No apologies for this post being lazy – this news needs spreading! Ex-Goldman Sach’s employees and current advisors are involved at senior levels of government in nearly every major Eurozone economy. It is in GS’s interests that Nation States pay off their debts, but not necessarily the people’s interest – this does signify the death of effective democracy and the power of the 1% in Europe as we turn over government to unelected technocrats…

The Project is to create such a deep exchange of people and ideas and money that it is impossible to tell the difference between the public interest and the Goldman Sachs interest.
