    Great post and I have commented... I'm enjoying Ephilant's updates on Greece enormously and am very impressed by them. Great addition to the forum.
    Think National. Act Local. Oh- and superstition is just the dark matter of human history.

    Great article. Deserves a wide readership.
    The working class people of Germany are not escaping this onslaught. This Class War.
    From contacts in Germany I know how hard the ordinary German person is being exploited. The gulf between the elite (including IT workers, in demand…….. for now.) and other sectors of society is at its widest in living memory. One of the things I admired most about Germany was their common sense cooperation. Management being open and honest with unions and all involved in a company cooperating, not trying to make eejits out of each other, which is standard procedure here. I am told that that cooperation is now under threat. Unpaid overtime and “mini jobs” are now becoming common.
    Low wages, like 5 euro an hour are being paid.
    Previously good jobs like in the post office are now ruined.
    It really is now a case of the workers of Europe hanging together or else the elite will hang us separately.
    But in Ireland.
    FF is coming back.
    More fight in the Greek Orthodox Church than the Irish trade Unions.
    “Our” government captive of the international financial and legal hegemony.
    Lads and Lassies, lets face it, were fcuked.

    At the end of the day, it is the elites that are f U cked.

    People today are better educated and much more intelligent than the poor unfortunates that were conscripted into armies and died for Kings, Bankers and Dictators.

    That will never happen again.

    Kings and Dictators have lost their Crowns.

    Bankers will have to suffer their losses eventually. Intelligent people will feed their families before they will repay debt.

    WW3 is probably the last piece to be removed from the jigsaw.
