According to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, he and Angela Merkel share an “absolute determination” to defend the Euro. I find that hard to believe as:
§ 86% of Germans think the Euro is at risk.
§ 71% of Germans are doubtful about the common currency.
§ 56% of Germans say the Euro has brought them economic disadvantages.
The European bailouts were always ultimately about Germany. Without German support, you have no bail out and no EU either.
So with that in mind, we need to consider that Angela Merkel’s party was absolutely destroyed in the German March 2011 elections, largely because she had been pro-bailouts and pro-the Euro. She’s not out of the woods yet either.
Often cited as a reliable, reputable news source, Reuters is in actuality nothing more than another den of duplicity bought and paid for by the corporate financiers ruling/ruining Western civilization. Their latest article titled, “Bachmann and Perry – a beautiful 2012 rivalry” sidelines reality according to the globalist script so soundly you can almost hear the noses of Reuters editors’ growing. The GOP Iowa debate saw Ron Paul annihilate the competition with counts showing him as far as three times further ahead of the next runner-up Newt Gingrich. However, the final tally of the Iowa straw poll saw establishment footstool Michele Bachmann eke out Ron Paul by a mere 152 votes. Despite the closeness of the race and the immense political ramifications of a candidate labeled by the corporate media as part of “fringe politics” finishing neck-to-neck with the insincere Bachmann, Reuters decided to write about Rick Perry’s insignificant, meaningless, though establishment approved, entry into the GOP 2012 race instead. Not a single mention of Ron Paul was made.

Falsified Major Media Reports On Libya
By Stephen Lendman
8-16-11
Fact check:
Falsified rebel gains are, in fact, unreported losses and disarray. Moreover, without NATO air support, they’d have been routed months ago. Air cover also gave NATO a chance to slaughter and injure thousands of Libyan civilians, as well as cause horrific mass destruction, related to imperial, not military, aims.
Both Times writers also reported rebel claims of having Tripoli surrounded as well as key supply lines cut off. None of it is true, but fact-checking isn’t part of Times writers’ job description – just reporting accounts ordered by their bosses.
From Tripoli, independent journalist/Middle East/Central Asian analyst Mahdi Nazemroaya explained in a morning email:
“The insurgency was defeated in Misurata. NATO responded with massive bombing. One route is controlled. Zawiya and Sorman have not fallen. There have been attacks on the route. They are trying to cut the supply routes off” but haven’t succeeded.
On August 15, Washington Post writer Leila Fadel was no better than other accounts headlining, “Gaddafi isolated as rebels advance, aide flies to Cairo,” falsifying the same agitprop as their Times counterparts, claiming rebels have “a stranglehold on the Libyan capital, Tripoli.”
London Guardian writers are also complicit, headlining the following August 15 and 16 stories, better described as media lies:
August 15: “Libya’s interior minister flies to Egypt in apparent defection”
August 15: “Libyan rebels enter oil town where decisive battle may yet be fought”
