"I'm Not Stupid" - Who Has The Last Laugh Caption Contest

Tyler Durden's picture




 

According to eyewitness accounts, the atmosphere at the marathon Greek bailout discussions in Brussels over the weekend began to resemble a "crazy kindergarten" on Saturday evening when the incorrigible German FinMin clashed with ECB chief Mario Draghi.

Any eurocrat who dared to suggest leniency for the Greeks incurred the terrible wrath of "The Schaueble" that night and indeed by the time the Eurosummit concluded on Monday morning, Germany got its way and no matter how "strong" Draghi might have appeared to the EU officials present in Brussels, the last laugh ultimately belongs to the German finance ministry.

For those who missed it, here are the details from Reuters followed by an image which we'll leave it to readers to caption.

Schaeuble also crossed swords with ECB governor Mario Draghi, snapping at the Italian central banker "I'm not stupid!"

 

"It was crazy, a kindergarten," said a source describing the overall course of nine hours of talks on Saturday among weary ministers attending their sixth emergency Eurogroup in three weeks. "Bad emotions have completely taken over."

 

Schaeuble and others seemed to favour a "Grexit", another participant said. The European Central Bank's Draghi seemed "the strongest European" in the room, most opposed to the risky experiment of cutting Greece loose and braving Schaeuble's ire by interrupting him during a discussion on Athens' debt burden.

"He looks like Michelle watching Obozo yuking it up with Sarkozy's young trophy wife."

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

"Bend Sinister" by Vladimir Nabokov features a character such as Schaeuble: "Paduk – Nicknamed "The Toad", he is the dictator of Padukgrad, former schoolmate of Krug and founder of Ekwilism."

"Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of art are the ultimate value, because they are the last refuge of resistance to the State. It has been argued, in fact, that actual totalitarianism is an impossibility, because man always retains his freedom of thought, even in prison. Both Nabokov and Orwell set out to refute this liberal commonplace. Where Orwell imagines that the State will destroy freedom of thought through terror—Winston Smith has a cage of rats strapped to his face, and breaks—Nabokov understood that the State has a far more sinister weapon. Human freedom is destroyed through the destruction of human warmth."

"“Devices which in some curious new way imitate nature are attractive to simple minds.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Bend Sinister

The Euro was created to destroy the economies of everyone within it as a means of control.  That's what the British Empire did under Thatcher, Mitterrand, and Bush I.

They sold it to the Germans as the price of reunification, and probably goad them into believing they would have more power.  They do... up to a point.

If they use that power, the British Empire knew it would make the Germans look bad, thus playing right into the hands of the Empire.

So the way it is set up, either the Germans go broke supporting the periphery, or the periphery go broke and placed before the altar of the Germans.  In the end, the dislocations and snap-backs from the Euro playing out to the endgame will destroy ALL ECONOMIES WITHIN THE EURO ZONE. 

That's why the U.K. still has its currency.  They knew it was going to self destruct, and smartly didn't give up the pound.

Who has the last laugh?  Hard to say, because under such a scenario I would say Queen Elizabeth II.  Except, we know that with the derivatives, the collapse of the Euro will collapse the world, so who is stupid? 

Apparently everybody involved.

The only way out is to serparate what's real with what's fake via Glass-Steagall, and let the fake collapse.

This whole episode is sickening, and you lot as I have read are a fucking good crowd on the whole.

And to think they print this filthy 'Script', from thin air.  Destroying real productive lives knowing full well what they are doing.
