Fyrir hverja er krónan? Gunnar Hólmsteinn á www.jaisland.is

Gunnar Hólmsteinn Ársælsson, stjórnmálafræðingur, skrifaði grein um gjaldmiðilsmál á vefsíðu samtakanna Já-Ísland, sem birtist þann 18. maí síðastliðinn. Gunnar segir í byrjun greinarinnar (Fyrir hverja er krónan?):

"Fyrir hverja er Krónan? Þessi spurning hefur leitað á mig undanfarið, enda kannski ekki nema von – umræða um gjaldmiðilsmál hefur verið mikil. Menn hafa verið að ræða ýmislegt; íslenska krónu, norska krónu, færeyska krónu, Evru, Kanadadollar, Dollar, einhliða upptöku, tvíhliða upptöku, fjölmyntakerfi, fastgengisstefnu og nú síðast Nýkrónu-hugmynd Lilju Mósesdóttir. Kannski ekki nema von að fólk sé létt-ruglað í þessu öllu saman.

Sumir möguleikar eru hreinlega engir möguleikar og hægt að útiloka strax. Norska ríkisstjórnin er t.d. ekkert á þeim buxunum að leyfa okkur að taka upp norsku krónuna. Það kom berlega ljós hjá norskum ráðamönnum fyrir nokkrum misserum. Upphlaupið með Kanadadollar virðist einnig óraunsætt, þó það sé tæknilega framkvæmanlegt. Því myndi einnig fylgja algert afsal á fullveldi Íslands í gjaldmiðilsmálum. Nokkuð sérkennilegt að Framsóknarflokkurinn (les: formaðurinn) skuli vera í þessum hugleiðingum. En á sama tíma felst í þessu viðurkenning á miklum veikleikum krónunnar. Þá má einnig benda á að Samtök ungra sjálfstæðismanna (SUS) telja að krónan sé ekki lengur nothæf."

Síðar segir Gunnar: "Önnur hlið á krónunni er það sem ég vill kalla ,,sjálfstæði til misþyrmingar,“ á krónunni, gjaldmiðlinum.  Ef krónan væri heimilsdýr væri búið að kæra eigandann fyrir illa meðferð og sennilega taka af honum forræðið! Verðmæti krónunnar hefur minnkað um 99.5% frá 1920-2009. Það var jú líka einu sinni þannig að útgerðin gat nánast pantað gengisfellingu (misþyrmingu) á krónunni, til þess að laga efnhagsreikning útgerðarfyrirtækja. Ákveðnir menn komu í fjölmiðla, báru sig illa og síðan var gengið fellt! Almenningur þurfti síðan að taka skellinn í formi kaupmáttarskerðingar. Einnig var algengt að strax eftir nýja kjarasamninga, þá var gengið fellt. Á bóluárunum, (eftir árið 2000) kvartaði útgerðin yfir of háu gengi, en ódýr erlendur innflutningur flæddi þá yfir landið. Eftir hrun kvartar útgerðin ekki, enda hrundi krónan, sem þýðir jú fleiri krónur í kassann." (Feitletrun: ES-bloggið).

 Fyrir hverja er ESB ?

The Bilderberg Group and the European Union Project

In 1954, the Bilderberg Group was founded in the Netherlands, which was a secretive meeting held once a year, drawing roughly 130 of the political-financial-military-academic-media elites from North America and Western Europe as “an informal network of influential people who could consult each other privately and confidentially.”[1] Regular participants include the CEOs or Chairman of some of the largest corporations in the world, oil companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, British Petroleum, and Total SA, as well as various European monarchs, international bankers such as David Rockefeller, major politicians, presidents, prime ministers, and central bankers of the world.[2]

           
Joseph Retinger, the founder of the Bilderberg Group, was also one of the original architects of the European Common Market and a leading intellectual champion of European integration. In 1946, he told the Royal Institute of International Affairs (the British counterpart and sister organization of the Council on Foreign Relations), that Europe needed to create a federal union and for European countries to “relinquish part of their sovereignty.” Retinger was a founder of the European Movement (EM), a lobbying organization dedicated to creating a federal Europe. Retinger secured financial support for the European Movement from powerful US financial interests such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Rockefellers.[3] However, it is hard to distinguish between the CFR and the Rockefellers, as, especially following World War II, the CFR’s main finances came from the Carnegie Corporation, Ford Foundation and most especially, the Rockefeller Foundation.[4]

           
The Bilderberg Group acts as a “secretive global think-tank,” with an original intent to “to link governments and economies in Europe and North America amid the Cold War.”[5] One of the Bilderberg Group’s main goals was unifying Europe into a European Union. Apart from Retinger, the founder of the Bilderberg Group and the European Movement, another ideological founder of European integration was Jean Monnet, who founded the Action Committee for a United States of Europe, an organization dedicated to promoting European integration, and he was also the major promoter and first president of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the precursor to the European Common Market.[6]

