Hollande is just another word for money printing.
Yup, that's the alternative to austerity, but they'll have to leave the Euro before they can debase their own currency.
I prefer Béarnaise.
Why Greece and the PIIGS need to be like role model Germany:

ALDI superstore managers filmed female shoppers as they bent over looking at appliances.....also filmed as they entered their PIN into the counter registers keypads as they made their payments.

It'll be a special Hollandeais sauce that France will embrace like a white flag on the Champs de Elysee.
Ahme#@$#, the village idiot.
He's not a village idiot, you boob.
No wonder Germany and Japan were allies in the big one. They share the same interests.
Makes you think we were allied with the USSR
Link and a small snippet, please.
Brevity is your friend.
The managers were especially interested in filming women in short skirts and and low-cut tops as they bent down to pick out items from refrigerator chests or shelves.
Shocking! I don't believe it. Show me the video :)
What's wrong with mayonaise?
With Sarkozy gone political midgets the world over are trying to find new growth avenues.
If Greece's number 1 industry is tourism, why don't they just drop out of the Euro, discharge their debt, and people will flock to Greece where it will be the only place fiat money will still buy boatloads of touristy trinkety crap!!??
One year of pain, then the tourists start arriving in droves! Now, that is how a free market works - say bye bye to the central planners!!!
Because then the international banking interests would get screwed, and we can't have that now can we.
German Imperial family is preparing false flag attacks and are prepared to blame the "left" (aka France). German officials conveniently release the foiled "leftist terrorist attack" AFTER socialist Hollande sodomized Sarkozy in sunday elections.

I spent a fair amount of time there when you got 30 drachs to the buck and even though it was late junta, the folks there seemed pretty happy and it was a great place go to.
They are in nowhere near as nice shape with the EU noose around their necks.
Fewer banks and a simpler life is NOT a bad thing - especially in Greece.
Now's the time to move to France if you feel guilty about having a lot of money.
Maybe warren buffet can go pay more taxes there.
Quoting from above:
"Berlin's Police President Margarete Koppers"
She was destined to become a police-person with a name like that.
How about mowing the lawn between your ears, Villageidiot?
Les Miserables, The Sequel, coming to France playing outside everywhere near you.
If Greece does that, they risk getting a dose of 'Arab Spring' sprinkled with some NATO bombing! But, yes, it is the only way.
Don't be so barbaric. It would just be a little kinetic military activity, with a dash of leveraging our investment in Tomahawk missiles, and a splash of tactical implementation of drones.
Yes, and a tad bit of collateral damage, nothing severe.
I think the most effective tactical drones were already implemented with Greenspan and Bernanke.
So, When money is only printed for the banks it not printing and therfore not evil?
Could there be a bank Hollandeday in France's future?
This and more over at my blog:
http://jmcaule-whatimlookingatrightnow.blogspot.ca/
There are absolutely no unintended consequences from Bernanke. They are all intended, and the intent is to do exacty what was done in the early 30s, which is a devaluation of the currency through printing. Very simple. In devaluation hoard hard assets. Period. Money printing is necessary, this is a form of default without massive bank failures. IIt is the modern day devaluation. Nothing new or innovative in that. Gold and Silver are just 2 out of a multitude of commodities available. Some have undershot recently (nat gas) other have been lagging, the range is wide and plentiful.
Merkel is waaayyyy to thin in this animation!
Yes because other than that it would've been accurate?
I think France is looking better than Greece and Greece is looking better than Zimbabwe.
And soon Zimbabwe will look better than U.S.
Yes, and we can then visit all our trillions of US dollars that have been reinvested all over Africa in agricultural ground, mining and development of natural resources (with the help of US backed merceniaries and a few military troops). The Chinese are not happy campers over western country African stakeouts as the Chinese have always perceived Africa as their backyard garden and are diligently and quietly ensconced.
Watch Africa closely. This is a shell game of distractions.
for now

Videos like the one in this story show the word is out much further in the world than the globalists would like. This guy Valls who is an assistant to Hollande is ears deep in the NWO plans. I would not be compelled to believe that Hollande is not at least right ahead or just behind him.
