Singurele doua batalii pentru Constitutie care conteaza

Nu, batalia pentru modificarea Constitutiei nu va fi despre numarul parlamentarilor. Nu va fi despre parlamentul uni sau bicameral. Nu va fi nici macar despre crearea unui stat mai modern, mai putin birocratizat sau despre un sistem de justitie mai eficient.

Doar doua lucruri conteaza pentru partidele care trebuie sa se puna de acord pentru modificarea Constitutiei - care e rolul exact al presedintelui in desemnarea premierului si daca judetele se vor desfiinta pentru a fi inlocuite cu unitati mai mari.

Batalia pentru premier

Modul in care se face numirea pentru functia de premier ii intereseaza in primul rand pe “greii” de la centru, care nu vor sa repete situatia de la sfarsitul lui 2009, cand majoritatea parlamentara nu reusea sa impuna un sef al guvernului.

Cu Basescu presedinte inca cinci ani de acum incolo, PSD si PNL stiu ca acesta va dori de fiecare data sa-si impuna primul ministru care ii convine. Nimeni nu si-l inchipuie pe Basescu lucrand cu Victor Ponta sau Crin Antonescu la sefia cabinetului de ministri.

De fapt, e putin probabil sa-l vedem lucrand din aceasta postura cu vreunul dintre liderii actuali ai celor doua partide. Singurii oameni din PSD si PNL pe care Basescu i-ar vedea la ora actuala conducand guvernul sunt tocmai oamenii lui - sefii SIE si SRI George Maior si Mihai Razvan Ungureanu.

Tocmai de aceea, oamenii lui Ponta si Antonescu ar trebui sa se bata din rasputeri pentru ca in noua Constitutie sa fie trecut negru pe alb ca majoritatea parlamentara da premierul, indiferent ce ar fi. Daca nu, Basescu va conduce Romania pana in ultima secunda a presedintiei sale. Și nu doar formal.

Spaima baronilor si baronasilor

A doua prevedere pentru care se vor da lupte grele va fi cea despre reorganizarea administrativ-teritoriala a Romaniei. Baronii si baronasii tuturor partidelor vor incerca din rasputeri sa impiedica desfiintarea judetelor si crearea unor regiuni mai mari. Și au si de ce.

20-30 dintre ei isi vor pierde posturile si influenta. Și multi, multi bani odata cu toate astea. Cum se va reorienta clientela politica judeteana ? Dar toate firmele capusa ? Sau birocratia peste masura de stufoasa si ineficienta ? Sute de mii de oameni care profita din impartirea in asa multe judete vor avea de pierdut pe termen scurt, chiar daca tara in ansamblu ar avea de castigat. Tocmai de aceea, PD-L-ului ii va fi greu nu numai sa convinga PSD; PNL si UDMR sa sprijine initiativa, dar si sa -si convinga proprii “baroni teritoriali”.

Esec sau compromis?

Pentru ca populatia sa-si dea acceptul sa se modifice Constitutia, e nevoie mai intai de votul din Parlament a doua treimi din numarul parlamentarilor. Deci PD-L, UDMR si independentii lui Oprea nu sunt de ajuns. Singura cale e compromisul cu PSD si PNL. Care la ora aceasta e aproape imposibil.

Basescu nu va ceda vreodata in chestiunea numirii premierului. Iar liderii PSD si PNL sunt constienti ca a sprijini reorganizarea teritoriala in regiuni mai mari ineamna pierderea sprijinului organizatiilor judetene, oricum nemultumite ca “fac foamea” in Opozitie.

Cu toate astea, pe termen lung PSD si PNL ar face bine sa nu se mai opuna. Asta fiindca opozitia lor le va da “apa la moara” celor din PD-L, care le vor acuza ca se opun inca o data reformei. Și, cel mai important, le va acuza ca se opun vointei poporului, pentru ca blocarea noii Constitutii inseamna si blocarea a ceea ce au decis romanii prin referendumul din noiembrie- reducerea numarului de parlamentari si trecerea la un Parlament unicameral.

In traducere, PD-L si Traian Basescu au asigurata “munitie de razboi”. Pentru cativa ani de acum incolo.

