EUROZONE SEEKS EU AID TO SAVE EURO !

As expected, Greece will need more aid in the near future to avoid a National Bankruptcy, which would entail leaving the EURO, adopting a new currency and then announcing a devaluation. 

That Greece could "dump" the EURO sends shudders throughout the EUROZONE world !  It cannot be allowed to happen based on current "theories" and practices in the EURO world !

Germany in particular but other EUROZONE countries and International Banks have up to now, made countless billions of loans and issued garanties to Banks, yet now want to drag non EUROZONE countries in the EU, into schemes aimed at spreading the cost of saving the EURO !

This cannot be allowed to happen.  This exact same situation was clearly foreseeable when the first country was "bailed out" ! 

The flaw in the EUROSYSTEM is the basic principle that no country, large or small, can be allowed to leave the SYSTEM because this could provoke a run on the EURO itself ! All other countries in the system could suffer !

Britain in particular has the Pound Sterling to defend and other EU countries have their local currency to Manage.  This is in fact the same thing, on a smaller scale, as managing the EURO !

If EU countries must now pay to save the EURO, every country in the EU will have the same problem !  Helping Greece again with more money or aid, will not cure the basic EUROZONE flaw. 

Germany, Angela Merkel and Günther Öttinger who is Germany's EU Commissioner, must dream-up another  proposal which solves the basic EUROZONE flaw !

WHO IS THE FIFA "PROJECT MANAGER" ?

With FIFA, unexpected news items of problems have suddenly surfaced concerning the forthcoming World Cups scheduled in Bresil in 2014, in Russia in 2018 and in Qatar in 2022.

For an Intercontinental Organisation like FIFA, which has  representatives from almost every country in the world where football is played, this becomes a mystery !

When a small business wants to expand, when one wants to launch a new product, or when one wants to invest shareholders money, a project is defined, a Project Manager is Named and given the support of other experts around him (Financial, Marketing, Production, even Linguistic) to ensure all the critical aspects of a planned investment are properly covered.

FIFA, with respect to the coming World Cup Organisations does not appear to be armed in the same way as other multi-national organisations !

FIFA it appears, are pledged to hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.  The most recent problem is "At what date ?". In the Qatari Summer or in the European Winter ?  Was this question never decided or foreseen before FIFA signed the contract ?  The weather there is not like in Switzerland !!! 

 Who was the Project Manager ?  Did anyone from FIFA ever go to Qatar before the contract was signed ?

It seems that Qatar will before 2022 make significant investments to build football stadiums in its country.  Where will they be built ? Is there a plan ?  Will there be a big enough infrastructure to house, feed and entertain the expected international guests and supporters with western or international food ? One just assumes at present that transport will be available.

Will Supporters who between matches will become Tourists, be able to wear western clothes, drink a glass of beer or wine ?  Will western women be able to circulate in dresses as in Europe or must they be veiled ?

When even now FIFA does not know the date of the 2022 WORLD CUP, one is inclined to ask what does FIFA in fact really know ?   Has FIFA got a "reserve venue" if Qatar cannot "deliver" ?  Where ?

OBAMA AND THE USA SHRINK FROM REALITY IN SYRIA !

Threats are one thing, but action is another problem, at least for Obama and the USA.  What can be done to stop Bachar al Assad from the genocide of everyone of his opponents in Syria ?  

Russia and China must have very solid reasons for maintaining their backing of Bachar al Assad, in spite of him being the exterminator of civilians in "his" country, the country he wants to lead !   

Russia and China must realise that their political reputations will be nailed to the same cross as the name of Bachar al Assad by historians !

William Hague, the British Foreign Secretary, said yesterday that the world cannot ignore the Syrian crisis !  Can Obama and other normal, level headed leaders in the world not recognise that now is the time to "ignore the UNO Security Council Veto" by Russia and China ?

The USA and Britain and other right thinking nations must act now because UNO and its "Security Council" no longer fulfills its original objectives !  More diplomatic talks at present are absolutely useless, futile !  More innocent civilians will die with each passing minute.

Not to act now, immediately, invites more trouble in the future !  There are other would be tyrants in the world !  Furthermore, UNO must reorganise, must change its rules, to again serve peace but this will be a slow, long term occupation !

DAILY MAIL REVEALS A NEW DAVID CAMERON !

The pictures on page 3 of the Daily Mail to-day, Friday 23 August 2013, reveal that David Cameron is more of a man than pundits like me ever thought ! 

His Political oponents should heed this warning !

