Europe Finally Comes Out: Obama's Reelection "Uber Alles" Determines Europe's Future
For those to whom this comes as a surprise, following the periodic jaunts of Tim Geithner to Europe explaining just what is truly important in life, not to mention Obama's daily phone calls to Mario Monti, we feel truly sorry:
- EU-IMF REVIEW OF GREEK DEBT SITUATION SET TO BE DELAYED UNTIL AFTER U.S. ELECTION - EUROPEAN OFFICIALS
And the punchlines:
- "Obama doesn't want anything on a macroeconomic scale that is going to rock the global economy before Nov. 6," a senior EU official told
- "As far as European leaders are concerned, they don't want Romney, so they're probably willing to do anything to help Obama's chances," said the source, an EU official involved in finding solutions to the debt crisis.
One kinda wonders: just what has Obama promised a broke Europe in return? Don't answer: it's rhetorical. It's also "fair."
At least it is finally clear that the entire world's agenda is to get Obama reelected, broke Athens municipalities no longer collecting garbage, and running out of cash to pay the local Five-Oh notwithstanding.
Get ready for reality to come crashing down once the second coming is completed on November 6, and surreality is no longer needed.
Full article confirming that the entire developed world is now not only broke, but socialist as well:
An EU-IMF report into whether Greece's debt is manageable looks set to be delayed until after Nov. 6 because policymakers want to avoid any shock to the global economy before the U.S. election, EU officials and diplomats say.
The report by the 'troika' of Greece's foreign lenders -- the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund -- was expected during October, possibly before a meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Oct. 8.
The study provides the basis for decisions on whether to disburse the next tranche of aid to Athens, which may otherwise run out of money to pay wages and pensions, default on its debt and perhaps be forced to leave the euro area.
Differences inside the troika about the precise extent of Greece's debt problems, combined with political pressure to hold off for another few weeks, look likely to mean a delay until mid-November. In the meantime, Greece will be kept afloat by issuing short-term treasury bills and its banks will get access to emergency funds from the Greek central bank.
"The Obama administration doesn't want anything on a macroeconomic scale that is going to rock the global economy before Nov. 6," a senior EU official told Reuters, adding that previous troika reports had also slipped.
Several sources in Germany said top officials in Washington had made clear in numerous conversations with their German and European counterparts that they would prefer no surprises before the tightly contested election.
"It's likely the troika report will be pushed back beyond the U.S. election date," said a Berlin official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Asked if that was a special request from Washington, he replied: "They don't want any surprises."
The European Commission's spokesman on finance said on Friday the troika would take a week-long break from its work in Athens, the second time it has interrupted its mission since it began in late July, adding to expectations of a delay.
"The inspectors are expected to return to Athens in about a week," spokesman Simon O'Connor told reporters.
"As for a conclusion of the mission, I don't have any dates to share with you," he said, adding that it should be some time during October. "We can't say exactly when."
If Greece is off-target by a wide margin, as many economists predict, financial markets will react negatively, concerned that another round of debt restructuring will be required to get government finances back on a stable footing.
A negative troika report could also revive pressure to force Greece out of the single currency area with potentially devastating knock-on consequences for other European countries and the global economy.
European leaders have the same interests as the U.S. president in not destabilising markets -- their own economies have also been badly affected by the fallout from Greece, where the sovereign debt crisis began in January 2010.
But one source said EU leaders' motives went beyond macroeconomic stability. They also had political reasons to avoid rocking the boat before the U.S. election.
"As far as European leaders are concerned, they don't want Romney, so they're probably willing to do anything to help Obama's chances," said the source, an EU official involved in finding solutions to the debt crisis.
The problem for Obama is that if Europe's leaders are seen, implicitly or otherwise, to be working to bolster his reelection chances, it could provide ammunition for the Romney campaign.
European leaders have repeatedly been accused of acting too slowly and in a confused way to resolve the crisis, with a knock-on negative impact on the United States. If they are now seen to be allying with Obama, it could dent his popularity.
So dear Greeks, Spaniards, Portuguese, and all other soon to be broke nations, who are stuck not knowing if you will ever get a pension payment, if the money in your bank is safe, or if there is nobody to collect your garbage, thank the US president.
Also: buy every December VIX call option you can find cause the feces sure are gonna hit the fan once the BS is finally over and truth can no longer be delayed.