Cum se moşteneşte o criză

Am putea fi suspectaţi că ne obsedează substantivul criză - cu atât mai mult cu cât ia amploare fenomenul pe care îl desemnează. În ce ne priveşte, am fi în stare să-l scoatem definitiv din vocabularul limbii române, dar asta nu înseamnă că nu vom mai avea de-a face cu el. De pildă, am observat că, la noi, crizele se moştenesc. Şi sunt duse mai departe. Nu numai de artizanii lor, încântaţi că ideea a prins, ci şi de “neputincioşii” care, cu toate că sunt informaţi, cât de cât, asupra gravităţii situaţiei - indiferent de zona în care se manifestă - cad în capcana cuvântului propriu-zis şi acolo rămân. Cel puţin aşa pare că evoluează lucrurile în spaţiul nostru românesc, unde crizele sunt foarte, foarte nuanţate. Crizele de la primării, care nu sunt în stare să gestioneze un eveniment - fie el şi meteorologic -, criza de la nivelul ministerelor, cum ar fi al mediului, al drumurilor, al sănătăţii etc., greu încercate, sunt o infimă parte din fluviul crizelor româneşti. De fapt, odată cu prăbuşirea vechiului regim politic, am asistat cu toţii la o “salbă” de crize, care mai de care mai bizare şi mai greu de stăpânit, dar foarte uşor de moştenit. Cred că, în pofida falimentului pe toate planurile, politicienii noştri au devenit specialişti în moştenirea şi perpetuarea crizelor. Altfel nu se explică de ce mergem din criză în criză şi, pe deasupra, suntem predispuşi să le extindem, pe fiecare în parte, prin arborescenţe infinite.

În general, la nivel mondial, când nu sunt închipuite, ticluite şi mereu împrospătate, crizele se resimt din plin şi, oricât s-ar lamenta omenirea, ele plutesc peste vieţile noastre ca o piază rea. Mai trist este că, din teama de a nu genera prăbuşirea sistemului afectat de criză - politic, social, economic, financiar - mai-marii lumii aşteaptă să le pice din cer o soluţie “viabilă” pentru anihilarea ei. Sau aşteaptă autoreglarea, fenomen specific în orice tip de perturbare, şi la orice nivel. Lăsând la o parte criza financiară şi economică, repetatele crize politice de pe mapamond, alimentare, climaterice, de supraproducţie, oamenii sunt continuu atacaţi şi de propria criză interioară. De fapt, de la acest nivel încep crizele de orice fel. Bunăoară, când sistemul de autoapărare al organismului e la pământ, toată fiinţa intră în criză generală. Nimic nu mai merge. Dar de ce scade capacitatea noastră de autoapărare?! Fiindcă am suprasolicitat rezistenţa propriului corp, biciuindu-l - motivat sau nu -, întinzând la maximum coarda rezistenţei, dincolo de limitele funcţionale anatomo-fiziologice. De aceea, fiecare ins trebuie să se autosupravegheze necontenit. Mai ales că o criză interioară este (şi) una de conştiinţă. Iar unde conştiinţă nu e, conduce haosul, bunul plac, tendinţele hegemonice, dorinţa de a ieşi în faţă - poate din frustrări repetate, venite din copilărie şi duse până la vârsta a treia.

Referitor la criză, ca fenomen general, specialiştii afirmă că e unul normal. “Criza este semnul transformării - ceva trebuie să moară pentru ca apoi să renască. Atât la nivelul unei persoane, cât şi la nivelul întregii umanităţi”, spunea Stanislav Grof, unul dintre cei mai importanţi cercetători ai secolului al XX-lea în domeniul conştiinţei. Unii, însă, au obiceiul de a nu consuma decât prima etapă a acestei transformări, reuşind, cu brio, să îmbolnăvească - prin ideile şi planurile lor nesănătoase - toată planeta. Păstrând proporţiile, cam aici s-a ajuns, la noi şi aiurea, fiindcă prea mulţi indivizi sunt certaţi cu ei înşişi şi, ca atare, cu toată lumea. Înalta moralitate, bunătatea, blândeţea, generozitatea, iubirea de aproapele său, meditaţia sau legătura permanentă cu natura vindecătoare, par a fi rămas doar simple cuvinte fără noimă dintr-o poveste de demult… Pe când crizele nu se moşteneau.

Filantropul Soros prabuseste euro

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01248/soros_1248406c.jpgDirectorii unora dintre cele mai importante fonduri de investitii din lume, printre care Soros Fund Management, Greenlight Capital si SAC Capital Advisors, incearca sa destabilizeze moneda unica europeana, pentru a obtine castiguri enorme. Cotidianul The Wall Street Journal sustine ca, in cadrul unei intalniri desfasurate la inceputul lunii, in Manhattan, acestia au convenit sa grabesaca prabusirea euro, pentru ca, in paralel sa poata castiga miliarde de dolari, printr-o serie de speculatii pe piata financiara.

Se pare ca obiectivul “elitelor” de pe piata finaciara, care profita si de situatia din Grecia, este ca euro sa ajunga la valoarea dolarului, sau chiar sub acesta. Astfel, daca in luna decembrie, euro era cotat la 1,51 de dolari, in luna februarie acesta a ajuns la 1,35. Scenariul a fost confirmat si de Hans Hufschmit, directorul fondului de investitii GlobeOp Financial Service, care a declarat ca aceasta “este o oportunitate … de a face foarte multi bani”.

