It's from Woodrow Wilson's memoirs. House said this to him during a meeting around the time of the setup of the Federal Reserve.

Instead of listening to the people, politicians in pretty much every country in the EU, except for Ireland, decide to do a backdoor deal of sorts. Politicians in Ireland followed their constitutional mandate and had a public referendum on the adoption of the treaty (constitution) and, just like everywhere else in Europe that did the same prior, it was voted DOWN by the people. You criticize this and referring to it as "a kick in the ass"? Sorry, but you sound like a fucking fascist :2 cents:

sigh... why the name calling? people can have opposite opinions without insulting each other on a personal level. at least I can. and this is really the first time in 37 years that someone calls me facist. it's almost funny.

here's the point: 99% of the people have no clue what the topic is about. public referendums are usually won by the party that screams louder but not necessaribly has the more reasonable points. this is why i don't like them. i still know that governments are by far not perfect, but still the chances that decisions are not influenced by short term marketing campaigns are much higher.

So ignore the "fascist" remark and tell me where I am wrong in the rest of what I wrote. Because it seems to me you are trying to say that the people of Europe should not have a voice in matters of national sovereignty because the EU political elite know what is best for them.

Wrong,

We're talking about the fact that someone went to a risky venture to earn a little bit more, and the timing was far from ideal, but it has nothing to do with the relation between banks and its customers and any "lending standards".

The access to credit in US and Europe can't be compared at any level, so can't be compared the consumer spending habits.

Just for illustration, for example in this worst, extremely boring pseudo socialistic shithole where I live now, the banks are making 53 pct. of their profit on small fees (meaning that you get charged for withdrawing money, getting a statement to your adress etc.) so they're making more from holding your money than from lending money.

Not to overlook the fact who was actually financing the whole Irish anti Lisbon treaty campaign.

No, I never fucked a communist, yet.

I'm just a pathological cynic and have a little interest in the modern history.

I've also studied statistics among other things and worked with the government in the past.

These two things make me die hard sure those numbers are nowhere near relevant, it's just something to feed the masses with and to fill the "stats".

There are no relevant or accurate statistics in this world unless you provide them on your own and for something you have access to ALL the data and input.

Agression and hate is something I deeply love and practice, you should try to think too though - the risk of ownage is too high!

I had a number of investments in the area. I was involved with one of the larger investment funds in Eastern Europe, which had over $100 million dollars. I have a large number of friends who have or had similar funds throughout the Baltic States, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria and Germany. I have spent a considerable amount of time living throughout Europe and specifically Eastern Europe the last 10 years. My wife is also from Eastern Europe originally and I know the problems the majority of her family is having right now being buried in debt and completely out of work. I have met numerous times with top executives of the Baltic divisions of the 2 largest Swedish banks in the area. So I can say with some authority that you are wrong about the lax lending standards, personal debt and the problems the banks are having.

Bingo. Poland's problem are not given CREDITS themeselves. It's the foreign companies that need their invested cash back RIGHT NOW. That's why the national currencies are so depreciated so quickly. It looks like Eastern Europe is taking a part in 'save the ass' of all those big financial companies.

I can fucking connect the dots well enough to know that you are a fucking idiot. Your idiotic delusional nonsense about the Federal Reserve is annoying enough when that is the topic but that is not the case here. I am well aware that you believe every single fucking thing that happens is part of a well orchestrated global conspiracy run by the Jews or the Illuminati or fucking lizards or whatever by I am sick and fucking tired of you sticking your paranoid simplistic bullshit into every thread.

Anyone who has ever left their apartment for even a few minutes and who can interact with other people without a heavy does of Lithium knows that the world is composed of competing interest groups and who are in a constant state of conflict, hence well orchestrated global conspiracies are not possible. Anyone who pays taxes or has dealings with any government agency in any country knows that government bureaucracies are barely capable of collecting taxes and then giving it away to their friends. There is not a government agency on the planet capable of keeping a big secret or operating in an efficient or stealthy manner. Even the fucking NKVD had to execute a bunch of its agents every few years to keep people quiet.

