SITUATION ABNORMAL.

Brussels seems to have gone into a semi-comatose state as we approach the festive season, many of the thousands of overpaid minions could well have made their break for extended freedom. The tragi-comedy, however, is still ticking over, with much wool pulling over eyes.

The powers that be, having just returned from their euphoric trip to collect the Noble Peace Prize, that is if we are prepared to overlook riots on the streets of some European capital cities. On returning, their latest gambit appears to bring 200 of the largest banks together under the auspices of the European Central Bank, to somehow support the beleaguered Eurozone. One wonders why it took so long to turn to the people who control the money. Having said that, where on earth would any extra funds come from? Not from the western world, one suspects.

Another sideshow developing is the situation in Italy. Mario Monti, the usurper/placement, imposed upon the Italian people by the undemocratic Brussels regime, is considering standing down. This is really the big story, because he will know, that whatever the outcome of the Central Bank's intervention, the Euro is doomed, or at least will have some countries falling out of the zone.
