Ireland held at financial gunpoint

Ha ha ha ha. Anglo Irish Bank. ha ha ha.



One of the funniest lies I have seen spread about the recent EU/PIIGS thing, is the idea that Germany is still Nazi and really it is Germany zat is taking over Europe...seriously? Maybe it's time we got past this Germanophobia being spun by, well you know who by, the real Nazis. Somehow people have bought this whole German domination thing. No no no, if you're looking for megalomaniacs, look elsewhere.

Seriously, think of every film out of Hollyweird etc with the bad guy being the evil German or perhaps Serb (since the 90s) or even Russian. Certainly every video game where the evil Russians still want to take over the world. Little more than mass slander, fearmongering and outright lies. It wasn't Russia who attacked without provocation in Ossetia/Abkhazia in '08 now was it. But our media for a time reported that they did.

If you want to know where the power lies, ask who you cannot criticise. Simple.

The Irish (at least those who I can see on YT saying the EU is a German plot to take over Europe) would do well to understand that 'history', particularly their 'history' with the Crown, never stopped and is still ongoing, yknowhatimsayin?

Anglo Irish Bank. Look out, the Germans are trying to take over Ireland! Aaargh! They can't even deploy troops in another country without everyone being 'reminded' of their Nazi past, but they have somehow formented a plan to take over first Europe, then the world!!! Oh the plot's real, but it's not German. Give me a break.