The SHIT Hits The Proverbial FAN after Obamba Gets Re-Crowned ...
I don't know what the world will look like on Nov 7th, but I'm long popcorn.
[Fast] FORWARD
~~~
There's an AD CLICK for Obama Re-election STATE T-Shirts ($30) bucks each... I wonder if the T-Shirts are available for all "57" states...
Clever Francis... LOL
It's not up to the 47%. It's up to Diebold.
Wouldn't you know it, that was the plan all along.
Live free or Die Bold
The obvious problem with this "crash after the election please" request is that everyone is going to front run it.... Which means it will happen before the election whether he likes it or not.
President Obama Asks Medvedev for ‘Space’ on Missile Defense — ‘After My Election I Have More Flexibility’
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlXK8o70Se0
After the election will be a bitch.
Das Gift How Angela Merkel's bold plan to save Europe may have just saved Barack Obama.
I have a great secret that I wish to reveal.
My mere revealing of this secret jeopardizes my safety.
Obama, through his court jester, Timmay, has sent a sealed package in the shape of a small box to European Leaders. The attached note warns them to not open it until November 7, 2012, assuming official U.S. Presidential election results have been diebold-ed....I mean tabulated...and that Obama has been crowned Divine Emperor of the Western Constellation.
Within this box there is a Staples 'Easy Button,' first passed from Greenspan to the Bernank, inscribed with the phrase (and instructions):
There is also a handwritten note from Obama and co-signed by both The Bernank & iKrugman, asking, dryly:
False Flag Event (FFE) anyday now :)
i , like many have been expecting that all hell breaks loose after the election.....and it will get so bad that obama , like past saviors will offer the only way out and that we will have to tear up the final piece of the constitution to do it...like they did with giuliani and 911...bloomberg throwing in an extra term , you know cause new york cant exist without him...rules and laws are an illusion...we will all have the new hitle....i mean obama flag flying soon...
I'd wager it'll happen in Chicago. Only makes sense. Run forest run.
This read is insightfully fascinating: http://washingtonexaminer.com/introduction-the-obama-you-dont-know/article/2508080
Let's shorten the article, Europe says: give me some of that Obama cash from the Obama stash
Yes because I bet there is a deal in the works for USA to bail out Europe AFTER the election. The "O" knows if he did it before that he will lose...
Europe won't have to worry about paying for gas! They won't have to worry about paying their mortgages!
Europe's got a feevah, and the only puhscription, is more Paul Krugman.
Popcorn and marshmallows. Burning civilization makes them nice and toasty.
An Obama reelection brings certainty: immediate collapse.
A Romney election brings uncertainty: collapse later rather than sooner.
As a businessman, I prefer certainty and will be voting for Obama as many times as they will let me.
You don't understand the mechanics of the collapse. You are correct in the inevitability of collapse, but the mechanism for delaying the collapse is more debt, more printing, more spending. I basically said the same thing that you are saying here about a Ron Paul presidency. Paul would have brought about the collapse more quickly... and would have earned my vote because of it.
There is no difference between Romney and Obama... and that is by design.
Maybe he promised Germany their gold back..
Gotcha!
I Guess Our GOLDie Really Takes Off After The Bumba Re-Coronation...
That's why we're called Sheeple, Obahhhma.
That's why we're called Sheeple, Obahhhma.
That's why we're called Sheeple, Obahhhma.
Once Obama is reappointed he'll do everything in his power to make sure merkal stays in power and so on and so forth. This is the game of neverending musical chairs. The music never stops, they have high jacked the DJ
Since we don't appoint Presidents, I assume you meant "reannointed", which is what is actually underway.
I vote for a One World Government.. I like the uniforms.
Is there an anti-Obama country that will PURPOSELY create a negative reality before the election to make Obummer look bad? Ask yourself that. Which country is that?
Israel
Stuck the landing.
Most people want to kill them.....but I like them. It's an oasis in a land of crazy.
The Apartheid State of Israel, despite the rhetoric, probably isn't sweating an Obama victory as much as people think...
All it does is DELAY things for them... They've been saying that Iran acquiring a nuke is "imminent" for more than 20 years now... It all gets ratcheted up around election time because, as alwas, they want to have their say in American politics...
If Obama wins... PLAN B is to somehow get Biden the hell out of there (which shouldn't be hard), and move Hitlery into the VEEP spot... Hitlery would the the same as Romney in their eyes... A little messier, but same result in the long run...

A timeline of warnings since 1979.
Breathless predictions that the Islamic Republic will soon be at the brink of nuclear capability, or – worse – acquire an actual nuclear bomb, are not new.
For more than quarter of a century Western officials have claimed repeatedly that Iran is close to joining the nuclear club. Such a result is always declared "unacceptable" and a possible reason for military action, with "all options on the table" to prevent upsetting the Mideast strategic balance dominated by the US and Israel.
And yet, those predictions have time and again come and gone. This chronicle of past predictions lends historical perspective to today’s rhetoric about Iran.
1984: Soon after West German engineers visit the unfinished Bushehr nuclear reactor, Jane's Defence Weekly quotes West German intelligence sources saying that Iran's production of a bomb "is entering its final stages." US Senator Alan Cranston claims Iran is seven years away from making a weapon.
Though Israel had secretly done business with the Islamic Republic after the 1979 revolution, seeking to cultivate a Persian wedge against its local Arab enemies, the early 1990s saw a concerted effort by Tel Aviv to portray Iran as a new and existential threat.
1992: Israeli parliamentarian Benjamin Netanyahu tells his colleagues that Iran is 3 to 5 years from being able to produce a nuclear weapon – and that the threat had to be "uprooted by an international front headed by the US."
1992: Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres tells French TV that Iran was set to have nuclear warheads by 1999. "Iran is the greatest threat and greatest problem in the Middle East," Peres warned, "because it seeks the nuclear option while holding a highly dangerous stance of extreme religious militancy."
