foreign countries, with the view to establish connections tending toward the accomplishment of the objects proposed by this treaty.
ART. 6. This treaty shall be renewed with such changes as new circumstances may give occasion for, either at a new congress or at the court of one of the contracting parties, as soon as the war with Spain shall be terminated.
ART. 7. The present treaty shall be ratified and the ratifications exchanged at Paris within the space of six months.
Made at Verona the 22d November, 1822.

I ask to have printed in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD this secret treaty, because I think it ought to be called now to the attention of the people of the United States and of the world. This evidence of the conflict between the rule of the few verses popular government should be emphasized on the minds of the people of the United States, that the conflict now waging throughout the world may be more clearly understood, for after all said the great pending war springs from the weakness and frailty of government by the few, where human error is far more probable than the error of the many where aggressive war is only permitted upon the authorizing vote of those whose lives are jeopardized in the trenches of modern war.
Mr. SHAFROTH. Mr. President, I should like to have the senator state whether in that treaty there was not a coalition formed between the powerful countries of Europe to reestablish the sovereignty of Spain in the Republics of South and Central America?
Mr. OWEN. I was just going to comment upon that, and I am going to take but a few moments to do so because I realize the preasure of other matters. This Holy Alliance, having put a Bourbon prince upon the throne of France by force, then used France to suppress the constitution of Spain immediately afterwards, and by this very treaty gave her a subsidy of 20,000,000 francs annually to enable her to wage war upon the people of Spain and to prevent their exercise of any measure of the right of self-government. The Holy Alliance immediately did the same thing in Italy, by sending Austrian troops to Italy, where the people there attempted to exercise a like measure of liberal constitutional self-government ; and it was not until the printing press, which the Holy Alliance so stoutly opposed, taught the people of Europe the value of liberty that finally one country after another seized a greater and greater right of self government, until now it may be fairly said that nearly all the nations of Europe have a very large measure of self government. However, I wish to call the attention of the Senate and the country to this important history in the growth of constitutional popular self-government. The Holy Alliance made its powers felt by the wholesale drastic suppression of the press in Europe, by universal censorship, by killing free speech and all ideas of popular rights, and by the complete suppression of popular government. The Holy Alliance having destroyed popular government in Spain and in Italy, had well-laid plans also to destroy popular government in the American colonies which had revolted from Spain and Portugal in Central and South America under the influence of the successful example of the United States. It was because of this conspiracy against the American Republics by the Europian monarchies that the great English statesman, Canning, called the attention of our government to it, and our statesmen then, including Thomas Jefferson, took an active part to bring about the declaration by President Monroe in his next annual message to the Congress of the United States that the United States should regard it as an act of hostility to the government of the United States and an unfriendly act if this coalition or if any power of Europe ever undertook to establish upon the American Continent any control of any American Republic or to acquire any territorial rights. This is the so-called Monroe doctrine. The threat under the secret treaty of Verona to suppress popular governments in the American Republics is the basis of the Monroe doctrine. This secret treaty sets forth clearly the conflict between monarchial government and popular government and the government of the few as against the government of the many. It is a part, in reality, of developing popular sovereignty when we demand for women equal rights to life, to liberty, to the possession of property, to an equal voice in the making of the laws and the administration of the laws. This demand on the part of the women is made by men, and it ought to be made by men as well as by thinking, progressive women, as it will promote human liberty and human happiness. I sympathize with it, and I hope that all parties will in the national conventions give their approval to this larger measure of liberty to the better half of the human race.
6. The experience we have had, has made us acquainted with the many advantages that have been taken by the Society of its intervention in the marriages of the House of Austria, and of those which have been effected in other kingdoms, France, Poland, and in various duchies. Forasmuch assembling, proposing with prudence, selecting choice persons who may be friends and families of the relatives, and of the friends of the Society. 7. It will be easy to gain the princesses, making use of their valets; by that coming to feed and nourish with relations of friendship, by being located at the entrance in all parts, and thus become acquainted with the most intimate secrets of the familiars.Secret Instructions of The Company of Jesus: Chapter II.
