Wirtschaftsregierung für die EU, Vorbote einer Weltregierung

So nun ist es amtlich: Es ensteht eine Wirtschaftsregierung der EU unter dem Vorsitz eines nicht demokratisch gewählten Diener der globalen Elite. Eine Regierung die den einzelnen Staaten vorschreiben kann was und wieviel sie zahlen und ausgeben dürfen. Ein schneller Schritt zur Weltregierung.




Deutsches Spardiktat für die Euro-Zone





Deutschland und Frankreich verlangen von den übrigen Euro-Ländern einen stärkeren Willen zum Sparen. Das Mittel der Wahl soll eine Schuldenbremse nach deutschem Vorbild sein - und in allen Staatsverfassungen festgeschrieben werden. von Lutz Meier Paris, Mathias Ohanian, Berlin, Mark Schrörs Brüssel und André Kühnlenz Frankfurt
Deutschland und Frankreich wollen den anderen Euro-Staaten im Kampf gegen die Schuldenkrise einen strikten Sparkurs verordnen. Diese sollen eine gesetzliche Schuldenbremse nach deutschem Vorbild beschließen. Das forderten Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) und der französische Präsident Nicolas Sarkozy am Dienstag bei einem Sondertreffen in Paris.
"Wir müssen deutlich machen, dass Haushaltsdisziplin nicht von tagespolitischen Mehrheiten abhängt", sagte Merkel. Die Vorgaben zur Obergrenze der Neuverschuldung sollten bis spätestens Sommer 2012 in allen Staatsverfassungen stehen, sagte Sarkozy.
Wie verschuldet ist die Welt?

Bis das umgesetzt wird, ist der Euro bereits Geschichte.
Daher werte ich das Ganze als Bluff, "wir mussten doch irgendwas beschliessen, wenn wir schon die Eurobonds nicht auf den Weg bringen".

Viel Lärm um Nichts...

"Und diese Diskussion werden wir führen, das wird auch noch Überzeugungsarbeit bedürfen, denn es ist ja wichtig und richtig, dass jetzt 17 Euro-Länder Schritt für Schritt ein Maß an Verbindlichkeit eingehen. Bis hin eben auch an die Bitte an Parlamente, sich zu verpflichten, auf die Kommission zu hören, was eine völlig neue Qualität unserer Zusammenarbeit in der Euro-Zone ist." - Angela Merkel





Ich denk sie schaffen es, die EU-Regierung zu installieren, wird aber noch dauern - Zurzeit ist der Widerstand noch zu groß.

Vielleicht kommt sie, wenn wir durch ein paar Krisenjahre weichgekocht wurden.


Warum sollte es den Euro dann nicht mehr geben? Wenn sie es bis jetzt geschafft haben ihn aufrecht zu halten, schaffen sie es auch weiterhin. Ungeplant geht der Euro sicher nicht unter...

Hat sich einmal jemand gefragt woher die sogenannten Ratingagenturen ihre Macht hernehmen ganze Länder herabzustufen und damit in finanzielle Krisen zu stürzen und wer hinter ihnen steht???

Rating Agenturen


Standard & Poor’s on Tuesday cut its credit ratings for many of the world’s largest banks, including Citigroup (NYSE: C), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC).

The move follows S&P’s shift, announced earlier this month, in the methods it uses for rating the banks.

Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Corp. each had their long-term credit rating downgraded a single notch to A- from A. Similar cuts were applied to JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS).

Dozens of other banks were also affected by S&P’s new criteria and many of the downgrades stemmed from the affected banks’ exposure to the European debt crisis. S&P cited weaker confidence in governments' ability to bail out struggling banks.

The new criteria for rating banks comes in the wake of criticism leveled at all three major rating firms – Moody’s and Fitch’s are the other two -- that they rubber stamped their highest ratings on investment products loaded with subprime mortgages in the years leading up to the financial crisis.

Congress has considered reforming ratings system to remove perceived conflicts of interest.

S&P alerted the markets and the banks of the pending changes in March 2010 and again in January 2011. Analysts praised the ratings firms for their communication with affected banks as the new criteria was being established.

British banks that also saw downgrades include Barclays, HSBC Holdings, Lloyds Banking Group and The Royal Bank of Scotland.

However, due to the complexity of the new criteria, ratings for several big European banks, including Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, ING and Societe Generale remained unchanged despite the ongoing debt crisis there.

Bank Of America Dumps $75 Trillion In Derivatives On U.S. Taxpayers With Federal Approval

Bloomberg reports that Bank of America (BAC) has shifted about $22 trillion worth of derivative obligations from Merrill Lynch and the BAC holding company to the FDIC insured retail deposit division. Along with this information came the revelation that the FDIC insured unit was already stuffed with $53 trillion worth of these potentially toxic obligations, making a total of $75 trillion.

Derivatives are highly volatile financial instruments that are occasionally used to hedge risk, but mostly used for speculation. They are bets upon the value of stocks, bonds, mortgages, other loans, currencies, commodities, volatility of financial indexes, and even weather changes. Many big banks, including Bank of America, issue derivatives because, if they are not triggered, they are highly profitable to the issuer, and result in big bonus payments to the executives who administer them. If they are triggered, of course, the obligations fall upon the corporate entity, not the executives involved. Ultimately, by allowing existing gambling bets to remain in insured retail banks, and endorsing the shift of additional bets into the insured retail division, the obligation falls upon the U.S. taxpayers and dollar-denominated savers.

Even if we net out the notional value of the derivatives involved, down to the net potential obligation, the amount is so large that the United States could not hope to pay it off without a major dollar devaluation, if a major contingency actually occurred and a large part of the derivatives were triggered. But, if such an event ever occurs, Bank of America's derivatives counter-parties will, as usual, be made whole, while the American people suffer. This all has the blessing of the Federal Reserve, which approved the transfer of derivatives from Merrill Lynch to the insured retail unit of BAC before it was done.

Contrary to popular belief, which blames the global financial crisis on subprime borrowers, it was the derivatives, based upon the likelihood that those borrowers would pay their debts, that were the primary catalyst triggering the global economic crisis of 2008. Back then, the derivative obligations of AIG (AIG) imploded the insurer. Under the pressure of fear-mongering from the Federal Reserve and the financial industry, the U.S. government committed hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out AIG's counter-parties, including the biggest banks of Europe and America. Had the government not stepped in, virtually all the banks on Wall Street would have gone bankrupt. A host of European and Asian banks would have followed.

AIG was not FDIC insured. It could have been allowed to fail, and should have been allowed to fail. All the banks on Wall Street that would have failed should have failed. Their speculator counter-parties should have been bankrupted, and their retail depositors should have been made whole. The retail divisions could have been temporarily nationalized and sold off as soon as possible to more prudent management. Had this occurred, America would have experienced a deep but very temporary economic downturn, and, by now, the downturn would be over. But, with derivatives obligations tied intimately with FDIC insured depositary units, the debt will need to be paid by the government, as a matter of law. We will have no legal choice except to default, or pay them off.

In 2008, politicians in Washington D.C., and Trojan horse operatives within the financial organs of our government, bailed out imprudent managements of big casino-banks. Bank executives not only didn't need to go bankrupt, as they should have, but collected huge bonuses. Later, in response to the abuse, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank legislation and the Volcker rule. These were supposed to insure that such bailouts were not needed in the future. Supposedly, this would prevent further abuse of the American taxpayer.