1992: Joseph Alpher, a former official of Israel's Mossad spy agency, says "Iran has to be identified as Enemy No. 1." Iran's nascent nuclear program, he told The New York Times, "really gives Israel the jitters."
despite the rhetoric
On top of it actually.
Israel will screw America no matter what. That's who they are. That's what they do. And we give them money and protection to fuck us up the ass. Shalom, Bitchez!!!
Nice, Francis, I knew Iran Nuke has been a half-century red herring but you did the homework. +40. Iran invasion my ass. We'll see Civil War before that happens.
Ranking of populations of Jews outside of Israel:
1) USA
2) Iran
...or thereabouts.
That said... Now that Mr. (47%) Romney has effectively kissed his own ass goodbye... In the strategic realm of things, BIDEN needs to start watching his 6 o'clock...
~~~
http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/BODIES.html
Though, in my mind... a douch like Biden would probably just be glad to take a $200 million bribe, & ride off into the sunset under some cover story that he developed alzheimers or something... Nobody would give a rats ass about Biden anyway... Probably a cover story that would only last a day or two...
Wow!!
biden and his ilk sell themselves for a fraction (try 0.1%) of what you have stated.........
@Translational
You're prolly right... I'm just trying to extrapolate BERNANKE induced hyperinflation... I'm limited to the tools of any at large 'eCONomist' (a ruler & a purple crayon)... & I haven't even taken the correspondence course on 'parabolic curves' yet... So I'm clearly fishing here...
It's pretty clear to me now why RP&RP did what they did.
Why TD got out of Dodge.
I'm curious where you got that crazy statistic. It's not even close to being true.
outside of Israel, just about every source for statistics list
1. USA
2. France
3. Canada
4. United Kingdom
Obama's deal with Europe? What about Romney's deal with Israel? Is it war with Iran? I understand that Romney raised a lot of illegal foreign contributions during his trip there.
The 57th state.
The answer is China, and they've already begun creating a negative reality vis a vis Japan. Anyone answering "Israel" just does not understand who's who among fascists in the evil British Foreign Office's back pocket. Obama is one and Bibi is two, which fact leads one to laugh at those calling Obama a "socialist." Indeed, the Tory right is so utterly incompetent it can't even manage a smoke screen without appearing Her Royal Bankruptcy's loyal servants.
Would you expect anything different?? One Socialist block backing another,,,,,,,,,,,,
What happens if there is no election nov.6?
What if they gave an election and nobody voted?
GOLD BITCHEZ!!
Is it me or is gold powering up every 8 days or so?
8 is our ruckiest number.
Well if that proves out, I'll back slap!
ZH needs a scoreboard for questions like this. That would draw eyes and get hits. Which commenters make the best predictions?
8 is the symbol for 'infinity' flipped up 90 degrees vertical...
I am sure if only Obama and Rommny voted , Obama would get 2 votes, Rommney does not want to win I am telling ya.
Here's what I think... I think he likely wants to win, but was selected for us to insure that he wouldn't. I think that is more or less true of all of the candidates provided to us by the republican wing of our one party system. I think the same was true in 2004 with the Dems. How remarkable is it that two such wildly unpopular presidents could not attract a good candidate to run against him?
Whoever wins in 2012 will be the one to whom the blame will placed. The crash is inevitable. So the questions are... how can the power that be best 1) insure blame is not placed correctly, 2) advance whatever their vision of what should come next might be? I don't know those answers.
great post! thank you for restoring a tiny bit of trust in people
I thought they played this game last time when McCain picked Paulin.
Here are my thoughts on Palin, for what they are worth. I think Palin has served to destroy any legitimacy the "tea party" might have had. I believe that there was, at the very beginning, a unique movement somewhere within the tea party. Our one party system that masquerade as a two party system can't have that, so the Tea Party needed to be consumed by the Republicans. The did this in a lot of ways... they astroturfed some, they defined and redefined things here and there, and infiltrated where they needed (mainly by running "tea party candidates" who are still just republicans at the end of the day. Palin helped in all of these areas. I don't think she knows this. I really don't. I think most of the actors are unknowing but willing pawns. It actually works better that way. I think Palin also made the "tea party movement" just look dumb. Any chance that it might have had to attract bright people hoping for some sort of alternative to the two parties ended with Palin... by design.
But here we are, just one election cycle later, and the tea party is nothing really... it's just some badge that someone who was previously a republican wants to wear to show how much better of republican they are than some other republican. circle jerk.
I agree.. The Tea Party was hijacked and has turned off supporters that were waking up. Disguntled Tea Baggers are more disgruntled with the repubs and are joining the ranks of the Great Pissed Off!
Yeah, a few months ago at least I speculated the Romney would at some point get caught saying something stupid. I suspect there is more to come - but only once we get closer. TPTB have to make this look legit and the 50-50 (+/- a few percent) race really says everything here. Complete theater.
Yeah... I agree. 50/50 +/- serves a couple of purposes, I think. As you say, it provides some legitimacy and it provides some theater. Both are big goals. It also keeps the pendulum easy to swing. I've said this here a bunch of times, but our wars in the middle east had grown fairly unpopular... so if your goal is to continue and to expand, what can you do? Well, run an anti-war candidate, get him elected, and escalate. It's quiets the anti-war crowd a good bit. This is nothing new... it's the Richard Nixon blueprint... we just don't connect the dots. 50/50 is always the goal... they keep tinkering with "platforms" to insure the result. I laugh when people say that the republican party will become obsolete because of demographics. No. If American politics survives long enough, the parties will shift to ensure the basic 50/50 split, by hook or by crook.

