Frau Merkel Continues Her "I'm Unpopular With All Humans" European Tour..

After Starting Riots In Greece, Merkel Booed In Germany Next.  If Merkel had a heart (or soul, for that matter..), she might be upset.  No worries there, though!  Zero Hedge.  Excerpts:


What does an iron chancellor have to do to be loved these days? After scrambling 7,000 members of the Greek police force out of an early prepaid retirement for her brief, still inexplicable 6 hour visit to Athens last Tuesday, which caused the now usual Syntagma square rioting, Merkel next took the stage in a rainy Stuttgart, in a show of support for the local mayor candidate Sebastian Turner, which promptly devolved into 14 minutes of continuous booing.  (Video at the link.  It's awesome if you like your videos full of boos.  Boo!  Boo!  Chant!  Priceless..  )
And:
The truth is that a vast majority of Europe's people now want the grand experiment, which merely enriches a small subset of participants while impoverishing everyone else, over and done with: it is this endless pursuit of power and money at all costs that starts wars - not whether Germany and France share a fake currency, that is the cause of the endless bloodshed in Europe. The only reason why wars not only in Europe, but in the world, were avoided for the past several decades, is due to the incursion of globalization which merely allowed the encumbrance of every global assets with layers upon layers of additional debt, creating money in the process and keeping the oligarchy happy. But it is this oligarchic 'subset' that calls the shots, and the same subset is now realizing the ability to create debt out of thin air in Europe has now ended. And it will gladly take Europe to the edge of war if it means, well, "avoiding war", at least in the Nobel committee's naive version of the world, in the future.


Frau Frau needs a diversion:  Where the hell is Techno Viking when you need him?