Riporto una serie di considerazioni, tra loro pure contrastanti, e dati alla mano fate le vostre considerazioni anche se nessun politico o banchiere ve le ha chieste dato che la crisi la gestiscono loro mentre noi paghiamo. Dioni
Non bastava dunque il MES, il Meccanismo Europeo di Stabilità, la cui entrata in vigore è definitiva dato che ieri è stato approvato dalla Corte Costituzionale tedesca, dopo essere stato approvato a luglio in italia. Non era sufficiente neppure il Fiscal Compact, o meglio il pareggio di bilancio, che trasforma un’entità illegittima – il debito – in una leva costituzionale bastevole a giustificare qualunque tipo di provvedimento che il governo di turno decida di calare sulle teste degli Italiani.
Ora l’Unione Europea sforna l’ERF, European Redemption Fund, o per meglio dire il Fondo Europeo di Redenzione (o Riscatto). Il 13 giugno scorso infatti il Parlamento europeo ha approvato, con il voto su due risoluzioni, il regolamento per il rafforzamento della governance dell’UE, si tratta quindi di ratificarlo nei singoli paesi.
L’European redemption fund (Erf) farebbe confluire l’importo dei vari debiti pubblici degli Stati dell’Eurozona per la parte eccedente il 60% del PIL in un apposito fondo; l’Erf verrebbe garantito dagli Stati nazionali membri attraverso i loro asset pubblici e da almeno una percentuale di tasse riscosse a livello nazionale. Tale fondo, poi, emetterebbe bonds europei caratterizzati da una rigorosa scadenza di 20, massimo 25 anni. In questo lasso di tempo, tutti gli Stati aderenti avrebbero, inoltre, l’obbligo di assettare il proprio rapporto debito/PIL al 60%. Ci troviamo di fronte, quindi, ad un fondo la cui esistenza è temporaneamente limitata e che comunque deve essere completamente rimborsato dagli Stati membri alla fine della sua durata. Da questa soluzione (che non implicherebbe la riformulazione dei Trattati esistenti o la scrittura di nuovi, ma che può essere concretizzata mediante semplici intese) Paesi come l’Italia dovrebbero ricevere il vantaggio di pagare nel complesso interessi sul debito relativamente bassi, mentre Paesi come la Germania dovrebbero sopportare costi maggiori rispetto agli attuali per finanziare interamente il relativo debito.
Proprio al fine di compensare questo sbilanciamento, i Paesi finanziariamente ed economicamente più solidi pretenderebbero in cambio un rispetto vero e proprio degli impegni presi. L’Italia, ad esempio, sarebbe tenuta a perseguire scrupolosamente un percorso finanziario ben delineato al fine di portarla nei tempi stabiliti al 60% del rapporto debito/PIL, ed i miglioramenti in materia verrebbero annualmente ed accuratamente valutati. Se ci dovesse essere un allontanamento dalla “retta via” non è affatto esclusa, come extrema ratio, l’ipotesi di cacciata dal fondo … tutto questo perlomeno in teoria.
In cambio dell’obbligo (controllato a vista da ispettori) a pagare una sorta di mega mutuo per azzerare il debito sopra il 60% esso offre tassi quasi tedeschi, si stima circa 80-100 punti base sopra il Bund, forse addirittura zero.
Non è poco, si tratta di uno sconto gigantesco rispetto ai tassi che l’Italia ha sempre pagato sul suo debito, solo che questa volta vanno restituite anche quote di capitale.
Considerazioni sull’ERF di Rischiocalcolato.it
Qui bisogna intendersi su una questione fondamentale: Vogliamo ridurre il nostro debito pubblico oppure no e fare una bancarotta classica ( o uscire dall’euro etc etc)?
Come sapete io penso che il modo corretto e meno doloroso di uscire dalla tenaglia del debito sia pagarlo, dunque non riesco a giudicare il redemption fund in termini negativi, ed anzi lo vedo come uno strumento eccezionalmente conveniente per gestire il nostro debito pubblico. Ovviamente il rischio sta nell’escussione della garanzia. Cioè se l’Italia ritardasse o non effettuasse i pagamenti previsti scatterebbero clausole automatiche sul nostro patrimonio. (si ipotizza che ad esempio,che l’oro fisico di ciascuna banca centrale europea venga trasferito temporaneamente alla BCE la quale farebbe da garante e da “banco” per punire chi sgarra).
Peraltro il redemption fund, deresponsabilizerebbe la nostra scassata classe politica in senso positivo, cioè il Bersani di turno se la potrebbe comodamente prendere col redemption fund ( e i soliti cattivi tedeschi) ove dovesse prendere decisioni impopolari.
Al solito la differenza verrà fatta da COME il redemption fund verrà pagato, ovvero se dalla leva fiscale oppure dai tagli di spesa e dalla cessione di patrimonio pubblico improduttivo (perchè in mano allo Stato).
