Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste

By John Galt for Robbing America Chronicle

What does Rahm Emanuel, the past political adviser to President Obama, have in common with Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor? To never let a crisis go to waste.

Angela Merkel is now trying to use the present Euro crisis to accomplish what it seems to be a long shot during normal times, a "political Union". It means enhancing the political and economic power of the European Union to the extent that most if not all national sovereignty would be wrenched away from the democratically elected nations of Europe. Who will gain this power? Naturally, the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels and the one nation that controls those bureaucrats - Germany. So far, she has made an excellent start. Merkel, via Brussels, have appointed two unelected Euro-technocrats to heads of state in two European national governments, Greece and Italy.

Germany, as we pointed out in our piece "Germany Still Wants to Conquer Europe", is also the nation most to benefit by the economic controls of fiscal powers to Brussels and by keeping control of the European Union currency, the Euro. “It is time for a breakthrough to a new Europe,” she recently asserted, "that does not mean less Europe, it means more Europe.” Indeed it does.

Good bye Democracy, welcome Fraulein Bonaparte.

Go for it Angela, we shall see how many suckers you can recruit. But do not put it to a referendum to the people's of the European nations, that will be a loser.