Or... what if they orchastrate a divide that keeps people arguing over non-issues so that the criminals who run the show can continue to run the show without anyone noticing while continuing to allow us to vote for people who they have carefully vetted. What if?
Well, I'm never voting for a party that interferes with a woman and her body!

Well, I'm never voting for a party that doesn't support the sanctity of marriage!

THERE'S A WAR ON WOMEN!
THERE'S A WAR ON CHRISTMAS!
THERE'S A WAR ON CHILDREN!
THERE'S A WAR ON TEH GAYS!
THERE'S A WAR ON OUR GENITALS!
WAR! WAR! WAR!!!
And none of these WARS would be possible if power weren't so centralized in the Imperial government. None of these wedge issues is even the properly considered jurisdiction of the Federal Government under the Constitution. The Imperial government of the USSA, however, just makes shit up as it goes along.
There is no reason for every state to be forced to be like California, nor every state to be forced to be like Kansas.
States' Rights, Hard 10th Amendment, & decentralization.
It's worse than U think.
It is remarkable to watch... it really is. And sometimes it's hard to not get swept up in it. My state made news in the anti gay marriage thing during the last cycle. And while part of me wanted to be active in supporting the right for people to do whatever the fock they want, I know that in doing so, I'm nothing more than a pawn in a wedge issue that is co-opted in order to divide people. Whatever, we are all pawns anyway. I guess I feel some amount of satisfaction in at least understanding the game.
Haha krid almost sounds like you are a fellow Tar Heel?
I loved asking people (on either side of that debate) what business of the state is it if two people want to get married (in the state's eyes it is a 3 way contract, nothing more).
Loved the venom from the fundies on that one.