Risoluzioni approvate
La prima risoluzione (clicca qui), denominata Gauzes, dal nome del relatore, è stata approvata con il 73% dei voti a favore (qui è possibile vedere il dettaglio) e ha messo nero su bianco un principio da far accapponare la pelle: l’assoggettamento a tutela giuridica di uno Stato membro (a decorrere dal 2017). Ciò significa che ‘le autorità dello Stato membro interessato attuano le misure raccomandate (dalle istituzioni europee, NdA) relative all’assistenza tecnica (…) e presentano alla Commissione un piano di ripresa e di liquidazione dei debiti per approvazione. Cioè il Governo nazionale perde ogni tipo di potere decisionale e operativo; in altre parole lo Stato è privato totalmente della propria sovranità. In altri termini potremmo dire che è commissariato. Formalmente occupato dall’esercito della grande finanza internazionale. Nessun complottismo, dunque…è una vera e propria dittatura dell’euro e dell’UE. Non a caso, l’ex presidente Cossiga si esprimeva in questi termini: “l’organizzazione politica più antidemocratica che esiste oggi al mondo è l’Unione Europea. (…) se uno stato sovrano si fosse dato un’organizzazione istituzionale come quella dell’UE saremmo scesi tutti quanti in piazza. Armati.”
La risoluzione Ferreira (clicca qui), approvata con il 74% dei voti favorevoli (vedi qui), stringe il cappio, introducendo appunto il nuovo fondo, l’ERF – il Fondo Europeo di Redenzione (o Riscatto). Tecnicamente, è l’articolo 6 quinquies a definire il biblico provvedimento, ‘al fine di ridurre il debito eccessivo nell’arco di un periodo di 25 anni’. Gli Stati membri dovrebbero trasferire ‘gli importi debitori superiori al 60% del PIL all’ERF nell’arco di un periodo di avviamento di 5 anni’, attuare ‘una strategia di consolidamento di bilancio e un’agenda di riforme strutturali’,costituire ‘garanzie per coprire adeguatamente i prestiti concessi dall’ERF’, ridurre ‘i rispettivi disavanzi strutturali durante il periodo di avviamento per rispettare le norme di bilancio’. Il passaggio sicuramente più insidioso è quello relativo alle garanzie: secondo gli analisti tedeschi, l’Italia dovrebbe partecipare al fondo con la quota più grande (40%), ovvero oltre 950 miliardi di euro. Per coprire il prestito dell’ERF, l’Italia potrebbe essere costretta a cedere (almeno per 25 anni) una frazione più o meno cospicua del gettito delle imposte nazionali, a vendere una parte del patrimonio (asset) pubblico, a dare in pegno le proprie riserve auree e di valuta estera. Perdendo tutto, nel caso non riesca a onorare il prestito dell’ERF. Siamo dunque in un nuovo circolo vizioso: riforme strutturali e ripianamento di un debito illegittimo, attraverso un nuovo ricorso a prestito (ovvio, no?! secondo la logica degli usurai è infatti normale che una persona indebitata faccia ricorso a nuovi prestiti!). Ma questa volta gli strozzini vogliono garanzie a copertura: ci penseranno le nostre tasse e il patrimonio del nostro paese.
Il Parlamento Europeo (con poche lodevoli eccezioni) fiancheggia dunque, più o meno ignaro, le istituzioni antidemocratiche europee, come la Commissione e la BCE, e aiuta le banche e la finanza mondiale a dissanguarci, attraverso il nuovo Fondo Europeo di Redenzione.
Parliamoci chiaro: se ci sembrava essere di aver raggiunto il fondo con le ‘raccomandazioni’ poco amorevoli dell’UE, il pareggio di bilancio, il meccanismo europeo di stabilità, dobbiamo cambiare idea: l’ERF ci sta traghettando all’inferno. Non abbiamo scuse: solo noi possiamo realmente ‘redimerci’, riscattarci come cittadini, affrancandoci da questa Europa e dai partiti complici e conniventi con banche e grande finanza. Solo poi possiamo liberarci dalla dittatura del Dio denaro.
Considerazioni di WallStreetItalia.com
Ma quali sarebbero per noi le conseguenze e quali i vantaggi di un simile scenario? Il team londinese di Mediobanca Securities, guidato da Antonio Guglielmi, tenta di rispondere al quesito con una simulazione che si basa su alcune assunzioni: un costo di rifinanziamento dell’Erf pari al 3,25% annuo, un tasso di crescita reale medio annuo del Pil, nell’eurozona, di 1/1,5 punti percentuali, e un tasso di inflazione non oltre il 2%.