Video is by We Are Change Paris.
sabra1: they're ALL Bilderberg stooges.
Revenge of the Zombie Currencies.
LMAO
Enough money for everything, or at least plenty for the banks.
The dawn of a new golden age in Europe.
A Golden Dawn, in fact. Good luck with that...

Vive le France, vive the 75% wealth tax, vive, the Buffett tax,
watch everyone leave US after november, C$ on a tear.....15% canada tax vs us 45%
Thats got shades of Michael Jackson's "Thrilla" stamped all over it. All it needs is the screamy laff in the grave yard! Where are you Vincent Price?
SPX 48 hours....http://capital3x.com/think-tank/case-study-on-sample/
It's actually kind of funny watching these idiots fall. Too bad they are being replaced with bigger idiot banker tools. The next target is Germany. That will give the ECB all the freedom they need to print.
They will be replaced by tyrants and dictators who are not idiots, but psychopaths. Thats what we have to look forward to.
In particular, I enjoyed the "living dead" currencies rising from their respective graves.
I think it's time for Germany, Finland and Netherlands to exit euro. Then France, Spain, Italy and the rest can borrow, spend, print, wash, rinse, repeat their way to "prosperity". There's ONLY downside left for Ger, Fin and Netherlands. Oh, the remaining euro countries can keep their beloved unelected sociopaths in Brussels and create all the europonzi bonds they desire.
Do ghouls and ghosts vote...? Do they consume like mortals? Who cares how we call the new currency, as long as we burn the bankstas, before junking the old paper and issuing new paper without debt burden. And then we Glass Steagall the new potential shysters from repeating and regulate the bleaters from derivative cheating. We'll never change human nature, just try and keep it within the bounds of Rubiconese. Until the next shyster bubble. When we will be living in "groovy nirvana land" again, having conveniently forgotten those who were sacrificed for austerity pain during the drought years. Whats new Sisyphus, you're such a pussy keep pushing your load, up that straight n narrow.

Pepe nails most of it. The rest of these clowns don't get it, too busy looking at the their crystal balls: failed models.
I feel like I have been sitting on the edge of my seat for an eternity, I keep thinking "yep, THIS is IT! Now things are really going to kick off"
And time after time..................NOTHING.
I am trying to practice a default expectation of 'nothing will change'.
With the small print of 'except when it changes it will change SUDDENLY!
And probably in unexpected ways.
My Captain Obvious statement for the day.....
K@
Everybody's waiting 4 the worse thing that can happen so when it happens they'll wait until the next one.
ZH doomer fatigue. It's a pretty common response. As a great political analyst once told me, "Never underestimate the ability of the powers that be to just muddle through." It will always take longer than you expect, especially since we've been trained over our whole lives to expect ever more immediate gratification.
World can't end too soon 4 doomers. Wait till they see the afterlife. They'll think this place was heaven.
Things are changing/happening now. Its just harder to see and feel incremental change.
We look back at events in history books and we attach exact dates to events that, in retrospect, we realize were pivotal. Looking back, it seems like a series of big events, but to the people there at the time, things probably happened more slowly.
Right now, the tension of the system is building. The distortions getting bigger and bigger. This isn't "nothing happening". I think of it as a natural stage in the process. It doesn't defy logic, in fact it makes perfect sense that people will go on in denial, desperately clingling to the status quo and attempting to ignore the inevitable. Its human nature in action.
Sitting on the edges of our seats waiting for the inevitable, it will wear us down and drive us mad. I try not to do that. I just try to be thankful for another day to prepare myself. And I know that when something sudden happens, it won't happen in the way I imagined it anyway, so waiting in suspense won't help me a damned bit. Just some thoughts.
Well just when you think someone else can't fuck it up even more. Remind me why we even need governments again.
boohoo:
Government = slavery. That's why or why not... you choose.
i hope this thing drags on, the longer it drags, the longer we can stack.........and the longer they print, the greater the wealth transfer :-D
NWO assured. Where are my hoe, rake, and serf togs?
