Les opposants à l’exploitation des gaz de schiste ne reculent devant aucun argument pour faire progresser leur cause :
BERLIN - The Brauer-Bund beer association is asking the German government to “carry out more research” before allowing the extraction of shale gas through “fracking” - a method pumping water and chemicals at high pressure into the ground which may pollute water used for brewing. Germany is Europe’s largest beer brewer.
Les capitalistes ne sont pas rassasiés : il leur faut de plus détruire l’europe :
EU energy policy must shift towards diversifying supply, with natural shale gas likely to be part of the mix, EU leaders said at a summit in Brussels on Wednesday (22 May).
Luxembourg affirme qu’il posera son véto à toute règlementation européenne destinée à s’opposer à l’évasion fiscale.
Et maintenant, que faire d’autre que sortir de l’Europe ?
Edifiant : l’Union Européenne constate que les banques chypriotes ne cherchent absolument pas à connaitre l’origine des dépôts qu’elles acceptent, mais versent quand même l’argent pour les garantir :
La dernière législation européenne en date prévoit que les bistrots devront bientôt embaucher un spécialiste de la protection des données personnelles :
Small businesses such as bed and breakfasts or cafes will have to hire a data protection officer (DPO) under new rules currently being fine-tuned by the European Parliament.
The parliament says any business that has 500 or more clients a year will require a data protection office to make sure data is secured and laws are being followed.
Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl - the architect of German reunification - admitted he would never have won a referendum on the adoption of the euro in his country and said he acted “like a dictator” to see the common currency introduced.

La moitiés des pays européens, dont la France, demandent, dans une lettre à Catherine Ashton, la nécessité de la traçabilité des produits des colonies israéliennes.
Rappelons que le 25 février 2010, la Cour européenne du Luxembourg avait statué que les produits des colonies devaient être assujettis à des taxes spéciales et ne pouvaient bénéficier des accords Union européenne-Israël

Trois ans plus tard, rien n’a été fait en ce sens...
Rappelons aussi que, selon les statuts de la Cour pénale internationale, la création de colonies relève d’un
crime de guerre

C’est en toute connaissance du caractère parfaitement insoutenable des pratiques prédatrices des banques chypriotes que l’Europe a invité Chypre dans la zone Euro, et donc, en toute connaissance du caractère spéculatif de son économie et du bail-out à venir :
In a so-called convergence report dated 2007, one year before Cyprus joined the eurozone, the ECB mentioned the large influx of capital.
“Much of the financing of the deficits in the combined current and capital account over the past two years has also come from capital inflows in the form of ’other investment,’ comprising non-resident deposits and loans,” the report says.
“Other investment inflows amounted to a sizeable 11.3 percent of GDP in 2006. Since capital inflows exceeded the current and capital account deficit between 2004 and 2006, Cyprus experienced an accumulation of official reserve assets in this period,” it adds.
The Austrian finance minister, Maria Fekter, described Britain as “the island of the blessed for tax evasion and money laundering” in an interview with her country’s Kurier newspaper on Thursday (11 April).
Comparing the UK and its “protectorates” - micro-states subject to British law - to Cyprus in terms of hosting secretive foundations and trusts, she noted: “Just as we urged the abolition of sealed foundations in the Cyprus rescue to drain the money laundering swamp, we must demand the same of the United Kingdom.”
She added: “We want a trust registry for the Channel Islands, but also for countries where British law applies, such as the Cayman Islands, the [British] Virgin Islands or Gibraltar … These are all areas that are havens for tax evaders.”
Un signe de l’isolement européen croissant de François Hollande et de son gouvernement depuis la révélation de la corruption de son proche ministre du budget :
A family weekend at a castle near Berlin allowed German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron to seek common ground on an EU-US trade agreement and the fight against tax evasion.
The visit was the first time for Cameron to travel abroad for a political assignment with his wife and three children and one of the rare occasions Merkel was accompanied by her husband, Joachim Sauer.
Il se révèle donc que les principaux oligarques russes ont pu vider leurs comptes bancaires chypriotes malgré les restrictions imposées par le gouvernement chypriote aux déposants ordinaires.
Andrei Akimov, the head of Russia’s Gazprombank took €2mn out of his account in Cyprus Laiki bank on 6 March, while firms controlled by Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov took out €23mn before the EU bailout imposed a haircut on depositors one week ago, according to Haravghi, a Cypriot communist-party-linked newspaper.

Sans doute, mais les américains ont le même biais que tous les bourgeois : entre trois laquais, ils prendront toujours le plus proche d’eux culturellement.

“The euro cannot last. I’m not saying that it will crumble tomorrow, but with the brains that they have in Brussels, it is certain that it will not last in the long term, and the best is to think about how to escape it. It’s not easy, but we should devote as much time to this as was spent on entering the eurozone.”

Land border sealed, Greek police chief says
A chief of police in a border town in northeastern Greece says irregular migrants are no longer crossing into the country from its land border with Turkey.
Barbed-wire fences, landmines, thermal night vision cameras and regular patrols are among the tools used to stop a phenomenon the Greek state considers a national security threat.
Some 55,000 people were detected attempting to wade across the Evros River into Greece from Turkey in the region in 2011.
The figures have now dropped to near zero, says Pashalis Syritoudis, director of police in the run-down Greek border village of Orestiadas.

Nea Vyssa, Greece - A 12.5-km-long fence rolled with barbwire runs across plots of garlic and asparagus on the Greek-Turkish border.
For the small farming community at Nea Vyssa, the presence of Greek military and police is a welcome relief from the mass of irregular migrants crossing from Turkey on a daily basis before the summer.
“Sometimes a hundred or so would arrive in one day and wait for the train to come,” one local villager said.

Le mur est terminé alors que la migration a déjà changé de route... Depuis septembre 2012, en effet, les migrants ont recommancé à passer surtout par les îles de la Mer Egée.
Voici le message reçu par une personne de contact dans la région de l’Evros :
Only during the months of August and September 2012 there is a decline of almost 75% comparing to last year’s numbers. The “wall” and the new plan"Dias" from the Greek police are considered to be effective....The case is that we have an almost 700% (!) rise of illegal immigration through the Aegean Sea and and the sea borders.
