Re: Greece: Of paupers and taxes (none / 0)

seems naive at this point to believe elite german banksters-behaving-badly care a fig for a. the euro (offshore stashes)
b. the people of europe
c. the people of germany

any evidence to support an antithesis?

A breakup of the euro has to hurt Germany since the currencies of the countries in its major market will be devalued against the Deutschmark hurting Germany's exports and increasing its imports; something that Germany has been avoiding.

Re: Greece: Of paupers and taxes (none / 1)

After two days of having discussed the "why" of what's happening I can't find any answer that satisfies me. My mind is boggling.
Frankly it sounds as if we're in an insane assylum.

Maybe this will help:

Psychosis:

Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality that usually includes:
* False beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions)
* Seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations)

For me a whole bunch of stuff became clear when I stopped assuming rationality and demanded proof.
