MR. PRESIDENT ... WHY?

Obama's EU Trade Deal Would Include New Political Powers For Corporations » Zach Carter | April 03, 2013 at 07:29 AM WASHINGTON --
The Obama administration is pursuing a free trade agreement with the European Union that would grant corporations new political power to challenge an array of regulations both at home and abroad, according to an administration official involved in the negotiations. While the plan is still in its early stages, the effort alarms consumer and environmental advocates who worry it will lead to a rollback of important rules and put multinational companies on the same political plain as sovereign ...

I'm all into conspiracies, have been for a long time. To me, many of the theories aren't theories at all-they're the truth. In political circles, there has been much talk about the Illuminati and the New World Order. There has been much myth and erroneous information. The focus should instead be on Bilderberg, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove and a few others-basically, the elite of Wall Street and powerful politicians.

In the 2012 election there appeared to be a clear choice between the elite and the 'man of the people.' However, actions are louder than words and it appears that the elite won anyway. Having been in politics and government, I know that those with power have never really been those we elect. The power behind the throne has always been the dollar and those who control it. The degree of control has varied to a greater or lesser degree, but it's always there, lurking, ready to seize opportunities. Well, at this point, it looks like we were fooled. No matter where you turn, it seems that President Obama has been swallowed by special interests, becoming a pawn for the wealthy. From oil leases, GMO's and now more power to the multinationals, the rhetoric has fallen into the monied abyss.

It is said, 'better the enemy you know.' Guess, at this point, so far, we've all been duped.

SOME EU ECONOMIC NEWS AND CONCERNS+

BBC News - Brussels plans EU-wide banking union from 2013 http://bbc.in/LhyTsf -

"A single regulator to oversee banks across all 27 European Union states could be in place as early as 2013 according to the European Commission.

A controversial new bank bailout fund financed by a tax on financial institutions is also planned.
The proposal includes an EU-wide deposit guarantee scheme to protect savers in the event of a bank collapse."
The above seems to be a great way to consolidate economic power in the hands of the few oligarchs who already call most of the shots in the world. This New World Economic Order comes on the heels of a disaster that it created, perhaps for this very purpose.

S&P TAKES POINT ON NEW WORLD ORDER

Coming off record profits, no consequences for starting the world economic recession, and the expansion of the global economy, Wall Street is now openly ready to create their New World Order. Ahh, good old conspiracy theory, but sometimes the conspiracy is not a theory. Recent events regarding the debt crisis in the EU has made this effort at creating such an 'order' quite blatant.

We are all too familiar with the tales of economic woe in Greece, Ireland, Italy and even the U.S. "Investors" are demanding drastic cuts in budgets, at the expense of the people, and tax increases in order to appease financial interests. In Italy, the increase borrowing costs, which is creating even more of an economic problem, will also generate massive cuts. Spain and Portugal are on the brink as are many southern European nations.

Enter S&P and their magic 'downgrade' wand. This wand has been used to put the U.S. notice, basically ruined the Greek economy, what there was left of it, and is now aimed at the EU. For those who follow the Huffington Post, this headline should be familiar:
 NOWHERE TO RUN

S&P To Warn Of Downgrades For All Of Eurozone

Here's the deal, the European Central Bank wants to be able to approve EU member budgets and austerity programs to ensure that 'investments' are safe.  If members do not agree, then their rating will be downgraded and their economies will go belly up. S&P has fired the warning shot across the bow. Basically, Wall Street is acting with impunity with no one willing to just say NO. Even the U.S. is unwilling to pass a small tax increase on the wealthy to cover extensions in breaks for the middle class and working poor.

With the stalling "Occupy" movements, there appears to be no left standing to prevent the Wall Street onslaught against economies, the environment, government oversight and the middle and lower classes. Even with the warning by billionaire George Soros that the global economic system is on the verge of collapse, Wall Street still knows that they will come out on top. Perhaps they see this as an opportunity to rid the world of the flotsam and jetsam they call the masses in order to make life easier for the elite. But, perhaps they underestimate those masses and the very environment they seem so willing to sacrifice in order to achieve their own nefarious ends.