Il Fondo, nel modello elaborato, avrebbe, dal momento della costituzione, una vita residua di 25/30 anni, periodo sufficiente a “redimere” le quote eccedenti. Per l’Italia si tratta di conferire la porzione maggiore, pari a circa 950 miliardi di euro: circa il 40% del totale, che ammonterebbe a 2.300 miliardi qualora dal Fondo venissero esclusi i paesi già sotto tutela congiunta di Fmi e Ue (Portogallo, Irlanda, Grecia).
I vantaggi sarebbero consistenti: per la quota conferita, il paese trarrebbe risparmi sul rifinanziamento di 24 miliardi l’anno (1,5% del Pil). Ne godremmo più della Spagna (0,3% del Pil) in virtù del peso minore della quota madrilena, mentre la Germania dovrebbe sopportare un extra-costo pari allo 0,4% del prodotto.
Ma non è tutto oro quel che luccica: i paesi aderenti sarebbero sottoposti a una stretta condizionalità: una parte delle entrate fiscali dovrebbe esser destinata a ripagare le quote in maturazione dello stock trasferito, in modo da annullare il carico totale nei termini stabiliti.
Gli stati dovrebbero anche immobilizzare collaterali a garanzia dell’Erf, pari almeno al 20% dell’importo confluito. Il collaterale verrebbe “sbloccato” solo ad “espiazione” raggiunta.
Mediobanca stima che, per l’Italia, durante i primi anni di attività dell’Erf, circa l’8% delle entrate fiscali dovrebbe essere asservito al meccanismo di redenzione, ma la percentuale si ridurrebbe con il passare degli anni, riducendosi a meno del 3% nell’ultimo decennio di vita del Fondo.
In termini di budget, i vincoli alle spese sarebbero stringenti. E i tagli draconiani: se l’Erf fosse entrato in vigore nel 2011, il Belpaese avrebbe dovuto sforbiciare la spesa di ben 16 punti percentuali, mentre necessiterebbe di un avanzo primario pari – in media – al 4% annuo, per più di due decenni, al fine di redimere interamente la propria quota.
Basti pensare che, con i sacrifici sostenuti dagli italiani nel 2011, l’avanzo al netto degli interessi è stato pari all’1% del Pil. Certo, si tratta pur sempre di una stima, ma indicativa dei costi approssimativi di una simile strategia.
L’Italia, nel passato, ha già dato dimostrazione di poter mantenere avanzi primari per periodi prolungati, ma bloccare il bilancio per quasi tre decenni sembra una sfida di portata immane, anche dal punto di vista politico.
Per questo, secondo Guglielmi, un piano di drastica riduzione dello stock del debito, da effettuare per mezzo di cessioni del patrimonio pubblico, potrebbe affiancare l’Erf, riducendo il rigore di bilancio anno per anno, e i sacrifici per i contribuenti.
Considerazioni di Byoblu.com
Ecco la trascrizione del video.
Si chiama pignoramento dello stipendio, e molti di voi la conoscono come quella pratica odiosa cui un creditore può ricorrere per farsi pagare. Per dirla in parole povere: quel che guadagni ti viene decurtato di un quinto o di un terzo a vita, o fino a quando il debito non sia stato ripianato. E’ odiosa perché, in qualche modo, seppure matematicamente sia a somma zero, non aggredisce il tuo patrimonio, ma ti toglie direttamente il futuro, per cui ti regala la sgradevole sensazione di essere un condannato nel braccio della morte, che vive solo per attendere l’ora della sua uccisione.
Dopo avere ideato fondi di stabilizzazione nei quali iniettiamo decine di miliardi; dopo avere ideato un meccanismo di stabilità per il quale pagheremo 8 miliardi entro l’anno e centinaia in prospettiva; dopo avere deciso che noi italiani dobbiamo pagare 20 miliardi per le banche spagnole, indebitandoci al posto loro, oggi le politiche strozza-popoli di quel nodo scorsoio economico nel quale si è trasformata l’Europa ne stanno inventando un’altra.
