Mario Draghi Speaks In Spanish Congress, Media Blackout Ensues
Just because Europe is such a vast and open democracy, where nobody keeps secrets from anyone, it is only logical that Mario Draghi's visit to Spain, where he spoke to domestic lawmakers in the Congress, would be shrouded in secrecy so stringent and oppressive, that all forms of electronic communication were purposefully killed ahead of the speech.
As El Diaro reports: "This morning congress services have cut wi-fi signals and frequency inhibitors have been used to limit the operation of cell phone lines. All with one goal: to prevent the words of ECB President Mario Draghi, to leave the closed room and become public." This was a last minute decision as it "caught by surprise" deputies who had announced their intention to live broadcast the words of the president of the ECB up through a website created for the occasion. It gets better: "The digital lock in the lower house tax has caused chaos among accredited journalists, who have had to continue to do their work without internet connection, with difficulty using their mobile phones without any signal to communicate with the outside." And the culmination: "This chronicle has been dictated from a pay phone." It almost makes one wonder just what latest set of top secret "truth" that can not possibly see the light of day for cross reference purposes, Mario Draghi is currently spreading in Spain. Almost.
And now that the closed door meeting has concluded, Draghi is speaking live at the following webcast:

some politician will leak for cash...guaranteed
leak what? Aren't they serving the people? Isn't everything that's said supposed to be public?
Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, a Tuscan bank, has acknowledged using secret derivatives deals to mask hundreds of millions of euros in losses.
That investigation has focused attention on the role played by the Bank of Italy and its then-chairman, Mario Draghi, who is now president of the European Central Bank.

"Isn't everything that's said supposed to be public? "
Not unless you are a total embarassment and have zero credibility in the eyes of the public.
Otherwise your "honest lies" wouldn't work.

What unrulian meant was "any politician will take a leak for cash". He was simply pointing out that there are no limits to how low politicians will stoop as long as they get paid for it.
clarity isn't my strength :)
Maybe so, but 'I' understood you, lol.
I was going to say something clever but my comment was blacked out
Money Doesn't Buy Happyness....
WHOEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Cue Alex Jones: EMP Hits Spain - Electronics Blacked Out Across Parliment!!!!
I would strangle that scrawny necked fucker with my bare hands if I was there.
Who the fuck do these swines think they are? They are playing with peoples lives for fucks sake. Its about time these bastards were held accountable for thier actions.
Cunts
pucker up and kiss the ring...
The mob generally doesn't like its meetings broadcast....
Wait and see. When it blows it will be blow big; viral. TPTB have been getting ready for it for several years.
You don't think they have a cover story?
"It's the {JOOOOZZZZzzzzzz | rich | Christians | Moslems | North Koreans | bankers }!"
"Who the fuck do these swines think they are?"
They think they are our betters. After all, if you were smarter, you would be sitting in one of the chairs at their table. They know what is best for you. You are too stupid to manage your own life and must be told where to work, where to live, how many children to have. I disagree with their premise naturally. It doesn't matter if I am not as smart as they are, I still get to make my own decisions and run my life as I see fit.
OT: There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly. Stefan Molyneux 0:59:01
HONERABLE POLITICIANS WON'T LEAK THE INFO!!!
I bet it takes 3 seconds before we find oud who said what against who....
This event reminds me of "Honorable Jonnie's" "hearing", where the stream was cut. As well as the infamous Silver manipulation hearings, where the lights went out.
Just sayin'..

One central bank to rule them all...

So I guess we look for the smoke color.
White smoke for bail, black smoke for fail.
what color is a mushroom cloud?
Bright white, then you go blind.
And the last bastions of free press need to keep calling them out for their actions. Journalism isn't an institution or credential but each and every one of us speaking up on what we see. Actions to prohibit such are a clear sign of evil plain and simple. If have nothing to hide then you don't pull shit like this.
Journalists are part of the problem. They all sold out a long time ago, keeping their press pass more important than the truth
Not part of the problem....they are the problem.
If they do their jobs, the politicians would be accountable. Who else holds them to account? Certainly not you or I.
Frankly I believe it is alive and well, just not in the institutions that claim to be the press anymore, at least not MSM state media houses. The decentralized nature of the internet has allowed it to flourish on an individual level something these people can't stop no matter how much they try. All it takes is one person at that meeting to have surreptitiously recorded the meeting or anonymously make some statements as to the nature of said speech. The information always finds it's way to the ears and eyes of those that want to know once it is out there.
Alot of these message boards and blogs are kicking the "official" media's ass when it comes to high information and truth telling these days. That is a sad commentary on a once vibrant and free press. The institutions have lost their way and become corrupt.
We the individuals are the last bastions, as long as our hearts and minds stay uncorrupt, that is something central planning can not control unless we acquiese to them.
Bring in the drones.
Per Draghi webcast: Spain's future looks pretty 'black'.
Dear Spain,
You're fucked.
Don't tell anyone.
Love, Mario

