I haven’t seen anything as to the true make up of this “cabinet.”

And Greece, well, if she has to sell some islands, what will the world demand from the US when the fullness of the crisis hits these shores?

And he is right to call him that.

I just shake my head as this fraud continues to unfold.
How many nations are they going to pull down?

And then there is this:

JPMorgan has tried to get in front of the clients money of MF Global and have superior rights to them in bankruptcy.

This will be interesting. I've often wondered what would happen if we didn't have to put up with politicians as leaders all the time. If course this is Italy, the phrase "jump from the frying pan into the fire" comes to mind.

Well-stated. My thoughts, also.

Robert Carlyle was excellent as Hitler in “The Rise of Evil”, I couldn’t look at him quite the same way after watching that.

Here is another link about Celente and his gold being stolen my MF Global:

“Celente became the latest victim of the MF Global bankruptcy when funds, in the six figures, in his gold futures account were taken (or ‘looted’ as Celente called it) by Chapter 11 trustees. Celente was hit with a margin call within days of the corporate shutdown despite his account being fully funded.”

just a snippet of some of them,,

Monti’s ministers include Corrado Passera, CEO of Italy’s second-largest bank, Intesa Sanpaolo SpA, to head Economic Development and Infrastructure; Piero Gnudi, a longtime chairman of Enel utility company, as Tourism and Sport minister in a country heavily dependent on tourist revenues; and the current Italian ambassador to Washington, Giulio Terzi di Sant’Agata, to be foreign minister.

Italy and its partner in propaganda, the UK, should accept the market cost of debt.

Sarah Palin, pick up the white courtesy phone.

Herman Cain, pick up the black courtesy phone.

(OK, that one was too easy.)

Cheers!

No politicians?

Who do the people vote for? Did the people get to vote for this, or do we not bother with that now?

Am I a little slow here, or did democracy just go out the window?

Not a soul was voted for. Every last one of them, including Monti, was appointed.

You're not slow at all. And for the record, what really went out the window was republicanism (i.e. the republican form of government). So anyone who is cheering this on is cheering on authoritarianism and is against the idea of a republic.
