Britain 'will join euro before long’, says German finance minister

Has the German finance minister lost his mind? Has Germany declared war on the £ sterling? Has Nicholas (Gnome) Sarkozy been collaborating in a secret plot to establish the Fourth Reich? You might well be asking all these questions and many more after reading today's headlines And the answer to all of them would seem to be "Yes" as we learn of senior members of Angela Merkel's government this week saying things like, "Britain will have to abandon the pound and join the single currency “faster than people think”,
Wolfgang Schäuble, the normally level - headed finance secretary in the German government said that despite the current crisis in the eurozone, the euro will ultimately emerge as the common currency of the entire European Union. (Euro, euro Uber Alles) He said he “respects” Britain’s decision to keep the pound, but insisted that the survival and eventual stabilization of the euro will convince non-members to join the currency club. “This may happen more quickly than some people in the British Isles currently believe,” he added.
Mr Schäuble also said Germany will stand firm on its call for a financial transaction tax that Britain believes would badly harm the City of London.
Schauble's scaremongering was made to look risible and fears over the viability of the eurozone were heightened yesterdays as the latest developments in the crisis saw stock markets fall around the world. The FTSE 100 closed down 1.1?per cent. French and German shares also fell.
Meanwhile, a leaked document reported by some newspapers showed Berlin has drawn up radical plans for an intrusive new European body which will be able to intervene directly in the economic affairs of beleaguered countries.
Sir John Major, the former prime minister, and a man regarded as a mediocrity when in office but now emerging as a national hero for his negotiations on British exceptionalism that kept us out of the single currency and won exemptions from other EU moves towards creating a single European superstate, warned last night that the growing integration of the eurozone nations threatens democracy in those countries. He told Al Jazeera television that richer euro members led by Germany and France will “insist on moving towards what we call fiscal union. By that I mean common control over budgets and fiscal deficits”.
Sir John, who advises David Cameron on foreign policy issues, also described the banking transaction tax as “a heat-seeking missile proposed in continental Europe, aimed at the City of London”.
The Daily Stirrer has warned many times of the global nation ambitions of the political and economic elites that have hijacked democracy in the western world. Now we start to see the Euro crisis and the meltdown of the global financial system were not entirely accidental and have gone as planned in creating the opportunity to set up a supra national government of appointees drawn from bureaucracies and the academic world.
We have reported previously that the joint President of Europe, Portugese Marxist Barroso and Belgian bean counter Van Rompuy are already in negotiations regarding expanding the European Union to include middle eastern and north African states.
One can only hope that the financial markets will soon forsake all Eurozone countries' bonds. That would mean the end of the Euro single currency by market decision which would cause financial chaos but is highly preferable to the integration of laws, taxation, foreign policy and national finance our "EU elites" want.
And fortunately, this death by market forces has already started.
In Britain we must be careful not to revive old enmity. Angela Merkel's government are committed "one nationers" but the majority of the Germans doesn't want this political, financial and cultural integration. Schauble is part of the international team that is aiming to enslave us all as are David Cameron and Nicolas (the gnome) Sarkozy. We cannot be sure if these performing poodles really know what they are doing or if they have simply been seduced by the allure of wealth and power as Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Barack Obama have been. (Schauble probably does and might even be enjoying it, Germans says he's crazy,) For others it could the case might be that as with The Mafia or a religious cult, one you are in there's only one way out.
All democracy and freedom-loving Europeans need to fight back soon. This is what I have spent the past two years trying to raise awareness of.
SOME ADDITIONAL QUOTES FROM LEADING EUROPEAN FIGURES:
We British trust their politicians too much. Who do you think has been telling the lies by saying the Eu is just a benign free trade club for members, the European politicians or the British politicians?
