According to the BBC (snigger), the whole of Europe (population 700
million or something like that) and the US (population 350 million or
something like that) could be brought to their knees by the collapse of
the Portuguese Bank of the Holy Spirit.

This is because, as the BBC (snigger) are always so eager to remind us,
greasy Catholic spics are not able to handle money "properly" the way
righteous English Puritans do. England controls 80% of the global
financial markets for a reason: godly, law-abiding English Protestants
can be counted on to do things "the right way". Greasy Catholic spics
can't even be counted on to count their own wages at the end of the
week. The trillions of pounds sterling passing through London's markets
every day of the working week have now been put at enormous risk
because of the "serious" (snigger) financial "irregularities" (snigger)
at this Catholic bank. It has been rumoured as much as 40 pounds
sterling could be at risk, which of course would hit London traders
very hard.

Let us all hope and pray the English and Americans rescue us from what
is turning out to be a very ominous situation indeed.

The Little Englanders have always considered anyone south of Dover to
be "wogs" and old habits die hard. They like to think that people on
the continent lead pretty poor lives and their countries to be poverty
stricken when the opposite is true. They are loving it when because of
the crisis created by American and English banker, countries like
Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy are feeling the pinch.

Lets face it - the Irish/Spanish did go mad selling houses to each other
at ever inflated prices. It was not uncommon around the dinner parties
of Dublin to hear boasts of owning 6 or more houses. All this was paid
for by cheap credit the source of which was principally Germany - the
Germany who's 2nd Wirtschaftswunder came about because of the carefully
constructed Euro project. A project almost wholly designed to benefit
Germany.

In the US the source of credit was principally China who had to do
something with their huge balance of trade surplus. The US banker and
house buyer were only too willing to use this to fuel a bubble that
burst spectacularly.

The city of London was only too happy to facilitate this shift of money
from Germany/China to its euro-zone clients.

No-one is blameless in this - but I'd put most of the blame at the feet
of spineless politicians who were too scared of calling time on the
voters and the powerful international banking system.

They wonder why English football can not produce a decent international

complain because it kept their council tax down. In junior schools
they had a male teacher who would devote some of his time to organise a
football team, coaching, organising matches and travel to the away
matches but it's gone now. Then again too many boys messing about with
X-boxes and Playstations and not doing things that boys used to do. We

Well the whole thing was a mess (or swamp). But Brown was trying to
prevent a global banking meltdown back then. Which he did (this was
about 1999/2000) but because he and other politicians did not learn (or
chose to ignore) the spectacularly risky practices of the international
banking industry, it all blew off again in 2007/8. And this was a bust
that no gold selling could fix (not that it could anyway because that
was not the problem this time.

Interesting take in the FT suggests that countries holding gold these
days is like stationing warships in the Baltic (though that may come
around again).

Britain was right to sell off its pile of gold
By Alan Beattie

The Treasury made the right decision not selling, says Alan Beattie
The continued run of the gold price is a global investment sensation.
Recently it broke the $1,500 an ounce barrier for the first time, 30 per
cent higher than a year ago. Surely this lays bare the extraordinary
foolishness of Gordon Brown’s announcement, 12 years ago this week, that
the UK Treasury would sell off some of Britain’s gold holdings?
Actually, no. On this one occasion, Mr Brown’s decision was the right
one. Let speculators go gambling on a shiny metal, if they want to. For
most governments in rich countries, holding gold remains a largely
pointless activity.
With hindsight, of course, Mr Brown could have gained a better price by
waiting. At current rates, the $3.5bn the UK received selling bullion
between 1999 and 2002 would have been closer to $19bn. The difference at
current exchange rates, by the way, would be enough to cover a little
over three weeks of the UK’s expected public deficit for the fiscal year
2010-2011 – not negligible, but hardly pivotal.
Mr Brown, his critics say, must be kicking himself. Similarly, the
French no doubt still suffer sleepless nights for prematurely taking
profit on their Louisiana claim by offloading it to Thomas Jefferson in
1803. And had I put my life savings on Ballabriggs at 20-1 before last
month’s Grand National, I’d be writing this on a solid platinum laptop
while being sprayed with pink champagne in my new beachfront villa in
Barbados.
That is the way of things with speculative assets. The truth is that no
one has a good explanation why the gold price is currently where it is.
The familiar story – a hedge against inflation or government insolvency
– is flatly contradicted by the low yields and inflation expectations in
US Treasury bonds. The volatility of gold (and other precious metals –
witness the huge drop in silver prices this week) merely underlines the
risk of holding it. The $1,500 landmark is a nominal price: had
governments listened to the bullion fanatics and loaded up on gold in
the last big bull market in the early 1980s, they would still be waiting
to earn their money back in real terms.
More substantively, criticism of Mr Brown’s sale also betrays a
misunderstanding of why a country such as the UK has gold at all.
In common with most rich nations, the function of British foreign
exchange reserves is not for the government to manage wealth on behalf
of the country. British citizens do that themselves. The UK does not
have a sovereign wealth fund that aims to maximise returns, and nor
should it. It is not a big net oil and gas exporter such as Norway – UK
net foreign exchange reserves are about $40bn, equivalent to 2 per cent
of nominal gross domestic product, while Norway’s sovereign fund has
$525bn, equivalent to almost 140 per cent of its GDP.
Nor does the UK pile up foreign assets by persistently selling its own
currency to manipulate the exchange rate, as does China. It is notable
that the much-vaunted official purchases of gold over the past year are
mainly by countries such as China and Russia – and, to a lesser extent,
Mexico – with big excess reserves.
UK reserves are there mainly for precautionary reasons – to intervene in
currency markets to stop a run on sterling or to pursue monetary policy
objectives. Yet gold is badly suited for this task because, despite
recent interest from private investors, a large proportion of global
above-ground stocks – 18 per cent in 2010 – is still held by governments.
Any attempt to sell off large amounts quickly risks driving down the
world price, which is what happened after Mr Brown’s announcement in
1999, leading to an international agreement between central banks to
restrict further sales.
A precautionary reserve asset held for intervention purposes whose price
is likely to fall the instant it is used to intervene is singularly
pointless. Of course, central banks selling into a rising market like
today’s may not have the same impact as in 1999, but who knows what
demand for gold will be like if and when the intervention is needed?
There remains only one other main reason for governments to hold gold –
to set monetary policy by linking the national currency to the gold
price. This remains as bad an idea as ever. It would have meant sharply
tightening monetary policy since the fall of 2008. This would have been
madness.
Private investors, and sovereign wealth funds out to make returns, can
punt their money on what they like. If they choose to plonk it down on
the blackjack table of the commodity markets, that is their decision.
But there is no good reason that governments that hold reserves for
purely precautionary purposes should feel the need to follow them.

