Oh wow, the #eu #president #ursulavonderleyen is apparently saying she has " #tools " if the #italian #election goes the wrong way: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/eu-c.. It looks like she is against #thebrothersofitaly #winning the #election as they creep out in front.
#putin is suggesting that the #west wants to #destroy #russia https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/putin-.. This is clearly a dumb #narrative , the #eu were very happy with the previous #arrangement , why would they want a #regime change? It was *him* that #triggered this #war in #ukraine .
This #article raises a great point, the only way the #eu have to generate #money for #projects is either #tax (which is limited) or #printing #money https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. As #ukraine and the #energy #crisis continue, the only method they have to try to " #fix " these things is to keep #printing #money and *hope* #inflation doesn't get out of control.
Whilst I don't particularly like #hungary #supporting #putin , the #eu is showing why you are not free whilst acting under their #superstate https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. You are completely subject to their #political will, with them looking to hold back 7.5 #billion #euros of #money .
Ouch, the #eu #ecb is running out of #options , despite increasing #interest #rates , they are still at -7.85% #interest after #inflation https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/peter-.. It means putting your #money into #euros means it vanishes as they #print #money to pay off #interest on #debt , which in turn creates lower #demand . Needless to say, #europe is *fucked.* There is no way out of this.
Okay, this is *very* interesting from #tldr #news https://youtube.com/watch?v=pQdea8tPm6k It seems as though the #us #dollar and #eu #euro are fluctuating based on #demand , and the #demand is being artificially created with increased #interest #rates . The #eu has the lowest, and therefore the lowest #demand . I still believe the #us will run out of steam on this one.
Looks like #unemployment in the #us is about to hit massive highs with #inflation increasing anyway: https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/scar.. The #fed have really screwed this up insanely badly. Prepare for an almighty #us #crash coming soon. It will likely get #triggered by the #eu or #china at this rate.
#ecb appears to be #preparing for mass #eu #energy #company #defaults https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ecb-sc.. It will be interesting to see what they do after, #bailout them or take them over. Given the #eu 's naturally #expansionist #behaviour , I expect they will look to #control them and therefore make the #nation #states #dependent on the #eu .
Oh dear, the #eu #propose a #pricecap on non- #natural #gas #generated #electricity https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/eu.. I #suspect what we will see is that #energy #companies will rather #sell their #fuel to places willing to #pay more than they would get for #burning it. This #policy is #doomed to #fail .
#antwerp spitting #facts about the #eu 's #green #energy #agenda https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/a.. #companies will simply take their #business elsewhere . Apparently #banks and #finance are moving their #hq 's out of the #eu simply due to #energy #concerns .
*Holy shit* - #energy #bills in the #eu are set to take up 20% of the #average #home 's #disposable #income https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/eu.. That is before the #ecb come into #hyper #inflation ...
Seems like #cern will soon be shutting down to save #energy given the current #eu #energy #crisis https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/sci-tech/ce.. Pretty telling of the time. Whilst #france is doing the right thing in #maintaining their #nuclear #power #plants , they couldn't have chosen a worse time to do them all at the same time!

Look a that, the #eu 's #mask has slipped and we now see that they want to #read *all* of your #private #communications to look for " #illegal " #material https://old.reddit.com/r/privacy/comment.. Today is #child #pornography , tomorrow it is #illegal activity such as #drugs , the next day it is #illegal #speech and the day after it is #thought #crime . Have fun.

Watch it #live here: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/EURUS..Bloody hell, #london #energy was costing 5000% more last week during the #heatwave https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/lo..

#dutch #farmers #block off #food #distribution #centers due to the #eu looking to cutback on 50-95% #nitrogen #emissions based on their #green #agenda https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/du..