In France the story is quite different !  President Hollande has this year deprived himself and those around him of "profiting" from extended holidays.  

In spite of this everyone has noticed how chubby he has become !  This must be due to the weight of the Problems of State on his shoulders !  Is this not in fact  somewhat similar to Cameron's problems !

The last Medical Report on the Health of President Hollande in March 2013 stated his condition was "Normal".  No real alert or change is expected in the next Report !  As he has repeatedly said he is a "normal President" !

BASHAR AL ASSAD IS A MEGALOMANIAC

As the leader of his country who kills anyone who opposes him or his ideas, who ruthlessly wages a civil war in his country, Bashar al Assad has lost all respect in Syria and in surrounding countries and in the diplomatic world. 

There are now daily reports together with pictures which  now prove that he is using Chemical Weapons to attack pockets of resistence by the Syrian population !  

How Russian and Chinese diplomats, who in the United Nations Security Council impose their Veto to prevent any intervention by UNO in Syrian Affairs, can now face other diplomats anywhere, is beyond the imagination. It is to be hoped that Diplomats worldwide repeatedly make their feelings felt and that Vladimir Putin of Russia and XI Jinping of China are made aware of the feelings worldwide.

In fact their action is completely opposed to the spirit which prevailed when certain countries were given the right to Veto decisions in the UNO originally !  By acting like this Russia and China are destroying the UNO.

Refugees are fleeing Syria, seeking to stay alive wherever they are permitted to settle, which is often a neighbouring country of Syria.  Families have been destroyed, homes have been abandoned, misery is their future !

As for Bashar Al Assad he probably, and quite rightly,  fears an assassination attempt could bring his life to an abrupt end.  Can anyone imagine him ever again ruling Syria peacefully ?

THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS HAS GONE COMPLETELY MAD !

An article in the Daily Telegraph to-day (21 August 2013) reveals that Arthur Hutchinson, a convicted triple murderer and also a rapist, sentenced to 18 years in jail by a British Court, which on appeal confirmed the whole life sentence, has now appealed. 

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last month ruled that to condemn murderers to a sentence that means they will die in Jail, is "inhuman and degrading" ! 

The sheer facts of this case make me seethe.  Have the Strasbourg Judges completely lost their sense of justice ?  Can they logically explain how anyone who deprives another Human Being the right to live by callously killing him, has any semblance of a right not to be punished severely ?  Has a killer not automatically surrendered all his Human Rights ?

The ECHR has gradually extended its initial terms of reference after the Death Penalty was abolished.  This court seems to have forgotten that "victims" and also "potential victims" have Human Rights !  "Potential Victims" expect the protection which comes when "potential killers" weigh-up what they want to do !

The ECHR has a clear duty to deter criminals !

European politicians also have a clear duty to defend their electors and the time has come to revise the Treaties which cover the Principles and Duties of the Judges of the ECHR !

Should David Cameron not instruct Manual Barroso to put this question on the Agenda of the next meeting of the COUNCIL of the EUROPEAN UNION ?  Only a determined action by the EU as a whole can lead to changes in the habits of the ECHR !  Is this not the hidden message in the remarks by Angela Merkel last week ?

                               .
 
   

CAMERON MUST HEED THE MERKEL "SWEET WHISPERS" !

What Cameron wants to achieve in the EU, not to say "Europe", was commented on by an Angela Merkel last week while she is fighting in the German General  Elections of which voters will decide the outcome on  22nd of September 2013 !

Her remarks are, in fact quite right !  She said that one "cannot" change the basic Treaties which constitute the EU.  Without saying this, she was saying that Cameron cannot expect to attain alone the goals he has "rightly" set for Britain !

Many other countries would surely follow him if Cameron openly declares that he wants:

1)  A revision of the Principles of Human Rights;
    a)  Should the Death Penalty not be applied in cases          for repeated murders ?
    b) Should Terrorists who kill not be executed ?

2)  Should Al Quaida Organisations not be deprived of any Human Rights protection ?

These are but a few of the objectives which David Cameron may wish to pursue.  This blog has no contacts with him or his organisations !

However, the EU, which does nothing to limit the costs of illegal immigrants is THE real problem !  This is not only a British problem, it is directly an ETERNAL EU  problem whether Merkel is re-elected and chosen as Chancellor of Germany by her Coalition, or not ! 

Cameron wants Britain to be part of the EU.  This is absolutely correct.  This will need negotiating.  I am convinced that certain common sense changes that David Cameron would want to introduce will also seduce other EU countries !
