Furious Merkel: "Cyprus’ Decision To Test Europe Is Unacceptable"
Europe's paymaster - that would be Germany for those who have not paid attention to events over the past four years - is not used to being snubbed. It certainly is not used to being snubbed by what every empty chatterbox and their kitchen sink will tell you is a "small and irrelevant" country (all the more so in the aftermath of last summer's embarrassing defeat in its head on confrontation with the ECB, in which the Bundesbank showed that sometimes the best offense is a gracious retreat). It most certainly is not used to not being invited to discussions involving the future of its precious mercantilist European union, especially when said union may no longer exist as we know it in 48 short hours. And Germany is angry.
From Bloomberg:
As Russia spurned the island nation’s bid for a loan, Merkel told a closed-door meeting of legislators in Berlin today that she’s annoyed the Cypriot government hasn’t been in touch with the so-called troika of international creditors for days, according to a party official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the briefing was private. Cyprus’s decision to test Europe is unacceptable, she told them.
“We’re not ready to accept solutions that are full of wind,” Michael Fuchs, deputy parliamentary leader of Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union, said after the meeting. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to play poker in this matter, especially when you think that there’s a risk that two banks will become insolvent next Monday.”
In other words, how dare the pesky Cypriots think a "union" is comprised of equal "units", instead of being a despotic tyrrany in which the adjusted version of the golden rule (perhaps explaining why the Buba is pulling all its French and a lot of its NY Fed gold) applies.
Germany will have none of that nonsense.
So while "experts" wait with bated breath for the results of today's Cypriot debate and vote, the reality is it is completely irrelevant, and any of the proposed terms and "resolution" ideas are irrelevant. Why? Because without Germany's blessing (which also means the idea should have originated with Germany in the first place), there is no solution, especially not one that benefits the abovementioned paymaster.
Which means either there is a deposit tax on the wealthy, which was the whole point of this carefully structured, politically punitive exercise, or there is no deal.
Because in Europe, like everywhere else, it is quid (even if it will soon be quit)-pro-quo.

That is actually Angela herself.
I guess Cyprus is doing what we all do when we can not pay our credit cards ..... just dont answer the phone anymore !!!
Cyprus is learning from Americans....

They don't answer the phone because their busy printing up all of their own money to exchange for euros on Tuesday.

@ hedgeless_horseman,
My sentiments exactly! You know, there are these funny rumors going around that this CUNT is the test tube baby of the Leader of the Furur.
Well anyway,
I think it's about time we go IceLand and demand an orderly arrest of the Global Criminal Cabal (Intelligence/Bankster) Crime Syndicate and their leaders.
Hedgeless, the euros are an invention of the international bankers. It’s the international bankers who are furious, if anyone is furious.

@Headless Horseman,
He who has the gold writes the rules. When the rules aren't followed those who wrote the rules get very angry.
This usually ends badly for Germans.
You know what? Hitler, in case anyone hasn’t noticed, is not involved in the EU policy maneuvers. It is the international bankers. And the face of Hitler is nothing but Zionist propaganda.
And WHERE is the face of the Zionist policy makers who would force the people of Europe to wear the ankle chains of debt slavery?

`I see!' said Queen Angela, who had meanwhile been examining the roses. `Off with their heads!' and the procession moved on, three of the soldiers remaining behind to execute the unfortunate Cypriots, who ran to Alice for protection.
`You shan't be beheaded!' said Alice, and she put them into a large flower-pot that stood near. The three soldiers wandered about for a minute or two, looking for them, and then quietly marched off after the others.
`Are their heads off?' shouted the Queen.
`Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!' the soldiers shouted in reply.
`That's right!' shouted the Queen. `Can you play croquet?'

TUT, TUT, TUT, it was a closed door meeting - everything that comes out is pure hearsay and rumour
and the way the ECB is sounding is looks like the Cypriot central bank governor made two thirds of his collegues very, very mad, too

meanwhile I note that the author is writing "mercantilist" EU/eurozone
can't wait what ZeroHedge's position will be in June 2013 when we will start to talk about the great TAFTA - the TransAtlantic Trade Zone encompassing NAFTA (i.e. Mexico, Canada and the US) and the European Union
of course this will be the death knell of the European Union as a trading zone, and will expose us europeans to the same treatment that Americans have from great giant corporations like Google et al (bye bye to our privacy laws) as well as expose us to the same transgenetic GMO food cartels that poison America
the UK government is already cackling as mad, two in one strike: death to the EU, long live TAFTA
Ghordius, Are you a 'freegolder'? and if so, are you fimiliar with the writings of one 'victor the cleaner'
https://twitter.com/VictorCleaner
Victor writes/tweets that 'the europeans are in the process of pulling the rug out from under the dollar'' (march17) and a while back Victor suggests ''that the Euro has the dollar cornered''
Curious as to your thoughts............
Ghordo, buddy, I think you're way off in the weeds (possibly right, but still way off in the weeds). This article is and it's impications aren't that tough to understand. Here's the short version:
We're about to find out just how strong Germany's pimp hand is. If Merkel's pimp hand is strong, Cyprus will tow the line, pass the deposit tax and eat shit. If Merkel's pimp hand is found to be weak, however...... that's a threat to the Status Quo. Not a huge threat directly, but you know when one of your whores gets out of line and you fail to slap that bitch down, you're gonna have trouble with the rest of them. Pretty soon even your bottom-bitch is telling you what she will and won't do. Can't have that.
Gilligian, quick get some for the fire, there's a boat out there.
I don't see no boat skipper.
Never mind that, go get some wood for the fire, Maryann saw a boat out there.
Can you see Maryann?
NO, how can I see Maryann when she's not even here??
They same way you see the boat out there.
Nuke standoff.
Merkel threatens to kill Cyprus and Cyprus threatens triggering the Euro derivative bomb.
Who's gonna blink?
"mercantilist" is simply an older term to describe "corporatism".
@Ghordius
Re: tafta. Definitely one of the star comments of the day.
Ghordius,
You object to GM food? Don't eat. No one is stopping you.
I know that argument. let the market decide. and oh, we don't really need to label anything, do we?
and european agriculture is so backward, you know, all those free farmers-owners with their silly family-run farms - they ought to understand that US-style agri-business is so much better - and profitable
look, we made a continental sized trading zone so that we could feed ourselves, among other things
we know what happened to the US farmers - no, thanks
BULLISH, DAMMIT!!
ZE ponzi must continue.
I thought all these assholes are on the same side, it's all theater no? Who gives a shit, it's all crashing down anyways...
Think of it more like the New York crime 'families' of old.
Sometimes they cooperate, sometimes they compete. Sometimes they have harsh words for each other, and once in a while they go to the mattresses.
In fat times, they probably mostly cooperate.
These are not fat times.
I like you angry, instead of us angry.
We're gettin' somewhere.
Amazing how much time Merkel can spend pretending to be the EU Caesar when her own country is dissolving into recession. The question is both, when do Europeans have enough of her power plays, and when do Germans themselves get sick of her domestic negligence?

