It bypasses the EU parliment and commission although the EU commission is a farce because the commissioners are nominated and not elected and they are besized by corporate lobby groups. What is funny about the plan is why do Merkel and Sarkozy believe all the other countries will even go along with it. It doesn't even have the pretense to be a federal system.</p>One World Governmenthttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/100361#comment2828622011-08-17T21:20:52+00:00Damien MOne World Government is coming folks.

<p>Given the raft of planetary shit hitting the fan we need global management structures. But that means a harness on the current global 'one-world' corporate anarchy.</p><br />
<p>Unfortunately, its looking like the leviathan is going to have the pull the house down before we get a saner and more sustainable model. The Security Council is not fit for the purpose announced in its label, other than the security of the imperial zombies dragging us all towards their overdue interment.</p><br />
<p>The current propaganda regarding the possibility of General Assembly recognition of Palestine indicates there may be a pulse in the bambino of global polycentrism glugging at the bottom of the stagnant Great Gamesters bathwater.</p>No Sweat.http://www.indymedia.ie/article/100361#comment2828692011-08-18T12:56:34+00:00German.<p>If Gernans stop paying the Irish the Germans will still be rich.</p><br />

<p>.</p>Analysis from the WSWShttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/100361#comment2828802011-08-19T00:43:19+00:00TThe WSWS website has a good analysis of the meeting yesterday between Merkel and...<p>The WSWS website has a good analysis of the meeting yesterday between Merkel and Sarkozy and they don't give it much chance either and see it mainly as part of the PR exercise to save the Euro.</p><br />
<p>However they do say this:</p><br />
<p><em>Despite the meagre outcome, the meeting between Merkel and Sarkozy was more than a failed public relations event. Both signalled to the financial markets their willingness to push through further cuts programmes and the establishment of a kind of European financial dictatorship. They just need more time.</em></p><br />
<p><em>Even before the meeting, it was clear that the euro, and with it the European Union, cannot be maintained if Germany does not reach deeper into its pockets to satisfy the creditor banks. So far, the German government has always insisted that each country is responsible for its own debts and tied its support for the euro rescue fund to tough conditions.</em></p><br />
<p>The consensus seems to be that unless Euro bonds are introduced the Euro will fail. Introduction of Euro bonds would lower interests for all the peripheral countries and thus prolong things a bit and at the same time the Euro bonds would have a cost on Germany and it is that which is causing a resistance because Merkel would probably lose power over it. This is where their proposal comes in which is basically as a pre-condition for the Euro bonds, Germany and France would impose financial and economic dictatorship over all the other countries.</p><br />
<p>It seems all pretty much unstable to me.</p>
