Merkel Says No European Shared Liability As Long As She Lives

Tyler Durden's picture




 

For. The. Win.

  • GERMANY'S MERKEL SAYS EUROPE WILL NOT HAVE SHARED LIABILITY FOR DEBT AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

Socialism better have a Plan B.

Gold, Silver, Stocks, Treasury Yields, and EUR all plunging...

 

and in the meantime, Spain and Italy yields push higher and Spain and Italy bank stocks plunge further...

Why is Merkel doing all of this? Simply. We have said it n times before... We will say it again:

Germany will continue pushing every peripheral country closer to the brink (which helps Germany courtesy of increasing pressure on the EURUSD, which benefits the only real net exporter and mercantilism beneficiary in the Eurozone - Germany - by now only absolute economic dilettantes don't seem to understand this) until such time as PIIGS (and then all the other formerly core - here's looking at you socialist "fairness doctrine" entrants) come begging for any scrap that whoever is in charge of Germany will be willing to hand them, in the form of a Debtor In Possession loan of course, and thus accretive to Bunds. If that means presenting their gold to the German Cash4Gold pawn shop under the guise of a Redemption Fund or whatever it is called, so be it. Unless of course, everyone keeps demanding that Germany bail them out. In which case Merkel will just unpack that brand spanking new shipment of DEMs and be done with it.

Regardless of whether Germany is doing this to dominate the continent (which I don't doubt as a motive which I'm not privy to), their underlying principle of "Don't spend more than you can tax" still is valid, correct? How ironic would it be if a Fourth Reich came about by using the principles of sound finance. I don't pretend to know nearly as much as the valuable information I've read here for the past half-year, so someone tell me if I'm wrong here.

Calculations that Germans lose more by letting PIGS go into default misses a big problem. THEY WILL NEED TO BE BAILED OUT ON AN ONGOING BASIS, NOT JUST ONCE!

Germany knows very well that peak oil effects on the economy may be forcing austerity no matter what games are played in finance and debt structuring. Maybe that is part of the reason Germany will be hard to budge on austerity. Growth requires cheap energy and cheap resource inputs.

http://peak-oil.com/download/Peak%20Oil.%20Sicherheitspolitische%20Impli...

In English :
http://www.zentrum-transformation.bundeswehr.de/resource/resource/MzEzNT...

From that report :

3.1.4 Intra-societal Risks of Peak Oil

Since modern national economies strongly rely on inexpensive fossil raw materials, in particular oil, peak oil would pose considerable challenges to most countries and societies in the event of an incomplete or insufficient post-fossil transformation process. These challenges could entail restrictions in the mobility systems, interruptions in economic structures as well as an erosion of confidence in state institutions.

At first glance, it seems obvious that a phase of slowly declining oil production quantities would lead to an equally slowly declining economic output.

hopng for a peak in peak oil nonsense, but with you aronud guessing there is plenty more supply to be had. Sad thing there is very little demand for your nonsense but you just keep producing it...reminds me of natural gas, oh the irony.

The German military wrote that report. Suspect it was well thought out and thoroughly researched and not just nonsense. The things the report covers may be a very good explanation of why there is economic weakness in so many places and in so many business models. Since mainstream economists got these economic crises so wrong on so many levels, maybe it's time to look outside the box.

The german military wrote it wow! Well thought out. I bet. They should become speculators with that vast knowledge.  Or is it like fortune tellers? They only use their powers for certain purposes.

And anyone who believes one European politician with some 20% votes of the population should be saying things like "as long as i am alive", is even more stupid than she is. The eurozone can break up or do whatever they want, as far as I am concerned, but the ego of Merkel is a big, empty bubble.

And one more comment before going out to have coffe and at least see many pretty brazilian girls on my street: All those words they have invented for you believers, like: capitalism, socialism, republicans, democrats and so on, mean very little indeed. They were invented so fools keep believing, working and if need be dying to protect the property of the 5% of the population. Have a great day!

The rest of the Euro leaders are not happy. You can imagine the headline days from now....Merkel's plane accidentally crash's in a French field.  

 

Or is it all a dog and pony show for the German people, to show she's tough? She buckles in to pressure some time later.

inly a fool would believe a head of state's "bargaining position" going into a summit (especially this one)  is final;  plenty of them around

no one seems aware that NAT0 is lifting angela's skirts as she issues this propwash for the masses, which apparently think NAT0 is included as a europeon birthright

writing about georgia yesterday, people didn't seem to realize it was well into the steps to joining NAT0 when the rooskie tanks rolled thru and shelled tiblis recently

several of the "new" NAT0 hopefuls were seen in a new light that day, btw...

this is the guns part of the gunsNbuerre;  shhhhh....  nobody talk about it...   don't think of it as connected w/ "sovs" & "banksters" ok? 

and pretend angela is telling. the. truth. 4. da. win.  L0L!!! 

even goldilocksCrisisTM is chillin and jellin today, BiCheZ!

the puppetmasters are just beginning to welcome the peanut gallery to the excitement and entertainments planned for the rest of the week...

Why does it have to be Germany they go begging to? China has to be licking their chops every time she says "nein"  while they wait for the final capitulation of cash starved Europeam nations and financial companies. The chance to trade their US Treasuries for choice European assets at the ultimate fire sale prices must be like a dream come true.

No means no...Berlusconi did't get this and Monti won't either...but kidding aside, Bill C. probably got a hard on when he read this story in the am.  Also, I believe it became a fairly big deal for the Germans to get back control of their banking system a number of generations ago.  I doubt they will be in a hurry to open the doors back up in favor of the same groups.

Likelyhood this happens? 0%!

Merkel has so far given in on anything. It's just a matter of time. I remember how we started with no money for Greece, then had Greece as the exception but no other country,... Now this friday she wants to push the ESM through which basically will end German sovereinity.

Assuming that Merkel has the interests of Germans in mind is where you head towards the wrong direction. Yes she could do all that, but then all politicians in Germany are in the business of weakening their own country.

The Little Red Hen is starting to say no.

These shared liabilities for Europe and the bailouts for the southern European countries are intended to replenish the accounts of the banks, particularly the big banks.

As in the original story of the Little Red Hen, the industrious people provided for themselves and for their future through hard work; others refused to help with planting the seeds, or harvesting the wheat or baking the bread. But when the baked loaves were ready, they wanted to share in eating them.

IOW, they wanted shared liability, which guarantees baked-bread bailout without the work.

I just figured it out.

 

Samaras of NEw Democracy had to say 'we'll renegotiate'  so that he and the other two parties in his coalition would get enough votes to govern.

 

Now, they're calling in sick, en masse, because if they go to the Euro meeting they're gonna be fed their hats. They northerners have no intention of even discussing Greece on the 28/29 of June.

That would make a near-record phoney-promise to lie-revealed, of

about 5 days. Not bad, when the media is controlled.
