I don't know what the Germans are doing.

I know our public school kids are taught to wet themselves in fear at even the shape or drawing of a gun.

Perhaps the German kids aren't as big a bunch of pussies as ours are. . .

03-19 12:15: Market talk of a NY think tank report on Cyprus

Market talk of a NY think tank report on Cyprus - unconfirmed **UPDATED**

'Market talk’ – Signifies information that has not been formally tested through traditional journalistic channels and therefore is to be treated as unsubstantiated. Any interpretation of the talk is taken at the readers own risk and is a representation of the rumours within the market place and never generated by ourselves.

- The report is said to say that Cyprus' plan B is a disorderly default.

**LATEST - Can confirm from well placed contact that plan B will not be a Eurozone exit but a default is the end scenario should Cyprus fail to accept bailout terms.

 

This will be hugely CRM, CMG, LULU, ZNGA, F, JSDA, AMZN & PCLN positive as those constructive trust equities are the new safe havens of the world.

Yes, that is the reason (avoiding accidents) to remove the magazine first and then eject any cartridge that may have been in the chamber, before looking down the barrel.

Maybe in a story book, but in reality, deserve has nothing to do with it. Besides, it's not Merkel's fault, it's the system's fault. It's the people's fault and it's the ideas and way of life they have subjected themselves too's fault. Remove Merkel an another puppet takes her place. Take away the government's control over the printing press and then you'll actually change something as the government will no longer have the ability to easily siphon so many resources.. If you really want to make the world a better place, withdraw your cash from the bank, sell every bond you have, stop paying the mortgage on your house, stop paying your credit card bills, and buy silver.

See a simple lack of forethought in the form of an innocent tongue punch of the fart box and the whole New World Order collapses.

I agree, socialists are stupid shits, but the keynesian central planning banker enablers could have stopped the madness long ago by admitting it was all a Ponzi scheme and pulling the plug on the proxy Pols instead of allowing them to run up the odious tab to enrich them all.

 

I think banks should go bankrupt or pay (or both) because they set it all in motion long ago and they own it. They need to be turned into utilities and looked upon like tobacco companies.

The average person on the street didn't stand a chance against decades of incremental brainwashing and economic decimation.  Guys like Cass Sunstein even have a name for it --  'scientific socialism' -- which just means they think their propaganda and conditioning is so sophisticated that coercion via guns and violence by the state is no longer required.

I've always said the German people will not have the stomach for sending jackboots to kick in PIIG doors to collect. Politicians using a troika proxy to do it for them is not going to work either. The Germany has too much historical baggage.

 

Shylock bankers and EUrocrats, on the other hand, have the advantage of not being burdened by any sense of guilt or shame so they'll try anything.

How were bank accounts in Cyprus paying 7% interest? Seems a little Madoff-like...

These accounts paid 7% interest rates much like the Iceland banks did. And just like Iceland, the banks were much larger than the national GDP.