"What happens if there is no election nov.6?"
Same thing that happens if there is an election.
Please... elections provide the air of legitimacy to the charade. We will elect our hitler just like germany did. It will be after the shit hits the fan.

cant they speed this election thing up to the last Tuesday in September.....Europe is hurting NOW
They must be pretty damn stupid if they think that there will be a different idiot occupying the oval office for the next four years other than the current fool. Even if there was a change of idiots everything would remain the same.
Let's just hope we don't get an even bigger idiot. What tells me Mitt is a bigger idiot? The fact that he is running for the position in the first place.
Every president is now the worst in history. The next one will be worse -- even if he's the same one.

Just more evidence of who really runs the western world. The banking and financial families of old Europe. Like "Voldemort" in Harry Potter, dare we speak their names, Rothschild, Windsor, Rockefeller, Morgan...
Where is all the interest on all the debt currently going? Debt that is created by a relative few people with a single keystroke, yet requires everyone else to toil tirelessly away to pay back. We have been here before people.
long guillotines motherfuckers. Want to be in a "growth industry", become an undertaker.
any comments on the richest country with 552 inhabitants called the Vatican?
How big is their army? How many resources do they have on the land mass they control? Possession is the law moving forward. Do those 552 have the means to support themselves on the land mass they control and can they defend it?
The Vatian is a City State and probably has access to the means to defend itself, as does the City State of London (the square mile) and District of Columbia.
right, because one tactical nuke won't make the whole region a mess. -FAIL.
if you own 20% of all italian cities real estate and a vast amount of real estate around the world, who cares if you have an army or getting nuked.
Rothschild does not have an army. The power of money is invisible.
read the book Vatican Inc. by gianluigi nuzzi, you might learn something.
Been asking the same thing but for some reason not even google gives accurate answers about the money flows' direction.

The whole fucking reason we are in this fucking mess is we have have fucking decades of fucking politicians putting their fucking election campaign above managing the fucking economy. Trouble is, it simply proves how fucking stupid the voters are.
It's also a result of our form of government. We have an 'omnipotent' elected assembly that forms a majority to serve the interests of a few. Hayek spoke about this in the 1970s and indicated that disillusionment was growing. He called it pernicious...
Have faith my firends, that which is not sustainable, won't be sustained. Build real wealth in your family, your employees and those you chose to associate with.
You want these fucking politicians fucking managing the fucking economy?
Well, fuck. That's what you fucking got.

Their job is to enforce the rules. Period. End of sentence.
"Their job is to enforce the rules. Period. End of sentence."
I wish that were true, but, sadly, Congress takes their "lawmaker" role far too seriously. I had once thought that the President, as executive, was supposed to be the enforcer of laws.....but that was obviously a flawed assumption on my part.

It is said that Obama had asked Isreal to not bomb Iran until after election, when he would support the strike. bye Iran.
That works well to explain the recent "tension" btw Obama and Israel that is being sold to the public.

I'm interested to see if obomba tries to do a putin or chavez and serve four terms in office by manipulating the constituion; the horror.
Russian constition says noone can serve three consecutive terms, so he magically became prime minister for 3rd term under puppet Medvedev to negate this pesky ruling, then was "re-elected" as president this year - four consecutive terms in power.
Chavez wants to reform the Venezuelan constitution so lifetime re-election is included.

As the ONLY guy who put Greece on the map as a geopolitical concern the fact that it is now beholden to whomever may be the next President of the United States is not a surprise (nor quite frankly does it bother me actually.) That leaves only two people I might add...and I have NO PROBLEM with EITHER. As an old girlfriend reminded me while I was in the service (who worked with then and STILL CURRENT Senator Patty Murray I might add) "Bill Clinton: Commander in Chief." I've still got that hat actually...:o
