Our good friend, Jean Paul Junker, Chairman of the Euro Group, is bowing out. Reportedly one of the reasons why, is that he couldn’t take The Frau’s pressure any more. On the other hand, he has nothing but the highest praise for Wolfgang Schauble, the German Minister of Finances, who The Frau has single handedly decreed, again,  is to succeed him. He is in fact quoted as having described this as “an ideal choice”.

I would like to think that this comment is the result of a real sense of sarcastic humour. Nevertheless, he is quite right. Since the European Union has been hijacked by the Germans, then surely, who better to chair the Euro Group? As I have said before, why not move all the Eurocracy directly to Berlin where it belongs? Fill all positions with Germans who can be trusted to do The Frau’s bidding, and consign Brussels to the back waters of Europe where it belongs?

Now, reportedly The Frau is none too happy with the possibility of Francois Hollande, being elected next President of France. She probably worries that he wont be as servile and malleable as his predecessor. Nevertheless she is convinced she will man handle him into submission too. And maybe she will.

But just to be on the safe side, she is cultivating a new side kick to fill her dear friend Nikolas’ shoes. Mario Monti.  Whoops! This one is probably even better in that he is the proper kind of thing she wants. A technocrat appointed by herself. None of this idiotic elected stuff. Perfect. He has already started squeezing the Italian economy and can be relied upon to reduce it to a Greek like pulp.

So Francois, if elected as the polls show, will have taken an enormous burden on his shoulders. How to combat the Rome/Berlin Axis, and save Europe from annihilation.

The Rome/Berlin Axis? European annihilation? The continent reduced to rubble through an unholy alliance between Rome and Berlin? Haven’t we heard that somewhere before? Oh dear, oh dear. Deja Vu shivers running up and down our spine.

Well, you know what they say. History repeats itself as farce. And the whole European project as abused by The Frau is nothing if not farcical. That is if you are not one of the growing many going hungry, for no reason, committing suicide, dying through lack of the medical care you have paid for but that has been denied to you, and so on.

Nevertheless, Francois, the way things are now. C’est la guerre! Or nothing.

“We  shall fight on the beaches […] we shall fight in the fields and on the streets […..] we shall never surrender.”*

At least if Francois Hollande is elected, we may start getting our alignments right. It may be the beginning of a meaningful resistance to The Frau’s strangulation of Europe through an unspeakable austerity sentence. Europe is being subjected to a brutal regime, that is leading to its utter destruction. First class passengers included!

Why?