The collapse of the euro zone is not the end of the world; it is the end of world government.
It has been reported on ZH in Dummies Guide To Europe's Problems of the interdependence of Europe's nations, and hence, “the dangers of Hollande's election (which has now occurred) and the Greece austerity-revolt – ‘when you borrow too much money as a nation you become ungovernable and the true problem of a break in the political compact that will bring Europe to its knees.”
Countries are now “ungovernable” because the politicians borrowed too much money and in their sellout to the bankers, they never told the people the truth. If they had from the beginning, the people could have developed the country they wanted and made it work. America’s history is the proof. The people of Europe were never pushing for this banker-driven outcome.
These people are voting in a democracy; they see and live what’s happening. They are not interested in the lies and the cheating.
Their sentiment reaches all across Europe from Germany’s northern-most province to France. The significance of the French vote is that it’s the first time the voters have turned out an incumbent since ‘81. They weren’t voting for a socialist; they were voting for a different direction. They were not saying we want higher taxes or more welfare or more Goldman-style bank deals. They were saying: We don’t like what’s going on.
The so-called fringe groups are both on the far right and far left. When the far left garners a lot of votes and the far right a lot of votes, it’s hard to say it’s the “fringe.” Both the Greeks and the French were voting against the corruption.
How, then, can it be said that the people don’t know what they’re doing? They do know what they are doing; they voted against the center, i.e., the two established parties working together just as in the United States where both parties help each other, form coalitions, and agree to the central bankers’ terms. The Greek political system, just as now in the U.S., offered the people no choice; rather it was a choice between the two leading parties, a choice between “Democrats” and “Republicans”; both for bailout.
It’s as Hugh Hendry said May 1:"The political economy in Europe is such that the politicians chose to default on their spending obligations to their citizens in order to honor the pact with their financial creditors and so as time goes on, the politicians are being rejected."
All this while the media has been bemoaning what’s happening in Europe. And, now, when the people say they don’t like it, the spokesmen for financial terrorism want to go back to a banker-controlled euro zone.
I disagree with Tyler’s conclusion that “The Greek elections culminated with the worst possible outcome: 2 votes short of a majority for the pro-bailout New Democracy and Pasok parties.” The point is, will the controllers rule Europe or will the people? Europeans don’t want neo Nazis, they don’t want neo Stalinists, they don’t want Norman-Podhoretz neo Conservatives. They want self-determination; they want to control their own country, to control their own destiny. What can be wrong with that?
Agree. People voted both sides against the corrupt centre.
Who says you cant fight the system?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caqqBllZX1k&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The "worst possible outcome" referenced was that for the status quo, which explains why the stock market today has just pushed the envelope in manipulation in a desperate attempt to make it appear that things are fine.
Thanks for that observation! I agree with you.
Well explained. If we could get followers of both parties to vote for third party candidates en masse here in the States, it would send the same message. Problem is our people are not as well read, nor as intelligent.

Hmm, I came to the same conclusion re: Obamatron in 2008!
"The collapse of the euro zone is not the end of the world; it is the end of world government."
You're one of the very few that gets this point. The failure of the European Union is the failure of the New World Order and the best possible outcome with regards to the preservation of human liberty.
I, however, view the "financial crisis" as having been engineered by men of power to create conditions in which their next steps can be successfully carried out. As the financial system is an artificial construct, crises within it can be artificially created by those who wield significant influence over that system.
What is the end game? Why the surrender of national sovereignty, human liberty, and self determination to the Supra-National One World Government commonly referred to as the New World Order.
Yes!
Why? Why are would be tyrants, bankers, preparing totalitarian solutions to the world crisis they have created using threats of national bankruptcy? Why do governments listen to them? Why does not Congress abolish the Fed? I can only say it is nothing more or less than pure evil, pure lust for power over mankind by men “bidding all men fall in step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command,” to use Charles Eliot Norton’s phraseology.