Spain: tv productor phoning in Congress today. https://twitter.com/Juanmi_News/status/301340494661812224/photo/1
No wi-fi, no mobiles phones, no internet. Total media blockout.
What a great day for a caption contest.
Two deputys has recorded it with their iphones and leaked it in twitter
It's for our own good.
My special contacts at the Spanish Parliament confirm that Super Mario's first words are as follows:
"Estimados Congresistas, estoy aqui para decirles la triste verdad - estamos jodidos..."
unfortunately, at that point the cell phone recording the speech was confiscated...
Translation: Esteemed Congress. I am here to tell you the sad truth. We're screwed
it's official,... the German's have given up on Greece!?
sadly, they've become so terrified about Spain, that there is rowing swell of discontent within the heart of mother's deutschmarkville's romanticized past-- this score`less faux-paradies of equilibrium utopia has run its course... that a late term miscarriage is in, or out of the question?-- is now just a matter of inception! as the early rising sovereign says to ones own'd twilight lover from the west?... we can surely try again using the tried and true missionaries fetal-fiscal calisthenic model?... with the auld-lang-syne of ze` bless'd`euroeclipse fading in 'dee south, where borders were once all one had to secure ones sanity?!
the people are fed-up-- Spain is just to much, period???
There is something obscene about Spanish political slimeballs spending Spanish taxpayers' money to buy electronic gear to allow them to prevent Spanish citizens from knowing what the unelected ECB chief Draghi says to their Spanish parliament.
I believe at the exact same time as Draghi was speaking, the slug called Barroso was in Brussels assuring anyone bothered to listen, that the EU is an open and fully accountable democracy.
He's probably just sorting out another bailout for them and doesn't want the people of Europe to start lynching ECB members. Either that or they're dancing the Default Fandango. Whatever, I have my Black Swan T-shirt and Euro shorts with me just incase. Party like it's 2007 folks!
Sovietopean Union
You are too stupid to understand what he says, if you're Spanish your stupidity is doubled in comparison with other nations so you should not know what the fuckers on top are doing and what situation really looks like, that's essence of democracy, isn't it? BTW it's not really very important what that fuck says because despite of blackout, so plebs does not know anything, he will lie even to those very well paid fucks in spanish parliament. For sure he will fed them with patriotic themes to make them believe they're saviors of the nation despite obvious facts.
Need the Limerick King or WB7 to work some of their magic on this one and help me out here.
Instead of the old "The rain in Spain, falls mainly on the plain." I think someone with more command of the language could come up with something creative...
The pain in Spain falls mainly on...
He will then vacation in the Spanish coastal town of Para Noy Ea.
Nigel Farage will have a field day with this....
Next time journalist and parliamentarians that want to bring out what is said should bring devices that operate at other frequencies than WIFI and mobile phones unless a sweep on all frequencies is used. If there is a window, a laser could be pointed which tracks what is being said inside. Time to become technology savvy people!
Failing that, the old ways are is best. You'd be amazed (or not) at how cheap Eurocrats are these days - buy one get one free with options on a third and a recommendation to their pals in Le Old Boys Club. Grease them up with worthless Euros - what's wrong? Euros not good enough for you? Something I should know? Mwar har har har!
So Tyler, give us a clue?
Anyone notice how the IMF "handbag" has not said a fucking word?
She knows it is fucked up and corrupt as shit.
Draghi started the speech, "Now, folks, before we go any further, I want everyone here to realize how much progress we've made."
Draghi will be there to tell the Spanish that the ECB really needs to be able to print some money to 'keep up' with the other majors, and that the Spanish bail-out is the first cab off the rank to be able to achieve that.
All of which doesn't gel with utterings out of the G7 and so needs to be kept rather hush hush.
Must just have been "siesta" time when the meeting was taking place.
Dear Spain,
There is a new "pope" and a new, really great "Leader" about to appear, and we need your support-- or else. I'm sure you saw the u-toob of lightning at the Vatican last night.......this new leader will only require you to kiss his ring....
The hopium and bullshit runs deep and thick.

European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi thinks Spain is on the right track towards economic recovery.
In Madrid to address members of parliament during a closed-door session, Draghi said he sees positive signs and substantial progress.
He praised Spaniards for their great efforts to fight the crisis, said the Spanish bank rescue programme was showing results.
After talking to lawmakers, Draghi told reporters: “The economic situation, the social situation, are difficult and the people are going through difficult times. But I also told that Spain is on the right track, and today banks in Spain have a much healthier balance sheet. Today Spain has what probably is the most advanced recovery and resolution system for banks in the euro area.”
Draghi is seen by many as Spain’s saviour. With the country’s banking system swamped with toxic debt, last year it looked like Madrid was going to be forced to ask for a sovereign bailout from the EU and International Monetary Fund.
But the European Central Bank’s promise to safeguard the euro with a bond-purchase plan lowered Spain’s borrowing costs.
Draghi may be seeing “positive signs” but the Spanish people would be hard pushed to name them, particularly with more than a quarter of the working population jobless and over half of young Spaniards without work.
And to be fair it was Ratboy err Rajoy's ruling Popular Party and I am sure with Ratboy and Draghi's approval that tried to shut the media out of the proceedings.
