Government faces nightmare scenario of third Lisbon vote

THE nightmare prospect of another Lisbon Treaty vote loomed last night as EU leaders met in Brussels.

Germany is continuing to press hard to reopen the Lisbon Treaty, tighten rules on spending and bring in punishments for breaches.

Backed by France, the Germans want countries that break budget deficit rules to have their voting rights suspended — a measure that would prompt a referendum in Ireland and is staunchly opposed by Mr Cowen.

After the Nice and Lisbon experiences, the Government is against any changes that would result in substantial changes needing to be passed in a referendum.

“I don’t believe the suspension of voting rights is a runner as far as getting the agreement of my country,” Mr Cowen said.

Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Portugal are also sceptical on the voting rights issue.

Deutsche Bank to be sued over “rampant” subprime fraud by Assured Guaranty

Assured Guaranty Sues Deutsche Bank Over Mortgages

By Shannon D. Harrington and Karen Freifeld – Oct 26, 2010 12:55 AM GMT+0200

A unit of Assured Guaranty Ltd. sued affiliates of Deutsche Bank AG over $312 million of mortgage- backed securities that the bond insurer guaranteed and says were “plagued by rampant fraud and misrepresentations.”

Assured Guaranty Corp. is asking a judge to force the bank to repurchase the loans, on which the insurer has already paid almost $60 million in loss claims and sees the potential for tens of millions of dollars more, according to a complaint filed today in New York state Supreme Court against DB Structured Products Inc. and ACE Securities Corp. The bond insurer, backed by billionaire Wilbur Ross, is also seeking

reimbursement for the claims paid and for future losses.

“The entire pools of loans that Deutsche Bank securitized (and to a large degree originated) in the transactions are plagued by rampant fraud and misrepresentations and an abdication of sound origination and underwriting practices,” Assured said in the complaint.

UPDATE: As this contrived scare unravels, Obama has given a press conference reversing earlier announcements that there were no explosives in the packages found on the planes. Obama claimed that the packages “did apparently contain explosive material,” completely contradicting earlier reports which quoted authorities as saying that both the package found in the UK and the two found in the U.S. were all duds and contained no explosive material.

A few hours ago CNN reported, “Investigators examined two UPS planes that landed at Philadelphia International Airport and another at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, said Mike Mangeot, a UPS spokesman. Authorities later gave the “all-clear” at the airport in Newark, U.S. and U.K. officials said,” and yet now CNN is running with the headline, Suspicious packages ‘contain explosive material,’ Obama says. This stinks to high heaven. Obama is directly contradicting the announcements of his own federal security apparatus.

A shout out to Dee and her family in Ireland

And a big thank you for your letter and kind donation!!

The luck of the Irish is an amazing thing and will surely not desert the wonderful, decent and big hearted  Irish people currently facing the prospect of total eradication in an EU-empire controlled by banks because of the betrayal and the greed of their so-called “elite”. The Irish had to endure shocking cruelty at the hands of the British colonialists as well as an engineered famine halved the country’s population. But the spirit and sense of fairplay of the Irish is legendary, and the EU and banks are picking on the wrong country, for sure, to rob and try and take over.

Brussels showdown over Merkel and Sarkozy plans to eliminate national sovereignty

[Editor's Note: The push underway in Brussels by Bilderbergs Merkel and Sarkozy to change the Lisbon treaty to allow for the establishment of a permanent mechanism to extract money from EU member countries in debt (through fraud - see Hypo Alpe Adria case), as well as for the suspension of a country’s voting rights if it does not reduce national debt by the amount ordered will eliminate what is left of national sovereignty for eurozone countries.To accept these changes is tantamount to surrending a country's control over its financial policies as well as its government to an unelected EU totalitarian state. The Irish Constitution will require a referendum for such a change.]

In a SPIEGEL interview, historian Eckart Conze discusses the German Foreign Ministry’s contribution to the Holocaust, Nazi old-boy networks in postwar Germany and the reluctance of the German diplomatic community to address its own troublesome past.
