NOW SILVIO BERLUSCONI IS CRUSHED BY THE EU'S HIDEOUS STRENGTH

 I survived everything ~ except the EU

Italy is next on the chopping block but that is no surprise and Berlusconi  is a bonafide fool if he is surprised at this turn of events. This man who betrayed his good friend Muammar Qaddafi deserves whatever comes his way IMHO. However, the Italian people do not. This Black Nobility card holding member of the NWO founders should not seem surprised. He helped create the beast that now turns on him.  

But really, we have all known the PIGS countries were going to fall sooner than later. Why would it be any different for Italy than for Greece?

By Silvio Berlusconi had seemed irremovable. Il Cavaliere had survived a series of blows that would have felled anyone else. 

He had weathered accusations of bribery, soliciting underage sex, tax fraud and mafia links. He had shrugged off the attentions of ~ by his own count ~ 789 prosecutors and magistrates. He had recovered from being whacked in the face with a statue by an angry Milanese. 

He had laughed off gaffes on electric-rail topics from Muslims to Nazis.

No wonder he thought himself invulnerable. He had become the longest-serving Italian leader since ~ well, since Mussolini. 

Yet he underestimated the EU's hideous strength. 

Observing the crisis in Greece, and the EU's reaction to it, he had concluded that Brussels would do anything to keep the euro together. If his austerity measures were insufficient, the EU would come up with the extra cash. 

It was the same calculation that George Papandreou had made, and his fate was the same; the same, indeed, as that of every leader since Margaret Thatcher to have found himself on the wrong side of the Brussels combine harvester.

Don't get me wrong: 

I can think of all sorts of reasons why Italians might have wanted to see their risible premier sleeping with the fishes. My point isn't about the pros and cons of Berlusconi; it's about the awesome power of the EU to subvert the internal democracy of its member nations.

Bond spreads were widening as the markets priced in the possibility of Italy leaving the euro. Berlusconi's crime, in the eyes of Eurocrats, was to be relaxed about the prospect. 

He effectively told Eurocrats,

‘If you want your single currency, you pay'.

Five days ago, he made the threat overt:

'Italians have been made poorer since the introduction of the euro.'

The moment those words were spoken, he was finished.
