Dollar fall failed, so now EURO fall? Europe's New Debt Mechanism Has Come too Late for Euro Crisis There is no euro-crisis ... Since the start of the euro crisis, Europe's leaders have perfected two techniques: scrambling to catch up with events, and playing them down.

Authoritarian regimes give rise to forces which oppose them by pushing against the individual and collective will to freedom, truth and self realization. Plans which assist authoritarian rule, once discovered, induce resistance. Hence these plans are concealed by successful authoritarian powers.