Si chiama European Redemption Fund (ERF per gli amici), cioè Fondo di Redenzione (nel senso di estinzione) Europeo. L’idea è che, siccome siamo stati cattivi, ora dobbiamo essere redenti, come se ci fosse poi un unto del Signore in grado di confessare gli stati e comminare il giusto numero di Ave Marie economiche. Il peccato capitale è il debito pubblico. Fa niente che sia divenuto il male assoluto solo perché ci hanno tolto gli strumenti per rifinanziarcelo da soli, ovvero la sovranità monetaria: deve calare sotto al 60% del Pil e basta. Ma come fare? Difficile, in un momento in cui vige la religione dell’austerity, alla quale come monaci autoflagellanti ci imponiamo di obbedire - chissà, forse nella speranza di guadagnarci un posto nel paradiso dei neoliberisti -: le tasche sono vuote e sotto al materasso non c’è più niente.
Ci voleva il colpo di genio. E la brillante idea è arrivata. Così hanno preso spunto da quelle società finanziarie che prima ricoprono lo sprovveduto e incauto cittadino di soldi spesso non richiesti e poi, quando è in difficoltà, procedono a pignorargli lo stipendio a vita. E qual è lo stipendio di uno Stato? Sono le sue entrate fiscali, naturalmente. Perché dunque non pignorare le tasse degli stati con un debito pubblico superiore al 60% del Pil per una ventina di anni? Secondo Goldman Sachs, si tratta di ragionare su qualcosa come 1541 miliardi per la Germania, 1193 per la Francia, 954 per l’Italia, 652 per la Spagna, 364 per l’Olanda, 225 per il Belgio e 181 per l’Austria. Si parte con 2,3 miliardi di euro in totale. Certo, per garantire il fondo, gli stati beneficiari del pignoramento (sembra un ossimoro: uno che beneficia dalla sua stessa confisca dello stipendio) dovranno tirare fuori le proprie riserve di oro (guarda un po’), che sono l’unica certezza rimasta, visto che il metallo prezioso è la sola valuta universalmente accettata e che non dipende dai giochetti computerizzati di questi nerds dell’alta finanza, che dopo gli accordi di Bretton Woods hanno potuto sbizzarrirsi con le loro funamboliche masturbazioni monetarie. Una volta messo finalmente l’oro sul piatto, loro procedono a pignorarci le entrate tributarie fino al 2035 o giù di lì. E se le tasse non bastano (sai com’è, c’è l’austerity)? ZAC: via l’oro! Loro chi? Non si sa, esattamente come non si sa quali organizzazioni finanziarie gestiranno il MES, il Meccanismo Europeo di Stabilità sul quale non potremo avere informazioni perché i documenti saranno secretati e inviolabili, tranne che dovremo dargli almeno 125 miliardi: questa è l’unica informazione che ci viene gentilmente concessa.
Wolfgang Schäuble, il ministro delle finanze tedesco, ha già detto che non si può fare, perché l’ERF violerebbe i trattati europei, i quali sostengono che nessun paese può essere considerato responsabile del debito pubblico di un altro. Curioso, veramente curioso, visto che è dall’inizio della crisi che non facciamo altro che indebitarci per salvare altri paesi dai loro debiti, e ora perfino le banche dai loro stessi debiti. Ma forse Schäuble intendeva dire che è alla Germania che i trattati impediscono di essere responsabile verso le sue colonie, visto che se partisse il Redemption Fund gli spread (secondo gli analisti che notoriamente ci azzeccano sempre) si stringerebbero parecchio, e i tedeschi non potrebbero più recuperare soldi freschi a interessi virtualmente zero sulle spalle degli altri, avvantaggiandosi di un tasso di accrescimento industriale che dal 1999 al 2010 è passato dallo 0,9% al 9%, di una disoccupazione che nello stesso periodo è scesa dal 10,5% al 7,4% per toccare il 6,7% di quest’anno e di un tasso di crescita del Pil partito all’1,5% e finito due anni fa al 3,5%. Invece, se partisse l’ERF, costerebbe qualcosa come lo 0,6% del Pil tedesco per ogni anno di pignoramento. E loro a queste cose ci tengono.

The Windsor, or double Windsor knot, is named after the Duke of Windsor, who made this tie knot popular. The double Windsor knot is the ideal choice for dress shirts with wide collar spread. If you need to fill that gap of a shark or Kent collar, choose this knot! The double Windsor necktie knot is a very popular knot, but it will also require some practice; therefore it is more suitable for the experienced tie wearer.