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."

I understand the voices in your head tell you otherwise but why don't you take your medication, get out of your basement and take a walk in the park or something. At a bare minimum please shut the fuck up. If that is not possible go post on prison planet or democratic underground where everyone will applaud your stupidity and tell you what a fucking genius you are. :disgust

This is false. Two years ago in Latvia anyone with a job on the books could quite easily get a loan with monthly payments up to 2/3 of their salary. Someone making 600 LVL per month ($1200) could buy a $40,000 car. Now there are so many cars loans under water in Latvia that the finance companies are not even repossessing them since there are no buyers at any price. All those loans are non performing and are held by European banks (mostly Swedish). That does not even hold a candle to the amount of real estate loans that are under water.

Law difference I think. That's why you cant put Latvia and Poland in the same bag when it comes to crisis. Seems each country is affected in different way.

Because for decades we have exported jobs and manufacturing, imported anything we can that's 5% cheaper than producing it at home, run it on the basis that we can keep borrowing and the finance sector will earn enough to save us.

We now know that sector over priced every thing it could so it could pay itself massive bonuses. Little of which will be clawed back.

Someone making 600 LVL per month ($1200) could buy a $40,000 car. Now there are so many cars loans under water in Latvia that the finance companies are not even repossessing them since there are no buyers at any price. All those loans are non performing and are held by European banks (mostly Swedish). That does not even hold a candle to the amount of real estate loans that are under water.

This was happening in more places than Latvia, for instance the UK was giving out mortgages no one could repay in a good economy. So the bankers could earn bonuses based on the debt portfolios. And most people were buying into the system. Look at your debts and tell me they are manageable. Even if you keep your present income.

Then think in terms of it dropping 15%.

We built a house on sand and guess what happened when the tide came in?

"BRUSSELS ? German Chancellor Angela Merkel has rejected calls for a multibillion-euro bailout plan for eastern European Union member states."

Your idiotic delusional nonsense about the Federal Reserve is annoying enough when that is the topic but that is not the case here. I am well aware that you believe every single fucking thing that happens is part of a well orchestrated global conspiracy run by the Jews or the Illuminati or fucking lizards or whatever by I am sick and fucking tired of you sticking your paranoid simplistic bullshit into every thread.

Anyone who has ever left their apartment for even a few minutes and who can interact with other people without a heavy does of Lithium knows that the world is composed of competing interest groups and who are in a constant state of conflict, hence well orchestrated global conspiracies are not possible. Anyone who pays taxes or has dealings with any government agency in any country knows that government bureaucracies are barely capable of collecting taxes and then giving it away to their friends. There is not a government agency on the planet capable of keeping a big secret or operating in an efficient or stealthy manner. Even the fucking NKVD had to execute a bunch of its agents every few years to keep people quiet.

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."

I understand the voices in your head tell you otherwise but why don't you take your medication, get out of your basement and take a walk in the park or something. At a bare minimum please shut the fuck up. If that is not possible go post on prison planet or democratic underground where everyone will applaud your stupidity and tell you what a fucking genius you are. :disgust

Sorry not paranoid, no voices and I don't even take aspirin :1orglaugh. But yes I'm very well informed. You obviously didn't take the time to watch even one of the videos I posted. Your loss.

Did you read the article?

nolongerexists 03-01-2009 02:05 PM

Yes, I did. Hit our local news a few hours ago. We didn't want the cash. Czech didn't want the cash. It's the Hungary who wants it and another Baltic countries who seems to need it. We are going to see how it plays out, but I wouldn't be so sceptic.

What is sad is actually believe that. You think that watching an Alex Jones video on youtube makes you informed. You think that the sound and fury you idiots make screaming to each other in your echo chambers at prisonplanet actually mean something. You think that spouting your Marxist propaganda will lead to your glorious workers paradise but it only leads to Lubyanka and Vorkuta. I am only comforted by the fact that when the time comes it is coffee house revolutionaries like you that always die first. :upsidedow