Intamplator sau nu, saptamana trecuta, George Soros declara ca, in cazul in care Uniunea Europeana “nu va face ordine pe propria piata finanaciara, euro s-ar putea prabusi”. Daca ministerul de finante din Grecia a refuzat sa comenteze informatia, un purtator de cuvant al Comisiei Europene a declatrat ca institutia pe care o reprezinta nu comenteaza zvonurile aparute pe piata finaciara. El a adugat totusi ca, responsabilii Uniunii Europene depun eforturi in vederea consolidarii legislatiei si reducerii riscurilor din acest domeniu. Interesant este si faptul ca, ataturi de George Soros, la intalnirea din Manhattan ar fi participat si presedintele Greenlight Capital, David Einhorn, care a jucat un rol important in accelerarea procesului de falimentare a holdingului Lehman Brothers. Wall Street Journal aminteste si de scandalul din anul 1992, cand lira sterlina s-a prabusit in urma speculatiilor facute pe piata finaciara de George Soros. Atunci, omul de afaceri de origine maghiara ar fi obtinut un profit de peste 1 miliard de dolari.

The Bank of the Fed is Closed… Forever

scott brownIn an effort to explain our escalating financial crisis, an American Nightmare (an Environmental Dream), the pundits are focusing their angst on the 44th POTUS, who might very well go down as the single most inept president in all of American history. (How to Squander the Presidency in One Year, David Michael Green)

Barack Obama is not inept, greedy or stupid and he isn’t one of  “us”.

He rose from obscurity to power with his top economics adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the co-founder of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission and he travels in the same circles as other members of the super-secret Skull & Bones Society at Yale University, who pretend to be running for president every four years.

The decision to have Obama preside over the greatest financial calamity since the Great Depression was made five years ago; the November election was a formality. (Why Joseph Biden will be the Next Vice President of the United States)

To believe otherwise, is to ignore the Bradley/Palin effect and the decision by John McCain to wait until his concession speech to shed the image of a nasty “grumpy old man.”

In September 2008, when the Obama campaign seemed to be slumping and their candidate’s long-standing lead in the polls had evaporated, the senator’s supporters openly worried that a potential victory might be slipping away. Then, providence joined the campaign: the failure of the giant investment bank Lehman Brothers followed by a global financial meltdown in the month of October.

And, “speaking of change”, escalating the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and his policies on Guantanamo, state secrets, renditions, executive power, bail-outs and the stimulus packages are for the most part identical to those of George W. Bush.

However, the policies at the Federal Reserve have changed…inexplicably, monumentally and historically:

As of October 2008, the men behind the Federal Reserve, all connected to the House of Rothschild, are no longer giving up what’s left of their real wealth so the middle class can live the American Dream, a nightmare for the planet.

Brian Deese, special assistant to president Obama for economic policy, in his first government position, shuffles back and forth from the West Wing to the Treasury Department rewriting the rules of American “capitalism” as he dismantles the US Housing, Automobile Industry and the American Dream. (The 31-Year-Old in Charge of Dismantling G.M., David E. Sanger)

Deese’s First Rule: Withdraw Credit and Liquidity:

Causing spending to fall even further, forcing companies to cut back on inventory and staff – Creating even more unemployment…263,000 jobs eliminated bringing the total to 39 million Americans who are no longer working or looking for work. (The September Employment Rate is 90%)

And that’s before the recently announced “planned three-year budget freeze on government discretionary spending.”

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913

One of the most important domestic acts in the nation’s history took the power to create money from the people and gave it to the robber barons of our filtered history books in theory for profit.

The Federal Reserve was instrumental in the development of America into a world power.

The United States, in its first decades, was a land of small farms and nearby towns with few cities of any consequence. The young nation seemed far more interested in becoming a successful experiment in democracy, rather than an economic power.

A central bank, necessary for a consumer society, large cities, a common medium of exchange, and a mechanism to regulate that medium were greeted with hostility, since many of the nation’s leaders disdained the urban life.

Anyone who spoke against the “Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin was silenced.

Presidents Garfield and McKinley, outspoken champions of “sound” money and opponents of a central bank, were suspiciously silenced permanently.

The conflict between rural values and urban reality ended when Woodrow Wilson “unwittingly ruined his country” and signed into law the legislation that put “the growth of the nation . . . and all our activities in the hands of a few scoundrels (men).”