           
Declassified documents (released in 2001) showed that “the US intelligence community ran a campaign in the Fifties and Sixties to build momentum for a united Europe. It funded and directed the European federalist movement.”[7] The documents revealed that, “America was working aggressively behind the scenes to push Britain into a European state. One memorandum, dated July 26, 1950, gives instructions for a campaign to promote a fully-fledged European parliament. It is signed by Gen William J Donovan, head of the American wartime Office of Strategic Services, precursor of the CIA.” Further, “Washington's main tool for shaping the European agenda was the American Committee for a United Europe, created in 1948. The chairman was Donovan, ostensibly a private lawyer by then,” and “The vice-chairman was Allen Dulles, the CIA director in the Fifties. The board included Walter Bedell Smith, the CIA's first director, and a roster of ex-OSS figures and officials who moved in and out of the CIA. The documents show that ACUE financed the European Movement, the most important federalist organisation in the post-war years.” Interestingly, “The leaders of the European Movement - Retinger, the visionary Robert Schuman and the former Belgian prime minister Paul-Henri Spaak - were all treated as hired hands by their American sponsors. The US role was handled as a covert operation. ACUE's funding came from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations as well as business groups with close ties to the US government.”[8]

           
The European Coal and Steel Community was formed in 1951, and signed by France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Newly released documents from the 1955 Bilderberg meeting show that a main topic of discussion was “European Unity,” and that “The discussion affirmed complete support for the idea of integration and unification from the representatives of all the six nations of the Coal and Steel Community present at the conference.” Further, “A European speaker expressed concern about the need to achieve a common currency, and indicated that in his view this necessarily implied the creation of a central political authority.” Interestingly, “A United States participant confirmed that the United States had not weakened in its enthusiastic support for the idea of integration, although there was considerable diffidence in America as to how this enthusiasm should be manifested. Another United States participant urged his European friends to go ahead with the unification of Europe with less emphasis upon ideological considerations and, above all, to be practical and work fast.”[9] Thus, at the 1955 Bilderberg Group meeting, they set as a primary agenda, the creation of a European common market.[10]

           
In 1957, two years later, the Treaty of Rome was signed, which created the European Economic Community (EEC), also known as the European Community. Over the decades, various other treaties were signed, and more countries joined the European Community. In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty was signed, which created the European Union and led to the creation of the Euro. The European Monetary Institute was created in 1994, the European Central Bank was founded in 1998, and the Euro was launched in 1999. Etienne Davignon, Chairman of the Bilderberg Group and former EU Commissioner, revealed in March of 2009 that the Euro was debated and planned at Bilderberg conferences.[11] This was an example of regionalism, of integrating an entire region of the world, a whole continent, into a large supranational structure. This was one of the primary functions of the Bilderberg Group, which would also come to play a major part in other international issues.http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14614

As indicated from leaks of the recent 2011 Bilderberg meeting in Switzerland, the euro-zone is in a major crisis, and Bilderberg members are struggling to keep the house of glass from shattering to pieces. One major subject discussed at this year’s meeting, according to Bilderberg investigative journalist, Daniel Estulin (who reportedly has inside sources in the meetings who leak information, which has proved quite accurate in the past), the Bilderberg meeting discussed the situation of Greece, which is likely to only get worse, with another bailout on the horizon, continuing social unrest, and a possible abandonment of the euro. The problems of Greece, Ireland and the wider global economy as a whole were featured in this year’s discussions.[30] Representatives from Greece this year included George Papaconstantinou, the Greek Minister of Finance, among several bankers and businessmen.[31]

Among the EU power players attending this years meeting was the first President of the European Council, Herman van Rompuy, who was appointed as President following an invitation to a private Bilderberg meeting in November of 2009, at which he gave a speech advocating for EU-wide taxes, allowing the EU to not rely exclusively upon its member nations, but have its “own resources.”[32] Van Rompuy, who previously stated that, “2009 is also the first year of global governance,” is no surprise guest at Bilderberg. Other key EU officials who attended this year’s meeting were Joaquín Almunia, a Vice President of the European Commission; Frans van Daele, Chief of Staff to European Council President Van Rompuy; Neelie Kroes, a Vice President of the European Commission; and of course, Jean-Claude Trichet, President of the European Central Bank.[33]

Sæll aftur Steini Briem "Ég þarf ekki að reyna eitt eða neitt.."

Ég hefði skilið þetta hjá þér ef þú hefðir sagt samráðshyggju-bull (eða Corporatism –bull), en ekki "Fasistabull", hvað um það þú ert eitthvað svo ofsalega hrifinn af þessari ólýðræðislega kjörnu Framkvæmdarstjórn ESB, og báðum þessum ólýðræðislega kjörnum forsetum ESB Herman Van Rompuy, Jose Barroso forseta Framkvæmdarstjórnar ESB og öllu þessu ólýðræðislega drasli eins og það leggur sig. Er það nokkur furða að þú skulir nefna annað bara "Fasistabull" án skilgreininga eða með rökstuðningi, enn og aftur þá rökstyður þú aldrei eitt eða neitt hvort sem er, og fólk á einfaldlega ekki von á því heldur, þannig er það nú bara með þig Steini Briem ESB- sinni.         

[Þorsteinn Briem, 24.5.2012 kl. 00:55]

Haltu bara áfram með þitt fasistabull, Þorsteinn Sch Thorsteinsson.

Út í það óendanlega.
