Hamhlaup Jóhönnu

Hamhleypan hún Jóhanna, sem nú situr í forsæti fyrir ríkisslitastjórn Íslands, hefur nóg að gera um þessar mundir. Úti í Evrópu hefur klæðskeri hennar og annarra verið staðinn að ólöglegum viðskiptaháttum. Þessir viðskiptahættir eru smátt og smátt að opinberast öllum sem vilja sjá og heyra menn á hlaupum um þá ganga Evrópusambandsins sem utanríkisráðherra Frakklands lýsti á fundi í Varsjá sem verandi ógöngum. 

Þegar hamur Jóhönnu hleypur, gengur það ekki þegjandi og hljóðalaust fyrir sig. Hún hefur því á meðan gripið til þess ráðs að leita sér skjóls inni í álfhóli Samfylkingarinnar, þarna sem brottkastið af Steingrími fyrrverandi Sigfússyni liggur. Þetta er gert svo hin sársaukafullu hamskipti sjáist hvorki né heyrist. Enginn mun vita hvernig forsætisráðherrann lítur út þegar hún birtist aftur. Það sama er að gerast út um víða Evrópu. En bíðið bara. Hamskipti fara fram. Við höfum séð svona gerast áður, og einmitt í Evrópu.

Flestir fjölmiðlar hafa því miður misskilið það sem sannarlega er á seyði. Í stað raunverulegra upplýsinga hafa þeir sæmt forsætisráðherra okkar huldumannaverðlaunum Íslands.

After this crisis, nothing will be the same again

 

ON this day 97 years ago, Germany declared war on France, dragging Ireland into a world war that had begun miles away with an assassination in Sarajevo and finished at home with a war of independence that ended British rule in Ireland. It is interesting that by 1921, “victorious” Britain would end up losing more of her land mass than “defeated” Germany. []

 

[] For example, one of the best-selling books in Britain and Ireland in the run up to the war was ‘The Grand Illusion’ by Norman Angell. 

 

Angell, a left-leaning English economist and journalist, argued that because the world was so tied together by international trade and finance, economic interdependency would ensure that no European power would fight another. He concluded that since it would make no financial sense to fight, no country would do so.

 

How wrong was that? Yet it was the prevailing wisdom of the elites — both on the left and the right — in most countries.

 

The financial markets, which — back then, as today — were supposed to assess future risk, hardly budged after the assassination in Sarajevo, preferring instead to dismiss it as a “typical” Balkan episode. Surely this couldn’t reverberate from there to engulf the whole continent?

 

In London and Dublin throughout July 1914, people went about their business as if nothing major was happening. Not until July 30, less than a week before all-out war, did the markets begin to panic. Lesa alla greinina hér

Samkvæmt Wikipedia; Angell is most widely remembered for his 1909 pamphlet, Europe's Optical Illusion, which was published the following year (and many years thereafter) as the book, The Great Illusion. (The anti-war film The Grand Illusion took its title from his pamphlet.) The thesis of the book was that the integration of the economies of European countries had grown to such a degree that war between them would be entirely futile, making militarism obsolete. This quotation from the "Synopsis" to the popular 1913 edition summarizes his basic argument. Hér
