Stealing your Money - Cyprus Savers - EU

Telegraph: Reports the following from EU on Cyprus, " European finance ministers have urged Cyprus to exempt small savers from a planned tax on bank deposits after the prospect panicked markets and prompted a Russian threat to withdraw financial aid. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks it has finally happened, the Euro is forcing a Country to steal the hard earned money of its savers and the Russians.   Think about this folks, a EU Country is planning to raid the savings of its people, if this happens in Cyprus expect this model to be followed in other Countries that ask for a bailout.  One can see the PIIGS sooner or later asking for another bailout, the exception being Ireland, they seem to have gotten their house in order, and are back on the bond market.   The rest it can be argued will need some form of bailout in the future, thus savers in Italy, Spain can expect to have their money stolen sometime in the future.   The really rich will have gotten their money out already, thus it will be the Middle Class and the real poor that will get shafted by the the EU and the Euro.    One can a bank run on Thursday in Cyprus, the people if they have a brain will get ALL their money out, thus Cyprus will need extra funds from the EU, what else will Germany ask for, will the demand the mineral rights for Cyprus, will Cyprus have to become a economic colony of Germany, you argue that is out there, what about stealing the savings of the people of Cyprus. 

MI6,CIA and Iraq - Iraq 10 Years On

Guardian: Reports the following on Iraq War, " MI6 and CIA were told before invasion that Iraq had no active WMD ".

Lets Get Real: 

Thus folks the BBC and the Guardian are never going to allow Tony Blair to forget about Iraq, the mind set based on some shaky pillars, at its core is the opinion that Blair and Bush lied the US and the UK in to the War, that they believed what they wanted to take as the truth.     Folks Democratic leaders spin, its part of the game, but going to WAR is far to important, Bush 43 and Blair were backed by Western intelligences in the opinion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, lets recall after 9/11 Western voters wanted action, they did not care about due process, they wanted to break the terrorist threat to the West, after 9/11 everyone thought that there would be another major attack on the US, and lets recall 7/7 in the UK and Spain etc.   Thus leaders had to act based on the evidence they had, if they had waited you get in to counter factual history, that can take you down any road you like, its like what if President Kennedy had not been killed in Dallas in 1963, would the US under Kennedy gone in to a full land war in Southern Vietnam, depending on the historical record pre 22 November 1963 you can argue the case either way.   Thus its an interesting academic exercise but does not help with the what did happen, Iraq today has it problems, religious violence, a 40% rate of unemployment, but its free, as even the BBC News has reported people are free to say what they like, and the economy is starting to grow, it will take time, but Iraq today is better off today than pre March 2003.    This blog takes its hat off to Bush 43 and Blair, they made the hard choice, we in the West should thank these leaders.

Regulating the UK Press

BBC News: Reports that Coalition Government and the Labour Party have have agreed on  Royal Charter for the regulation of the press, with those outside the regulation facing heavy fines should they get caught breaking the law. 

Lets Get Real:

All the major Parties have stated that they have won, PM David Cameron has stated that there is no actual law to regulate the press, while the Liberal Democrats and Labour are happy that those papers outside the new Royal Charter will have to pay a higher fines should they break the law.    The press is still judging the result, this blog if the three Parties were agreeing on any subject would be heading out to be critical, but it seems a fair deal, the political hacks can not change the system later, no Government pressure, while those papers that break the law have to pay.   This just might be a good day for the press folks, lets see what happens, the devil is always in the detail.
