TextBritain has been sucked into a second credit crunch that threatens the stability of the world’s banking system, Downing Street warned last night. Central banks from around the world – including the Bank of England and China’s equivalent – yesterday launched a dramatic rescue bid worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

The euro came into existence on 1 January 1999, although it has been a goal of the European Union (EU) and its predecessors since the 1960s.

Well, Germany will win. It has Europe exactly where its always wanted it. On its knees begging Germany to save it. Germany is refusing to allow the ECB to bail out the defaulters. Why ? Because Germany needs leverage for the next move being a political union. Germany will now force a political union of the countries it wants with it. (The final number will be 10). The other European countries will have no option but to tow the line of a German led (Vatican influenced) United States of Europe.
This will not be a democracy.
The losers? The rest of the world. Unfortunately, this European (Beast) of Revelation is destined to lead the world into WW3.
