A good piece - unfortunately I couldn't get the image to run with the sound but I managed to get brief flashes. It's heading the same way all over I guess. The EU wants (is going) to cap bankers bonuses but our Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, is against it - thinks it unfair or something.

"The European Parliament agreed last week that bonuses should be capped at a year's basic salary, and the Irish government said today that these plans were likely to be approved by EU finance ministers meeting in Brussels (Ireland holds the presidency of the EU at the moment).

"But speaking in the Belgian capital, Mr Osborne said he could not back the changes."I cannot support the compromise that is on the table," he said."

But he appears to be on his own. The report continues:

"The chancellor did not win the backing of any other minister at the meeting"

Words fail me!

I have absolutely no illusions in the EU doing any such thing to cut the wealth of the rich. The EU has always been a club of bosses in Europe.

Here in Greece we hear all sorts of rhetoric from the EU (and IMF) that they will make the rich tax dodgers pay for the plight of the millions here. In a word it is bollox!

A group of millionaires will always support another group of millionaires against the masses.

None of the major news agencies in the USA is even covering this. What is bad about it. Lots. It will affect people world wide as far as even free generic medicine is even concerned.

You have to understand the nature of Fascism, and a good start is to know what a"Fascio" is:

====================================


"The bundle of rods, in Latin called fasces and in Italian fascio, came to symbolize strength through unity, the point being that whilst each independent rod was fragile, as a bundle they were strong. These principles, which were staples in American indentity, were adopted by the U.S. Congress."

So, the concept of a European Union is fascist in nature, and you may have noticed only last week that our Fascist Amerikan masters stated that they require a strong Europe that they can"cooperate with", obviously with the intention of creating an even more"perfect union", of an even more fascist nature.

The irony of there being a union of antifascists doesn't escape me either. That's called"fighting fire with fire".

Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement
That is something to protect Hollywood, and Major company's in the entertainment industry. It dose little to protect
the artist. It will hinder Internet users and technology innovators.

This is a true example of, the top american wealthiest people making policies for the world.