This quote of Ayn Rand in her introduction to We the Living has enabled me somewhat to understand evil, to understand those men who think man exists only for the good of the State.
“I could not understand how a man could be so brutalized as to claim the right to dispose of the lives of others, nor how any man could be so lacking in self-esteem as to grant to others the right to dispose of his life. Today, the contempt has remained; the incredulity is gone, since I know the answer … of the men who value their own lives and of the men who don’t … the first are the Prime Movers of mankind and the second are the metaphysical killers, working for an opportunity to become physical ones. … men motivated either by a life premise or a death premise.”
Why?
It is what I refer to as the "tyrannical human archetype." There are a significant number of people born into this world who believe they are truly superior to the rest of humanity and have a God given right and duty to tell other people what to do. This tyrannical drive is especially strong among European peoples, as manifested by their intellectual creations: socialism, communism, fascism, and general statism.
In this regard the United States is actually one of the least totalitarian "Western" societies, even as we descend ever deeper into the pits of police state tyranny. What you have in place of centrally dictated totalitarianism such as what is experience in an outright socialist/communist/fascist state, is the tyranny of the petty tyrant. From the person at your HOA that tells you when you can and cannot take your trash out; to the people at the PTA and BOA that decide what your children will be taught, fed, etc; to the myriad other official sounding organizations of tyrannical people that believe they have the right to decide how others will live.
And this aspect of American totalitarianism is not new at all. And in many respects the worship of authority, obedience to the central state, and police state observed in America in recent decades are outgrowths of these tens of millions of petty tyrants and their yearning for power over their neighbor.
But in the case of the elite, telling you what color you can paint your mail box is not nearly enough to sate their lust for dominance. They want to micro-manage every aspect of human existence. They believe they have a right and duty to do so, based in their superiority over the rest of humanity. And with the ever growing ability to mine and process data, their dreams of total dominance are coming closer and closer to reality.
You are mistaken in your belief that the bankers are a separate group from the politicians. The defining characteristic of most Western governments today is fascism. There is no real separation between these two groups or their interests. The interests of the bankers/corporations are the interests of the political class. And all the various compartments of the modern fascist state attract and reward persons of tyrannical character orientation.
If you've been reading Zero Hedge for the past year or so you should have come to this conclusion independently, even if you were a main-stream-media fed sheep before coming here. They've laid out the case plain as day. The revolving door between Goldman Sachs and governments world wide. The ties between the political elite and corporate/banking elite. It's all right there. Well, most of it.
My wife is French, and an American cannot begin to understand how socialist the French are. They basically want everything for free....
You should've married an Asian. At least she would've eaten your laundry.
we dont want everything for free
we want to share the cost of basic and needed stuff like health care, public transports, education. We do pay a lot of taxes to support that. so it s not free.
It s like all your insurances : you pay for it, just in case you have an accident, to share the cost, it s socialism.
The difference is that in france a lot of insurances are mandatory and managed by the governement, because at the end it s less costly (look at your health care in US, the most costly, the less effective).
It´s simple, Mr. An American, they want free healthcare and education, BASIC STUFF, not free playstations 3´s or plasma TV´s. As a LatinAmerican ... ///(you "Americans" should start calling yourselves NorthAmericans or something like that, AMERICA IS THE WHOLE CONTINENT, not just you)/// ... I can´t understand how it can be so hard for sooooo many NORTHAmericans to grasp the concept of BASIC STUFF vs EVERYTHING.
The French are beyond socialism. The only reason we don't call them communist is because of the negative connotations that word carries after Stalinist Russia.
And on that note, the reason the media always calls the Soviet Union "Stalinism" is because most of the Leftist media believes in communism philosophically and therefore does not want to taint its name by associating it with Soviet Russia.
Austerity marches on unfazed.

Can we join the Euro so we can vote ourselves Germany's money as well? Germany must be pissed this morning.
So Hollande is France's "Hope and Change".
