| Greece votes No: The European Union is dying before our eyes |
| 2015-07-07 |
| [TELEGRAPH.CO.UK] Despite the scaremongering and bullying from those in Brussels, we are waking today with Greece having delivered a resounding No. That comes despite EU bosses saying that it would mean a Greek exit from the Euro, not to mention the heavy economic pressure placed on the Greek people to go along with the wishes of Brussels. It is a crushing defeat for those Eurocrats who believe that you can simply bulldoze public opinion. Chief bully-boy Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament, and other supposed leaders of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... did their best to terrify the Greek people into submitting to the wishes of the European Union. But they utterly failed. The fear espoused by the Yes campaign was rejected. Opinion polls that put the Yes side ahead just days before were way out, as thousands upon thousands of Greek citizens lined the streets chanting "Oxi". |

| #9 I'm thinking the Germans had a pile of guilt and a pile of money and decided they'd carry a few nations along with this EU thing and it would all last long enough to absolve them of that guilt before it imploded. I"m thinking they were right. |

| #8 Its like Einstein said: "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits" So be it with the Greek referendum so be it with the EU I bet DeutscheBank has been dusting off those crates of Marks they have squirreled away in the basement. |

| #5 Ah, Darth it was intended sarcastically---given Europeans' visceral "anti-Zionism", not to mention the rest of the Tranzi package. IMO, the more trouble they have, the less time/energy they have for making trouble for the rest of the World. |

| #4 What we are witnessing is a variation on Heinlein's "Bad Luck" in the process of happening. Be sure to take notes, because we WILL be seeing something like this in the US soon. |