It happens that Nark formulated :
Full of shit as always. There's a reason we're in the Euro: if we had
an independent currency or, God-forbid, a currency tied once again to
the British pound we'd have the British sharks yet again feasting on
our people. Germany is the *guarantor* of economic prosperity for the
Catholic countries of Europe, otherwise known in Britain as PIIGS. Did
you live in Ireland during the boom? On the dinner circuits in Dublin
were you? LOL! Do you have a fucking clue what happened? I do, because
I lived here, and saw with my own eyes over and over again, the British
banks coming in and offering 130% mortgages to 18-year-old kids and
others who until then had not been able to get on the property ladder.
To this day I thank Christ I didn't fall for the shit they were shoving
through my letterbox every single fucking week of the year.

Most people in this country have fallen for the same bullshit you have
fallen for, which is understandable given the penetration of British
media in this country. But there are a few who know what went on. A
Fianna Fail TD called the crash of 2008 an act of war by Britain on
Ireland. I wish I had saved the source when I read this statement
because it has since disappeared completely from the internet. He had
it spot on: that blind Presbyterian prick, your favourite, Gordon, saw
an opportunity to get at Ireland and plunder its resources after he
sold off all the gold in the Bank of England. And it nearly worked,
until Minister for Finance Brian Lenehan (a godsend to Ireland in its
hour of need) set up NAMA, thus nationalising all bad debts and
pre-empting the British. Oh boy they weren't happy about that! is that
why he died prematurely. You tell me: after all, you know so much about
everything else.

Even the governor of the Central Bank here knows what went on regarding
the role of those plundering British fuckers in the Irish crash:

You are so out of touch with reality, I don't think its worth trying to
have a discussion with you:

How on earth can you ignore the activities of Anglo Irish bank, AIB and
Irish Perminent and their role in the crash, blaming British banks only
in this?

How can you say that lenehan was a godsend when he assumed state
responsibility for *all* defaulted (private banks')debt?

How can you suggest that the poor man's (on a personal level) developing
pancreatic cancer is something to do with the British?

how can you use links which disprove your points (Houlihan says (in your
link)that Irelands problems "were largely home grown")?

how do you not realise that the ECB (read Germany) put pressure on
Ireland to guarantee the bank debt because so many German banks were
exposed? That decision was taken so fast under threat from the ECB that
the cabinet did not meet and that the decision was taken via a series of
late night phone calls between a couple cabinet ministers over a
saturday night/sunday morning (read Fintan O'Toole)

How can you put any store by what a desperate FF backbencher says in
order to try save his seat?

Germany is not our problem; Britain is. And if "Europe" has come down
heavy on us that's because, as Charles de Gaulle rightly pointed out,
we have a trojan horse in our midst in Europe, namely Britain, which
seeks as always to keep Christian Europe split right down the middle
(see Bolshevik Revolution, WWI, WWII, Cold War, and present-day Ukraine
for examples). The European Union, founded by Catholic visionaries who
knew all too well what was going on, is our friend, and it is the
guarantor of our prosperity and security in a Europe which Protestant
England has been seeking to destabilise for over 500 years. The fact
that your country has hijacked the European Union and sought to destroy
it from within is immaterial; Juncker and co. won't allow that to carry
on forever you know. The attack on Europe and the attack on the Euro
are on their last legs, and you know it. Is that why you're so
desperate to put up one last fight?

Now here's something for *you* to read. See if you can find anything
about Germany wanting currency union in this article. And don't *ever*

He hasn't got round to the ephebophiles yet. He's only been in the

He's probably working his way down the list.