Something about Cyprus being the fulcrum upon which Putin & Co. prybars the EU open with a golden crowbar.
Putin's gonna have a fuck fest this year...payback's a bitch.
+1.
I like. Please share your musings and speculation. The more salacious, the better.
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
Well I was really thinking that Putin & Co. chose Cyprus not only for proximity geography but also, it's a fairly remote island that there own security forces can monitor the ins and outs fairly easily. It would be very difficult to make gold vanish into a tunnel or train, unlike NYC, which is a warren of tunnels that all seem to terminate very close to or within the confines of the vaulted foundations of major bank buildings like Citi, Chase, et al. You can swipe many tons of gold and have them on a train to Schenectady (sp) in no time and no one would be the wiser. Can't do that on an island.
Yes, independent Cyprus ... better to implode in freedom, than live as a slave
That is really funny in article above:
« ... the Cypriot government hasn’t been in touch with the so-called troika of international creditors for days ... »
Ha!
Makes me think that despite the official claims of 'no deal with the Russians'
In fact Cyprus is playing out the hand EXACTLY as the Russians are quietly telling them to do so
Talk to the hand, bitchez
"Cyprus is playing out the hand EXACTLY as the Russians are quietly telling them to do so"
Bingo!!
Poor Angie. She's accustomed to wearing the strap-on, not being on the receiving end of that 10-inch anal probe. Putin is supplying the sandpaper condoms and habanero lube for the after-party in Brussels.
The Germans will fold. Merkel is enraged because she must support the Euro. Going back to the DM will destroy German exports. Same problem that the Swiss have with their non-banking economy.
Too bad tanks don't float.
the germans can borrow a few of the u-boats they sold the Israelis
Laws of Physics will probably yell at me for this.
Think there's a lot of gold on that little island?
I don't know about physics, but the laws of geology probably won't; there was once a lot of copper mining on Cyprus. Where there's copper, there might be gold.
I'm talking about the above ground variety that normally necessitates a dense network of tunnels in order to switch from one bank vault to another unseen.
According to World Gold Council, in 2010 they had 13.9 tons.

Your choice
We are all Cypriots now.... Viva la Cyprus!!!
Start buying Cypriot food/goods redirect holidays from Germany to Cyprus... We have to support those people...
Here, I have an idea. Why doesn't Cyprus default on their loans and create a new Cyprus currency backed by their physical gold? Do this overnight and the economy won't skip a beat. Just a fucking crazy thought.
I'd like to see Cyprus actions become the model for what states may do in the US...

Come on Texas...
The states have to go all-in or sit tight. They go one at a time, they will be crushed one at a time. There would need to be a breakaway bloc that goes Galt as a massive ambush.

Cyprus will be bailed by the US unless they come to their senses and tell everyone to fuck off.
Bitch needs to redirect that anger and flap that shithole she calls a mouth at the Bearded One. If you got real balls you bag of shit, get your gold back in one week.
Cyprus isn't much bigger than Guam. I'm thinkin' there's a real danger of it tipping over and capsizing.

As mush as I would LOVE for this to blow up - everyone involved is backed into a corner and will cave to the pressure.
That said, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in the crosshairs of Russian mobsters I've just stole a couple billion from. Even if the EU bureaucrats themselves are safe (which is questionable) they have family to consider.

Wasn't their a Russian Jouno who dies in prison for suggesting that Putin stole from the mobsters?
If that were true, did he have any money in Cyprus?
Did Putin use, or offer to use, any influence in Cyprus?
Is Putin in the crosshairs of the mobsters?
Everyone has their pet Kennedy assassination theory - and I've always leaned towards the Mob being involved one way or another. If Putin stole from the mafia they will get him at some point.

Talk about one world government rule. How dare they ignore their rulers. The shit is getting thick.
Cyprus holds all the cards, just like Greece and Italy and Spain. The EU cannot allow a country or force a country to leave. The whole thing collapses if that happens via Redemptions. Russia knows this. Germany knows this. That is why Germany is so pissed they are trapped.
