“I’m appalled that two clowns have won,” said the man who’d try to knock German Chancellor Merkel off her perch this year. He was referring to former comedian Beppe Grillo and former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. One of them is “a professional clown who doesn’t mind being called that,” he explained; the other is “a clown with special testosterone boost.”

Right on cue Wolfy!!
Love the formula: bash You-rup, then some words, reiterate so more propaganda, then couple more sentences, generalizations, vague bullshit.
Nice.
Democracy is a wolf a coyote and a calf deciding what’s for dinner.
Democracy is always a threat.

Exactly it was the realization that the people of Italy would not play along that send the markets to the south.
Here in the Dutch media they where more moderate: Grillo was called a comedian that wanted to dismantle the unions. Actually when you read his blog he seems much more sane than the other two clowns.
Bersani or Bunga Bunga are already in the pocket of the banksters, despite the rhetoric, so they where not feared. Not even of a potential “gridlock” was feared but a welcome opportunity for the US divert the attention once more to the problems in Europe.
@Wolf Richter
The EU does the bidding of the corporations. Yet surprisingly enough some legislation does get through that helps the poor and working classes. There also seems to be an attempt to curb the bankster bonus culture that so feeds rigged market capitalism.
So what is your problem with the EU? The corporatist nature? So why not fight for transparency and a reinvigoration of democracy? Why constantly berate the whole project? Why not fight the banksters within the EU? What is your solution? The nation-state?
Instead of going along with the current system where, all the major parties are dancing to the same tune. ” Self interest for me and the connected” Vote for true independants or parties that refuse to go along with the plan.
Sure it will mean short term pain, but the current way of things is doomed. It has to be changed. By using the political system to force its dismantling we may avoid civil unrest.
Have the balls to cut your losses, and try the political means 0f disrupting the cosy arrangements.
Oh snap Pigeon!

Not ONE of these bastards banksters arrested. Says a lot about the total shitbags and scumbags that Europeans are. As bad as USA. Europeans should know better when it comes to bankers. In the Middle Ages in Catalonia when a bankster was caught defrauding, they would behead the bastards on the spot at his bank in view of all the clients. It’s a shame they the tradition was lost.
This is just the silence before the storm breaks loose.
The sheeple in Europe are awakened by some newsarticles that stated that the c02 emissions market has gone down costs: 300 billion, from local currency to euro costs: 700 billion, membership EU costs: 12 billion a year.
It isn’t only Italy in two other core countries it slighly rumbles a bit, in Germany a majority wants to leave the EU, a new political party has has been founded which main priority is to leave the EUas soon as possible.
In the Netherlands a thing called raadgevend referendum has passed the first chamber of parliament, an initiative by some ademics was setup as an online petition to support a referendum about the shifting of further Parliament’s powers and procedures to Brussel.
If you know that in 2005 61% of the Dutch people voted NO against the EU grondwet, in all those years nothing has changed, the restance against the EU is growing day by day. Viva la revolution!
P.s, has someone a technical drawing of a Guillotine to spare?
I voted for Beppe Grillo ” the Clown ” . He is the only person that tells the world how bad things are from the economy point of view . He is telling us what we know but other political parties don’t mention that more than a thousand firms are closing down every day
because of the highest taxes in the world and successive governments have been doing nothing about it . People had enough of the ” austerity measures ” , corrupt politicians , the EU policies of globalization and unelected EU officials interference . The EURO introduction has been a disaster and people have lost purchasing power for the last 20 years .
@Flopot
Ask yourself why a person living in the States has so much to ‘say’ about the EU? His solution is simple enough: have an organization that starts with NA and ends with TO kept in Europe to oppress the population and keep the $ on top indefinitely.
There’s an alternative to the $ it’s the Euro. Wolfy is not a fan, obviously.