Did you know that the double Windsor is the most popular tie knot but also the knot that most men do not how to tie properly? Well, I hope that that the instructions below will help you master this tie knot.
If you like larger knots for your ties, just as they are popular in most parts of Europe, then the double Windsor is your knot. It is a very symmetric tie knot with a triangular shape. Although learning how to tie a double Windsor tie knot is a little trickier than other knots, it is quite simple to master if you follow the steps below. If you are still uncertain on tying the double Windsor, then you may want to view my How to Tie a Windsor Knot Video.
Instructions on How to Tie the Double Windsor Knot:
The double Windsor knot requires you to wrap the wide part twice around the narrow part. This means that more length of the tie is required. Start by placing the tie around your neck with enough length showing on the wide side of the necktie. Place the wide part across, and above the narrow part of the tie at a 90 degree angle.
Just like with the half Windsor tie knot, pull the wide part through the loop on the right side of your collar.
Then pull the wide side of the tie back behind the narrow part.
To make a double Windsor knot out of the half Windsor, do the same on the left side. Pull the half finished Windsor knot tight so both wrappings stay in place. Tip: Overlap both wrappings so that a triangular and symmetric shape appears.
Hold the loop open that you created on the last wrapping with your left hand, and pull the wide end of the necktie through the loop.
Slowly pull the Windsor tight.
Tighten the tie and flip down your shirts collars. Tying a double Windsor knot takes a little bit of practice. The most common mistake people make when tying a double Windsor knot, is in step 4. Make sure you overlap both wrappings. This ensures that the gap between both wrappings is closed which will prevent the tie from sliding into this gap. If this happens, the tie will not be centered on the Windsor.

This ensures that the gap between both wrappings is closed which will prevent the tie from sliding into this gap. If this happens, the tie will not be centered on the Windsor. If this is the case, open the tie knot and start from step 1.
The tie is tied too short. Since the double Windsor knot requires two wrappings, you need to leave more length for the wide side of the tie. If this continues to be a problem then you might be too tall (above 6’3”) or have a wider neck. In your case, it is advisable to purchase extra long ties that are about 2-3 inches longer than a regular necktie. Common extra long ties measure about 59”-61”.
If the illustration wasn’t enough to teach you the double Windsor knot, then these video instructions might help. I suggest you take a few minutes to watch this video a few times. Then print out our instructions and start practicing the double Windsor in front of a mirror. I suggest you use an older and cheaper necktie until you have mastered this popular tie knot.

Something really strange appears to be happening. All over the globe, governments and big banks are acting as if they are anticipating an imminent financial collapse.
Unfortunately, we are not privy to the quiet conversations that are taking place in corporate boardrooms and in the halls of power in places such as Washington D.C. and London, so all we can do is try to make sense of all the clues that are all around us. Of course it is completely possible to misinterpret these clues, but sticking our heads in the sand is not going to do any good either. Last week, it was revealed that the U.S. government has been secretly directing five of the biggest banks in America "to develop plans for staving off collapse" for the last two years. By itself, that wouldn't be that big of a deal. But when you add that piece to the dozens of other clues of imminent financial collapse, a very troubling picture begins to emerge. Over the past 12 months, hundreds of banking executives have been resigning, corporate insiders have been selling off enormous amounts of stock, and I have been personally told that a significant number of Wall Street bankers have been shopping for "prepper properties" in rural communities this summer. Meanwhile, there have been reports that the U.S. government has been stockpiling food and ammunition, and Barack Obama has been signing a whole bunch of executive orders that would potentially be implemented in the event of a major meltdown of society. So what does all of this mean? It could mean something or it could mean nothing. What we do know is that a financial collapse is coming at some point. Over the past 40 years, the total amount of all debt in the United States has grown from about 2 trillion dollars to nearly 55 trillion dollars. That is a recipe for financial armageddon, and it is inevitable that this gigantic bubble of debt is going to burst at some point.
In normal times, the U.S. government does not tell major banks to "develop plans for staving off collapse".
But according to a recent Reuters article, that is apparently exactly what has been happening....
U.S. regulators directed five of the country's biggest banks, including Bank of America Corp and Goldman Sachs Group Inc, to develop plans for staving off collapse if they faced serious problems, emphasizing that the banks could not count on government help.
The two-year-old program, which has been largely secret until now, is in addition to the "living wills" the banks crafted to help regulators dismantle them if they actually do fail. It shows how hard regulators are working to ensure that banks have plans for worst-case scenarios and can act rationally in times of distress.