Once those scoundrels got control of the supply of money in the Franklin Roosevelt Administration, they began to buy government securities at the rate of ten million dollars a week for 10 weeks, and created one hundred million dollars in new (checkbook) currency, which alleviated the critical famine of money and credit, and the factories started hiring people again.” (Secrets of the Federal Reserve, Eustace Mullins)

Now those scoundrels remain in control of the supply of money in the Barack Obama Administration, they are making generous interest payments to the banks for “parking” their TARP and other government taxpayer bailout money, which is aggravating the critical famine of money and credit, and the factories started laying people off (263,000 people in September bringing the total to 39 million Americans who are no longer working or looking for work).

One of the more absurd notions that found its way into the history books and the writings of economic experts, is that somehow these Robinhood barons (swindlers and scoundrels of history) were made wealthier by manipulating the Monopoly money they created out of “thin air” used to “alleviated the critical famine of money and credit” so the factories could start hiring people again and finance our consumer society.

In 1910, the men behind the Federal Reserve Rockefeller, Kuhn, Loeb and Morgan, all connected to the Rothschild’s global financial empire, owned or controlled one-sixth of the world’s real wealth—gold, silver and raw materials—not the fiat currency we call money.

And their real wealth, where is it now?

Used up, as in consumed, by the middle class so former members of the Third Estate (serfs and slaves) could have houses, cars, RVs, TVs and DVDs—the affordable things we take for granted which put the planet, according to the GEO4, a massive United Nations Report, at the “unknown points of no return.” (Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité – Providence, Miracle or What Really Happened)

The swindler’s and scoundrel’s wealth, not yours or mine, was eventually “cut, mined and hauled away,” so that Americans could “trash the planet” with that cheap stuff until October 2008.

Money control, Gustav Stolper wrote in “This Age of Fables” is, “the supreme and most comprehensive of all governmental controls and the 1838 quote:

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws” (Incorrectly attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild who died in 1812).

Reflects the “maxim” of the House of Rothschild.

However, “money lenders of the Old World” cannot be talking about profits unless you believe The Rothschilds didn’t understand that they were about to give up $500 trillion of real wealth in exchange for $500 trillion pieces of worthless fiat currency.

During the last 100 years, those swindlers and scoundrels were able to distort the structure of relative prices; generate misallocations of labor and capital throughout the economy; rationalize new governmental interventions in the face of the market “instability” manipulate the patterns of and the profits from international trade which resulted in the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the stagflation of the 1970s, the dot-com and the housing market bubbles and unprecedented prosperity for the middle class.

Would we have a financial crisis to go with our environmental crisis if Wilson hadn’t ruined the country when he gave away the people’s right to print their own money and we had our own bank?

No.

North Dakota is the only state in the union to own its own bank. The Bank of North Dakota (BND) was established by the state legislature in 1919 specifically to free farmers and small businessmen from the clutches of out-of-state bankers and railroad men.

The state of North Dakota, one of only two states (along with Montana) expected to meet its budget in 2010. North Dakota was also the only state to actually gain jobs in 2009 while other states were losing them. Since 2000, North Dakota’s GNP has grown 56 percent, personal income has grown 43 percent and wages have grown 34 percent. North Dakota in 2009, had a budget surplus of $1.3 billion, the largest it ever had – in a state with a population of 700,000. (The North Dakota Model for Capitalizing Community Banks, Ellen Brown)

North Dakota, a land of small farms and towns more interested in remaining a successful experiment in democracy rather than an economic power.

At this point, it is advantageous to consider the efforts of writer Andrew Hitchcock:

“The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time, their tentacles reaching into many aspects of our daily lives, and are the hidden hand behind all the social cataclysms in history: The French and American Revolution, the Civil War, World Wars, the Industrial Revolution, the Federal Reserve (and our consumer society).”

John Sherman, a Rothschild protégé in a letter sent to New York bankers on June 25, 1863 in support of the then proposed National Banking Act, wrote:

“The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages…will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without suspecting that the system is inimical to their best interests.” (World War II And Pound, 1940-1945: The Anti-Semite Revealed, Ellen Cardona)

In other words, the “few that understand the system”, without a 20th century environmental perspective of the middle class “trashing the planet”, would not be capable of comprehending a system that would put the planet at the “unknown points of no return” because the environmental damage and pollution was the goal and not the unintended consequences of the Industrial Revolution and our consumer society.

The Federal Reserve isn’t evil because they print our money and make us pay interest on it; they are evil because they are in a metaphysical war with mother-earth (Gaea).

October 2008 marked the last day the “lender of last resort” would give up what’s left of their real wealth, used to con us into shopping for useless toxic stuff, to weaken their opponent, mother-earth. (Ominous Signs Are Aligned: Not A Particularly Good Sign (11-09))