How long before it turns to "No Hope and Chump Change" and the French workers go out on strike?
Debt and Default
versus
Debt and Empoverishment
Well, "debt and default" is better, because the fiat, fake, fraud, fiction, fantasy, fractional reserve banksters take it in the balls, as they deserve. Hopefully default makes it impossible for the government to borrow any more, thereby leading to massive reduction in government == massive improvement for everyone else.
Wishful thinking. As long as fiat money and central banks exist, they'll probably find some other fraudulant, authoritarian way to totally destroy the economy.
ah so tyler would have been happy with sarkozy...
Yup, it's going to be a chaotic stumble toward Keynesian-deficit-paid-for-by-money-printing summer. It's probably too late for Greece, though.
Meanwhile, just wait: the surplus countries might be the ones that leave the euro.
didnt they say that 1930's the GD1 went on so long because they ceased stimulus too soon and went with austerity? i say porint more cash and buy me a camaro
Meh,
the best type of socialism is bankster socialism ! Privatise the profits, socialise the losses.
This and more over at my blog:
http://jmcaule-whatimlookingatrightnow.blogspot.ca/
Well as a Frenchman seeing the future of France in jeopardy I hope to be pleasantly surprized by Mr Holland. But I KNOW he will be a total faillure, whatever damage Sarkozy and his buddies did in 5 years, the Socialists can do twice as much in a single year! Now if this isn't productivity gain I dont know what it is...
He will soon "fall from grace" as we say. Very much like Sarkozy inspired hopes 5 year ago many of Holland's faithfull voters will be sorely disapointed by his ineptitude. Alhought I cannot deny the man has qualites of his own, glory is fickle and could vanish the second umemployment fails to vanish.
Plus, he has never had to make it through a crisis and seeks to copy the "Great" François Mitterand, whom If I may say was tyrant who utterly failled to improve the situation. In fact it was under socialsit government that unemployment went from conjunctural to structural!
If things get too messy I guess I can always go to New Zeland, I heard they like French people here...
Viewing France and Europe from a great distance from America, it seems the first order of business was to keep Sarkozy from being re-elected because for America and Europe the most dangerous future would be a world government with the loss of sovereignty for individual nations.
This march to world government depends on a stronger central power in Europe; one under control of the international bankers. These bankers have no interest in the individual aspirations of the people of France, Greece, America, or any other country. And a stronger central Europe means loss of freedom for every Frenchman, and a unified Europe under control of the bankers is a danger to the sovereignty of America.
To face the re-election of Sarkozy was to face increased loss of sovereignty. I’m not a Frenchman, but I would think that is a Frenchman’s most important issue. Sarkozy was engineering the loss of sovereignty for France; Sarkozy is a European and not a Frenchman. To give him another term was unthinkable.
I share your concerns regarding the election of Hollande. But I believe defeating Sarkozy had to be given priority. The threat of national bankruptcy is designed to push all nations into the Establishment Insider's "new world order." We must all beware of where their false leaders will take us. The solution, IMO, begins with abolishment of the Federal Reserve.
Good luck to you and to France.
Thank you for your concern!
As the lastest entries of this website confirms, the opposition at its core intends to implement the very same policies, there is just a different mask. I wouldn't be suprised if in 5 years Marine Lepen from the far right party le Front National was elected.
I am not entierly sure but it seems to me that Mario Monti the IMF puppet ruler of Italy admitted that should the country see it mark "demoted" any further Itatly would fall and along with it Spain France and of course the Whole of Europe.
Did you know that the French former currency the "Franc" was named so because it means "free"? it was first minted during the hundred year war (14th to 15th century) for the Ransom of King John II The Good, prisonner of the English. The Loss of the Franc literally means the loss of freedom.
We were doing pretty well until our "leaders" made it compulsory to sell treasury bonds on the international currency market in 1973! Merci President Pompidou ( who was a former employee of Lehman Brothers need I say?).
Also depending on how hard and how soon, peak oil will hit Europe and the USA ,the situation may change very quickly.
Regards.
